1. Skid Row is an American heavy metal band formed in 1986 in Toms River, New Jersey. Its current lineup consists of bassist Rachel Bolan, guitarists Dave Sabo and Scotti Hill, and drummer Rob Hammersmith.

The first three albums featured the lineup of Bolan, Sabo, Hill, drummer Rob Affuso, and lead vocalist Sebastian Bach. By the end of 1996, Skid Row had sold 20 million albums worldwide.

Skid Row reformed in 1999 with Johnny Solinger, formerly of Solinger, replacing Bach as lead singer, and a series of drummers, the most recent being Rob Hammersmith. Solinger recorded two studio albums with the band, "Thickskin" (2003) and "Revolutions per Minute" (2006), as well as the EPs "United Worl
