Actually, no. I was only three years old when Skid Row came on the scene, but being a lover of GOOD popular music (hint hint, Xtina!), I can understand how Skid Row became a big phenomenon. While Guns N' Roses were busy recording Use Your Illusion (the TRUE followup to Appetite For Destruction), Skid Row temporary replaced them as a rough, dirty, war, ugly fivesome that brought the hard rock edge back in metal music, making one of the few likeable hair metal bands nowadays. Not even Poison, Motley Crue or Bon Jovi were a match! Sebastian Bach has got some pipes and in no way his voice high-pitched and whiny like Axl Rose's. There's nothing close on this album to Welcome To The Jungle or even Sweet Child O'Mine, but some songs here, such as 18 And Life, I Remember You, Youth Gone Wild and Can't Stand The Heartache, even stand out better than Anything Goes or Rocket Queen. I Remember You is also notable for a hair-edging feedback solo from The Snake. Scotti Hill and Rachel Bolan also feed the fire with their axes. Skid Row never really made it as big as Guns N' Roses, but they deserved to!

So if your looking for a classic tale of teenage angst and fairytale love affairs, this is the album for you. Sebastian not only takes you to a place of complete serenity, but also rocks your socks (off). To expect anything more than these monster ballads would take an act from a heavy metal God. Please do not listen to this whole album at once, for it will only fuel your fire to unsavory proportions. Go Skid Row!
