Crime Doesn't Pay!!! More Sebastian Bach with a Vocal Analysis of Skid Row's "18 And Life"

I expected harsh vocals and demonic undertones before my first listen to Skid Row a few months ago, which were ultimately shattered by Sebastian Bach's sweet tenor range and beautiful ensemble of "I Remember You". I think that stems from having lived next to Skid Row in Los Angeles, and projecting. This time, I was prepared. Or was I?
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Skid Row performing "18 and Life".

Sebastian Bach is, in my humble opinion, one of the most underrated rock vocalists of all time. I hardly ever hear him mentioned when people mention the greatest vocalists or greatest frontmen.

@davidboeger6766 Ай бұрын

Agreed. I think part of the problem is Skiw Row just gets lumped into that generic last wave of hair metal trying to hang on while grunge was taking over the world. A lot of those bands don't really get judged on their own merit but as weird products of their time. Sebastian Bach definitely stands out as one of the greater talents from that scene.

It was a wild time to be alive, and there was a ton of good music, but so much got overshadowed by the massive impact of grunge in the popular music scene.

I was at a rock festival in Sweden in 2005 where Sebastian played. The concert was awesome (I am/was a long time fan of Skid Row). Afterwards he held a meet and greet and my brother and I were first in line. He asked my name and I said Rikke and then he immediately sang the first verse of 18 and Life for me - switching "boy" with "girl". I was speechless. He was so sweet, kind and humble to talk to and I will never ever forget it.

Hi, crime author here. First off; thanks for being you. I've recently learned that I can sing (my SO introduced me to where my voice is, she had some choir training), and I've been following your channel and learning a lot. Keep doing your thing! Anyhow, your comment about "why do guys keep guns in their pants??" I can (sorta) explain that. That style of carry is called "Appendix carry" or "Mexican carry". Yes, it's associated with criminals and yes, it's as dangerous a way of carrying a gun as you'd imagine for all the reasons you can think of. And yes, plenty of criminals are admitted to hospitals across the country from self-inflicted gunshot wounds to the...groin area. Why people do it; mostly its so they can throw guns away if police are chasing them and have no connection to said gun - after all, if the cops don't actually catch you with the gun it isn't your gun. Also, it apparently feels "manly" and "badass" to have a gun shoved down your pants. I don't get that part any more than you do, but apparently it takes all kinds.

Wasted Time is a must. Besides Sebastian's literally unbelievable range, this video shows his talent in relaying emotion. This is not just a song. It is a personal plea to a friend who has been deafened by falling into the black hole of heroin addiction. I don't think there is a more perfect example of the whirlwind of emotions experienced by those who have watched someone they love killing themselves and not being able to reach them. He sings from the depths of his soul and his pain is palpable. It is soul crushing and will leave you speechless. In my opinion, it is a masterpiece.

He thought the gun wasn't loaded.

That's interesting. I thought that originally Dave Sabo wrote this song with the lyrics referring to his brother who served in Vietnam, and as he came back home, he was a different person. It was Jon Bon Jovi who gave him advice about making the subject of the song related more to everyone else's experiences, so listeners could find something on which they could relate. Recently I watched an interview with Rachel Bolan who pointed out this.

@@AnnaluisaSocher After further research, you are right, it originally started out originally about Dave's brother that went to Vietnam and came back a different person but they said it didn't work out as they wanted to so they changed the narrative (from an interview on Bravewords website entitled 'Dave "Snake" Sabo tells the true story behind Skid Row Class "18 and Live.) I can't put the link here, KZfaq will delete the comment (updated my comment based on further research)

Youth Gone Wild & Slave to the Grind were the two other singles that got me into Skid Row along with 18 & Life, so there is always a soft spot for me there! Seeing him perform at a small club a couple years ago he still sounds killer live.

I saw Sebastian Bach as the lead in the Broadway play Jekyll and Hyde here in New York City in the early 2000's. And he KILLED IT! He was so good in it

Just to reiterate what others are saying, Wasted Time is far and away one of the best vocal performances of all time. The range on display in that song will dazzle you, and the song will leave you breathless. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼 rock on.

You should totally interview Sebastian Bach. I’m sure he’d be up for it (I mean don’t want to speak for him, but he’s a cool guy). I’ve seen podcasts with Dave “snake” from Skid row. It was great.

The video is pretty great too. The shot of Ricky going through the glass to introduce the friend right as they start the first “18 and Life” chorus is a nice touch.

I've heard some live stuff, and he did not sound great, they can do a lot with autotune today. I don't trust it.

@tolsen8212 Ай бұрын

@@jeremiahrose4681 Actually, you can't trust mobile phone sound. I've recorded gigs on my phone that sounded great live, sounded great on soundboard and yet sounded horrible on the video I recorded. Phones have specific types of mics that emphasize certain sounds and cannot capture dynamic range.

Impatiently waited all week for this one since your heads up comment & it didn't disappoint 😁Thanks for doing more Skid Row, please please please make Wasted Time the next song by them 🙏 as for your comments about his future, while I personally consider him one of the greatest singers I've ever heard, age wasn't kind to his voice & his career became more obsession with what he lost when kicked out of Skid Row, but fortunately we got 2 great albums & plenty more music videos to review of them 🤣(in no particular order) Monkey Business, Quicksand Jesus, Slave to the Grind, Youth Gone Wild 🤟

Sebastian Bach was called the "pretty boy with the golden voice". I never really liked hair bands or metal very much but I really liked a lot of Skid Row because of Sebastian Bach's voice. He said in an interview that his vocal style is an old Italian style called bel canto and it was taught to him by a man named Don Lawrence.

@user-se2vu6wv2n Ай бұрын

Brian Vollmer (Helix) has credited that learning bel canto theory saved his voice. He teaches that theory. Would be another great Tea Time as well.

Fun fact: Sebastian Bach comes from a family of very talented people. His father, David Bierk, is a world-renowned artist (painter) with a pretty lengthy Wikipedia page breaking down his works, his brother Zac Bierk played professional hockey in the NHL, and his sister Dylan Bierk was an actress who stared in B films like Jason X

I genuinely love seeing your work for the memories it brings from my school days. I always so admired my voice student friends who worked so hard and were so dedicated to making it happen every time. You could tell how much they put in and they didn't have some random instrument to help out, it was just them.
