Sebastian Bach. A favorite of mine as a teen struggling to survive the 80's alone. This band was real relatable from the glamoured street look to the lyrics that seem life keeps you on the edge of insanity and struggles to stay out of the seedy side of life and all the ways death can find you.
I’m 54 and VIVIDLY recall being mocked by my peers when I said then that this would be one of the greatest rock vocals of all time. So glad to see you younger folks enjoying this brilliant singer and band!
@@therealcportugal what happened to grunge bands after the impact of Kurt's death? All of them slowly died as well. While the 80s Bands focused on Power Ballads which helped them get back on the mainstream. I like grunge but it's cheap unlike the 80s Rock/Metal songs that has quality from start to finish.
Yes. This is them giving the record company a middle finger. They were not iterested in more of the same. They went heavy and did the music they wanted to do from the start, and they didnt care if the "girls" liked it or not.
Some people are not aware that Sebastian Bach had bel canto (operatic) vocal training in his role as the lead soprano in his Anglican Church choir, and that his family wanted to send him to Julliard for more voice training. But he decided he wanted to be a rock singer, so instead of going to Julliard, he took that wonderful instrument of his, learned how to apply distortion to it in a way that he would not damage his vocal cords, and went off to join the rock band, Skid Row. In addition to being a rock singer, he’s done live theater on Broadway. He was in the live version of The Rocky Horror Show, played the lead role in Jekyll and Hyde, and was a great Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar. Some of his Broadway performances are on UA-cam. He will occasionally sing with a clean tone, like the last note in Wasted Time, showing you he actually could sing opera well.
The name of the singer is Sebastian Bach. He was the love of all girls back in 80's-90's who listened heavy metal! You should listen the best 3 songs of them: Skid Row - Youth Gone Wild Skid Row - 18 and Life Skid Row - I Remember You
"He literally looks like a lion...a Majestic voice of a god angel... dessert." One of the best ever descriptions I've ever heard describing Sebastian Bachs awesomeness 😂
the second album "Slave to the grind" still one of the best Heavy rock/Metal album of all time ! A real blast when it cames out ! The first one was great too, i miss this band ...
Hell yeah David. They had a super smash hit with their first record and when a lot of bands in this era would commercialize for the second record, Skid Row came out harder and stronger! Slave came out and it was like they were channeling Metallica! So many memories with their songs.
"He literally looks like a lion. Like his hair is just powerful. Majestic voice of a Greek god...angel...dessert." I died laughing at that comment! Best description of Sebastian Bach ever! Being a teen of the 80s, I got to live that era of music. No Auto Tune. No over processed vocals or music. Back then you either had the talent or you didn't. Bach was one of the greatest vocalists of that era.
It actually makes me so depressed for the younger generation when I hear you say "Who is this singer?"!!!! Most "younger" people make fun of 80's metal...yet never listened to it. Granted, there was some really cheesy, terrible bands that came out...but most of them were in the early 90's...It was a whole different time man...standing in line for concert tickets for days, actually buying the music and having a physical copy of it, counting down the days a new cassette was going to be released so you could be the first one to get it, open it, smell it and check out whether or not it had the lyrics in it...which was a bonus! Over the years, my taste for music has gotten alot heavier and now listen to pretty much metalcore only, but will always have a soft-spot for 80's dirty metal! Horns up my friend!
I know a lot of people are gonna throw the other ballads out there like 18 & life and I remember you, but to really get an understanding of Bach and his vocals, you need to hear stuff like Slave to the grind, Monkey business and Youth gone wild. That will give you a much better understanding and also show you he was not a one trick pony. But if you were blown away by Bachs vocals on this ballad, I would also recommend checking out the ballad Never let you go by Steelheart. Now that guy has some pipes on him as well.
I agree that Slave to the Grind and Youth Gone Wild are awesome. I still think he should give 18 and Life a go. I remember you is a great ballad though and is also worth a listen.
It always blows me away when someone has never heard of the great, huge bands of our earlier days. To me skid row is still as relevant and GNR and Motley. How is this? Sebastian Bach is one of the great vocalists of our time.
@Christopher Bingham I agree about skid row, or even just sebastion bach headlining small clubs. I wasn't referring to popularity, I was referring to the relevance of the actual music that it has to me specifically. The albums Skid row and especially slave to the grind still stand up as strong to me as gnr & motley albums. I put bon jovi in that category too. Of course you can't compete with appetite though. That one stands above them all.
Absolutely a master of his craft...He is touring still, playing the first Skid Row album in it's entirety. He is such a great entertainer and loves his fans it really comes across, will always love Bas!
I grew up listening to Skid Row, Sebastian "Bas" Bach is one of a frickin kind! They don't make them like him anymore. He's got an amazing voice and the look, the frontman charisma, he had it all
SEBASTIAN BACH is the singer, my friend.Thank you for the reaction video that finally reflected what we 80s kids felt every time a new album came out. Damn, that was fun.
Sebastian Bach 😍... Every girl had a poster of him on the wall ,he's a phenomenal vocalist and for me the hottest frontman from the late 80s. Everybody stepped on Axl Rose's bandwagon back in the day but Seb was waaay better (and still sings this good today!)
better than AXL umm no and not close, axl had that stage presence craziness that made gnr of the best rock bands ever , bach was good but 2 albums and they were done basically
@@bryanhylok9961 Kinda like GnR then. Apart from Appetite and Illusion they didnt really do much else did they? Lies and cover-album don't really count.
seen him last year and no doesn't sing anything close to what he was, every girl?? no the best lead vocal was ChrisCornell and for entertainment yes it wa AXL if Sebastian was so good than why was he opening for GNR and not other way around?? thought so
@@jordanschlansky4093 yeah cant argue that but both will make millions touring that's for sure , new music neither will put out anything worth it really
Got to meet Sebastian a few years ago, not only is he one of the greatest Rock singer of all time, but is one of the sweetest, nicest guys ever....he truly appreciates his fans.
The singer is Sebastian Bach, known him for 26years. He still has one of the best voices out there. Hes done duets with Axle Rose and Rob Halford. Totally insane
Totally love Seb Bach. You're reaction to his voice is exactly the way I feel every time, physically affects me, goose-bumps and (especially with this track) makes my eyes well up with tears. Astonishing.
In the 80s and 90s his voice could make men stand in awe, and women drop their... enough of that. I absolutely love this song, and Sebastian's voice. Man, it was good!
FYI, the song is about heroin. (“The HORSE stampedes and rages...” horse is slang for heroin). If I remember right it was about Adler from GnR and his drug addiction.
You're absolutely correct, it was all about Steven Adler's descent into heroin addiction. Adler's natural personality leads people to really loving the guy and it was so painful to see him waste himself away with heroin.
Bueno Skid Row y Sebastian en especial en mi opinión es la mejor voz Hard Rock de la historia , lo he seguido toda mi vida , es un maestro , grande , canta como los ángeles , sin mencionar lo guapísimo que es , con ese porte y esa hermosa cabellera rubia 🥰😍😘🤩❤💯💥👌👍🤟🎤🎤🎤🎤🎵🎼🎶🎸🎸🎸🎛🎛🎛
I can't believe that you've never heard of Skid Row! They were my favorite band in high school. Once Sebastian Bach left the band disappeared! He is the band! 💞
Sebastian Bach is on of my favorite singers of all time. The song is about wasting all of you time while on drugs. The lyrics are great as well, thank you for reacting to this song.
Sebastian Bach was a badass singer. Skid Row kicked ass back in 1985 to about 1995. Another band to check out is Steelheart Their singer was awesome too
We were so spoiled in these times to get this kind of music and vocals. Remember in 91 buying this album and listening to it 24/7. Damn i wish i could turn back time. Time goes by to freakin fast. Remember to enjoy the moment it will never come back again,
this song is heavy...meaning that he has lost a freind to addiction. I have always thought that is what this song is about. You can hear the pain; the loss; the anger in his voice. I have heard this song more times than I can count, and it still tears me up and gives me chills. The album that it is the closer of - Slave To the Grind - is probably one of the most underated albums in all of metal!! Every song on it is legit...truth!! Phenomenal band from that era!!
Without a doubt, one of THE best vocalist in rock ‘n’ roll of all time! He went on to star in three Broadway shows! Jesus Christ superstar, Jekyll and Hyde, and Phantom of the opera. His voice is an example of true raw talent🤘🏼
I was born the same year as Sebastian so I grew up with these bands. Those concerts were a lot of fun- back then it was often general admission…front row with Skid Row on stage- just unforgettable. And yes, he sounded and looked just like this. He made me think of a gorgeous Irish setter- they’re like perpetual teenagers- with an edge of a volatile fighting dog. He seemed to have no fear and no inhibitions and endless lung powers 😄
The vocals are outstanding and unmatched. But you ought to do another reaction about the song and the words. . I love what you do you do a great job . THANK YOU ! ! !
That look on your face after the last cord rings out is a snap shot of how we all felt back in 91 as we just started to understand what a monster of an album 'Slave to the Grind' is. Exhausted. Disbelief, wonderment. etc etc.
Don't sound surprised.Sebastian Bach has one of the greatest and most under rated voices ever.His voice is stunning.Been a fan since 1989 amd seen him live.
Welcome to your first time hearing Sebastian Bach. My all time favorite vocalist. The dude is insane and still is. I just saw him live on the 30th anniversary skid row tour in Cleveland Ohio and he sounded amazing. I have videos of it up on my UA-cam. What you said about him having everything you would want in a vocalist is spot on. The dudes range is crazy. Listen to 18 & life, quicksand Jesus, in a darkened room, or monkey business. They all showcase his vocals very well. A lot of people say he can’t sing, and where I agree he doesn’t sound like he did back then. He is still really good though.
Dude, you have to hear Skid Row's In A Darkened Room!! One of my all time favourite songs. And in this rock fan's humble yet educated opinion (I'm 46, I was there the first time round) the greatest melding of vocals and lead guitar of all time. It soars buddy. Keep it up champ and enjoy. Haydn in London
6:45 this is the look one should have when they hear greatness like this for the first time - as compared to the utter garbage we have to listen to these days
The emotion on the vocals in this song is amazing ...you can hear the pain and desperation in his screams ..and that scene in the video he kneels down as he keeps on screaming the lyrics with a hurtful face ... holy shit ..amazing Song and Vid !!! ..it brings tears and pain to the people that identifies and may have someone close struggling with some kind of pain or agony and is unable to seek for help !!
I saw that tour in Chicago in 92, and they had Megadeth with them too. People were throwing chunks of sod at each other and they almost shut down the concert. It was nuts!
For those of us in the know, it’s hard to think of people NOT knowing how bad ass Skid Row is. Sebastian in the 80s could hang with the best of them. Unreal talent.
I was fortunate enough to see Baz perform two years ago and I will absolutely go again in the future. All these years later and he is still KILLING it. I would have given a kidney to see him when he was on Broadway.
I use to be totally obsessed with this Adonis. One of the few perks of being in your 40s was experiencing Sebastian Bach and his cheekbones first hand. :p
46 here. I remember being 16, driving through town in a '73 Pontiac Ventura, blasting Skid Row as loud as it would go. On cassette, of course lol. Good times.
Watching other people dig these songs gives me goosebumps. This is it, this is why everyone talks about the music in late 1980's. This is what they gave us, nothing like today. Not many can pull these notes off.
Sebastian Bach is an amazing vocalist! I remember listening to Skid Row when I was a kid in the late 80s. You've got to listen to: I Remember You (really showcases his vocals and the video is heart-rending) 18 and Life Youth Gone Wild You're in for a treat!
I went to the Skid Row show at that time, Sebastian bach has an incredible voice I was like you, when I heard him sing live. I was more enchanted this man was beautiful he had a wonderful voice he was the show
Yup, it was. Sebastian wrote it about Steven. I also had a friend who was addicted to heroin. What totally blows my mind, the kid at the very end of the video looks so much like my now deceased friend it's spooky. A couple weeks after he died, we were hanging out watching a mix video that someone had made. The video for Wasted Time came on and I totally lost it. I hadn't cried at his funeral because I was still in shock, but when the video came on, I was a sobbing mess. To this day, I have trouble watching the video.
Thank you sooooo much for reacting to it for my birthday you a real one 😭😭💖 i love you sooo much Alex!!!
De donde eres Sarah ?
Sarah Ramirez happy birthday Sarah! Hope you had a great one! Love you back
Happy birthday!
Alex Skid Row Slave to the grind
Sarah Ramirez happy birthday Sarah!!!
Sebastian Bach is an unbelievable singer. One of the greatest of the 80s.
1 of the greatest of all time you mean.
His vocal range is phenomenal
My favorite band when I was in high school
He needs to listen to Steelheart. Talk about some singing.
actually late 80's early 90's era
I mean, if you doing skid row, you gotta do "youth gone wild", "18 and life", and "I remember you". All phenomenal songs.
Or any of their Bach songs
Seriously. Those are the songs to do. 18 and life for sure.
Damn right
blacktytrix right? Any of those would’ve been a better introduction to Skid Row, but, I get that this was a special one for Sara’s 21st.
Yeah exactly
“Who is this singer?” He is a gift from the gods of rock n roll. 😜
AMEN!
Fuck yes brother
Best answer ever! 😍
Sebastian Bach. A favorite of mine as a teen struggling to survive the 80's alone. This band was real relatable from the glamoured street look to the lyrics that seem life keeps you on the edge of insanity and struggles to stay out of the seedy side of life and all the ways death can find you.
Been listening & loving for 30ishh years...saw them live every chance I could. Try Quicksand Jesus and In a darkened room....
I am 51 years old, so I am a product of the 80's. Skid Row was one of my favorite bands. Sebastian's vocals...OMG.
Same age and I agree. Skidrow and Sebastian Bach rocked my youth.
@@goochma 💯
Same age here, the 80's era alone made my life. The hairband era anyways. Loved them all, still do.
@@cindyjensen2185 totally...
I’m 54 and VIVIDLY recall being mocked by my peers when I said then that this would be one of the greatest rock vocals of all time. So glad to see you younger folks enjoying this brilliant singer and band!
Skid Row - 18 and Life
Skid Row - I Remember You
Monkey Business
I remember you 💕
Youth Gone Wild
up
Yep,these 2 for sure!
Hard and heavy song "Monkey Business". His vocals are great.
Not enough cowbell!
My favorite of them
Slave To The Grind too!
Quicksand Jesus
@@fatshady5714 And The Threat!
this is an example of why the music I grew up with in the 80's kills anything thats out there today
AMEN
truer words have never been said, you can not beat the 80s rock/metal
agreed, this new "music" is utter garbage
Except when Soundgarden, and Alice in Chains arrived, and no more 80's hairbands...
@@therealcportugal what happened to grunge bands after the impact of Kurt's death? All of them slowly died as well. While the 80s Bands focused on Power Ballads which helped them get back on the mainstream. I like grunge but it's cheap unlike the 80s Rock/Metal songs that has quality from start to finish.
Sebastian Bach has an incredible vocal range and has performed on Broadway in fact. He's incredibly talented.
Skid Row’s Slave To The Grind is great from start to finish. No skips. I can easily listen to it on repeat.
Slave to the Grind is that banger that gets you so pumped everytime you hear it.
Completely accurate statement!
I have 2 copies of it. One is the European release with "Get the Fuck Out" as track number 6. The other has "Beggar's Day"
1st 2 releases.....after that Not so much
Yes. This is them giving the record company a middle finger. They were not iterested in more of the same. They went heavy and did the music they wanted to do from the start, and they didnt care if the "girls" liked it or not.
If you think he's phenomenal on that song, listen to Skid Row - Quicksand Jesus.
Zachary Wright true dat!
Yes
Most definitely.
For me, Subhuman Race was just like the album Dog Eat Dog by Warrant... greatly underappreciated.
The one where they have the live part in the song
Some people are not aware that Sebastian Bach had bel canto (operatic) vocal training in his role as the lead soprano in his Anglican Church choir, and that his family wanted to send him to Julliard for more voice training. But he decided he wanted to be a rock singer, so instead of going to Julliard, he took that wonderful instrument of his, learned how to apply distortion to it in a way that he would not damage his vocal cords, and went off to join the rock band, Skid Row. In addition to being a rock singer, he’s done live theater on Broadway. He was in the live version of The Rocky Horror Show, played the lead role in Jekyll and Hyde, and was a great Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar. Some of his Broadway performances are on UA-cam.
He will occasionally sing with a clean tone, like the last note in Wasted Time, showing you he actually could sing opera well.
I’m still jealous of his beautiful hair. It’s not right that he had better hair than most girls 😂
Jajaj
He really was just prettier than most girls in every way!
The name of the singer is Sebastian Bach. He was the love of all girls back in 80's-90's who listened heavy metal! You should listen the best 3 songs of them:
Skid Row - Youth Gone Wild
Skid Row - 18 and Life
Skid Row - I Remember You
Love 18 and Life
I'd throw Quicksand Jesus on that list too.
@@JustNice980 Monkey Business!?
@@damienmaynard8892 Absolutely!
I love Youth Gone Wild!
"He literally looks like a lion...a Majestic voice of a god angel... dessert." One of the best ever descriptions I've ever heard describing Sebastian Bachs awesomeness 😂
Yasssss!!!
That's true!!!! 😂😂😂
LOL. Yeah, that was pretty awesome.😂
Yeah that's accurate when he was young but now he looks like Scar 😂
@@paolo-1283 but compared to axl he looks better 😏
the second album "Slave to the grind" still one of the best Heavy rock/Metal album of all time ! A real blast when it cames out ! The first one was great too, i miss this band ...
Truth
Still have this album on tape from when I was a kid
@@jasonlazenby8895 Same :)
I bought it 4 times for abusing them. The only album I bought a few times too was Queensryche Operation Mindcrime
Hell yeah David. They had a super smash hit with their first record and when a lot of bands in this era would commercialize for the second record, Skid Row came out harder and stronger! Slave came out and it was like they were channeling Metallica! So many memories with their songs.

18 and life...I remember you...anything really...here I go again by whitesnake!!! Paradise city by guns and roses....I could go on
Skid Row-In a darkened room
Skid Row-Quicksand Jesus
Best ballads beside Wasted Time
Absolutely agree with you, my 3 favorite songs off Slave To The Grind.
Me to...
3 unbelievable good songs...

Motley Crue was/is my fav but sebastian bach had the best voice in the 80s. No one could touch those pipes
Miljenko Matijević from Steelheart had SUPER high range too.
But still not Bowie, Plant, Mercury, Campbell ,or McCartney, let alone Cole, Cooke, Wonder, or Little Richard.
I know a lot of people are gonna throw the other ballads out there like 18 & life and I remember you, but to really get an understanding of Bach and his vocals, you need to hear stuff like Slave to the grind, Monkey business and Youth gone wild. That will give you a much better understanding and also show you he was not a one trick pony.

@@Jjztv76z If you mean the Steelheart one, yup that is my point. I kinda forgot about it until recently and no cannot stop listening to it.

In a darkened room aswell
If you're gonna get on the Skid Row train, you gotta start with a classic like, Youth Gone Wild.
In the 80s and 90s his voice could make men stand in awe, and women drop their... enough of that.
I absolutely love this song, and Sebastian's voice. Man, it was good!
"I tell you Park Avenue leads to SKID ROW !"
Damn straight!
LOL... We are the problem child!
We weren't a problem child...
WE WERE A YOUTH GONE WILD...
FYI, the song is about heroin. (“The HORSE stampedes and rages...” horse is slang for heroin). If I remember right it was about Adler from GnR and his drug addiction.
John K I think I remember hearing something about it being about Adler back when it first came out. (I’m dating myself by saying that!) lol
You're absolutely correct, it was all about Steven Adler's descent into heroin addiction. Adler's natural personality leads people to really loving the guy and it was so painful to see him waste himself away with heroin.
To be a bit nit-picky, heroine is the "white horse"
It was wrote about his friend who died from drug od

Sebastian Bach is on of my favorite singers of all time. The song is about wasting all of you time while on drugs. The lyrics are great as well, thank you for reacting to this song.

Damn i wish i could turn back time. Time goes by to freakin fast.
Remember to enjoy the moment it will never come back again,
Slave to the Grind was a kickass album. Can't believe that it came out almost 30 years ago. Thanks for the reaction.
Skid row - quicksand jesus. Great song amazing voice
Sebastian's voice is simply amazing.
He is by far one of the best vocalist in metal history by far
this song is heavy...meaning that he has lost a freind to addiction. I have always thought that is what this song is about. You can hear the pain; the loss; the anger in his voice. I have heard this song more times than I can count, and it still tears me up and gives me chills. The album that it is the closer of - Slave To the Grind - is probably one of the most underated albums in all of metal!! Every song on it is legit...truth!! Phenomenal band from that era!!
The song is about his friend Steven Adler, the former Guns n’ roses drummer. not dead, but not for lack of trying to be.
Yes, at the time Sebastian wrote this, Steven was killing himself with heroin.
The name of this "Greek Angel Dessert" as you put it is Sebastian Bach!
He actually studied Opera singing!
Without a doubt, one of THE best vocalist in rock ‘n’ roll of all time! He went on to star in three Broadway shows! Jesus Christ superstar, Jekyll and Hyde, and Phantom of the opera. His voice is an example of true raw talent🤘🏼
From 6:15 till the end, the notes are impossible to reach so easily as Sebastian Does. Amazing. Ive growth with his cassettes. Love Skid Row.
There was a time when Sebastian Bach ruled the earth.
Loved the reaction especailly to Sebastian Bach....grew up to his music and skid row was my fav. React to I Remember You by Skid Row!!!!🔥🔥🔥
I was born the same year as Sebastian so I grew up with these bands. Those concerts were a lot of fun- back then it was often general admission…front row with Skid Row on stage- just unforgettable.
And yes, he sounded and looked just like this.
He made me think of a gorgeous Irish setter- they’re like perpetual teenagers- with an edge of a volatile fighting dog. He seemed to have no fear and no inhibitions and endless lung powers 😄
The vocals are outstanding and unmatched. But you ought to do another reaction about the song and the words. . I love what you do you do a great job . THANK YOU ! ! !
"Voice of a god damn greek god angel dessert" LOL
Sixx A.M. - life is beautiful
That look on your face after the last cord rings out is a snap shot of how we all felt back in 91 as we just started to understand what a monster of an album 'Slave to the Grind' is. Exhausted. Disbelief, wonderment. etc etc.
After decades, I am still in awe at young Sebastian Bach’ s voice. I have never heard better. It floors me every time I hear one of these songs
Sebastian Bach, a great singer. Please react to Quicksand jesus...amazing song
I would love more 80s hair metal reactions
Don't sound surprised.Sebastian Bach has one of the greatest and most under rated voices ever.His voice is stunning.Been a fan since 1989 amd seen him live.
Song was written for a friend who died of an overdose. This band got me through some shit back in the day
It was written about Sabastian's best friend steven adler of guns and roses, he did not die. It's about stevens addiction to heroin
Steven popcorn Adler
stacyface0421 my mistake thanks for the correction
Only, he didn't die. About his friend, drummer(?) for Guns'nRoses. And yes, about his drug addiction.
Welcome to your first time hearing Sebastian Bach. My all time favorite vocalist. The dude is insane and still is. I just saw him live on the 30th anniversary skid row tour in Cleveland Ohio and he sounded amazing. I have videos of it up on my UA-cam. What you said about him having everything you would want in a vocalist is spot on. The dudes range is crazy. Listen to 18 & life, quicksand Jesus, in a darkened room, or monkey business. They all showcase his vocals very well. A lot of people say he can’t sing, and where I agree he doesn’t sound like he did back then. He is still really good though.
Dude, you have to hear Skid Row's In A Darkened Room!! One of my all time favourite songs. And in this rock fan's humble yet educated opinion (I'm 46, I was there the first time round) the greatest melding of vocals and lead guitar of all time. It soars buddy. Keep it up champ and enjoy. Haydn in London
truth!!!
6:45 this is the look one should have when they hear greatness like this for the first time - as compared to the utter garbage we have to listen to these days
These reaction videos are so fun to watch. The singer is Sebastian Bach, and he's just awesome.
SKID ROW I REMEMBER YOU
2 other great Skid Row songs are
18 and Life and I Remember You
ahahahaha "Who is this singer??" XD Dude... this is Sebastian Bach... the greatest rock singer of all times
The emotion on the vocals in this song is amazing ...you can hear the pain and desperation in his screams ..and that scene in the video he kneels down as he keeps on screaming the lyrics with a hurtful face ... holy shit ..amazing Song and Vid !!! ..it brings tears and pain to the people that identifies and may have someone close struggling with some kind of pain or agony and is unable to seek for help !!
Dope ass reaction. Skid Row is an amazing hair band.
Ah, my first concert was Skid Row w/ Pantera back in ‘92. Great show...well, aside from the small explosion in the crowd that injured a few people
🍷 I also saw this incredible line-up show in Philly. Great memories 😈
I saw that tour in Chicago in 92, and they had Megadeth with them too. People were throwing chunks of sod at each other and they almost shut down the concert. It was nuts!
For those of us in the know, it’s hard to think of people NOT knowing how bad ass Skid Row is. Sebastian in the 80s could hang with the best of them. Unreal talent.
I was fortunate enough to see Baz perform two years ago and I will absolutely go again in the future. All these years later and he is still KILLING it. I would have given a kidney to see him when he was on Broadway.
I use to be totally obsessed with this Adonis. One of the few perks of being in your 40s was experiencing Sebastian Bach and his cheekbones first hand. :p
I am 47. I love my hairbands to this day! Sebastian Bach, Kip Winger, Jon Bon Jovi to name a few pretty boys!
46 here. I remember being 16, driving through town in a '73 Pontiac Ventura, blasting Skid Row as loud as it would go. On cassette, of course lol. Good times.
Dude, you have to do the songs "Youth gone wild", "I'll remember you" and "18 and Life". Underrated power rock at at its finest.
Watching other people dig these songs gives me goosebumps. This is it, this is why everyone talks about the music in late 1980's. This is what they gave us, nothing like today. Not many can pull these notes off.
quite possibly the best singer ever. he's so unbelievable
Sebastian Bach is an amazing vocalist! I remember listening to Skid Row when I was a kid in the late 80s. You've got to listen to:
I Remember You (really showcases his vocals and the video is heart-rending)
18 and Life
Youth Gone Wild
You're in for a treat!
I went to the Skid Row show at that time, Sebastian bach has an incredible voice I was like you, when I heard him sing live. I was more enchanted this man was beautiful he had a wonderful voice he was the show
Your reactions are so honest. S.B vocals were unmatched back in the day..
Sebastian Bach was phenomenal with his vocals. I was fortunate enough to see him live.
This is Sebastian Bach man. Now you can listen to other songs. He's amazing.
Alex....meet Sebastian Bach. The song “Wasted Time” is about addiction.
I think specifically Steven Adler
Yup, it was. Sebastian wrote it about Steven. I also had a friend who was addicted to heroin. What totally blows my mind, the kid at the very end of the video looks so much like my now deceased friend it's spooky. A couple weeks after he died, we were hanging out watching a mix video that someone had made. The video for Wasted Time came on and I totally lost it. I hadn't cried at his funeral because I was still in shock, but when the video came on, I was a sobbing mess. To this day, I have trouble watching the video.
I've been a Sebastian Bach fan since 1992 back in my High School days. I even named my only son ZEUS SEBASTIAN 😊🤘🤘🤘I'm from the Philippines.
Sebastián was just INCREDIBLE!
One of the most amazing voices I've ever heard 👂
Stop saying was he is not dead he is singing on Broadway there trash replacement is dead
Ok. I should have worded it differently. I get it. My bad. Don't get so uptight man
