Bolan and Sabo recruited guitarist Scotti Hill, drummer Rob Affuso, and vocalist Matt Fallon and christened the new band Skid Row.
Fallon was replaced by Sebastian Bach in 1987 and the band began playing shows in clubs throughout the eastern United States.
With some help from childhood friend Jon Bon Jovi, Sabo was instrumental in securing a record deal for Skid Row with Atlantic.
In 1989, the band released their debut album, Skid Row, which was an instant success.
The record went multi-platinum and produced the hit singles "18 and Life", "I Remember You" and "Youth Gone Wild".
Skid Row turned in a heavier direction on their double-platinum follow-up, the 1991 album "Slave To The Grind".
