The "Sebastian Bach talks about Axl/GN'R" thread

[slash666]

I doubt he can beat the dirt.

No way he can.?

well it was GnR during UYI so you never know 

[chineseroses]

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

[Sober_times]

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.

[Dr. Blutarsky]

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

[SumbodyElse]

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!!

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.

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."

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

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

[Slash_N_Roses]

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?

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

[jbenzz]

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.
