Skid Row took several months to verify that its new lineup could work as a lasting team before making the arrangement official, according to Justin Sargent. He discussed the band’s measured approach in an interview posted on Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk.

Sargent explained that the band wanted to ensure all members could work together effectively and that the initial chemistry would hold. The band made no quick decisions about the new lineup.
“It’s been a couple of months,” Sargent said. “And what was a really great tactic that these gentlemen used here — we spent a lot of time getting to know each other before things became official.”
“Nothing was rushed into. We wanted to make sure that it was a good fit, that we could all be in a room together and hang and have a great rapport.”
The drummer added that the early sessions showed real promise. “And interestingly enough, from day one it just felt solid. And so it was really important for everybody to make sure that that day wasn’t just an anomaly and that this could be something that is gonna be lasting. And, like I said, the last couple months have been proof that that is certainly the case.”
