Sebastian Bach talks about his friendship with Axl

[LIGuns]

Axl was going to sing on Baz's Kicking & Screaming?

On to another subject: these recent years, you have made multiple appearances during some Guns N? Roses concerts. Axl Rose sang on Angel Down and you did backing vocals on the Guns N? Roses song Sorry. What has drawn you together to the point of creating what looks like a strong friendship with Axl?


SB: I met Axl in 1989, when I was opening up for Aerosmith at the L.A. Farm. He came and sang a song with Steven Tyler, and he didn?t know the words, so I taught him the words right before he went on. We?ve been friends ever since. We?re extremely close, Axl is very close to me. I?ve known him for a long time. Nobody helps me in rock?n?roll more than him. He?s helped me out immensely. He brought Skid Row on tour back in ?92 or ?91, and then he brought my solo band on tour like three or four years in a row. That?s rare in this business. He could take any band out on tour with him, but he takes me out, and it?s really nice. As for me singing on his album, yes, I sang on Chinese Democracy, and then I asked him off-handedly: ?Hey dude, I sang on your record, when are you going to sing on mine?? He was like: ?Tell me when and where?, and I couldn?t believe it: ?What?! You?re really gonna sing on my record?!? He showed up at the studio and we had a great night, and he sang incredibly. He was going to sing on Kicking & Screaming too, he said : ?Baz, what?s the last day I can sing on this record?? I gave him a day, and that day came and went, so? (laughs) He didn?t make it this time, but maybe he could be on the next record. He?s a great singer, I love the sound of his voice.


RM: So, you think you will collaborate further with Axl in the future?


SB: We definitely will, sometime in the future. But he has his own schedule, to say the least. He has his own clock, he?s on Axl time! (Laughs) When we did the concerts, people asked me when Guns N? Roses would go on, and I would say: ?They?re going on Axl time!? (Laughs)

Personally, I don't mind not seeing Axl play on another Baz album.

They still need to record that Christmas song they always talked about recording together.

Who cares, did he find his pinball machine?  Somethings are just more important right now.

SEBASTIAN BACH On His Friendship With AXL ROSE: 'It's Basically A Text Relationship' - Sep. 3, 2011

On August 24, former SKID ROW singer Sebastian Bach was interviewed by Foster of the Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina radio station 96 Rock. Bach talked about kicking off the five-concert series in downtown Raleigh dubbed Bud Light CityFest on September 10; his friendship with GUNS N' ROSES frontman Axl Rose; and the summer of rock that was 1991. You can now listen to the chat using the audio player below.

When asked about his relationship with Axl Rose, Bach ? who recently moved to Los Angeles, the city the GUNS N' ROSES singer has called home since 1982 ? said, "[Axl] likes to text. He loves texting. It's basically a text relationship. We see each other quite a bit, but he's always firing up the texts. He was gonna sing on [the upcoming Bach CD] 'Kicking & Screaming'. He goes, 'Hey, Bas, what's the last day I can sing on your record?' And I gave him a date, and that day came and went. [Laughs] So maybe we'll get him on the next one. Who knows?!"

Bach's first solo album since 1999, "Angel Down" ? which came out in 2007 ? featured a guest appearance by Axl Rose on three cuts, including a blistering version of AEROSMITH's "Back In The Saddle".

Too bad they couldn't work that out -- I really would have liked to have heard the song.
