SKID ROW - WASTED TIME REACTION

[@jimmymac4559]

The guitarist, Snake, started this band after he failed an audition for Cinderella. He said he wasn’t going to fail any more auditions. Seemed to work out. Slave to the Grind is a masterpiece.

[@twistedresto5029]

100%

[@rebeccarockchik6704]

💯

[@guitarbyrd3425]

I never knew that. Thats pretty cool. Good thing for us he failed the audition. We ended up with 2 great bands instead of one

[@poopsebeb]

Slave to the grind always gives me the kick in the ass that I need

[@scotthansen8127]

It was after he did a 3 week tour with Bon Jovi in support of his first album. (They we’re childhood friends)When the got back he was replaced by Sambora. Bon Jovi also helped Skid Row get their 1st record deal.

[@roberthanson6156]

He has some of the greatest metal vocals of all time

@@jasonbodden8816 Yes he was in his 20s then,bodys age as well as the voice

[@thatguy7080]

@@jasonbodden8816 yeah, as much as everyone loved his vocals, when they’re sang like that, they’re gonna be short lived. Glad he lived for the moment tho. It wouldn’t have been the same, and it will be remembered for a long time!

[@irocitZ]

This song title reminds me how dumb Skid Row has been for 20+ years, and please don't tell me how good all of the shity singers or drummers SR hired to replace Baz and Rob are. Can't replace or replicate the classic lineup, all SR has managed to do is waste time.

[@buddyryan4029]

Hes not dead , hes talking about the drummer for Guns and Roses

[@benbreeg4881]

He has the ultimate voice. In his prime he was untouchable. I love your reactions. You have so much love and empathy. You are an amazing person.

[@jessesandoval9126]

YES!!!!! He made this song for his friend Steven Adler from from Guns n' Roses. This song hits hard for me💔🖤 Thanks again Jayy❤️🔥

[@PaulChapmanPcTech]

Steven pissed away his life, he could have had it made forever if not for the drugs.

[@mr.kelley6556]

actually the whole band wrote this song according to sebastion bach in an interview.

[@LadaleDesu]

@@PaulChapmanPcTech the whole band was on drugs dude lol.

[@danielking4607]

Guns were 3 years in. Adler still had a job

[@Ultra-Collector]

I actually worked with Tyler and his son Steven Jr in 07 and never knew this!

[@joekrueger6428]

The greatest rock vocalist in history period!!

[@MetalMcfly]

"But the Horse stampedes and rages in the name of desperation" ... amazing lyrics

[@benbreeg4881]

One of the most amazing lyrics ever written

[@Cable2k]

@@benbreeg4881 yep ...the horse ... slang for Heroin.

[@CASNY4METAL]

talking about the drugs

[@rickberkman483]

When I hear this song, it's like hearing it for the first time every time. I remember when this song and album came out, and still relive that time when I hear it. Alot of people don't realize that my generation had some great music. So thank you for recognizing things that ment such to us so long ago💕

[@YodasMama]

"Where's my friend I used to know.....he's all alone, he's buried deep within a carcass searching for a soul....." Yes you did hear him say something about a friend ♥️

[@jimmyjameson8705]

One of the greatest songs ever written and sung by a force of nature.

[@cathiegohringer7798]

I just saw Sebastian Bach in concert this last Saturday night here in Denver, I took my 16 yr old daughter, and we got front row. I will just say Holy Sh**!!!! Especially when he sang this song, Wasted Time. What an amazing show!!!!! Just as good as when I saw him with Skid Row several times 30 sumthin' years ago. Sebastian can still Rock the roof off the building. It was 2 hours of the greatest vocals!! My daughter is still on cloud 9. If y'all get a chance to see Sebastian Bach live, DO IT!!!! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!

[@LN-Lifer]

Teen boys had Skid Row posters. But our girlfriend's had Sebastian. But you couldn't get jealous.... Dude was just too undeniably beautiful

[@martinwhite3559]

This song is about Steven Adler. He was the original drummer for Guns N Roses. He is still alive. He was kick out of the band for drug abuse. How bad do you have to be to get kicked out of Guns N Roses for Drug Abuse. Skid Row and Guns N Roses were very close. They often toured together.

[@tonycampbell4982]

Scott Hill is Skid Row on those first two albums

[@tite7890]

The song is about Steven Adler who was the drummer for the band Guns N Roses. He had an addiction to heroin and they fired him. Steven is still alive.

[@ironmaidenman1457]

Probably one of the greatest voices of our time

[@Craig-m5i]

This song hits close to home. Many a friend lost their battle with addiction. Thank God for every breath I take!! 11 months clean!! Life is to precious so enjoy the beauty. Sebastian's vocals touch my soul.

[@aitvabingdonindependent9949]

I love this tune, in the day Seb could wail. This shows of every ounce of his skill.

[@TheRealJonnyLaw]

The passion is so real. This song always tears me up.

[@danmellen1423]

Incredible vocals. Love this band

[@MsCruisein]

Sebastian Bach is the man with the golden pipes and the golden mane. That whole Slave to the Grind Album is killer. Listen to Monkey Business or Slave to the Grind.

[@melanielucas4155]

I agree with you Jayy about Sebastian's voice. It is just incredible! Like me he is Canadian, he is from Ontario, I am Quebec Montreal. This is such a beautiful song. The melody of it is haunting. Like other have said it was written about GNR drummer. I always love your comments on songs and your pure emotion listening to them. Luv ya Jayy!

[@edlubitz2968]

When I was a kid I was in detox with the guy who this song was about, he was the old bassest for this band

[@buccanero]

Sebastian Bach is one of the most emotional singers out there!

[@ricks7093]

His voice can move your soul

[@alricaneshama]

Steven Adler and Sebastian Bach were very good friends. Steven Adler became addicted to drugs. He's alive but he did lose him. Just not to death. Steven Adler was the drummer for the band Guns N' Roses

[@bigjim4577]

This is the most beautiful reaction to this song I've seen. I could feel you feeling it. Your emotions were so raw. The power of music is amazing. And Skid Row is such a talented band.

[@jasonbodden8816]

This is one of the best songs about addiction ever written.

[@garypino1268]

Thank you for that emotion on wasted time. Sebastian wrote this for the drummer of guns and roses back then. Steven adler is still with us he did make it. But it was a hell of a song. One of the best vocals ever. He did end up on Broadway a few years later

[@CASNY4METAL]

good reaction, sick vocals

[@hanklutcavich2468]

Thank you. Anybody who has had/has an addiction can feel this song. The song is for Steven Addler the first drummer of Guns 'N Roses. Nice reaction, Luvv you Jayy

[@fitzeefreshvids1888]

His buddy was high sitting on bed in video, high as a kite! Quicksand Jesus is another song he has even more range believe it or not, Staggering!

[@JimsonJameson]

Man this hits me where I live.

[@jasonhudgins6153]

It is about addiction. The horse stampedes and rages. Horse is slang for Heroine

[@johngriggsjr.2271]

Skid Row had some of the most underrated solos of that generation.

[@lynnb751]

nice job, thanks for the emotion

[@matthewmatt5285]

REAL~

[@shweetpotato]

YESSS I've been waiting for this one

[@dalefleming6427]

ME TOO

[@hisbean]

I've heard a few people, do covers of this song. While they did a good job, NO ONE will ever do Skid Row songs, the way Sebastian did. That many sang from the depths of his soul. He just pours his emotions, into everything he sang.

[@lotsofgrizzlies3525]

Amazing song, sound like 80 90. Beautiful. Ballad.

[@love4scotland]

Sebastian is amazing. I also love Quicksand Jesus for another emotional one (for me at least)

[@poppycock6572]

Your reaction requires no words really... yeah, this was a real feel good song 😬 ... it means so much, to so many. Yeah, me too.

[@mariamenegalli2321]

Was written for his friend Steven Adler from GnR, who was battling a nasty Heroin Addiction (white horse). Steven Adler is still alive and from what I understand is clean and sober but suffered a stroke, and will never be the same.

[@janellekyle7529]

This song was written for the drummer of Guns N Roses Steven Adler. It’s about how lost everything to a heroine addiction. Sabatian Bach and Steven Adler were great friends.

[@inakilekue5554]

I love your reaction to this awesome band! This was dedicated to a friend of his

[@mannycarinha770]

Skip row was from my home town here in Jersey. They played in my buddy’s basement Sebastian put his soul into the music that’s why they are amazing in there prime

[@jodyrolandconstruction6577]

Skid Row “Monkey Business “ is the banger Jayy🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@cynthiachatterton1465]

Thank you for getting the story everyone else I've watched did not

[@mangerinegirl]

There’s a lot of debate over who this song was written about, but what we do know for sure is that when Sebastian sang it, he really felt it. You’re right about that. Still one of my favorites by Skid Row, it punches you in the gut. Their most popular songs are the sad ones but they also do harder stuff that’s not quite as emotional. Lots to check out if you want to, but even if you don’t I thank you for doing this one. I’m always happy to see this band on your channel.

[@stephenmcgraw8871]

"Wasted Time" saved my life,period.....I got into rehab cuz of this song and will take this to the grave---have had several run-ins with these guys,friends now,and told`em about it....humbling,but the tune was GOD-given and saved me......I`ll love these guys always.....

[@PaulChapmanPcTech]

I grew up with this music, now you know why I ditched school more than showed up to it.

[@kandoo1316]

Quicksand Jesus is another very strong ballad

[@dalefleming6427]

Horse is also a slang term for heroin, so that is imo part of the line ".....but the horse stampedes and rages"

[@benbreeg4881]

Such an amazing lyric

[@LordRahl1975]

Amazing song by an amazing band. Quicksand Jesus and Monkey Business next please! About Steven Adler who is still alive but what he “left behind” was the success with Guns N Roses when he was fired by the band.

He did he had a good friend who was addicted to heroin. He was the drummer for Guns N’ Roses. His drug addiction got so severe that he ended up having a stroke and was partially paralyzed hence, his career was over.

The greatest music from the heavy bands.. or glam bands..or euro bands in the 80s and very early 90s were about pain. The most lasting music from all genres include either pain or love. There are a ton of just fun songs as well.
