Skid Row is getting closer to finding themselves a new singer.
In a new interview with Motorcycle Mayhem Radio, Dave Sabo said their search has been going great. “First of all we’re taking our time we’re not rushing into anything. There’s been a lot of great people that we’ve gotten YouTube videos.”
“Once again you have to find what works for what we’re doing, and we’re close,” he revealed. “There’s a few people out there that we’re really interested, we just got to make sure that it’s the right thing. We want people to enjoy themselves like we want to be able to show respect for the history of the band and we also want to be able for people to enjoy going to a show and feeling like they got more than their money’s worth. Then at some point be able to make a really good record.”
It’s been almost a year since Erik Grönwall left Skid Row due to health issues. Since then, the band toured with Lzzy Hale as their temporary singer.
In January, drummer Rob Hammersmith described what kind of a singer the band has been looking for. “If I were to give you four or five adjectives to say, ‘This is what I’m looking for’… We want somebody who has a presence and a personality and has something about themselves. Anybody who knows the band’s history kind of knows we’re an energetic band. We take pride in that. We’re an energetic band. We have a particular way of doing things.”
Hammersmith continued, “That’s not to say that we’re not open to somebody bringing their own stamp to it, but that’s a very difficult question for me to answer. So I would say that you hit the nail on the head by saying we’ll know it when we see it. But it is a pre-existing thing. That’s a difficult balance.”
Though their original singer Sebastian Bach had a plan for a possible reunion and even sent several messages to the band about it, he recently confirmed that he is no longer interested in it.
