==Promotion and touring==
The 17-month worldwide tour included an appearance at [[Moscow Music Peace Festival]] in August 1989 to a crowd of 70,000. The event was organized by McGhee as a penance for drug smuggling and featured artists managed by him or his brother. Skid Row made its UK debut at the [[Milton Keynes Bowl]] supporting Bon Jovi, and headlined London's [[Hammersmith Odeon]] two months later.<ref>{{cite journal|last=Bon Jovi|first=Jon|title=Let Freed|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=EFy_OzhWq-EC&q=skid+row+moscow+bon+jovi&pg=PA115|journal=[[Spin (magazine)|Spin]]|page=56|date=November 1989|access-date=June 9, 2016}}</ref> After finishing the tour in support of Bon Jovi's ''[[New Jersey (album)|New Jersey]]'' album, Skid Row opened on [[Aerosmith]]'s [[Pump Tour]], which launched in October 1989 and lasted a year. At the concert in [[Springfield, Massachusetts]] in December, a fan threw a bottle onstage during Skid Row's set. Upset, Bach threw the bottle back into the crowd and hit a 17-year-old female fan in the face. The incident was filmed by a fan and Bach was arrested after the show. He was set free on $10,000 bail and received three years of probation.<ref>{{cite web|last=Catlin|first=Roger|title=Bach: Put A Cork On Bottle Incident|url=https://www.courant.com/1999/12/02/bach-put-a-cork-on-bottle-incident/|work=[[Hartford Courant]]|date=December 2, 1999|access-date=June 8, 2016}}</ref> At another show in 1990, Bach wore a T-shirt with the [[Anti-LGBT rhetoric|anti-gay slogan]] "[[HIV/AIDS|AIDS]] Kills Fags Dead". Bach said he put the T-shirt on after a fan threw it onstage, but later regretted the incident, saying he does not support [[homophobia]].<ref>{{cite web|last=Goldstein|first=Patrick|title=Skid Row's Sebastian Bach Embroiled in AIDS Row|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1990-01-21-ca-727-story.html|work=[[Los Angeles Times]]|date=January 21, 1990|access-date=June 8, 2016}}</ref> Thanks to heavy touring and the band's exposure on [[MTV]], ''Skid Row'' quickly went platinum and remained a ''Billboard'' top 10 album three months after its release.<ref name="Spin"/> The album spawned three singles: "[[Youth Gone Wild]]", "[[18 and Life]]", and "[[I Remember You (Skid Row song)|I Remember You]]", of which the last two charted in the top 10 on the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]].<ref name="Billboard">{{cite magazine|title=Skid Row – Chart History|url=http://www.billboard.com/artist/1493244/skid-row/chart?f=305|magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]|access-date=June 4, 2016}}</ref> "Piece of Me" was released as a [[promo single]] and also featured a music video.
