Lzzy Hale and Joe Hottinger of Halestorm discussed her experience leading Skid Row for four shows in May and June 2024 after Erik Grönwall, a “Swedish Idol” contestant and the group’s fourth frontman since Sebastian Bach‘s departure, left to concentrate on his health during their June 14 “unplugged” performance at the Garage in Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom, as per Blabbermouth. She shared this information with the audience about playing with Skid Row before Lzzy and Joe began a rendition of “I Remember You” by Skid Row.

It was awesome. It was so great. I got to live out my teenage fantasy. I was a weird kid in the ’90s. I was listening to Skid Row and Alice Cooperand Dio. Yeah, those other girls were not having it. My friends were, like, ‘Alice Cooper, who is she?’ But anyway, so the boys [in Skid Row] asked me to join their band. They were having some in-between dates going on. And it was such a wonderful thing, ’cause we had all of these Halestorm fans coming and they would bring in their dads. So it was like a dad-son, dad-daughter date happening, going on, and it was just awesome.

Lzzy made reference to the persistent animosity between Sebastian and a few other members of the iconic Skid Row lineup.

 know there’s some stuff… I didn’t get any of the real scoop between what’s happening with the Sebastian versus the rest of the guys. I know Sebastian very well. He’s always been sweet to me. And the best was, after it all went down, I got to talk to Dimebag Darrell’s wife [Rita Haney]. And she’s, like, ‘Hey, we were up all night with Sebastian watching those Skid Row videos of you singing with them.’ I’m, like, ‘Uh-oh. What’d he say?’ And apparently, he looks at Rita and he’s, like, ‘Man, I hate those guys, but she’s fucking awesome.’ I’m, like, ‘Okay, good.’

Returning to performing with Skid Row, Lzzy added this.

No, it’s fantastic. It’s so weird to have watched all these music videos back when music videos were a thing… And then just to actually be up there and singing these songs. These songs were meant for singers. They’re amazing. And we wanna do one of them for you right now.
