Skid Row bassist Rachel Bolan was asked to address L.A. Guns guitarist Tracii Guns’ recent remark that Bolan and his bandmates are leaving “millions of dollars on the table” by declining to reunite with singer Sebastian Bach during an appearance on the most recent episode of “The Candid Mic With Fran Strine” podcast.
It’s a bummer because I thought Tracii was a bud. Really funny because everyone thinks that they’re an accountant — they think they’re an accountant, promoters. Everyone thinks that they know how much is coming in. We approached at one point, and obviously it imploded very quickly. There’s not millions of dollars out there. I mean, as Skid Row, we’re making really good money. It wasn’t much more. But, yeah, I saw and I’m just, like, ‘Why doesn’t Tracii just stay in his own yard?’ You know what I mean? … It’s funny hearing him — because other people shout out numbers too; they’re, like, ‘They can make this and that and the other thing.’ It’s, like, one, no — we can’t. That’s totally false. And two, quality of life, motherfuckers. You wanna be happy. You wanna be happy doing what you’re doing. And I’m not here to talk shit about anybody. Everyone — there’s that career and there’s my career. Tracii has his own career. He should worry about that and not about Skid Row.
