Sebastian has a voice of a rock god!!
Skid row is where it's at
I will always love Skid Row!!!
I miss them :(
Omg...I sooo had a crush on Sebastian growing up!! Hot daaayyyuuumm m . . . L O L ❌ ⭕ ❌ ⭕
Love this song!!!
I love This song!!!!!
This happened to my bro
Aah the memories!
Walked the streets a soldier and he fought the world alone.....be s t line ever.
I love this song
Bon Jovi found 'em and they burst on the scene with Youth Gone Wild. But it was 18 and Life that demonstrated their musical prowess and Sebastians vocal range. Great production and engineering gets the best out of this talented group.
This freaking song is so bad a**!!!!!! Favorite song by Skid Row!!
Follow me please :)
CLASSIC ROCK!
This Sonqs Been Stuck In My Head For Ever! But Its Sooo BADASS!!
Nice pop rock, but it didn't let me accept their follow-up disc, Slave to the Grind, where they suddenly went all Pantera!
People who don't shoot babies make me sick.
... that child blew a child away... it wasn't necessarily a baby sir ball...
Ricky is a butthole, even in the '90s it was not cool to shoot babies, even on accident. I love awkward punctuation, by the, way.
mmmm loves this song
Reminds me of my girl friend at the time this song came out. I won't forget Dawn because of this song.
great band. i seen them with bon jovi at the scope in norfolk, virgina.
Bach has a great "rock" voice ......
I MISS THE 80'S THINGS WERE DIFFERENT
This SONG ROCKS!! I know, I lived through the80's "hair band" era.... CLASSIC!!
Decent enough
This is one of the greatest bands of all time!!!!
i had more but it was cut off, something about the sadness of scrapping toward neutral on the sad to happy scale... and more importantly, please share with us any of your legitimate experience(s ) that allow happiness to be more than fleeting and gossamer
i like rap, esp. late 80s and early 90s, as well as skid row, esp. youth gone wild. they are not mutually exclusive, each tell a story and someone like me who craves stories that relate to my past or to my misguided "aspirations " both "genres" offer so much to me that I implore those who demand one over the other to listen and find more meaning in the songs and in your life and potentially a small glance into happiness, which is as little as i have ever found and may be the best we can do. along
So dramatic, but so good.

18 AND LIFE KICKS A**
F**K YEA
18 and life FTW
One of hair metal's ten greatest songs ever and definitely the greatest song by Skid Row! Skid Row kicks a** (even though they'll never be complete, the same, or even as good a band w/o Sebastien Bach's musical genius to lead their crusade)!!
one of the best skid row songs ever! at least i do. if youd rather listen to rap, then ura a f*g! (no offense, queers)
chetwynd1
Kick a5s!
Sebastian Bach loves toy trains....ha h a h a (Trailer Park Boys ref.)
Bigz85020 YOU CAN LICK AND KISS MY A**
SKID ROW F**KING ROCKS
Bigz85020, What does that have to do with anything? It is a great song, just let it be.
How does this song have political lyrics? Is the slightest allusion to the criminal justice system political? This song is about Ricky. Now Civil War by GNR is political.
Great song from Skid Row.
One of my Skid Row favorits.
Sebastian is one of the best and most underated vocalist in rock n roll!
