Dave “Snake” Sabo recently guested on Eddie Trunk’s “Trunk Nation” and discussed Skid Row’s failed reunion with Sebastian Bach. According to him, it didn’t work out due to the same things that “tore [them] apart years ago.”

Sabo said the following [transcribed by Blabbermouth]:
“There was definitely dialogue that was going back and forth and there was talk. I think everybody was entertaining the idea. And I think, really, what it ended up being was we realized that whatever it was that tore us apart years ago still existed.”
He also added:
“We got offered a lot of money. There was a lot of stuff that’s been said about what happened and tours being booked… That didn’t happen — tours were not booked. Any offers that came in came through to me and Rachel, ’cause it’s our band. So there was a good amount of money being offered. And then with the dialog that went back and forth, it got ugly again.”
He went to say money had nothing to do with the decision:
“It was more about control, I think. Other people having a desire to have more control over this thing than we were willing to give. And it was not about anything other than this is our band. This is not ego-driven, I promise you. It wasn’t about me making more money than you, or you making more … it wasn’t about that at all. I guess it was the personality conflicts that existed before, 20 years ago [are still there].”
Sabo also said the following when Trunk talked about bands like Mötley Crüe that made touring work while using separate buses to avoid each other:
“Yeah, but they were miserable — they were all miserable. I guess I look at it differently. I really like my life, man. I really like being happy. I have great joy playing Skid Row music now. Not to say that I didn’t before, but in this moment in time, I’m extremely happy. My life is awesome, my friends are awesome, the people I make music and jam with, they’re all awesome. And so, I’ve gotta say, yeah, the idea, the romantic notion of a reunion and the monetary aspect of it is all well and good, but at the end of the day, man, I really enjoy the space that I’m in. I just wanna be a good guy, I wanna be a good husband, a good father, a good friend, a good brother. The way that we existed towards the end, after Subhuman Race and when everything fell apart, it was misery for everybody — not just me; for everybody.”
He did say that he will “never say never,” but the chances are still “slim to none.” Despite this, he doesn’t mind Bach playing Skid Row music with his solo band:
“We had nine or ten years of history together that were pretty phenomenal from a success standpoint,” said the guitarist. “And we had a lot of good times — we did — but unfortunately, the bad times outweighed the good times and that’s why the band stopped in that form. But as far as going out there and doing Skid Row songs, he has every right to. He sang ’em. I’m honored, to be honest with you. Some people might look at it differently, but it doesn’t bother me. It helps keep our history alive. I’m cool with that.”
As far as the band’s current vocalist, former Dragonforce singer ZP Theart, Sabo said he is a “really easy fit” and that “he’s an excellent person — a really good guy.” He went on to say Theart “wanted to get in the trenches, he wants to work, and he respects the history of the band.”
