listen for yourself.

Audio by "Darth Vader"

When was that? Did Bach really go to the rehearsal?
Looks like Axl wants to keep in touch with his old pals  :hihi:

Yup, looks like it.

Sound like the band has arrived in NYC. :)

Today, if im not mistaken..

did he say anything about the songs they might play

A. He's gonna show up and B. ...HES GONNA SHOW UP

Nope. Just said that Axl wanted him to go the rehearsal.

Did it say "who" was at the rehearsal playing??

no

And again, no!

He said that Axl wanted him to go and that was pretty much it. Also said that they talked for 30 min or something...

That's awesome dude.. that shit rocks! ?I wouldn't mind seeing a Bach/Rose combo on Don't Cry.

This is way cool...........

No :smoking:



Its a funny audio ... greats news Axl is into rehearsals . : ok:

Maybe in some of the Ny shows Sebastian my join for one or two songs , i can see it ...

Bach is the man. Rock till he dies.

I hope Axl is in better shape then 2002, so if he's in rehearsals hes definetly looking to take these shows and the tour as serious as ever. ?Does anyone know what kind of stage hammerstein has, I mean i think at 44 he probably wont be running all over the place like he used to

That was pretty cool.  Bach seemed so stoked that he talked to him.  Just that little tid bit gets me really excited about all this.  The Jesus comment was really funny too :hihi:

I hope to god Sebastion doesn't join.. I don't want any guest appearances. I just want a set with at least 30% new material, it's time to forget the old and come with the new. I'm not excited to hear any old gnr material, all that matters to me is what Axl has been working on for the last 10 years. In my opinion the old band was GREAT, but now is dead....

i agree

I like Bach saying that Axl knows he's blowing peoples fucking minds.

It bodes well for what he has planned.

7 more days...... until Axl owns our soul...... :drool:

Oh Yeah  : ok:

its goign to be awesome, i wish i had tix to go to a few more shows, but i ll go to a few if they tour in NA in the fall

Sort of reminded me of the radio interview Bac and Axl did together in 1990 both stoned in a hotel room ?:hihi:

That small mention from Bac was great, him and Axl go along we back and it's nice how Axl contacte him, the best part was Bac being funny as hell throughout the whole thing trying to explain it ?:rofl:

how can i dload this interview..do you have to be a member?>

No, just click on the Download Now button  : ok:

Bach seemed like a pretty cool person, did he do a show about himself and what he s been working on lately on mtv or vh1, i remember his wife was pretty hot

First of all:

FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, back to normal...

Man, think about it: how cool wouldn't be if they jam togheter on stage?!? I just LOVE Sebastian Bach more than any other singer in the world! He's the Best rock singer EVER, it's a great guy(I had the chance to meet him last year and he's as normal as you and I, that's for sure!  :yes: ), he's on his best fase right now, with his best voice and it would be KILLER to see them on Stage!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think I'm gonna have a heart attack!!!  :drool:

Wasnt that when they were on the Howard Stern show???

This is great how Axl is actually letting some people behind close doors to hear the masterpiece that he has been working very hard on. I for some reason think we will hear from Uncle Axl on Sirius before the first NYC shows.  Sirius main studios are located in NYC, I wonder what the possibilites of Sirius carrying any of the shows live?? Maybe we should get Howard Stern to demand it.

cool stuff...i think there are 2 cool things bout that
1} how a fellow rock star is amped up to get a call from Axl and talk about Axl
2)at the 2:10 mark Bach says that "hes coming back" and repeated it a few times after the corny djs were saying na, doubt it etc. So maybe Axl told him soemthing during their convo

lol imagine getting a text message from Axl...how cool...Axl hit me up my pm box we'll chill this weekend

Their duet of Hair of the Dog was badass.  Next week this time I'll be in the Hammerstein.  Hell yeah!!!!

The best part was how Sebastian showed up at rehersals, and the crew told him "Axl didn't show up, we hear he'll be here tomorrow though" :)

lol that was funny too...Axl is in his own world thats for sure...

i guess Axl wasnt talking about us when saying old and new friends in his lil quote the other day. Sounds like those shows are gonna have some celebs watching. If this band can sound like they did at MSG in 02 they will seriously blow peoples minds away

I know, totally f'ing awesome....still can't believe its only 1 week away.  I doubt I'm gonna sleep much thurs night.

Listening to the audio now......sooo funny.  Bas rocks. Would love to see them duet.  You know he invited him to practice for a duet.  can't wait.

Making amends with Matt, Slash (even though that went sour), Izzy and now Sebastian. Is Axl on the 9th step of some program?? ;D Anyway, all kidding aside...

Let's see if Seb shows up in N.Y. I'm not a big Seb fan, but I'd like to hear that.

Could someone transcribe this audio for me? I can't do that...

I understood what they were saying, but there's some parts that I didn't get...

PS.: I'm listening this for 20 minutes in a row!  :rofl:

Man this is some of the best news ever. Axl and Sebastian are 2 of my favorite singers of all time so this gets me so damn excited. I hope he jams with the band at the nyc shows.

Bach rules, i dont think ive ever seen or heard the guy when hes not had a story to tell that has cracked me up. Has anyone seen the footage of him from the short GnR doc channel 4 in the UK did a few years back. Bach is being interviewed about the time his band was opening for Guns, they got to the end of their set and Axl hadnt shown up..... the Guns tour manager was at the side of the stage pleading them to carry on playing...... he's like "dude we dont have any more songs, we've played them all, what the fuck do you want me to do" so they ended up playing half their set again. Then 4 hours later or something Bach is in the corridoor backstage, Axl still hadnt shown up, he sees all this activity in the distance, sees that its Axl who has just shown up....... runs up to him and goes "dude where were you"......... Axls response........ "was taking a shower"! hahaha Classic!

If someone has this clip i would love to see it again!

Jonx

Just a correction: that guy ALWAYS has a story about ANYONE that you can imagine that will, FOR SURE, cracks you up!!  :hihi:

Sebastian Bach is the greatest! :beer: :beer:

But I'd love to see this video too! :rofl:
Do you know which show was it?

Im pretty sure it was VH1's Most Metal Moments (or something like that).

I meant: which show was that one that Axl was late because he was in the shower? :hihi:

oh lol. Its was one of the shows in New Jersey in like 1992.

This is just outright awesome news! I was always jealous of the people that got to hear Bach do You're Crazy with GNR on the UYI tours. Hopefully we'll get to hear something like that next week!

Even if Bachs just watching the shows, it's still really cool that he and Axl are still buds.

Can't wait until I get home to download this and hear it for myself!

At least 30% or he can grab his ankles and kiss his ass goodbye! ;D

Very cool to hear. Thanks. Was Jim Bruer one of the guys talking to Seb? If not, he sure sounded like him.

I would love to see Sebastian Bach with Axl. He was the one who inspired me to get tickets for the Wed matinee of LESTAT the musical.

He missed the first rehearsal = bad, "He's coming back, dude...for sure!" = good.  It'll all work out in the end...

It sounded to me like he was never at the actual rehersals yet, but was instead trying to get ahold of someone. Then was told that Axl will be around this weekend for sure.

Yeah I kinda took it that way too. Bach did say something in there like "I guess he did make it later on that night" or something like that so who knows, maybe he was there just really late. We all know how that works!  : ok:

I was coming home from the bar when I tuned into 104.3. I could believe that I was listening to  when Seb Bach calling up Axl. This has got me PSYCHED up for next Fridazy! I CAN"T WAIT!!!!!!!

Axl and Bas talked about it on the Eddie Trunk show, it was Nassau Coliseum.

Yeah thats what i was talking about, wierd huh..... who would have known that 4 hours after i wrote the original post Bach tells the entire story live on air in NY with Axl!

Jonx

I alos hope Bach does not join Axl also. If he does I hope it's just one song. I like bach and all but I want to hear Axl not any guest. Yeah it is time to move on with the new and it will be great also just like how the old was.  : ok:

I want to hear that  :beer:
Anyone has it?

Not sure if this has been posted :









Former SKID ROW frontman Sebastian Bach has posted the following message on his official web site:

"Sometimes in life you make true friends. A true friend is someone whom you can see and then not see, but when you see them again, it is like no time has passed at all. A true friend is someone whom you can laugh with, talk with, hang out with, rock with, and confide in.Then there is the friend who gives you so much you can't express in words how much they mean to you.

"When I look back on my life, I have to say that one of my true friends is Mr. W. Axl Rose. As everyone now knows, when GUNS N' ROSES made their triumphant return to New York City a few weeks ago, Axl was cool enough to invite me onstage all four nights to sing with him the GUNS N' ROSES song of my choice, which happens to be 'My Michelle'. During the NYC shows Axl asked me if I wanted to fly with him to Europe to duet with him in England at Donington and Hammersmith. Of course I said YES and then I mentioned to him the recording of the new CD 'Angel Down' and how much it would mean for our band to open some GUNS N' ROSES shows. Axl's response was to offer the band the whole European tour.

"To say that my mind is blown, or that I am thankful for this opportunity, is so superfluous. I really cannot express how much this means to me.

"Axl Rose is the most honest, genuine, straight-up, and talented person I have ever met in this business, and for him to give my band the chance to rock in front of all his fans is something I will never forget. He is now singing better than ever!

"My personal favorite new GUNS N' ROSES song is 'I.R.S.'

"Last night I jammed with him at Rock Am Ring in Germany in front of 70,000 people after a two-day plane journey which put me in four countries in one day!

"It is gonna be a truly killer summer playing on tour with GUNS N' ROSES and recording the new CD as well!!!

'See ya soon Europe and Japan!"

It's great to see other musicians showing love and friendship for Axl.

Thank you Mr Bach, and welcome on the tour : ok:

god damn.
and I had to watch that fucking awfull sex action crap in budapest.
damn

Yeah, posted it here already:

http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/board/index.php?topic=23222.120

So does this mean Bullet For My Valentine are not opening for GnR now, and now Baz' band is ?

Lets hope so though they are opening for GN'R atleast till 6th July..

Oh man, thats touching.

Dude has a way with words.

I hope so. I would much rather sit through Baz's band then BFMV

Fucking nuts they ain't doing Manchester :rant:, i really wanted to see Bach to.........

I am soo glad these guys are hooking up again! He is soo right about the true friends thing!!
Rock on Guys!
amy

i love baz so much, im so happy that their touring togther again, its going to be amazing  :love: and its absoutley wonderful what he said about axl, axl needs people like that in his life

Cool!

Bach in Poland! AWESOME!!!!!!

This is gonna be so sweeeeeeeeeetttt :hihi:

What the fuck? No Glasgow? So us Scots have to sit thorugh Bullet for my Fucking Valentine while everywhere else bar Manchester gets Baz! Awww no fair  :rant:

Woohey.   :beer:


Get in there, Baz :D 8)

Yeah it's crap news  :(

now i want to fly to europe.  sebastian bach is so fuckin cool.  the guys left in skid row must hate themselves.  I met snake at the rainbow and after getting drunk me and my drummer went up to him telling him that sebastian is the best singer he'll ever be in a band with... but snake was cool about it and agreed and we talked for an hour... but yeah.... sebastian fuckin rocks and axl is the man for hookin sebastian bach up.

that is great, this guy has great solo work I think a lot of people will like it

Baz is definitely one cool ddue BUT his solo band isnt really capable of playing stadiums and such..I mean fact is Baz is kinda dated.....Skid Row was dated by 1990.....Axl should look to take out visionary bands on tour with him like he did in 1992 with Faith No More or even Soundgarden...Does anyone wanna hear Baz scream like its 1987 for 60 minutes a night?

Yes, i do wanna hear Baz like it's 1987, and judging from the response, a lot of other people do as well.

Yes ? ;D

WTF........why not vince neil....or another spandex fuck....i hate this fuckhead, his crappy music and anythin related to 80 californian rock scene..except guns or course ;D....sebastian bach is a pure piece of shit to me...im wonderin why axl didnt talk to him for 13 fuckin' years ??? oh ya...maybe....he think the way i do...

Beautiful post! Can't wait til the US tour starts! And again THANKYOU BAZ for talking about the musical LESTAT!

it's not Sebastian circa 1987, it's his new band, total new band with new material (see: new CD)(see: not dated, new material). Hopefully some of the rockin hits too though.
Skid Row is an extremely underrated band that unfortunately gets lumped into 'hairmetal' most of the time regardless of whether or not it is (it isn't)
No one screams like sebastian! I wish I lived in Europe.

It's just like old times!!! Guns and Sebastian Bach. Fuck, man.

Locked.

http://www.planet-loud.com/v6/interview.php?interview_id=521

He posted it on his site last week.

was it posted here?
I dont think I saw it, that is why i posted it

Can you highlight the part he talks about axl? thanks sweety.

Planet Loud caught up with Sebastian Bach while in London, England just one day prior to performing with Guns ?N? Roses at the Download Festival. The interview was delayed for more than an hour because Sebastian was jogging.

Planet Loud - What?s going on Sebastian?
Sebastian Bach - How?s it going man? I?m in London, England.

Planet Loud - Whatcha doing out there?
Sebastian Bach - I?m touring with Guns ?N? Roses.

Planet Loud - Sweet. Nice.
Sebastian Bach - Yeah (laughs). It is. (laughs). Yep. I?ve been on tour. I?ve been doing a duet with Axl every night and on Tuesday my solo band is arriving in Prague, Czechoslovakia to start on opening up the Guns ?N? Roses tour, so it?s very cool to see Axl back in action.

Planet Loud - You?re headed to Donington now?
Sebastian Bach - Yes.

Planet Loud - What?s going through your head right now as you prepare for that amazing festival?
Sebastian Bach - I just ran about five miles in Hyde Park right across from my hotel here and just having a really good time and just seeing Axl on stage again is so fuckin? incredible because he?s singing better than ever and the band?s great and the new songs are great and the crowds are huger than huge, so it?s just a lot of fun (laughs). Hopefully we can bring it to the United States. That?d be great.

Planet Loud - So you?re good friends with Axl, you?re with him right now. You?ve gotta be glad seeing him back at it. How does it feel for you and him to be touring around and visiting and all of that stuff?
Sebastian Bach - As a singer, I?m always fascinated with how guys keep singing when they get older, ?cause like some guys keep their voices really good, like James Brown and Rob Halford from Judas Priest and some guys, it seems, can?t sing what they used to sing. Axl?s voice is in the stratosphere right now (laughs). His range has really improved. It?s just incredible to watch him. He?s like an animal up there. It?s something to see, I?ll tell you that. It?s really exciting. There?s nobody like him, I don?t think, when he?s firing on all cylinders, he?s the best in the world. The best frontman you?ve ever seen. ?Sweet Child ?O? Mine? and ?Welcome to the Jungle? and ?Paradise City? it?s pretty hard to beat those songs (laughs). It?s really a lot of fun and for him to give me this opportunity is really incredible ?cause back in the early ?90s, my band opened on the whole ?Use Your Illusion? tour in America and Europe and he extended me the same opportunity with my solo band almost 15 years later, so that?s incredible. That?s really, really incredible. (laughs). You don?t meet too many people like that in this business. That are that long term oriented.






/jarmo

Also

Planet Loud - If you could share the stage with any bands, past or present, which ones would you choose?

Sebastian Bach - It definitely would be the original Kiss, like around the ?Alive? era, or even before that, like ?Hotter than Hell.? ?Dressed to Kill.? I love that. I love vintage Ted Nugent. I can honestly say that I jammed with one of my real heroes. Ted. And he really is one of my heroes. One of my favorite albums is ?Weekend Warriors? from ?77 when I was a kid. That was totally my favorite album. It?s very incredible that I get to jam with him. And also, Guns ?N? Roses (laughs). It?s like I play with Axl every night. He?s the best. He is so amazing. I?m pretty much a hard rock, heavy metal artist, but Axl is bigger than rock. He?s like the Rolling Stones man. It?s incredible to me, you know. His appeal is really huge. I?m very lucky to be opening up the tour with him ?cause that?s a really incredible opportunity. I?m very fortunate that I get to play with my heroes already. I get to play with Kiss in Japan next month, so I?m a lucky guy dude. Dreams can come true. (sings into the phone) It can happen to you.

well its realy cool to read that  8)
he rihgt  :beer:

I LIKED THAT KOOL READ.

"I play with Axl every night"

heh.

SEBASTIAN BACH: 'AXL ROSE Throws Parties That Would Make Sodom And Gomorrah Blush' - Sep. 17, 2006?
 
Australia's The Metal Forge recently conducted an interview with former SKID ROW frontman Sebastian Bach. A few excerpts from the chat follow:

On filling in for Axl Rose for two songs at the final show of GUNS N' ROSES' European tour:

"That was the most surreal experience of my life. 'Cause Axl just had like a low blood-sugar thing happening and it happens to everybody. So they just ran up to me ? the management and the road crew guys ? and they go, 'Baz! Finish the set!' I go 'Finish the set?! What the fuck, finish the set?' So I run out there, I do 'Nightrain' with Izzy Stradlin and the rest of the guys. And it was insane, I thought I was done: I walk off the stage; I thought I was finished and then they go 'Paradise City', dude.' I go 'Jesus Christ!' . . . And there's so many words in that; and I know the melody just like everybody but to nail those fuckin' words, it's like...thank God for tele-prompters. 'Cause I just sang it and I read it at the same time and I think I did pretty good but it was like being thrust right into the fire, you know. And then I turn around and there's like midgets dancing all around me waving British flags. And then at the end I jump up in the air and when I hit the fuckin' stage all these bombs go off like boooom! And I'm like, 'Goddamn!' So that was really cool. Yeah, it was heavy, dude. It was the best tour I've been on since the 'Use Your Illusion' tour. I've played a lot of gigs with Axl, I'm very fortunate."

On Axl Rose:

"Axl throws these parties that would make Sodom and Gommorrah blush. He's like Caligula! He throws these incredible parties. In New York he did four shows at Hammerstein ballroom and threw these giant parties every night and everybody from Sean Penn to Lenny Kravitz to... I mean, you name it, they were there, just everybody famous just comes to see him play. It's just a lot of fun, you know. Axl definitely knows how to throw a fuckin' party, that's for sure."

cool topic alina, cool to see baz getting the courage to finnish the set! : ok:

thanks for posting this man!  Baz is a fucking cool guy.  I used to be a skid row fan when i was a kid, but haven't really followed any of them since.  It's nice to see baz is still a really down to earth, cool guy and nice to see him in the spotlight again  : ok:

Lol. Baz is awesome. He did a great job covering the set.

Yeah, he ended the tour on a high note for Axl... I'm glad they have each other for that? :peace:

Awesome little write-up.  Keep on partying..

 :rofl: :rofl:


 :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

LOL I love how Baz explains things :hihi:

Baz is cool !! I'm not realy understand those people who says that Baz kissing Axl ass ,
IMO Baz is just realy big fan of Axl and admire him .

Baz is such a sweetheart! Glad Axl and he are hanging again!!
amy

Me too!  :rofl:

Sebastian is the funniest! :hihi:

Former SKID ROW frontman Sebastian Bach has posted the following message on his official web site:

"We are so excited to be going on tour with GUNS N' ROSES in the biggest rooms in North America for the next four months! I have waited for the perfect opportunity to tour North America again and GUNS N' ROSES is absolutely the greatest tour any of us could ever imagine being on. It has been over ten years since I have screamed in a lot of these places, and there are many shows on this tour I have dreamed of playing but never in my career have I actually played ... until now! Madison Square Garden, Air Canada Center, and The Palace of Auburn Hills are all just some of the dates on the tour that I have wanted to play for years and can't believe in 2006 I finally get to rock in these hallowed halls!!!

"So it is with a heavy heart that I have to announce that there are two shows that we unfortunately cannot play on the tour ? Puerto Rico and Halifax, both due to prior commitments. I am especially bummed out about missing the Halifax show because I have many friends there now due to my buds The Trailer Park Boys! I have never played Halifax before and was really looking forward to partying with Ricky, Bubbles and Julian and the rest of the cast and crew in their hometown! I hereby make it a commitment of mine to come back to Halifax and we would be there on the GNR tour but I have to shoot a TV show in L.A. that day. FUCK!!!! We will however be on every other show of the GNR tour!!! This is like a dream come true! Again!"

Bachs such an Axl Fanboy, I love it.

He can appreciate being on the same bill as GNR. Baz is a class act ( even if he's a bit wacky at the same time!)

Baz is being himself which is a good friend to Axl and he's excited to be able to rock out again after so many years.

So many people try and ride on Axl's coat tails and Axl doesn't even flinch or acknowledge that because he knows these kinds of people are hangers on.

Bach is an exception and he's a true friend of Axl's and I think that is great. :peace:

Of all the places he has to miss it just has to be Halifax. There's a million dates and that just winds up being one or two. Someone up in Heaven doesn't like me.

I enjoy his enthusiasm and support for Axl.  But it also seems absolutely career-driven, as well -- the two don't have to cancel each other out.  Bach is (understandably) drooling at playing to these sized crowds that he would never, ever get near to again.  Nothing wrong with that, and he's open about it.  But the notion that there is some true, deep friendship between the two seems odd, since they hadn't spoken in over, what, 13 years?  But, who knows, maybe it rekindles some connection to the past for Axl and there's nothing wrong with a guy who shows enthusiasm for the nu GnR, rather than just slagging them off.

I do to. It is obvious that he is a huge GNR fan and a true friend to Axl. Sorry to all the people attending Puerto Rico and Halifax shows who were looking forward to seeing him as well.

Meh, anyone would have enthusiam and support for Axl if he gave them a chance to play infront of 15,000ish fans every night instead of the normal 1,500...

I'm no Skid Row fan (although i do like 18 and Life) but that Baz bloke appears to be for real and a good person with bags of energy. I like him  : ok:

theyve been friends since the slave to the grind tour when skid row opened for GNR.. also skid row was recording slave to the grind right next door to gnr when they were doing illusions(and metallica doing black album)

why doesnt he miss quebec city show instead....id be glad!!!!!

why would you be glad mister -4 karma?

So mixed on Bach. Its cool he's friends with Axl...and I saw Skid Row open for GNR twice in the past.

But he is such a goofball. And I would rather Axl handled Michele by himself instead of being washed out by Sebastian.

I also dug that supergroup show. Bach though just came across lame to me. With him choosing to wear that gay open torso kiss outfit, not partying because of his music editor on his laptop, and fuck what he did to the Nug is just criminal. You watch that shit? I think they were playing Strangle hold, and Nugent was playing a real cool solo...then fucking Baz starts getting obnoxious and fucks it up. I wanted to reach through the set and strangle him.

Sebastian Bach was the only reason me and my friend watched Supergroup. Everyone else was boring. Bach's always fucking pumped and he makes good t.v. I think it's good he'd rather make music than party, after all that was the point of the life of a musician.

I wonder what is he going to be shooting those days.. perhaps more guest appearances in Gilmore Girls?

Glad he'll be in Toronto (His more or less Home town) - Rather have Izzy though - If Izzy was playing all but Halifax and wherever - that would be a reason to get pissed off.

No - I am not saying Izzy is on this tour - I am saying what if Bach was Izzy instead.... need to clarify that for some people out there.....

and whose the frontman for the band we are on the forum of??? ya, AXL ROSE!! baz wanted to finish his demo.. evan seinfeld is a douche...

Damn, I misread that title... (something along the lines of "Seb Bach forced himself on Miss Puerto Rico)... nevermind...

This sucks.. arghhhh
Hopefully they get someone good to fill that void in the show

Does this mean that he is touring for all the other posted dates?

That's what it said didn't it?

Lol what?! The only part that I get is "baz wanted to finish his demo." Yea Axl is the frontman to the band we are on the forum about. Evan is kind of a douche but how does that change the shit Bach did. Like wanting that kiss outfit and raping Nugents solo?

I don't see anything wrong with him making an announcement that he won't be able to appear at these shows.  I am sure some people were looking forward to seeing him.
How the heck do you get -4 karma in under 200 posts, sheesh!

Looking forward to seeing Bach @ MSG, even though he totally ignored my autograph request after Hammerstein.  :rant:

stranglehold is a 10minute song.. with 80% of it being a solo.. all baz did was throw shirts out during the solo and ted got all pissed..

Im saying, so baz missed a party because he wanted to WORK and get a DEMO done which was the point of the show...

What did Miss Puerto Rico have to say about it?

(http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/english/doc/2005-05/22/xin_1205022314458433257625.jpg)

 ;D ;D ;D

SG

We haven't had Bach here at the Palace since allllll the way back in 1991!!

I personally am really excited to see him there again.

That will help move tickets in Detroit.

LMAO maybe she said SAVAGE ANIMAL (for those of you who watched supergroup)

'

He also said shit into his mic. It completely disrupted the solo. See, I dont know if you have ever tripped and stranglehold was played. Its almost wrong even calling it a solo, as its really more of a voyage. And Bach should have been into the music, which was great music. He fucked up, there is no defending that. What Bach did was very unprofessional and criminal. Ted should have beat his ass afterwards. Bach was an embarrassment. And dude, Bach is not Lennon. He is Bach, and he acted like this song was the second coming. Completely acted a fool to the producer over selling it. And dude... please, let me hear you defend that outfit.

Didn't Bach admit after the fact that he didn't really realize what he was doing? I thought that was good enough that he apolgized and at least understood what he did wrong.

Axl should let Ricky, Julian, and Bubbles take Bachs place as the opening act in Halifax. I'd rather see the Trailer Park Boys then Sebastia Bach any day. Bubbles could come out later on when GnR's playing, and him and Axl could do a duet on "Liquor and Whores".

"Didn't Bach admit after the fact that he didn't really realize what he was doing? I thought that was good enough that he apolgized and at least understood what he did wrong."

I am sure he didnt realize it. But dude. Imagine during the Freddy Mercury tribute, when Axl sang We Will Rock you, and May was playing a solo and Axl did what Bach did. Thats a trick statement because Axl would never fucking do that. Axl always appears to be into the music and therefore its just not something anyone would do if they are into the music. It Sebastians character.

Bach isnt an evil dude. I am not saying that. I am just saying he is a goofball and really not that cool. I like that he is Axl's friend and Skid Row were alright. But I would take a really good group over Bach as an opening act. Bach isnt going to get me pumped for GNR. Its more, "Oh hey thats Sebastian Bach. Yup thats Bach alright. Okay umm Im gonna take a piss and get some beer."...


edit: I will take this a step further. I would rather that group who opened for GNR at Vegas (The Saturday show) open then Sebastian Bach.

I agree with you to a certain extent, but I think that's why the middle groups (Papa Roach, Buckcherry, etc) are being thrown in the tour.

Hell Yeah!!  I can't wait to see Baz open for GN'R in San Diego!!   :love:

I am happy for BAZ. He seems a s nice as he is cute! :hihi:

It is nice to see friends help eachother out.  They have been friends forever!  I had a picture of them, they looked in their very early 20's. (with one guy from Metallica)

Baz is a nice guy.

He deserves this shit.

I betcha Skid Row is pissed off right about now...

 i thought bach was funny in supergroup show

i'm kinda lookin forward to his performance 10/22

How far do you guys think Bach would go for Axl? For example, if Axl wanted a night with Baz's wife like in that movie with Demi Moore, would Baz agree to it? Seems to me that Baz would do just about anything for Uncle Axl. I think this is why Axl keeps the Savage Animal around, as Baz doesn't really help Axl sell out shows.

18 and life Motherfuckerz!!!!!!!!!

I seen this done with Skid Row opening for Kiss without Bach

And now I can't wait to see it done by the man himself!!!!!

Its kind like who do you wanna hear doing its so ez.... VR or GNR

mariah is pretty hot dude, if i was axl, i'd touch her butt in public

bachs wife is wicked hot...remember that part of supergroup when he was taking pics of her naked :o

total milf... ;D

Any one think Mrs. Bach is Jelous of the relationship between Mr. Bach and Mr. Rose?

lol baz and axl are practically married ;D

they should've put "Bach in the Limelight" like "Back in the Limelight" except "Bach."

haha get it?  i think it would be kinda cheesy but funny.

This story just appeared on Billboard.com

"Bach Back In The Limelight With GNR Dates
 
 
October 12, 2006, 11:15 AM ET

John Benson, Cleveland
After reconnecting with Axl Rose this past spring, Sebastian Bach has been pegged as the opening act for the upcoming Guns N' Roses stateside tour that gets started Oct. 20 in Jacksonville, Fla. Bach tells Billboard.com it's been one wild ride ever since.

"Just like the rest of the world, I had not been in touch with him in a long, long time and there was a point five years ago [when] I wondered if I'd ever see him again in my life," Bach says. "I was really good friends with him."

After jumping on stage with Rose to join in on the GNR classic "My Michelle" three times during the band's New York run in May, Bach says he approached the reclusive singer about opening for his band on a few of its European dates.

"I said, 'I love doing "My Michelle" with you but if you really, really, really want to help me out, can my band, like, open for you?'" Bach says. "He's not really super-effusive. He doesn't gush like I do. My emotions are pretty upfront. But I could tell in some way he was trying to help me out and the phone was silent. Then he said, 'If we could work something out, we'll do it. That would be a lot of fun.'"

That fun carried over to the European summer dates, which even found Bach filling in for an ailing Rose on "Nightrain" and "Paradise City" at Guns N' Roses' last London show in July.

 
As for his erstwhile band Skid Row, from which he was dismissed nearly a decade ago, Bach says there is absolutely no communication between him and his former bandmates. While he has no regrets about what happened with the '80s rock act, the New Jersey resident admits he'd like to see the band's platinum-selling VHS videos (1991's "Oh Say Can You Scream" and 1993's "No Frills Video" and "Roadkill") released on DVD at some point.

Bach says his experience this past year with Damnocracy, the all-star hard rock band formed on the VH1 reality show "Supergroup" with Ted Nugent, Scott Ian, Evan Seinfeld and Jason Bonham, reminded him why it's best to be a solo act. "I'm going to control this one," Bach says. "This is working because I don't have to wait around for the Foreigner tour or some hunting expedition."

While a new album, tentatively titled "Angel Down," already written, Bach, who recently split from Artemis Records, is currently shopping the album with some "major labels," he says. He hopes to have the project out next year.

Among the new tracks that could get stage time for Bach's GNR sets are "Stuck Inside" and "Take You Down With Me." Naturally, he'll also be performing his Skid Row hits, as well as the track "Blade," which he recorded as a member of progressive metal band Frameshift for its 2005 album "Absence of Empathy." And with news that Guns N' Roses' Nov. 10 show at Madison Square Garden has sold out, Bach can hardly hide his enthusiasm.

"I've been waiting to do this and it's just an unbelievable feeling for me to do 36 dates with Guns N' Roses now as a solo artist," he says. "And selling out the Garden is just blowing my mind." "

AOL Music reports that wherever GUNS N' ROSES have played thus far in 2006, former SKID ROW frontman Sebastian Bach has likely been there, either opening for GN'R or joining Axl Rose onstage for the duet "My Michelle".

For Bach, it's a return engagement: SKID ROW opened for GN'R on their "Use Your Illusion" tour in 1991. Though Bach is grateful for the opportunities, he admits he doesn't know quite how it happened.

"To be totally honest with you, I don't understand why Axl is so nice to me," Bach tells AOL Music. "I don't know why he just waves his magic wand and points it at me and says, 'You're opening for me all around the world.' To me, it's crazy."

Bach, who will release a new album, "Angel Down", in 2007, isn't arguing. "I'm going with it," he says. "It's always been that way for me. It's going to make a good book someday. I see all these rock 'n' roll books and they're all killer, but I laugh. I go, 'Wait 'til you f***ing read my book! My book is going to make [the M?TLEY CR?E book] 'The Dirt' look clean,'" he says, laughing.

Source: Blabbermouth

so thats who axls new girlfriend is?? ;D :rofl:

Seb rocks. Nothing bad to say about the guy.

Baz should be getting ready to rock Miami pretty soon !

Should be awsome  : ok:

I doubt he can beat the dirt.

No way he can.  8)

"To be totally honest with you, I don't understand why Axl is so nice to me," Bach tells AOL Music. "I don't know why he just waves his magic wand and points it at me and says, 'You're opening for me all around the world.' To me, it's crazy."



I've asked that same question myself douchebag.  Maybe you should ask him   because  you sure  as hell don't deserve it.   

Baz is cool, great front man and awsome singer....No doubt The Dirt is insane, Motley did it much longer, much harder ?than Baz and the Skids just insane ...people died, people almost died and others died and came back from the dead again (Sixx). I was a diehard ?Skids fan followed Baz the whole time never heard anything as nuts as what was going on with the Crue.

Sebastian Bach = GOD!  :beer: :beer: :beer:

Baz seems cool, but doesn't he kind of seem like a puppy when it comes to Axl?? ?He has such wide-eyed admiration for Axl, particularly for someone who he hasn't seen in 13 years. ?I'm just making an observation... who knows what kind of friendship they had/have or why he and Axl weren't in touch for all those years. ?

Bach is quite the character. One of the few left from the 80's metal scene who is still young enough to go out there & put on a killer show.

He was funny as hell on Supergroup. A bit full of himself, but so what if he thinks its still 1990!

I think he is a good guy  8)

SKid row hired a doctor to keep them alive from all the drugs.. he quit and said "you guys are gonna die"


anywa, Baz is still pretty young... only 38 or 39 so hes wicked energetic... great singer, great frontman.. Im glad Axl is taking another person from the decade with him...



Is it me, or does it seem axl keeps those Loyal to him around??? Merck, Baz etc.

well it was GnR during UYI so you never know  :P

dude Axl likes "yes" men.
people who follow him around saying everything he does is a brilliant idea.

I think its kool that Bach is getting all this attention. He's a good muscian that deserves a chance to make it with a solo record. I hope he has success and I thinks its kool of Axl to help him get it. Because I think Bach deserves to be heard. His music is good. :smoking:

I saw him when he did Jesus Christ Superstar. He has an amazing voice live.

I don't think it's because he likes yes men, just loyalty and I'm sure in that business, loyalty is hard to come by!

I second this!  Baz Rocks!!! I can't wait to see him open for GN'R, in January!!  :beer:

i like Seb - loved Skid row back in the day and i love the enthusiasm he brings to My michelle duets these days - his head-banging walk-dance at Donington was sheer class.  he got all the way to the side of the stage without missing a beat.

I had the pleasure of meeting him briefly and he was totally as you'd expect -v  easy going and lots of "duuuuuuuuude!"

Must be nice for axl to have a fellow 80's hellraiser still as one of his friends.  If I'd known this time last year I'd be seeing Seb bach opening for GnR several times in 2006, I would have been climbing the walls with excitement!  He's a great support act.

I have to agree that I think loyalty is a big factor in Axl's eyes.? That, and of course, the incredible amount of energy that Baz seems to infuse into everything he does; must make him a great person to keep spirits up on tour.

I liked Skid Row's music in the past and always had a soft spot for Baz, but have to admit he definitely went up in my estimation when he leapt on stage to save the day at Wembley earlier this year.? I would imagine that it's gestures like this that make Axl really appreciate his friendship too.

The title of this thread is very.... Misleading LOL

i love that fuckin baz '

Yeah, I was kinda disappointed not to see some revealing pictures ;)

Dan LeRoy of the Charleston Daily Mail reports:

A few years ago, Sebastian Bach almost became the lead singer of VELVET REVOLVER, the band started by three ex-GUNS N' ROSES members.

Now he's opening for a revitalized GUNS N' ROSES on a sold-out arena tour, and even got the chance to fill in for Axl Rose to close one memorable gig at London's Wembley Stadium.

"These days," says Bach with a laugh, "I say, 'VELVET who?' "

Getting to play sold-out venues like Madison Square Garden for the first time will give a guy that perspective.

It's an experience Bach didn't even have the first time he opened for GUNS N' ROSES 15 years ago, as leader of New Jersey metal band SKID ROW.

Back then, SKID ROW's second album, "Slave To The Grind", had just debuted at the top of the Billboard charts, and the flamboyant, outspoken Bach was the glam-metal pinup of choice. And GUNS N' ROSES, touring behind the simultaneously released "Use Your Illusion" albums, was the biggest band in the world.

A lot has happened since those heady days. Bach was dumped by his bandmates in 1996, yet has since carved out a successful career as a Broadway actor (with the title roles in touring productions of "Jeckyll & Hyde" and "Jesus Christ Superstar"), reality-show participant (he's appeared on several VH1 series, including "SuperGroup") and solo artist.

But when he talks about being part of the current GUNS tour, which will come to Huntington's Big Sandy Superstore Arena on Friday, it's clear that the side projects haven't completely filled the void.

"Dude, I've been waiting so long to do a big huge arena tour," says Bach, the enthusiasm evident as speaks by cell phone, on a drive from Jacksonville, Fla., to North Carolina. "So long. That, for me, is the most fun you can have."

If a lot has happened to Bach since his first GUNS N' ROSES tour, Axl Rose's career in the years since has been marked by closely monitored inactivity. His group has been largely dormant since 1993, with most of the news concerning frequent, and frequently bizarre, changes in band members and producers.

Meanwhile, the album Rose has been laboring over for more than a decade, "Chinese Democracy", has become a much-discussed rock 'n' roll myth. Yet Bach says he's heard most of the finished version, which is rumored to finally be on the release schedule for late 2006.

"What I've heard is awesome," says Bach. "And Axl's always been a man of his word with me. So if he says it's coming out, I believe it's coming out."

Read the rest of the article at www.dailymail.com.

Funny how many more people would be saying that if Bach were the lead singer.

yeah sebastian bach can be such a douche sometimes, loved him with skid row but now he reminds me of a 40 year old female meth addict. i think sebastian should check himself before he goes knocking on slash/duff/matt. 

does he think hes apart of GNR now or some shit?

sure they would ... ?::)

Chill out, he was joking. It's not as much knocking on VR, as it is praising GN'R.

No Doubt

I love Baz man but he is such nut swinger, I remember when he was in the running for the VR job he was posting on his web site... Man I'm getting together with my buds from the biggest band in the world to blow your fuckin minds" now that he didn't get the job and has the gig with he's like VR who?

Fuck you, get a fuckin' spine.

Baz has always been like that I love his music...been a big fan for years. Back in the day he was swinging off of Bon jovi nuts till they had a fight that may or may not have been Baz's fault. I was fuckin' 19 then but not today dipshit.

After spending a night boozing with Baz and him staring at my girlfreinds hot tits all night ....kiss my ass go back to fuckin broadway!

I can just hear him Skid Row opening for Poison and I"M ON THE GUNS TOUR !

Maybe you can get a gig with Kathy Lee Gifford... Fuckface

I think the point of his "VR who" comment was that it hasn't affected him.  In his eyes, the VR gig would have been a really big deal given that he didn't have much going on at that time.  Shit worked out for him despite the VR thing not working: he's got a new album coming out and is on an arena tour...

I think all of you would be pissed at the VR guys if they turned you down to be singer, give the guy a break.

dude, i love this post. "I love Baz, but..... fuckface"

anyway, yeah i think he was just trying to say how the VR thing isn't a big deal anymore because of how happy he is to be on tour with GNR.

I know I would...

especially if I start my painfull way with my original band kicking my ass off!!!

No offense, Baz.

wtf do you expect from him? he didn't get the job. wtf would you say then?

ppl need to get off of slash/duff/matt thing.... they are not something so damn special.

VR sucks IMHO I don't like it... maybe 1 song thats it. I don't try to make myself like it cause xGNR bandmates are in it like most ppl do. Weiland is a fag!

Im not a fan of Bach either.

No need to get carried away or start insulting Bach.  The truth of the matter is that GnR has an extremely successful European tour and is in the midst of a US tour that seems to be doing pretty well, both ticket sales and in quality of performance.  VR isn't doing much of anything right now and hasn't for the last few years.  For years that was true about GnR but not anymore.  VR's relevance in the music world is not as high as GnR's is right now so Bach's just enjoying where he is

Co-sign.

Also, someone told me they heard a rumor of Bach doing the cover art for Chinese Democracy. ?Sounds absurd to me, but anyone hear of this?

Josh Todd and Keith Nelson probably feel the same way.  Granted their situation's different than Bach's, but I'm pretty sure those guys are happy that the Buckcherry machine is up and running again at this point.  Slightly different situations but Bach's happy where he is, and I'm sure Todd and Nelson are happy that they're doing their own thing

thats a great rumour!

people are (unsurprisingly on this board) blowing his VR dig out of all proportion. he's only having a laugh - he's a goofball. it's what baz does.
but he is right. velvet revolver are appalling.

Baz's Dad was a pretty good artist (has since Passed) he did the Slave Cover and the inside of Sub-Human Race. Maybe he has a cool one for CD.

Anyway Before I posted I thought it was funny too love Baz = fuckface...whatever man.  :hihi:

anyone get the new Skid Row CD?

He is a part of it. He filled in for Axl, he did the duet with him, has done countless interviews with Axl, got to listen to CD at Axls pad, hangs out often with the man, and the man calls him friend as well, and now he is opening for GNR. So yea, he is a part of it.

You know what's funny? ITs the few GNR fans that are acting like jealous bitches. Yea I said it. That is how you are acting. Shit fools, put yourself in Bach's place. You don't think you would be the happiest motherfucker to have the opportunity that he has been given? Doing the shit he loves most with someone he can truly call his friend. Damn what a bunch wankers. I think there would be something wrong if Sebastian wasn't happy. Listen, nothing personal to any of you...but I really hate fucking killjoys. Trying to bring people down. God for fucking bid the man's happy. Can't have that though right?

Can anyonme shed some light on Bach as the 5th guitarist rumour?  :rofl:

Baz should and it looks like he is the happiest bastard alive. Cool

Not long ago I saw him playing the Back Alley in Calgary in front tops 300 ppl...Good for him !

Just he shouldn't say VR who it sucks....he was swinging from their nuts for so long and then...

There's probably alot of people that also say, "Bach who?".

They turned me down.  :P

this is a GNR board not the "Sebastian Bach" board, get over it.

i did not no bach was going to be in velvet revolver??

And I'm not a fan of you for posting trash like this where it doesn't belong.  Go back to the trailer park, Gar.

Anyhow, also like another person said, once again everybody blows this far out of proportion.  Baz didn't get the job, I'm sure he feels okay with that and doesn't worry about it.  As far as being an Axl nutswinger, Baz was a really really close friend back in the day...missed out on about 11 years of friendship, got reaquainted and is having the time of his life with his buddy.  I say shit yeah, Baz can be a priss, but so is every other frontman whether you know it or not.  It's part of the lead singer aura.  Fact is, the guy has a voice that is golden and has survived the 80's fallout by doing broadway, television and his own gig. 

Here we have an interview with Baz mentioning CD, and the only thing people care about is a tiny joke about VR that probably means shit.

 ::)

leave baz alone... he's a great dude, killer performer, and axl's friend. God why are there so many asshole's around this place.

Thanks.  If you had any doubts that the CD was coming out this year would you say "And Axl's always been a man of his word with me. So if he says it's coming out, I believe it's coming out."?  He seems pretty confident.

lol... i agree.  VR who?  Weiland is the 'douche'.  he isn't even a rocker!! his voice could put me into a coma within minutes. bor-ring!! 
wth were they thinking when they hired him as a front man?  whatever. 

i couldn't agree more!  the point of the whole thing was that we have another vote that CD is coming out this year.   :beer:

True, but I must admit that I put more stock in the fact that Baz has heard finished tracks than on the mans ability to analyze Axls character ;D

I think he's kind of a shaky guy when it comes to judging other people, he seems to overdo it a bit, but on the other side he seems very truthfull. So I just try to see the core of what he's saying. Getting hung up on details from his kind of personality feels a little futile, since you really don't know how how many feathers have been attached to it.

This probably comes of a little messy, but whatever, english isn't my first language anyway :smoking:

for fucks sake people, note that bach said "these days". He's doing something bigger than VR NOW, VR was yesterday, he's living his biggest dream which is playing a full scale rock n' roll tour and being a part of GN'R!

It is not a cheap shot at VR, it's a hail to Axl and gn'r....

some of you guys are so fuckin' phatethic it's not even funny, your like some oposite king midas, everything you thouch turns into shit.

Fuck you! :hihi:

I'm sorry but being the lead singer of VR is less.... than being opening act for not only GNR but Papa Roach too?

  Come on let's all put our roaches down and settle down....If Baz had received the job from VR he would at least be quiet about todays GNR we all know that.


Let's be serious Baz couldn't sell out your local tavern on a saturday night, (that doesn't mean skid row or his voice sucks)

Could it possibly be Bach's father doing the artwork? He did the art for Skid Row's Slave To The Grind and Subhuman Race albums.

I think his father passed away....



/jarmo

Thats what I gathered from Supergroup as well

One's gotta wonder what Baz knows about the release though.  I can't imagine he hasn't asked Axl, but at the same time I don't see Axl trusting him to keep it a secret.

If he's letting new song titles out of the bag like "Sorry", I seriously doubt it.

Sums up everything on how I feel on the whole situation. Agree 100%. Thanks Baz!  : ok:

 :rofl:

i can actually picture him trying to keep the secret in - kind like bart when michael jackson comes to visit. he's be able to hold in for about 5 seconds.

If you believe he wasn't supposed to mention it, then I agree.

You Mean David Lee Roth...

Bach is great, one of the best singers of rock music. As a person he's always very excited about what he's doing even right then, and praises that as the best time of his life. Good for him if he really feels this way. I don't care if he's talking nonsense about VR or Axl or anyone else. He's the man and I like him for his voice and talent not for his IQ.

i think bachs ace.
but i dislike how hes up axls arse at the moment because he can use him to get good tour dates.

This whole him and axl being best buds is shit, bach is using him to get himself somewhere again.

An old Bach quote about him joining The Project:

"All of this has made me realize that it is time for me to follow my heart & create some brand new original rock & roll that will completely blow you away . I have been working with one of the biggest bands in the world & will now persue[sic] that collaboration with full force. "


www.snakepit.org

haha theres alot of sensitive people on this board..

bach is great, kind of a douche, but a lovable douche... fucking hes hilarious and an balls-out singer.

You do understand that Axl asked Baz to be on tour with him correct?  That's usually what friends do, they hook each other up.  Go listen to that radio interview from the 90s when they called into Stern's radio show.  That was two really good friends hanging out and having a great fucking time.  I don't understand how you people try to claim that Baz is leeching on to Axl???? Jesus christ man so if you see a friend that you haven't spoken to in 10 years and you say hey man wanna hang out some time and grab a beer, then in your mind he's up your arse?  Sort of a little full of oneself eh?  I'd by far rather have Baz on this tour than some fucking emo band.

in bach interview from donington 2006,he said that axl sent him phone masage after many years

so Axl caled baz,and i think that Axl need suport for new album and tour,and he found it in his friend from "golden days" sebastian bach
btw,izzy was a guest on euro tour

i have like skid row since 1991 when i started to listening gnr,and those bands were my 2 favor from childhood

Bach didn't say that he "know" for realising date,he just believe in Axl like we there

Bachs still up his arse though, all he ever does is mention axl and what hes done with guns n roses.

i like the man i really do but he treats it as if he is apart of the band.

dude, if you were on the trip bach has been on this year wouldnt you be shouting from the roof-tops about it?

He makes a case here.

I'd say stepping up to the plate and filling in for Axl when he had health problems, being a big part of the band.  Standing up for them when assholes bitch and moan about the things Axl's done is also being a part of the band.  All he ever does is mention Axl???? Don't you mean all he ever does is answer questions to other people that ask him about Axl???  I just don't get some of the people that post here.  :no:

i know what i think. and that is, bach is way to up axl. You can think what you want you can disagree but its not changing my oppinion.

Sebastian Bach is great, professionally and personally: he's got a killer voice and he's a really nice guy, albeit hyper as fuck sometimes. But seeing as how his Broadway attempts weren't that well-recieved, and he actually guested on the Gilmore Girls, I don't think he's at all allowed to say "Who?" about anybody in that tone of text.

That said, I can see his point. Everybody here  knows about Velvet Revolver, but what have they been doing recently, save for playing a show here and there and showing up individually at red carpet events? We all know their names as seperate people (if anyone ever said Who? about Slash, I'd wonder where they'd been for their entire life), but as a band, no, I don't think they're that phenomenal. If everyone put a touch more effort into it, then maybe, but this isn't the thread to discuss how they could improve on what they're doing wrong. Granted, you say the name Skid Row to ten people on the street, you'll be lucky if two people - or hell, even one person - know what you're talking about. But right now, people know about GNR. People are talking about GNR. Baz is on board with this and touring with them and maybe it looks like he's leeching off that spotlight a little. That may not be the right thing to do, but yes, what he is associated with right now, is less likely to get the Who? reaction than VR.

SunJournal.com recently conducted an interview with former SKID ROW frontman Sebastian Bach. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow:

SunJournal.com: Can you let people know, what is the show going to be like? It's a killer bill with you and GUNS N' ROSES.

Bach: Well, I'm playing with GUNS N' ROSES, Axl Rose's new band, which is incredible. I've been on the road with him since May, in Europe. It's a great show. We've sold out Madison Square Garden in New York City, which is just clearly incredible for me as a solo artist.

I never got to play there in my old band and I always wanted to. For me to be playing new places that I didn't play in my 20-year career, that's always great. That's fun for an old guy like me.

SunJournal.com: Do you remember when you first met Axl, how far back that would have been?

Bach: You wouldn't forget that day, would ya?

SunJournal.com: What were the circumstances?

Bach: The very first day I ever met him was when my old band, SKID ROW, was opening for AEROSMITH at the Los Angeles Forum. We did four nights. It was 1990. There was a knock at the door and it was David Lee Roth. I was like, "Oh my god." He came in there, then a couple of minutes later there was a knock on the door and it's Axl Rose. And I'm like, "Oh wow." And he comes on in and he sits down and we just talk about singing. Me and him went to watch AEROSMITH together on the side of the stage. Then Axl went up and sang. It was a great night. We just became friends after that.

SunJournal.com: I've been struck at the shows I've gone to recently, the whole holding your cell phone up and snapping pictures, holding them up during ballads for light. I'm curious, as an artist, what your thoughts are on that.

Bach: It's a different world, what can I say. As far as a fan goes, it's a good thing for a fan. Sometimes, you know, like Axl likes to have these late-night parties, and one night we were in Prague, Czechoslovakia, and he's dancing and stuff and I see someone that was invited to this party surreptitiously filming Axl dancing, with his cell phone. I had a couple of glasses of wine in me, I go, "Why don't you stop that dude?" Like, "Why don't you just be cool?" It was like an invasion of privacy, which it can be.
SunJournal.com: I read on your (Web) site that you'd filmed a couple episodes of "Trailer Park Boys". It was cool that you're supposed to be in Bangor, Maine, while you're doing that.

Bach: Oh, that's right! Well, there's something that I'm doing as a model train enthusiast in between the borders of America and Canada, and Bangor, Maine, has something to do with where we're at in relation to the border. I can't really ? I signed a paper where I can't give away too much of the plot.

SunJournal.com: What was filming that like?

Bach: Filming that was a lot of fun. You know, I've been on this show, the "Gilmore Girls", for four seasons now, and theater, I've done four Broadway shows. The thing about the "Trailer Park Boys" is that it's a lot of improv and I'm not used to that as an actor. Especially on Broadway, you very rarely improvise anything without getting written up. I improvise sometimes on the "Gilmore Girls", but every time I improvise it's in the rehearsals and then they have to clear it. But this was like, "OK, we're going to shoot this and this and here's what we're doing, go!" (Laughs)

Read the entire interview at www.sunjournal.com.

I like Bach -- but he can be such a tool.  This comment is not coincidental in light of the recent, somewhat creepy developments:

Which are?

By "somewhat creepy developments" do you mean the guy filming Axl?

That YouTube footage was posted here already somewhere...it was Axl dancing with some girl?

I haven't seen that, funky. a link?  ;D

Me too don't see anything wrong in thhe quote. I don't know of him well and I'm yet to have much of an opinion about his speech skill tho.

yup.
don't get me wrong:  I think Sebastian's comments about privacy are on target -- I'm only noting that his "comments" lately are not necessarily random.

I believe the link was in the YouTube thread, but I've looked and I cannot find it...or it is gone.

exactly, theres nothign wrong with what baz said...

if your invited to a party, do you videotape the person there and put it on the net to embarass them?? ::)

Baz was right about calling that guy out. Axl was just trying to enjoy himself. Why does it have to be spoiled by having some ass tape him, and intentionally post it on YouTube to embarass him? Can't he just go to a party and have fun, and not have to worry about being on camera there also?

It will be interesting to see what Sebastian has to say.  He seems to be put in the position lately to make comments on the tour.

Hmmmm... He's almost saying it as if what we have heard tonight wasn't "What really happened."  I'm sure it's nothing though.

Bach wouldn't dish out any real dirt or say anything bad...unless he wants to get kicked off the tour and play rib-joints.

i would say its to put more light on what assholes the fire marshalls or whatever where, in trying to and succeeding  in fucking up the show for the fans.

Could someone record this please?!? Specially the acoustic songs part  ;D

Wham I'm reading from it is that he knows a _lot_ of speculation will rise from a cancelled GN'R show, and he will set the record straight.

I think sebastian is commenting not as a guy who plays on a GnR song but on a guy who is a supporting act. this tour is important to him too and its well within his right to comment on why the show was cancelled-regardless if GnR have already made a statement. His show was cancelled too...

why not comment now? Why wait? becuase he will be told what to say when he explains all. This is all so pathetic guys.

this dude has become GNR's official media spokesperson.
i suppose....it makes it more interesting than having just anybody...and Baz needs the cash...

you can stream online at

www.wccc.com (http://www.wccc.com)

can someone record this for the acoustic tracks??

You guys watch too much TV ::)

Bach is not "only on tour with GN'R". He is on tour with his musicians too. Maybe his fans can get some info too ?

Uhm, sorry for a stupid question but stupid people can post too :hihi:
...which band will play a brand new song on the radio?

Bach will be very limited in what he'll be able to reveal...wouldn't shock me if he simply paraphrases the press release.

He is just going to say what we already know. With maybe a little more detail.

Then sing.

can someone record this???

Alright, I guess I am the ONLY person listening?! I tuned in at 255 and it already started...who knows if they mentioned GNR yet....

Its not working for me...so, if there is any news please update this thread

I am listening? :P ... it is all about Ted & Kiss for now? :hihi:

he is missing halifax with gnr because he is shooting gilmore girls or whatever? :P

and a brand new song now... it is on you tube... I guess By Your Side... nice song.

Alright, screw this, I'm not a slave to this station, I am going for my run. If he mentions anything worth a poo, LMK.

I'm just recording this.


By Your Side is being played now....


I missed the beggining so 1 acoustic was already been done (DJ said that).......


Will record until the end.

hehe Bach..Cool that he is on Gilmore Girls ?: ok:

I like this song, awesome voice

Hahahaha Baz Fantastic voice you have eh. :P
I Remember You"not the punk version ?kicked ass kudos. :beer:

So,, uumm... did this already happen?

Can someone record it?

 :confused:

 : ok:

basically he said the pyro issue and people cant smoke in the bldg and they can not drink onstage and that it didnt matter they only sold 3,000 tix

I caught it halfway through and didn't hear any info. in relation to the cancelled show in Maine. ?

I liked the new song he played...nice ballad. ?The guy can sing.

edit; hearing i remember you live gives me chills

edit; god damn sebastian is amazing

Thanks Mango!! I Love you!  : ok: : ok:

Oh...By Your Side is such a beautiful song! :love: :love:

And then people ask me why I think Baz is a god! He don't get older...he gets better!!!

Sebastian has some interesting comments on when HIS new CD is coming out.  Saying how people just don't buy CD's anymore.  People go to youtube and elsewhere and hear it for free so it's much different than back in the day.  His management is working on HOW to get his music out there.  He also talked about the changes in MTV as far as the lack of videos go.  GNR could be facing similar problems.

thanks, sorry i did not put it better than what u said here also wasnt there something about the 3000 fans that they wanted to play 4 and all and gnr understands that they have not been to me in 15 yrs and r happy to play for the fans that would come and all..sorry was working and got bits and pieces during this part

Sebastian did indeed address some interesting points about how people get their music these days. ?I laughed when he mentioned about signing his album with Verizon or Cingular. ?:hihi:
i am old school and like to buy CD's, but i am in the minority it seems.

Sebastian had me cracking up during the interview. ?He has so much energy and has such a great personality and sense of humor!

He sounded Fabulous, and his band sounded great too! ?It takes a lot of balls to do a live, acoustic set on the radio!!! He nailed it though!!
His voice sounds better now than ever!!! ? ?:beer:

No need to apologize.? What you said was right.? :)? It's kinda hard to follow Baz sometimes.? LOL.

He said he read 3000 tickets were sold for a venue that held 5500 people.? And after 15 years for a guy that's never** played there, those sales were "not unexpected".? (**He said "never", but later said "to come back into town".? So, he lost me in parts.)? Eventually, he got around to saying 3000 tickets would've been viewed as a success "for that place".? The cancellation had nothing to do with the sales.? They just wanted to be able to put on a full production, but the fire marshals and the state laws were rather demanding.

thanks for putting the interview up!  : ok:

Baz is so full of shit... According to the venues site it holds has 9,000 seats, maybe a little less for a concert but still.. Also he keeps running around telling everyone how he has sold out MSG in 15 minutes.. Tickets are still available.. The guy is a tool.

And you are?

by your side is a GREAT song... I wonder when baz cd is coming out?? I think i heard hes searching for a label now or something..

Here is a write-up on the interview.

Former SKID ROW frontman Sebastian Bach, who is currently touring North America as the opening act for GUNS N' ROSES, has commented on the cancellation of GN'R's Nov. 6 concert in Portland, Maine. In a live interview with the Hartford, Connecticut radio station WCCC which aired Tuesday afternoon (Nov. 7), Bach stated, "Basically what happened is that GUNS N' ROSES has a huge pyro show ? anybody that's seen the concert knows that to be the case. And when the fire marshall showed up, they were not into it ? they were like, 'This is too much.' Also, they have these laws up there in Maine now where they literally told GUNS N' ROSES and PAPA ROACH and us, they said any fans caught in the building smoking a cigarette will be immediately arrested, any bandmember on stage with a beer in his hand will be escorted out of the venue and taken into jail. And it's like,' Dude, it's a rock concert. It's a ROCK show.' Basically, it felt like they didn't want the thing to go down. And I read on Blabbermouth where it said 3,000 tickets were sold for the show, which was a 5,500 seater. And I'm like, dude, it's Portland, Maine. After 15 years, the guy's [Axl] never played there ? that's not unexpected, like, to come back into town? I think that there's a real peculiar thing about human nature where people really appreciate people only after they're dead. It's like Dimebag Darrell ? we all agree that he's the most legendary guitar player ever, right? A friend of mine. Nobody really mentions the fact that when he was playing the night he died, there was probably 150 people in front of him. He was at the Alrosa Villa, which is a complete dump. And then he died, and now it's like, 'Dimebag's my hero. Oh, my God? He was more important to me than anything. I'm the ultimate?' It's like, 'Where were you when DAMAGEPLAN was touring?' So here Axl's like, 'Oh, you only sold 3,000 tickets.' That's after 15 years. We've got a sold-out Madison Square Garden the day after tomorrow. So, for me, it's like? Dimebag used to say, 'Those are the highs and lows of rock and roll.' So, for me, if GUNS can't do their whole show? It's like KISS wouldn't show up without doing their whole show. If you're coming into a venue with a concert and a production, then you wanna give the full show. But it wasn't for tickets, because that [3,000 people in a 5,500 seater] would have looked pretty good, actually."

Whatever buddy.. Go ahead and love Baz.. He is just another yes man running around putting out Axl's fires with straight out lies.. The venue has 6,500 seats and holds 9,000 when the floor is open.. Why does he have to run around lieing saying that they sold 3,500 out of 5,500 when that is not the case.. He also runs around saying "we" sold out MSG in 15 minutes.. Axl and The name Guns N'Roses sold the tickets not Bach... Not to mention the show isn't even sold out yet...

Your wrong guy.

Estero had the same amount of people at that show. Why not merge Estero & the Jacksonville show, if that's the case?

Your theory is illogical. Let it go.

Wrong about what?? What theory??  The place holds 9,000 not 5,500...  I am just saying Bach is full of shit.. That's all....

So he's misinformed. That full out makes him a liar, with malcontent?

If glam metal has a Renaissance man, there's no doubt it's Sebastian Bach. As the frontman for the '90s hair-metal act Skid Row, he sold over twenty million records (and probably went through just as many cans of hairspray). However, when his peers cut their hair short and bought flannel shirts to try to remain relevant, Bach reinvented himself as a Broadway performer, television personality and, most recently, honorary Gilmore Girl. We caught up with Bach in Toronto while he was on tour with Guns N' Roses ? although his St. Louis date is a solo show ? and talked with him about his past, his future and what he's most thankful for this Turkey day. (Hint: It has cornrows.)

Jonah Bayer: First off, I wanted to tell you that my first show ever was seeing Skid Row open for Guns N' Roses on the "Use Your Illusion" tour.

Sebastian Bach: Yeah! [Laughs] Now we're coming again to rock you, dude.

Do you remember that tour pretty well?

Yup, I sure do. I just can't believe that I'm on the road with Axl again fifteen years later. That's really crazy.

How is it different this time around?

It actually feels a lot more the same. There's a lot more similarities to talk about than differences, because there's nothing like music that transports you to where you were when you first heard it. So when I'm in a big arena like I was last night in Baltimore, and there's thousands of people in front of me, and I'm singing "18 & Life," the only difference is that in 1991 people held up lighters and in 2006 they hold up cell phones.

How do you think the music industry has changed in the past fifteen years?

Well, the Internet has obviously been the biggest change. Back in '91 the first Skid Row album sold over ten million copies worldwide, and with Slave to the Grind we sold over seven million worldwide ? and nobody now sells that many records. How people get their music now is completely different; people don't go into a store and buy CDs anymore. I've got a brand-new song called "Body Inside" that I started doing when we started playing with GNR in Europe, and it's got over 40,000 plays and it's not even out on any record. So people already know my new songs that are on my forthcoming album because of the Internet.

I heard you're also doing "My Michelle" with GNR on this tour. Is that fun for you?

It is fun, but it's also challenging vocally to do my whole set and then wait through Papa Roach and then come out at the end and scream at the top of my lungs again. [Laughs. ]

Obviously, you've been very involved in theater in the past decade. What's the biggest difference between performing at a rock show and a Broadway show?

Well, in rock & roll I am in control of my stage, and in Broadway the director or the producer have control. Like when I'm doing Andrew Lloyd Webber's Jesus Christ Superstar, it's Andrew Lloyd Webber's thing, it's not Sebastian Bach's thing, you know? So that got kind of old for me, because I'm used to being in control. I love rock & roll. I love theater, too, but I've just had my fill of that for right now.

What's starring on Gilmore Girls like? I'd imagine that a lot of the younger viewers probably have never heard of Skid Row.

Yeah, well, I get noticed a lot for the Gilmore Girls. Walking down the street, little girls will say, "Are you that guy?" And I'm thinking they're saying, "Are you the guy from Skid Row?" and they're not ? they're saying, "Are you that guy from the Gilmore Girls?" I think I get noticed more now because of that show.

Honestly, between Supergroup and all your other appearances, it's really difficult to keep track of everything you've been up to in the past few years.

[Laughs] Yeah, that's good. I like that. Well, dude, all that TV and acting stuff I do enjoy, but rock & roll is my first love by far, so right now I'm concentrating on that. I'll definitely do more TV in the future ? I'm doing another episode of the Gilmore Girls next week, actually ? but rock & roll is where my heart is.

You have a solo record coming out next year. Was it hard to find the time to record that will your schedule?

Yeah, we actually recorded it when we were on the European Guns N' Roses tour, and then we went to LA for three weeks and recorded, and then we went right back on tour. It's not totally finished yet, musically it is and vocally it's probably at about 95 percent. I just have a little more work to do on it.

How would you describe the way it sounds?

It sounds new. I always try to make something that sounds different, but I also want you to be able to put it in your iPod and have it make sense with all the other stuff I've put out ? except for the Last Hard Men [Bach's supergroup featuring members of the Breeders, Smashing Pumpkins and the Frogs], because that doesn't make sense at all. [Laughs.]

Is your set on this tour mostly hits from Skid Row, or are you doing a lot of solo stuff?

Yes and yes. [It's weird] when people ask me if I'm doing Skid Row songs, because it's almost like people are saying you're the first person to do your own songs. Ozzy Osbourne plays "Paranoid" every night and nobody ever says, "Are you going to do 'Paranoid?'" Yeah, he is. Well, Sebastian Bach does "Youth Gone Wild"; that's how he works.

Do you still like playing those old Skid Row songs live?

Yeah, I sold twenty million records; I'm not going to not do those songs. [Laughs] What the fuck would that be? That would suck.

I guess it just seems a little strange because the other members of Skid Row are out there playing those songs right now, too.

But you're acting like this is the first time this has happened in music. Every single band you can think of has gone through this. David Lee Roth plays "Running with the Devil" and so does Eddie Van Halen; Tony Iommi plays Black Sabbath songs and so does Ozzy. I'm not the first guy in rock to have a solo career.

Understood. Well, Thanksgiving's right around the corner: What is Sebastian Bach most thankful for this year?

I thank God for Axl Rose for bringing me on tour. Welcome to the jungle of the youth gone wild; we're gonna tear it up. Rock & roll is back, mother trucker ? that's what I want to say.


Article at: http://music.riverfronttimes.com/issues/2006-11-22/music/music_1.html

It was hysterical on "Supergroup" when he made them all watch the fuckin' Gilmore Girls for his 2 sec. appearance. 

Bach has been equally smitten with the recordings that would be Chinese Democracy, which probably won't be out by year's end as promised.

"I've heard some incredible music," he said. "He's pulling from a wealth of material. He's got like 30-some songs."

So why can't he just get them done?

"He doesn't explain that to me because he doesn't need to. It's his album and his art," Bach said, turning philosophical. "Rock `n' roll is filled with stories of musicians that have gone crazy trying to live up to expectations, like Syd Barrett. At the end of the day, Axl has managed to stay pretty damn level-headed. But he is trying to create a record that lives up to Appetite for Destruction, one of the best albums of all time, and that's taken a long time."

I love that they randomly say it won't be out by years end and give no evidence or reason to back it up.

Is this positive news , no offense bro , but how many threads will we read , saying nobody knows when the album will be out

sorry to burst your bubble but there really is no evidence to suggest that it iwll be out this yr either....

Another Sebastian interview: VELVET REVOLVER Can't Do 'Welcome To The Jungle' Because WEILAND Can't Sing It

Ross Raihala of TwinCities.com recently conducted an interview with former SKID ROW frontman Sebastian Bach. A few excerpts from the chat follows:

On what it's like to be back playing arenas:

"It was the most amazing thing for Axl to ask my band to join the tour. It's something I've waited for for a long time. I get offers to do those package tours, the nostalgia-oriented ones, but I always say no. But GUNS N' ROSES, that one I'll do. I'm very, very lucky. There's a lot of firsts on this tour for me. We got to play a sold-out Madison Square Garden. There have been a lot of places I've never played before, and for an old guy like me, it's great."

On what Axl's like behind the scenes:

"He likes to laugh. He likes to joke around, like, a lot. And he's got the most unique voice I've ever heard. His speaking voice is this low baritone, Clint Eastwood kind of a voice. And then when he laughs, it's like a boy soprano's highest note that comes out. You know, he's singing better than ever now, and that's a fact. That's one thing about Axl people forget. He is one of the best rock 'n' roll singers that ever lived."

On the sometimes long wait from his solo set to "My Michelle":

"Well, I've been on the road since June. And, you know, that whole 'My Michelle' thing is great. I sing my own stuff, then wait two or three hours and jump up there and scream even harder. I've been doing that every day. It's good work if you can get it. The one thing I've learned about myself ? and I learned this when I did 'Jesus Christ Superstar' ? is that my voice is probably the strongest part about me. It's the rest of me that gets tired. My legs and my eyeballs and my arms and my brain. But my pipes are fine."

On his appearance on "SuperGroup":

"My favorite part of it was when I tell the powers that be to f? off. I just love that. And when they brought that stylist in, I'm, like, 'No, I'm not cutting my hair.' They tell me she cut Jennifer Lopez's hair. Dude, Sebastian Bach has cooler hair than Jennifer Lopez. I look at music as a form of self-expression. I don't need a stylist. Why doesn't she have her own band if she's such an expert? Whatever. My father was a famous painter, and as a little boy, I watched him wake up every day, get his paintbrush and paint all day. He did that 'til the day he died. My microphone is my paintbrush. That's what I do."

On getting the call to star in "Jekyll and Hyde" on Broadway:

"I was, like, 'Do you have the right phone number? Why are you calling me?' They sent the script, and I was on the road with my solo band playing some f??? dump. I was looking around at this club and thinking, hmmm, Broadway or this place? Honestly, though, I didn't think I could do it. The script is so thick, it's like 300 pages or some s?. It's all in old English, and there were these words I'd never heard before in my life. There's 17 songs, and I'm in every scene. But I had a lot of encouragement from people. And I loved doing it. It really was the highlight of my life."

On those who say the 2006 version of GUNS N' ROSES isn't the real thing:

"You know, you've got Slash and Duff doing STONE TEMPLE PILOTS songs with Weiland (in VELVET REVOLVER). They can't do 'Welcome to the Jungle' because he can't sing it. Let's be honest. Then, you've got Axl doing 'Sweet Child o' Mine' and 'Rocket Queen' with some other dudes. I'd rather see Axl singing GUNS N' ROSES songs than Slash doing STONE TEMPLE PILOTS songs. Nobody can sing 'Paradise City' like Axl Rose."

Story at: http://www.twincities.com/mld/twincities/16123665.htm

And this is why I love Bach. Not for his music, but for his attitude.

Bach speaks the truth.

He's the man.

Poor Weiland.. :hihi:

Bach should be thankful. Axl was very gracious for extending him this slot.

However, Bach mouths off about other musicians alot. He should shut his trap when it comes to Weiland and Slash.

It is not a far slide back to skid row, Bach. And, I'm talking about where the bums hang-out.

Bach saved Axls voice by lending him his vocal teacher. We owe Bach big time

did he really do this?

My guess is that this event has been at least slightly blown out of proportion, and is now beginning to take on mythical status.

Actually no, a good vocal teacher is very, very, VERY important to anyone who calls himself a "singer". If Axl blow out his voice, is because he didn't have a decent vocal teacher by his side to say: "Dude, you really shouldn't do that, otherwise you will lose your voice really quickly", I know what I'm talking about, I've been taking singing classes for 2 years with a really amazing teacher, so I know how important is to have a (good)voice teacher to help me out...

By the way, as baz said: "Axl is singing better than ever, and that's a fact.", do you think Axl is better because of what? A Miracle? Or because he has a good voice teacher?

Yes, Axl nearly lost his voice after the May 12th Hammerstein show, and was worried he'd have to cancel the other shows until Bach introduced Axl to his vocal teacher.

Okay the article is fair enough, but of course Scott can't sing "Welcome to the Jungle", it's not his vocal register, he doesn't do the high pitched 80s screaming like that, he's got alot more of a baritone. Also, Slash is playing Stone Temple Pilots songs because he's in the band with Scott, they are all equal that way, they all have equal respect for each other and their collective backgrounds - Velvet Revolver is all 5 of them together; GNR is Axl's sole vision now, don't think he would care to do a NIN song or a Replacements song or whatever. That's not meant in a critical way, that's just how it is. The current GNR aren't a collective group like the old band was where when you thought of GNR it was Axl Rose and Slash and Duff etc. When you think of GNR now, people only really relate it to Axl. I hope that made sense.

Anyway thanks for posting the article.

Mythical? Come on. There are 101 myths surrounding GNR, and this is not one of them.

Seriously i think that's all Bach meant about Weiland. I don't think he really meant it as insulting as it may have sounded to some. Just that the guys in VR do the old songs of their singer and the guys in GNR do the same.
I also agree with you about GNR being solely Axl's vision now and VR being a more equal partnership in that regard, which is why i tell people both parties have what they want now. Axl i think always saw and wanted GNR to be his vision, and Slash/Duff didn't see it that way and didn't want it that way.

But yeah, i like the way Bach gives interviews, i like the way he talks. I also think its funny that Axl doesn't say anything to him about why the albums not out yet. It's like not even Bach goes there. Could you imagine?
Bach:  "Hey Axl, how come it's taken so long-"
Tommy:   "Dude... don't."
Robin:     "Seriously."

Bach is forever the entertainer :beer:

That was funny.

Baz sure knows how to explain things.  :hihi:

Oh come on.? He had his raspy voice back BEFORE Bach introduced that vocal teacher.? After a couple of NY-shows he lost his voice and Bach knew a good vocal teacher who saved those other couple of shows.? Saying Bach is the reason of Axl having his rasp back is total bullshit.

All I know is that when Baz opened in NC- it sucked, BAD !! Literally 1/3 of the place got up and left.  I missed him on purpose the next show !!

Where does it say that Bach's vocal coach is responsible for Axl's rasp?  We are grateful because Axl lost his voice after the first show and Bach's vocal coach was able to get Axl ready for a concert 2 nights later. 

"We have a nice long set. We also have Helmet on the bill and the Suicide Girls. I'm doing the hits and some new stuff, too. Just like every other musician. The Guns N' Roses fans are not just interested in old songs. They want to hear "Chinese Democracy." I even know when it's coming out, but I can't betray my confidence. If you want to hear the songs, come by the show. Axl plays a long time, it's like two and a half ? hours."

THAT IS JUST GREAT!

GUAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTT???

SEBAS KNOWS WHEN IT'S COMING OUT?
We definitly need to kidnapp him  :rofl:
(sorry my eanglish)

that one goes to all the doubters... there is a 'firm' release date... and I am 100% sure it is before European Tour in 2007. so all is well? : ok:

*sends Bach a myspace message*  :hihi: :hihi:

J/k but that means a firm date is set, and if Bach knows, then we our bound to know soon.  :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:

I have hope I believe its coming out now ;D

angel down and chinese democracy, out 2007 :hihi:

Hahaha! Now we know there is a definate release date....

baz is such a teaser!!

he doesnt know shit

ya, being best friends with axl means you dont know anything...

AXL?

 i would be sure he knows a lot more than us. ?i would also think he would know the release date. ?surely after spending all the time he has on tour with gn'r and being good mates with axl himself, he should know something. ?shouldn't he? ???

well why say anyhting if you cant say anything...just another attempt at trying to calm the fans down IMO :peace:


nope....guess again :hihi:

Sounds like good marketing. I can't see him saying that if he really knew when it was coming out.

big news! you gotta love Bach.. he can't help himself, i wouldn't have trusted a release date to him lmao hopefully he spills the beans

This is great news.  :beer:

As much as I dig Bach, there is NO WAY he knows the release date.  He simply has too big of a mouth to be given that kind of secretive info.   : ok:

Baz didn't know that he was inviting peoples to the CANCELLED Fresno show but he knows the CD release date??? :confused:

Im sure if he had the date, he would have said it already. :rofl:

Well he feels big when Axl is his buddy, and he tells Bach, I think it makes him feel so cool lmao. I love Bach, but it's funny in my head of what their friendship.

because im willing to bet the interview was done before the cancelation

Great news, but I bet Bach is spending his holiday stuffed in the trunk of a car because of that comment.

Na, I think he knows.. he just blabbed that he knew right there...its killing him keeping it in

hes like a kid when dealing with music, he gets soo excited about it. remember on supergroup when he was doing take it back with evan seinfeld, he was about to splooge everywhere he was soo excited about it :hihi: :rofl:

 Funny how some of you now just take it smile say woot 2007 forgettin the fact that Axl AND Merc both promised and said 2006.Seriously stop taking the crap your being shoveled stop being so understanding you can still be a GnR and Axl fan and be pissed off how they have lied and crapped all over us as fans for the past decade.

bands miss their targeted release dates ALL The time.. Velvet revolver said theyd have their cd out by christmas 2005

sebastian bach said hed have his out this october, now hes saying early 2007


I just wish they told us so we didnt have to keep worrying till 2006 was over..

well the only thing is that no one promised you anything ?::)

i dunno if axl and merck lied....i think they spoke before making sure with geffen first...to try and pressure them by creating a buzz :-\ just a pet theory :P

unfortunately geffen didnt bite and now they look like liars

Baz ?:hihi: Anyway, if he says he knows when it's gonna be out, I believe him. Finally some good news!

i beleive him
Axl has leverage on baz
if he tells
he gets kicked off the bill and loses exposure and cash
both of them vital to him

Great news though : ok:

Say what you want about Sebastian, but one thing he seems to be is honest.  I don't think he would just come out and say this if he didn't know.

I sometimes wonder if Baz's comments are just him talking or deliberate...you know throw them a bone.  Either way it is great news if true. : ok:

It is great news.

we all know when it's gonna be out :hihi: ::)


a part of an Axl interview with Radio Rock And Pop Chile, January 2001
http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/articles/showarticle.php?articleid=39

hahah you gotta love baz!

Go find the frustration thread.

If it comes out in '07 I simply wont buy it, i'll become a downloading motherfucker ?:smoking:

Beats him saying "I have no fucking idea when it'll be out," doesn't it? 

That's ridiculous.
 ::)

The show was cancelled because of Bach !!! Axl didn't want him to talk during the gig! :D:D:D

I picture the gig was cancelled so Axl could beat the hell out of Bach for talking so much, then the rest was make up time.

You're ridiculous. People like you are annoying. "Oh my god, I've waited a hundred years for this album, now if it doesnt come out in 2006 I wont buy it. I cant wait a couple more months, even though I've already waited a hundred, a couple months is just too much to wait." ::)

You people are so annoying, just shut the fuck up or get the fuck out. Its that simple, you dont like the way the band does things then go find a new band to like.

I think he'll still buy it, who's going to be the loser ass who says they dont own a copy of it?

Not me.

I have said it all along - since the promised date has come and gone on several occasions over the past 4 years the fans need to return the favor. ?Download ?it first and then go out and buy a copy used after a week. ?:) ?Only way to go. ? ?: ok:

guys...bach heard the whole album already...I am sure he knows when its coming out....how can you hang out with Axl all the time and still have no idea when the album is coming out....bottom line is Bach definately has a better idea of when it is coming out than any of us.....

FUCK THAT.

that's fucking cool ! now we know there's a release date.

i suppose soon is now the word.  ;)

what is screwing GNR out of album sales going to prove?? GNR doesnt owe you shit...so stop acting like they do...who are you? really...why are you so important?

Everyone is entitled to an opinion and that's how I feel. ?You can mess with people for along time, but after awhile everyone needs to learn a lesson; even GNR. ?It's not like my one album will make that much of a difference but it's my way of saying "right back at ya". ?

You sound so childish. Just shut the fuck up. "You broke my toy now I'm gonna break yours"

Get out out here you baby.

wow a caped crusader in our midst

Wow, a cockass in our midst.

"As for Guns N' Roses forthcoming "Chinese Democracy" album the only comment at this time is that there are 2Tuesdays left between now and the end of the year."

Quit being a whiny little bitch. ?If I found out that Managment or the label had caused the delay for, oh let's say, 2 of the past years I might have a change of heart. ?But since that probably isn't gonna happen I am simply following what i feel is fair. ?If Axl and no members of he band ever said it would be released then why would I care? ?But they have. ?On numeros occasions. ?2006 more than ever. ?Don't you ever get tired of being lied to? ?Think about it. ?They don't owe anyone anything agreed - unless they give their word on something - which is called "principle". ?

you aren't owed shit.

no one is owed shit.

Come on, don't be so pessimistic. Let's give them a few days/weeks (or months...). If CD still istn't out by, let's say next April or May, we can still bitch and complain all we want... ?: ok:

First off, download if you want, who really cares? I shall but mine tho just for the sense of occasion and to read the sleeve notes.

Secondly, if this is true, it is almost certainly still this year. Coz if they have a set date for 07 and havent issued a statement to that effect to calm us down why not? And if they do have a set date for 07 and have chosen not to make a statement, then fuck the big There Was a Times.

On a side note, does axl actually think he is exciting the whole world with this shit or does he just enjoy havin a giggle at a few web geeks, coz were the only ones interested, and many of us are a wee bit iritated.

Beware the Axl Clause!

hey arent you the guy who said that the record is definatley coming out November 28th??? I believe it was the first post you ever made on this board....good call....

Quit being a whiny little bitch? Whos the one complaining the album aint out yet? Whos the one who thinks you are owed something? Who is the one who says they've been waiting for long enough?

Heres the answer: YOU.

So why dont you stop your whining.

Oh and by the way, talk about waiting. You've been here for a month, so why dont you take you 46 posts and shove them up your ass. You know nothing about waiting. So jab it fuckhead.

even though i don't belive him this put a huge smile on my face ;D

haha i was only making fun....i just dont think Baz knows :peace: or if he does know it's jsut another incident like above....i'm not believeing anything else on this subject until i see the geffen press release for the album, i was stupid to fall for it this year

i think that we should buy it not DL personally and JB is right we aren't owed anything but it's be damn nice if they got thier facts straight before making claims :peace:

as to electricwhateverthefuckthatsays... whatever pal you fight the good fight...or whatever it is you are doing at the rate your goin' you'll get banned by tonight

I know Seb has a big mouth, but I kind of get the feeling that Axl is asking him to say some of these things - he's become almost like a spokesman for the band. He's interviewed a lot right now, always mentions GNR/Axl very positively - and seems to have a weekly theme (last week it was art), and he and Axl are still buddies. Not saying I necessarily believe he knows the CD release date, but I don't think it's too much of a stretch to think that Axl wants stuff out there without being made personally accountable for every word he utters by the messageboard fanbase.

lol yeah... Sebastian Bach is just the best person of all to believe in.... : ok:

Why is the release date such a sworn secret? I mean this basically means "GnR has a definite date for releasing the album, but to increase impatience and frustration, no one will tell you."

Because it could get pushed back like the other million times!  This is awesome though!!  CHINESE DEMOCRACY STARTS NOW!!!  hopefully for real this time...

Dear sweet Christ...

 I check this board everyday for (possible) updates, and truth be told I go back and forth between patient and disgruntled. As I'm sure the rest of you do too. (Even the most 'high and mighty' of you - be truthful with yourselves and you fellow board users.)
 I've said it before and I'll say it again...
Please, the holidays are right around the corner. Spend time with your families, bang your significant others, donate to a charity, read to an orphan, etc...
 Don't let even one more day pass you by waiting for an album that, quite possibly, may never be released.
If it's meant to be, it will happen.
 It's like drying paint. It'll dry regardless of if you were to stand around watching it, or if you leave a room altogether.
 

This "news" didnt actually move me at all. ?I'll believe it when i see it.

I guess if you dont get excited over it until you have it, you wont be dissapointed by waiting.

Great post.   :peace:

Sounds nice to me! Nice and positive! Should keep the naysayers quiet for a while! Hopefully anyway!

Mike

and why not?? Where has sebastian lied before??? If sebastian bach says he knows, he does...

Oh please Efish how the hell is that ridiculous. I've been saying that all year long, it's the only thing I can do to show them that I don't like to be treated like shit.? ?::) ........Don't get me wrong I'll buy it eventually just not in the first couple of months

I'll buy it because I support GNR...I'll probably buy it twice to be honest....

I'll buy this album in a minute regardless of a release this year or next.

I support Axl and the New Guns vision.

That said...I would be Fucking nuts if it came out on Tues. Dec. 19th.  I just finished my Final Exams and now that I'm break for a month, it would be great to listen to some CD for a month.

We will stil hear some new news in the following 2 weaks.

We will know what delayed stuff(if something has been delayed)
We will know what's going on at the moment.
we will know what Gnr is going to do the next 3 months or so.
We will know when the album Could fall(not when it will)


I think like many others that Feb could be a strong real date. so let's wait a bit.
Baz is cool for telling this but it's like he's asking for attention.
Why is Baz telling us this?

He gives us new song names, information about them
He has heard Cd
He knows when it's coming out
if we want chinese Democracy come to the shows. (like he is trying to sell tickets)

Let's hire this guy for the GNR PR!??? He's way much better then merck at the moment(as a figure of speach)

Ive said it a million times.

I dont trust or believe anyone in GNR's camp.

When I walk into Best Buy and see it on the shelves i still won't believe it.

When I unwrap the CD and stick it in my Cd player, I still wont believe it.

When the CD starts playing........... I'll believe it.

Not before regardless of who says what.

When I walk into Best Buy and see it on the shelves i still won't believe it.

When I unwrap the CD and stick it in my Cd player, I still wont believe it.

When the CD starts playing........... I'll believe it.

I couldn't agree more!!

I second the notion on BAZ as PR manager.  He clearly understands how to communicate with fans, and delivers new info. without being coy or arrogant.  Unlike some leeches who have attached themselves to the Axl/GNR camp.

but still I think it's scary.

what if.

He's just telling this stuff out of his own hand.

There must be a line he won't cross.

I guess we will find out soon enough.

I mean he gives us songs, release date stuff. cd stuff.

Sometime soon someone has to say. Look BAz It's cool your saying this and this but now's enough shut your mouth or we will drop you of the tour!

It's cool yeah he says a lot, but scary two

I wonder if Baz knows when HIS cd will come out!??? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I think this is lame. I've never critisized this bb yet, but we actually have a recent quote from Baz that confirms there IS a release date for ChinDem, and the story gets burried into a "related" thread. For fans looking for positive news about the new album, I don't think it's cool to bury the news story like this. Most members won't find it on page 17 of a 20+ page thread. I didn't even SEE it here. I found out about Baz's quote by doing a daily "Rumor Check" at mygnr, because it was a thread with its own title.

 ???

Just my oppinion.

Great.. I'll Follow

Id like to see how much Bach praises Axl if Axl dropped him from the tour or something for leaking a new song title and for sayin this........

If Axl dropped Bach and Bach still kissed his ass, Great but I wonder just how much bach was kiss his ass if Axl dropped him?

Back doesn't kiss Axl's ass. It has to do with the evil media making you all THINK he does...

Media asks Sebastian 10 Bach questions and 2 Axl questions for interview

Media prints/posts 2 Bach Q&A's and 2 Axl Q&A's, thereby making it LOOK like BAch kisses Axl's ass, because the media really only wanted to know about Axl/Guns.

GN'R really better hurry up and release CD now, before Baz leaks the date! j/k... sort of! ?:rofl:

he cracks me up... he has so much energy and he is so eager to talk! it's really refreshing to see someone who truly enjoys what he does, and who is still a major fan at heart!! ?:love:

I will buy one copy for every worthless person on this board who says they will download it.  It's only money, and like many others on this board have said, I will support GNR!

i will buy it whenever it comes out even if it would be the next week or in 2008 i will support them and yeah i'm prolly one of the most positive guys about the new band, but i just wanna say one thing to those who say that in at least 2 weeks of time we will get news, don't take that for granted this is gn'r and we have said so since late july that something will happen whithin the next 2 weeks but it doesn't, ok it's the last 2 weeks of 2006 and axl has said a couple i' times that 2006 is the year and bla bla but really, don't bitch whine and complain if there isn't anything new in these 2 weeks, see it like me, as long as theya re touring and we are getting positive news from the band and bach it will come out one day and it will blow our minds :yes: :peace:

"treated like shit"?  who the fuck do you think you are?  are you axl's boyfriend?   what the fuck?

you are a guns n roses fan anxious for the release of an album, and NO ONE OWES YOU A GODDAMN THING.

It is good news IF Baz knows the release date, then there is a release date, and the release may be imminent... emphasis on MAY.  With all the doubt here, it is a small glimmer of hope :hihi:

Baz knowing the release date is tantamount to him spotting Sasquatch. He knows it now exists but can't convey belief to the rest of the world.

You're right. GNR doesn't owe us shit. And I don't owe them shit either. Connect the dots.

well if you download their CD, you owe them the 15 or 20 bucks or whatever the CD costs.   That is stealing.  Just because the album isn't coming out on your time schedule does't give you the right to be a rotten theif.

actually it does...If he knows the release date, that means IT EXISTS.. it means theres a plan to get the cd out there, its on its way... I dont care if I have the date, but its reassuring to know that its coming out :hihi:

Don't get carried away.  It might mean that he knows the anticipated release date.  If there was a set release date then universal would know about it.   I'm not saying it's impossible that the date has been set and they're keeping it quiet, but I'd say it's more likely that they were shooting for this year, missed the target and they not have a new schedule.   So it could be that it's Q2 and that's as "firm" as it is, and maybe that's what Baz means. 

I wouldn't read too much into it just yet.

personally, I think that Universal just COULDNT put chinese democracy out in 2006...they care about sales and $$ and just putting it out there in 2006 wouldnt do that..

I still cant believe the rumour thread was deleted! :'(

It's not deleted.  They just decided that rumours about Chinese Democracy aren't relevant anymore and put it in Dead Horse.

Ah yes, so used to seeing it at the top of the page! I think thats quite funny how its become "dead horse" material! : ok:

lets not turn this thread into then!  otherwise stuff like what Bach just said gets buried.  : ok:

It already GOT buried. Right now someone is reading this and wondering what you're talking about because Bach's quote is on page 16 of a 21 page thread.

JMHO of course.

FYI, the Bach comments were picked up and posted in an acticle on Rolling Stone, for whatever it's worth.

Did you pay for the leaks you downloaded?

Everyone should just try to relax a bit.

None of us have any clue what's going on in Axls world.

It's obviously coming out at some point.

that's what we've been saying for years now...

and this is not the chinese democracy release date rumour thread...

But it turned INTO a ChinDem release date rumor thread because a Bach quote about the release date got burried in here  :hihi:

  Yeah Baz know the relase date alright....one of the tuesdays left in 2006  :rofl:

just being a wise ass.

Dunno if it's been posted yet but here...nothing too new here.

Sebastian Bach Parades ?Chinese Democracy? Knowledge In Our Faces
So Sebastian Bach is essentially Axl?s publicist these days, right? That?s practically official already? The former Skid Row rocker has come to the defense of Axl et al, claiming that not only does Chinese Democracy have a release date, but that he knows what it is. He can?t say of course, because that would be a ?betrayal of confidence.? Right.

His temporary solution for fans who are sick of this runaround bullshit? Come to the show. ?Guns N? Roses fans are not just interested in old songs,? the singer reportedly said. ?They want to hear Chinese Democracy ? If you want to hear the songs, come by the show.?

Who knew rock bands could be such shameless teases?


-- Elizabeth Goodman

http://www.rollingstone.com/rockdaily/inde...e-in-our-faces/

nothin new...interesting RS picks up on it though....they're really caught up in this CD predicament too  :hihi:

How can you pay for something not released yet? When they are officially released everyone will pay for them. Downloading/stealing officially released music is fucked up and illegal.  : ok:

TERRIBLE, what about CD? Is the same and same  history, c'mon, Axl  WAKE-UP PLEASE!!!! :crying:

http://shut up dude

Shut up you, you're asshole, it's my opinion, If don't like, suck my dick!!!!

yea you're going to do great here.   ::)
