The most up to date bit of info on Wiki:

In 1987 Moore sold the name Skid Row to the American heavy metal band for $35,000. Shiels has said that he has always been unhappy at the group 'stealing their name', and said of manager Doc Magee, "he could be Doc Marten for all I know...but he's going to get a kick up the arse."

just in case anyone's curious, Skid Row was Brush Shiel's band, and contained Gary Moore, Phil Lynnott, Noel Bridgeman (used to play with Mary Black's band, now with Van Morrison), and guitarist Bernie Cheevers.
