Hip Hop Songwriter Reacts to: Skid Row - I Remember You (Official Music Video)

[@belindalecorchick617]

In the video the wife dies, hence the tomb stones. I think the homelessness and possible addiction struggles happened because he had trouble dealing with life without her. I think he burns the photos because he realizes it's time to let go and make different choices moving forward. This is an amazing song and Sebastian Bach killed it.

[@cglenn1457]

I agree. Great synopsis.

[@ssvr3dl1n38]

Well said 👏

[@pcouto19]

I never thought that she had died. I always thought that she had left him. Why would he get rid of her pictures if she died? He would if he was moving on if she left him.

[@belindalecorchick617]

@@pcouto19 She will always be in his memories but staring at her pictures keeps it too fresh and distracts from the here and now.

Skid row is a staple of the 80's. 18 and life is a must. Youth gone wils, wasted time.....all classics that i listen to all the time still 40 years later

[@amyaeschbach3581]

18 and Life!!! Amazing vocals. Sebastian has become one of the most incredible vocals of our time!

[@amystreet5402]

Yes Wasted time is a great song and great meaning

Sebastian Bach not only had an absolutely amazing voice but that hair was to die for back in the day! All us girls were jealous of his beautiful hair. He still has great hair! Go down the rabbit hole because his voice is outstanding!

[@betsybabf748]

OMG I loved this song as a kid. I forgot the video. Now watching this as a widow, it hits so differently. Yes, losing your person can shatter your life and completely destroy you. If I didn't have our 5 children counting on me, I don't think I'd even be standing. At the end, the memories were drowning him so he had to let go or die with her. I will always hold every memory with a firm grip, but I have known other widows who had to get rid of every memory because they were bringing them closer to suicide than to living.

[@mimikannisto4418]

This is a very relatable reality for many, unfortunately.

Me too…🕊️first time hearing it after my husband’s death. Changed my whole view of the song.

[@lisafletcher7762]

Oh Absolutely! I lost My Boyfriend from a Heart Attack in front of Me....This Song took on A Whole New Meaning for ME! Sebastian Bach WAS Skid Row!

[@RedDawnRocker]

Cliff, Skid Row is another one of those bands that the younger generation doesn't know but the minute they hear them they'll never forget them. Their songs can easily trigger your emotions in exactly the way they want to ... it's a true gift. Wasted Time, In A Darkened Room, Quicksand Jesus, Youth Gone Wild, 18 and Life and so many others in their catalog are as good today as they were the day they were released ... truly timeless songs. As a matter of fact, Sebastien Bach, the lead singer just released a new solo album recently and he hasn't lost a step. He's a true triple threat, a hard rock/metal singer, a Broadway performer and an actor.

[@Nuthin2Gein]

80s Rock/Hair Metal is a rabbit hole you will thoroughly enjoy.🔥🔥🔥🔥 reaction! 18 and Life should be your next Skid Row reaction if you choose to do so

From Skid Row it's 18 and Life, Wasted Time, Youth Gone Wild. My brain is a jumbled jukebox and these are just a small sampling of the well known, but it's what I'm working with ~>~>~> 60s/70s/80s/90s Def Leppard (Photograph, Rock Of Ages, Hysteria), Cinderella (Don't Know What You've Got {Til It's Gone}), Slaughter (Up All Night Sleep All Day, Fly To The Angels) Tesla (Signs), Poison (Ain't Nothing But A Good Time, Something To Believe In, Unskinny Bop), Motley Crue (Smokin' In The Boys Room, Dr. Feelgood, Home Sweet Home), Cheap Trick (Don't Be Cruel, The Flame), Jefferson Airplane/Jefferson Starship/Starship, Joan Jett (I Hate Myself For Loving You, Crimson & Clover ~no it's never going to be as great as Tommy James because that's the original~), Lita Ford (Close My Eyes Forever with Ozzy... she is a spectacular guitarist) Pat Benatar (love Is A Battlefield, Hit Me), Cyndi Lauper (Time After Time, True Colors, Good Enough For Me)

Yes - and in that order (for Skid Row)!

@@scottNNJ 44+ years of music rattling in my skull, that I was alive for, it's more if you count the music from before 1978. I was writing that as an ugly migraine started, so I'm surprised it's intelligible, I wasn't sure if the recs he wanted were in the same vein as Skid Row, or just a time period....I just did music that popped in my 'database'.

MUST react to WASTED TIME!!! It was written by Sebastian about his friend Steve Adler former drummer of Guns and Roses. He was addicted to heroin really bad and got fired from the band.

[@keetahbrough]

He remembers when life was love.. but now he's on skid row and there's no love to be found there, so he remembers her. Ya, Sebastian's vocal skills continue to give me goosebumps.. he still has the pipes. xo

[@Maggimae2367]

Most talented vocalist of all of the 80’s hair metal bands. The ability this dude has is insane. Need to check out Wasted Time.

[@nannettefreeman7331]

I just saw Sebastian at a fundraiser over Memorial Day Weekend! He still sounds great & his crowdwork is top shelf. His 11yr old stepson Trace came out & played guitar on “Youth Gone Wild.” Keep an eye on that kid! Sebastian has a reputation for being a real 🍆 but really he’s just a bad drunk (we all have that one friend). He seems to have conquered that demon, & still has quite a few good years ahead of him. He took care of his voice, unlike so many other vocalists of that era, like Axl Rose & Vince Neil. If you get a chance to see him live, I highly recommend it! Just a great frontman with an amazing voice. Unpretentious & doing it for the love of music. Fun, fun, FUN!!! 🤘🏼

[@vanps1088]

As a songwriter you would probably appreciate “Wasted Time” by them. It’s a tearjerker and Sebastian’s vocals are amazing.

[@tbmike23]

More than a handful of opera singers have reacted to Sebastian and been impressed by his range, and breath control. Dude has a voice.

[@1982jeepcj8]

SkidRow, "18 and Life", is heavy, but not as heavy as " Wasted Time," is especially heavy when you find out that it is about Sebastián Bach watching his friend, Steven Adler, Guns and Roses first drummer, fall into the throes of Heroin Addiction, and waste his dream, life and relationships and his friends being powerless to stop it.

[@oceanchild9112]

I was so in love with Sebastian Bach back in the day. You should do 18 and Life next. You wanna talk about heartbreaking.

[@juggalo6291]

I just remember 12 year old me singing this at the top of my lungs like I went through the same traumatic experience lol. This entire album is so damn good, but I think 18 and life is another you must listen to ❤

[@kimzwolinski9919]

This song was huge when it came out. 😊 In the falling in Reverse video for “Watch the World Burn” the lead singer Sebastian Bach is who the laptops fell on. The guy in the video actually looks quite a bit like Sebastian 😂 They had a Twitter feud because Sebastian criticized Ronnie when they cancelled a show because of missing laptop. Love Skid Row ❤

[@andreadeamon6419]

I remember that

[@Imathomebored]

Skid Row is amazing and Sebastians voice is insane. 18 & LIfe, Wasted Life, Monkey Business, and pretty much anything else. The pictures being burned is because he realized after all the horrible (she died, he got addicted and ended up homeless) there is a time to move on and let the pain go. At least that was always my thought.

Sebastian Bach is my favorite rock voice. Please listen to more Skid Row or even some of Baz's solo stuff. He actually recently dropped a new album and did an appearance on The Masked Singer. Our first introduction to Skid Row was "Youth Gone Wild" followed up by "18 and Life". For his solo stuff I really love "Love is a Bitchslap".

Cliff i loved this reaction, honestly i think you'd really like the song Wasted Time, by Skid Row that song is about Steven Adler the original drummer for Guns and Roses, and his out-of-control heroin addiction. It's a very moving and heart-felt song to his friend, also the horse in the video was another name for heroin back in the day

The song was inspired by Bach’s relationship with a girl he had met while performing in a bar in Tampa, Florida. Bach and the girl had a brief but intense romance, but she had to leave him to go back to her hometown. Bach was heartbroken and wrote the song as a tribute to their relationship.
