Sebastian Bach Announces Tour (Fingers Crossed!)

Sebastian Bach will hit the road in 2021 to celebrate the 32nd anniversary of the debut Skid Row album. The tour will hopefully kick off in May and Bach will perform all of Skid Row in its entirety. Right now, there are no dates coming near me, but hopefully more shows will be added - if things progress as planned and the tour gets to happen.

Alright get ready for the #FingersCrossed #Tour 2021 w Special Guests @stitchedupheart ❗
All previously purchased tickets will be honored obviously meet & greet too! I hope with all my 💔 this happens we miss you all so much! https://t.co/UaCZDL4nVY #skidrow30 #slavetothegrind pic.twitter.com/1BHORkJpeD

This would be interesting to see, fingers crossed, of course, we’ll be able to see it and don’t wind up in “Andromeda Strain II” from all the mayhem because of not taking COVID 19 seriously enough.

Aside from all that, why it will be interesting to see and HEAR how well Bach nails the material. This could be a real litmus test as to who really “owns” it — Bach or Skid Row minus Bach.

Let’s just hope we live to see it.

p.s. Looking over the tour “poster” graphic did cause me to check out opener Stitched Up Heart ... Though I found them to be virtually unlistenable, I did notice, unless I’m not reading the info in their website correctly, Bach and Stitched Up Heart are currently touring together ... Check out their site, as, if this IS the case, you can go see ‘em now, that is, if they’re playing in your area ... And you can give us a full report on Bach’s chops.

Nice to see you back, Metalboy! You won't answer my calls. You don't respond to faxes. But now you are here. So all is right with the world.

I think Bach has been sounding better in recent years. I would certainly catch this show if it happens. And I certainly hope it does. Lots of chatter on other Neanderthal sites about how he is playing in out of the way venues. Well, this is 2020. Bach can still draw a crowd, and likely a slightly bigger crowd than Skid Row. But still. What are people expecting?

All that said, perhaps he might consider doing some Halford-esque vocal warm-ups! I found that whole situation hilarious. Bach was being sensitive and protective. Halford handled the question like a champ. And I was starting to get a bit tired of Halford's "Metal God" shtick recently. But, boy oh boy, did he win me over with his responses. It's a joke. Move on.

Metalboy!, I clicked on some of those links. They seem iffy to me. So I suspect their website isn't up to date and a quick check showed that all of those links are not secure. Then I did a check for one of the venues (the second one in WA). It has the show listed as postponed.

when the originally scheduled show on this tour came through dallas, i decided to go see tora tora instead. that worked out well for me considering a tornado ripped through that part of town canceling his show but not tora tora’s. almost two years later and two reschedules, it may actually happen and i’ll be there, just for those deep cuts.
as for the opener, i’m a fan of stitched up heart. not sure why, but i have liked them for several years. they are a lot better live than in studio though. since i can’t really explain why i like them i totally understand why others don’t.

Damn, I am disappointed he is not bringing Fozzy out with him!

This tour should be fine. Nov 4 everything should go back to normal!

Jack Ted Ripper (pronounced "Rou-pear" like the French chef), do you mean the town in Illinois? Why would a date on a calendar move to a town? I am confused, you smarty-pants fire-starter. What happens when it turns out it is only you next to the steel drum, warming your hands?

Stu, I am gonna give them a shot based on your suggestion. After digging around for my previous post, I was a bit turned-off by the lady wearing elf ears in a few photos. Not my thing. By the way how was Tora Tora?

Jeff, oh he is . . . and Kermit, and Miss Piggy. It will be a great show. VIP tickets get you a seat next to Statler and Waldorf in the balcony.

well him, tora tora was awesome. i didn’t get to see them back in the day since they didn’t have a huge touring window. but i’ve seen them twice in the last 3 years now and it’s a load of fun. they mix a few new tracks in but give you all the tracks from the first two albums you want (hopefully).
as for stitched up heart - the elf ears are only when she plays dungeons and dragons. but the colored hair comes and goes. mixi is a wild card for sure. but they always seem to be having fun on and off stage. the newer music is a bit more polished but that’s the way new metal seems to go. same with too much screaming.

Thanks, Stu, for the follow-up. Like I said, I will give them a better listen, elf ears or not!

And glad to hear that Tora Tora are/were great live. I'd love to see them live.

Again, appreciate it.
