Re: Sebastian Bach Thread
I fully admit that I'm Alive and Tunnel Vision got me hooked.
Those two are FAR more powerful trx than Kicking & Screaming, even if its a clip. I guess i'm just not a big fan of Kicking & Screaming. It's not bad, it just kind of suffers from Right Next Door To Hell-syndrome.
Skid Row today fuckin' suck, so it'd be nice to see Baz out there cutting new albums with Slave-rockers, and Skid88-ballads.

Re: Sebastian Bach Thread
At least Sebastian is making music that continues on from where the best Skid albums left off. Skid Row themselves sound fucking terrible with their new singer.
I heard one new song snippet a few years ago, and it sounded like a bad Creed impersonation. How did they go from In A Darkened Room and Quicksand Jesus to shit like this???
Edit. Here's that terrible song I was talking about:
My god, THAT is bad!
Say what you will about Sebastian as a person, but his solo music has been much better than that garbage.

Re: Sebastian Bach Thread
Yeah I've never been able to get into the new skid row either.
I'd been hoping for a GNR style situation where I like new GNR but also like VR. Sort of a two for the price of one. But it's just not like that with Skid Row...i like the old Skid Row and I like Baz's solo stuff a lot...but the new Skid Row stuff just doesn't capture me.

And honestly... being really honest... I could never really get into VR because of Weiland. Sure there's a few trx that are decent, Weiland's voice with Slash & Duff - no. For the most part. And frankly Axl never really has recaptured his spirit for rockers without the other guys. Ballads... that's another story. Axl can still hammer out epic ballads on his own.
But honestly, I think the GN'R/VR split is the BEST i've seen of a division in a band, doing another band/solo act, and still being pretty strong apart.
And if they are the best.... what does that say for everyone else?
They havent made much music either
Yeah I think Baz has done two, now three solo albums, and Skid's done two.

SEBASTIAN BACH Reunites With Original SKID ROW Drummer - Aug. 25, 2011
Former SKID ROW singer Sebastian Bach has posted the following message on his Facebook page:
"Just had dinner with Rob Affuso, the original drummer of SKID ROW! Great times catching up with my longtime buddy! Could there be a special jam this evening [at Bach's solo concert] in Poughkeepsie? Hmmm, we shall see "
Bach recently tweeted that he wanted his fans to stop asking him about a possible reunion with his former bandmates after SKID ROW bassist Rachel Bolan made it clear that the group has "never looked back" following Sebastian's dismissal from the band in 1996.
Speaking to Adam Hammer of SCTimes.com, Bolan stated about Sebastian's departure from SKID ROW, "We thought we were disbanded and that we'd never do it again. Then we kept getting emails and the management office was getting lots of letters about people wanting to see SKID ROW on stage and we really started to miss it. We knew if we got back together, we were going to do things different."
He added, "When [current SKID ROW singer] Johnny [Solinger] joined the band [in 1999], that really gave us a kick in the ass. It was a different guy there and everything that came out of that guy was positive."
On the topic of the persistent rumors of a reunion with Sebastian, Bolan said, "Actually, there were never any talks. Ever. That was all just total rumor. We got rid of him in the '90s and never looked back. . . After the first tour [with Solinger on vocals], it seemed like this is the way it's always been. It's so weird, I'll hear an old song on the radio and it just sounds so bizarre to me because I'm so used to Johnny singing it."
After Bolan's comments were posted on BLABBERMOUTH.NET, Bach tweeted the following in response to the article, "If this makes even one of you stop asking me 'when are you getting the band back together' then good. IT'S NOT HAPPENING."
Sebastian previously shot down the possibility of a SKID ROW reunion with him on vocals at this past February's press conference in Los Angeles to announce the details of the third annual Revolver Golden Gods awards show. He said, "No [I am not interested in a reunion], because I don't base my life in 2011 on, like, 30 years ago. And I also... I was kicked out of that band. Like, if you worked at Pizza Hut and you got fired, would you be knocking on the door of the Pizza Hut, 'Please let me back in!!' You'd be, like, 'Fuck Pizza Hut! Fuck you!' I'd be, like, 'Fuck you! You wanna fucking kick me out? Go fuck yourself!' [Laughs] I'm always perplexed by that. You don't want me to sing in your band? Kiss my fucking ass! Don't hurt yourself finding someone that can. [Laughs]"
