This song is about Steven Adler, the original Guns n Roses drummer. he was kicked out of GnR cause of his massive heroin addiction. After that he had a stroke and heart attack. he's alive and sober now but has a problem with his speech.
such an amazingly sad story and Sebastian really gives you the feels with this, i've lived this in a way its so hard to watch somebody you love basicly destory themselves i cry so hard when i hear this song it takes me days to get over one listen
Wow. How about that. I have a very convoluted GnR/Slaughter/Bon Jovi/Skid Row connection: For starters, I think everybody knows that there would've never been a Skid Row without Bon Jovi. Several years ago, I became good friends with Phil Varone (Saigon Kick drummer) when he was playing with Skid Row and we would chat for hours at night. (My husband thought it was kinda cool that a rock star had the hots for his wife ~LOL~.) One evening, in fact, Phil was quite excited because they'd just had dinner at Jon Bon Jovi's house, which blew his mind. I even got to chat with Snake that night. At that same time, I had a roadie friend I'd met through Slaughter and he was now with Bon Jovi. That Thanksgiving, I got to party with Skid Row after an Atlanta concert, but Bas was no longer with them. 😢 A few years ago, Steven Adler had his own band, Adler, and my friend Jacob Bunton was his lead singer and the man who kept him out of trouble. That's just an example of how small the world can be.
Sebastian Bach, just reaches a vocal level few can touch, and then he adds unmatched emotion to it. I don’t see how he’s not a top 5 rock vocalist of all-time on anyone’s list.
Skid Row frontman Sebastian Bach wrote the lyrics to this song about his friend Steven Adler, who was the original drummer for Guns N' Roses. Adler had a severe heroin addiction that affected his performance, and the band fired him in 1990. He struggled with addiction for most of his life, even appearing on the TV show Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew in 2008. Yes horse is a name for heroin !! Steven is actually doing really good now ! He came back and beat it real good so Far !
This is my favourite Skid Row song because it's so deep. I love how Sebastian can sing the hell out of anything and apart from Steven Tyler I've never seen another singer like him.
I have heard that over the years as well, and I am happy as heck to report that Steven is indeed alive & well. A close friend of mine traveled nearly 13 hours back in May 2019 to see Autograph open up for Steven Adler's Appetite for Destruction (solo band playing GnR songs from that album). The show was in Pennsylvania and we were fortunate enough to meet Steven and hang out backstage before the show - super cool, approachable, and beautiful spirit y'all! He does have some slurred speech goin' on, but man...he can still play his kit with skill and ease. So good.
Such a shame as Gnr were never the same after Steven was kicked out. The current line up is just a circus, nothing like the gritty, dirty rock n roll the original five produced.
Love the epilogue. It rings especially true for me. i'm 7.5 years clean from a decade long opiate/benzodiazepine addiction. That doesn't make me a better person than anyone else embroiled in their own battle, but I'm living, breathing proof that it CAN be done. When this song came out, I was in grade 8 and I fell in love with it thinking "I'll never let that happen to myself". Well, it happened. My only advice is do what I did, never give up hope that colour will come back into the world one day. Fight the good fight. Much love.
1 day at a time my brother, it's a constant struggle, but still worth the daily battle. For me I've been clean and sober for 30+ yrs and still it's a battle.
Wasted Time, In a Darkened Room & Quicksand Jesus are possibly the best songs of that generation and it’s all on one album. Sebastian could hit notes so out of range from regular singers. Absolutely incredible
Sebastian has done things on Broadway, Phantom of the opera, and Jesus Christ Superstar. He's very diverse, and under rated. He was also very smart about marketing himself, and investing his money. Not a dumb rockstar. He still performs with his solo band. And still has his voice.
Not sure where you're hearing him still hitting the high notes. Everything I've heard from him lately is awful. And he used to be my favorite male singer.
@@spongedebfatpants1308 Okay. He can still hit more than most singers his age. He does earn respect for not dropping the keys to make the notes easier to hit. I hate to see aging singers feel the need to do that.
This song just rips me apart every time I hear it. I lost someone very close to me 20 years ago. Every line of this song is so hard to hear because it's so close to my situation. The feeling that I couldve and should've done more but didn't. 😭
Sebastian would always give me chills the way he used his unbelievable range, the emotion he pulls out of their lyrics with his singing and the emotion he'd have in his handsome face.☺💙
This song always reminds me of my best friend, Alan. We were super tight, and I joined the Navy and lost touch due to distance. But even when this song was released he was on the path to follow the theme of this song, which he ultimately did. Tears me up every time I hear it.
Sebastian went and spent a year+ on Broadway playing Jekyll & Hyde. BROADWAY. But yeah, this is about Steven Adler - his close friend and drummer for Guns N’ Roses. It’s sad, man.
Hey man, you should try In a Darkned Room, by Skid Row... It's about child abuse, and many people claim that this song help them to passing through... Cheers from Brazil man...
My favorite song by them. Bach’s voice is so powerful on this one. Great choice, Great reaction. You were exactly right about the meaning of this song. I can feel it also when he sings.
Yes, Jamel. “The horse stampedes and rages.” Horse is a street slang for heroin. Another commenter already mentioned that this was written about/for Steven Adler, the original drummer for Guns and Roses who was kicked out because of his heroin addiction. Interestingly, bass player Rachel Bolan who helped write the song calls it “the biggest piece of shit we ever recorded.” I definitely can’t agree with him.
Rachel holds a lot of animosity towards Sebastian, even still after all these years, so I think anytime Sebastian shines, Rachel gets tetchy about it. And yeah, Skid Row without Sebastian is... not worth it. Sebastian on the other hand is out there being the same as always.
The lead singer, Sebastian Bach, his father was a famous artist, his sister was a super model and his brother played professional hockey as goaltender in the NHL. A very talented family.
Candlebox "Far Behind" is a heartbreaker about losing a friend to drugs. I'm holding back tears listening to this. It's been a while since I've heard it 🥺
I have lost so many beautiful souls in my life from drugs. I've been clean 4 15 yrs. Most of my childhood friends are gone. That's why I remain clean. R.I.P. allmy beautiful souls ❣️
I have a love/hate relationship with this song. I love the vocals and lyrics, but it pains me to hear this song because I used to slam speed with a friend in high school. God saved me from my addiction, but my friend overdosed before he was 20. This song always brings me to tears.
Great reaction, amazing song. I loved it as a teenager and I'm still moved by it whenever I hear it somewhere. I think this song was one of the reasons I never tried harder drugs, even if I had friends who did in my late teenage years. Greetings from Germany!
Thanks for reviewing Skid Row, a band that really captured pure energy, talent, showmanship, anthems, of rock and roll .. this was the epitomy of rock and roll, fun, dangerous, energetic, emotional, Skid Row (for two albums) got it, like none other.
Lyrics You and I together in our lives Sacred ties would never fray Then why can I let myself tell lies And watch you die every day? I think back to the times When dreams were what mattered Though talking youth naivete You said you'd never let me down But the horse stampedes and rages In the name of desperation Is it all just wasted time? Can you look at yourself When you think of what You left behind? Is it all just wasted time? Can you live with yourself When you think of what You've left behind? Paranoid delusions they haunt you Where's my friend I used to know? He's all alone, he's buried deep within A carcass searching for a soul Can you feel me inside Your heart as it's bleeding Why can't you believe You can be loved I hear you scream in agony And the horse stampedes and rages In the name of desperation Is it all just wasted time? Can you look at yourself When you think of what You left behind? Is it all just wasted time? Can you live with yourself When you think of what You've left behind? You said you'd never let me down But the horse stampedes and rages In the name of desperation Is it all just wasted time? Can you look at yourself When you think of what You left behind? Is it all just wasted time? Can you live with yourself When you think of what You've left behind? The sun will rise again The earth will turn to sand Creation's colors seem to fade to grey And you'll see the silky hands of time Will write your final rhyme And end our memory Oh, no! I never thought you'd let it get this far, boy Oh, I never thought I never thought you'd let it get this far, boy Oh, no! I never thought I never thought you'd let it get this far, boy No! I never thought you'd let it get this far, boy
My brother was a drug addict for most of my life. He doesn't 27 years in prison and is finally out. He's a truck driver and doing really good! ❤️ Thank God!!!
The song is about Sebastian Bach's friend, Steven Adler, the drummer for Guns N' Roses. He was using heroin a lot at the time and this was Sebastian's pleas for him to stop.
Just found your channel tonight & loving going through all the old metal songs from my childhood. 90’s rock was the best!!! See had THE best voice for rock ballads. Please keep doing rock/metal songs 😎
Probably my favorite song by the Skids. They really knew how to paint/color a picture with their lyrics and instruments. Very powerful tune that reaches out and grabs you like no other song does. Shout out for a really tasty gtr solo. Fits so well in this song. I met a couple of these guys in a gogo bar in Asbury Park one night. Tracey Guns was with them. They just came from Rachel Bolens' wedding. Nice guys too.
Again, I never thought about the background story or this song but you’re right on. Horse or H is a name for heroin. You’re reaction is spot on! Great reaction! Thank you for bringing Skid Row back into my life. Their music is great music to work out to!
Sebastian Bach um grande vocalista, aliás o maior vocalista. Sem Sebastian Skid Row se acabou, cometeram um erro fatal. Sempre amaremos Sebastian um lindo anjo na terra,
Sebastian Bach is a great vocalist, indeed the greatest vocalist. Without Sebastian Skid Row is over, they made a fatal mistake. We will always love Sebastian a beautiful angel on earth,
Yes, bro...Slave to the Grind...gotta do it now. Really you have little choice and trust us here...you will love it! Thanks man and keep up the good work. One of the top five if not best reaction channels out there!
Skid Row was my favorite rock band when I was an early teenager!!! Slave to the grind is of the best hard rock/metal albums I've ever heard... Snake & Bolan we're very good songwritters with deep lyrics ... And of course, Bach got of most powerful voices in rock. Skid Row was a great rock band: voices, compositions, solos, drums, all the band no doubt.... Love them even their musical career was very brief!!!
You’re reaction was so true and real to this song. This is such an amazing song by SR cause it’s from the heart and like you said, you can hear the pain in Sebastian’s voice. Out of all the reactors to this song, yours was by far the most relatable the way you understood and explained it. Thanks and keep up the great reactions friend!
Seen Sebastian Bach in concert with axle rose and the other guns and roses band when slash etc. Were beefing with him. The new "guns" still slayed and Sebastian played all the skid row classics. Was a great time and really first and only concert with my bro.
I like many songs from Skid Row, but I want to say this is one of the top songs from the band. This song talks about specific things that happened, but it can be applied to one outside the lyrics. It is a song that talks about a first person view, but can be seen in a third person of oneself. It really makes you think from the story and yourself. Moving from the philosophical view.
And also , yeah . Your'e right about the heroin/horse connection . So many good people lost to it . Most just trying to escape inner turmoil . It is such a shame
This song makes me think of my now ex-husband. After 20 years of marriage and 2 children we divorced. I tried for years to help him cope with alcoholism. I finally decided for the mental health of our children to love him from a far. I continue to pray that one day he will overcome those demons. It's been 3 years and I continue to check up on him and encourage him. Addiction is a horrible thing to watch someone go through. Thank you for the amazing reactions and keeping great music alive.

Brother Sebastian Bach has THE voice for power ballads. His ability to carry a note for a day and a half is beyond incredible.
'I remember you'
AMEN TO THAT
This song is about Steven Adler, the original Guns n Roses drummer. he was kicked out of GnR cause of his massive heroin addiction. After that he had a stroke and heart attack. he's alive and sober now but has a problem with his speech.
such an amazingly sad story and Sebastian really gives you the feels with this, i've lived this in a way its so hard to watch somebody you love basicly destory themselves i cry so hard when i hear this song it takes me days to get over one listen

Agree
Well ...He is in my top 15...There are just to many great singers to really rank them correctly...
Skid row was the most underrated bands of the late 80s
My favorite “80’s” band!
1988-1992 actually
@@fasteddie777666 Not all Skid Row fans like their "Subhuman Race" album but I like it too so its 3 albums for me
Their debut album alone stayed in the charts for years I don't think you could consider that an underrated band
Candlebox is also underrated. Alter bridge underrated. Nothing but great music
Skid Row frontman Sebastian Bach wrote the lyrics to this song about his friend Steven Adler, who was the original drummer for Guns N' Roses. Adler had a severe heroin addiction that affected his performance, and the band fired him in 1990. He struggled with addiction for most of his life, even appearing on the TV show Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew in 2008. Yes horse is a name for heroin !! Steven is actually doing really good now ! He came back and beat it real good so Far !
A carcass searching for a soul!!! 🤯 absolutely haunting lyrics!
One of the best vocal performances by one of the best vocalists of the era. That man's voice was/is FIRE!
This is my favourite Skid Row song because it's so deep. I love how Sebastian can sing the hell out of anything and apart from Steven Tyler I've never seen another singer like him.
Sebastian Bach could strip the paint off of a wall just from hus voice, and this song proves it.
Lovin’ the Skid Row train you’re on! Their “Slave to the Grind” should be next, if ya wanna. 🤘😁
Such an underrated song!
The whole Slave to the Grind album was killer
Well I wont be the one left behind!
Slave To The Grind is a real rockin tune.
@@js6729 Agreed!
Sebastian Bach was 1 in a trillion. He sings with so much power and emotion. Never be anyone better!!
“Bruh.” Just says it all, Jamel, you share his pain because you share his humanity.
well said
I’d love to see a reaction to In a Darkened Room by Skid Row. A highlight of theirs for sure
Yes Sebastian has said the song was written about Steven Adler who was the former drummer for guns and roses & was fired for his heroin addiction
Really? I didn't know that. Interesting! Thanks for sharing.
@@KrisThroughGlass YW 👍🏻

One of my all time favorites its one of the most powerful songs ever and Sebastiáns vocals make it everything.
Sebastian has done things on Broadway, Phantom of the opera, and Jesus Christ Superstar. He's very diverse, and under rated. He was also very smart about marketing himself, and investing his money. Not a dumb rockstar. He still performs with his solo band. And still has his voice.
He was never in Phantom, but he was in Jekkyl and Hyde, rocky Horror, and JCS. I was fortunate enough to see all three.
This song is a masterpiece! No one sings like Baz anymore.
He sang his ass off on this!
I've always considered him the best vocalist from the entire hair band era.
Not even Baz sings like Baz anymore. It's a shame.
Sebastian Bach has such a magical voice. And decades later, he can still hit all the high notes.
Not sure where you're hearing him still hitting the high notes. Everything I've heard from him lately is awful. And he used to be my favorite male singer.
@@spongedebfatpants1308 Okay. He can still hit more than most singers his age. He does earn respect for not dropping the keys to make the notes easier to hit. I hate to see aging singers feel the need to do that.
makes me think of my brother i lost to addiction, 7 years now. rip Sully!
I lost my oldest brother, also named Sully (Sullivan) to a heroin overdose on his 50th birthday
Lost my daughter at 25 to drugs
Hugs and love to all of you in this thread. May you find comfort in the memories of the love you shared with your loved ones 🙏💜
Condolences to all. No one should have to go through that
*I'm so glad you're on a Skid Row journey❤*
Sebastian Bach had one of the best voices for his era. Highly underrated.
Sebastian don't be singing, Sebastian be SANGIN'!!!!!👏👏👏👏👏😄💙
This song just rips me apart every time I hear it. I lost someone very close to me 20 years ago. Every line of this song is so hard to hear because it's so close to my situation. The feeling that I couldve and should've done more but didn't. 😭
The White horse stampedes and rages is his friend succumbing to his heroine addiction.
He was addicted to courageous, epic women...?
I love this song. In A Darkened Room is another beautiful song. Sebastian Bach is such a great singer.
Sebastian would always give me chills the way he used his unbelievable range, the emotion he pulls out of their lyrics with his singing and the emotion he'd have in his handsome face.☺💙
"And the horse stampedes in rages in the name of desperation." Oh man, that lyric there pierces my heart. Such a truly amazing song!
Yea man lost my best friend of 25 years a few years back. Hurts everyday. Give Candlebox “far behind” a look. Deep message
This song always reminds me of my best friend, Alan. We were super tight, and I joined the Navy and lost touch due to distance. But even when this song was released he was on the path to follow the theme of this song, which he ultimately did. Tears me up every time I hear it.
Sebastian went and spent a year+ on Broadway playing Jekyll & Hyde. BROADWAY. But yeah, this is about Steven Adler - his close friend and drummer for Guns N’ Roses. It’s sad, man.

And a little bit Rocky Horror Picture Show. *wink*

Yes
Yes
That's what you call a power ballad. Sebastian Bach's vocals are otherworldly, not to mention how good looking he was back then.
this song brings tears every time I hear it.
So haunting. Especially with Sebastian’s voice.
He is the best rockstar ever! His voice makes me cry lol
Sebastians voice is like no other. My all time favorite

"Slave to the Grind" yo! The chorus to that song is my life's mantra!
Yes, Jamel. “The horse stampedes and rages.” Horse is a street slang for heroin. Another commenter already mentioned that this was written about/for Steven Adler, the original drummer for Guns and Roses who was kicked out because of his heroin addiction. Interestingly, bass player Rachel Bolan who helped write the song calls it “the biggest piece of shit we ever recorded.” I definitely can’t agree with him.
Has Rachel heard some of the stuff SR has recorded lately? Are we sure HE isn't on drugs?
Hence the song Mr. Brownstone.
Rachel holds a lot of animosity towards Sebastian, even still after all these years, so I think anytime Sebastian shines, Rachel gets tetchy about it. And yeah, Skid Row without Sebastian is... not worth it. Sebastian on the other hand is out there being the same as always.
One of the most powerful anti-drug songs ever. The lyrics are so deep! This album is an absolute masterpiece! 🔥🔥🔥
His vocals are amazing in this song. ❤

His voice in this song gives me chills.
Yours is the fourth reaction video of this song I’ve watched. Yours is by far the most genuine, and I’m so happy you understand it
Lyrics
You and I together in our lives
Sacred ties would never fray
Then why can I let myself tell lies
And watch you die every day?
I think back to the times
When dreams were what mattered
Though talking youth naivete
You said you'd never let me down
But the horse stampedes and rages
In the name of desperation
Is it all just wasted time?
Can you look at yourself
When you think of what
You left behind?
Is it all just wasted time?
Can you live with yourself
When you think of what
You've left behind?
Paranoid delusions they haunt you
Where's my friend I used to know?
He's all alone, he's buried deep within
A carcass searching for a soul
Can you feel me inside
Your heart as it's bleeding
Why can't you believe
You can be loved
I hear you scream in agony
And the horse stampedes and rages
In the name of desperation
Is it all just wasted time?
Can you look at yourself
When you think of what
You left behind?
Is it all just wasted time?
Can you live with yourself
When you think of what
You've left behind?
You said you'd never let me down
But the horse stampedes and rages
In the name of desperation
Is it all just wasted time?
Can you look at yourself
When you think of what
You left behind?
Is it all just wasted time?
Can you live with yourself
When you think of what
You've left behind?
The sun will rise again
The earth will turn to sand
Creation's colors seem to fade to grey
And you'll see the silky hands of time
Will write your final rhyme
And end our memory
Oh, no!
I never thought you'd let it get this far, boy
Oh, I never thought
I never thought you'd let it get this far, boy
Oh, no!
I never thought
I never thought you'd let it get this far, boy
No!
I never thought you'd let it get this far, boy

Seen Sebastian Bach in concert with axle rose and the other guns and roses band when slash etc. Were beefing with him. The new "guns" still slayed and Sebastian played all the skid row classics. Was a great time and really first and only concert with my bro.
One of the most underrated guitar soloist ever ....
One of my favourites. Saw Sebastian Bach at Barrymore's in Ottawa a couple years ago (small venue gig) and he still sounds great.
I like many songs from Skid Row, but I want to say this is one of the top songs from the band. This song talks about specific things that happened, but it can be applied to one outside the lyrics. It is a song that talks about a first person view, but can be seen in a third person of oneself. It really makes you think from the story and yourself. Moving from the philosophical view.
Back in 60's and early 70's Horse was a slang term for Heroin. "The White horse stampedes and rages"
Yes! Slave to the Grind and Here I Am.
I wish we still had music like this on the radio today but music today sucks I'm glad I grew up in the 70s and 80s
It hits my heart too man . Such great songwriting and performance by everyone in the band
And also , yeah . Your'e right about the heroin/horse connection . So many good people lost to it . Most just trying to escape inner turmoil . It is such a shame
Heroin destroys peoples souls
Thank you Jamel! Love this song 😊✌
My childhood was all about G N R and Skid Row. Lets Go!
This song makes me think of my now ex-husband. After 20 years of marriage and 2 children we divorced. I tried for years to help him cope with alcoholism. I finally decided for the mental health of our children to love him from a far. I continue to pray that one day he will overcome those demons. It's been 3 years and I continue to check up on him and encourage him. Addiction is a horrible thing to watch someone go through.
Thank you for the amazing reactions and keeping great music alive.
My most favourite rock band in the 80s... 1st & 2nd albums were the best... untouchables.
