Sebastian Bach Falls During Performance, Tripped Over His Ego

Scott — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 15:13:50 +0000

Sometimes I don’t even have to put forth the effort to make fun of Sebastian Bach. Sometimes he does it for us (For example…Angel Down). I really don’t like to see anyone get hurt, no matter how much of a pompous ass they are, so fortunately Bach wasn’t hurt and was even a good sport about it stating: ‘I meant to do that’. Look for the fall at about 1:48 of this performance of a butchered Skid Row classic “I Remember You“. Sebastian Bach was playing with Dokken and Poison in Los Angeles.

Sebastian Bach – Love Is A Bitch Slap Video

Scott — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 21:03:05 +0000

On Vh1 Classics the other days I saw this video when I was channel surfing. I watched it from wherever I cam in at to the end. My first question is, is all that leather mandatory? Does he still think it’s a metal fashion statement or something? Anyway, This is one of those videos where they shoot a live performance and dub the sound over the top of it. Half the time he was singing in the audio, he wasn’t in the video. I don’t like the song. I think it’s corny and it sucks. I also know that Sebastian Bach’s voice isn’t nearly what it was back in his prime and he’s not that old. Perhaps that’s what kissing Axl Rose’s ass 24/7 does to your your vocal chords, I don’t know. Now I used to really like his vocals back in the Skid Row days. He had some really great pipes and could hit those high notes but those days are over. I can only imaging how awful this is in a live performance. Watch the video…do the math, gargle afterwards.

Sebastian Bach’s Angel Down CD/DVD | Now You Can See ‘Suck’ As Well As Hear ‘Suck’.

Scott — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 23:17:25 +0000

Sebastian Bach’s Angel Down will release in the UK as a CD/DVD with live footage from the once great singer of Skid Row. The new version of Angel Down will feature a DVD with live footage from shows in Canada, Japan and The United States. So now if you choose to buy the CD you can see suck as well as hear suck. Too bad another washout rock star can’t swallow his pride and reunite with the band that once made some great tunes. But once again, egos are involved and someone is forgetting that it’s not 1990 anymore.

Bach and Roses

Well I guess that Sebastian Bach didn’t think his voice sucked enough on his new record so he called in another former excellent vocalist to help make it suck even more. Don’t get me wrong here. I love the old GnR and Skid Row. In their day they were two very unique vocalists but these days…eh..how you say?…not so good.

We all heard Axl Rose bomb on MTV years ago when he first debuted the braids (nothing like a 40 year old, pale irish dude in corn rows). It was supposed to be a big surprise…and it was, SURPRISE: GUNS AND ROSES NOW SUCKS. And we heard how awful Bach is these days from the VH1 Supergroup. Even if they really do suck on the recording, these days you can “Airbrush” if you will, with the technology. Cher is 98 years old and still sounds just as crappy as she did when she did “I got you babe”.

Perhaps Bach thought he needed someone to make him sound good on the record, I don’t know. All I know is that I’ll be spending my money on something more worth while like a The Wiggles Live tickets…or Guitar Hero III. Not sure yet…it’s a tough choice.

If you want to waste your time and read some lines from Axl himself about the collaboration then keep reading.

“Bas asked me to sing on his new record, ‘Angel Down’, and I agreed and came down to his studio where he played me the tracks. I really liked the title/opening track, ‘Angel Down’, but I didn’t feel that it would be right to be on that one, although, of course, it would’ve been cool because it’s a great rip-your-head-off track!!

“Since this session was rather a more fun atmosphere, the tracks I sang on kind of showed themselves and were also done out of curiosity on the part of Bas, myself, and his producer, Roy Z, just to see if my involvement brought something that worked for the tracks.

“Bas really wanted me on ‘Bitchslap, and I got to try my own ideas on it. We’re not saying much about the second track, as it may be taken a bit further, and when Bas played the third track, ‘Stuck Inside’, he suggested a kind of call-and-answer part. They allowed me the freedom to write my own words and melodies, and although it’s only a couple of lines, it really felt great. The song has such a mean riff, and Bas’ guys were so supportive in so many ways on tour and fun to hang with, that it was great to be a part of something of theirs and I think it really came out strong.

“For me, the three songs together are a good package. They are all different, with different approaches and styles from each other and from material I have on the upcoming GUNS N’ ROSES record. For me, the timing couldn’t be better and I’m quite surprised to be on one song, let alone three!!!

“Bas really knew where he saw my involvement on his album and had different options in mind. He knew what seemed obvious, what would be fun, what would work for his album and what he felt I would like. I really liked the energy of the tracks and since I’m rarely asked to do anything I’d actually enjoy or be glad to be a part of, I’m more than grateful for the opportunity and hope the fans get a kick out of it as well.”

Thanks to the Metal Den for the Axl words.
