Having a "Top 40 hit" was essential in the 80s for these bands to get their albums made, and the power ballad was how a hard-rocking band could be assured to get their music played on pop and adult contemporary stations. Eventually it led to bands who were only known for their power ballads (Extreme is a great example; "More Than Words" was the only song of theirs that even got noticed, but the rest of their album was way more metal than most hair bands and got almost no airplay even on rock stations. When they broke up, their lead singer became the third lead singer for Van Halen)
I absolutely LOVE seeing people discover bands like Skid Row and fall in love with power ballads. Music isn't made like this anymore... the vocals, the instrumentals... this stuff makes my heart happy.
As a tween I was into NKOTB, that is until I heard this song and totally fell in crush with Sebastian Bach (and Bret Michaels from Poison; Nikki Sixx from Motley Crue; and I could go on).
Sebastian Bach definitely has one of the most gorgeous voices in rock music….he has the most beautiful scream ever and he was so darn pretty!!! Hairband power ballads have the best love songs!!!!!
He could sing with the best of them ... but he drove his bandmates up the bloody wall! Skid Row went to Moscow for a music festival that included Bon Jovi, Ozzy, the Scorpions (among others) and they all flew over in the same plane. Sebastian drove everyone nuts. He has no 'off' switch ... he is permanently dialed up to 11. Even Ozzy had enough. At one point he turned to Sebastian and asked "Do you EVER f***ING shut up!".
@@slitheringreptiles , Doll the release dates are a good bit later than when it was written & published. With that being said, you are also correct because it doesn't take 3-4 yrs for sure. Lol 😄 Daphne didn't state whether she is meaning recording dates, release date, etc..🤷🏽♀️
Darkened Room and Quicksand Jesus for the lady, Monkey Business and Slave to the Grind for the gentleman. Youth Gone Wild for everybody. Skid Row had some great songs. Trust.
Amber you should either react to 18 and Life yourself or watch Jordans reaction. I prefer seeing your actual reaction, got the pleasure of seeing Jordans.
Sebastian Bach is one of the greatest singers of his generation. His talent as a front man and his incomparable voice got him to perform on Broadway in the title role in Jekyll & Hyde and in The Rocky Horror Show. Now in his 50s, he still has a great voice. I think Amber would also enjoy Quicksand Jesus. Oh... and did I mention he his also Canadian? 😉
And with absolutely no effort. There is no strain in his face or anything. It's like he opens his mouth, and the words just come out. Absolutely Flawless
I was going to say the same thing. the 80s were full of rock bands and power ballads. In some cases they kind of killed a bands momentum but now and then they were really good.
I miss that type of vocals with raspy long belting in nowadays rock bands who have roots in Nirvana's style. Don't get me wrong, I don't have nothing against Nirvana but I really love the vocal skills and the wide range so I would like to have more bands with such crazy good vocalists like Sebastian.
There is no Color Barrier anymore. I see everyone Reacting to performers they would never have heard before the Internet. Right on!!!!! Music will always Heal the Soul. Rock and Roll!!!
Skid Row suffered from coming out later in the “Hair Band” era. They were an incredible band that fizzled away when grunge and Nirvana hit the scene. I like that people are now seeing how great this band really was.
They actually broke up over the drama at least that is why according to one side of it, BC the band had a problems with leader singer Bach.. So its became about band drama and antics with Sebastian Bach not BC they fizzled so to speak. Personally I wasn't there so I'm not taking either side.. But its not at all shocking.. Guessing it was those BIG Egos that really destroyed this awesome band. Also check out the song Monkey Business off the album "Slave to the Grind." For more info on the band breaking up you can also do a read up on the personal dramatics that happened to this band and on why they broke over it and why to this day they still don't speak to each other. Its very sad really..its such a shame.. its usually bands like this that have so much passion that they bring out the music thats the best in one another..its timeless. Rock and Roll still lives! I'm so grateful that you lovely people have discovered them along with so many other genres of music! Keep Rocking on Always!!!
Skid Row is one of the most underrated bands. “Wasted Time” and “Quicksand Jesus” are a must when listening to Skid Row. Bach’s vocals are stronger in these songs 💓💓
SKID ROW "WASTED TIME" shows off Sebastian Bach vocal range. A personal song he wrote for his Drummer friend In Gun n Roses Steven Adler who was going through addiction problems. 🗣️🔥💯
Do you remember what venue where Skid Row performed Wasted Time live? It was an outdoor venue, he had on no shirt and I want to say GnR and some other bands toured with them.
"Nobody's Fool", "Coming Home", "Gypsy Road", and "Shake Me" are other good choices .. Jeff LaBar just passed away a couple weeks back..and still pretty young at 58
So glad I grew up in this era…. When artists actually played instruments…we need to bring this music back… you guys really know your music… great reaction guys keep up the great work!
Yes, not many could hold a candle to Sebastian Bach in his prime. This track was off their first album, and their second was definitely harder overall. For me, Sebastian's vocal range and power were more impressive on the second album. Check out Wasted Time, Quicksand Jesus, and In a Darkened Room in particular. You won't be disappointed!
@J King not when it was performed live. It was absolutely amazing!!! I wish I knew what show it was but it was an outdoor venue and there were other bands on the same tour. I want to say GnR may have been one but Sebatian Bach's vocals are incredible.
Ah, Sebbie Bach: prettier than most women, total bad-ass, absolutely amazing voice. I’ve been in love with him since I was about 7 years old. For another band that had a pretty frontman and were pretty good rockers, try Poison next, Brett Michaels is almost as pretty as Sebastian Bach but they could sure rock out. A lot of great songs there, including Unskinny Bop, Valley of Lost Souls, and of course everybody's requisite ballad, in this case Every Rose Has Its Thorn, and Something To Believe In, one about Vietnam veterans among other things.
Queensryche (pronounced Queens-Rike) Empire from the same titled Empire album. Jordan will seriously connect with the lyrics of it. also, Queensryche: Silent Lucidity...Mama will absolutely LOVE Geoff Tate's AMAZING vocals. please and thank you
Whether you react on the channel or not...Listen to Operation Mindcrime is phenomenal. Its a concept album & straight up tells a story through the lyrics. Geoff Tate's vocals are amazing & his band mates deliver.
I was going to suggest this too. Silent lucidity always gives me goose bumps! Operation Mindcrime, I don’t believe in love, Eyes of a stranger. Take hold of the flame shows off his incredible range.
Sebastian Bach is hands down one of the greatest hard rock singers of all time. Can give it to you anyway you want, hard rock, ballad, doesn’t matter. Perfection.
I can’t count the number of times I’ve heard this song in my almost-40 years and that high, powerful “I love you” gives me chills every time. Brilliant.
Sebastian Bach, The lead singer you see in this video of the band, Skid Row has one of the most widest vocal ranges ever. His voice is extremely highly rated by vocal coaches everywhere
That last bit of vocal is so great. Goose bumps, no matter how many times I hear it. Really kind of gives a voice to that character in the video. The pain he must be in losing his girl.
Sebastian used to live about 5 miles or so from where I live. He was a hard partying guy and more than once he'd been thrown out of the local bar in his town. Now he's a rather big guy at around 6'5" or 6'6" so that must have been a sight. If you're looking for another Power Ballad from this time period I'd suggest "Love Song" from Tesla.
you gotta hear Wasted Time, his vocals are EXCELLENT in that one, not that they aren't excellent in every song lol.. Monkey Business is great too, but it's more of their rock side
Sebastian Bach is an amazing vocalist. Since you like his vocals, you should definitely listen to I’ll Never Let You Go by: Steelheart. You’ll love it. Another Skid Row song you’ll love is Quicksand Jesus
or in a darkened room also shows off his range. And then like you said there is Milli....Steelheart were in a class all by themselves. Should have been huge. Damn lighting rig....
I graduated high school in 1990 and I absolutely loved this song. I thought Sebastian Bach was the most beautiful man I had every seen and he also had great hair😂When I heard him sing I would get so emotional that I would get tears in my eyes. What a dork I was! I still think he was beautiful! He had such a unique voice. The talent!!
Wasted Time is their most epic ballad. His voice is incredible in that tune. But yeah Rob lots of heavy grinding hair metal tunes with Skid Row. Keep digging.
Every year, on our anniversary, my husband requests this song with a shoutout to me. After 31 yrs together it’s still our song… just like the song says “We’ve had our share of hard times. But that’s the price we paid. And through it all we kept the promise that we made. I swear you’ll never be lonely”
His voice is/was one of the best. Only people that I know of to ousting him in range was the late Freddy Mercury and Mariah Carey. Only they had a greater octave range than Sebastian Bach.
Wait until you hear Wasted Time. It's about his friends drug addiction Steven Adler which was the drummer for Guns and Roses. They kicked him out of the band because the addiction was that bad. The vocals really show how much the singer loved his friend.
Best voices in metal of all time Sebastian Bach of Skid Row Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden Ronnie James Dio of Dio/Rainbow/Black Sabbath Geoff Tate of Queensryche Rob Halford of Judas Priest Absolutely stellar talent in all of these guys. Operatic style talent power and control. Amazing!!!!!!!
This song is probably the absolute best power ballad to come out of the 80s! The whole time you were talking about him holding a note I kept thinking “wait until the end one!”
My husband says since Amber love the sax(my husband cringed when you called it a horn it's a wood wind). But he says you need to listen to do Quarter flash harden my heart for female Friday ..hes says Amber will love it
This is probably my favorite rock ballad of all time, that's why I suggested it. I figured Jordan would love the guitar solo in this one, and I also figured you'd both like the lyrics, but I did not foresee just how much Amber was going to love Sebastian Bach's voice. I'm glad you guys liked it! I don't know any Skid Row to top this one, but another great song I would recommend would be "November Rain" by Guns and Roses.
If it's unbelievable vocals you want, Steelhearts 'I'll never let you go' cannot be topped! Absolute jaw dropping vocals like you've never heard. Be warned! Outstanding!
Yeah I’ll get behind Steelheart as well. I’ll Never Let You Go is an amazing song that never really got the credit it deserves. Miljenko Matijevic is another singer with spectacular pipes!
A good cover is by Moriah Formica. She was on the Voice a few years ago. She and her band, Plush is awesome. Think along the lines of a young Ann Wilson. I believe they are supposed to open for both Halestorm and Pretty Reckless pretty soon .
When you listen to this after the bridge you have to realize the vocal skill of Sebatian Bach coming in on the arpeggio of the guitar and how well l he matches it up, One of my favs! Such talent
He's got beautiful hair and a gorgeous voice. A friend of mine knows him for many years. He's done Broadway and was on the Gilmore Girls. The guitarist in this band was the original guitarist for Bon Jovi. So Bon Jovi helped them after they made it first.
Most rock bands from the 80’s were referred to as “hair bands”, obviously because of all the long hair. Just about every one of them put out at least one love ballad.
Sabastian Bach is such a talent. I love Skid Row! Journey “ Faithfully “ is AMAZING and “ I’ll be alright with out you” anyone actually. Also Bad English “ When I see you smile”!
From about 84 to 90 there were hard rock bands who could rock out but do a power ballad as well. If there's a ton of hair...these were the hair band sub genre. If Amber watched Gilmore girls, the singer also played in a band in their supposedly.
That's song hits almost every emotion. And brings back really good & bad memories. But I absolutely love watching you both discover it. The band was amazing but I'm glad you both noted how amazing (and under rated) his voice is. 👍
I love this song so much. I feel like power ballads get teased a bit as a genre, but seriously, can anyone listen to this song and not appreciate how beautiful and complex it is. Sebastian Bach’s vocals alone are just stunning. Plus he’s beautiful 😍 that hair! I had such a crush on him when I was a kid 😁
I love watching you folks listen to this and enjoy it so much. This is me and my wife’s song. Singer Sebastian was a troubled young guy, blessed with so much talent but by all accounts was a bar room brawler. Who would think a guy that pretty was mean as a junkyard dog but hey go figure. God bless y’all. Loved this
I love how Jay just got lost in that guitar solo, SO damn good Skid Row is another group I grew up on. Other songs to check out include Youth Gone Wild, Monkey Business, Slave to the Grind. Love these guys :)
Please, please, please play a little Jeff Healey. He is an amazing, underrated singer. A few great songs are See the Light, Angel Eyes, As the years go passing by. Not only did he lose his sight at a very young age, he died of cancer in his early 40's. I can just imagine the music he would have come out with if he had lived.
All the rockers in the 80s would make a great love song, and each one was better than the last. This was one of my favorites, his voice just brings me back. 💙
He looked like an angel sent from the gods… the incredible voice, the flowing blonde hair, pouring his heart out with words like honey… Still melting after all these years 💕
When I first heard this song it reminded me of a man calling our his heart and his lover taking his breath away. The song elevates taking your breath away too. Perfectly written song. Sang by a master vocalist.
Every man has had that one, epic love. The other half of his soul. And lost her, watched her walk away, forgetting him, finding another. And that pain in his voice is the cry of every man who will never forget those moments when his soul was complete, and while she'soved on, he never will be able.
Wish I could have found a man with a heart and soul like yours. Not many to be found these days. And I know...some women have ruined many good men for the rest of us.
sebastian bach has such an amazing voice. And is an amazing guitar player. When they brought him in to join lanes band on Gilmore girls, it was so much fun watching him play

Power Ballads in the 80's we're like a genre unto themselves. Nothing like it and I can't really say that there's been anything since that compares
80's girl here and I completely agree!! Power Ballads were the greatest!!
I totally agree with you. We middle aged folks had the most variety of music if any generation.
Power ballads got the girls to the concert
Having a "Top 40 hit" was essential in the 80s for these bands to get their albums made, and the power ballad was how a hard-rocking band could be assured to get their music played on pop and adult contemporary stations.

When they broke up, their lead singer became the third lead singer for Van Halen)
Bands would release a hard rock song first, then a power ballad, and then a rocker
Skid Row - Youth Gone Wild, he lets loose on this one hard.
Great choice! My personal favorite from the band.
Many kids anthem🤘........
As always Nightwish Ghost Love Score live from wacken...NOTHING LIKE YA EVER HEARD 99.5% Guaranteed !!
When he screams “WILD” live at Wembley in ‘91, it’s the best I’ve ever heard!!
Sebastian Bach is hands down one of the best vocalists of the 80s.
Yes I forgot how great his voice is...definitely underappreciated
Yip, the man had some crazy pipes
i love sebastion but Miljenko Matijević from steelheart can out sing him. check out I’ll never let you go from steelheart
@@dwood21851 I agree. But I like sebastians voice better. And steelhearts lyrics are so cheesy. But his singing makes it fine
I absolutely LOVE seeing people discover bands like Skid Row and fall in love with power ballads. Music isn't made like this anymore... the vocals, the instrumentals... this stuff makes my heart happy.
Definitely true
"Music isn't made like this anymore..." exactly!! .. music lost its soul, I feel really sorry about new generations, they dont know what is it
As a tween I was into NKOTB, that is until I heard this song and totally fell in crush with Sebastian Bach (and Bret Michaels from Poison; Nikki Sixx from Motley Crue; and I could go on).
Hell yeah
Truth
Sebastian Bach definitely has one of the most gorgeous voices in rock music….he has the most beautiful scream ever and he was so darn pretty!!! Hairband power ballads have the best love songs!!!!!
I also loved watching Sebastian Bach and Gilmore girls he just cracked me up to see him as an actor 20-30 years later
that is true has has one of the best rock voices of all time too bad he was a drunk prick lol
Probably the prettiest pretty boy, and he damn sure had an AMAZING, one of a kind voice.
He could sing with the best of them ... but he drove his bandmates up the bloody wall! Skid Row went to Moscow for a music festival that included Bon Jovi, Ozzy, the Scorpions (among others) and they all flew over in the same plane. Sebastian drove everyone nuts. He has no 'off' switch ... he is permanently dialed up to 11. Even Ozzy had enough. At one point he turned to Sebastian and asked "Do you EVER f***ING shut up!".
@@paulnickson8734 🤣 🤣 I can totally see that, he’s super hyper and obnoxiously loud
Sebastian Bach is a great rock singer, and his band was one of the biggest of that era. Lots of great tunes to check out!
Don't forget he was only 17 when this & 18 to life. Canadians, Soo nice
@@daphnehenry3289 he wasnt 17. He was more like 20 to 21 yrs old. He was born 1968. This album didnt release until 1989

Darkened Room and Quicksand Jesus for the lady, Monkey Business and Slave to the Grind for the gentleman. Youth Gone Wild for everybody. Skid Row had some great songs. Trust.
I had forgot all about slave to the grind
I was always partial to Get the F**k Out myself! All of these are great choices 👍
Hey! Not sure why you think girls will only like slower songs?! I love Monkey Business & especially Slave to the Grind!
Also, Wasted Time. Awesome song. Big Guns for the bros.

Sebastian is a brilliant vocalist....Such a range...
He also played the lead role of Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar.
Absolutely
He was Hot! Straight up!
And “wasted time”
One of THE greatest power ballads ever recorded!
The Greatest
This song is awesome. But, Steelheart, "Never let you go" is powerful as well.
@@donniemagee4715 wow, i can't believe i missed this song (growing up). great recommendation! got any more?
No auto-tune, kids. He really hit those notes. Saw them live in '91. He could really sing like that.
And with absolutely no effort. There is no strain in his face or anything. It's like he opens his mouth, and the words just come out. Absolutely Flawless
This type of song is called a “power ballad”. When hard rock/heavy metal/hair bands want a softer song
Ha, yup. The formula back then for the “hair bands” was to release a rock song as the first single and then a power ballad for the second.
I was going to say the same thing. the 80s were full of rock bands and power ballads. In some cases they kind of killed a bands momentum but now and then they were really good.
Love 80’s Power Ballads. Love 80’s music period! 70’s & 80’s we’re the best music decades hands down!
I miss that type of vocals with raspy long belting in nowadays rock bands who have roots in Nirvana's style. Don't get me wrong, I don't have nothing against Nirvana but I really love the vocal skills and the wide range so I would like to have more bands with such crazy good vocalists like Sebastian.
OMG Sebastian Bach…he is gorgeous. He is classically trained.
💯💯 loved him since I was in middle school. ♥️♥️
Sébastien Bach was a beautiful looking man back then.
Guys, this is a quintessential 80’s power ballad!
Definitely!!!
By the quintessential 80's hair metal band.
There is no Color Barrier anymore. I see everyone Reacting to performers they would never have heard before the Internet. Right on!!!!! Music will always Heal the Soul. Rock and Roll!!!
I've noticed that too.
Amen
Right on Brother!! Music is the great equalizer.

Wrong.
Skid Row is one of the most underrated bands. “Wasted Time” and “Quicksand Jesus” are a must when listening to Skid Row. Bach’s vocals are stronger in these songs 💓💓
Wasted time is an amazing song, vocals instrumentals and the messages all AMAZING
Another was in a darkened room, again dealing with a strong message
Sébastien Bach one of the best voices!
Agree 100%. Skid Row is under rated, under played, great talents and Bach can hold his own up against any rock vocalist from any era.
Cats in the cradle
SKID ROW "WASTED TIME" shows off Sebastian Bach vocal range. A personal song he wrote for his Drummer friend In Gun
n Roses Steven Adler who was going through addiction problems. 🗣️🔥💯
100 % agree with you. Amazing song.
Do you remember what venue where Skid Row performed Wasted Time live? It was an outdoor venue, he had on no shirt and I want to say GnR and some other bands toured with them.

One of the greatest hair metal ballads is Don't Know What You Got Till It's Gone by Cinderella. Awesome mix of piano and guitar rock.
"Nobody's Fool", "Coming Home", "Gypsy Road", and "Shake Me" are other good choices .. Jeff LaBar just passed away a couple weeks back..and still pretty young at 58
@@Sportsref13 Shake me love that one. But anything Tom sings is awesome
Yes yes , Cinderella- Don’t Know What you Got Till It’s Gone - is a MUST listen to
Skid Row is very much a hair metal band. But Sebastian really does have one of the best vocals of the genre.
Unfortunately Cinderella's guitarist, Jeff LaBar, just passed away this year. Cinderella was a fantastic band.
3 things:
-Sebastian Bach is a GOD
-This song is an absolute masterpiece
-If this doesn't hit you in the feelz, you're dead inside
This.
Def Leppard will always be my favorite 80’s band, but Sebastian Bach’s vocals feed my soul. 💜
Hard rock ballad - not heavy metal - great 80's tunes ! "Youth Gone Wild" was one of my favorites ! ❤🎵😎
My favorite was rattlesnake shake. Shake it like a rattlesnake!
Slaughter “Fly to the angels” is along this same line. Lead singer has similar voice. Keep it up guys, doing a great job. Thank you peace ✌️
I love that song
Fly to the Angels was about one of the brothers who had passed away. Correct me if I'm wrong
@@thomasjacobsen7438 I’ve heard it was his girlfriend while he was touring, but honestly I’m not sure. Thanks for input.

Youth Gone Wild.... The song that introduced us to Skid Row. Take a listen

I was going to suggest the same 2 Queensryche songs! Empire for Jordan & Silent Lucidity for Amber. Great minds think alike! 😊
Agreed 💯
(80's young adult here) Sebastian was trained in Opera as a teenager before joining Skid Row. His vocal ability was insane. His vibrato beautiful.
His mother was an opera singer if i recall correctly?
Coming from an old '80s hair band guy. Every rock singer in the '80s wanted to sound like this dude
I still wanna marry him 💕
Sebastian Bach is hands down one of the greatest hard rock singers of all time. Can give it to you anyway you want, hard rock, ballad, doesn’t matter. Perfection.
Such an underrated band. Sebastian Bach can wail and the band wasn't half bad.
Their flame was hot but burned out quick
I've seen them live a few times and they were disappointing, but I love their studio recordings.
@@MikeHart72 Hair Metal burned out at this point. If Skid Row had been 5 years before they would have been much bigger.
Correct
Kurt Saxton ... Was Bach still with them ? I've never had the pleasure but I can't imagine a bad show from him
Please do some Tesla " Modern day Cowboy" "Love song" Signs" just a few.
"Signs" is a cover, but it's a great one.
Tesla is a great band.
Little Suzi is one of my favorites. Such a great band!
For real!!!!
YES!!!! Tesla “What You Give”
That scream !!!!!!!!!! That scream came out right from his heart and rips my heart apart ! Damn! how could he managed to do it !!!!

This song has a special place in many 80’a kids hearts.
Slaughter - Fly To The Angels is another great song from the 80's. Mark Slaughter has an incredible voice.
Wasn't his brother that had passed away
100%
Another good one is Queensryche, Silent Lucidity
Great song. I really like "Mad about You." Mark Slaughter was kind of under the radar, didn’t get talked about enough...as far as I'm concerned

That last bit of vocal is so great. Goose bumps, no matter how many times I hear it. Really kind of gives a voice to that character in the video. The pain he must be in losing his girl.
Sebastian used to live about 5 miles or so from where I live. He was a hard partying guy and more than once he'd been thrown out of the local bar in his town. Now he's a rather big guy at around 6'5" or 6'6" so that must have been a sight. If you're looking for another Power Ballad from this time period I'd suggest "Love Song" from Tesla.
you gotta hear Wasted Time, his vocals are EXCELLENT in that one, not that they aren't excellent in every song lol.. Monkey Business is great too, but it's more of their rock side
Sebastian Bach is an amazing vocalist. Since you like his vocals, you should definitely listen to I’ll Never Let You Go by: Steelheart. You’ll love it. Another Skid Row song you’ll love is Quicksand Jesus
or in a darkened room also shows off his range. And then like you said there is Milli....Steelheart were in a class all by themselves. Should have been huge. Damn lighting rig....
I graduated high school in 1990 and I absolutely loved this song. I thought Sebastian Bach was the most beautiful man I had every seen and he also had great hair😂When I heard him sing I would get so emotional that I would get tears in my eyes. What a dork I was! I still think he was beautiful! He had such a unique voice. The talent!!
This song has so much emotion in it. Always loved it
Wasted Time is their most epic ballad. His voice is incredible in that tune. But yeah Rob lots of heavy grinding hair metal tunes with Skid Row. Keep digging.
Their best song for sure
quicksand jesus is up there too...
Huey Lewis And The News - I Want A New Drug (FUNNY VIDEO)
Huey Lewis scored a perfect 800 on his math SATs
thank god I grew up late 70s into all 80s music and 90s best times for music 80s was besttttttttt
Every year, on our anniversary, my husband requests this song with a shoutout to me. After 31 yrs together it’s still our song… just like the song says “We’ve had our share of hard times. But that’s the price we paid. And through it all we kept the promise that we made. I swear you’ll never be lonely”
Thats great to read that!
Amber will fall in love with Steelhearts singers voice. Millie is one of the best power ballad singers. Try She's Gone or I'll Never Let You Go. 💙💜
Steelheart
THe live version of I'll Never Let You Go is incredible!
@@jimgeorge9476 100% Agreed! Unbelievable performance 💙
Oh yes!
His voice is/was one of the best. Only people that I know of to ousting him in range was the late Freddy Mercury and Mariah Carey. Only they had a greater octave range than Sebastian Bach.
Wait until you hear Wasted Time. It's about his friends drug addiction Steven Adler which was the drummer for Guns and Roses. They kicked him out of the band because the addiction was that bad. The vocals really show how much the singer loved his friend.
Now check out Steelheart - I'll Never Let You Go. Dudes voice could break glass. So clean and high. Its another hard rock power ballad
Skid Row doesn’t get enough recognition. Sebastian is SO talented.
Best voices in metal of all time
Sebastian Bach of Skid Row
Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden
Ronnie James Dio of Dio/Rainbow/Black Sabbath
Geoff Tate of Queensryche
Rob Halford of Judas Priest
Absolutely stellar talent in all of these guys. Operatic style talent power and control. Amazing!!!!!!!
This song is probably the absolute best power ballad to come out of the 80s! The whole time you were talking about him holding a note I kept thinking “wait until the end one!”
My husband says since Amber love the sax(my husband cringed when you called it a horn it's a wood wind). But he says you need to listen to do Quarter flash harden my heart for female Friday ..hes says Amber will love it
Enjoy Bach's voice... definitely one of the best rock voices ever
'I Remember You' is one of just a handful of technically PERFECT songs in existence.
How can u not think of lost love and freedom listening to this song. Tells such a story……his voice is sooooo powerful! Just amazing….
If she loves that sound, try Steelheart - I'll Never Let You Go...
No rocker hits higher notes that I've heard!
Absolutely correct. They need to listen to Steelheart I’ll Never Let You Go
I didn't see this comment, and I said the same thing. Steelheart is a favorite of mine
This is probably my favorite rock ballad of all time, that's why I suggested it. I figured Jordan would love the guitar solo in this one, and I also figured you'd both like the lyrics, but I did not foresee just how much Amber was going to love Sebastian Bach's voice. I'm glad you guys liked it! I don't know any Skid Row to top this one, but another great song I would recommend would be "November Rain" by Guns and Roses.
If it's unbelievable vocals you want, Steelhearts 'I'll never let you go' cannot be topped! Absolute jaw dropping vocals like you've never heard. Be warned! Outstanding!
Great choice. Just when you don't think he can go higher, he somehow manages to.
Yeah I’ll get behind Steelheart as well. I’ll Never Let You Go is an amazing song that never really got the credit it deserves. Miljenko Matijevic is another singer with spectacular pipes!
A good cover is by Moriah Formica. She was on the Voice a few years ago. She and her band, Plush is awesome. Think along the lines of a young Ann Wilson. I believe they are supposed to open for both Halestorm and Pretty Reckless pretty soon .
Also, Bang Tango- Just for you
When you listen to this after the bridge you have to realize the vocal skill of Sebatian Bach coming in on the arpeggio of the guitar and how well l he matches it up, One of my favs! Such talent
Best part of the song!
If you're looking for a great "vibe" song, I highly recommend Silent Lucidity by the band Queensryche. It's absolutely amazing! Amber will love it! ❤
Omg. I used to play silent lucidity over and over and get completely lost.
Queensryches Silent Lucidity is going to be my funeral song.....its in my Will. I have 9 kids and they all know.
Anyone who has kids will love Silent Lucidity. Hits you right in the feels!!!
Great suggestion
Jet city woman is an incredible tune. Better than silent lucidity IMO
He's got beautiful hair and a gorgeous voice. A friend of mine knows him for many years. He's done Broadway and was on the Gilmore Girls. The guitarist in this band was the original guitarist for Bon Jovi. So Bon Jovi helped them after they made it first.
Don't forget Trailer Park Boy's lol. Is your friend from Port Perry?
Or maybe Lindsay.
@@stevemchale9775 She's from New Jersey She also worked for Bon Jovi too..Thats how I met her.
@@dana_brooke_27 oh. He's from one of those towns I mentioned in Ontario Canada. I forget which one for sure. I guess that's what Google's for 😊
@@stevemchale9775 Yeah but Skid Row worked out of Tom's River New Jersey He said Skid Row is New Jersey but right now he's living in Los Angeles.
Most rock bands from the 80’s were referred to as “hair bands”, obviously because of all the long hair. Just about every one of them put out at least one love ballad.
Have ya done Every Rose Has It’s Thorn by Poison! Check it out!🔥
Sabastian Bach is such a talent. I love Skid Row! Journey “ Faithfully “ is AMAZING and “ I’ll be alright with out you” anyone actually.
Also Bad English “ When I see you smile”!
Skid Row was a hard rock group and this is one of their ballads “soft slow song”.. every hard rock group sings one from time to time, even still today
They are a “hair band” this is their ballad. Bach has a such a beautiful voice and is a beautiful man
From about 84 to 90 there were hard rock bands who could rock out but do a power ballad as well. If there's a ton of hair...these were the hair band sub genre. If Amber watched Gilmore girls, the singer also played in a band in their supposedly.
Some other good Skid Row songs are: Sweet Little Sister, Rattlesnake Shake, and Big Guns.
1989 I was 16 and in love with this music! I believe this the best of Gen X! So much going on during this time! Great time to grow up!
That's song hits almost every emotion. And brings back really good & bad memories. But I absolutely love watching you both discover it. The band was amazing but I'm glad you both noted how amazing (and under rated) his voice is. 👍
Sebastian Bach was extremely good looking.
He has videos as part of the Four Tenors, my fave is "Who wants to live forever"...he's so pretty and has dark hair in the video.
Yes he was!
I love this song so much. I feel like power ballads get teased a bit as a genre, but seriously, can anyone listen to this song and not appreciate how beautiful and complex it is. Sebastian Bach’s vocals alone are just stunning. Plus he’s beautiful 😍 that hair! I had such a crush on him when I was a kid 😁
Steelheart - I’ll never let you go, is probably one of the best vocal performances in the Power Ballad genre
I seriously enjoy seeing people discover the music of my youth.
I love watching you folks listen to this and enjoy it so much. This is me and my wife’s song. Singer Sebastian was a troubled young guy, blessed with so much talent but by all accounts was a bar room brawler. Who would think a guy that pretty was mean as a junkyard dog but hey go figure. God bless y’all. Loved this
In a Darkened Room and Wasted Time are both great songs. In a Darkened Room is so sad if you have the vocals, but its POWERFUL.
I love how Jay just got lost in that guitar solo, SO damn good Skid Row is another group I grew up on. Other songs to check out include Youth Gone Wild, Monkey Business, Slave to the Grind. Love these guys :)
Please, please, please play a little Jeff Healey. He is an amazing, underrated singer. A few great songs are See the Light, Angel Eyes, As the years go passing by. Not only did he lose his sight at a very young age, he died of cancer in his early 40's. I can just imagine the music he would have come out with if he had lived.
Oh Goodness, I love Angel Eyes!💓
"Angel Eyes" is one of my favorite songs of all time. Of all time.
You guys should really come back and do another Skid Row song. They rock so hard and Sebastian's voice is amazing!!
This is one of my fav rock ballads.....so beautiful.
All the rockers in the 80s would make a great love song, and each one was better than the last.
This was one of my favorites, his voice just brings me back. 💙
For Skid Rows harder stuff you need to hear YOUTH GONE WILD , SLAVE TO THE GRIND, or MONKEY BUSINESS
I think you guys will like: Steelheart - She's Gone unplugged
It is slow enough for Amber and has piano for Jordan!
He looked like an angel sent from the gods… the incredible voice, the flowing blonde hair, pouring his heart out with words like honey… Still melting after all these years 💕
His range is INSANE.BEAUTIFULLY done
When I first heard this song it reminded me of a man calling our his heart and his lover taking his breath away. The song elevates taking your breath away too. Perfectly written song. Sang by a master vocalist.
Sebastian was gorgeous! 😍😍😍😍
More for Jay, but "Monkey Business" and/or "Youth Gone Wild" and/or "Piece of Me"...top notch bangers
Every man has had that one, epic love. The other half of his soul. And lost her, watched her walk away, forgetting him, finding another. And that pain in his voice is the cry of every man who will never forget those moments when his soul was complete, and while she'soved on, he never will be able.
Wish I could have found a man with a heart and soul like yours. Not many to be found these days. And I know...some women have ruined many good men for the rest of us.
Hair band ballads are the best representation of 80s's rock for sure
sebastian bach has such an amazing voice. And is an amazing guitar player. When they brought him in to join lanes band on Gilmore girls, it was so much fun watching him play
Have you guy's heard She's Gone by Steelheart,if not i thoroughly recommend it.✌🇦🇺
Steelheart is a MUST! Talk about vocal range.
For guitar solos.. Eddie Van Halen - Eruption. Life changing
Before the internet.. radio ruled.. Sebastian Bach (BAS) is one of the reasons why.
All time favorite power ballad. Wish I grew up back then. This is real music.
Damn all that hair flying everywhere 😍😍, can’t we go back lol ,
I've posted several times.. you want crazy vocals? Steelheart - she's gone unplugged
