He’s amazing. He has a huge personality and that turns many off. And he was pretty hardcore into drugs and alcohol which turned a lot of people off given his impulsive behavior. But I think he’s a genuinely good person, an incredible vocalist and a devoted fan of rock music. I’m a huge fan.
1996, KISS had the biggest tour of the year. THE BIGGEST EVENT OF 1996. In fact, one of the biggest events of the 90s. Highest grossing tour of 1996. Would have been huge for them to be opening on that tour, exposing themselves to sold out shows and stadiums of 10s of thousands of people each night. Many times solid bands who open for the big boys can help the band become one of the big boys. KISS, Ozzy, Metallica, Van Halen, AC/DC, Scorpions- you give your left nut to open for these bands as it can open you to stardom. I may not like Bach but he was absolutely right on having the band open for KISS
Although thing is, they never said they were too big to open for Kiss. That was never said by the band period, but that however is what Sebastian says and ONLY Sebastian says. The band (all of them) tell a different story and that story is, they had just gotten off a long tour and were tired and burnt out and wanted to spend some time with their families. Bach accepts a Kiss tour without consulting with them first, like he thought he could make decisons for the whole band by himself? He was the voice of the band singing wise, but he wasn't the voice decision wise, that was a decision the whole band needed to make. They opened for Kiss four years later, they also didn't want to tour with Bach anymore. That was just one of the many nails in his coffin for them.
I got the pleasure of seeing him in a small venue in Ramona CA. Not only did he rock the place but he pulled me up on stage to honor vets.. Desert Storm. Thanks brother
I'm a drummer,,,and never let your singer walk out,,,try to swallow your pride to work things out......great singers/frontmen are hard to find......period
No doubt Sebastian is a great singer, but does that absolve him from acting like a dick to his bandmates? How much crap should they put up with before enough is enough?
Skid Row was Skid Row because of Sebastian. I met him in 1990 and he was kind. And, he can ROCK. Great frontman. I loved them in concert. But because I adored Sebastian.
I wpuld have to respectfully disagree. I'm a long time Skid Row fan and their new singer Erik blows Bach out of the water. I saw then last night and he hits ALL the high notes. The crowd was wild. Skid Row has been resurrected!
Yeah they put out good albums just the grunge experiment killed a lot of those bands , and Bach overstepped his bounds by singing on for a tour without talking to the rest of the band.
I worked at The Marriott's Orlando World Center in the early 90's and I had the pleasure of waiting on Sebastian, his little son, and girlfriend. He was super nice and super cool. In my opinion, Sebastian Bach is Skid Row and a great rocker and singer. I still have the napkin that he signed for me. It was a good night. They played in Lakeland a few nights later at a festival and totally rocked the night away. Loud and proud.
Narcissists let their egos destroy everything sadly . Dan Vasc could front them as good as Sebastian but thet haven't auditioned him. Sebastion should start a new band called Front Row or Livin On The Skidz

@ShawnConrad-tw8du Ozzy? Come on man, you're going to put Ozzy in that group as far as singing goes? There is absolutely nothing impressive about Ozzie's vocal abilities. He's not a bad singer but to even put him in the same conversation as Sebastian Bach, Halford, etc,
@@giraffesareselfish9563Personally I can take or leave Ozzy. Sabbath was the sum of all four members and the early songs that made them legendary. Not just Ozzy and his average singing abilities. Bach is good but he's not the greatest. Or even top 5. Top 10 maybe but that's all I can concede.
Without Sebastian, Skid Row was just another hard rock band. As far as lead vocalist go, Sebastian is one of the best ever and he was the difference between Skid Row and all the others. Not to say the rest of the guys weren't talented, but they weren't any better than the others, Sebastian was truly special.
Ehh…. I bought his last solo album Give ‘‘em Hell when it came out and it was a mixed bag. There was some cool stuff he was doing on vocals, but a couple of the tracks were total stinkers
Keep in mind that Bas came into Skid Row after the first album was already written and he made zero money on it. He didn't start cashing in until Slave. His voice propelled Skid Row into the stratosphere on that first record and he was done dirty. It was inevitable that they would implode.
@TokyoConvertible87 are you serious? Level headed? They are bullish. How many bands do you know who keep changing their front man? Sr is a cover band without Sebastian. They keep going through the motions. Prove me wrong.
I have to say after being married to a semi famous drummer who had his share of bands thats been on tour did vidoes on MTV in the 80s and 90s but all band mates have problems with each other. They all have big egos and they all have ideas they think is best so they clash. The biggest thing I noticed its the egos that get in the way. I love my husband married 28 yrs but he had a big ego when it came to music he always wanted things his way and so did the other band mates. Every band has its clashing moments and many cant get over it... musicians are a different breed wild crazy big egos and a lot of fun. I guess all that craziness is what make us love our favorite bands and we hate it when they're no longer together. How I miss those days 80s and 90s where great times. Meet my husband in the early 90s crazy ass musician that stold my heart we were crazy in love thru all the craziness. He passed away a few months ago how I miss his crazy ass. A musician that actually stay married and truly loved me.
You're right about musicians usually having big egos. While I'm a humble person, I also had to do my own thing and didn't like sharing a musical vision with other band members. So I just do my music and release albums as studio projects.
No he’s not … he’s a singer who uses his time to complain about the past and his band instead of just putting something out worthwhile … he’s very close to being a “ complaining sad” artist
Yeah, because the last Skid Row album didnt post in the top 5 in 4 countries and top 20 in 9. LOLOL This dude is a douche and only has hmself to blame for being an out of tune has been now. He was over rated and he didnt even last 3 albums before being yesterdays news
I’m 49 and that said 18 and life and I remember you and while other more unknown songs were on the radio when I was 15. The way Sebastian sang and I remember you brings to mind my youth ,meeting my ex-wife at the end of that summer before the album dropped and everything else that’s happened in life since. I love this song and I love the way Sebastian sang with such emotion let’s be real , If it wasn’t for him there would have never been a Skid Row. We would’ve never heard of that band.
Sebastian is a handful. He’s filterless. He’s more talented than anybody’s is allowed to be and we love him. They were kids back then and I think he would do better now - especially for a single reunion tour - he wants it so bad. He also knows he can still sing those same songs that he has for 35 years with or without them.
That’s the whole problem. He’s a handful and everybody’s tired of it. He antagonizes people if he changes that he’d be perfect and they probably could have a reunion.
@@robinberg3888 they will never reunite. They go through singers quicker than they do Charmin. Sebastian doesn’t need them and they don’t want him. And anyone who actually loves Sebastian doesn’t want him to change in anyway. He has come a million miles in his 50s even more than his 40s. He has apologized for his regrets. He owes nobody anything
This is another example of young talented guys that caught lightning in a bottle but didn't have enough maturity by understanding or guidance to see through the valleys of a musical career.. Aerosmith Black Sabbath all the greats I've always had issues look at the Rolling Stones The Who Etc they all saw through the crap and grinded on for the greater good of the band the fans and their income.
I saw skid row in the summer of 1988 with Tesla opening at the Orange County Speedway in Middletown NY. Both bands were stellar. Stellar. Perfect hard rock music. Both bands were extremely hungry, fierce, and tight. I'll always remember that show.
That's a good show the best new years eve show was at the cowpalace in SF the lineup was Dokken,Y&T with DIO headlining that was a metal show there's others but that one comes to mind 1st
Live he can fkn sing and if you go watch their British concert when they toured after hitting big. His singing was amazing and it still blows me away today
Snake Sabo is in rock circles one of the most popular and well liked musicians. I mean everybody likes the guy. Even an executive from Skid Row’s old label wrote of Snake’s thoughtfulness when her parent died and he attended the wake. She wrote he was a totally great guy and a class act. If Snake says Bach is a jackass then based on all the people who sing high praise of Snake Sabo I’d believe it.
Snake Sabo is the real deal. He’s also a businessman and successful road manager (he’s managed multiple Zakk Wylde/BLS tours. Bach shouldn’t have signed his publishing rights over to Jon Bon Jovi 🤷🏻♂️
@@lisamitchell2949 they used to hang out at The Button South in Hallandale Florida around the time their friends Saigon Kick were coming up. Dave, Scotty, and Rob were sooooo nice. Rachel was a bit standoffish. I worked with his cousin, who used to ask me to give him messages. It was clear that Rachel was not enthused. Bach was around sometimes, usually doing something silly like collecting girl's panties ad putting them on the hedges of the Denny's across the street. Strange times.
Bach is a knob head. He is an amazing singer and they didn't recover after him and they knew they wouldn't, but a saint couldn't stick the guy. Hands down one of the worst divas in the industry.
I believe Eddie best coined the phrase when asked about why Van Halen broke up. He said Roth suffers from LSD, Lead Singers Disease. Egos are fed by success and sometimes you forget the hard work and collaboration and enjoyment it took when you were unknown.
But then Sammy left under the same circumstances and took Michael Anthony with him. Seems Eddie was the common denominator and his ego was the problem. The only people that didn’t leave were his brother and son.
Skid Row was successful BECAUSE OF Sebastian, by his vocals, looks and attitude. He was the one hanging out with the best. Obviously have great songs but with Sebastian could do at that time at 19 years was mind blowing!! And the best bands of the time recognized Sebastian .
Sebastian Bach is a great singer, yeah, but what really makes him special is the beautiful clean voice then the aggressive singing with heat, freaking badass Heavy Metal voice the heat is on!
To be honest, I couldn’t name one member of Skid Row besides Bach. I’m sure I’m in the majority And if the Kiss story is true, they screwed up. Bach was right
In an interview, one of their producers, i think Wagener, said Bach confronted him years later. "You stole my publishing," Bach said. The producer had to tell him that he didnt have any publishing because he never wrote any songs. Million-dollar voice and a ten-cent bran.
Doc McGhee told him that on that show Supergroup he was on, when Bach was whining about it, and he was talking about the only album he produced for them which was the self titled. Bach gets no credits for Skid Row the first album only. Doc was like you don't get any publishing if you don't write anything. He had a slight credit on Makin' a Mess. The cd says slight credit.
The bad part about rock ‘n’ roll stars is that when you come across a Tom Brady Michael Jordon or Joe Montana (Sebastian, Bach, Rob Halford or Steve Perry..the rest of the team can’t just vote him out because they don’t like him for some reason. Because without them men, they’re just like every other band or team out there, and they need those men to reach the levels. They would never be able to without them.
despite all the stupid drama out there Bach was the voice of that band and the voice that landed their biggest hits off those 1st 2 albums period........
should've would've could've. The only singer they brought in worth a shit was Tony Harnell. Fact is Bach was the vocalist that sang those hits and made them or rather helped to make the band that cash. Just like Perry is Journey period nSchon is just a dick.
Sebastian used to look 10 years younger than me now he looks ten years older than me and I'm 62 but I only drink one beer whenever I do drink and smoked weed occasionally
There is a guy on YT, Henning Pauly who did an entire album back in 2005 and hired Bach to sing on it. Bach tried to claim it was his solo album when in reality it was Henning's album with Bach a hired gun. I think Henning said Bach attempted to or did sue him over royalties. I remember Henning saying Bach is a great singer but a POS human being.
That "Frameshift" album is amazingly good, but one can definitely tell it was NOT the brainchild of Bach. He's just no where near that good a musician or writer.
Go see Sebastian Bach live. He just loves to sing and play music. I saw him after Skid row break up and was blown away. Bach is a true rocker. Music is all that matters. He really doesn’t care about money. Always a great show and he’s awesome.
I attended a Skid Row show In the mid or late 90s , right before the wheels fell off. It was crazy seeing a platinum selling band playing for a crowd of maybe 300 in a building with 3,000 seat capacity. There was hardly anyone there. I felt embarrassed for the band but it was a great show.
At some point you just have to be honest with yourself and everyone around you. Your young badass days are over. Your old and hopefully wiser. Accept and move on. Be thankful for what you had and show some dignity.
Not a huge fan of skid row, but one thing runs through throughout rock, the front man carries the band with a few rare exceptions. There are many good bass players and it's probably not that hard to replace one, even in a high-level band.
I loved early Skid Row and we all know lead singers can get a bit large headed. But they were great for their time... Soundgarden opened for Skid Row a couple times, and we saw where music went after that... For me that ended up being the best. Times change and music changes.
vocalists vs band members. band members are always jealous of vocalists, yes, they are all talented, etc. etc, but, the voice is the number 1 thing in a band. you can change guitarist/drummer/bassist 100 times and no one will notice it, but you change the vocalist and that band becomes a new band immediately. sorry for all the musicians but you have to accept this fact. plus, when they have a huge charisma and personality like sebastian, you will always stay behind his light. sebastian is skid row.
As a professional Hard Rock singer, I can tell you the things he did vocally were absolutely next level. No one can touch him. The closest anyone has come is Lzzy Hale but no male singers. I can get extremely technical about it, but that would probably be a waste unless someone really knew about singing.
There’s no love lost whatsoever between Skid Row and Sebastian Bach, it’s really sad, because they had chemistry musically and yes they had their differences, but if the two camps can’t work with each other, what’s the point.
I couldn't agree more that TV show super group with Ted Nugent, Scott,Jason Bonham I could tell why they broke up dude didn't grow up he's a self centered 10 year old,l couldn't work with him and that show scared good musicians away from doing anything with him his band now sucks because he couldn't get any good players
@@rayfabris2512 that's exactly the show I judged him from, not to mention the time he threw the bottle back in the crowd and hit some girl in the face, who later sued him. He was so childish on that show, and even as egotistical as Ted is, and he couldn't get along with him! He's very childish!
Bach looks like that grandma that smokes three packs a day, drinks heavily, but flaunts around like she's a sexy 20 year old because she got her hair done.
I hung out with Skid Row in Nashville when they were making a demo in Mt. Juliet with Bob Rock and a different singer than Sebastian, Scottie was very cool, Rob was beyond awesome, Rachel was a complete and total Douche to EVERYONE, so bad in fact that one time I just started laughing at him, he asked what I was laughing at, and I said, I am laughing at you, because you are just a joke of a human being. Snake thought he was too cool to even hang out at all. Snake is childhood bro's with Jovi so he thinks he is royalty, and Rachel sucks him off I would guess.
Too bad Bach couldn't do the KISS gig with a backup band like Axl, Ozzy, or KISS. The voice is sound of the band, you replace that and it's a different band, unless you've got a musician like EVH. In fact he deserves the name Skid Row more than the current band. Most musicians and artists are slightly insane, that's why they're interesting to watch.
I saw him a few years ago in Edmonton. Super friendly and his voice is still amazing. It was a great experience. Also, he still has that beautiful head of hair.
If he's half as irritating in real life as he was on the Trailer Park Boys, I'm surprised they didn't drive off while he was taking a piss on the side of a highway in the middle of nowhere.
I like the guy. People gotta remember you had a group of 20somethings,who came from nothing,thrust in the spotlight,handed millions and add in managers,agents and hangers on telling each one what ever....it's a recipe for walking the razors edge. Add in a probably bi polar,hugely talented front man....and they fell off the wrong side .
It sounds ridiculous to say, but as the vocalist in a STP tribute, I’ve run into the same problems. If you want the best musicians, they expect to be paid to rehearse and a minimum for shows as if they are “session” guys. People: this is why most unsigned bands suck that you see locally or in clubs. It’s economics.
Let's say it's just hard to be a band and stay a band. I'm against choosing a camp, they all have their skills, personality, ego. Who am I to judge anyone. As a guitarist these two are underrated guitarists.
SB cannot be a normal person. He wasn't made that way. It gets him in a lot of trouble. Without any doubt he is a gifted singer. But sometimes, that isn't enough. He did things his way as Frank would say.
I’m a drummer, and I feel rob Is very underrated! The 2nd and especially the third album had some great drummer in it! It’s hard to be young and on a band, Bach was how old on the first record! 18?
Sebastian Bach was one the best Metal singers ever! His personality is larger than life. Bas was and always will be Skid Row…the others guys? Who cares.
In opinion its not the same without Sebastian Bach from the beginning he was the main guy with strong vocals and inspiring songs and lyrics. You Guys need to work things out and let by gone be by gones you only get one chance in life make the best of it as you may regret it later. Sebastian Bach is a good vocalist and I feel that there should be a reunion with all original members that is how I feel about it. Now you have a new vocalist for the band it's not the same I'm sorry guys back in the days with Sebastian you guys rocked now it's like nothing and not the same anymore no vibes no nothing it's sad😢. Wish you all the best be safe God Bless

Holy shit.... when I saw this photo I thought it was Linda Tripp, Monica Lewinsky ex-friend.
I have to say after being married to a semi famous drummer who had his share of bands thats been on tour did vidoes on MTV in the 80s and 90s but all band mates have problems with each other. They all have big egos and they all have ideas they think is best so they clash. The biggest thing I noticed its the egos that get in the way. I love my husband married 28 yrs but he had a big ego when it came to music he always wanted things his way and so did the other band mates. Every band has its clashing moments and many cant get over it... musicians are a different breed wild crazy big egos and a lot of fun. I guess all that craziness is what make us love our favorite bands and we hate it when they're no longer together.
How I miss those days 80s and 90s where great times. Meet my husband in the early 90s crazy ass musician that stold my heart we were crazy in love thru all the craziness. He passed away a few months ago how I miss his crazy ass. A musician that actually stay married and truly loved me.
You're right about musicians usually having big egos. While I'm a humble person, I also had to do my own thing and didn't like sharing a musical vision with other band members. So I just do my music and release albums as studio projects.
Sorry for loss but what band if I may ask?
Sebastin Bach made Skid Row! ❤SB is Skid Row
One of the best bands ever… my high school years wouldn’t have been the same without them.. all amazing memories
Big Guns, always cranked at the ice skating rink in '89 '90
Sebastian is a rock ICON!
No he’s not … he’s a singer who uses his time to complain about the past and his band instead of just putting something out worthwhile … he’s very close to being a “ complaining sad” artist
Skid Row is nothing without Bach
💯
And vice versa.
Yeah, because the last Skid Row album didnt post in the top 5 in 4 countries and top 20 in 9. LOLOL This dude is a douche and only has hmself to blame for being an out of tune has been now. He was over rated and he didnt even last 3 albums before being yesterdays news
I just saw Bach & they were really great! Plus, who would cancel a tour with KISS?!?! What an asshole & what kind of dude is named Rachel 😂
Narcissistic assholes let their egos destroy everything sadly . Dan Vasc could front them as good as Sebastian but thet haven't auditioned him.
I’m 49 and that said 18 and life and I remember you and while other more unknown songs were on the radio when I was 15. The way Sebastian sang and I remember you brings to mind my youth ,meeting my ex-wife at the end of that summer before the album dropped and everything else that’s happened in life since. I love this song and I love the way Sebastian sang with such emotion let’s be real , If it wasn’t for him there would have never been a Skid Row. We would’ve never heard of that band.
I got into a small argument with Bach on Twitter and of course was banned. Arrogant is an understatement and clueless about reality.
Hey, it's not his personality we care about, it's his amazing singing we love 💕
Sebastian is a handful. He’s filterless. He’s more talented than anybody’s is allowed to be and we love him. They were kids back then and I think he would do better now - especially for a single reunion tour - he wants it so bad. He also knows he can still sing those same songs that he has for 35 years with or without them.
That’s the whole problem. He’s a handful and everybody’s tired of it. He antagonizes people if he changes that he’d be perfect and they probably could have a reunion.
@@robinberg3888 they will never reunite. They go through singers quicker than they do Charmin. Sebastian doesn’t need them and they don’t want him. And anyone who actually loves Sebastian doesn’t want him to change in anyway. He has come a million miles in his 50s even more than his 40s. He has apologized for his regrets. He owes nobody anything
I was a BIG fan of Skid Row back in the 80's but now today Skid Row will never be Awesome without Sebastian Bach ever again!!
This is another example of young talented guys that caught lightning in a bottle but didn't have enough maturity by understanding or guidance to see through the valleys of a musical career.. Aerosmith Black Sabbath all the greats I've always had issues look at the Rolling Stones The Who Etc they all saw through the crap and grinded on for the greater good of the band the fans and their income.
Bach is Skid Row. Without him Im not interested in the band. They just dont really matter, they weren't the star of the show.
I saw skid row in the summer of 1988 with Tesla opening at the Orange County Speedway in Middletown NY. Both bands were stellar. Stellar. Perfect hard rock music. Both bands were extremely hungry, fierce, and tight. I'll always remember that show.
That's a good show the best new years eve show was at the cowpalace in SF the lineup was Dokken,Y&T with DIO headlining that was a metal show there's others but that one comes to mind 1st
The singer for Tesla sounds terrible and has for 30 years. God awful stuff.
I heard Matt slater sucked off the whole band on the tour bus.
I was there. I'm also a Warwick alumni
@@davevrox3023 is this a reply to my comment?
Rachel thought Skid Row was too big to open for KISS in 1996.
NO. YOU WEREN'T.
Bless your soul Rob Affuso. Thank you for trying
Live he can fkn sing and if you go watch their British concert when they toured after hitting big.
His singing was amazing and it still blows me away today
Truth! I went to see them in the 90's when they opened for Pantera and it was absolutely unforgettable.
Bach looking like a hermit grandmother in the thumbnail
Snake Sabo is in rock circles one of the most popular and well liked musicians. I mean everybody likes the guy. Even an executive from Skid Row’s old label wrote of Snake’s thoughtfulness when her parent died and he attended the wake. She wrote he was a totally great guy and a class act. If Snake says Bach is a jackass then based on all the people who sing high praise of Snake Sabo I’d believe it.
Snake is a GREAT guitarist. Highly underrated.
Sabo never cared about the fans or being rich. Two diffrent personalities, Bach and Snake.
Snake Sabo is the real deal. He’s also a businessman and successful road manager (he’s managed multiple Zakk Wylde/BLS tours. Bach shouldn’t have signed his publishing rights over to Jon Bon Jovi 🤷🏻♂️
@@lisamitchell2949 they used to hang out at The Button South in Hallandale Florida around the time their friends Saigon Kick were coming up. Dave, Scotty, and Rob were sooooo nice. Rachel was a bit standoffish. I worked with his cousin, who used to ask me to give him messages. It was clear that Rachel was not enthused. Bach was around sometimes, usually doing something silly like collecting girl's panties ad putting them on the hedges of the Denny's across the street. Strange times.
Bach is a knob head. He is an amazing singer and they didn't recover after him and they knew they wouldn't, but a saint couldn't stick the guy. Hands down one of the worst divas in the industry.
I believe Eddie best coined the phrase when asked about why Van Halen broke up. He said Roth suffers from LSD, Lead Singers Disease. Egos are fed by success and sometimes you forget the hard work and collaboration and enjoyment it took when you were unknown.
But then Sammy left under the same circumstances and took Michael Anthony with him. Seems Eddie was the common denominator and his ego was the problem. The only people that didn’t leave were his brother and son.
roth is a pile, ive worked at his house and his sister is freakin nuts
Skid Row was successful BECAUSE OF Sebastian, by his vocals, looks and attitude. He was the one hanging out with the best. Obviously have great songs but with Sebastian could do at that time at 19 years was mind blowing!! And the best bands of the time recognized Sebastian .
Bach makes good friend with Axl Rose. for me, that says a lot.
True. Any friend of Axl's is a friend of the world.
Best duo ever. Stellar, genuine good hearted people.
Sebastian Bach is a great singer, yeah, but what really makes him special is the beautiful clean voice then the aggressive singing with heat, freaking badass Heavy Metal voice the heat is on!
So glad Stevie Ray Vaughan just wanted to play music. And what a mighty job he did.
Yeah so much he's dead.
Sebastian and I are about the same age. Rocked with him and skid row back in 89. Great voice and a true Rock God. Love ya man.
I saw Skid Row open for Bon Jovi way back in the day.. it was FKNG 🔥🔥🔥. I miss the old line up 🔥
me too ,amazing!!
Saw that tour at the Rosemont Horizon in Chicago.
To be honest, I couldn’t name one member of Skid Row besides Bach. I’m sure I’m in the majority
And if the Kiss story is true, they screwed up. Bach was right
In an interview, one of their producers, i think Wagener, said Bach confronted him years later. "You stole my publishing," Bach said. The producer had to tell him that he didnt have any publishing because he never wrote any songs. Million-dollar voice and a ten-cent bran.
So , Michael Wagener said SB never wrote ANY songs ? What an thieving, deceptive industry .. I don't disbelieve Sebastian, He wrote MAM.
Doc McGhee told him that on that show Supergroup he was on, when Bach was whining about it, and he was talking about the only album he produced for them which was the self titled. Bach gets no credits for Skid Row the first album only. Doc was like you don't get any publishing if you don't write anything. He had a slight credit on Makin' a Mess. The cd says slight credit.
I’m going to see him in a local club next month and I’m excited. I’m an 80’s girl and always loved him.
The bad part about rock ‘n’ roll stars is that when you come across a Tom Brady Michael Jordon or Joe Montana (Sebastian, Bach,
Rob Halford or Steve Perry..the rest of the team can’t just vote him out because they don’t like him for some reason. Because without them men, they’re just like every other band or team out there, and they need those men to reach the levels. They would never be able to without them.
despite all the stupid drama out there Bach was the voice of that band and the voice that landed their biggest hits off those 1st 2 albums period........
Yep, without Bach, Skid Row would have been just that ... another skid stain on the panties of Rock and Roll.
Hits shmits
@@deanrobbins8102 And if they hadn't hired him in the first place we probably never would've known who Bach was? You have to look at it both ways.
should've would've could've. The only singer they brought in worth a shit was Tony Harnell. Fact is Bach was the vocalist that sang those hits and made them or rather helped to make the band that cash. Just like Perry is Journey period nSchon is just a dick.
I saw them open for BonJovi in Philadelphia in 1989. I remember it well. The 18 and Life era 💗
I was at that show also. Great times and memories. Joe t
Sebastian used to look 10 years younger than me now he looks ten years older than me and I'm 62 but I only drink one beer whenever I do drink and smoked weed occasionally
Skid Row is coming to play in my hometown soon. But without Bach it’s not considered Skid Row to me
He is a badass performer
That thumbnail pic looks exactly like a woman who bartends at a local American Legion where I live.
There is a guy on YT, Henning Pauly who did an entire album back in 2005 and hired Bach to sing on it. Bach tried to claim it was his solo album when in reality it was Henning's album with Bach a hired gun. I think Henning said Bach attempted to or did sue him over royalties. I remember Henning saying Bach is a great singer but a POS human being.
That "Frameshift" album is amazingly good, but one can definitely tell it was NOT the brainchild of Bach. He's just no where near that good a musician or writer.
Whats YT?
@@heatherdavishasaids TH-cam
@@heatherdavishasaids You Tube dummy..lol
@@heatherdavishasaids Yours Truly
Wish it didn't have to be so dramatic.these guys are some of my favorites🔥
Skid row and poison were top 2 hair bands when i graduated motley crue was our schools favorite
Go see Sebastian Bach live. He just loves to sing and play music. I saw him after Skid row break up and was blown away. Bach is a true rocker. Music is all that matters. He really doesn’t care about money. Always a great show and he’s awesome.
I am really sad this all went all... I feel bad for Sebastian. I love Youth Gone Wild because of Sebastian.
I attended a Skid Row show In the mid or late 90s , right before the wheels fell off. It was crazy seeing a platinum selling band playing for a crowd of maybe 300 in a building with 3,000 seat capacity. There was hardly anyone there. I felt embarrassed for the band but it was a great show.
At some point you just have to be honest with yourself and everyone around you. Your young badass days are over. Your old and hopefully wiser. Accept and move on. Be thankful for what you had and show some dignity.
Not a huge fan of skid row, but one thing runs through throughout rock, the front man carries the band with a few rare exceptions. There are many good bass players and it's probably not that hard to replace one, even in a high-level band.
Sebastian IS Skid Row!
I loved early Skid Row and we all know lead singers can get a bit large headed. But they were great for their time... Soundgarden opened for Skid Row a couple times, and we saw where music went after that... For me that ended up being the best. Times change and music changes.
Damn, that guy looks 20 yrs older than his age.
vocalists vs band members. band members are always jealous of vocalists, yes, they are all talented, etc. etc, but, the voice is the number 1 thing in a band. you can change guitarist/drummer/bassist 100 times and no one will notice it, but you change the vocalist and that band becomes a new band immediately. sorry for all the musicians but you have to accept this fact. plus, when they have a huge charisma and personality like sebastian, you will always stay behind his light. sebastian is skid row.
Bach was, is, and will always be a legend in his own mind.
He is a lead singer, so that is common.
And you will never be anything
As a professional Hard Rock singer, I can tell you the things he did vocally were absolutely next level. No one can touch him. The closest anyone has come is Lzzy Hale but no male singers. I can get extremely technical about it, but that would probably be a waste unless someone really knew about singing.
@@denislanza6228 Glenn Hughes at 71 years old. Myles Kennedy. Just a couple
@@gary6676 Myles Kennedy sounds like a Leprechaun.
I think he’s hilarious, charismatic, fun, amazing singer and I think it’s rad he’s having his moment!
There’s no love lost whatsoever between Skid Row and Sebastian Bach, it’s really sad, because they had chemistry musically and yes they had their differences, but if the two camps can’t work with each other, what’s the point.
I'm a stage mgr for So Cal.
Have worked with SB. It's quite obvious why they don't want him back...
Whys that?
@@harrybalz525 He suffers from LSD. Lead singers diseae
@@harrybalz525whenever someone says that about a famous person, it's because they are a giant asshole.
He gets along very well with children, because he never grew up, and he's a child himself.
Maybe his only friend is dead Michael Jackson.
He should start a band with Tommy Lee. He also thinks he's still 23
I couldn't agree more that TV show super group with Ted Nugent, Scott,Jason Bonham I could tell why they broke up dude didn't grow up he's a self centered 10 year old,l couldn't work with him and that show scared good musicians away from doing anything with him his band now sucks because he couldn't get any good players
@@rayfabris2512 that's exactly the show I judged him from, not to mention the time he threw the bottle back in the crowd and hit some girl in the face, who later sued him. He was so childish on that show, and even as egotistical as Ted is, and he couldn't get along with him! He's very childish!
@@gregorydavidson177 it's sad because he can sing
To hell with skid row, congrats Sebastian....
lol! Skid row is too big to open for KISS? That’s hilarious. Bach made a good call signing up for that. Great promotion for the band.
Bach looks like that grandma that smokes three packs a day, drinks heavily, but flaunts around like she's a sexy 20 year old because she got her hair done.
That was the best description written and so true 🤣🤣👌🏼
😂🤣😂😂 dead on description!!
Spot On !!!!!! LMAO
God what happened to his face.
Hasn’t aged well, those Viking genes didn’t help him at all (yes he has Norwegian ancestry)
You made him look like Senator Palpatine in the thumbnail lol
We were never heard about skid row, without Sebastian.
I hung out with Skid Row in Nashville when they were making a demo in Mt. Juliet with Bob Rock and a different singer than Sebastian, Scottie was very cool, Rob was beyond awesome, Rachel was a complete and total Douche to EVERYONE, so bad in fact that one time I just started laughing at him, he asked what I was laughing at, and I said, I am laughing at you, because you are just a joke of a human being. Snake thought he was too cool to even hang out at all. Snake is childhood bro's with Jovi so he thinks he is royalty, and Rachel sucks him off I would guess.
Ya, he was definitely real pr**k, but man, what a voice Sebastian had. He will go down as one of the legends of metal frontmen
Skid row was lucky to have had S. Bach as there frontman. 🙉
He was lucky they hired him in the first place because if they hadn't, we never would have even heard of Bach. Js
Name a Skid Row song not sung by Bach?
Exactly.
Too bad Bach couldn't do the KISS gig with a backup band like Axl, Ozzy, or KISS. The voice is sound of the band, you replace that and it's a different band, unless you've got a musician like EVH. In fact he deserves the name Skid Row more than the current band. Most musicians and artists are slightly insane, that's why they're interesting to watch.
I saw him a few years ago in Edmonton. Super friendly and his voice is still amazing. It was a great experience. Also, he still has that beautiful head of hair.
Well,..it was fun while it lasted!!! Thanks for the great music!!! 💔
If he's half as irritating in real life as he was on the Trailer Park Boys, I'm surprised they didn't drive off while he was taking a piss on the side of a highway in the middle of nowhere.
Ralph was a great guy and amazing guitar player
He was great on Gilmore Girls!
I loved him on Gilmore Girls! LOL
🤣😂
I like the guy.
People gotta remember you had a group of 20somethings,who came from nothing,thrust in the spotlight,handed millions and add in managers,agents and hangers on telling each one what ever....it's a recipe for walking the razors edge. Add in a probably bi polar,hugely talented front man....and they fell off the wrong side .
I always thought that he would be so easy to get along with...Like Axl or Vince Neil or Gene Simmons or David Lee Roth. Who would have known?
It sounds ridiculous to say, but as the vocalist in a STP tribute, I’ve run into the same problems. If you want the best musicians, they expect to be paid to rehearse and a minimum for shows as if they are “session” guys. People: this is why most unsigned bands suck that you see locally or in clubs. It’s economics.
Let's say it's just hard to be a band and stay a band.
I'm against choosing a camp, they all have their skills, personality, ego. Who am I to judge anyone.
As a guitarist these two are underrated guitarists.
SB cannot be a normal person. He wasn't made that way. It gets him in a lot of trouble. Without any doubt he is a gifted singer. But sometimes, that isn't enough.
He did things his way as Frank would say.
I’m a drummer, and I feel rob Is very underrated! The 2nd and especially the third album had some great drummer in it! It’s hard to be young and on a band, Bach was how old on the first record! 18?
Sebastian Bach is an always will be the voice of Skid Row, he was the Youth Gone Wild!!!
Sebastian Bach was one the best Metal singers ever! His personality is larger than life. Bas was and always will be Skid Row…the others guys? Who cares.
He’s awesome. Stand up guy and loves his fans. Still rocks it out of the park. Go see him!!!!
In opinion its not the same without Sebastian Bach from the beginning he was the main guy with strong vocals and inspiring songs and lyrics. You Guys need to work things out and let by gone be by gones you only get one chance in life make the best of it as you may regret it later. Sebastian Bach is a good vocalist and I feel that there should be a reunion with all original members that is how I feel about it. Now you have a new vocalist for the band it's not the same I'm sorry guys back in the days with Sebastian you guys rocked now it's like nothing and not the same anymore no vibes no nothing it's sad😢. Wish you all the best be safe God Bless
Erik Grönwall is the best version since early Skid Row. I would rather watch Skid Row with Erik today 👍🏼
🎯
Agreed!
