Skid Row bassist Rachel Bolan is featured in a new interview with The Great Southern Brainfart. He discusses the songs in the band's catalogue he loves veusus the ones he hates, their new Rise Of The Damnation Army EP, and social media. An excerpt is available below:

Q: These days bands really connect directly with their fans via social media. Did social media kill the rock star persona?

Rachel Bolan: "Absolutely. I think it totally did. It’s something that I’ve grown used to. I still try to keep my personal life as private as I possibly can. I used to love waiting around for the next month’s Circus magazine to come out because they were doing a 4 part KISS story or something. It was the anticipation of having to wait another month and I’d go to 7-11 every day just to see if was there and then I’d get and I’d read it over and over again. I miss that. They were like super heroes but nowadays everything is so instant and it kind of takes the fun out of it to be honest."
