I’m with the person that said they grew up listening to Skid Row & never thought anyone could replace Sebastian, until you. The first time I ever listened to you, I didn’t WANT to like you!😂 But you’re amazing & on top of being a great singer, you seem like such a great guy! I’m about to turn 50 in March, have always had a lot of health problems & feel like I’ve learned a lot from you and how you’ve dealt with your own situation. You have such a positive attitude & way of looking at things. I’m so glad that Skid Row found you & helped me find you too!😊

I know nothing lasts forever and for me it's all about showing my respect to what Sebastian did on the first albums when I sing those songs. Hell... as a fan I wouldn't mind a reunion! But for now I'll just do the best I can with what I have.

Erik, your work in HEAT opened me to a whole bunch of music I didn't know I was missing. I was talking to a friend in 2017, saying "I wonder if anybody still makes the 80s hard rock I love so much". Did a Google search and there was a top 10 list. On that list was "It's All About Tonight". Within about 10 seconds, I KNEW. I went down a rabbit hole thanks to the Heavy Harmonies forum. HEAT, Eclipse, Sunstorm, Jorn, and a bunch of other groups. I'm finding more new music now than I did 30 years ago. And it all started with that opening riff. So, thank you. Congrats on the Skid Row gig and I'm so glad your health has returned.

I heard that you had joined, and was like "ok, just another singer to fill in...", and then I heard you, and holy shit you are incredible and a perfect fit for the band, and have given Skid Row a second life, something I never thought was possible.

I 100% agree with you on how cancer/leukemia can change your outlook on life. I have for most of my life been a negative person. Always moaning about trivial shit. Always expecting the worst. When I was diagnosed with blood cancer after what was a complete misfire of my brain (I won't go into the details as that's all on my channel if you feel like watching it), my initial reaction when I was told was "Ok, fair enough. Now what do we do?" ... I was so calm and laid back about it all. All through the treatment I remained positive, cracking jokes, laughing with the nurses and just generally being chill, and I think that attitude helped the treatment work better. Since it's all been done and dusted, had the stem cell transplant , got the all clear, my outlook on life has totally changed. I don't want to do a job I hate, working my fingers to the bone for money. I would rather do something I enjoy for less money and have a more relaxed life. I don't let shit stress me out. I don't see everything negatively anymore. I am not religious or spiritual, but I am certainly more at peace with myself and life in general (although I do still have gamer rage ha ha)

You have your own thing. Then I started seeing the covers you were doing, and it did not take long for me to become a fan of yours and then equally embraced what you bring to Skid Row. All that being said, my respect for you has just grown leaps and bounds by your answer to the question about being compared to SB and have you spoken with him. Well said sir and way to keep it real. I hope you always have your head screwed on straight and humility in check as you do now. I'm just very impressed with the way you comport yourself.

I ran into Sebastian Bach when a friend and I were bored and decided to walk down Hollywood Blvd. I was in my teens and he had just walked out of a bar. The bar was literally one door that led out onto the blvd. No signs above the door and no line to get into the bar. He walked out by himself. I told my friend “Hey that's Sebastian Bach!” and I turned in the direction he was going. My friend talked me out of following him or this would have been a much different story to tell. I had a huge crush on him back then in my teen years. He is still easy on the eyes. That night he looked sad with his head hung low as he walked alone in the evening night sky. I had an overwhelming sense that he was very sad, but I will never know why.

I have kidney disease, but I live each day at a time that’s all I can do. I can’t do anything else. I will not go on dialysis because I know what dialysis does cause my partners father was on dialysis, and I do not want to go through the same thing he went through. It was just prolonging life I’d rather go in one big bang mate as a Welshman as a Welshman. I want to live my life to the fullest as I possibly can, but sometimes deals you different Directions that you do not want to go it’s one of those things that happens in life and unfortunately it’s a real bitch mate you have life ahead of you you’re young and you’re strong and I hope you all the best in the world mate my doctors have said to me well Carl he won’t live long if you don’t go on dialysis and I said to them, did you not hear me? I do not want to go on dialysis for what my partners father went through again I am a gay male but that doesn’t make a difference we still human. I just wanna make sure my dogs and my cat safe after I go that’s all that matters to me for I love animals I’m an animal lover. I volunteer my time, my volunteer money over to WWF to help them save those not do what we are doing to them. I’m a good person and I’ve never done hard to anyone, but I just hope my next life if I have a next life will do me justice for this time that I’ve had on this earth God willing I will have the next life God bless you protect you and may God always look over you and look after you.

No offense to the other singers Skid Row has had they aren't you or Sebastian, yep, haha, before you that I never thought I'd say. It's Skid Row again. No offense to Mr. Bach; you have me torn. Also, love your covers you do too! Please keep them coming! Watching videos of people post live videos of recent Skid Row shows encourages me to play again. Hearing live vocals, through a P.A. or acapella, give me goose bumps when done right. You do that to me ever time especially those high notes. Keep up that hard work.

Hello Erik, I know it would be very difficult, but can you imagine a tour of Skid row having you both Erik and Sebastian on the stage?

Great job Sir, and thank you for sharing. Your approach to life, and living is most admirable, and you are definitely an inspiration, so thank you truly. And you are so very correct in following your health as your number one priority, in my opinion anyway. So sorry that Covid "blocked"😷🥴 you guys from getting to Sacramento in December, but i look forward to the rescheduled show sometime this 2024! Take care, Erik, and thanks again for all that you share! Cheers!

Hey Mark! Thank you, I appreciate it very much. Yeah... postponing shows is always disappointing. I hope I will get to sing for you soon enough. Cheers!!

Probably the best take i have heard on what success is, ofc what it is, is subjective, but i totally agree with your assessment of what it is!

I was a teenager in high school when Skid Row released their debut album. I’m probably the same as most fans from the same era, we love and prefer the band more for nostalgia reason with Bach. It’s the memories that make us lean toward Bach. It’s been a very long time since the band has been together, I think we can rule out any type of reunion. When I first saw a video of you singing with the band, it was fantastic. I’m a stubborn old man who fears change but you earned a fan with me. The music is still Skid Row and you add something a little different that works very well. I have one question for you Bach who ?

It’s nice to know about how you take care with your voice before shows!! I read one day Eric Martin saying “Sleep 8 hours” and that’s true, it’s so good to voice when you sleep properly. Ohh, btw, you could make an online singing course! (I would buy it easily!) with your vocal warm ups and distortion vocals techniques

@ I loved seeing your singing tips. I already did all this, not going out a day before, sleeping well, eating healthy things... but we know that most singers want to live a crazy life on the road, post-show, drinks and end up destroying their voice. And seeing someone like you, your vocal quality, such a powerful voice and singing such difficult things on tour, taking all these precautions, is inspiring. I hope many singers and singing students see your words ❣️
