We’re getting closer to 100th week, and I’d like to refresh the next song by Skid Row after ’18 And Life’ song, that comes from their debut album.
With dedication to …
Before I start to write this post, I’d like to recommend a radio show that was founded almost 2 months ago and highlights glam metal songs. It’s called ‘Jungle‘ and aired every Monday, here is their Facebook fan page.
And now, as I promised to Weronika Szatan (she organizes rock festival in Kraków), I’d like to kindly pronounce that:
“Z Szatanem współpracuje mi się fenomenalnie”
For those who don’t speak Polish, 
it means not exactly:
Cooperation with the Szatan is phenomenal
I couldn’t decide which song will suit better to this announcements. I hesitated between ‘
Lucidity‘ by Queensryche (which is for certain more optimistic track) and a few of Skid Row songs.
Anyway, let’s get back to the topic, 
When?
‘Piece Of Me‘ like the ‘18 and Life‘ comes from Skid Row’s eponymous debut album, released in 1989 – 3 years after the band was formed. It’s their most successful album and thanks to songs that were placed there, they became famous.
Skid Row - Skid Row (1989)
Who (Skid Row album)?
- Sebastian Bach – vocals
- Scotti Hill – lead and rhythm guitar
- Dave “The Snake” Sabo – rhythm and lead guitar, backing vocals
- Rachel Bolan – bass guitar and backing vocals
- Rob Affuso – drums, percussion
‘Piece Of Me’ popularity
Looking more closely, this song wasn’t charted, contrary to signles from this album. But the whole album peaked very high on Billboard 200 (#6). What’s more interesting, during singing this song a ‘Bottle Incident‘ happened. 12
In what is referred to as “The Bottle Incident” by fans of the band, Bach was hit with a bottle thrown onstage from the crowd at a concert in Springfield, Massachusetts, where Skid Row was opening for Aerosmith on December 27, 1989. Bach threw the bottle back, hitting a girl (not the thrower), so he jumped on the crowd to beat the person who can be seen on a tour video released by Skid Row called Oh Say Can You Scream in 1990.
