In a recent chat with Canada’s The Metal Voice, Skid Row’s Dave ”Snake” Sabo said that it was “a really difficult decision” to part ways with singer ZP Theart.
Here’s what he said:
“That decision wasn’t difficult from a standpoint of [Erik‘s] talent, because that absolutely speaks for itself. It was just we had gotten to a crossroads where we were done with most of the [new Skid Row] record. I think we had maybe three vocal tracks on the record, but most of the music was done if not all. And we just realized that we needed to make a change.
”And it was a harsh realization. There were no arguments or anything like that with ZP; there was no animosity. I think that we both, and when I say ‘we’, I mean ZP over here and myself, Rachel [Bolan], Scotti [Hill], and Rob [Hammersmith] over here, we kind of just knew that the two sides were going in separate directions, to be quite honest.”
