To this day, Bach singing "that child blew a child away" gives me chills.

I'm 62 and I love rock n roll, always have always will.

Absolutely dig Skid Row. Sebastian’s range and vocal strength is unreal. He’s hilarious in interview too. He and Milli of Steelheart raise the bar. You guys rock Burch and Alexis.

Hard to beat that 80s guitar sound

I remember Layla by Derik and the Dominos. 6 people in a chevy Corvair, going around a mountain corner too fast. We hit gravel, flew off the side of the mountain, flipped at least 3 times in the air and cleared a barbwire fence, hit a tree and landed in a small creek wheels down, and the transmission broke and the motor is still running, and that song was blasting. I get chills every time i hear that song, 45 years later.

Youth Gone Wild by Skid Row! 😎🔥🤘🎸

My favorite reaction channel! Burch....you and I are kindred spirits in rock and roll.

Forever by Skid Row! 😎🔥🤘🎸

I saw Skid Row at Wembley Stadium supporting Guns n Roses 31/8/91 and ohhhh boy can Sebastian Bach sing live! His voice filled that massive football stadium filled with 81000 of us screaming nutters like it was a little rock club. They were BRILLIANT that day and if anyone wants to see it the Skid Row set is on YT somewhere. PLEASE check out Monkey Business and/or Slave To The Grind from their second album where they absolutely shifted up a gear or three and rocked HARD!

I remember the first time I heard 'Smokin' in the Boys Room' by Motley Crue, I was maybe 13... on summer vacation at my grandparents house. I was bored to death and just listening to an old transistor radio and bang.... this song came on. Never heard anything like it before and just like that... I was immediately inducted into the Rock N Roll fan club and forever corrupted 😂. Hey Burch... I learned to drive and got my first license driving my parents blue Aries K car. I remember the blue paint would rub right off and onto your hands... and it was a brand new car. Yes, it was a crappy car but that didnt matter at the time.

I love that she's impressed with Sabastian, enough so that it sticks out more than any others. This came out when I was 17. Skid Row hit it huge as soon as they came out. Me and all my head bangin buddies had this tape. Great reaction! I remember where I was on many different songs: November Rain at my brother's apt. Stairway To Heaven in my brother's car. Cum On Feel the Noise by Quiet Riot in the street at my neighbor's house. Alone by Heart in my basement, Welcome To The Jungle in my living room watching MTV. Keep On Loving You at the skating rink. I could prob think of several more if took more time to think about it.

I have Several Songs that HIT me as soon as I hear them,,,Usually take me back to the late 70s through mid 80s. Heaven and Hell, Running With the Devil, Beth.....Just to name a few.

I remember the exact moment that I heard and saw the video for Photograph, Def Leppard for the first time.

I Remember You by Skid Row! 😎🔥🤘🎸

When I was 11 yrs old I lost a friend in similar fashion. I'm Burch's age so this was 1981. We went to school together for 5 years but going to 5th grade we left and went to separate schools. My friend was hanging out with some older kids of ill repute. They were in the attic messing with a gun and the story was they were grabbing for the gun and it went off. Many believed the actual story was similar to this video. Something I'll never forget.

Great song by a great band!!!

Given that it wasn’t aggravated, and charged as accidental, Ricky was released in 2020 for good behavior. He’s now a pool installer and maintainer in SoCal.

One of Skid Rows great power ballads, along with Wasted Time, I Remember You, Quicksand Jesus, and In a Darkened Room. Not the song, but I do remember where I was when I first saw the premier of the music video of Metallica's One.

My favorite from High school!! Still holds up!!

I know exactly where I was when I first heard this song. It was April 10, 1989, Wichita, KS, the Kansas Coliseum, about 10 feet from the stage. I had no idea who Skid Row was going into the night. Turned out once I heard them playing that I had heard one of their songs, "I Remember You" on the radio a few times but had no idea who sang it. Withing 30 seconds of Sebastian unleashing his voice on an unsuspecting crowd, I knew I was going to the record store the next afternoon. (I sure miss those record stores.) My sister was also at the show, and she tagged along with me to the store the next day, but she headed for the Sebastian Bach poster, while I got the album. Their first two albums are still amongst my favorites of all time. And they are tied with Damn Yankees for the best opening acts I've seen in the 60-70 concerts I've been to. And both bands are in my top five for best sounding live performance.

Funny how certain songs or albums can bring back a flood of memories I Still remember the first time I heard the album destroyer by KISS, I was nine years old (1977) and my brother wanted to talk to my parents. (We were visiting him. He’s 12 years older.) he put the headphones on me and from the opening to Detroit rock city, and looking at the image of the destroyer cover I was blown away! Been in the KISS Army since 🤘😈

Grade 11, Highschool Video Dance. The Video Jockey started playing "Smells like Teen Spirit". My friend group and I went Silent. We were the Hair Metal kids at the time lol. Remember it like it was yesterday. Changed my Musical life.

Y’all got me thinking… the most vivid memory of me hearing a song (or in this case an entire album) brings me back to November of 1988. I got my drivers license in September, bought my first car in October then bought this cassette in November from the record store on a whim, never having heard this band before in my life. I just remembered seeing this tape and loving the album artwork for months prior. I remember ripping off the cellophane and popping the tape in my player in the parking lot of Long Ridge Mall then hearing Revolution Calling leading into Operation Mindcrime while cruising down Ridge Road. Mind. Absolutely. Blown.

I remember the first time I heard 45 by Shinedown. I was 20 on a job site and we got rain delayed and I came across the radio. I never heard a voice like Brent Smith. Had the resonance of grung but with a soul. I was hooked

Like you Burch, I remember exactly where I was when I heard this song. At the time, I was stationed at Wildflecken, Germany. I was an MP in the Army. A Staff Sergeant in our unit had shot his wife (she survived) and then shot himself in the stomach. He was sent to the Army hospital in Frankfurt, GE. A few of the MPs in our unit were sent up there to guard him as there is not really a secure ward at the hospital. During my off hours, I'd look around for some great places to eat. The owner of the guest house where we're staying mentioned this Italian place, as he was Italian himself, just down the street. He recommended their lasagna - which to this day is the standard by which I measure any lasagna dish, it was that good. Anyway, this place had a dance floor and TVs mounted up in the walls. It was kind of weird to me. But apparently in the evenings and weekends people would come in and order pizza or whatever, have some drinks and dance. Like I said I ordered lasagna. They happened to have the European version of MTV going at the time which was cool. I'd never seen it the entire time I'd been there and had been there almost three years by this point. So, Skid Row's "Eighteen and Life" comes on. As a musician myself and still a very young man I knew how good this song was. I would later go on to buy that album, of course. So yeah, I took recall where I was when I first heard this.

I remember exactly where I was when Queen we will rock you came on the radio. I’m 62 and remember standing in my mom’s kitchen. Been a queen fan ever since.

Youth Gone Wild was like that for me..that debut was a game changer for me...poor ole' ricky wouldnt have had a cell phone,lol

This song made me a Skid Row fan, despite all my best judgement back in the day. Still a fan today. All these years later, it's the songwriting and musicianship that still impress me. Oh, I remember when The Eagles "Hotel California" dropped for the first time on my local radio. Blown away.

Skid Row were BIG. I remember when they were opening for Bon Jovi on the "Slippery When Wet" tour in '86-87, and nobody at my high school was talking about Bon Jovi when the tour came to town (Houston), but everyone was raving about Skid Row.

For me it was "You give love a bad Name" by Bon Jovi. I was 11 in 1986 hanging outside with the neighborhood kids. Someone with a walkman had the radio on. We all sat close to hear his headphones. The station had just finished playing "Somewhere Out There" (a song on animated movie American Tail) and then that lyric kicked in "Shot through the heart and you're too blame" and we were laughing and all into it. =)

if you go check out an interview with the Professor of Rock, Sabo states that the original inspiration was his brother Rick's life after coming home from Vietnam. The writing process eventually led the song to being about an accidental murder.

I was at work in the middle of my shift when this song came on the radio. Right away I was like who the hell is this. I was blown away. Still am...lol

Lzzy Hale from Halestorm is now singing for Skidrow I’ve recently heard. Y’all should check out Halestorm !!!!!!!!!

I was at my sister and brother in laws house, and I was 15. My brother-in-law had just bought Rory Gallaghers lp at GROCERY STORE and as soon as we put it, we were in awe. Laundromat was the song that did it for me. I have been a huge fan since. God rest his wonderful soul. Not Surprised hit me as well. What caught me with this band is Sabastion Bach's vocals. One of the best singers ever. I loved this band.

I was watching General Hospital, it was the summer of 1980 and I saw a commercial for Rick Springfield singing "Jessie's Girl" I had heard the song before, but didn't know who sang it untill the commercial. I was blown away because I had a crush on Rick, finding that out made me love him even more. My first concert was Rick Springfield ON my 14th birthday!!!❤❤

Kenny Wayne Sheppard I was driving down I-35 in St. Paul when I heard it for the first time, when the solo started I nearly had to pull over it was so mind blowing.

I remember the exact moment a kid with a small boombox turned on Back In Black on the way to school. That is the one song that changed everything about my music taste.

I still remember the first time I heard a song called you know you're right by nirvana. It was going to debut on MTV and I walked quickly to the video store to rent a movie but when I got back home/ I unfortunately missed it/ but my friend recorded it for me and I was blown away.

First time I heard; * Loverboy... Watching American Bandstand, they played The Kid Is Hot Tonight * Motley Crue... in a record store in the mall..."Flip Side Records. The manager knew who I was, because I was there at least 4 times a week. He said "Dude, we just got this new record in. Check this s**t out! And put the needle down on. We ended up listening to the entire Shout at the Devil album, with other customers either rocking out to it, or leaving because it wasn't Barbara Streisand or Madonna. * Judas Priest...in the backseat of the car, 4 of us were skipping class to head to a pool hall called "Hambones"... the girl driving said "Y'all have to hear this! And popped Screaming for Vengeance into the cassette deck. MAN it was great when new albums hit the stores!

I was 13 when i saw this band live with guns n hoses,his voice gave me chills when he hit those high notes and to this day at 47 am still a fan

Can only think of one song that I remember the exact moment I heard it for the first time. My college roommate and I were just chillin' in our dorm room listening to a local rock station, and the opening riff of "Thunderstruck" started playing. My roommate and I just looked at each other and said "ANGUS!" simultaneously, because there was no mistaking who we were listening to.

I was big into Metal Edge magazine as a teen. Read in an interview there that this song is about a true story Scotty snake or Rachel was reading the paper while they were taking a break in the recording and came across the story of “Ricky”. This song came right from that. Was a few years before Pearl Jam would do the same find the “Jeremy” story for that song

Savatage-Hall of the mountain king . I was at a friend's house and it was on MTV in the background. Instantly drew me in

This one always gets me feeling nostalgic for Headbanger's Ball. Staying up late and watching it in my room... I miss those days.

I remember exactly when I heard this song SKID ROW.

Burch, same age and same exact taste in music. Also, I thought I was the only one that remembers Fine Fine Day. Kind of a forgotten gem I remember the moment I first heard Silent Lucidity, among other songs, vividly

Hotel California out on a boat on my 12th birthday. I'm 46 now. Money for Nothing my dad's work... probably around the same age.

Such a great voice. Great reaction guy's

Love you guys. You literally rock

I'm so glad I came across your channel, I am totally loving all your reactions, I've even gone back to catch up on all the one's I've missed...THANK YOU & GOD BLESS BOTH OF YOU, PEACE & LOVE

Sebastian is from my hometown in Canada - Peterborough, Ontario

I had just walked into my apartment in Austin Texas and welcome to the jungle had just came on MTV for the first time

I love watching these reaction video's from the 80's . Brings me back to my youth. Being a teenager growing up in the 80's was amazing. Yes we all have had the part of the crowd that went down the wrong path in life. I remember from my graduating class 4 guys ending up in Prison. I was lucky that by the age of 23, I had traveled around the world, lived thru addiction problem, and met the woman i married and share life with to this day. (37 years and happily counting).

As a life long Jersey-ite, this band was EVERYTHING to us!!! Still is and we are waiting, patiently, for them to all get in the same room and do a show. Together. And not murder each other. Hey a girl can dream, right? LOL!

Two come to mind. Ratt - Dance and Lynch Mob - Wicked Sensation. Ratt was at a friends house in the screened-in porch and I yelled "New Ratt!".Lynch Mob was at a friends apartment. Not that it was too hard to figure out what George Lynch was gonna name his band but I heard the first note and knew it was Lynch. Radio didn't say the name until after a commercial. Drove me nuts for a few minutes.

I was 15 yrs old and my girlfriend and i just broke up and that same day for the first time i heard Robert Plant " BIG LOG " and loved it and still to this day one of my Favorite tunes :)

I have many songs that I can vividly remember when and where I saw them. Yngwie Malmsteen's Rising Force's debut of I'll See the Light Tonight on MTV is a good one. I was in my TV room after rushing home from school and it was the first song that came on.

Collective Soul - December Somehow always brings me back to those mornings when I was going to go to school.

I remember the first time I heard All's Fair in love and War By Lillian Axe. My buddies house he put it on asked me to guess who it was. Soon as I heard the vocals I knew. One of my favorites of all time...

First heard it on MTV. Great song.

Great Vid... I loved the Loud Truck...so funny!

Great song. Speaking of his new album, I just heard his new single "[Hold On] To The Dream" yesterday and it's pretty bad ass. Can't wait to hear the rest of the album.

one song I remember the exact moment and location i first heard it was Hearts on Fire by Bryan Adams. I was out camping and on the last day right as we were closing the extended walls of the trailer and the radio was still playing but the volume was so low I could barely hear it, the only words i caught were hearts on fire. I wrote down those words so i don't forget about it, and for weeks I searched online and nothing showed up. I didn't know it was Bryan Adams until later. I searched on RU-vid but nothing, and even iTunes showed the exact same results as RU-vid. But one artist showed up on iTunes which didn't show up on RU-vid which was Bryan Adams. When I added his name to the search terms I found it and still love the song.

Sebastian Bach was a amazing singer back then and 18 and Life should have won music video of the year back in 1989.That song and music video is still amazing after all of these years.

His voice is effortless ♥️🎶

I have clear memory of the exact moment I listened to albums: Somewhere in Time by Main, Abigail by King Diamond (this one’s so vivid), Rust in Peace by Megadeth and Keepers II by Helloween come to mind.

Great song. Great review.

I remember listening to my boombox radio with a blank cassette inserted and “play/record” and “pause” all pressed ready to unpause and record certain songs on the radio. Wasn’t into this genre then Stevie B “Party your body” was what comes to mind. Gr8 jobs guys!!!

I remember seeing Sebastian Bach on Broadway and he was amazing. He talked about auditioning for the role and if it was between some actor dude and Sebastian who would get the role. Lol

This song is one of fhe best performance of Sebastian. Sad song sad story great vocals great solo.

Sebastian bach just great

Tesla’s Modern Day Cowboy and Stryper’s Soldiers Under Command are the songs I specifically remember the first time. The latter is why I started playing guitar.

Saw them live multiple times live , Small venue (The Chance NY ) best show I ever saw !

Great video

Thanks for letting us know about the new Bas album. The first three songs really rock. Can't wait for the rest!

Haha! First time I heard this song, FM 800 (Bass Blvd)/Business 83, near Harlingen, TX heading south from that intersection, 2001!!!!! My favorite Skid Row song......Favorite song ever since!

One my favorite bands Harem Scarem I first heard them on the zrock radio summer of 1993 at work, the song was with a little love. But back then we didn't have google to look them up to find more out about them or even the name of the song , so I just remembered there band name for several years and when dial up internet came alive I searched their name and found the song I heard sampling other songs of there's til I found the one I heard and it's name. Also found out they had several other great albums the released.

I also have that type of memory when it comes to smells and music. For example one of the songs I remember is You Give Love a Bad Name by Bon Jovi. I was watching MTV, top 20 program and it came on, hearing something heavier than the pop that dominated the charts, the cool video made me a Bon Jovi fan right away till today. I was at a family friends house alone in the media room, my family had moved to another city and I was there till my school term ended. The next day obviously the video was going to be at the top 20 so I set up a boom box with some cables from the speaker jack of the TV and taped it. Anyway, that's my story.

Yup, I remember the first time I heard Rush 2112!

God bless the USA by Lee Greenwood at a monster truck show with my dad during the gulf War 5-6 years later after high school I was in the Army

I saw this song performed live in concert at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit when Skid Row opened for Bon Jovi during their New Jersey Tour in March of 1989 and then again in May of 1989 when they came back to Detroit. I still have my poster I got at the concert and the jersey. Sebastian Bach was on one of the past seasons of The Masked Singer. On Broadway he was in the musical Jeckyll and Hyde as the lead. Just an fyi Sebastian Bach is Canadian Canadian serial killer Paul Bernardo was sentenced to prison in 1994-95 and is still in prison. In prison they do have access to computers so Ricky would have had exposure to computers.

Sebastian still performs. He can hit those high notes, just not quite as high. But the man has not lost his voice.

I was in college in Texas when I first listened to this .

things that have changed since 1989 No phonebooths, no Rotary phones to cordless phones to cell phones , CD's are now MP3 players for music streaming, VCR's to DVDs , to Cloud DVR's , Cars with CD's to Blue tooth function cars to listen to music or phone calls , Cars that have gas tanks to Electric cars that can drive themselves. Just to name a few here but so much more .

You rock!!! This channel is awesome and I've been subbed for awhile.I completely enjoy your fun and interesting stories and perspective on music!!thank you for making my life a little brighter knowing there's someone out there who loves music as much as I do!!!😄🎶❤✌

The first time I heard this song , I definitely remember. I was watching this video of skid row the exact moment they were carrying the body out of my neighbor who died of an overdose in his house. I think of him now I every time I hear 18 and life… he was definitely that troubled kid in the video. Sad 😢

Quicksand Jesus by Skid Row! 😎🔥🤘🎸

fight fire with fire in my mustang just popped it in my cassette and was blown away, and runaway i walked on my house and in the corner of my eye saw jon. Youth gone wild my kitchen making dinner. blown away. skid row actually taught music right up the street from my house and I never knew.

A lot of 70's &80's song I remember because my grand parents and a summer home 50 miles away so many were on the way to there. Sex & candy by Marcy Playground I remember and Champagne Supernova by Oasis I remember partly because I listened to them both in the same day.

Excellent a+

I remember the exactly moment several songs have heard by me. Jump by VH, Sweet Child O Mine by GNR, for some examples. This is a very special aspect of music. Remind us. And I love this

my friend and i were waling down the road near my house the year this song came out and the long haired rocker kid with a boombox on his shoulder was blasting this song, thats the firsrst i heard it and that memory is fried in my brain

You should do some of Sebastian's solo work.

He has a great control of voice because he used to sing in a choir...

Hey guys; my memory was being 14 at my friends house, and not having a real introduction to metal, he played Slaughterama by GWAR. It was the beginning of September, 1990… his room had a horrible floral wallpaper, a small tv, and we were playing Altered Beast on his Sega… This was the moment that I became a lifelong metalhead! Keep up the great work!

I remember exactly where I was when I first heard: Eric Clapton - Lay Down Sally ... friend's room Ted Nugent - Cat Scratch Fever ... friend's backyard pool AC/DC - Black in Black album ... friend's summer rental

Did you miss "Youth Gone Wild"?? That was the first Skid Row video I ever saw. "18 and Life" was a great sophomore release, but was quickly eclipsed by "I Remember You." BTW, Sebastian and Skid Row made G'n'R their bitches when they opened for them in Charlotte in '89/90(?). Axl actually came onstage and said he "wasn't that into it." I remember having paid $25 for my ticket, which was the most I had ever paid up to that point, and thinking, "Well, you'd better GET into it, asshole!" Never had quite the same admiration for Axl after that.

Was up on the sidewalk of our house when my buddy introduced me to Guns and Rose's

From singing in the All Saints Choir in Peterborough, ON as an 8 year old all the way to the top. At least for a while. Driven to succeed.
