"Youth Gone Wild" is the debut single from Skid Row's eponymous debut album.
Its music video received heavy airplay on MTV; however, while the album itself was a major hit and went multi-platinum in the U.S. and other countries, "Youth Gone Wild" as a single only reached #99 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and reached #20 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks.
The song was re-released in 1992 on the B-Side Ourselves album with "Delivering the Goods" single and charted again at #22 on the UK Singles chart.
"Youth Gone Wild" has been covered by several bands including HammerFall, Sign, Norther, and Asking Alexandria.
