The Great Southern Brainfart spoke with SKID ROW bassist Rachel Bolan recently about a number of topics. A few excerpts from the chat follow:

Great Southern Brainfart: Fans of the band have always stated their want for a Skid Row reunion with the Sebastian (Bach) and Rob (Affuso). Is this something that will ever happen?

Bolan: "I can’t see that happening and I think I can speak for Scotti (Hill; guitarist) and Snake that they couldn’t see it happening either."

Great Southern Brainfart: I find it really awesome that Skid Row is still putting out new music. Why do this as opposed to taking the “nostalgic” route and just milking your old songs?

Bolan: "We’re musicians, we’re songwriters and we’re creative people so to constantly do the old stuff and just the old stuff just wouldn’t be any fun. It would just get boring after a while. We write songs and we record them. We have a pile of them now that Snake and I wrote that we’ll demo when the guys are into to do the Wild Bill’s show so we’re just going to keep stockpiling them and when we’re ready we’ll put out another record."

Great Southern Brainfart: What can we look forward to from Skid Row in 2011?

Bolan: "We’ve been writing a lot and we’re hoping to get something out at the end of the year. Every time I say that it doesn’t happen though [laughs]. We’re going to release something this year whether its a full album or a couple of singles. We’re going to try to do things a bit different because the music industry is so different than when we first came out. We’re just going to play it by ear and take it as it goes and maybe we’ll pop up on a movie soundtrack or something."
