He does a very good job. It would be foolish to say otherwise. Bach was the greatest and I wish he could pull it off, but this guy does a really good job.
Seeing Bach with Skid Row would be really cool due to the history/legacy. But Erik Grönwall is doing great and I think he definly rocks the new stuff but also he can sing the old stuff even better than Sebastian would sing today if he still were in the band...
He sang exactly like this in his former band H.E.A.T, it's just the way he sings. It can be done because Erik is doing it, Sebastian sadly can't anymore.
Bach was like the girl in HS that peaked at 18. After that he was the freshman college ho that gained 50 and went downhill ever after. Plus his attitude sucked to this day. Bach was a hired singer and had no musical influence. I remember when he was part of the tryouts in NJ back in the late 80s. Yes he WAS great but just like any narcissist AH, they are swept up in the tide and band members and fans move on.
He doesn't...He has his own style here as he did in H.E.A.T. for the last 13 years. Hell Erik has a cover of freaking CHOP SUEY on his youtube channel and kills it.
As much as I would love to see Sebastian back in 1989 form with the band Erik is insanely great. Vocals may actually be technically even better than Sebastian in his hay day. Dude works the stage well but that definitely is a drop off from Sebastian (even today), but damn Erik is great.
I'm not a Big Fan of Eric Gronwall,I could Actually do a Better Job,and on Top of that I could do just as Good as Sabastian,and my Family has a Connection to Sabastian, Sabastian has Relatives named Moen,and I have Relatives named Goen's and Baugh or Bach!
