Many thanks for posting this, and that photo is wonderful to see too.

Such an interesting piece of rock history this.

Skid Row were an extraordinary band.

Further to New Faces Old Places; the pic shows [L-R] Phil Lynott, Brush, Gary Moore & Robbie Brennan. Sweeneys Men were also on the recording, Johnny Moynihan on tin whistle, which was engineerewd by Bill Sommerville-Large & produced by him, Brush & Donal Lunny. I saw photos of the session with Moore playing a sitar [??] & Terry Woods on guitar but I can't say for sure if they are in the mix. Brush definitely played acoustic 12-string. On Song, #001, my copy was wonky, wobbling on the last chord

i saw skid row at the old club noreik in seven sisters road,tottenham in i think 69-70,...their hair was so long u couldnt see the tops of their bodies...about 50 wooden chairs were laid out,half full in the old hall...i just remember it being a very loud noise....we stayed cos it was raining outside...true

I remember reading in the British music press that Brendan ( Brush) simply agreed to let the American Skid Row keep the name, out of the goodness of his heart , as the original Irish Skid Row had stopped performing years before due to Gary leaving the band to go solo.

I saw them supporting Slade in Leeds in 72, by which time a young Rory Gallagher (or Pete Frampton) was on lead guitar.

Thanks for the info i got that info on wiki but that site is dogey and not all ways right. it does make alot more sense that brush gave the name away then gary selling it.ill take that info down now thanks for letting me now

[michaelstmark]

okay TLF, it is LEGIT info from me I am an original Irish Skid Row dedicated fan from Jon Peel daze.

Anything else you need to know let me know, cheers brother.

There's an interview with Sebastian Bach from the other Skid Row where he says Gary Moore heard they were recording their first album and told them they'd have to pay him $35,000 to use the name. Bach was very sure this had happened - maybe Moore was just trying his luck without actually owning the rights to the name? (I posted a new link to the interview on the wiki page)

[dirmo77]

@MagicMankysBack Brush Shiels son is on my Facebook he told me that Bach robbed the name that if the original Skid Row reuniyed they had every right to call it that.And the Skid Row now would not be able to do anything

[dirmo77]

And he also said no money exchanged hands that was rubbish

[michaelstmark]

Didn't realize the original Skid Row was Gary's band in order for him to sell the name. I assumed Brendan and Nolaig were the founders and Gary joined later - he was only 17 at the time.

[AustinStacColl]

The first Skid Row was Brush, Phil Lynott, Robbie Brennan & Benny Cheevers on guitar. He played a Gibson 335, sunburst finish, red I think [black & white telly then]. Brush formed Skid Row after departing The Uptown Band in what legend says was an acrimonious parting. Gary Moored joined later. The New Faces Old Places was on Song Records [#001], recorded in Trend, off baggit St.], had Johnny Moynihan in whistle & Donal Lunny was in on the production. My copy was a wonky pressing, hole off-centre

[Kirok]

Priceless.

[maudpurple]

Fantastic that this old stuff exists - really wonderful to hear. I love everything I have ever heard of Phil Lynott recordings

[Mickeslina]

Basic, primitive and a slight touch of amateurism, but nevertheless it sends shivers down my spine while hearing this. So good and so much talent in one band.

Thanx for posting this!
