Guitar Meets Science has shared a new mini-documentary. Check it out below:
“This week, we dive headfirst into the explosive behind-the-scenes story of Skid Row and how their shot at superstardom was sabotaged—not by rivals, but by their own supposed allies. We uncover how Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora discovered the band, took control of their publishing rights, and made millions, while Skid Row got scraps. From their meteoric rise with ‘Youth Gone Wild’ and ’18 And Life’, to the bitter battles with their management and each other, this is the brutal truth behind one of the most iconic hard rock bands of the late ’80s and early ’90s. We’ll cover the role of Doc McGhee, the power struggle that led to Sebastian Bach’s exit, and how Skid Row never fully recovered from being outmaneuvered by the very people who were supposed to have their backs.”
Skid Row exploded onto the music scene in the late ’80s, becoming a predominant force in the hard rock and heavy metal genre. Known for their raw energy, melodic hooks, and a relentless edge, Skid Row earned global success with hits such as “18 And Life,” “Youth Gone Wild,” and “I Remember You.” The band became synonymous with the rebellious spirit of the late ’80s and early ’90s, selling millions of albums worldwide and solidifying their place in rock history.
Following the success of their last studio album, The Gang’s All Here, it’s easy to recognize the consistent quality that Snake Sabo, Scotti Hill, and Rachel Bolan have brought to every chapter of their discography.
The band’s fifth studio album, Revolutions Per Minute, represents a pivotal moment in the band’s career, with Skid Row stepping outside of their comfort zone and bringing new ideas and influences into the fold. The album showcases the band’s evolving style, combining their signature grit with a more modern, aggressive tone.
Newly mastered in 2025, this reissue edition of Revolutions Per Minute offers fans the opportunity to rediscover this classic album and appreciate its enduring impact.
