During a new interview with Radio Forrest podcast, Skid Row co-founder / bassist Rachel Bolan reflected on the band's love of KISS and having supported the band on both of their farewell tours.
Bolan: "It's pretty crazy. The last couple shows we did with KISS over in Europe this year, I menrtiuoned that to Paul (Stanley): 'Do you know we're the only band that has played both your farewell tours?' To play in front of KISS, to be the huge KISS fans we were... that was the common ground, especially for Snake (Dave Sabo / guitar), Scotti (Hill / guitar) and myself. When we were watching them in Germany before we had to fly home, I turned to Snake and said 'This might be the last time we ever see this band' because we were going to be touring on their last run through the States. I can't even explain the gravity of that. It's gonna be an odd world without KISS in it, man."
