STEEL PANTHER singer Michael Starr joined former SKID ROW frontman Sebastian Bach on stage on May 29 at the Rocklahoma festival in Pryor, Oklahoma to perform the SKID ROW classic "Youth Gone Wild". Video footage of his appearance can be seen below (courtesy of Decibel Geek TV). During a recent interview with Loudwire, Bach was once again asked if he would be open to a reunion of SKID ROW's classic lineup. He said: "I don't have any reason why not to do that… I have no animosity towards anybody in SKID ROW, and the fact that we're all, five of us, still alive in this world is a pretty amazing feat. So I would someday definitely like to hear the five guys who made those records play live together again. Yes, I would. 'Cause I'm a fan too." Back in January, Bach revealed how a reunion with SKID ROW could materialize. He wrote on his Twitter account: "Only way a SKID ROW reunion could happen is if we somehow tried [to] bury a 20-year hatchet between us. Would love the chance to do so #SitDown" He added in another tweet: "To be honest, I have said some super shitty things [to] them [and] about them. I would like to apologize for shooting my mouth off." Last year, SKID ROW guitarist Dave "Snake" Sabo seemed to shut the door on a possibility of working with Bach again. He told The Aquarian Weekly: "Happiness, to me, is my spirit and my soul is more important to me than having dollars in my wallet. People may [not] believe that and that's okay. Anybody who knows me knows that to be true. I don't think you can place a price on happiness. We've been hit repeatedly over the years with, 'Why don't you do a reunion tour?' And you know what? I understand the question and I get it. I really do, and if I were on the outside, I'd be asking the same question, but no one feels comfortable with that idea." Singer Tony Harnell announced his departure from SKID ROW last December, eight months after he joined the band as the replacement for Johnny Solinger, who was the group's frontman for fifteen years. SKID ROW has played several shows in recent months with the South African-born, British-based singer ZP Theart (DRAGONFORCE, TANK, I AM I), but he has not been officially named as the permanent replacement for Harnell.
