“Thick is the Skin” by Skid Row appears on 1 radio countdown from 1 station in 2002. It was first released in 2003 on the album Thickskin. Its best result is #92 on the KNAC Top 105 Songs of 2002. In the combined RockLists rankings it is the #160 hard rock song of 2002.
"Thick is the Skin" comes from Thickskin, the comeback album Skid Row released on August 5, 2003, and the first one they made without their original singer, Sebastian Bach. Johnny Solinger takes the lead vocal on a song written by bassist Rachel Bolan and guitarist Dave "The Snake" Sabo, with Scotti Hill on the other guitar and Phil Varone, formerly of Saigon Kick, on drums; Thickskin is the only album he made with them.
The band produced it with Steve Haigler, and Joe DeMaio engineered alongside him and mixed it. Thickskin was the record where Skid Row went after a more modern sound, and this was one of the songs they pushed: it went out as a promo single with a video of its own, which ended up on Under the Skin, the DVD about the making of the album.
