I got some requests to compare the vocals of Sebastian Bach vs. Erik Grönwall in Skid Row. It turns out to be a battle in many ways. Watch to see who YOU think is the best fit for the band!
Skid Row - Sebastian Bach vs. Erik Grönwall - Vocal Showdown - Who Did It Better? Ken Tamplin
I have received many requests on what my take is on the new singer for Skid Row.
As many people may or may not know, Skid Row has had quite a few singers in the band over many years, and believe it or not, Sebastian Bach is not the original singer.
But instead of focusing on all of the singers, I thought it would be best to stay with the request which was Sebastian Bach vs. Erik Grönwall.
Since Erik is relatively new in the band, I don't think it's fair to judge him so prematurely.
But I do think it's OK to enjoy taking a look at both vocalists' strong points and evaluate their strengths (and weaknesses) positively.
So I put together a montage of each one of them for evaluation with some of Skid Row's greatest hits to take a look at their performances back-to-back in hopes to do a blindfold test. So on the one hand, let's not judge based on nostalgia, or on the other hand, let's not be given only to the enchantments of something shiny and new.
Let's enjoy both singers together, shall we?

Young Sebastian with his size and range and power is almost impossible to match. Not to mention his charisma and craziness. He was the quintessential rock god.

@debrahigh7968 2 года назад

@groundcontrol5365 2 года назад

Ya Sebastian has way more charisma. Its not even close. Sebastian is one of the greatest frontmen ever. He's a beast in vocals and in stage presence. Like zero insecurities. Almost all these other front men were on drugs and masking insecuritues. Even Chris Cornell had mad anxiety. Sebastian was an alpha frontman. Just chill and sure of himself in everything he did. Eric is very feminine and although he hits all the notes it like he is afraid to be a little off in the name of style. I never got to see Robert Plant but Sebastian seems similar to me. Sebastian is just more masculine and less sentimental than almost any other great singer which tend to be feminine guys. The only other guy I have seen like Sebastain was the Edwin the lead singer of Eye Mother Earth.

The first two skid row row albums are basically flawless. Bach is untouchable. A rock god amongst rock gods. Different era all together.

@BlackstoneValleyRealEstate Год назад

I just saw Skid Row 2 days ago. The were one of my absolute favorites when they first came out! I saw them open for Bob Jovi 9 times in one year!!! I LOVE Sebastian and DID NOT want it like Eric, but he nailed it! Loved him!! My test is “In a Darkened Room”…. And he passed it with flying colors! As far as the energy, it’s the crowd not the band. I was seeing original Skid Row in my 20s! At this last show Rachel asked the crowd their age… who’s in their 20’s, 30’s, over 40. Well the vast majority was over 40…..I’m old enough to be Eric’s mother!!! I still love these shows and I’m on my feet singing along, but nothing like the crazy jumping around of 35 years ago!! Sebastian CAN NOT be replaced, and I’ve seen skid Row with 4 other lead singers. I liked ZP but the others were not at all a good fit. Eric is the real deal and I think is shows in the live performance and their new album. I think he could really revitalize the band.

@jamesfreymuth1897 2 года назад

The biggest variable here is the fact that Sebastian in those clips is relying solely on floor monitors. In-ear monitors weren't even really a thing back then. I'm quite certain that Erik is running in-ears. That makes a HUGE difference. As a singer, I can tell you that the ease with which you can hear yourself makes ALL the difference.

@jubs1533 2 года назад

Erik was fiddling with his in-ear monitors throughout the gig in Cardiff last night, so that's definitely the case.

@johnwelch6277 Год назад

That was one of my thoughts also James, I was surprised that Ken didn't point out that aspect.

@GordOlson Год назад

I was about to make the same comment. IEM's are a complete game-changer for a singer. if Seb had them back in the day he would have been on point a lot more, for sure.

@dodjiegarcia2320 Год назад

Not to mention the soundguy does not worry about feedback if everyone does IEMs onstage. Or at least you do not need to crank up vocals in the monitor mix in the wedges, which before made it prone to feedback. Rock is not easy to mix onstage especially with those half-stacks and sidefills. And once the singer asks for more vocals in the mix, and cannot give it, the tendency is to be a lot throatier. But then, IEM can change someone's style of singing.

@golgicomplex1179 Год назад

Just watched the whole video, great stuff. Just to take in consideration, the first videos of Erik is one of his first shows in over two years after beating cancer. There are interviews where he speaks about how the shorter set list was better for him to get his energy back. I also think that the band would be in mismatch if Erik went all over the place, the other guys are more chill today then before. If you check his stage presence in his old band HEAT you will see a different Erik. They both have their own personalities and both are great.

A well known person gets to talk for 90 minutes, mixed with the persons favorite music. Therefor, I just wanted to add that Erik got the question to join the band almost immediately after his final treatment for the blood cancer. He had only a month to get in shape for his first shows with the band. The first days of preparing, he could barely sing through one song without beeing totally exhausted. I don't know from what time the clips you use are from, but maybe what I say here can shed some light on your nice comparison. However, this is not a critique. I only wanted to share this with you. Thanks a lot!

I'm happy to see a few people explaining that Erik was still recovering from Leukemia treatment and was probably needing to pace himself . I know even this past fall Skid Row postponed some of their tour to allow him more time to recover as touring was taking a toll on his health and he recently stepped away from the band to prioritize his health in a way he could not do in a touring band. I love Baz but also think Erik had done an amazing job as a singer with Skid Row and the album he did with them is great.

I agree totally with this comment. Erik when he performs tries to get too much crowd participation all of the time rather than just singing. He's always saying " yeah" and "come on everybody clap your hands" type thing like you'd see in a cover band so it kind of comes off that way or like he's doing Skid Row karaoke. Bach in his youthful prime was up there with Axl Rose for great frontmen. I could see him being difficult to deal with though on the road as middle aged adults. A little of his personality goes a long way so I understand why they never reformed the original lineup even if it would have meant a bigger payday. That said I'd definitely pay to see them reunited with Bach but just feel kind of meh about it with Gronwall despite being a good singer. It seems like the guys are happy with him though so I'm glad for them. But they've had so many singers now though it's getting into Spinal Tap esque joke territory.

Sebastian Bach is the Ace of Skidrow,his voice and style put Skidrow on the Map. Touring plays a uge toll on all band mates especially the Lead Singer.A guitar player can change the strings or switch guitars,a drummer can replace the drum sticks or drums,But the singers voice box,lungs ect need good rest and recovery. 🙂❤️

@jseanperry Год назад

In his prime, Sebastian Bach was vocally elite and in my opinion he could have fronted pretty much any other popular rock band in the 80's and still would have crushed it. The new guy is putting in the work, admirably, but he is not in the same realm as prime Sebastian Bach. That doesn't mean he's a bad singer or weak performer, it's just reality.

Erik sounded damn good. He was more in line with staying in key and pitch. Both are great vocalists

@jwalton5425 2 года назад

Erik's pitch is tight, but SB's vibrato is more expressive....in particular on "O" (....life to GOoOOoO). Erik tends to utilize vibrato on the "E" lyrics. The emotional conveyance of this song originally achieved by SB is what makes it so special IMO...and without that Erik's rendition would be of lesser value. Also...SB's signature cry has such distinctive texture....it's like he's able to produce multiple chords simultaneously....what is going on?

I remember exactly where I was on my college campus when I heard the Skid Row for the first time, I immediately bought the CD,Bas was and still is a mind blowing showman and singer, his passion is incredible, his love for rock is incredible. His voice brings tears to my eyes, as he is part of the soundtrack of the best days of my life 🎸 I just can’t even allow myself to go there for comparison. Erik can sing, and he is good, but Bas is King 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

Thanks to Sebastian and skid Row.they got me happy and brought me hope whose life was very poor.fortunatelly full of happy ness.

You're so lucky! I always think that Sebastian's vocal quality was shown at its best in Wasted Time. That song is so hard to sing. He totally owned it.

@michaelturner295 11 месяцев назад

Here's how I see it.... Erik had to come in and duplicate an iconic voice. He does it, and he does it so well. I am Sebastian's age, so "I Remember You (Sebastian)", and neither of us are who we were in the 80's. I saw Winger/Warrant/Skid Row last year (2022) in Dayton, OH where I live. I was so impressed with Erik, he sounded soooo good. So much so, that I went back and saw Skid Row again this year. Erik is a professional, lots of energy and no sign of intoxication. The new album is excellent (that's right, new). Personally, I think "Time Bomb" should be on all the rock stations that keep playing the same music year after year. Of course I love Sebastian's (young) voice, but he doesn't have it anymore. New music is bringing in young listeners and keeping Rachel, Snake, and the band motivated. I think with Erik, they still have lots of new music ahead. If Sebastian wasn't running around trashing Erik like he is, maybe I would feel differently. Go see Skid Row if you get the opportunity. They still sound awesome....thanks to Erik.

I think one aspect has been overlooked. As far as energy, a singer feels the crowds energy and get an extra boost by a crazy crowd. Sebastian got to feel his crowds energy and that fired him up even more. Sebastian's crowd was teens and 20 something's full of piss and beer. Erik is singing to the same crowd 30 years later. So he is singing to a crowd of 50 somethings that just had dinner before the show and wore sensible shoes. Total different energy

@Wirolain 2 года назад

I'd like to disagree with that statement. Sure, there probably werent that much old people in the 80's listening to metal, as there are these days. But you can bet your ass off that this music is not just for youth of that era. I was 5 years old when Sebastian left Skid Row, and I'd bang my head off in a concert.

@codacreator6162 Год назад

I think you underestimate the power of music to transport us back to our youth. I was 18 in 1983. I lived through the best of rock/metal and virtually ALL we did was wrapped around music. I don’t have the time or resources (tickets are insane today) to see as many shows these days, but when I do I’d match my energy against that of a hoard of booger-eaters any day. My shoes got nothin’ to do with it. 🤘😎🤘

That’s such a genius and true observation/comment! 👏🏻 I‘ve seen him and the band last Saturday and I couldn’t believe how perfect it was. I had seen RU-vid videos beforehand and as good Erik sings in all of them… what happened here last Saturday night was a completely different animal. And when I read your comment it all makes sense: The crowd here was younger than the usual Skid Row crowd nowadays. That’s because it was a Festival. Skid Row were Headliners but the audience was mostly just young rock enthusiasts that came out for the whole festival. The mood was already heated up when Skid Row entered the stage… but man they blew the roof off! Awesome, awesome, awesome! The audience went nuts and the band just mirrored and further pushed it. That I could experience this again - after having seen Skid Row with Sebastian Bach at their peak - I won‘t forget last weekend! Thanks to the crowd who enabled the band and Erik to push it over all limits! 🙏🏻

When Sebastian sings, I truly feel it..Even when Erik sings it's great but I just don't feel it. It's like Sebastian is actually thinking about someone, and when Erik sings it's like he's only thinking about his pitch. I absolutely love Eric Clapton. He's awesome. plays perfect and is a great singer, but I don't feel it. I feel it when JJ Cale does the songs he wrote, and although Eric Clapton had huge hits and is well known for them. I prefer JJ Cale on those tunes because I actually feel it. Does that make any sense Ken? Do you feel it more when Sebastian sings?

It's the emotion the original singers convey that it's difficult for a replacement singer to replicate.

@MommaTalcott Год назад

I don’t think the energy of a young band and young crowd can be compared to an older band with an older crowd! Yes we are still passionate about our music in our 50s but it’s still different. Sebastian is a crazy animal, still is. He never grew up. 😆 He can still sing amazing too! Which says something for his range and age after all these years. Having said all of that. I absolutely love Erik! His vocal range and energy are fantastic and maybe not really the best fit for an older band. I saw him on MORC in H.E.A.T. and he was unbelievable, crowd surfed and ended up in one of the hot tubs across the top deck Swinging from the chandeliers practically so that’s why I feel the comparison isn’t accurate. Plus, he’s still getting stronger after recovering from cancer. 🤘🏻

@jokinjimmy3987 2 года назад

Great video! But let’s be real on a few of these comparisons: - Sebastian in his early 20s vs Erik mid 30s. This 15 year age difference has a huge impact on vocal strength and stamina. Yet Erik still sounds stronger. Baz is more emotion, but extremely pitchy and all over the place at times. - Sebastian singing as the original lead singer vs Erik filling shoes. Who do you think would have more passion? This comes across in the energy of not just Baz, but the entire band. - Sebastian singing in front of 10,000+ fans vs Erik singing in front of a couple thousand. The band feeds off the energy of the crowd. Baz has the advantage. And you wonder why it sounds ‘clubby’? You’re affected by what you see - a bigger crowd, better lights, younger band members. - Sebastian singing with other bandmates his age (early 20s) vs Erik singing with guys hovering around 60 (old enough to be his father and uncles). Don’t you think this also plays an impact on Erik’s performance vs Baz’s? One final comparison: Sebastian’s height, long hair, shirtless body and pretty boy looks also give him an advantage as this may be considered the ideal “rockstar” look. This is an image comparison that has nothing to do with their vocal abilities. Sebastian will always the “the singer” of Skid Row, but Erik is doing a fine job filling in his shoes. In fact, I can’t imagine anyone doing it better. Erik, IMO, is a better fit with his first band, HEAT. As awesome as Skid Row’s first 2 album were, I prefer HEAT’s albums with Erik. As a whole, the songwriting, performances, and productions are all superior in my opinion.

@buttercup11 2 года назад

I see your point of their age gap. In Sebastian’s mid 30 was his Broadway era. I saw his Jesus Christ Superstar 3 times and his pitching was so much better than his 20’s. So, what I wanna point out is, this benefits and de benefits both ways. Erik doesn’t have the Rockstar power to shake the house in 30’s compared to Baz in 20’s. Also Baz in 20’s didn’t have good pitching skills compared to Erik in 30’s.

@ClickToPreview 2 года назад

Yeah, I mean I thought this was a VOCAL showdown, but Ken definitely comments outside of those parameters. Even so, *I'm* doing the vocal showdown in my head without additional comments on passion, looks, and the size of the crowd, and it's just no comparison. Bach's vocal warmth, vibrato, attack, etc. is just superior singing. I could care less about pitch between the two, because it's the overall vocal PERFORMANCE that really matters, and Bach has it in spades.

I had to go watch a video of Sebastian performing I Remember You in 2022 after you mentioned the energy difference between Sebastian and Erik. I have to say Sebastian still has more energy performing the song. That surprised me since Sebastian has been performing the song for over 30 years. Sebastian connects with the song and the feeling comes through. Erik sings the song really well, but he does not have as much feeling or it doesn't come through in his performance. Erik is singing closer to the album version while Sebastian is improvising.

I just discovered him 3 days ago and have been watching his videos. I think he is matching the band, the stage effects ( lights only... No pyrotechnics??), and the crowds energy. He might be feeling his way around through it all and his passion is placed differently than the original band. I read an above comment saying that they saw Erik recently and that he has evolved. I don't doubt it! I think the video critique was right on.

Erik literally belts 90% of the time, and he can still do the same notes Bah did in the studio version live. The bias of the comments is really crazy, give some respect to a guy that can do Quicksand Jesus and Wasted Time perfectly live. Plus he even sings in the soprano range as well. Bach is crazy good, but Erik is also good, they are differently placed, you shouldn't shit on Erik just because he took Bach's place.

@Eddie_King_Jr Год назад

Sebastian Bach is the greatest hard rock singer ofall time. His voice is almost perfect on every Skid album. I Remember You is the best vocal performance ever recorded, in my opinion. Nothing taken away from Erik. It's just that Bach's recordings are masterpieces. To speak more to your comments, I was just telling my daughter the other day that the reason Bach is such a legend is that he made the MOST difficult decision when singing, almost ALWAYS. Yes, live sometimes that won't translate, but it is like playing Eddie or Steve Vai twenty years later after the innovation and critiquing. I agree those risks are what made him special.

As a singer in my hard rock band, I agree with a lot of things that you have said and I feel it’s spot on. My opinion is as much as Erik is a great singer with a lot of range, he doesn’t have the same charisma, energy and intensity that I feel is needed in this genre. I have said this before too about the other SR members now, they lack energy and it kinda feels like they are just going through the motions. As much as it’s great to hit all the notes and be spot on in your pitch I feel intensity, passion and are so important particularly in this genre and also with Sebastian I believed every word as if he wrote the song himself so for me Sebastian was the full package.

@braddsn 2 года назад

2 things that I have been thinking about since I first heard Erik. 1. There is a huge difference between what it takes to CREATE these huge vocal parts for massive hit songs... vs. what it takes to come back later and essentially cover them.. (same with Arnel Pineda and Journey). So you have to give props (which you certainly did) to the creators... they started with NOTHING and created this magic. And 2. Erik is KILLING it! He is filling HUGE shoes, and in my opinion, this is the first time Skid Row has sounded like Skid Row since Bas left. Erik is one extremely talented dude (like Arnel Pineda), and absolutely brings it. One of the possibilities in the "club like" energy that Erik is experiencing, is that most Skid fans are my age (I am 47). A little older crowd is obviously not going to have the energy that you are seeing from the crowds in the videos from 30 years ago.. I know I don't still have the same energy as I did when I was 17!!! LOL. Great video Ken... I enjoyed it and appreciate the time you invested.

@itsalwayssomething7490 Год назад

It really is a choice of whether you want to hear Skid Row with vocals the way it sounds on the record, or have Sebastian fronting the band with much less quality in the vocals. I think most fans would sacrifice vocal performance to have Bach in the band again. Sebastian is the sound of SR, the same way Axl is the sound of GnR, or Vince is the sound of Motley Crue. They all lost vocal ability, but fans would take lesser vocals to have the singer with the sound in the band, over someone singing it better. Corabi was much better than Vince, but they didn't sound like Motley Crue with him. But, it comes down to what makes the band happy, and Sebastian is too much of a firecracker for those guys. Yes, it is what makes him a rockstar, but the guy hasn't changed much as an older guy. The band gladly sacrifices the success they'd have with Bach for a guy that can not only sings all the notes with conviction (can sound like Bach) but doesn't create a negative vibe or drama for the band. Had they just dealt with Bach, they'd be doing it purely for money and you'd be able to tell in their performance. With Erik, they are all smiles on stage, knowing the guy is nailing the vocals, and not having to deal with Bach. There is a renewed energy with Erik and he can draw in a younger fan base. If Bach was back in the band, they would have kicked him out again, by now. Fans would rebel and people would lose interest in the band again, like after Bach was gone. It's been long enough that many fans can just appreciate what Erik brings. His vocals on the new album is great and the band sounds like Skid Row.

Eric really needs to stop doing the weird chicken neck thing idk if he's trying to head bang or what but it looks goofy ..as for singing..it's nothing more then a karaoke sound to me ..... Sebastian stomps him in every aspect

Sebastian is not just kind of hard rock singer, he is the heavy metal vocalist.

@@tinawillits8223 you obviously didn't listen to one second of Ken's assessment. Bas can't carry Erik's jock. Bachs voice started heading for the door in the 90's. Look at some of the other video recordings Erik has done. He can sing things Bas never could. Take off the blinders....

Solinger really grew on me but he was never a BACH imitator. Erik is definitely trying to hit the Studio Sound and is edging closer and closer with each live performance. I’ve seen Bach solo many times and each time I come away disliking him more. I cut him slack on his vocals because he isn’t 20 anymore but just his stage presence and ego (criticizing the crowd for wanting to hear Skid Row stuff over his new stuff for example) just comes off as unappreciative.

@@tinawillits8223 Well, that's his stage presence and it won't stop so there's that lol. Seb didn't sound good live a lot of the time, especially with the higher notes, but he does have the rock star presence over Erik for sure.

Different decades. Im sure it was easier to have a genuine connection with the public back then. Now people sit with their noses in their mobile phones and film instead of experiencing the present. Erik is a damn good singer, he can sing anything. Just listen to his RU-vid chanel. Just saying...

For me as a former vocalist in a band It is hard to sing a song like covering a song Like what he did of Erik... But as we know Sebastian Bach is a great singer and have a good voice and For me original is original.... And Erik is a good vocalist also And have a good voice But Sebastian Bach is more powerfull voice 🙂🤟

Eric is such a talented singer, I love his time on H.E.A.T. and I'm happy to hear him singing on Skid Row

Erik is excellent. I was closing my eyes and almost couldn't tell between Sebastián and him.

Erik is recovering from Leukemia. His energy and zest for life was evident at M3 (I’m the blonde near Rachel side stage). Give him a bit more time. He will continue to tear it up! Phenomenal singer! 🤘
