SKID ROW's Rachel Bolan Says That JOHNNY SOLINGER Is More Of A Fixture In The Band Than SEBASTIAN BACH Ever Was
July 21, 2011, 13 years ago
Adam Hammer from Sctimes.com spoke with SKID ROW bassist Rachel Bolan recently about a number of topics. A few excerpts from the chat follow:
Sctimes.com: There were talks recently about a possible reunion with Sebastian Bach. Did that fizzle out quickly?
Bolan: "Actually, there were never any talks. Ever. That was all just total rumor. We got rid of him in the ‘90s and never looked back."
Sctimes.com: Johnny Solinger has been in the band for 12 years now. At this point does he seem like more of a fixture in the band than Bach ever was?
Bolan: "Absolutely. After the first tour it seemed like this is the way it’s always been. It’s so weird, I’ll hear an old song on the radio and it just sounds so bizarre to me because I’m so used to Johnny singing it."
Sctimes.com: Is Skid Row working on any new music?
Bolan: "Actually, we are. Snake and I are writing when we get a chance. We’ve got about eight songs right now and we want to write at least 10 more and pick from that. I live in Atlanta and he lives out in Hollywood, so it takes a little bit of planning. We do what we can through the mail, but we never really feel right about something until we sit down in the same room together and write. I doubt that it will be out this year, but hopefully 2012. I gotta tell you, just saying that, 'in 2012'... When we recorded our first album in ‘88, I never thought we’d still be making records in 2012. That’s pretty cool."
