I was 21 & moved to Huntington Beach in 86’ , it was a wild time to be there! Everyone was walking around with huge boom boxes blasting Metallica, Anthrax, Guns N Roses, & Slayer. Dark tans, women in g strings & drinking pitchers of beer for $3 under the pier. Going to LA on the weekends & clubs around OC. Everything was Metal 🤟🏼 , thought it would be like that forever 😢

[@HeadNtheClouds]

@@Freedom-gw5yoI’m going to see Baz on Friday. He sounds good & has new music & was just inducted into the Heavy Metal Hall of Fame. 🤟🏼🥳 I saw Skid Row back in the day, but also a few years ago & was surprised they had a different singer 😞 was so disappointed! He just sang songs like a little puppet with no soul or grit. Plus they only played 7 songs ☹️ Booo!

@@1211jinx he's just a little crazy, specially when he drinks. I grew up in the town in NJ he lived in. He was at a bar / restaurant one night. He went outside to have a cigarette, with his drink in hand. Someone told him he couldn't bring the drink outside so he punched him in the face, or through the drink n hit them in the face . Cant remember which, itvwas a long time ago. He is a Lil reckless. Boos makes it worse. It is for real though, no act, not for attention.

[@fashiondiva6972]

Jae Crowther no, it definitely was NOT a girl who threw the bottle. It was a male but Sebastian beat the shit out oh her with the bottle by “mistake” since he assumed. She was totally innocent. It cost him and his innocent band,ages half a million in damages. It cost the victim 125 head staples. All because some jackass GUY in the crown threw a bottle on stage.

Harpo's Detroit, a very small venue with chalkboard walls and every band that plays there gets to sign their logo on the wall anywhere they want with colored chalk. Then the manager sprays over it with hairspray to lock it in. I signed for "Violent Faith" and anybody whose anybody HAS to play Harpo's. I seen dokken, Metallica, faith no more, type o negative, Slayer, Korn...

I had more fun at TRACKS AND BOOKIES than Harpo's. We had nitrous keggers and strippers upstairs in the Detroit puppets apartment above the club.

His dad probably used to beat his ass so severely for prancing around looking like Tina Turner that he didn't want to push his luck with the high voice shit too.

[@lorettasearcy2023]

Age,smoking and all the screaming when he was with skid row and drinking and drugs

[@SteveIronedOut]

You can hear when he gets louder it goes higher. I think he spent a lot of time being loud during the Skid Row years and after

[@machupikachu1085]

He's got a really high speaking voice. Back then, he just dropped it to sound more masculine. Later when he got famous, he didn't GAF and talked in his comfortable speaking voice.

[@readyaimfire3454]

as a singer myself, i truly think it has a lot to do with the specific way he sings so high + loud. ive noticed that when i sing his songs, i stay in the upper mix/head register a lot. and when i do that long enough & loud enough, even just for 30 minutes of singing, my normal speaking voice sounds so much higher when i go back to it. my lower register is basically impossible to access, and it stays that way for the rest of the day ! i think sebastian doing this for decades has made his voice permanently higher. its worth it tho in my opinion. a voice that good is bound to demand some sacrifices lol
