Skid Row - Under the Skin - Making of Thickskin

I really liked the DVD. Wish there were more DVD's like this one. I just have 1 problem with it. Being the Scotti fan that I am I was interested in seeing his photo gallery and found it very disappointing. It was not as long as the others and it was blank for a few minutes and then it shows him vacuuming naked for like 2 seconds. Is there something wrong with my DVD or is that the way it is suppose to be?

Cool behind the scenes look at the making of the Thickskin cd

I thought there would be live concert footage but no it doesn't. bummer!

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the "Making Of Thick Skin" DVD.I bought the new Skid Row CD "thickskin" on Amazon just after its release, and on a whim picked up the "making of" DVD as well.Skid Row has made the best out of reintroducing themselves to their hardcore fans on this DVD (who've been without new material since 1995; a very, very long 8 years).While their first video offering "Oh Say Can You Scream!" (which I also own) gave you life w/ Skid Row on tour, this new DVD is like Skid Row reality TV. We see the band -- sickly dyed hair, grey sweatpants, and all -- making their new album in Snake's home studio.Every track on the new album is given some spotlight. Scotti Hill's insights into particular riffs are actually quite interesting. I never realized how much influence surf music had on his playing. Listen to the opening lead of 'Riot Act', or the twang on the remake 'I Remember You Two' and you too will understand.The material on this DVD is done in documentary fashion, but every bit as professional as, say, KISS "Second Coming" (although the cover design for both CD and DVD look a bit too amateurish for my liking. Would it have killed them to hire a professional?)New mates Johnny Solinger (vocals, and blonde, tall Texan) and Phil Varone (drums, and resident frat boy) have given this band a new life, and a good, hard kick in the [pants].I wouldn't dare suggest that Sebastian Bach -- one of the greatest lead vocalists of his generation -- could ever be replaced... but forgotten? Listening to Johnny Solinger belt his way thru the first verse/chorus of "Quicksand Jesus" in one of the many live clips on this DVD, and, dude, close your eyes, and all is good on the 'Skids.Phil Varone is a riot on camera, and you've gotta love his pedigree: hearing him gush about how Bon Jovi's Tico Torres is one of the best rock drummers of all time (and then watching him "borrow" one of Tico's drums at Jovi's home studio) is priceless. But guys, next album, let's find him a decent studio to work in <g>This is all to say the new guys are fitting in quite nicely, thank you very much, and it seems like the near 15-year legacy of Skid Row wasn't all wasted time.Looking forward to catching their live show in Bangor, ME USA this October '03 (which will be my first time ever seeing this band in concert).

I was never a big Skid Row fan back in the day, but I REALLY dig the new album "ThickSkin." I've read all kinds of reviews of it--some share my opinion and others think that the only true Skid Row is one fronted by Sebastian Bach.If you like the CD, you'll probably get a kick out of the "making of" DVD. There's tons of "in the studio" footage, interviews with each member of the band, and a load of behind the scenes sort of stuff. (Not surprisingly, there's not a single mention of Bach at all.) Considering that the album and DVD are both on SR's own label, it's remarkably high-quality. I didn't expect such a pro job. If you ever saw Aerosmith's "The Making of Pump," it's kind of like that.Like I said before, if you really like the new CD, pick this up and check it out. If you didn't like the CD, why are you even reading this????

I thought it was awesome to see the completion of the debut album with Johnny.

大まかに言ってタイトル通り新生ＳＫＩＤＲＯＷの復活第一弾アルバム「Thickskin」の製作模様ＤＶＤ。しかし、それだけではなく、間間にちょこちょことスタジオライブ映像を挟んだり、クラブでのＬＩＶＥ映像やら、いろいろと新生ＳＫＩＤＲＯＷが見れてとても面白いです。また、現メンバー同士がいかに楽しく和気藹々とやっているのか見れてファンとしてはとても嬉しい代物です。レイチャル、スネイク、スコッティはやはり年とっていますが、大人の色気がでて更にカッコよいロックスターになってます。スネイクなんて映像に出てくるたびに髪の色違うし！笑また、ボーナス映像ではスネイク、スコッティはＬＩＶＥでのソロ映像、レイチェルはモータースポーツ、フィルはドラム1曲丸丸のピン映像、ジョニーはお料理レクチャー、スコッティのフォトギャラリーなどなど新生ＳＫＩＤＲＯＷを余すところ無く笑いなどを盛り込みながら大満足の1枚です。値段も安いし、ファンは買いだと思います。
