Born March 1, 1963, Rob Affuso was a founding member of Skid Row and stayed with the band until their original breakup in 1996. He actually formed another band in 1991, which he did simultaneously with Skid Row. That group was called SoulSystem. After Skid Row broke up, he performed with Ozone Mondays for a time. He still plays with Soulsystem, which is a funk big band, but was not asked to join Skid Row for their reunion.
