Dave Sabo was part of Bon Jovi's original lineup and was childhood friends with Jon Bon Jovi. In 1984, Richie Sambora ended up taking his place in the band, which soon took off. Sabo formed Skid Row with Rachel Bolan in 1986; a year later they added the brash young Canadian singer Sebastian Bach, who was 20 years old when the Skid Row album was released in 1988. Jon Bon Jovi helped the band get a record deal; they shared the same manager, and Skid Row inked a publishing deal with the company owned by Jon and Richie, who now had a profit motive for seeing them succeed.

Both the best and worst thing I can say about it is that it reads like someone telling you a bunch of really cool anecdotes. The downside is that as a result a lot of the fine detail gets left out. And as a hardcore Skid Row fan I want DETAIL. Amanda from Sheffield, United KingdomMadalyn, the lyrics say "had a courtship with a gun". I would think that means he shot hom with a gun, not a syringe.Popoff, Martin (2014). The Big Book of Hair Metal: The Illustrated Oral History of Heavy Metal's Debauched Decade.

Bach interacts with 1970s acts like Kiss and Aerosmith - and they had survived 1970s partying to come out on the other side with strict sobriety edicts. Bach blissfully walks in with drugs or alcohol and is summarily told to take off. Especially poignant was a scene in which Gene Simmons of Kiss (Bach's idol) expresses his disgust at Bach's drug fueled antics. Similarly, behind the scenes of life with Bon Jovi, with whom his band was intimately bound, are also worth the read. Vignettes of other bands including Guns N Roses, Pantera, etc. are interspersed throughout. Matt from Seminole, OkMy guess is that the lyrics "18 and life to go" mean he is 18 with life in prison "to go". meaning "only 18 and already charged with life". Unless the lyrics were just wrote wrong.

Oh and @ Mike from Brooklyn..... P.S. ~ in the lyrics where he said "he fired his six shot to the wind", I thought it was "he fired his six shot through the wimp" lmao. Former SKID ROW singer Sebastian Bach will release his long-awaited autobiography, "18 And Life On Skid Row", on December 6 via Dey Street Books (formerly It Books),an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers.

What there is no mention of is the politically and racially charged rant he was in the midst of when said bottle was thrown. So he kind of avoids taking much responsibility for stuff, apart from the odd fight he gets into. There was never a doubt I'd give this 5 stars. It could have been the biggest piece of trash, with the worst writing ever, and I'd have given it 5 stars. Just being honest.
