I'll give you no autotune, but "no fancy studio work" dramatically undersells how studios worked in the 80s and 90s before things moved to a mostly digital workflow. Racks upon racks of outboard gear, massive and complex consoles, a dozen different types of mic pres, complicated patch bays; a guy whose only job was to "punch in" during tracking sessions. Multiple assistants and studio employees managing tracking sessions; mix and mastering engineers pre-Pro Tools and Logic Pro? Forget it. Btw, I totally get what you were trying to say here; it's just crazy how far the industry has come. Recordings have much better fidelity and can truly capture the timbre and tonal qualities of every instrument, and yet almost every track is processed so heavily it no longer sounds like the original instrument -- not just autotune for vocals, but drum tracking is almost always done with triggers to replace live drums with midi libraries; guitars are re-amped and never sound like they did through the guitarist's original amp (possibly losing "their tone" in the process). And yet, with all that technology, music has completely lost its soul. Shame.

Aileen, recently I have been going through some serious things forcing me to re-evaluate my life. Watching your reaction to this song took me way back to my teenaged years. I could not hold back the tears remembering how I felt the first time I heard this song. I kind of felt the song was speaking to my younger self….thank you for sharing this experience. ❤️

I love watching first-timers to music like this. I grew up with music like this. The 80's 'Big-Hair Bands'... They taught us that... Sometimes we're happy. Sometimes we're sad. Sometimes we're mad. Sometimes we're right. Sometimes we're wrong. How we feel changes ever five minutes. We aren't perfect, but we can love someone else regardless. That's what makes us beautiful, our beautiful imperfections. I really hope you enjoy this, and get to appreciate other great music from these time periods.

Sebastian was one of the best rock singers of all time. Such power and range. Scotty absolutely KILLED every lead on every song too

34 years later and I Remember You STILL gives me goosebumps…

I was in high school when this came out. It's difficult to describe how huge this song was. All the guys loved Skid Row in general, and all the girls loved this song. It was huge. Got so much radio play everyone started hating it after a while. But it really is a beautiful song. A similar song, if you haven't heard it yet, is Fly to the Angels, by Slaughter. Came out in the same time period.

I was in high school too. I totally agree, Mark Slaughter had a fabulous voice! Jani Lane from Warrant too! “Uncle Toms Cabin” is a great song. Back when singers could sing, before auto tune killed real music!

It's a fantabulous song and album. My personal recommendations for Skid Row would be "Youth Gone Wild" and "18 and Life". Phenomenal songs, and thank you for doing some awesome music from my youth.

I saw them play the year before they became famous. Didn't know who they were, but i knew the singer was great and was gonna go places!🥂🇺🇸

Sebastian Bach really was a treasure. He was way before my time but I grew up with my pops and this is what he listens to still to this day. His voice made me emotional depending on my mood. Very few artists are able to do that.

Yea Sebastian's voice then was nearly unmatched in the industry.

Breathtaking voice and lyrics Sebastián had,underrated band for sure!

Aileen, your reaction to 'I Remember You', is THE BEST on the net... A lot of us can relate to your reaction first time listening to it in the 90s.... 😊

I'm so glad this was the first song from Skid Row you ever listened to. Your subscribers definitely steered you to a masterpiece.

Thank you for mentioning the guitar solo. Drenched with emotion and squealing crying harmonics. It Really brings the heartache home.

One of THE Best vocals!! Sebastion is phenomenal! Great reaction!! Stay Blessed!!

Loved them from their very 1st album. Still have their Youth Gone Wild tee shirt way back from ‘89.

This song came out when I was 17. And this was part of the soundtrack of that era for me. Every time I hear it, it takes me right back to those days. Great reaction! If you haven't already, check out Wasted Time. Easily one of the best vocal performances ever.

Seeing how much you can feel the emotions in that song is amazing

One of the greatest voices of the 80's - Sebastian Bach was incredible!

That acoustic ending was such a sweet and tender way to end that song. You were going through so many emotions through this whole thing 😭

Skid Row is actually a New Jersey band, discovered (or at least promoted) by Jon Bon Jovi. This is their trademark power ballad. “18 and Life” is perhaps their biggest and one of their most powerful songs.

One of my favorite guitar solos of ALL TIME... SUCH RAW EMOTION 🥹😳

In A Darkened Room is a MUST. The guitar tone is amazing, almost mesmerizing. The vocals are impeccable and the lyrics are deep!

Their first album was killer. I highly suggest 18 and Life, Wasted Time and Youth Gone Wild for your next taste of this amazing band.

If you had asked me about watching videos of people reacting to their first time hearing a song I've known for well over 30 years, I'd say you were out of your damned mind...and yet here I am, watching them regularly. It's quite interesting to see others react to a beloved song, kind of as if we were experiencing it as well thru you. I can't tell you why this appeals to me, but dammit, it DOES.

WASTED TIME BY SKID ROW IS A MUST! Seriously if you want to hear how amazing Sebastian's voice really is you have to check that one out! It's kind of a sad song too. It was written about Sebastian's good friend Steven Adler, the original drummer of Gun's n Roses. He got addicted to heroin and his playing got so bad he was fired from Gun's n Roses. In 1996 Steven suffered a stroke after taking a speedball which is a mixture of heroin and cocaine. He was in a coma but survived. He had paralysis on one side of his face and a lisp. He's he's battled with his Addictions ever since but he seems to be doing okay these days. He still plays drums he's been in a couple of bands. And in 2016 he actually got to play a couple of shows with Guns and Roses again. I don't want to give away my age and how old I am. But I saw Skid Row open up for Aerosmith at Nassau Coliseum here on Long Island back in January of 1990. I was 14 years old lol. Then I saw Sebastian Bach in the Broadway show Jekyll and Hyde back in 1997. The man can sing his ass off! But man this song brings me back to my first serious girlfriend when I was a teenager 😂

This whole album kicks ass. . Not one bad song off this great album. . I saw this album tour twice. . Met them too. . Signed my CD 📀. . These guys ROCK live. . HORNS UP. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

Check «Wasted Time» (official)! It’s best vocal of Sebastian Bach

The way you were feeling the music and the way you were hearing his voice and the words was beautiful, amazing and spot on ☺️

Sebastian sounds beautiful like a lonely howling wolf. Every fibre of his heart screaming out very tuned. 50 years here and metalhead 4ever 🤘🤘

Sebastian Bach has one of the most powerful rock voices ever. He is basically the definition of what an 80's hard rock frontman should be like. 🤟😝 Most of the band members are from NJ ... although Bach was born in Jamaica and grew up in Canada. 😉 Thanks for the reaction! Oh, and check out "18 and Life" by them. The video is excellent.

Watching your expressions in deep connection to the music, It seemed kinda an erotical - feeling experience.. isn't it? I love the way you react and let it engaged with this beautiful song!

This song is from my teen years. I tell people, if you haven't had a relationship that you can relate this song to, you haven't had a real love yet. I've always wished I found someone else who also made me feel like this song. Sadly, hasnt happened. Just the one did. (No she wasnt my first love) we're actually still good friends shes now happily married almost 20 years with 4 kids and admits she still misses me sometimes.

ABSOLUTELY NO ONE BRINGS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MUSIC TO ALL YOUR FOLLOWERS THE WAY YOU DO DARLIN OWN IT YOUR A NATURAL 👍

This song was amazing but Wasted Time is in my opinion their greatest song. Heartbreaking and glorious

The beautiful emotions that emanate from you are infectious. I can only imagine the magnitude of the emotions that you feel but don't visually express. I remember buying this album when it came out in 1989. Keep exploring, Aileen...there's much more!

People can chose to change, nobody can force you to change. I hope those people on skid row find the will power to change and seek the help they need.

Of all the experts analyzing Skid Row, voice and music, you are undoubtedly the best.

This song makes me absolutely bawl tears. My cousin, whom I idolized, was a heavy metal guitarist in a band. He played this song for me on his IPOD and said it was perfection. He died from complications of herion use a month later. This song reminds me of him. 😢😢❤

I LOVE SB. Definitely one of the most amazing lives in Rock. Period.

That is Scotti Hill, he wrote the solo...to this day he cannot believe people love his solo 30 years later...he did a video on his YT page because young guitar players want to learn it. I saw them live several times back then...The 91 tour was amazing.

Sebastian Bach had the most powerful and soulful vibrato. I heard from a good source that the producer pushed him so hard during the recording of this album, where Sebastian kept running out of the studio crying because he was pushed to his limits. I watched a few of your videos and this one made me subscribe. I shared your emotions while you were listening. I’m a touring sound engineer btw -Navajo Nate AZ-

Skid Row blew my mind in 1989 my senior year in high school. Its good to see they are still blowing peoples minds all these years later.

Great song and Sebastian's voice is awesome,so much so that he sang on Broadway

Skid Row's album self titled Skid Row was so good, oh my it was good.

This is one of the most emotional songs I've ever heard. Takes me back to my young days. And the guitar solo is perfect.
