Sebastian was professionally trained as a singer. When he was a teenager, he told his dad that he wanted to be a singer and his dad said, "Ok, but you have to do it right and take lessons." Thanks dad.

When this song was released I was incarcerated and it changed my life....didn't go back since and every time I hear it, I know I made the right choice

Sebastian is absolutely in ANY conversation about greatest voice in ROCK..

Try "Wasted Time" from the same band. You'll be blown away. As for a live performance: Skid Row - I Remember You Live in Kawasaki, Japan 1989 As for how big they were? HUGE. "I Remember You" was THE prom song of 1989. At one point they were almost as big as Guns N Roses. Seb was always a sex symbol in the late 80s. In 1989 Christina Applegate (Married With Children) took Brad Pitt to the MTV music awards, and she left with Sebastian Bach...

I was just on an 80s cruise and Sebastian was one of the performers. We also got to sit in on interviews. Sebastian was so interesting! He said he was in choir as a kid and when his voice started changing, he locked himself in his room and practiced hitting the high notes because he didn't want to lose that ability. He also said that he had a paper route as a kid and listened to Air Supply while throwing papers. Air Supply was on this same cruise and Sebastian joined them onstage for the last song of their performance. Awesome all around!

I recommend also "In a Darkened Room", really underrated

I wore this cassette tape out cruising in my firebird in 1990.

Skid Row's Wasted Time is probably Bach's pinnacle!

The first concert I ever attended was Skid Row opening for Bon Jovi in 1988. It was epic! I still have the t-shirt.

Fun fact.......his brother was a NHL goalie for the Tampa Bay Lightning. Sabastian went to games a few times and sang The National Anthem each time he was there.

You need to do "I Remember You" as well.

He just dropped new solo music THIS WEEK.

Check out skid row “ monkey business” Bach voice was unreal in that song. Skid row was pretty big for a moment. From what o remember they didn’t get along very well. And fun fact.. the lead singer of spread eagle Ray west was bachs vocal coach for a brief time

"I Remember You" live at Wembley Stadium is the live you NEED to see.💯 Sebastion goes off the charts with his vocal "play" mid-way thru the song... it's EPIC!!!👊🤯 Great reaction!! Peace and light...✌️💞

When she said "I hope they (screams) come back." I smiled....bc ohhhh they come back

They were huge! His voice is top tier! He sang in the Phantom Of The opera on broadway as well🔥🔥🤘🏼

Skid Row was a Top Hair Metal Band in the late 80's. The Genre was Saturated with Incredible bands so a lot of bands sorta got lost in the shuffle. It was an incredible time to be a teenager. 🤘Thank god we got the internet so we can continue to enjoy and share all of the Hard Rockn goodness with the YUTES of today.

Glad that you did this one. I’ve always felt that Sebastian is one of the all time greats. He’s one of the few who actually studied Bel Canto. What I think is amazing about him is his ability to mix that classical training with the grit and swagger of the best rock singers.

The song wasted time shows what kind of powerhouse he really is. I grew up listening to skid row as a teenager. Sebastian and Geoff Tate still are my 2 favorites of that era.

Oh Bethany now you are going down the Sebastian Bach rabbit hole. I would recommend Quicksand Jesus, In a Darkened Room and of course his masterpiece Wasted Time. The song is written about the decline of Steven Adler (drummer of Guns N Roses) due to his heroin addiction. He blew his voice out during the recording session for that song, it's by far the most emotionally charged metal vocal performance ever. A true masterpiece!

Sebastian Bach has quite a recognizable voice and tonality, some might even call unique. His voice carves perfectly into the the kind of hard hitting rock emanating from Skid Row. I completely understood what you meant Bethany about envisioning 3 different people doing this intro 🎤🎵

"I Remember You" and "Youth Gone Wild" are absolute Skid Row musts!!

Everyone will implore you too listen to 'Wasted Time' where Bach demonstrates the true full range of his talents and just how powerful both his voice and the emotion he conveys in that song.

youth gone wild... song of my youth...

He sang like an angel and looked better than most models all at 19 years old

definitely, without a doubt, unfailingly, after this beautiful reaction, you have to give us your reaction to the song wasted Time. please.

When I was 18 this was out, everyone thought I was a "WILD CHILD" said this was my story. 😂 WASTED TIME is another great SKID ROW song 🎵

'i Remember You' is another great example of his vocal gymnastics. Thank you for the review. Your hair is awesome by the way! 😀

Sebastian also had a run on Broadway in the Jekyll & Hyde musical. I'll never forget because the girl who sat next to me in class went to see it and got him to autograph her arm. When she came to school the next day they told her to wash it off and she refused so they sent her home, lol.

Hi Beth! 18 and Life is a great great song, but... wait until you watch WASTED TIME (official video) and you will be amazed by his power, his range and his full delivery to the meaning of the lyrics. Great reaction, as always! Greetings from Argentina

I still really enjoy how sensible you are about when to pause. Keep up the great work!

I watch Skid Row open for Guns N’ Roses in like 91 and this guy is a true performer… He had the crowd up right away and threw out the set. Electric!

Thank you for LISTENING to the song through for more than 20 seconds before stopping and talking over it all. You soaked it in... good!

You’re still my favorite when it comes to reactions! I see others change their format or “over react” perhaps in an attempt to gain viewers. But you do it right. Keep up the good work! Yes, Sebastian can sing with the best of them!

"Wasted Time" video is another one which Bach stands out. He talks about the drug addiction of his friend Steven Adler-- the drummer of Guns N Roses. Also the "I Remember You" video is great. Bach was born in the Caribbean and raised in Toronto, Canada. He moved to the US because Canada did not support heavy metal like the US. He met Skid Row at wedding while singing on stage and later joined Skid Row.

Saw Sébastien Bach last year and it was amazing. Dude still got it, voice, stage presence, banter, all of it

Great choice!

Sebastian Bach is an excellent singer. I was quite young when he was popular, but studying voice lessons. You cannot mistake that vibrato, and the way he controls his voice… It’s incredible.. his pronunciation, and when you watch him open his soft palette and kind of show his upper and lower teeth for some of those notes it’s just beautiful… And so is he. I had such a crush on him when I was young…❤❤❤

One of the greatest vocal performances…period. His command was unreal

If you really want to hear Bach in his screaming prime, check out the studio versions of "I Remember You", "Monkey Business" and "Wasted Time".

He is underrated for sure!

Quicksand Jesus, top performance. He was one of the best voices at some point.

Great song & video. I also loved seeing/hearing her reactions to it & particularly Sebastian's amazing vocals. She looks so sweet & kinda old-fashioned but she seems to be a rocker at heart! :)

no b.s., before Skid Row, Sebastian Bach sang for a little known american hair band called Madam X, thats my aunt and uncles band, Sebastian and Madam X all lived in my dads basement, you should do a video on Madam X either "High in Highschool" or "Monstrocity"

I was lucky enough to see them live in 89. Yes I'm old. They had no pyrotechnics or light show. They blow the headliner of the stage with just their sheer veracity, musical ability.

Baz is my favorite vocalist from this time and genre. Perfection! ❤️🤘

This dude had some pipes. Amazing growing up listening to this song. Hits home still.

Saw Skid Row in a small club in Vancouver in '89. Maybe 400 people in the place. They absolutely killed...

Never get tired of hearing this song, absolute classic 👏👏👏

He is playing Las Vegas this summer. Free concert. Fremont street experience. Sat, July 20th - Sebastian Bach (1st Street Stage, 9:00 PM)

In a Darkened Room. Won't regret it.

He’s just amazing! Sometimes it just comes together!

One of the best singers of any era, his range, clarity, tone and ability to be smooth, gritty and both was ridiculous.

This song would make an amazing movie! I'd love to be the person to make it!

Amazing!!! You gotta do Wasted Time. One of the best songs ever written and one of the most powerful vocal performance

Skid Row was huge in the late 80's. Their sound was so raw and powerful.

No doubt,,, WASTED TIME and you could see him still singing greatful this songs from the 80s....Sebastian is a singer out of this world.

“Wasted Time is a MUST to hear. It’s a rock vocal masterpiece. Sebastian was one of, if not the best vocalist from the hair band era of the 80’s through the 90’s.

Just saw Sebastian live this past Sunday. He still sounds pretty damn good at his age, 56 I believe.

Underrated. His chosen path, as with a lot of artists, determines how far you go.

“Wasted time”. In my opinion his best vocal performance. Also “I Remember You” is a classic as well.

I never got into them into the 90s, but the first 2 albums are so good, and still hold up!

I've been a subscriber for a long time... I hope you keep the grey

Best song they ever did, one the most memorable sebastian songs of all times♥️

I recomend you "in a darkened room" from skid row. Amazing voice of the great Sebastian Bach

If you want to hear Sebastian's range; check out "Wasted Time".

Sebastian Bach went on to 4 shows on Broadway He just recently released a new album

He is an amazing singer and the band stage presence is incredible, I got to see him at a 5000 person venue in the small town where he is from, I was front row, he had killer dwarfs and pantera as openers of which they are also under rated, I know his younger brothers and shared a basement in a storefront rental where his father had his art studio upstairs and I actually got to see the original painting to slave to the grind, that was pretty cool, been a fan of skid row since their first release obviously as I also know a few of his friends etc and everywhere you went in Peterborough the album was playing lol

One of the great ones❤🤘

Sebastián Bach had his own 18 & Life moment with his band mates. As amazing as they were it was kind of a flash in the pan type of a band because of their own drama. They could've been HUGE & considering their short band life, SkidRow is still very much recognized as a KICKASS band

I’m from Texas and in my 50s. They were HUGE! Love Skid Row!

Incredible voice and amazing song! Still hits me after all these years. Thank you!

This song when they were performing in Moscow in 1989 was stonning! The best ever in my opinion!

I've been on a few video shoots and most singers aren't actually singing. They're just lip syncing and half ass singing to the track we're playing on set. Singers and observant music fans will notice quite easily when they're doing it. But we've had a couple singers who actually sing, so fans can tell it's genuine. Which is pretty amazing, considering sometimes were on set for 8-10 hours a day shooting the same scene 10 or more times to patch together in post. Even singers with strong stamina will start softening it up around 5 p.m. So, I wouldn't doubt at all that he was actually singing, and not just lip syncing. Which you have to respect because they could just mail it in, like most lame singers do on videos.

This album was one of my favorite's as a kid... Youth gone wild, this song, I remember you... I wore that tape out! Sebastian was a badass

Youth gone wild and I Remember you. Both are classic and the MV s have stories too.

I put him in the top five rock vocalists of all time. Quicksand jesus, Wasted Time (Wiki the story first) , In a darkened room (especially the music video), Monkey Business... he's just phenomenal. If you want a real treat, check out the cover of Back in the Saddle Again (Aerosmith) by Sebastian Bach and Axl Rose. Also they were extremely popular. They opened for guns n' roses at the height of their career and debuted number one on Billboard

Skid Row has been in my top 10 since I was a kid. Sebastians voice is probably in the top 5

As a teen in the 80s, they were extremely popular. I Remember You is another great song of theirs. Whitesnake is another great band to do a reaction.

His dad wanted him to protect his voice. He'd pay for the lessons, but he couldn't miss a class... I hope you end up doing "Wasted Time", "In a Darkened Room", "Quicksand Jesus"-- well, with Baz, you can't go wrong!😊 His time on Gilmore Girls was good (and Year in the Life--Winter) but his eps of Trailer Park Boys were hysterical! Can't wait to see which Skid Row you do next! Take good care!😊

Man you are bringing back some memories this band was perfect for the time Sebastian is in a handful of singers that were gifted with the voice of an Angel 🙂

I was kind of back and forth on Skid Row back in the day, but it was this song that made me buy their debut album, and I was not disappointed. Great video!

I first saw them in 1984 and the band blew me away.

I went to school with the drummer. Super cool and humble guy. By the way, count me in as one that would like to see you react to Wasted Years official video.

Your knowledge of singing is very impressive and pleasantly insightful. Listening to your "analysis" is refreshingl

I’ve been hoping you would make a video on Sebastian Bach! Please check out more of Skid Row’s songs. Quicksand Jesus and Monkey Business AND I Remember You. Sebastian still tours. I jus saw him last weekend in Destin and I met him!

I know I've commented this on another video, but many years ago I was working backstage catering for a charity show he was performing at. I have literally been to hundreds of concerts and he has the most powerful voice I have ever heard. Keep in mind that I was backstage and only hearing the audio through the floor monitors filtered through doors and hallways. Sebastian is legit and he was a pretty nice guy in my brief encounter with him. There is a funny story to go with it, but I won't post it here. Dude can really sing.

Nice analysis. The song is just killer. Music, lyrics, recording quality and the vibe. Still on the radio regularly.

Seems like a lifetime ago but in my highschool days when this song was popular. Me and a friend went to a party and some drunken guys were playing around with a revolver and it went off hitting my friend in the chest. We tried to help him but he died before paramedics got there. The guy responsible only got 7 years but I still remember that night every time I hear this song.😢

Sebastian Bach has an amazing voice, watched him in a reality show that was called supergroup (?), seemed like a prima Donna to deal with.

Skid Row with Sebastian was quite impressive. Most live shows from 89-92 are amazing. Check out their set from Moscow 1989

Loves these 80's rock songs! Great job!!!

Saw Bas open for GNR awhile back now and he's legitimately crazy. It was so much fun. Blew Axl away that night.

This was absolutely one of my top jams in my teens, and still among my favorite metal tunes. Must’ve seen this video countless times and played this track ad infinitum.

I saw them live about 7 yrs ago... they STILL rock!!

Bach's voice was very much still developing at this point, several songs from the second album showcase his growth really well.

dude can sing. i haven't heard this song in maybe 20 years, and good to see your reaction (:

Three I would like you to listen to, 1. Cinderella " Don't know what you got " 2. Bad Company "If you needed somebody" 3. Cheap Trick " The Flame" Sorry I have a fourth and Love is the theme 4. "Tesla Love Song"

Like others have said, Wasted Time is the song that truly showcases Sebastian's vocal ability.

I absolutely love watching you see these songs for the first time. You really feel the music and I love that. My favorite are your metal videos ❤ lol
