Skid Row - Wasted Time I Singer Reacts I

[@caphowdy666]

The song was written by Bach about his friend Steven Adler, the drummer in Guns N Roses who had such a bad heroin addiction that he was fired from the band, and while they went on to be one of the biggest bands in the world his life spiraled downwards, to the point that five years after this song he had a drug related stroke that has left him with partial facial paralysis ever since.

[@randykelley6826]

Bach wrote the words but the band wrote their own arrangements for each of their instruments.

[@caphowdy666]

@@randykelley6826 I know that. But I am specifically talking about the lyrics. Bach doesn't write music or play any instrument.

Popcorn Adler was in GNR during the height of their popularity so idk what "went on to become" as if Guns N Roses made more than one album worth ever mentioning after Appetite For Destruction. Nobody was listening to that shit by the time they had to hire Buckethead so an actual musician would be involved with the process again at some point lol

This song reminds me of my best friend every time I hear it. He died of an overdose and I could see it coming for a long time but I couldn't stop it from happening eventually. I knew it was bad, but just before he passed, I finally found out just how bad he'd gotten. This song played in my head the whole time at his funeral.

[@Kansika]

I have seldom seen as much authentic awe, emotion and admiration as these Skid Row videos are getting. They deserve all the love, not only bc back in the day they suffered a bit from being too heavy for mainstream but too cheesy and glam for others. Sebastian Bach is just an unbelievable talent and a force of nature but lets not forget how much he practiced and studied his art. You can have technique without emotion but you can't have emotion without technique. -any Bach ever. Many mistakes are mistakes until you make something else out of them, true. If we're talking about jazz, marriage or business, no problem, but if someone dies, a house burns down, or like a friend from school did back in the day; burned down square km's of old natural forest in a nature reserve, you still get to pay millions in compensations to the state no matter how much your character had improved.

[@matthewvade6553]

Sebastian is my hands down, favorite vocalist ever. I had no idea who he was or anything about Skid Row until I saw them live, opening for Bon Jovi on April 10, 1989. Within 30 seconds of Sebastian's first vocal I knew I was heading to the record store to get their album the next day. And as for his hair and the rest of his looks, my sister was also at that concert. She went shopping the next day too, but for the poster instead of the album. And while this song probably shows off his vocals better than any of his songs, to get a better feel for the music Sebastian actually preferred check out their song "Slave to the Grind." I don't remember what show it was on but about 15 years or so ago, it was voted the third best heavy metal song of all time.

[@ozzman530]

I discovered this song a couple weeks ago. I'm glad my reaction was the same as yours. The control in Sebastian's voice is incredible.

I was around to see Skidrow perform live a few times during their peak in the late 80’s early 90’s. I then saw them years later with different singers, and it was so glaring how incredible Bach’s voice was compared to the others. A supreme metal voice, a great stage presence, and yes incredible hair! I really wish he could have worked it out with the other guys in the band, as none of the parties were as good or successful without each other.

[@keithkanin7442]

I grew up on 80's hair metal. That's all there was for me for the longest time. Sebastian Bach WAS the voice of the 80's. Sure, there were a few bands that were bigger than Skid Row, but none had a bigger voice. You picked a great song as an intro to their music. Next, I suggest something more of a banger. Maybe try either Youth Gone Wild or Makin a Mess from their debut album or Slave to the Grind and Monkey Business from their second album.

[@IggyStardust1967]

Don't know if anyone mentioned this or not, but "The Horse" (that stampedes and rages) is a reference to the slang term for heroin. As many people have found out, you start riding the horse, it soon takes over and leads you down a dark path. My father died from a heroin overdose at the age of 28. I was barely a year old at the time. My mother (also an addict) gave up custody of me to his mother. I didn't learn of all this until my early 20s, as she kept that hidden. Maybe she figured I'd endured enough childhood trauma, and didn't need to learn that. I've sworn to never take heroin, and here I am.... I'm 57 years old, and have lived more than twice the time my father did. Hell, I'm older now than my mother was when she died. I don't think she even made it to 50, and if she did, it was just barely. I will also add that I am physically disabled at this point, and I take opioids for pain. My spine is completely shot, my joints are messed up, and I have nerve problems. But my doctor keeps me on lower dosages, and my wife is there to make sure I don't do anything stupid. I have a good support system in place. But it could have gone very different in my younger years, if anything had happened differently.
