Rachel Bolan - Gargoyle Of The Skid Row State

Rachel Bolan returns to talk about his first-ever solo album, “Gargoyle Of The Garden State,” why now was finally the right time to make it, and how producer Nick Raskulinecz helped bring the project to life. Rachel breaks down the all-star guest lineup featuring Corey Taylor, Nuno Bettencourt, Damon Johnson, Danko Jones, and his Skid Row bandmates Snake Sabo, Scotti Hill, and Rob Hammersmith. He shares stories behind songs like "Big Stick," "Jet Black Universe," and his punked-up cover of Oasis' "Rock 'N' Roll Star." He also reveals the latest on Skid Row's worldwide search for a new singer, what they're really looking for, how hundreds of auditions have already been narrowed down, and what it takes to front one of rock's biggest bands. Plus, stories about taking Pantera out in the ‘90s before they broke big, touring with KISS, Aerosmith and Bon Jovi, bringing Johnny Solinger into Skid Row, the making of the legendary Road Kill home video, working with Bob Rock and Michael Wagener, and playing bass for Stone Sour!
