Rachel Bolan and Dave Sabo recently spoke with Chris Akin and reacted to the song released by Erik Grönwall.
Grönwall released the song, claiming it was meant to be part of a Skid Row album. However, both current band members were surprised. “That’s creative wording, that’s for sure,” Bolan said about Grönwall’s statement.
“That’s news to us. I guess we would have to play on it for to be on a Skid Row record,” Sabo said, suggesting he had never heard of it. Bolan added, “I saw the post and I was like, ‘Huh, okay.’ I was as confused as everyone else.”
Grönwall, the former frontman, shared the unreleased song with his fans over a month ago. “In August 2022, my producer Jona Tee and I wrote three potential songs for a new Skid Row album while I was still in the band. Although I don’t think this particular song would have made it onto the album, and since that album definitely won’t happen, I thought it might be fun to share this demo with you all instead,” he said in an Instagram post.
“Please note that this is a demo Jona and I produced and no Skid Row members are playing on this demo. A special thanks to all the fans who helped me put this video together. Full version on YT,” he added.
Skid Row parted ways with Erik Grönwall in March 2024 after completing their postponed shows due to his health issues. Grönwall later explained his decision in a Facebook post. “Yes, I have decided to leave Skid Row. The main reason being that it’s proved difficult to prioritize my health and full recovery as the lead singer of the band,” he shared.
Grönwall performed for the first time after his departure at a concert on May 23 in Stockholm, Sweden, at Gröna Lund.
