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.
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
@@bondalero0074 Showed who how to do what? LOL Different genres of music. I never liked Slayer, Megadeath and that kind of music. Some of these bands were formed way before the other bands you mentioned so, there is no comparing.
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.
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 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!
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.
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.
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.
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?
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

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
@@giraffesareselfish9563 Ok......Maybe top 10. I can't put him ahead of Dio. Ozzy. Rob Halford. Bruce Dickinson. Dave Mustaine. All legends. All obviously with more longevity and in way better bands. Even though I'm not a huge Skid Row fan I appreciate them. Bach can wail, for sure but not the best of all time.
@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.
Speaking for myself Bach rocks.... personally I owe Bach and the rest of Skidrow for so many great memories of hearing some the best songs ever... love snake also
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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
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
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 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.
You are just wrong. The other guys should bow down and be lucky. Other than Sebastian. I could hire anyone to play guitar and drums you can't hire a singer like Sebastian.
@@markwerdebaugh6202 Maybe Sebastian should bow down to them for hiring him in the first place, if they hadn't done that, we'd never even know who Bach was.
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 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!
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.
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.
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 .
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.
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!
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
Saw Skid Row in 1990 open up for Aerosmith in Sacramento California. After the show me and a friend were walking in the parking lot when an old Ford Pinto drove up next to us. A long haired guy that was driving asked us if we knew where the nearest strip bar was. I bent down to talk to them and saw Sebastian Bach in the passenger seat, I'll never forget it.
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?
In 2006 I seen GNR at the Hammerstein Ballroom. I was on the floor extremely close to the stage. Bach comes barging through the crowd to get to the stage area and just plowed everyone over and shoulder checked me. Fuckin guy 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 .
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.
I had to deal with him at a radio promotion. He had one of our street team girls in his section. The girl was needed somewhere else (as an employee of the station) He told us to "F&*k off! she's with me!" then threw a beer bottle at one of our sales reps...The street team employee was unceremoniously threw OFF the tour bus as they started driving away (Peoria IL)
Sorry, but the band (besides the drummer) are really up themselves. It started with Bach doing a deal with Kiss, thinking everyone would be really happy (he should have consulted first, but the band thought they were too important to play with the legends that are Kiss. Big as Skid Row were, they are full of themselves for thinking this). Bach was understandably pissed, as was the band, and Bach shouldn't have left a rude message. But it was just a fight. That's all, and it happens to everyone. And they band says they don't care about the fans, it's about them being happy. That's really disrespectful to us fans. We made them what they are, and when they fired Bach, they've pretty much dropped off the map. They should at least get together to do re masters of those first 3 albums, but the band just won't. And when touring, they don't even have to talk to each other or hang out. Many bands do this because they don't get on. Again, the band doesn't care and won't do it. Bach has come out on a few occasions and stated he would work with them again. The band members need to get their act together and stop being selfish.... and its not like they won't make a stack of cash. Anyway, rant over. Sorry for that, but as a big fan, I feel disrespected and sort of cheated. What do you all think?
He didn't say he didn't care about the fans, he said he didn't want to play with Bach for the good of his mental health. It's easy to say that they don't have to talk to each other to tour, I say it's impossible, especially at the level they would do it, which would be theater level. I saw them at their peak, on the slave to the grind tour, and they were playing 4000 seats arenas. So even if Bach come back, that won't put them back in 10,000 seats arena. No, if they don't want to play with him, that's their choice, big deal, there's bunch of other bands out there to listen too. It's hard to play in a band with someone you don't get along with, unless you are super huge, and make shit load of cash, which won't be their case. It's not worth it for them, and I get it.
Or Baz broke Snakes heart or he sold his soul to the devil. Nothing else makes sense after 30 years. They should really grow up and get back together. They owe it to the fans, we made them who they are. They should be more humble. The fans want Baz, get your asses together, C'mon.
There should be a badass metal Dr. Phil type "therapist" to help many bands resolve issues and mend relationships. Would make an interesting reality show at the very least.
In 96 Skid Row were not too big as an opener for Kiss, which had one of the biggest tours in the mid 90’s. Look at where the ended up after firing Sebastian!
Seriously? Millions disagree. I've seen hundreds of concerts, and Skid Row opening for Airosmith in 98 was my favorite. They were incredibly powerful. Slave to the grind still holds up. Curious why you think that. Wasn't one person in 18000 that wasn't on there feet. That band had everyone captivated
@GLS oh wow. Lol. Brilliant. How meny bands open for Airosmith in front of18000 people, when there debut Albumn had only been out for a few months. They didn't open for anybody when they sold out wembly stadium etc. Shallow as fuck.

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.
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.
But a musician just loves to play ...

@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.
@@elduderino73 the music in the blood trait can be a burden to some.
Skid Row doesn't make it without Bolan/Sabo songwriting nor do they make it without Bach's vocals.
What about Rob's heavy hitting?
Listen to the new album with Erik Grönwall on vocals! Good stuff!

Last time he was in Skid Row I was in high school. I'm a grandad now, pack er in boys, you're done.

So bloody true! Have a look at Joe Perry from Aerosmith...he now looks like Keith Richards twin..yikes 😵
@@kasey9067 If you live you age, it's only natural.
I seen them open for bon Jovi, then they disappeared (1989). One record guys I thought.
Have they made enough coin to retire
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
I love him❣️Sebastian was one of the sexiest singers and front men in all of Rock! Ever!
He was really good looking, but to me the sexiest of all time was Jon Bon Jovi.
That Rolling Stone cover in the gold pants.......😍
Oh yes, I’m 51 and agree! Sebastian and Jon both 🥰🥰
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!!
Their first 2 albums were iconic
I'd said the first 3. Subhuman Race is underrated.
Iconic? Thats 'Swiftie' talk if ever I've heard it.
They’re decent. Had they never existed wouldn’t matter.
First 2 yeah … but nothing since and now there’s 100s of other artists out there and we’re grandparents … grow up
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?
Hey, it's not his personality we care about, it's his amazing singing we love 💕
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?

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.
Bach looking like a hermit grandmother in the thumbnail
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)
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
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.
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 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
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
So glad Stevie Ray Vaughan just wanted to play music. And what a mighty job he did.
Yeah so much he's dead.
I got into a small argument with Bach on Twitter and of course was banned. Arrogant is an understatement and clueless about reality.
Anyone who has been around Bach for more than 2 minutes will totally understand why Skid Row feels the way they do about him.
You are just wrong. The other guys should bow down and be lucky. Other than Sebastian. I could hire anyone to play guitar and drums you can't hire a singer like Sebastian.
@@markwerdebaugh6202 But yet they did. Have you heard the new album? Sounds like it is right from the Slave era, and the new singer is spectacular!!
He seems pretty cool to me. Yeah he's got typical lead singer vibes but it doesn't bother me.
@@markwerdebaugh6202 Maybe Sebastian should bow down to them for hiring him in the first place, if they hadn't done that, we'd never even know who Bach was.
@@shellybean9 what a beautiful imagination.
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.
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.
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
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’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.
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.
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.
He is a badass performer
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 .
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?

Saw that tour at the Rosemont Horizon in Chicago.
That thumbnail pic looks exactly like a woman who bartends at a local American Legion where I live.
Skid Row is coming to play in my hometown soon. But without Bach it’s not considered Skid Row to me
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!
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.
Imagine going from Sebastian Bach to Glen Benton in Deicide.. didn't even know about that. RIP Ralph. Hell of a guitarist.
Right?! When I heard that I had to replay it to make sure I heard that correctly.. deicide? Like really?
All those bands are friends and Glen is cool. Met him many times.
Glen is the biggest a-hole ever what are you talkin about. He treats other bands like garbage on tour.
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.
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
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.

Probably better than your collection.
I think he lost all of it due to a hurricane
You made him look like Senator Palpatine in the thumbnail lol
Wish it didn't have to be so dramatic.these guys are some of my favorites🔥
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.
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.
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
Sebastian Bach is an always will be the voice of Skid Row, he was the Youth Gone Wild!!!
Name a Skid Row song not sung by Bach?
Exactly.
I think he’s hilarious, charismatic, fun, amazing singer and I think it’s rad he’s having his moment!
Love him or hate him but without Sebastian There would Never have been 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.
I am really sad this all went all... I feel bad for Sebastian. I love Youth Gone Wild because of Sebastian.
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
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.
Saw Skid Row in 1990 open up for Aerosmith in Sacramento California. After the show me and a friend were walking in the parking lot when an old Ford Pinto drove up next to us. A long haired guy that was driving asked us if we knew where the nearest strip bar was. I bent down to talk to them and saw Sebastian Bach in the passenger seat, I'll never forget it.
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?
In 2006 I seen GNR at the Hammerstein Ballroom. I was on the floor extremely close to the stage. Bach comes barging through the crowd to get to the stage area and just plowed everyone over and shoulder checked me. Fuckin guy lol.
Oh for goodness sake . LOL 🤣
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 saw Skid Row as an opening act… for the first three minutes and then I went for a beer and for a leak. Their show was over by the time I got back.
Ralph was a great guy and amazing guitar player
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.
Sounds like the Skid Row lead singer has hit skid row!
No. Far from it. He is a Broadway star.
And a country singer
He’s awesome. Stand up guy and loves his fans. Still rocks it out of the park. Go see him!!!!
I had to deal with him at a radio promotion. He had one of our street team girls in his section. The girl was needed somewhere else (as an employee of the station) He told us to "F&*k off! she's with me!" then threw a beer bottle at one of our sales reps...The street team employee was unceremoniously threw OFF the tour bus as they started driving away (Peoria IL)
Erik Grönwall is the best version since early Skid Row. I would rather watch Skid Row with Erik today 👍🏼
🎯
Agreed!
Sorry, but the band (besides the drummer) are really up themselves. It started with Bach doing a deal with Kiss, thinking everyone would be really happy (he should have consulted first, but the band thought they were too important to play with the legends that are Kiss. Big as Skid Row were, they are full of themselves for thinking this). Bach was understandably pissed, as was the band, and Bach shouldn't have left a rude message. But it was just a fight. That's all, and it happens to everyone. And they band says they don't care about the fans, it's about them being happy. That's really disrespectful to us fans. We made them what they are, and when they fired Bach, they've pretty much dropped off the map. They should at least get together to do re masters of those first 3 albums, but the band just won't. And when touring, they don't even have to talk to each other or hang out. Many bands do this because they don't get on. Again, the band doesn't care and won't do it. Bach has come out on a few occasions and stated he would work with them again. The band members need to get their act together and stop being selfish.... and its not like they won't make a stack of cash. Anyway, rant over. Sorry for that, but as a big fan, I feel disrespected and sort of cheated. What do you all think?
He didn't say he didn't care about the fans, he said he didn't want to play with Bach for the good of his mental health. It's easy to say that they don't have to talk to each other to tour, I say it's impossible, especially at the level they would do it, which would be theater level. I saw them at their peak, on the slave to the grind tour, and they were playing 4000 seats arenas. So even if Bach come back, that won't put them back in 10,000 seats arena. No, if they don't want to play with him, that's their choice, big deal, there's bunch of other bands out there to listen too. It's hard to play in a band with someone you don't get along with, unless you are super huge, and make shit load of cash, which won't be their case. It's not worth it for them, and I get it.
I think you make some good points but I bet there’s a shit ton that went on that we don’t know about.
Or Baz broke Snakes heart or he sold his soul to the devil. Nothing else makes sense after 30 years. They should really grow up and get back together. They owe it to the fans, we made them who they are. They should be more humble. The fans want Baz, get your asses together, C'mon.
You sound like a slave driver.
I didn't even recognize her in that thumbnail
There should be a badass metal Dr. Phil type "therapist" to help many bands resolve issues and mend relationships. Would make an interesting reality show at the very least.
In 96 Skid Row were not too big as an opener for Kiss, which had one of the biggest tours in the mid 90’s. Look at where the ended up after firing Sebastian!
Skid Row.....was always an opening band
Seriously? Millions disagree. I've seen hundreds of concerts, and Skid Row opening for Airosmith in 98 was my favorite. They were incredibly powerful. Slave to the grind still holds up.
