    I couldn't help but tap on this video even though I knew I'd be crying the whole way through. It was the song that my wife and I danced to at our wedding. Cancer took her from me a few years back and every time I hear this song it absolutely destroys me, but I can't ever bring myself to turn it off.

    • @skelatorus
      @skelatorus 8 місяців тому +14

      His problem was singing live. He's like Axl Rose, gives it too much too early and loses his voice away too quickly. And back in the 80s he was always wasted on stage. I saw them once in '92 and they were good but a bit of a let down.

      @colinmclaughlin9047 8 місяців тому +5

      One of the most underrated to come from the hair metal scene. Many knew his talent, sadly the short longevity and lack of consistency of hits after their first release banished them to tour openers rather than Top Guys. I recall at the Moscow Music Peace Festival Crew, Row, Zack Wylde, and Jason Bonham covered "Rock & Roll" with Bach and Vince going back and forth and Bach just simply destroyed him on stage. Not too surprising now the way we know Vince turned out. But back then you immediately knew this dude (Bach) had chops for days with Crew being one of the biggest acts at that show and Row being relative new comers.

  • @SnapesHoney2800
    @SnapesHoney2800 8 місяців тому +252

    The best way I can describe Sebastian Bach.
    He is a well trained war horse. There is a massive amount of power in him. He can make it prance, canter, walk, gallop and full out power run. He knows how to and when to hold back. Yet even when gentle you can feel the power there.
    Like petting a giant work horse. You can feel the power underneath the surface, you know that horse could hurt you but they can hold it in and be so sweet and gentle.
    That is Sebastian, his voice can be so sweet and gentle. But he can turn that power on whenever he pleases. It is always impressive.

    ‘Monkey Business’ is the Skid Row you thought you were getting. Most of the band did not even want to record this song, but Bach wanted too (He was in charge of exactly nothing at the time), and Doc McGee (who was their manager - and KISS’s manager, and Bon Jovi’s manager, listened to the rough version, sided with Bach and forced them to do it. Everyone’s telling you to do ‘Wasted Time’ but you need to do the harder stuff that the band actually wanted to do - like ‘Slave to the Grind’ or the aforementioned ‘Monkey Business’ or even ‘18 and Life’ also a power ballad.

    Being a kid, and being homeless, I was invisible. I fell through all the cracks. People walk by like you don’t exist, and in this song, I saw a piece of me crying, reaching out begging to be remembered, to not be forgotten. And the song being the only voice saying ‘I will remember you.’
    Silly, maybe. It gave me hope when I had none.

      You got that right. I was a teeanger in the late 1980's. My first concert ever was Skid Row opening up for Bon Jovi in 1989 (was 18). Skid Row was so much better than Bon Jovi that the rumor was Jon changed Skid Row for a different opening band because the crowds were there for Skid Row. In 1992 Skid Row opened for Ozzy No More Tears tour and again, Skid Row outperformed Ozzy. Bach's vocal range even live was insane.

      To add, he's lamenting that he still remembers her and longs for what they had, and he wonders whether she feels the same... so many people saw this as a love song, when it was a love lossed song. Hence the progression from lighter to angst in his vocal expression.

    I've yet to see a vocal analyst on YT give enough credit to Sebastian's dirty/distorted screams. That's where his emotional delivery really shines and he's just on another level with it. It's really difficult to figure out how do that without wrecking your voice for the rest of the song. And it's even more difficult to scream on-pitch while walking up and down scales. Now start clean, transition to a dirty scream, then back to clean again like he does in this song. It's simply amazing, and yet too often (IMO) tragically overlooked and underrated.

    That ending of the first chorus is one of my favorite parts of this whole song, along with the very end of the song. It's just SO hauntingly beautiful. I've loved this song since the day I first heard it in 1988 or 89. It was on my "Love Songs" mixtape that my teenage friends and I would play, chilling in the woods around a bonfire at night, underage drinking, and slow dancing with the girls. Such wonderful memories and such a wonderful song.

It's so fun watching a classically trained, professional opera singer listen to (often for the first time) songs that have been staples in my musical library for decades. Your analysis of these songs is completely fascinating to this rock drummer who knows absolutely nothing about vocal technique. In truth, I've heard "I Remember You" so many times I'd be happy not to hear it again. But your analysis made it fun to revisit this song and helped me understand it on an entirely new level. Many thanks for what you do.

    I was 13 years old when Skid Row's debut album came out and I immediately fell in love with Sebastian Bach. I had posters of him and the band all over my room. It was clear that he was something special and he stood out from the rest of the rock stars of the time. I remember sitting in front of my TV and watching this video over and over. I still get goosebumps when I hear this song. It's so beautiful.
    I really enjoyed your analysis because after all these years and hundreds of times I've heard it, you've made me hear it in a way I never did before. Like other commenters have said, you should definitely do an analysis of Wasted Time and In a Darkened Room.
    A few things to know about Sebastian - he began singing pretty early in his childhood and was a natural performer. When he told his father that he wanted to be a rock star his dad said that he would support him and get him the proper training to do it if he was really serious so he did go through professional vocal training. Sebastian's last name isn't really Bach. It's Bierk and his father David was an artist. One of the things he painted was the cover of Skid Row's 2nd album, Slave to the Grind.
    Sebastian also was on Broadway in Jekyll & Hyde, The Rocky Horror Show, and Jesus Christ Superstar. I was lucky enough to see him in Jekyll & Hyde and The Rocky Horror Show. He was amazing. He also had a role on Gilmore Girls. Sebastian's still going strong and he's one of the only rock guys from the late 80s/90s who still tries to keep that kind of music alive.
    I think it's so funny that people in the comments here are saying that he's an underrated singer. He absolutely is not. He's known for being one of the best rock vocalists in history. The people who say this must be really young. Just because you've never heard of someone or something doesn't mean that it's underrated. At the time Skid Row's album came out, this kind of music was incredibly popular. Anyway, those of you who want to know more about him should just Google him. There's plenty that you'll find that'll show you that he's far from underrated. There's also a semi-decent A&E Biography that was recently made about him.

      His father used to curate the art gallery in Peterborough Ontario. His brother Zac was goalie for the junior A hockey team and played in the 1996 Memorial Cup in Peterborough, before playing briefly in the NHL for Phoenix. Sebastian sang the National Anthem during one of the Memorial Cup games. The sister I believe, rides horses. All round talented family.

    Fun fact about this song: the one line at the end of the song that has the extra harmony you noticed on "I remember...", that harmony is sung by Jon Bon Jovi. He heard the song and said "I gotta be on this" so they hid him in there uncredited.
    In a Darkened Room by Skid Row is my favorite song in the entire world. I have it tattooed on me. It makes me emotional, and Sebastian's voice on that song is unbelievable. Please review that one!! They have been my favorite band since i was a little kid, they mean the world to me. Scotti Hill is hands down my favorite guitar player on earth (who i was lucky enough to meet a few weeks ago and is a truly wonderful person) and he is known for his highly emotive guitar solos, especially on their ballads.

He's an absolute monster in the genre. And for me, the nasality doesn't turn me off. It helps with the projection and the clarity of diction. Sebastian is at the top tier for this stuff.

    I have to say the best part of watching these reaction videos particularly to 80’s metal bands is watching you react to the music I grew up on in a time when is “heshers” were basically outcasts. It’s almost like finally getting a reprieve when I see you reacting to what I knew 40 plus years ago was absolutely amazing. I feel so lucky to grow up in the time period I did. I was watching bands like this and motley crew play on the sunset strip for a crowd of 200 people when I was I teenager and I knew how awesome they were then!!

      I love it when that happens. I bought Cult tickets back in 1987 and couldn't have cared less who the opening act was. I had never heard of Guns and Roses before that show. They hadn't broken out yet. But they stole the show from the Cult. I think everyone in the audience was like "WTF did we just see???" Within a year GnR was massive and The Cult never really got any bigger... though their next album (Sonic Temple) did fairly well. But they were on the down slope of their careers and GnR was just getting started. Similar situation with INXS a few years earlier. They were the opening act for Adam & the Ants... and totally stole the show... and went on to be 10x bigger than Adam or any of the Ants. I learned back then to never turn your nose up at (or boo) the opening acts.
