With five fully featured studio albums, this American heavy metal band Skid Row tasted sweet success from the late 1980s to the early 1990s. Formed in Toms River, New Jersey, the band has sold over 20 million copies of their albums. One of their most impressive achievements is releasing their debut album in just three years, something that many bands never accomplish.

This occurred when Bach wanted the band to open for KISS, but the rest of the group disagreed, leading to a falling out and Bach’s departure. The current lineup of the band includes Johnny Solinger, Scotti Hill, Rob Hammersmith, and, of course, the two founders.
The band had a tumultuous relationship with Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora. They signed over their publishing rights to the two, as Bon Jovi was looking for new talent to sign with their new publishing company, Underground Music Company.
