Here Today... Gone To Hell!

SEBASTIAN BACH ? ?Rock ?N Roll Means Complete Freedom?

September 27, 2011

Enjoying a bottle of Luigi Bosca Malbec with SEBASTIAN BACH at Hernando?s Hideaway in Toronto, the former SKID ROW singer ? was not exactly drowning his sorrows. Quite the opposite in fact, Baz was celebrating the release of his brand new solo album, Kicking & Screaming [Sept 27th].

GN? R has announced a US tour that runs throughout October and November. Considering just how much Baz has played with Axl in the past, and the fact that Axl lent his vocals to Angel Down, an opening slot on this upcoming jaunt would seem more than likely. ?Yes, I got a text last week. Nothing?s been confirmed, but I did get a text saying, we want you to play with us. I don?t know how many shows, so keep your fingers crossed.?

that is awesome!!! If it were Bach and Buckcherry then GNR that would be crazy...I hope it happens. 

Oh yeah! Realistically though I can see Baz doing the northeast corridor dates in the US around Thanksgiving. If he went the whole tour, great!

Again, love Baz, but enough is enough for me.

I have to agree.  You can only get excited hearing 18 And Life so many times before he becomes redundant as an opener for GNR.

Fingers crossed, that would be a great show. :yes:

Sebastian has only four solo shows scheduled right now in November.

Nov 05   Starland Ballroom   Sayreville, NJ   
Nov 08   Showcase Live    Foxborough, MA   
Nov 10   Irving Plaza   New York, NY   
Nov 11   Penn's Peak   Jim Thorpe, PA

THANKS fm... aMAZING nEWS

 :beer:

Baz is amazing live. Saw him in Jesus Christ Superstar and opening for GNR in 06.

Love to see him open in Orlando next month.  The guy has one hell of a voice.

I don't remember how much Angel Down material he played during the 06 tour, but I'd love to hear more of it live.

Well i guess Baz won't be involved in the Dallas show.

He was on WDHA here in NJ today and I caught the last couple minutes, reiterated that he was asked to play and that the plan right now was to do regional opening bands. So Buckcherry are doing the 4/5 shows announced in the south, Baz doing the shows in the northeast, etc.

Wouldnt look forward to Baz or Buckcherry, there should be no opening band.

jesus christ can't axl find someone a little more relevant in modern music to open for him?  i get that he's friends with baz but really, enough is enough.

Say what you want about Baz, but he sure knows how to warm up the crowd.

That's what the opening act is supposed to do.

You can always have a "relevant" band, but then you might also have a crowd sitting down and taking bathroom breaks...




/jarmo

I'm going to see GN'R I really don't care who the opening band is.  I happen to really like Sebastian Bach, so this is a bonus for someone like me cause its like seeing Bach for free.  But to me it doesn't matter who opens.  I would even sit through Eminem or Jay-Z to get to GNR, no matter how painful it would be.

Or you could just wander around the venue until the opening act is done if you don't wanna see the opener that bad.

I love baz !!!!


BUT I WANT SOMETHING NEW UNCLE AXL !!! C,MON

yeah there is that option as well.  But I dont know about you guys, when I go to see GNR, I go super early, I just cant help it.  I like to be in the building as early as possible. Anyways,  Bach is awesome, so I can't wait.

Yeah i like getting there early myself

Baz puts on a fkn' great show. We surely loved to see him opening for Guns last year.

Saw Baz open for GnR last October in Manchester and the guy was on fire, he was fucking amazing and I would love to see him again

That's it right there.  Plus there seems to be a lot of Guns N' Roses fans that are fans of Sebastian as well.  Still waiting for dates. :)

Plus it means Nick Stirling is around to stand in, just incase guns have an emergency :hihi:

He is good.

Nick Sterling gets heavy with Wolfetone P-90 pickups

That would take Baz out of the mix for the Hartford show on 11/19.

This has been played out.  Love ya , Baz, but I wish it was someone else opening.

Sebastian was interviewed recently by George Stroumboulopoulos.  He says he got the text from Beta asking him if he wanted to play some shows with GN'R, nothing is confirmed, but he adds every time he's gotten one of those texts it's happened.

He talks about this and Axl @ 18:15 on the video:

Sebastian Bach is a great singer but I've got to be honest I'm not happy with his latest album, having said that, can't think of a better opener for Guns N Roses then this man - certainly he blew me away when he opened for GNR at Wembley in 2006

would not be surprised is Baz plays the 2 jersey shows, being he is from here and doesnt have solo dates set those nights

From Sebastian:

Bach: 'Axl one of a kind'

October 9, 2011

Sebastian Bach has a handful of U.S. headlining dates booked before the holidays but with his sometime performing partner Axl Rose going out with Guns 'N Roses again, maybe he'll end up on stage with him too.

"I would play with Guns 'N Roses anytime," Bach told QMI Agency. "And Axl is one of a kind. I was too young to ever see The Doors but when I see old footage of Jim Morrison on stage, Axl has that kind of danger thing going on when he steps up to the mic. He's pretty fascinating."

The two met back in 1989 when Skid Row was opening for Aerosmith at the L.A. Forum. "Axl came down to do the song Train Kept A Rollin' with Steven Tyler and he didn't know the words, and he came to my dressing room and he goes, 'Do you know the words to this?' and I go, 'Yes, I do!' So I sat down there with him. That was a crazy night."

I LOVE BAZ !! but not too many shows ok !!!

i feel bad for me,  .....nahhhhhhh  what ever ...... CMON BAZ ....ROCK THE FUCKING STAGE  !!!!! EVERYTIME YOU WANT WITH GUNS   :)

I will be happy as hell to have Sebastian Bach open for GNR in Camden, NJ on Nov. 26. 
 :beer:

I bet u Baz would b happier then you??? lol. But to the topic,  i would rather hav a diff opener, but i dont mind having Baz. The possibilty of him joining Axl on Sorry makes it kinda cool... I really dont care for Buckcherry...

Sebastian was interviewed by New Zealand's therocknet.nz radio prior to his album's release.  He's asked...

The Rock: He seems to get a lot of flack in the media doesn't he Axl Rose? How does that affect him, is he pretty good at ignoring all that?

Sebastian Bach: He doesn't care, I mean, he's just not into being famous -- cause he's already more famous than you could ever be. He's just into doing his concerts and making his music.  I really don't think he's too concerned with the media at this point (laughs).

And one more solo date - Sebastian Bach @ Jaxx in West Springfield, VA - Nov 4

From an interview with Sebastian:

October 17th, 2011

Do you think we will see you popping up on stage with Guns N' Roses on their upcoming North American tour dates?

Sebastian Bach: I hope so! I have been texting Axl and I really hope we can do some shows together!

STAY THIRSTY: You know Guns n? Roses play the same week that you do in New York, so I hope Axl is with you!

Sebastian Bach: I would love that! I would like to open for them. I?ve been texting him lately just the last couple of days, maybe we?ll do some shows with them.

STAY THIRSTY: You?ve really maintained a close friendship with Axl throughout the years. Can you talk about that a little bit?

Sebastian Bach: Yeah, you know I always wondered why he?s so nice to me, like what does that say about me? (Laughs) But he?s great guy. He?s helped me out so much in my career. He sang on Angel Down and I sang on Chinese Democracy. And he just helps me out and I?m here for him. He?s a great friend.

If my memory serves, he actually left Jersey and moved to California a few weeks ago after he lost his pad in his divorce.

I like Baz. I also like BLS. Zakk is actually a Jersey native.

Wouldn't mind either of them opening for Uncle Axl.

Actually, Baz lost his house due to flooding during Hurricane Irene in New Jersey.  He lost a lot of his memoribilia.  I live five minutes from his "old' house.  His wife and kids still are in the area, Baz went to LA.  Very curious as to who is opening at the NJ show.

For sure!  The one time I'm not early Axl will be.  As for Bach.  the dude rocks and he does pump up the crowd.  But that really doesn't matter 45 mins after he leaves the stage.  I'd pay to watch SB, but I want a new opener.  Too bad they never could land Avenged.

The stuff he lost was crazy irreplaceable too. Original Skid Row masters gone forever!! no boxset, that just makes me sad, i feel bad for the guy  :no:

I just saw on twitter that Sebastian Bach will do a major tour announcement this morning.  Guns N' Roses?

 :P

Yay, I get a third helping of Baz when I go to Camden.

your right baz is touring with gnr https://www.facebook.com/sebastianbach?sk=app_123966167614127

No Camden listed yet. Hopefully we get something better.

Can someone tweet Fernando and ask who's opening the midwest dates this week, more specifically, Chicago?

no IZOD center either? right?

Finally. :)

Totally thrilled to hear BAZ will be playing the Wilkes-Barre show!!  I was never a BLS fan so this is great news!!  Also gonna see BAZ for the first time this Wednesday in Lancaster,PA.  Back when I was a young teen my dad hated both GN'R and SKID ROW.  Once time he was mad and when he saw the back of my Skid Row t-shirt he got even more mad and yelled out that, "Instead of "YOUTH GONE WILD" it's gonna be "YOUTH GONE CRYIN"!!  So glad I'm not 14 anymore

Haha, that's funny because that's a typical thing you'd expect a parent to say.  :hihi:

Retweeted by gunsnroses and 76 others

Surprised he's not playing the Hamilton gig.  Anyone know who's opening in Hamilton?

Cheers,

Andrew

only 3 shows?? and neither of the NJ shows (which basically bookend the 3 shows announced - except for MA show before camden). woiuld love to see him add 3 more. 

i'm kinda disappointed - i was hoping my friends would get to see him cause he puts on a hell of a show. also, he is a sure thing....i know it'll be a good opener. now there's the risk of there being some crappy local band. keeping my fingers crossed for someone good.

but i am going to Wilkes Barre so i'm psyched i'll get to see him there.  :beer:

That's my fear for the Chicago show.  :nervous:

i almost threw up in my mouth when i saw hinder. there is a band on the same level as hinder that is from PA and spent some time "cutting their teeth" in philly. they are called Haelstorm and they have a chick lead singer. they suck (bubble gum rock music at its worst) but the local rock station here plays them to death. i hope i'm way off on this one, cause my friends would kill me for that.  :hihi:

They should have Silvertide open the Camden show.

I was really hoping for Baz as an opener in Chicago myself. I hope something gets announced soon. BLS, Loaded, Buckcherry, Baz... so many other cities getting great openers, I'm hoping Chicago and Detroit get something good.

hahaa Halestorm!  They even cover "Out ta Get Me".  I remember back in 90's they thought they were sooo coool..still don't know why any radio station would play them, even now!

When Hinder/Seether played the York,PA Fair I looked through a hole in the fence and half the seats were empty!  Sometimes people put Buckcherry in the same lot as a bunch of the bands they played tours with, but I think Buckcherry is the only one of those that they can write+play real rocknroll.  I was hoping for either them or Baz to open the PA show, and it's gonna be Baz.   

Just goes to show the decline in music sales

that would be awesome, if Silvertide still existed. they were one of my favorite bands and would be a great opener. that's how they got their start...opening a show in camden for Aerosmith when scheduled opener had canceled.

Silvertide got into a major fight with their label and the label made it virtually impossible for them to continue. its stuff like that that really makes me appreciate Axl and how he's "not caving in."

Walt and Nick had reunited and had a band called Siani, but i haven't heard anything about them in about a year.

keeping my fingers crossed for someone good. i was 100% convinced it would be bach.

Think any chance of Bullet for My Valentine or Papa Roach doing some shows? I know they opened for GnR before

Hahahaha, yeah, Bullet for my Valentine went over REALLY well with Gn'R fans.....  :hihi:

They weren't that bad. :hihi:

This might just be the asshole in me, but I kinda like when the openers are just flat out rejected by the crowd. I like watching the people bitch and moan about how bad they suck, lol. Hahaha.

I know. Such a shame because they were a great band. Their album was amazing. Got to meet them when they opened for Motley Crue. Seemed like cool guys.

LOL...me too....I thankfully walked in late enough to miss them at the shows I was at!
