I was a little late to the Skid Row party of 1989/1990. I saw a couple music videos on MTV, and I was conflicted because I was going through changes in my musical palette at the time. It was a strange melange of hair metal (Poison, Cinderella), grassroots hard rock (Guns N' Roses, Faster Pussycat!), and the surge of grunge (Nirvana, Pearl Jam). I flipped a coin to decide between Skid Row and Mr. Big in 1990. I picked up the Skid Row tape. It turned I wasn't the one who wanted to be with Mr. Big.
