skid row < 3

I'm on a youtube frenzy but this strikes a whole different chord. no goofy chipmunks here. Just pure admiration and love. SKID EFFIN ROW.  Now I know everyone is like "oooooh, I love monster ballads soooo much!"  but in reality the only one they've ever heard is every rose has it's thorn (what what bret michaels).  I legit grew up on this stuff because my dad has been a world class badass since day one.  My entire childhood is listening to 107.3 WAAF out of Worc, MA and head banging to megadeath and metallica and the scorpions and cinderella and whitesnake and deep purple and tesla..... the list could go on and on.  That's undoubtedly why to this day I am a slave to brutal metal.  But when metal used to be romantic? sigh.

Anyway, here's my favorite jam. And believe you me, if someone kicked me hard in the vagina and I could hit the notes like Sebastian Bach, I'd be belting this song out hard at karaoke.  You can and should watch the entire thing just so that you'll be singing this song for the next 5 days, but if not, I have selected a few choice moments for you to focus on.



2:36 in.  The way that he says "Promise that we Mayyy-eeee-aaaade" makes me close my eyes and scrunch my face and make my metal face, all while reaching for my leather pants. And then 4:23.... and actually anything after 4:23 too.  They just rip into it so hard.  This makes me want to remember YOU. yes, you.
