SKID ROW Celebrates 40th Anniversary Of Band's Formation With Remastered '40 Seasons: The Best Of Skid Row'

BMG, in partnership with Rhino Entertainment, has announced a newly remastered edition of SKID ROW's "40 Seasons: The Best Of Skid Row", arriving November 6 in the U.S. and December 4 elsewhere, on CD — and for the first time ever — translucent blue vinyl.

Originally released in 1998, "40 Seasons: The Best Of Skid Row" brings together 16 tracks from one of hard rock's most explosive and enduring bands, spanning the multi-platinum albums "Skid Row" and "Slave To The Grind" through 1995's "Subhuman Race".

Now newly remastered, the collection puts a fresh spotlight on a catalog that helped define a generation and captures SKID ROW at their most raw, their loudest, and their most unforgettable.

Alongside the band's best-known songs like "Youth Gone Wild" and "18 And Life", the collection digs deeper into their catalog with demos of "Fire In The Hole" and "Frozen"; remixes of tracks like "Into Another" and "Breakin' Down"; as well as a live version of "Beat Yourself Blind" record in London's Astoria in 1995.

Formed in New Jersey, SKID ROW broke on to the international stage with their self-titled 1989 debut, establishing themselves with a combination of huge hooks, street-level attitude, and ferocious live reputation. Two years later, "Slave To The Grind" pushed the band into heavier territory while cementing their place among the era's defining hard rock acts.

More than three decades later, their songs remain cornerstones of the hard rock canon, resonating with both longtime fans and new generations alike.

SKID ROW recently launched a first-of-its-kind partnership with USA company Sweetwater, the world's leading online retailer of musical instruments and pro-audio equipment, to search worldwide for SKID ROW's next lead vocalist. The collaboration invites singers from around the world to audition for the opportunity to front one of rock's most enduring and respected acts.

Singer Erik Grönwall exited SKID ROW two and a half years ago. The now-38-year-old Swedish-born musician, who was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in March 2021, announced his departure from SKID ROW in March 2024, saying that it had become increasingly "difficult to prioritize" his health and full recovery as the lead singer of the group.

Erik was SKID ROW's fourth frontman since Sebastian Bach's departure.

Bach fronted SKID ROW until 1996, when he was fired. Instead of throwing in the towel, the remaining members took a hiatus and went on to play briefly in a band called OZONE MONDAY. In 1999, SKID ROW reformed and, after a bit of shuffling over the years, featured a lineup consisting of bassist Rachel Bolan, guitarists Dave "Snake" Sabo and Scotti Hill, alongside drummer Rob Hammersmith and singer Johnny Solinger. SKID ROW fired Solinger over the phone in April 2015, a few hours before announcing ex-TNT vocalist Tony Harnell as his replacement. Eight months later, Harnell exited the band and was replaced by South African-born, British-based singer ZP Theart, who previously fronted DRAGONFORCE, TANK and I AM I. Theart was fired from SKID ROW in February 2022 and was replaced by Grönwall, who was previously a member of the Swedish hard rock band H.E.A.T.
