FIRST TIME REACTING TO | Skid Row "Wasted Time"

[@LordRahl1975]

“The Horse” aka Heroin. It is about Steven Adler. He was the drummer in Guns N Roses who was kicked out of the band due to his drug abuse.

[@robot4me]

It's was a sad situation because they were all junkies in guns n roses.

[@jakemistakeroberts2044]

Homie f’ed up.

[@brokenws70]

the horse stampede is heroin addiction , Bach wrote this song about one of his best friends the original drummer (Steven Adler) of guns in roses , watching him killing himself and throwing away all he worked for and were he had gotten . givin into his demons ... very deep and meaningful song

[@HollerMa71]

Skid Row is so underrated. Sebastian has one of the greatest rock voices ever. I saw them live in 1989😮 Crap, I'm OLD!!😭

[@terrydavis7389]

i saw them open for Bon Jovi somewhere around that time, great show..

[@HollerMa71]

@@terrydavis7389 Yes! It was Bon Jovi too. The "Taking it to the Streets" tour. I went with my friend's ex- boyfriend because he had an extra ticket. Maybe I should finally tell her🤔😏

[@rowanmayfair9249]

He gave them their start, I believe. They also stole the entire show from what I remember. I'm very jealous that you got to see them. 🤪

[@deansnider7933]

They were not underrated according the the Billboard music charts when I was younger.. Their Album blew away the pop rock competition when it came out. They just were not together long enough to create the legacy that they deserved. I see many reaction videos on them now. Great to see our youth being exposed to what I feel is iconic music.

[@pudlmaker]

I saw them open for... I think Motley Crue? After they were done I saw a huge part of the audience get up and leave. I was like WTF just happened. Finished the concert, went home, did some research, bought an album. Best thing in my life, Skid Row saved me from skid row.

[@WykkedMofo]

Powerful song for sure. Sebastian poured his heart and soul into this one. Not only can you hear it, but the video gives you visuals into his angst and sorrow. For his good friend Steven Adler, as already mentioned. Original drummer for Guns N' Roses. Who did get kicked out for his HEAVY drug(heroin) addiction. He continued to play with other bands, but kept fighting his addiction off and on. He was there for the induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012 as a member of Guns N' Roses. Last I heard, he was clean and still playing music. Enjoyed your reaction, keep up the GREAT work Britt! 🤘🤘🤘

[@RolandDeschain1]

At this point there was nobody in rock who could touch Sebastian Bach for sheer vocal power. And back then I would have burned down an orphanage to have that hair. And a lot of the harmonies are done by the incredible Scotti Hill, one of the the band's guitarists. He also plays the solo, which is one of his very best. That guy can rip your face off, and tear your heart out at the same time.

[@BerraLJ]

I would not mind his looks when i was a teen either :)

[@stevenedwards5356]

You came upon a rock legend…that voice, that passion, that hair😊…crazy range and vocal control.

[@danielschartzer1396]

Now this is a rabbit hole to go down by Skid Row "YOUTH GONE WILD" "18 AND LIFE" "I REMEMBER YOU" "MONKEY BUSINESS" "SLAVE TO THE GRIND" Just to name a few Keep up the good work Brittreacts 🙏🏻❤️✌🏾

[@keithponchillia421]

Add to this list Quicksand Jesus.

[@sean_b_drummer]

"the horse (heroin) stampedes and rages in the name of desperation" He's reaching out to his musical brother, Steven Adler (first drummer for Guns-n-Roses) about his drug addiction. 😢

[@Jericho363]

One of the great vocalists in metal, that man could hold notes, insane notes, for a long time. He actually blew his voce out making this album and even though they were on a deadline, he wouldn't finish the vocal tracks til he healed....dope asf. A forgotten band tbh, who weren't just a hair band, which they got locked into, they sang about deep topics that were taboo to some. When he say "and the horse stampedes and rages" that is a referral to heroin....which is also known as horse, or smack etc fyi. As the one below stated, for Steven Adler who was junked out, like so many back then. Slave to the Grind, which is what this song is off of, ois hella good and a heavy album in many respects. Suggest you do Monkey Business and Slave to the Grind....for fire asf songs as well as some more lovely pants you want.

[@rowanmayfair9249]

How do you mean "not just a hair band"? From what I read, it sounded like you felt hair bands didn't make music that was deep. Am I reading this wrong?

[@sharonpate5481]

Sebastian Bach is one beautiful man! 😊👵🏼☮️💜. 18 and Life is a great song by Skid Row!

[@СветозарНовокрещенов]

Sebastian Bach is a fantastic vocalist with a powerful voice. Thanks God he is still active.

[@Dizzy1980]

1:09 "The lead singer of this band has the best pant collection." Never heard that one before.

[@BjornAgain76]

One of my all time favorite bands with an unbelievably amazing song and vocals from Sebastian Bach

[@rowanmayfair9249]

Yay! Finally! 😂 His vocals go to another guttural level. Looks like an Angel, sings like a Demon.

[@cherrypie2749]

"The best pant collection" had me laughing :) Thanks for reacting to Sebastián

[@GS-xt8fu]

Brit. You caught him in his prime. I seen this live. I sing. Amazing …..years later, partying, lifestyle etc….a big change. When they started..,wow.

[@timmiller745]

He still has his pipes unlike a lot of the 80s vocalist

[@MRBrien77]

His vocals are epic in this song

[@SquidVet]

Saw them live in the 90’s. Yes, he was that good live too.

[@pluckinmageetar]

Sebastian Bach, dude is like 6'5", pretty, sings like a bird..... He made every 80s male, post pubescent, metal head question their sexuality, if but briefly.😂😂😂😂

[@seankesinger4109]

Pure Power Raw Emotion mixed in with perfect diction and breath control. The total package

[@stephanieclark9849]

*Skid Row - "In a Darkened Room" and "Quicksand Jesus" next please.* 🤘🤘

[@SeanPFarley]

I'm so glad you watched this. It's a song from my teen years. So profound. Great singer. And yes, those pants are everything. :)

[@adamclair7983]

We all tend to attach our own meanings to songs, thats what's so great about music.

[@andrewwest8334]

Ah, one of my absolute favourite childhood bands! I see loads more recommendations but one of my personal faves, along similar rock-ballad lines as this, is ‘In a Darkened Room’. Bach’s vocals are insane and the guitars are just frigging awesome…

[@adamd8754]

The first lyric was 'the horse stampedes and races'. It's a song about their friend falling victim to a heroin (horse) addiction. And after Skid Row Sebastian went to Broadway, playing Jeckyll & Hyde, and in Rocky Horror and Jesus Christ Superstar. He's a supremely talented singer.

[@SuziSPSquirrel]

I have watched a million reactions and you got the sub. Thank you for doing Wasted Time by Skid Row. Sebastian Bach is one of my favs…he has a 5&1/2 octave range. He wanted to be a singer so he said do it the right way and he had vocal training. He went on to play the lead in Jeckyll & Hyde & Rock Of Ages on Broadway. This is the band I hope will reunite and never will. 😭

[@EricMSouza]

The best power ballad ever made.

[@2nerC9]

18 and Life and Monkey Business next! Both great hits from Skid Row

[@Metzwerg74]

youth gone wild...! or sweet little sister..

[@faisal7359]

Best song they ever did, one the most memorable sebastian songs of all times♥️

[@sammyp4216]

This song is powerful considering it's meaning and it's all about being there for someone who wouldn't accept your help because of the addiction! there's another sone about the same thing by a different band my mom who is a nurse and doesn't like heavy music at all but still understands and will cry because the person she was taking care of loved. That song is don't close your eyes by kix! Both songs are about people you tried to save and you lost them in the end because of an overdose when you were doing everything you could to save them!

[@zeem3366]

Back in the day horse is what they used to call heroine and also a rearing-up horse is a great symbol for the desperation raging inside of an addict for another hit

[@tiacalhoun3841]

Sebastian Bach has the prettiest scream ever!!!!!

[@gnasher67uk]

The line is "The horse stampedes, it rages in the name of desperation." 'Horse' is street slang for Heroin

[@tonycampbell4982]

Scott Hill was skid row

[@frankespinoza9]

my fav 80s band. do i remember you next

[@dizzynikki5912]

Sebastian Bach went on to do 4 shows on Broadway.. Yes, 4.. He is an amazing singer..

[@fitzeefreshvids1888]

For his best vocal performance away from singing in musicals on Broadway is Skidrows song “Quicksand Jesus”

[@my.business]

*Skid Row is one of the best*

[@KrisThroughGlass]

I loved Skid Row in the 90s. I still really like their music from back than. Sebastian had an amazing voice and was a beautiful man. I'm trying to ignore that nowadays he still has a good voice but is a humorless metal boomer (see his online beef with Ronnie Radke). But I guess that doesn't take away from him being a great singer and him still making me cry sometimes with this song. Plus this song and very few others might have played a roll in me never trying hard drugs like some of my friends. So I'm grateful for that.

[@briansohr2319]

My first show was like, 1988, in Hampton... Skid row opened for bon Jovi... Was twelve.. didn't suck

[@timmiller745]

Britt Sebastián Bach still has his voice today. He has performed in Phamton of the Opera as a guest appearance on Broadway. This is a powerful song about Steven Adlers drug addiction that led to his dismissal from Guns n Roses. Snake Sabo and Scotty Hills guitars compliment his voice. Quicksand Jesus should be you next listen then Monkey Business, 18 and life.

[@jodibennett-bradshawrbtmph836]

This was for Steven Adler, drummer who was bad off into drugs.... Sebastian is wailing for his friend...Steven is still with us!!!

[@jimvin21]

The "horse" stampedes & rages in the name of desperation. "Horse" is heroine.

[@Daehawk]

Strong song

[@tommyraytaylor2666]

The White Horse represents Heroin Addiction.

[@deannawalker7022]

This was for his best friend who he lost from a drug overdose. Cool fact Sabastian Bach played Gil in the TV show The Gilmore Girls.

[@rowanmayfair9249]

No. Steven Adler. GnR original drummer. He didn't die, but he is a sad case to look at now. I'm guessing he had a stroke due to the drooping side of his face. He's the poster child for not doing heroin.

[@StevenW3644]

Great review & so love love the hair. Thank you on a great song.

[@arkangel7j]

"this singer has the BEST ....(expecting to hear VOICE) .... PANTS collection" :P

[@bobcobb3654]

Skid Row were a perfect example of a good band that came along at exactly the wrong time. They were discovered by Bon Jovi in the late 80s, had their first record, which was a big hit, put out in ‘89, but when Slave To the Grind, the album “Wasted Time” was included on, came out, rock had already started to shift, thanks to Metallica’s Black Album, the crossover appeal of Red Hot Chili Peppers’ “Blood Sugar Sex Magic,” Pantera’s “Cowboys From Hell” and the arrival of grunge. If Skid Row’s first album had come out 5 years earlier, they would have had five times the success they did. But in their case, the whole genre shifted right under their feet.

[@timmiller745]

They weren't "discovered " by Jon Bon Jovi. Snake Sabo and Jon grew up together. Jon got them signed for a cut of the 1st album. Some of the members were pissed that he got a big cut of a successful first album. They just came back and made an even better 2nd album

[@RyderSontaig]

@@timmiller745 Pretty sure Sambora gave his cut back to them, Jon not so much.

[@timmiller745]

​@RyderSontaig that's a good possibility. Ritchie has always had more class.

[@strawberryshortcake6839]

Press that pause button one more time, girl, I swear....lol. The power was lost in the interruptions but I know you have to

[@glenketchum6379]

I just LUV your reactions BRITT!!!!

[@robertmaldonado8729]

Alanis always puts on a vocal masterclass on every song she sings,her voice does vocal gymnastics and the ways he sings cannot be taught,her Debut album has sold more than 19 million copies

[@joshuajames1067]

Awesome song great band love from Wisconsin doll

[@BrendanDormanMMA]

I've been binging after watching that amazing take on "She's Gone", more interestingly.... A) You look so much like an ex of mine I wish I could properly explain... B) (bc of that) @ around 4:35 "can you live with yourself...." part you look very emotional underneath. I don't know your story, or what was hitting you about Sebastian's astonishing vocals besides the obvious, but I recognize that wonderful melancholy you experienced seemingly. Lovely voice btw. Cheers.

[@rowanmayfair9249]

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 Tough-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? Oh, 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 sickly hands of time Will write your final rhyme And end our memory, yeah 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

[@fionnmaccumhaill3257]

Please do their song "In A Darkened Room".

[@ilpoheikkila4773]

Sebastian Bach is great singer and Skid Row was great band on those 3 first albums where he was singing on. Now they finally have a great singer again in Erik Grönwall. He sounds a bit like Sebastian Bach so Skid Row is Skid Row again.

[@TomBlanto]

Interesting to listen to talented people who know a lot about music and vocal technique.... I'm not good at any of that but very instructive to learn to understand music... I'm impressed by people who have unusual interests and lifestyles... It's cool when people go in for their sport...I've asked many how they succeeded and how they find motivation to put in the amount of time required.. Cool with different lifestyles and all kinds of interests that people have.. 👍👌👌👌

[@evilervcowart6234]

Coming from a tiny mountain town in northeaster Alabama (it was a 120-ish miles round trip to the nearest mall which was the closest place to purchase heavy metal music in the late 80's ~ early 90's) my first proper concert was in 1990. I was 15 years old and it was Skid Row opening for Guns 'n Roses. Honestly I was way more into thrash metal but was a fan of both bands earlier material. The lady I was seeing at the time wanted to go, so she paid for the tickets, hotel room, and, um, a few other necessary amenities of the drinking and smoking kind. Skid Row put on a great show, put their whole asses into it; unfortunately the same can't be said for GnR. To the band's credit,they tried to hold it together, but Axl was in full pissy junkie ptima dona mode and ended up storming off stage after only a handful of tunes (like 4 and a half) and doesn't return. And truthfully I gave zero f*cks because his vocals up until that point were such an atrocious train wreck I actually welcomed his departure that evening with absolutely grateful eardrums. The show was outdoors, general admission, and tickets cost $15 each lol

[@coolbreeze5741]

Yes he was a rockstar great voice 18 & life is a must not live do the album rock bands live scorpions iron maiden great white Tesla zeppelin pink Floyd all great for live 2 bands don't do live acdc & rush it's not because they are not great live they are but album songs are where it's at with them

"Horse" is heroin. It's not subtle. The song is very accurate in what it's like to lose someone you love to addiction.
