What All Of Sebastian Bach's Former Bandmates Have Said About Him

[@Heavi]

What are your thoughts on Sebastian Bach?

[@mikeg6666]

Douchebag comes to mind!

[@aimeedouglas1584]

He’s amazing. He has a huge personality and that turns many off. And he was pretty hardcore into drugs and alcohol which turned a lot of people off given his impulsive behavior. But I think he’s a genuinely good person, an incredible vocalist and a devoted fan of rock music. I’m a huge fan.

[@customedge1]

1996, KISS had the biggest tour of the year. THE BIGGEST EVENT OF 1996. In fact, one of the biggest events of the 90s. Highest grossing tour of 1996. Would have been huge for them to be opening on that tour, exposing themselves to sold out shows and stadiums of 10s of thousands of people each night. Many times solid bands who open for the big boys can help the band become one of the big boys. KISS, Ozzy, Metallica, Van Halen, AC/DC, Scorpions- you give your left nut to open for these bands as it can open you to stardom. I may not like Bach but he was absolutely right on having the band open for KISS

[@janjohnson6622]

And that means what exactly?

[@forrest1402]

I love people like you that write full paragraphs , thinking people will read it 😆 narcissist

[@shellybean9]

Although thing is, they never said they were too big to open for Kiss. That was never said by the band period, but that however is what Sebastian says and ONLY Sebastian says. The band (all of them) tell a different story and that story is, they had just gotten off a long tour and were tired and burnt out and wanted to spend some time with their families. Bach accepts a Kiss tour without consulting with them first, like he thought he could make decisons for the whole band by himself? He was the voice of the band singing wise, but he wasn't the voice decision wise, that was a decision the whole band needed to make. They opened for Kiss four years later, they also didn't want to tour with Bach anymore. That was just one of the many nails in his coffin for them.

I have to say after being married to a semi famous drummer who had his share of bands thats been on tour did vidoes on MTV in the 80s and 90s but all band mates have problems with each other. They all have big egos and they all have ideas they think is best so they clash. The biggest thing I noticed its the egos that get in the way. I love my husband married 28 yrs but he had a big ego when it came to music he always wanted things his way and so did the other band mates. Every band has its clashing moments and many cant get over it... musicians are a different breed wild crazy big egos and a lot of fun. I guess all that craziness is what make us love our favorite bands and we hate it when they're no longer together. How I miss those days 80s and 90s where great times. Meet my husband in the early 90s crazy ass musician that stold my heart we were crazy in love thru all the craziness. He passed away a few months ago how I miss his crazy ass. A musician that actually stay married and truly loved me.

[@denislanza6228]

As a professional Hard Rock singer, I can tell you the things he did vocally were absolutely next level. No one can touch him. The closest anyone has come is Lzzy Hale but no male singers. I can get extremely technical about it, but that would probably be a waste unless someone really knew about singing.

Too bad Bach couldn't do the KISS gig with a backup band like Axl, Ozzy, or KISS. The voice is sound of the band, you replace that and it's a different band, unless you've got a musician like EVH. In fact he deserves the name Skid Row more than the current band. Most musicians and artists are slightly insane, that's why they're interesting to watch.

I loved early Skid Row and we all know lead singers can get a bit large headed. But they were great for their time... Soundgarden opened for Skid Row a couple times, and we saw where music went after that... For me that ended up being the best. Times change and music changes.

At some point you just have to be honest with yourself and everyone around you. Your young badass days are over. Your old and hopefully wiser. Accept and move on. Be thankful for what you had and show some dignity.

I attended a Skid Row show In the mid or late 90s , right before the wheels fell off. It was crazy seeing a platinum selling band playing for a crowd of maybe 300 in a building with 3,000 seat capacity. There was hardly anyone there. I felt embarrassed for the band but it was a great show.

[@rticle15]

In an interview, one of their producers, i think Wagener, said Bach confronted him years later. "You stole my publishing," Bach said. The producer had to tell him that he didnt have any publishing because he never wrote any songs. Million-dollar voice and a ten-cent bran.

[@Principessa180]

So , Michael Wagener said SB never wrote ANY songs ? What an thieving, deceptive industry .. I don't disbelieve Sebastian, He wrote MAM.

[@shellybean9]

Doc McGhee told him that on that show Supergroup he was on, when Bach was whining about it, and he was talking about the only album he produced for them which was the self titled. Bach gets no credits for Skid Row the first album only. Doc was like you don't get any publishing if you don't write anything. He had a slight credit on Makin' a Mess. The cd says slight credit.

Anyone who has been around Bach for more than 2 minutes will totally understand why Skid Row feels the way they do about him.

In opinion its not the same without Sebastian Bach from the beginning he was the main guy with strong vocals and inspiring songs and lyrics. You Guys need to work things out and let by gone be by gones you only get one chance in life make the best of it as you may regret it later. Sebastian Bach is a good vocalist and I feel that there should be a reunion with all original members that is how I feel about it. Now you have a new vocalist for the band it's not the same I'm sorry guys back in the days with Sebastian you guys rocked now it's like nothing and not the same anymore no vibes no nothing it's sad😢. Wish you all the best be safe God Bless

[@KevinVenturePhilippines]

I hung out with Skid Row in Nashville when they were making a demo in Mt. Juliet with Bob Rock and a different singer than Sebastian, Scottie was very cool, Rob was beyond awesome, Rachel was a complete and total Douche to EVERYONE, so bad in fact that one time I just started laughing at him, he asked what I was laughing at, and I said, I am laughing at you, because you are just a joke of a human being. Snake thought he was too cool to even hang out at all. Snake is childhood bro's with Jovi so he thinks he is royalty, and Rachel sucks him off I would guess.

[@tomnjer]

vocalists vs band members. band members are always jealous of vocalists, yes, they are all talented, etc. etc, but, the voice is the number 1 thing in a band. you can change guitarist/drummer/bassist 100 times and no one will notice it, but you change the vocalist and that band becomes a new band immediately. sorry for all the musicians but you have to accept this fact. plus, when they have a huge charisma and personality like sebastian, you will always stay behind his light. sebastian is skid row.

Sebastian's voice was like screaming hot silk & velvet - it was beautiful & his range was insane. Quicksand Jesus gives me cold chills - solely due to Sebastian's voice. I wish Rachel & Snake would have pulled their heads out of their own asses & agreed to reunite, but those two have proven to be THE MOST NOT-PUNK ROCK schmucks. I used to defend those douchebags...until I listened to an interview w/ Rachel & Snake saying why the band broke up (AKA two guys pissing & moaning like teenage girls). They cried about the bottle incident & how "irresponsible" it was of Bas, they whined about that aids shirt Bas wore on MTV once & went on to say Sebastian wasn't embracing diversity or inclusion. I shit you not. Rachel & Snake were crying b/c Bas wanted to HELP WRITE THE 2ND ALBUM (God forbid a band member actually want to contribute lyrics or music to a 2nd album, right??🙄🤬) In truth, Rachel & Snake didn't want writing credits going to anyone other than the two of them. Rachel said if Bas ever got writing credits, he'd want more money & have too much creative control. Years ago - right before our eyes - Rachel Bolan & Dave Sabo obviously transformed into corporate record label stiffs drowning in their own jealousy, greed & egomaniacal bullshit.There is NO replacing Sebastian. And the music Skid Row put out post-Bach was garbage.

[@Maynardd]

I’ve seen Skid Row four times, when they were at the height of their career . And they were ALWAYS The opening act….

[@niblet112]

With bands around at that time it’s not surprising. We were Very very spoilt back then.

[@titmusspaultpaul5]

Sorry, but the band (besides the drummer) are really up themselves. It started with Bach doing a deal with Kiss, thinking everyone would be really happy (he should have consulted first, but the band thought they were too important to play with the legends that are Kiss. Big as Skid Row were, they are full of themselves for thinking this). Bach was understandably pissed, as was the band, and Bach shouldn't have left a rude message. But it was just a fight. That's all, and it happens to everyone. And they band says they don't care about the fans, it's about them being happy. That's really disrespectful to us fans. We made them what they are, and when they fired Bach, they've pretty much dropped off the map. They should at least get together to do re masters of those first 3 albums, but the band just won't. And when touring, they don't even have to talk to each other or hang out. Many bands do this because they don't get on. Again, the band doesn't care and won't do it. Bach has come out on a few occasions and stated he would work with them again. The band members need to get their act together and stop being selfish.... and its not like they won't make a stack of cash. Anyway, rant over. Sorry for that, but as a big fan, I feel disrespected and sort of cheated. What do you all think?

[@pascaldeslongchampsmoncton1490]

He didn't say he didn't care about the fans, he said he didn't want to play with Bach for the good of his mental health. It's easy to say that they don't have to talk to each other to tour, I say it's impossible, especially at the level they would do it, which would be theater level. I saw them at their peak, on the slave to the grind tour, and they were playing 4000 seats arenas. So even if Bach come back, that won't put them back in 10,000 seats arena. No, if they don't want to play with him, that's their choice, big deal, there's bunch of other bands out there to listen too. It's hard to play in a band with someone you don't get along with, unless you are super huge, and make shit load of cash, which won't be their case. It's not worth it for them, and I get it.

[@tattooedgirl1000]

Or Baz broke Snakes heart or he sold his soul to the devil. Nothing else makes sense after 30 years. They should really grow up and get back together. They owe it to the fans, we made them who they are. They should be more humble. The fans want Baz, get your asses together, C'mon.

[@dlvox5222]

It sounds ridiculous to say, but as the vocalist in a STP tribute, I’ve run into the same problems. If you want the best musicians, they expect to be paid to rehearse and a minimum for shows as if they are “session” guys. People: this is why most unsigned bands suck that you see locally or in clubs. It’s economics.
