In part two of our Skid Row deep dive, we follow the band through the aftermath of Slave to the Grind, the cultural shift brought on by grunge, the troubled Subhuman Race era, and the breakup that ended the Sebastian Bach chapter.

Nova and Dorian trace the band's tours with Pantera and Soundgarden, the Bon Jovi tension, the infamous KISS answering machine incident, and the years that followed as Skid Row cycled through multiple singers while trying to protect one of hard rock's most recognizable legacies.

We also look at Sebastian Bach's solo and Broadway career, the Johnny Solinger era, Erik Grönwall's promising but brief run, and the unusual Sweetwater audition process that now defines Skid Row's latest chapter.

This is a story about success, collapse, reinvention, and a band whose ending still has not fully been written.

Part two of the Skid Row story covers the post-Slave to the Grind years, Sebastian Bach's exit, the frontman carousel, and the band's ongoing search for its future.
