Sebastian Bach Gets Text From Guns N' Roses 'We Want You To Play With Us'

[Bruno Poeys]

Baz puts on a fkn' great show. We surely loved to see him opening for Guns last year.

[Axlspants]

Saw Baz open for GnR last October in Manchester and the guy was on fire, he was fucking amazing and I would love to see him again

[FunkyMonkey]

Say what you want about Baz, but he sure knows how to warm up the crowd.

That's what the opening act is supposed to do.

You can always have a "relevant" band, but then you might also have a crowd sitting down and taking bathroom breaks...

That's it right there.  Plus there seems to be a lot of Guns N' Roses fans that are fans of Sebastian as well.  Still waiting for dates.

[Brundle25]

Plus it means Nick Stirling is around to stand in, just incase guns have an emergency

That would take Baz out of the mix for the Hartford show on 11/19.

This has been played out.  Love ya , Baz, but I wish it was someone else opening.

Sebastian was interviewed recently by George Stroumboulopoulos.  He says he got the text from Beta asking him if he wanted to play some shows with GN'R, nothing is confirmed, but he adds every time he's gotten one of those texts it's happened.

He talks about this and Axl @ 18:15 on the video:

Sebastian Bach is a great singer but I've got to be honest I'm not happy with his latest album, having said that, can't think of a better opener for Guns N Roses then this man - certainly he blew me away when he opened for GNR at Wembley in 2006

[johnreed3344]

would not be surprised is Baz plays the 2 jersey shows, being he is from here and doesnt have solo dates set those nights

From Sebastian:

Bach: 'Axl one of a kind'

October 9, 2011

Sebastian Bach has a handful of U.S. headlining dates booked before the holidays but with his sometime performing partner Axl Rose going out with Guns 'N Roses again, maybe he'll end up on stage with him too.

"I would play with Guns 'N Roses anytime," Bach told QMI Agency. "And Axl is one of a kind. I was too young to ever see The Doors but when I see old footage of Jim Morrison on stage, Axl has that kind of danger thing going on when he steps up to the mic. He's pretty fascinating."

The two met back in 1989 when Skid Row was opening for Aerosmith at the L.A. Forum. "Axl came down to do the song Train Kept A Rollin' with Steven Tyler and he didn't know the words, and he came to my dressing room and he goes, 'Do you know the words to this?' and I go, 'Yes, I do!' So I sat down there with him. That was a crazy night."

I LOVE BAZ !! but not too many shows ok !!!

i feel bad for me,  .....nahhhhhhh  what ever ...... CMON BAZ ....ROCK THE FUCKING STAGE  !!!!! EVERYTIME YOU WANT WITH GUNS   

[Barney Fife]

jesus christ can't axl find someone a little more relevant in modern music to open for him?  i get that he's friends with baz but really, enough is enough.

Say what you want about Baz, but he sure knows how to warm up the crowd.

That's what the opening act is supposed to do.

Very true. The Cleveland show was an example of what an opening act is supposed to do.
When Baz came out, the crowd was very in to his show, but when the Eagles of Death Metal came out, not so much to put it nicely.

[Axl4Prez2004]

I will be happy as hell to have Sebastian Bach open for GNR in Camden, NJ on Nov. 26.

I bet u Baz would b happier then you??? lol. But to the topic,  i would rather hav a diff opener, but i dont mind having Baz. The possibilty of him joining Axl on Sorry makes it kinda cool... I really dont care for Buckcherry...

[FunkyMonkey]

Sebastian was interviewed by New Zealand's therocknet.nz radio prior to his album's release.  He's asked...

The Rock: He seems to get a lot of flack in the media doesn't he Axl Rose? How does that affect him, is he pretty good at ignoring all that?

Sebastian Bach: He doesn't care, I mean, he's just not into being famous -- cause he's already more famous than you could ever be. He's just into doing his concerts and making his music.  I really don't think he's too concerned with the media at this point (laughs).

From an interview with Sebastian:

October 17th, 2011

Do you think we will see you popping up on stage with Guns N' Roses on their upcoming North American tour dates?

Sebastian Bach: I hope so! I have been texting Axl and I really hope we can do some shows together!

STAY THIRSTY: You know Guns n? Roses play the same week that you do in New York, so I hope Axl is with you!

Sebastian Bach: I would love that! I would like to open for them. I?ve been texting him lately just the last couple of days, maybe we?ll do some shows with them.

STAY THIRSTY: You?ve really maintained a close friendship with Axl throughout the years. Can you talk about that a little bit?

Sebastian Bach: Yeah, you know I always wondered why he?s so nice to me, like what does that say about me? (Laughs) But he?s great guy. He?s helped me out so much in my career. He sang on Angel Down and I sang on Chinese Democracy. And he just helps me out and I?m here for him. He?s a great friend.
