SKID ROW Co-Founder Doesn’t Understand How American Group Ended Up Using His Band’s Name

Brendan “Brush” Shiels, founding member of the late 1960s/early 1970s Irish blues-rock act SKID ROW — which is best known as legendary guitarist Gary Moore‘s first professional band — has posted a YouTube video in which he accuses the American rock group SKID ROW of using the band name without his permission. He also discusses how he believes the story that Moore received a $35,000 payoff by the American band for the use of the name is nonsense and reveals that he has unsuccessfully tried to contact Jon Bon Jovi (with whom the Sebastian Bach-fronted SKID ROW reportedly signed a publishing deal prior to releasing its first album) and Doc McGhee, early manager of the the American SKID ROW, to resolve the SKID ROW name issue once and for all. Shiels also talks about his ex-SKID ROW bandmates, the late Phil Lynott and Gary Moore.

Shiels‘ video message can be seen below. Also available is a separate YouTube clip containing a track from Brush‘s new SKID ROW album. Source: Blabbermouth.net

Bach’s Skid Row belong to its name which comes from ‘la strada’,i understood the copyright was accepted by Moore.

Metal core asked vampy songstress and deposed princess,Nymphaea Lavina to share her thoughts on Skid Row and Shiels unusual offer to Baz,here are her words,.”To recapitulate the Skid Row break up,in my opinion of Bachs former band not to of agreed to open for Kiss,is unforgivable,that band means something to Sebastian,and i remember him talking to me about this in beverly hills one night,then you know,all of a sudden he himself, was no longer in his own rightfull band so everything seemed indecorous,+pretty hard slung somehow. Though his solo band are meritorious,enticing one to want to crank the volume up to+for both heaven and hell, Sebastian should at least ponder the notion of conversing in an open conversation with ‘Brush’for a possible navigation merger,or present band collaboration.Sebastian Bach/Skid Row are synonomous,his TALISMANIC BANNER,and i do wish him to stand again before his SEAL with his indomitable presence.
