The band name was bought for $35,000 from renowned blues-rock guitarist Gary Moore in 1987. Brendan "Brush" Shiels, frontman of the original Skid Row has said that he has always been unhappy at the group "stealing their name". |
Sometime during the early 1990s, a fan threw a t-shirt onstage and lead singer Sebastian Bach put it on without first reading its anti-gay slogan "AIDS: Kills Fags Dead".
Bach later stated in an apology "My grandmother had recently died of cancer, I guess I would be pissed too if I saw someone wearing a "CANCER Kills Grandmothers Dead" shirt". After some more time passed, he apologized seriously for wearing the shirt and made a substantial donation to an AIDS charity. |
