Skid Row (530 words)
Skid Row was one of the last hair metal bands to hit the mainstream before grunge took over in the early '90s.
Skid Row was formed in 1986 by bassist Rachel Bolan and former Bon Jovi guitarist Dave "the Snake" Sabo.
Nonetheless, Skid Row retained a devoted audience -- 1991's Slave to the Grind debuted at number one on the Billboard Charts, an unprecedented accomplishment for a metal band.
