What All Of Sebastian Bach's Former Bandmates Have Said About Him 

What are your thoughts on Sebastian Bach?

All I have to say is it weren’t for Sebastian Bach, we would have never heard of a band called Skid Row.

Opening for KISS was a great move. Sebastian knew what he was doing. Skid Row evaporated and didnt put out enough quality albums to stay relevant.

1996, KISS had the biggest tour of the year. THE BIGGEST EVENT OF 1996. In fact, one of the biggest events of the 90s. Highest grossing tour of 1996. Would have been huge for them to be opening on that tour, exposing themselves to sold out shows and stadiums of 10s of thousands of people each night. Many times solid bands who open for the big boys can help the band become one of the big boys. KISS, Ozzy, Metallica, Van Halen, AC/DC, Scorpions- you give your left nut to open for these bands as it can open you to stardom. I may not like Bach but he was absolutely right on having the band open for KISS

I got the pleasure of seeing him in a small venue in Ramona CA. Not only did he rock the place but he pulled me up on stage to honor vets.. Desert Storm. Thanks brother

Without Bach, it isn't Skid Row. Slave to the Grind will never be topped without him.

Skid Row is nothing without Bach

I have met, Sebastian twice, super sweet guy and he is an awesome frontman who can still hit the high notes!

Nobody's perfect and Sebastian is one of the best metal singers ever

Sebastian is a rock icon !! Skid Row is not the same without him !!

Without Sebastian, Skid Row was just another hard rock band. As far as lead vocalist go, Sebastian is one of the best ever and he was the difference between Skid Row and all the others. Not to say the rest of the guys weren't talented, but they weren't any better than the others, Sebastian was truly special.

Sebastian Bach is the voice of skid row and that's it. No more skid row without him

Speaking for myself Bach rocks.... personally I owe Bach and the rest of Skidrow for so many great memories of hearing some the best songs ever... love snake also

Sebastian had one of the most badass vocals of his generation without a doubt.

I saw the thumbnail, and I was like, "Damn, the years have NOT been kind to Pamela Anderson!"

Their first 2 albums were iconic

I worked at The Marriott's Orlando World Center in the early 90's and I had the pleasure of waiting on Sebastian, his little son, and girlfriend. He was super nice and super cool. In my opinion, Sebastian Bach is Skid Row and a great rocker and singer. I still have the napkin that he signed for me. It was a good night. They played in Lakeland a few nights later at a festival and totally rocked the night away. Loud and proud.

One of the best bands ever… my high school years wouldn’t have been the same without them.. all amazing memories

Skid Row doesn't make it without Bolan/Sabo songwriting nor do they make it without Bach's vocals.

Sebastian is a rock ICON!

I love him❣️Sebastian was one of the sexiest singers and front men in all of Rock! Ever!

Last time he was in Skid Row I was in high school. I'm a grandad now, pack er in boys, you're done.

Keep in mind that Bas came into Skid Row after the first album was already written and he made zero money on it. He didn't start cashing in until Slave. His voice propelled Skid Row into the stratosphere on that first record and he was done dirty. It was inevitable that they would implode.

Bless your soul Rob Affuso. Thank you for trying

I saw skid row in the summer of 1988 with Tesla opening at the Orange County Speedway in Middletown NY. Both bands were stellar. Stellar. Perfect hard rock music. Both bands were extremely hungry, fierce, and tight. I'll always remember that show.

I’m 49 and that said 18 and life and I remember you and while other more unknown songs were on the radio when I was 15. The way Sebastian sang and I remember you brings to mind my youth ,meeting my ex-wife at the end of that summer before the album dropped and everything else that’s happened in life since. I love this song and I love the way Sebastian sang with such emotion let’s be real , If it wasn’t for him there would have never been a Skid Row. We would’ve never heard of that band.

Bach is Skid Row. Without him Im not interested in the band. They just dont really matter, they weren't the star of the show.

Hey, it's not his personality we care about, it's his amazing singing we love 💕

Holy shit.... when I saw this photo I thought it was Linda Tripp, Monica Lewinsky ex-friend.

Bach looking like a hermit grandmother in the thumbnail

I'm a drummer,,,and never let your singer walk out,,,try to swallow your pride to work things out......great singers/frontmen are hard to find......period

I got into a small argument with Bach on Twitter and of course was banned. Arrogant is an understatement and clueless about reality.

I have to say after being married to a semi famous drummer who had his share of bands thats been on tour did vidoes on MTV in the 80s and 90s but all band mates have problems with each other. They all have big egos and they all have ideas they think is best so they clash. The biggest thing I noticed its the egos that get in the way. I love my husband married 28 yrs but he had a big ego when it came to music he always wanted things his way and so did the other band mates. Every band has its clashing moments and many cant get over it... musicians are a different breed wild crazy big egos and a lot of fun. I guess all that craziness is what make us love our favorite bands and we hate it when they're no longer together. How I miss those days 80s and 90s where great times. Meet my husband in the early 90s crazy ass musician that stold my heart we were crazy in love thru all the craziness. He passed away a few months ago how I miss his crazy ass. A musician that actually stay married and truly loved me.

Sebastian is a handful. He’s filterless. He’s more talented than anybody’s is allowed to be and we love him. They were kids back then and I think he would do better now - especially for a single reunion tour - he wants it so bad. He also knows he can still sing those same songs that he has for 35 years with or without them.

Live he can fkn sing and if you go watch their British concert when they toured after hitting big. His singing was amazing and it still blows me away today

This is another example of young talented guys that caught lightning in a bottle but didn't have enough maturity by understanding or guidance to see through the valleys of a musical career.. Aerosmith Black Sabbath all the greats I've always had issues look at the Rolling Stones The Who Etc they all saw through the crap and grinded on for the greater good of the band the fans and their income.

I was a BIG fan of Skid Row back in the 80's but now today Skid Row will never be Awesome without Sebastian Bach ever again!!

He gets along very well with children, because he never grew up, and he's a child himself.

Bach makes good friend with Axl Rose. for me, that says a lot.

I’m going to see him in a local club next month and I’m excited. I’m an 80’s girl and always loved him.

Sebastian IS Skid Row!

He is a badass performer

It sounds ridiculous to say, but as the vocalist in a STP tribute, I’ve run into the same problems. If you want the best musicians, they expect to be paid to rehearse and a minimum for shows as if they are “session” guys. People: this is why most unsigned bands suck that you see locally or in clubs. It’s economics.

Bach was, is, and will always be a legend in his own mind.

Go see Sebastian Bach live. He just loves to sing and play music. I saw him after Skid row break up and was blown away. Bach is a true rocker. Music is all that matters. He really doesn’t care about money. Always a great show and he’s awesome.

Sebastian WAS Skid Row.

So glad Stevie Ray Vaughan just wanted to play music. And what a mighty job he did.

I saw Skid Row open for Bon Jovi way back in the day.. it was FKNG 🔥🔥🔥. I miss the old line up 🔥

Sebastian used to look 10 years younger than me now he looks ten years older than me and I'm 62 but I only drink one beer whenever I do drink and smoked weed occasionally

I saw them open for BonJovi in Philadelphia in 1989. I remember it well. The 18 and Life era 💗

despite all the stupid drama out there Bach was the voice of that band and the voice that landed their biggest hits off those 1st 2 albums period........

That thumbnail pic looks exactly like a woman who bartends at a local American Legion where I live.

Skid Row is coming to play in my hometown soon. But without Bach it’s not considered Skid Row to me

Snake Sabo is in rock circles one of the most popular and well liked musicians. I mean everybody likes the guy. Even an executive from Skid Row’s old label wrote of Snake’s thoughtfulness when her parent died and he attended the wake. She wrote he was a totally great guy and a class act. If Snake says Bach is a jackass then based on all the people who sing high praise of Snake Sabo I’d believe it.

Ralph was a great guy and amazing guitar player

I believe Eddie best coined the phrase when asked about why Van Halen broke up. He said Roth suffers from LSD, Lead Singers Disease. Egos are fed by success and sometimes you forget the hard work and collaboration and enjoyment it took when you were unknown.

I saw him a few years ago in Edmonton. Super friendly and his voice is still amazing. It was a great experience. Also, he still has that beautiful head of hair.

He’s awesome. Stand up guy and loves his fans. Still rocks it out of the park. Go see him!!!!

Grew up listening 🎧 them 💯👍

Damn, that guy looks 20 yrs older than his age.

Sebastian is a Legend ... una estrella de rock

In opinion its not the same without Sebastian Bach from the beginning he was the main guy with strong vocals and inspiring songs and lyrics. You Guys need to work things out and let by gone be by gones you only get one chance in life make the best of it as you may regret it later. Sebastian Bach is a good vocalist and I feel that there should be a reunion with all original members that is how I feel about it. Now you have a new vocalist for the band it's not the same I'm sorry guys back in the days with Sebastian you guys rocked now it's like nothing and not the same anymore no vibes no nothing it's sad😢. Wish you all the best be safe God Bless

You made him look like Senator Palpatine in the thumbnail lol

Sebastian Bach is an always will be the voice of Skid Row, he was the Youth Gone Wild!!!

He was great on Gilmore Girls!

He’s got one heck of a comic book collection !

There’s no love lost whatsoever between Skid Row and Sebastian Bach, it’s really sad, because they had chemistry musically and yes they had their differences, but if the two camps can’t work with each other, what’s the point.

Skid Row was successful BECAUSE OF Sebastian, by his vocals, looks and attitude. He was the one hanging out with the best. Obviously have great songs but with Sebastian could do at that time at 19 years was mind blowing!! And the best bands of the time recognized Sebastian .

Sebastian Bach is a great singer, yeah, but what really makes him special is the beautiful clean voice then the aggressive singing with heat, freaking badass Heavy Metal voice the heat is on!

There is a guy on YT, Henning Pauly who did an entire album back in 2005 and hired Bach to sing on it. Bach tried to claim it was his solo album when in reality it was Henning's album with Bach a hired gun. I think Henning said Bach attempted to or did sue him over royalties. I remember Henning saying Bach is a great singer but a POS human being.

Agreed that skid row wouldn't have made it without him

Love him or hate him but without Sebastian There would Never have been Skid Row.

Skid row was lucky to have had S. Bach as there frontman. 🙉

Well,..it was fun while it lasted!!! Thanks for the great music!!! 💔

I attended a Skid Row show In the mid or late 90s , right before the wheels fell off. It was crazy seeing a platinum selling band playing for a crowd of maybe 300 in a building with 3,000 seat capacity. There was hardly anyone there. I felt embarrassed for the band but it was a great show.

Like 20 years ago, I saw Twisted Sister play a huge amusement park in Jersey. Bach came up onstage for the encore.

I think he’s hilarious, charismatic, fun, amazing singer and I think it’s rad he’s having his moment!

Sebastian Bach was one the best Metal singers ever! His personality is larger than life. Bas was and always will be Skid Row…the others guys? Who cares.

I am really sad this all went all... I feel bad for Sebastian. I love Youth Gone Wild because of Sebastian.

Wish it didn't have to be so dramatic.these guys are some of my favorites🔥

He's an amazing talented singer ! I saw him on the Hard Rock Cafè ,he don't need of the original skid row band mates or anything but good musicians for that matter cause his voice is what drives the audience! Metal Mike was on guitar at that time I attended the concert. I just can say WOW ! His voice is unique! And all the skid row band members know and knew that...they never get the fame they reached when Sebastian was on the band . Sad but true !

if its true that the rest of the band said they were too big to open for KISS then i totally agree with bach

I think it’s jealousy. Sebastian Bach is one of the best front man and singer of all time I meet him at Star land ball room in Sayreville NJ he was great as always and very humble my friend is good friends with him. We talk and had couple beers and he definitely is very super kool supper nice guy 👍🤘

Sorry, but the band (besides the drummer) are really up themselves. It started with Bach doing a deal with Kiss, thinking everyone would be really happy (he should have consulted first, but the band thought they were too important to play with the legends that are Kiss. Big as Skid Row were, they are full of themselves for thinking this). Bach was understandably pissed, as was the band, and Bach shouldn't have left a rude message. But it was just a fight. That's all, and it happens to everyone. And they band says they don't care about the fans, it's about them being happy. That's really disrespectful to us fans. We made them what they are, and when they fired Bach, they've pretty much dropped off the map. They should at least get together to do re masters of those first 3 albums, but the band just won't. And when touring, they don't even have to talk to each other or hang out. Many bands do this because they don't get on. Again, the band doesn't care and won't do it. Bach has come out on a few occasions and stated he would work with them again. The band members need to get their act together and stop being selfish.... and its not like they won't make a stack of cash. Anyway, rant over. Sorry for that, but as a big fan, I feel disrespected and sort of cheated. What do you all think?

Just saw Sebastian on the "80s Cruise. The highlight was his one hour interview for the audience a day or so after the show, and he kept us in stitches for 60 straight minutes, absolute stitches. I'm more of a Nirvana/Pixies fan, but holy crap is this man an unbelievable talent. Had to be there to see it; his comedic timing is the best I've seen, he is a master showman.

Rob Affuso is from my hometown

Let's say it's just hard to be a band and stay a band. I'm against choosing a camp, they all have their skills, personality, ego. Who am I to judge anyone. As a guitarist these two are underrated guitarists.

I loved early Skid Row and we all know lead singers can get a bit large headed. But they were great for their time... Soundgarden opened for Skid Row a couple times, and we saw where music went after that... For me that ended up being the best. Times change and music changes.

Skid row and poison were top 2 hair bands when i graduated motley crue was our schools favorite

Skid Row.....was always an opening band

My friend Mark "Bam Bam" McConnell was his drummer in the 90's. He liked playing with Sebastian.

At some point you just have to be honest with yourself and everyone around you. Your young badass days are over. Your old and hopefully wiser. Accept and move on. Be thankful for what you had and show some dignity.

I'm a stage mgr for So Cal. Have worked with SB. It's quite obvious why they don't want him back...

In an interview, one of their producers, i think Wagener, said Bach confronted him years later. "You stole my publishing," Bach said. The producer had to tell him that he didnt have any publishing because he never wrote any songs. Million-dollar voice and a ten-cent bran.

If he's half as irritating in real life as he was on the Trailer Park Boys, I'm surprised they didn't drive off while he was taking a piss on the side of a highway in the middle of nowhere.

I like the guy. People gotta remember you had a group of 20somethings,who came from nothing,thrust in the spotlight,handed millions and add in managers,agents and hangers on telling each one what ever....it's a recipe for walking the razors edge. Add in a probably bi polar,hugely talented front man....and they fell off the wrong side .

He could sing back in the day.... Wicked vocals!

Ya, he was definitely real pr**k, but man, what a voice Sebastian had. He will go down as one of the legends of metal frontmen

I'm glad to see these guys made it I grew up in the 80s listening to all the rock and metal bands let all that shit from the past go we were all young having drunken drug fueled rages can't we all just get along lol

In 96 Skid Row were not too big as an opener for Kiss, which had one of the biggest tours in the mid 90’s. Look at where the ended up after firing Sebastian!
