Post Description

Skid Row was a Dublin based blues rock band of the late 1960s and early 1970s, fronted 
by Brendan "Brush" Shiels. It was guitarist Gary Moore's first professional band.
Skid Row began to coalesce in Dublin, Ireland in October 1967, around vocalist Philip Lynott,
bassist Brendan "Brush" Shiels, drummer Noel Bridgeman, and guitarist Bernard Cheevers, 
who would be replaced the following January by a 16-year-old prodigy hailing from Belfast, 
north of the border, named Gary Moore. The quartet threw itself into playing pubs and 
working men's clubs so as to develop their chops and repertoire, eventually recording a 
1969 single for Irish label Songs Records entitled "New Places, Old Faces." But when power 
trios were suddenly established as the most desirable rock band formation of the era by 
the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Cream, and Éire's own Taste (helmed by budding six-string 
legend Rory Gallagher), Lynott found himself the odd man out of Skid Row, and forced to 
seek his fame elsewhere, eventually finding great fame as frontman for Thin Lizzy. In his 
absence, Shiels took over lead vocals and a newly more marketable Skid Row quickly 
parlayed a few support gigs with Fleetwood Mac into a record deal with CBS Records, 
thanks largely to Mac main man Peter Green's recommendation.
