There is more than one artist with this name:
1) Skid Row is a hard rock/heavy metal band that was formed by bassist Rachel Bolan and guitarist Dave Sabo, who got the band a quick record deal through being close friends with Jon Bon Jovi, lead singer of popular hard rock band Bon Jovi. In 1987 Gary Moore, of the other band name Skid Row, sold the rights to the name for $35,000. The band signed a deal with Atlantic Records and their first self-titled album was finally released in 1989. It included their three most famous songs: “18 and Life”, “I Remember You” and their first single “Youth Gone Wild”. They performed at the Moscow peace festival in 1989 along with Ozzy Osbourne, Scorpions, Mötley Crüe, Gorky Park, Bon Jovi and Cinderella.
During 1990, the band prepared to record their sophomore record. Spring 1991 saw the release of “Slave To The Grind”; Though not as successful sales-wise as the first album it was the first heavy metal album ever to reach #1 on the American Billboard album charts. In the following year, there was a five-song EP of covers called “B-Side Ourselves”. The band took the years 1993 and 1994 off and did not release their third album, “Subhuman Race,” until March 1995, which is the last to feature their original line-up.
The band’s original line-up parted ways in 1996, when frontman Sebastian Bachwas fired and was replaced with singer Sean McCabe. Bach moved on to a solo career and Skid Row never recorded with McCabe. Shortly after Bach’s departure drummer Rob Affuso was also fired.

Hello everybody! There is a big problem! There is a new band called Giant! In last.fm http://www.last.fm/music/Giant with the same name is the old AOR band Giant and the experimental doom metal band Giant.When users listening "Giant" they see the same name,different pictures and different similar artists-something like this: Tides, Rosetta, Winger,Bonfire..... I want to ask you to visit this link http://www.last.fm/music/Giant/+images and give your negative vote about every picture of the experimental doom metal band.This is really important!This is the way to erase their photos like default pictures for this band. You must give you positive vote about every pictures of the AOR band Giant : and tell for this on your friend!Chears! Sorry, but this isn`t the way to bacome famous -using Dann Huff`s band! Thank you!
