Skid Row - Rachel Bolan

On the most recent episode of Talkin' Rock with Meltdown, Rachel Bolan of Skid Row talked about bringing another new singer into the fold.

"This time was different, though," Bolan says. "His (Eric Gronwell) ability, just the way he does things. And his work ethic is one I've never seen, other than the four of us that are already in the band. He just doesn't stop until he gets things absolutely right."

Rachel said it was obvious why Gronwell had so much success overseas, where he won their version of "Idol." He went on to say "He's a really, really hard-working singer, who takes care of his instrument and takes pride in his craft."

The new Skid Row album, "The Gang's All Here," comes out in October. Listen or watch the complete interview below!
