The trail of b.s. that Baz has left has done him no favors. I feel like the situation between Baz and Skid Row is Sebastian's own doing. I admittedly don't know much of Skid Row's material after Slave To The Grind but I've often thought about the challenge some of these bands face (Skid Row, L.A. Guns, Quiet Riot etc..) replacing not just a member but lead singer, especially at this point in there careers. Even the bands that pulled it off successfully did it when they where current, mainstream bands. If AC/DC replaced Brian today they'd tank. The way I see it bands like Skid Row tour today either for the fans, fun or because they NEED the $$$ and I suspect individual members probably have very different reasons for continuing there involvement in the band. There not chasing the charts anymore and the majority of there fame, ticket & record sales are driven by nostalgia centered around a vocalist that's no longer there. No matter how much time and creativity they put into making new music with a new singer it's Baz era songs people pay for and anyone Skid Row give the position to will forever be seen as not Sebastian Bach which would probably get old imo

It doesn’t matter who sings in Skid Row, they’re playing the same venues for the same audience members they are now. If there is no extra money for reforming and no one likes each other, why bother?

Didn't they fire Baz because he made an agreement to open for Kiss and the rest of Skid Row thought they were too big to open for someone? Seems to me that Skid Row members have too big of an ego to work things out with Baz, and they are missing out on making millions of dollars because of it. They have had zero success with every other singer, because who the hell can replace Baz, which is why they have gone through so many, IMO. It's like Guns N' Roses without Axl. Thank you for saving the kitten. You're a good dude.

Why do you refer to it as hair metal? I always thought of it as rock and roll

Goeff tate

Question is was he wrong. Bon Jovi was a dick too more like sucking it. So you got ask yourself Sebastian was probably propositioned a thousand times so he didn’t speak out he spoke sideways. Hr didn’t get wacked but he got his point across.

Sebastian Bach is a clown!

Great insight guru! Id hate to be stuck on an island with Sebation....😜💚✌

“Gene will tell you he invented orange juice.” -Dio

I think you're right about both points you made here. It's a sad state of affairs. I'm pleased I got to see them in Donnington 1992. I think it could still work because they don't have to be a close as they were, they just need to rehearse. I don't think any of them are making great money anymore. I hope they are though

“Passion Play” on Midnight Madness is a killer album cut.

I liked All Systems Go. Didn't get into Slaughter, which is weird, same singer. His voice didn't bother me with VVI. Later on, it became nails on chalkboard for me.

Slave to the grind missed the bands entire audience. That was the problem!

On point, Bach can't be blamed solely as there is something badly wrong within the band itself even after Bach left.

Love the Kix shirt. Saw them in like 89 with Aerosmith. Fucking bad ass show bro.

Going to be honest love Vinnie in Kiss and helped them hold a heavier ground but Slaughter is stronger than VVI in my eyes. Just found the songs were not solid and they were hit and miss. Great guitar yes but Slaughter was a stronger record. Never saw VVI but did see Slaughter a view times in the late 80s, early 90s.

Imagine not 1 but 3 guys agreeing into leaving that much money on the table for a single person Thats one of the things about when checking bands, most of these guys got millionaire record deals at 18-20 year old when they were dumb and shit and not the best musicians, thus they get their best material at the 90s when they are close to their 30s when grunge is about to pull the rug, how sad Bach has to be insuferable. Please, check Anxious Disease by The Outpatience!

Saw Skids with Bach a number of times up here in Canada in the late 80s and early 90s. Love Bach's voice one of my favs but yeah his off the cuff energy could be hard to deal with 24/7. Good point on Jon (who can be a douche too I believe) but ya Bach ego ruined it. Maybe Rachel is hard to work with (he runs the show) also.... or just misdirection. Why did Rob leave the band ? Why did he not come back?

Sebastian doesn’t seem to have grown or matured at all. He does love to hear himself talk. As a singer, he will always be my absolute number 1 rock singer. As a kid he made me fall In love with being a frontman like Zakk did for guitar! But as an adult and seeing behind the scenes him, and now the social media him reminds of that saying, “Never meet your hero’s”. Hell even Axl matured . He’s out there playing with GNR and smiling on stage and cracking jokes with his band mates. Maybe he can talk some sense into Bach.

Gilmore Girls what is the TV show he was on

I saw him live about 20 years ago and from seeing the KZfaq videos it's exactly the same show he has not changed and he has not stopped delivering a top-notch performance.. none of those singers that they had worked for me in skid Row

This may or may not add some perspective. Sebastian Bach was on a TV show for a while.. he also did the Jekyll and Hyde Broadway play.. I'm just saying that he can do more than sing

a lot of moving parts here. 1) i think it is a difficult position for anyone to walk into an already established band, and sing songs that were popular with someone else singing, for a band that is a legacy band, and make a pretty average salary. you have to assume that any new music you make will never catch on, or give you a mark in the industry. its a job, it pays, but it isn't going to take you very far. 2) skid row is a group that is very talented, and will always have the ability to tour any time, and will always draw. however, in my opinion, even with bas, they aren't going to set the world on fire again. the time for them to get on major tours, and pack houses again was probably in 2010-2018. a lot of people scream that they could get on with gnr again, but i don't think that is so. a friend of mine is a promoter, and said that the level of band that skid row is, only sell 80-85% capacity with an original lineup. 3) we can all say that "they can travel on different busses", or they "only have to interact on stage". that isn't true. unless you are traveling stadium tours (journey, def leppard, metallica, the stones) do you have the money to do this. skid row won't. its not economically possible at that point. 4) the only way this happens is if some serious talks and repair is done. the only way that happens is if the parties involved want that. they don't. bas and rob do...but nobody else does. i saw bach on his current tour, and he still does an awful lot of opinion vomiting on stage. in two hours, he spent at least a half hour of it in between songs ranting and raving about topics. its who sebastian is...and god bless him. he is incredible live. but for a band that hates stuff, and dealt with a ton of it in the past that cost them money, and opportunity, they may never want to revisit it ever again. 5) lastly, people have to stop with the "do it for the fans". yes, we bought all the albums, paid for the concerts and t-shirts, but they don't owe us anything. they performed their job, and we paid for it. yes, they have a great life because of it, but they have earned the right to tour however they want to.

Everyone is guilty in this shitshow. All egos need to be checked and a reunion needs to happen.

I think it's 50/50 in terms of blame. Also, a lot of male pride and ego are involved too. Bach behaves like a street kid, mouthing off. But Sabo and the rest aren't all that different. Which is probably why they don't get along. I remember one of the members of Skid Row saying they hated that Bach came up with all these stories to media about what this and this song were about. Ad none of it was true. Motley Crue did the same with the video for the song "You're all I Need!" Claimed it was a true story, etc. For me at least, it didn't get debunked until years later, with the arrival of the internet. But it helped Crue sell music. That's the bottom line. I remember we all going around talking about the vid. How fucked up it was that they had known this guy, etc. And made a song about him killing his girlfriend, etc. Totally believing in the hype. The point is. If it helps you sell records, who gives a shit what he says the song is about? Let him spread the hype. Just keep it consistent.

SB was the best, and worst thing about Skid Row.

Unfortunately drama follows the band and Sebastian. Get back together and just ride in separate cars to the shows.

Its a monster-Extreme

You gotta pay to have your RIAA updated and Dokken probably never had it re-certified.

My fuck up, Eric Grimble was with them when they did the gang out here. I thought it was Sebastian, sorry. I’m a dumbass.

Maybe the band is like oil and water,they bring out the best and worst in people, case in point, Sebastian Bach has done well for himself since he was out of skid row. Didn’t they make an album in like 21 or something like that with him called the gangs all here?

Its probably Sabastian Bach. Feels similar to VH and DLR... they tried to get back together but Roth was such an A-Hole the band just couldn't tolerate him. Sabastian must be a mega dick for the band to pass on what would most likely be a profitable reunion.

Sorry I have to say something else about this lol. This is just my opinion from watching from the outside in. To me it seems like when they would have singer problems after Johnny it always seemed to me as if they wanted to hurry up and announce the next singer so it would put to rest any questions about Sebastian coming back instead of taking their time and making sure that he’s not only the right guy but make sure the next singer is exactly what you want. My opinion here but after Johnny Solinger they just seemed to grab whoever just to avoid any question about Sebastian coming back. Instead they should’ve just took their time and get the right guy. I think Erik was fantastic but they all knew he is still dealing with his whole cancer thing. I deal with that myself and when Erik went out on tour with them I was like damn that dude is a trooper because when you’re dealing with that it sucks the energy right out of you and then some and I wish Erik all the best. No way would I want to live on a tour bus with Sebastian. I would probably have a couple fun nights lol then I would have to get away from him lol. I know now I’m rambling here but I’m just passionate lol. Love your channel brother🤘🏼🙏🏼👍🏼

Well, we have to consider that one singer died from from liver failure after being fired. That was Solinger, possibly alcohol related dismissal, this last guy left with leukemia. There was the one guy who left but basically put his other band and career on hiatus. I don’t know, I think Bas is probably rough to put up with but I can’t really imagine that the other guys are walks in the park either. I’ve always assumed that there was something extremely personal between them because at this point skid row should be old enough to get over it. In other words, whose wife/girlfriend did Sebastian sleep with? 😂😂. I don’t know, bottom line, I suspect that something went down that none of them will cop to publicly. Love your vids.

I’m 52 years old, graduated in 1990 and turned 18 June 7th of that year. My rock n roll journey started with Kiss when I was 4-5 years old but then when shout at the devil by the CRÜE came out in ‘83 they became everything to me. Every so often a band would come out and I would feel like they were MY band and it happened again to me when I first heard the song “youth gone wild”and saw the video at the same time. I’ve flown the flag for skid row for so long and hoping they would get back together for a kick ass tour and always praying for a new album by the original 5 guys. My take on this band is Snake, Rachel and Scotti would’ve loved to have had it workout but Sebastian can’t keep his mouth shut and he seriously thinks that he is Skid Row. He needs to realize that as great of a singer and front man he always was back in the day he wouldn’t have been able to do it without those great songs written and played by Rachel and Snake. I’ve wanted the original 5 to get back together and seriously do something great for years now but I’m at the point that I don’t want it to happen because I think Sebastian is so full of himself and he would without a doubt pulll a 1996 David Lee Roth MTV award show moment and ruin the whole damn thing. Skid row has always been one of those bands that will kickass no matter what and as a teenager I thought Sebastian was the shit but now I understand why the other guys want nothing to do with him. I’m team Rachel, Snake and Scotti. One last thing. I think if the original skid row that we all remember could’ve stayed together they would’ve put out so much more kickass music….Hey Guru thank you for this skid row episode. I absolutely love this band so much. Maybe they were like GnR and was just too awesome for their own good 🤷🏻

What did they expect from Sebastian when he wanted to open for Kiss and Rachel is like naw I'm going to play in my other band and Scotti was like where the head liners not the openers ( I think that was said actually but from the whole band) anyways they did not give a rats butt about Sebastian he was just the singer ,they where the main prize🙄 f that I would have had a meltdown on the answering machine also they knew his love for Kiss and didn't care, ( I feel he would have opened for Kiss for free) And he still forgives them !!!! So yeah it's them 100 percent

This is James Anthony I agree with you Anthony Sabastian has to do with alot of the blame but you really have to think are the rest of the band part of the blame like you said they can't keep a freakin lead singer I am a Skidrow fan I love the first 2 Skidrow albums but I'm at the point where if Sabastian dose not get back with the band I think they should just call it quits cause even if they get a new singer who knows how long he will stay in the band cause the the singer never stays for a long period of time and I agree on another point you made BonJovi where always bigger then Skidrow so yeah that's how I stand on it Alot of great points in this video Anthony keep on rockin my brother

Sebastian bashing skid row don't help either 😊

It makes sense that a 20 year old singer gets you into a bunch of dumb shit… it doesn’t make sense that a 50+ year old man still is that same guy. Love Bach, but he never grew up.

Axl and Vince Neil had a tif to

Slave debuted #1 because of the leftover vibes of the debut. They got harder and it wasnt as user friendly as the debut. They should have kept the debut sound. Then he starts to act the dick. He pisses off everyone and their music is not popular anymore. So that was the beginning of the end. They were forgotten.

I think its 75% bach and 25% skid row. But who knows

Off topic....I know you said you like some of the cowboy stuff bon Jovi does....I was wondering what you think about the blaze of glory album?? I really like it myself....

You got me thinking about your theory on Jon Bon Jovi fucking with Skid Row after Sebastian talked all that shit and Skid Rows album sales took a nosedive and never recovered. I never thought about that. I feel there might be some truth to that. I get why the rest of the Skid Row guys dont want to reunite with Sebastian and i dont blame them

From my perspective it’s Sebastian Bach. He didn’t do himself or the rest of Skid Row after the bottle incident.

Hank Sherman from "Fate" was also in Merciful Fate with King Diamond.

Congrats on 2500+ subscribers! Awesome that the first Kix album was included, I feel like that album is underrated. Some of my favorites from 81 and 82 are Ozzy- Diary of a Madman, Riot - Fire Down Under & Restless Breed, BÖC- Fire of Unknown Origin, Saxon - Denim and Leather, Survivor - Premonition & Eye of the Tiger, Accept - Breaker & Restless and Wild, the first two Venom albums, Michael Schenker Group- MSG & Assault Attack, Iron Maiden - Killers & The Number of the Beast, Black Sabbath - Mob Rules, GBH - City Baby Attacked By Rats, Vandenberg - S/T, Raven's first two albums. Reckless(Canada) - S/T album from 1981 is worth checking out if you haven't already, I like their second album from 84 even better, but the first album is pretty cool and features a female vocalist

I always loved Dynasty by Kiss. Un masked grew on me and i like that one too!! Y&T was a band i just never could get into. Not sure why. Keep rocking.
