When requested if the band has set their sights on any new singers throughout his look on The Hook Rocks podcast, Sabo replies [via Blabbermouth], “We haven’t focused anyone.”

“If we wanna proceed as Skid Row, we’re gonna need to get one other singer. However we haven’t focused anyone. There’s numerous nice singers on the market,” Sabo explains. “However Lzzy simply raised the bar, man. And Erik is a good singer. He raised the bar as nicely. After which Lzzy simply got here in right here and simply actually raised the bar and confirmed us one other facet of what this band could possibly be.”

“So, it doesn’t essentially need to be a male singer in Skid Row. The choices are huge open. And like I stated, there’s a lot expertise on the market, however we simply wanna be sure that we make the fitting selection and that we are able to carry the band to a different stage. That’s the hope.”

Pressed once more about the potential for reuniting with Bach, Sabo says: “Nicely, the reply has been the identical for – I don’t know – 20,000 years now. It’s not gonna occur. And I say the identical factor each time.”

“I’m grateful that individuals have such an curiosity in eager to see that occur, however I additionally need to reiterate that that is about being completely happy within the state of affairs that you just’re in. So I’ll communicate for myself personally.”

He continues: “Initially, I do must say one thing too, is that the rationale that this isn’t occurring is as a result of there’s three of us – myself, Scotti [Hill, guitarist] and Rachel [Bolan, bassist] – who’ve had conversations about this, and we’ve all been on the identical web page that we don’t wanna go down that highway once more. We simply — we don’t.”

“Rachel has taken a beating over this by the years. He’s the one who’s been blamed for this. ‘Oh, it’s Rachel’s ego.’ ‘It’s this and that.’ No, that’s a load of bullshit. That isn’t true. And I really feel dangerous as a result of he’s actually, actually needed to shoulder that blame and has by no means stated something derogatory or something like that. However you understand what? The reality of the matter is that Rachel, Scotti and myself have frequently felt the identical manner, that we get pleasure from being completely happy on this band and we’re actually completely happy.”
