”I have decided to leave SKID ROW to pursue my solo career. The past 15 years has been a great experience and I have appreciated the opportunity to be the lead singer in one of the most prominent bands of the 1990s and share stages with the likes of AEROSMITH, BON JOVI and KISS, performing in front of millions throughout the world. I wish SKID ROW the best of luck in their future pursuits.”
Skid Row:n basisti Rachel Bolan sekä kitaristi Dave ”The Snake” Sabo ovat kommentoineet vokalistin vaihtoa seuraavasti hiljattain Eddie Trunk Livelle antamassaan haastattelussa:
”[SKID ROW bassist Rachel Bolan and I] have known Tony for a really, really long time, and always have admired him as a singer and as a front guy. He’s a really good guy.”
”I think we all found ourselves kind of in a crossroads, so to speak — at kind of like a… pretty much much serendipitous moment in our lives. And so the thought was in the back of our heads that, ’You know what?! Maybe we should reach out to him.'”

”Like Snake said, we’ve been friends with Tony for a long time. And one year, a while ago, we had dinner together. At Christmas, I went up to see the folks in New Jersey, and I went to New York. And Tony and a few other friends, we all had dinner, and we just started talking. And we just… [It was] mutual admiration society. And then, when it came into our mind that we were gonna make a switch, we spoke about Tony, because he just seemed like such a natural fit. And we got in touch with him. He was way into it, [and] we were way into it. We got together [and] we played some songs. It sounded great. We just did some recording together, and it’s just… It’s, like, wow! This is swesome. It just sounds so natural of a fit. And we’re happy. We’re very happy. We’re happy to have him onboard.”
