The Sebastian Bach / Sebastian Bach Band thread

[FunkyMonkey]

Former SKID ROW frontman Sebastian Bach is currently selling a t-shirt on tour featuring artwork that may or may not turn out to be the cover of his upcoming solo album, "Angel Down".

To view the artwork in question: http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s50/sanicle1/CUfrontSM.jpg

Due later in the year via an as-yet-undisclosed label, Sebastian Bach's new album, "Angel Down", will be his first solo CD since 1999's "Bring 'Em Bach Alive", and first release since 2004's "Forever Wild" DVD. Bach's current touring band consists of guitarist "Metal" Mike Chlasciak (PAINMUSEUM, HALFORD), bassist Rob DeLuca (SPREAD EAGLE), drummer Jason West (NEUROTICA, PITBULL DAYCARE) and guitarist Johnny Chromatic.

Just thought I'd throw in these tidbits of info. from the recent Sydney 24th show...

Rose Tattoo's Angry Anderson on smelling something in the audience...
"Someone's smoking the hydroponic shit...Don't be smoking the hydroponic shit...it'll fry your fuckin' brain...I know you all don't like listening to your elders but I'm telling ya...I didn't get here smoking the hydroponic shit...the guys that sell you this stuff don't care about you...they only want your dough...Pay the extra couple of bucks and get the good shit..." Classic!

Sebastian Bach about to sing Threat...
"This is a song for all the guys fighting overseas in Irag so we can have a fuckin' rock concert tonight...you know I've got a 19yr old son...that's when I first got a paper shredder....they started sending him draft notices....(imitates feeding the papers through the shredder)...delete...delete...you're not getting my son George Bush you cocksucker...you can kiss my arse..." Love It! Then led a "No More War" chant...

If anyone has any audio/video of this stuff please share...

I'm keen to get myself some Rose Tattoo/Sebastian Bach/Skid Row (Sydney 1993 particularly) recordings...anyone know where I can look...any DC++ hubs?

wow,
sebastian bach is a really good guy . he must really love his son , lol shredding papers asking him to be a soldier..

The no more war chant was lame, especially doing it at several concerts. I watch the news and read the Jungle for that stuff.. I don't go to a rock show for that. In fact, I heard him say the same stuff between every song at 5 shows now. By Sydney I could word everything he said word for word between each song as he said it.

"you might have heard this on my myyyyyspace page... I cant believe I just said that" --> yes you can Baz, cos you said it at the last 5 shows.. one being over a year ago when you came here and the last, last night.. so yes.. u can believe u said that!

In Melbourne he said the last time he was here was in 1993 with Guns N' Roses --> No Baz, it was last year, you did a show here, remember?! Most of the crowd corrected you.. did you not hear?!

And the walk off before Youth Gone Wild was humourous. Sydney show 1 people kinda cheered for him to walk back, but Sydney show 2 some people booed.. a staged walk off doesn't work Baz when you stand by the stage looking at everyone with the light still on you.. yes we could see you!

Baz did put on a good show though musically, his voice was in fine form and I enjoyed the sets a lot, except for the last Sydney show.

From the bulk of the post it looks as though you didn't enjoy Baz's set at all on any night.

Please keep politics out of the set. "NO MORE WAR", real brilliant and original. GN'R were great in the 90's when the Gulf War was going on. Axl would make a statement prior to CIVIL WAR about supporting the troops no matter how you stood in regards to war. Thats all that is necassary we don't need artists bad mouthing hte president and giving their political views (ie Eddie Veddar). Just shuck up N' sing!!!!!!

[stolat]

Or, you can take the 'no more war' chant in a more positive way and see it as a chant for peace. I'm sure that the soldiers on the front would appreciate that sentiment too.

What's making Anderson angry?

ANGRY Anderson has a heavy cold - the result, he explains, of staying up "too many nights until 6am" with Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose.

That's all the article says about Axl

The difference between Sabastian Bach saying it and Eddie Vedder saying it, is that when Vedder speaks, people actually listen.

You have to take all that gunnerdownunder said with a bit of tongue-in-cheek, because while Baz was enjoyable, it's just hard to take what he says seriously when it's repeated almost line for line every night.

I attended two Sydney shows as well as his solo gig last year too, and the guys says exactly the same thing between songs.

[guns_n_motley]

well, alot of bands/singers have the same stock stage raps. If you go to 3-5 shows you should sort of expect to see the same show over and over

No doubt. It was still humerous though, especially the myspace bit where he said "I can't believe I just said that". Well, considering you said that at yor concert last year as well as every other gig, we can believe you did.

I was more having a laugh about it.. it's funny. I actually very much enjoyed Baz's shows. I went to see him do his own gig here at a small club last year. His sets were excellent and especially in Brisbane and Sydney, he sang brilliantly and rocked hard on stage. He is just such a tool (in an amusing way) and so cheesy, it's funny.. I think the crowd kinda laughs at him and with him.. especially his fake walk off.. I just read a review on page 1 of 2 of this thread from like 2003 and 2004 and he was doing the same between song stuff back then  I love the guy tho.. he's brilliant and I caught each of his shows during the 4 GNR gigs I went to.

[stolat]

Yeh, he's an outrageous performer. 

[Pinball Wizard]

I love Sebastian Bach, but I gotta say that he can be a pain in the ass with his same chants in every show...I'm listening to the show he did in Sydney in 23rd of July that estebanf posted here earlier(THANKS SO FUCKING MUCH FOR THAT!!!!) and before "American metalhead" he says that they are "going to change the words to Australian Metalhead", and he said that in Brazil in 2005 as "Brazilian metalhead" and I'm sure he did that in every fucking show he did since then, no matter if it was in Japan, China, Mexico, Mars...

But still, he's THE GREATEST GUY IN THE WHOLE FUCKING WORLD!!!!

Fucking A, finally!

[Dr. Blutarsky]

I heard the new stuff when I saw him open for GNR last year. It really showed his growth as an artist and also that he still has the huge vocal range he had with Skid Row back in the day.
