First Time Hearing Skid Row - “Wasted Time” Reaction | Asia and BJ

[@sopdox]

Go back and watch the video just to see the pain in Sebastian’s face when he’s singing these lyrics.

[@MundoDragon]

You do know a video is a production?

[@thabudmaster]

@@MundoDragon it was a production but the lyrics & the meaning are real & Seb really put that out there

[@MundoDragon]

@@thabudmaster As if he would admit to being ingenuine. Come on guys, let's adopt better sense as a norm.

[@paulometal88]

Quando reagem lendo a letra nem prestam atenção no som,perde a graça

[@ingloriousbetch4302]

​​@@MundoDragonah I see the ignorant trying to convince the others to be just as ignorant as them. Interesting. Look, we cab all gather you wouldn't care at all of your best friend was killing themselves with heroine but apparently sabastian bach did and he tried to get him clean before he went to far. Pretty sure nost ppl with even half a heart would suffer over watching soneone they love killing themselves. Obviously, you aren't most people.

[@jasontaylor6005]

The song is about drug addiction of a friend. " The horse stampedes and rages", horse is a slang term for heroin. Not about a girl at all. Watch the official video.

[@eugenenicolaas6881]

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. Regarding the lyrics, "You said you'd never let me down, but the horse stampedes and rages," Horse is a popular name for heroin. The song starts out with lighter drugs like cannabis, and moves onto harder drugs like ecstasy and cocaine and then finishes with heroin.

[@BlackRoseImmortal]

This is exactly what the song is about, ie: Steven Adler.

[@stephanieclark9849]

*Skid Row - "In a Darkened Room" next please.🤘Wasted Time was written for Steven Adler (drummer of Guns n Roses).He and Sebastian (singer of Skid Row) were best friends and he was watching him suffer and destroy himself in his addictions.*

[@danmellen1423]

Album version is way better than video

[@ericsmith6615]

Wife here.., The band Skid Row went deep sometimes.., All my Friends were in Love with Lead Singer Sebastian Bach in the 80's..This is written about his great friend who was in the band Guns and Roses..When this song refers to "Horse"..this is symbolic for Heroin..That his friend sadly had an addiction to...😢💕

[@ckimsey77]

Just for yourselves, watch the video for this song. It lets you see him actually singing the lines and theres SOOO much emotion and pain in his face and body language...he was on of the most passionate vocalists with full heart into his lyrics ever

[@kevinmiller5526]

Sebastian Bach..... one badass m'er f'er thanks for doin this and dig deep on Skid Row. " Monkey Business" and "Youth Gone Wild" should be next!! Be safe, be cool

[@JK-ns5dr]

You need to watch the video to truly appreciate the song.

[@Chevy11]

Dude nobody can hit those rock notes like Sebastian Bach!!!!

[@FrethKindheart]

The horse stampeding represents heroin. It's about his friend who was suffering from drug addiction, which is why there was so much emotion in the song.

[@williamjamesayers7719]

the official video gives a good visual of the song

[@jeffreydooley3745]

Every time I hear this song, it makes me sob. The story behind it is so devastatingly sad and the emotions of it all is certainly portrayed in Sebastian's vocals.

[@digimortalone2759]

Another great song and vocal showcase by Skid Row, would be Quicksand Jesus. And have a great and Happy Thanksgiving.

[@allie12212]

Sebastian Bach is definitely a true underrated amazing vocalist, his talent is so good

[@KevinVenturePhilippines]

One thing I have noticed is a good electric guitar solo will get everybody. I don't care your age, your color, your country, your music style, your anything. The lead electric guitar is an arrow straight to your heart and a passport straight to your soul.

[@donluce4883]

Now go watch the official video and you will have a greater appreciation of the meaning of the song.

[@jerryhinds6009]

When you guys stopped the video to chat about the song thus far, I got chills. Don't know why? Maybe because you two get it and you both have amazing energy. Just had to add this. ❤️🙏✌️🔥❤️

[@nolebeeks303]

From what I understand he was talking at the ex drummer from guns and roses . A good friend of his. Steve Adler

[@jerryhinds6009]

Thanks for this reaction video. Sebastian's voice at the end, when he says, "I Never Thought You'd Let It Get This Far Boy", it sounds like Freddy Mercurys voice. IMO Love you guys! One of my favorite rock bands back in the 90's. ❤️🙏✌️👍

[@LOKISlog7]

I Remember You, Monkey Business, 18 and Life are Skid Row must listens

[@randycomerford2038]

They wrote this song about Steven Adler, who was badeling a bad drug addiction at the time.

[@scottboyd9383]

Watch the actual video and you will see just how much the singer strains to sing this. he has some serious pipes

[@markstasiak6127]

Love this song, very powerful.

[@metalmark1214]

A great Skid Row ballad.

[@IAmGRX]

This is a rock song. They are more likely to sing about other things than relationships with girls. This is about Sebastian's friend Steven Adler dealing with heroin addiction. It's ok for a guy in a rock band to sing about loving his friend even if that friend is another dude. For those not used to that I can see why you'd wonder if he was singing to a girl. But not everything has to be about romantic relationships.

[@seanwoods4883]

Sébastien Bach is the voice of hair bands!

[@alanmaddison4835]

He's referring to a good friend going through heroin addiction. I've seen this. Its heart breaking 💔 😢

[@rosedolch8637]

This song is about how a friend would feel if he had to watch someone he knew change with drugs, alcohol.. The effect it has on their friends and the whole family. . How far down the path the addiction and abuse actually went .. I remember being pregnant with my son and his father was an abusive drug addict.. He'd take off with MY car and guitar.. to go do his drugs and alcohol.. I used to sing this song repeatedly with tears in my eyes until I fell asleep from exhaustion from crying..

[@OriginalFeets]

I saw Skid Row and Soundgarden in Nashville, Tennessee. I remember a lot of smoke... and beer.😂

[@mattwooldridge7023]

You should definitely check out 'In A Darkened Room' and 'Quicksand Jesus '. They are other great ballads where Sebastian Bach showcases his vocals.

[@garyarnett1220]

Damn, felt that way a time or two. VERY good song. New to me.

[@kennethcelorio4937]

The song is about one of his best friends and his heroin addiction and how it affected his life and all those around him.

[@tylerhackner9731]

Powerful song

[@MrJoeyZaZa]

Quicksand Jesus! Best Skid Row Song ever!

[@scarletngrey36]

In a darkened room , Quicksand Jesus , Monkey business, Can’t stand the heartache, Forever , Into another, so many good songs !!

[@chrisfair5934]

This is actually about his friend Steven Adler who was addicted to drugs for much of his life. It’s about watching his addiction take more and more control over him.

[@rachelethomas1616]

You have to watch the video….. just watching him sing it is amazing!

[@tomlorenz7283]

The song is about his friend gunsnroses drummer Stephen Adler who has a deadly drug problem

[@Jayhawk9]

Sebastian bach didn't write this song people. He sang the hell out of it but guitarist Dave Sabo and bassist Rachel bolan wrote this song as they did with all skid row songs. They did write it about Steven Adler from GnR though. Dave sabo and Rachel bolan are so underrated it's criminal that people don't do their homework on who writes the songs. Its 2022 and we have Google now🤯

[@scenevision356]

you fool, you have no idea what you are talking about....Bach is credited on the ALBUM .. do YOUR homework , kid

[@ckimsey77]

The "horse" is a symbolic for heroin addiction, similarly how the "wagon" is used with alcohol

[@johnamadeusknight679]

It is definitely a song about addiction and the video does a great job of showing what that addiction does to you. How are your friends supposed to live with the knowledge that they shared that addiction with you and didn't get any help after noticing how messed the friend was. Thanks for the reaction to this video and for your take on the lyrics. Please do a reaction video for Skid Row "Quicksand Jesus" and Skid Row "Little Wing"

[@darrinmoon1974]

Another reason to watch the original version. You get the content. It is about heroin addiction of a friend. The video you can see the pain in his face as he sings.

[@rosesapphire7520]

If you watch the original video with the song it will give you a clear prospective. Not saying this to you directly-but there are so many people that judged heavy metal and me when I was growing up. But those who judged were blind to see how deep our music is!

[@stevenedwards5356]

Wish u had actually played the video as you can really see the passion Sebastian puts into this. Great pic! Love u guys!

[@MelvinMoats-zl3bn]

Watch the video. It really shows the feeling of this song

[@zappothesane4910]

He's singing about drug addiction, specifically to heroin. It's the "horse" that's stampeding and raging.

[@GARY6661967]

B j went toooo deep...blew me away🤘peace,love and respect to you both✌❤🙏

[@rick5440]

Skid Row wasn't your typical hair band. Their subject matter could be dark. Quicksand Jesus, In a Darkened Room, etc...

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

Skid Row "18 and Life" original video so good. 🙏

[@mikecomstock1602]

Boy is a word for Heroin. Ya never think it will take you this far.

[@scottvanhille5688]

Hope you have a Happy Gobble Gobble! Skid Row is so good. Sebastian is a great singer.

[@rowanmayfair9249]

The "scream" you hear is actually called a vocal fry. Unfortunately, if you do it a lot it will ruin your vocals and, yeah, it ruined his. He's still able to sing but he's a shadow of his former self. Thank you again so much for playing this one! It took us close to a year to get it played but it was worth it. One thing I can always promise you, if I say the vocals are nuts, I guarantee they'll blow your mind. From one singer to another Asia, I know you definitely appreciate it. Hey, check your pm's on discord. I'm dying to know how you felt about bday gift.

[@mjc1389]

Seb’s decline probably has as much to do with age and lifestyle as much as not using proper technique. The same can be said for Geoff Tate. Both had some level of formal training in their younger years so they probably both knew how to take care of their voices. Dave Draiman from Disturbed has sang with vocal fry for 20+ years and hasn’t lost anything. There are many other examples of vocalists using a lot of fry and having long careers. It’s part genetics and part taking care of your voice and body as you age.

[@onelove101unity]

Fry will only ruin your chords if you do it wrong but it's very easy to get wrong and the damage can be severe in some cases.

[@rachelethomas1616]

The video is amazing to watch! He’s amazing!

[@DarkAngel1985Mike]

One of my favorite bands since this album came in 89 when I was 4 years old

[@jasongraham5648]

That voice 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@ericsmith6615]

Wife here..Hey BJ..just to pop back in.., WOW..Your theory of it possibly being about himself instead of his friend was EXTREMELY thought provoking..Thanks Guys!

[@BlackRoseImmortal]

Another fantastic song and show of Sebastian Bach's vocals is the song "Quicksand Jesus"

[@bojowers1048]

It's about his friend Steven atler about his drug addiction he got fired as the drummer of guns n roses

[@lindaaumiller7592]

Skid Row ... Youth gone wild.

[@seanwoods4883]

I used to cover them when I was a young rocker. Now if I raise my voice at all I start coughing. Hahaha getting old is ruff

[@clintjo2377]

😁His voice always 🙃

[@tiacalhoun3841]

Sebastian wrote this about his best friends heroin addiction, his best friend being Stephen Adler (Guns N Roses drummer)

[@patrickg.1170]

The "Horse" that "Stampedes and Rages" is drugs....specifically Heroin...

[@mannycarinha770]

It’s about addiction

[@BjornAgain76]

Not about himself. It's about someone close to him lost on drugs

[@SissyBarks]

It's about Steven antler the drummer for guns and rose Sebastian Bach and Steven Adler were best of friends and Sebastian changed his ways in Stephen didn't

[@merc4137]

Whitney Huston level vocals

[@deadbeat-vc9kg]

I love seeing people branching out of their stereotypical music genres to discover new artists. I don't know how people can listen to only one genre of music. There are so many great artists, compositions and stories out there, I can't limit myself to only one musical style.

[@stonyhiggins7113]

Sabastian Bach goes God mode, on this song.

[@antoniocunha8772]

great band

[@jasonhasty1972]

that is a full scream

[@seanwoods4883]

I think you've done I Remember You. 18 and Life is a great Skid Row song

[@srt8rocketship241]

A damn great rock and roll band.

[@denisegeary6603]

The video would have explained it better. It's about his friends Addiction

[@shawnpiette5372]

Next time, watch the video instead to get the full range of his amazing voice. Sebastian Bach has the best voice in rock history.

[@OriginalFeets]

New subscriber, too 😁

[@AsiaandBJ]

Thanks!!

[@Erica-wy8zx]

Sebastian has a good controlled scream. Chris Cornell had a great controlled scream.

[@robborra8071]

This one you really should have watched the official video... the emotion is all there... Sebastian at his best

[@bapc3billneeley]

Drugs hurt more than just the ones taking them!

[@mikeferris408]

Great song!

[@richardwilde1334]

You guys are brilliant and genuine

[@wanderinglostsoulsriffe2855]

Should done official video

[@kevinb9745]

The horse stampedes and rages-heroin!

[@deportedsouls3165]

Watch the video and you'll understand!

[@chelseacannon2585]

Love the reaction. If you haven't already , you should check out Skid Row - 18 and life. Great. Song.

[@bobmarsh6915]

Quicksand Jesus is a great song

[@albertmassingo4249]

I occasionally have those thoughts but then I look over at my daughter and I think that all the things that I've done in my life whether right or wrong lead me to the place that I am now with the daughter I love so much and if I was to change one thing for my past even one little thing she might not exist now so yes I look back but I don't regret the things I've done because they made me end up in the place that I am now if that makes sense

[@bobmarsh6915]

In a darkened room

[@Ratovx]

Please Skid row - Quicksand jesus next !

[@rolandorojas3800]

Liked his vocals? Why do you think he made it to Broadway. Ah! You didn't know that right. He did a phenomenal vocal work in Skid Row. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4nHloOhfJhpZ80

[@kevnar]

It's about a friend of his dying of drug addiction. The guy's slowly killing himself, and all he can do is watch.

[@jamalheravi9648]

QUICKSAND JESUS!!!

[@patrickbateman7369]

You really should have reacted to the official video

[@roberthutchins946]

It's over drug abuse

[@LN-Lifer]

Should have done the video guys

[@jaywilliams3688]

You really need to watch the video. It's about a friend and drugs. Heroin. That's why he says about the horse stampede and rages. The white horse is heroin

[@rodgutierrez9011]

great song! Amazing vocals!!! 10pnts for Asia repping Selena

[@baccaratnatural]

I think it's a magic 8 ball where no matter how you apply it to yourself, you're fucked in the end because it's all wasted when we die.

[@danielcalder8882]

You missed out , what a video

[@Galatic56782]

Tesky brothers,any of there songs
