Robert James Affuso (born March 1, 1963) is an American heavy metal drummer best
known as a member of the band Skid Row from 1987 to 1996.[1]
Affuso is currently the band leader and drummer for Soulsystem, a band he formed
while touring with Skid Row in 1992. He also formed an entertainment company
Soulsystem Orchestras Inc. in New York. Affuso played in the band Ozone Monday with
several of his former Skid Row bandmates. He was not involved in Skid Row's 1999
reunion. He has said that he would not rejoin the band without former lead
singer Sebastian Bach.
Affuso is the only former member that keeps in contact with all former Skid Row
bandmates and is still good friends with them all. He met Dave "Snake" Sabo while
auditioning for Bon Jovi in 1985.
He normally plays Pearl drums and Sabian Cymbals with Soulsystem, and also used
them whilst with Skid Row.
He was also a member of the Sutton Thomas Band prior to joining Skid Row. He also
played on Gilby Clarke's debut solo album in 1994 and Guns N' Roses bassist, Duff
McKagan's solo album. Affuso played on the debut album of Jill Hennessy (Crossing
Jordan/Law & Order) in 2008. Affuso made his first appearance in years in the metal
community on VH1's That Metal Show. He was a guest in the audience, where
host Eddie Trunk asked him if he would accept a Skid Row reunion, which he replied by
saying "absolutely."
He reunited with Skid Row onstage in 2002. He also appeared with Sebastian Bach live
on August 25, 2011, performing "I Remember You".
In April 2015, Affuso joined the band Four by Fate, which features former Frehley's
Comet members Tod Howarth and John Regan.
