The Sebastian Bach / Sebastian Bach Band thread

[One.In.A.Million]

I can't get enought of Baz's new song Awake, really is catchy as hell. 

This is the kind of music that should be on the radio, and be up the charts. Where's the love for real music gone, Sebastian should have countless No 1's under his belt, under his solo name. Angel Down was amazing, and by the looks of it, his new album will be out of this world.

Sebastian said it's only gonna get worse, in an interview a while back. And I agree, the music industry is losing it's way. As long as I know I'm listening to real art, I'm content to let everyone else waste their ears on crap.

Can't wait Sebastian 4 the album, let's rock.

More on the producer search from Sebastian:

Just talked to 2nd producer abt next cd . Super nice guy with great ideas & killer track record ! I am so happy that both producers I have spoken with really dig the demo cd . Both said they were "surprised" how much they liked it! Dunno how to take that but I think there's a compliment in there somewhere haha! & just like "slave to the grind" & "angel down " both producers said it was "heavier" than they thought it would be. Ahh yes my plan is working haha! I know what I've put out in the past & I know what's next in your iPod with my name on the screen. Trust me when we are done with this cd it will rip your head off. Talking to 3rd producer tomorrow going to the dudes studio . Gonna be hard to pick these are all top level guys!

At least there are some people in the music industry, who still have some common sense when it comes to what rocks. I'm sure Sebastian will choose the best one, he always seems to find the best talent out there.

NEW DEMO CD Report !

by Sebastian Bach on Thursday, December 30, 2010 at 9:11am

Lance HaunRogue December 16 at 1:43pm Report
 
A Wild Ride with Sebastian Bach!
 
Last night I had the pleasure of spending some time with legendary rock vocalist, Sebastian Bach! Sebastian and I met online and discovered that we had many similar interests, heroes and some coincidental life experiences that gave us a lot of common ground to build from... so, while he was here in San Diego I offered to take him downtown and find a nice dinner spot and then hang out for awhile and talk over some good food, live music and perhaps a few drinks at a fun night spot... and that we did!
 
I met Sebastian at his hotel bar with my son, Landon, and after a bit of chatting and a couple of photos, we hit the road! On the way to drop Landon off, Sebastian asked if we wanted to hear the demos for his NEW CD!!!! Um.... HELL YES!!!!
 
So Sebastian plugged in his ipod, gave my volume knob an enthusiastic crank to 11, and proceeded to melt our fucking ears, with song after song of intense musicianship, well-crafted harmonies, and that searing vocal prowess that all who love Sebastian have come to expect... but this time he's taking it all the way... he's taking no prisoners!!!
 
It was like our own mini-concert in the cab of my car, as Sebastian air jammed and sang along to each nuance of the songs for us, I could feel how pumped he is about this record, he is just amazed with his guitarist, Nick Sterling, and rightly so! This kid is AMAZING!!! He has that intuitive phrasing that is so soulful, but it is perfectly mixed with speed and precision that is remarkable for a player of his age!
 
The first of the 13, YES 13 tracks was a monster, and even as a demo it sounds thunderous, I can't imagine how badass it will sound once it is produced and mastered for the final cut! And better still, I can't imagine how badass it will be live!!!
 
There is also a really cool tune (I'm not privy to any of the track titles) that has a very modern feel to the verses, with a digital artifact sound to the guitar tone, and then it rises to an in-your-face chorus, that will make any fan of Sebastian's work in Skid Row smile ear to ear!
 
And there is a ballad that is... crushing... it's a haunting lyric! I would quote it here, but I know that Sebastian doesn't want to give it away... it is gonna be his biggest hit ever, it's so heartfelt and beautifully sung, that it really affected me... you'll see! YOU'LL SEE!!!!!
 
So... Sebastian and I dropped my son off and headed for dinner, where we had good food, wine, and heard a jazz fusion band play for awhile (Jimmy Love's was the place, great salmon btw!!!) and we talked and laughed a lot
 
Then we headed to Whiskey Girl for drinks and a lot of head turning, where Sebastian took it all in stride - he is very nice and gracious to his fans, and likewise, the fans were awesome as they approached and gave him praise and took photos etc.
 
The only downer of the night, was my parking in a 5 Star parking lot that closed at midnight!!! So I had to leave my car and get a ride from my buddy and workmate at Church of Steel, Evan (THANK YOU EVAN!!!)
 
Evan came to get us, and after a street magician had made Sebastian's $100 bill vanish and reappear, we called it a night, and we dropped Bas back at his hotel. Bas, you are the best bro!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
 
All in all, the night was a blast! But the highlight for me, was hearing the new album like that... in the car, with Sebastian and my son, who incidentally, loves metal music, and in particular Sebastian!
 
"Dude!" Sebastian said to Landon and I, "You are the first fans to hear this shit!!!!" as he turned around in his seat; his fingers rotating the volume knob... "Are you ready to get your minds fuckin' blown?!?!"
 
Yes Sebastian! We're ready!!! BRING IT ON!!!!!!!!!!

That's unfortunate...from Sebastian:

Sebastian Bach

For the record, my wife & I have decided to separate. In all but every way, we
have actually been separated since last April. We have tried to work things out
for the sake of our family but it has become apparent that our differences at
this point are irreconcilable. In 2011 we go our separate ways.

yes it's unfortunate, but Sebastian will be fine, he's a strong cookie. He has alot of business to take care of at the moment, like his album and hopefully live dates. He needs to keep busy, but I'm not worried about him, he is a savage animal, he will be ok.

Here's to Sebastian.

Yeah, it really is.  I just saw he posted this on Facebook Dec. 20th:

Sebastian Bach

Christmas, like life, is really about one thing: love. Life without love is unbearable. There is no Christmas without love. To all of you in love together this Christmas season, I salute you. You got the only Christmas present that matters, at all.

[dogrose tina]

I still can' believe it. They looked so happy together. But it seems to be true. This is so sad. And it makes it hard to believe in love.  Whos next? Bono? I hope not!

[One.In.A.Million]

Well check this video out, they seem to be getting on really well here. But maybe, they both knew it was over at that point, and was just being really good friends, who knows.

SEBASTIAN BACH's 'Ducks' Video To Premiere During Tonight's 'Late Night With Jimmy Fallon' - Jan. 6, 2011

The official video for "We Are the Ducks" ? the "power ballad" about respecting the power of the University of Oregon football team (Oregon Ducks) which was performed by former SKID ROW frontman Sebastian Bach during last night's (Wednesday, January 5) edition of NBC-TV's "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" show ? will make its debut on tonight's "Fallon" episode.

Commented Bach: "Hey, I'm glad you all dug the live show last night! Yesterday during the day I recorded the studio version of the song, and also filmed a video for the song at the same time! Tonight on 'Late Night With Jimmy Fallon' will be the premiere of the video! All-new footage different than last night!"

"Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" will air at 12:35 a.m. ET (technically early Friday morning, January 7).

"We Are the Ducks" reportedly features references to some of the places and things that make Eugene special ? including mentions of the Willamette River, coach Chip Kelly and the team's much-talked-about spread offense.

According to KPTV, Fallon said there are Ducks and Auburn Tigers alums who work on his show and that they flipped a coin to see who would receive the power ballad.

"Every school has a fight song, but no school has its own power ballad," Fallon said.

The Ducks and Tigers meet Monday in the BCS national championship game.

"We Are The Ducks" lyrics

It's game day in Eugene
And the kick off time is set
As the sun rises over the Willamette
Wearing yellow and green
A quick pit stop for beer
At the Steelhead on Pearl, we cheer
Many rivals have come
To take on the Ducks
It's them versus us
We are the Ducks from Oregon
We'll fight to the end
And we're here to play and we're playing to win
We are the Ducks
From Oregon
Our boys are prepared
With coach Kelly in charge
And secret "spread offense" on cue cards
Shoulder to shoulder we yell and sing
And lift up our Ducks to victory
We love a good challenge
but take it from us
Don't f**k with the Ducks
We are the Ducks from Oregon
We'll fight to the end
And we're here to play and we're playing to win
We are the Ducks from Oregon
We'll fight to the end
And we're here to play
And we're playing to win
We are the Ducks
