The Sebastian Bach / Sebastian Bach Band thread

[FunkyMonkey]

From a recent interview with Nick Sterling:

How did you get in contact with Sebastian Bach?

Sebastian initially found out about me by seeing an ad I did for Eminence Speakers in Guitar Player magazine. Then he got in contact with me online through my myspace page. After that everything just kind of fell into place, we?ve been communicating by phone for the past few months getting everything figured out for the tour.

What did you think first when you?ve heard about his offer?

I was pretty blown away initially, I thought it would be a great, great opportunity for me, and a wonderful new experience. I?m really excited to see what I can bring to the table!

In February you rehearsed with Guns N?Roses? How was that? Tell me about the experience?

I was contacted on a Sunday. I got a song list Monday, started rehearsing that week and drove out to Hollywood on Friday. It went great! The guys were all very cool and supportive. I?ve known Ron Thal (Bumblefoot) for a long time now, and he?s just a really great guy and a wonderful player.

^^ A little more on this interview.

SEBASTIAN BACH: 'The Music Industry's So Screwed Up' - Jan. 10, 2010

Former SKID ROW singer Sebastian Bach was interviewed earlier this month on "The Paulie Z Show". The chat is now available for streaming using the audio player below.

When asked about his current record-label situation, Bach said, "The music industry's so screwed up, I almost don't wanna even rely on anybody but me. Even though I am doing another record, but it's so cool to be in control of your music and be able to just get it out without asking anybody, you know what I mean?!

"I have my own label, Get Off My Bach, which is distributed through EMI, and we sold about 200,000 [copies] worldwide of [Bach's latest solo album] 'Angel Down' so far, which is recouped from this little record company that I work with. I'd like to be on a way bigger label and all that, but I can't control things like that.

"Just to paint a picture for everybody, Jason Flom [former A&R rep at Atlantic Records] signed SKID ROW and a million other bands. He's the guy who signed us. He also got me on Broadway. He's always been there for me. He has this thing in his contract where he gets this thing called the first right of refusal on anything that I do, and that's for the rest of my life. So whenever I make a CD, he gets it first. He got 'Angel Down' first and he passed on it. He gave it to Jack Ponti at MRV [Merovingian Music, Ltd.], who signed it. Now that was a very cool thing for him to do. But the fans should know that Jason Flom passed on me, Sebastian Bach, with Axl Rose on a record and then he put out STEEL PANTHER. (Laughs) I just want people to realize that ? this same guy who says no to Sebastian Bach and Axl Rose together on record ? 'No. No, thanks.' ? he says yes to a bunch of fucking goofs, clowns, comedy guys. He says yes to them.

"We live in a world [where] VAN HALEN doesn't have a record deal. I mean, Eddie Van Halen doesn't have a fucking record deal. (Laughs) How can there be such a thing as rock and roll if VAN HALEN doesn't have a record deal? (Laughs)"

The Savage Animal calling Steel Panther "a bunch of fucking goofs" huh???

Oh, the irony..

Oh, the irony..

I'm going to let that one go -- in part because I haven't seen "Celebrity Fit Club" yet.

I don't think you'll need "Celebrity Fit Club" for any ironic confirmation.

Well, given some of the other names were "Fist", "Rawdog" and "Celebutard".  And you had to make me look that up.

 

I suppose to be a fan you have to just enjoy the music...and let some of the other stuff go.

[Bazfreak]

Hi there people!!!
How come I can`t find any video from the Canadian Tour with GNR??? Not a single clip!!!
I heard they played Quicksand Jesus in Winnipeg, it's the first time he sang this amazing song since 1992, and no one recorded it?? 
Lets use this thread to post you tube links from the tour...if available 

[FunkyMonkey]

I agree, there hasn't been a lot of footage from the Canadian tour posted so far.  Here is video of Sebastian and Nick Sterling joining GNR on stage last night and a couple of reviews.

Hard rock animal Sebastian Bach, former lead singer of Skid Row, was a kick too. The big knucklehead is absolutely dedicated to the business of old school headbanging and at the 'Dome he punched his way through a set that was full of wicked energy, even if it was dated. At 41, Bach still wields plenty of magnetism, not to mention a mean rock 'n' roll scream.

http://www.canada.com/entertainment/Guns+Roses+lightens+Calgary+crowd/2452230/story.html

"Sebastian Bach, the leather-clad jester of hair metal, primed the pump admirably for the sonic ass-kicking to come ? from the opening of Back in the Saddle, or should that be Bach in the Saddle, to the closing of Youth Gone Wild, which really should be Middle Aged Guys Gone Wild, which is altogether more unexpected and frightening.

Whatever. Bach and his boys delivered the goods, freighted with the full complement of swagger, snarl and Hollywood throwback rock ?n? roll antics so over the top that they transcended their own absurdity.

It really is possible to laugh your ass off and have it kicked at the same time. Canadians ought to know. As the 41-year-old singer so aptly put it, ?I know Canada kicks ass because I?m from Canada? and I kick ass!?

SEBASTIAN BACH In 'Celebrity Fit Club: Boot Camp': Preview Clips, Supertrailer Available - Feb. 9, 2010

As America embarks on a New Year full of resolutions to lose weight and make tough life changes, VH1 celebrates the new decade with a fresh season of "Celebrity Fit Club: Boot Camp". This season boasts a cast full of pop culture personalities ready to bare their bodies and souls as they dig in for the most grueling fitness program on television ? designed to help them drop not only their flab, but also their emotional baggage. At the end of eight weeks, they will be lean, mean, "Fit Club" machines ready to face the world and show off their new hard bodies.

Battling the bulge this season are Sebastian Bach (former lead singer of SKID ROW), legendary R&B bad boy Bobby Brown, Jay McCarroll (winner of "Project Runway", Season 1), KayCee Stroh ("High School Musical"), dancer and choreographer Kevin Federline, former "Baywatch" babe Nicole Eggert, actress Shar Jackson ("Moesha"), and infamous "Bad Girl" Tanisha Thomas ("Bad Girls Club", Season 2). The cast will be broken into two teams, competing for $200,000 in cash and prizes and the individual celeb who drops the most weight will win $50,000 in prizes.

Driving the cast through the punishing and life-changing eight-week boot camp is "Celebrity Fit Club" veteran and U.S. Marine Corps Drill Instructor Harvey Walden IV (RET). Using Harvey's unique brand of "tough love," he will guide the celebs over walls, through the mud and past their own limitations as they realize their true potential for the first time. Also leading the cast through their journey is nutrition and diet expert, Dr. Ian Smith, who will change the way the celebs look at food and their eating habits. New to this season is life coach Rhonda Britten. Rhonda will spend one on one time with the celebs and help mentor them through the journey of shedding excess weight.

Eight weeks of mud, sweat and tears promise to deliver the most exciting and emotional season of "Celebrity Fit Club" yet. The challenges will be brutal, but in the end, the results will be amazing.

"Celebrity Fit Club: Boot Camp" is executive-produced by Jonas Larsen for ITV Studios. Jeff Olde, Jim Ackerman, Christian McLaughlin and Mike Riley are executive producers for VH1.

"Celebrity Fit Club: Boot Camp" premiered last night (Monday, February on VH1.
