During a recent interview with Laughingmonkeymusic, former Skid Row drummer Rob Affuso claimed that the band’s classic lineup almost reunited at one point. According to him, it was “very close” to happening.
Affuso said the following:
“There almost was a SKID ROW reunion. It was very close, actually. We all had our calendars blocked off and a summer scheduled, and there were dates being put out there, and it was really disappointing when it blew up. I think the reasons why it blew up are really stupid. I think they could have been avoided and not… I think things could have been fixed and changed and worked through. But here we are. That was about five or six years ago.”
He continued when asked why it has been so difficult to organize a reunion:
“Some of the guys there just really don’t want it to be. So that’s their right.”
He then went on to say that he is “the only former member that keeps in contact with all former SKID ROW bandmates and is still good friends with them all.” He also added:
“I really, really was hoping and trying for years to make that all happen, and I feel like part of me, in hoping that would all happen, sort of lost a part of my life, not being present in my life and not enjoying my current life because I was looking in the past and looking forward and hoping that I could bring the past back and was missing things in my own life because I was too worried about hoping that would happen. And I think after failure of the last attempt, the only attempt, I just said, ‘This is taking too much of a toll on me. I have to enjoy life. I have to do what I love. And I have no control over this and just do what I do and have fun. And if this ever comes around and comes together, then I’m gonna be there all in a thousand percent, but for now I have to love my own life and love myself and move forward thinking like that.’ And hopefully it will, but I can’t look back and I can’t look forward anymore.”
