Sebastian Bach, 'What Do I Got To Lose' -- New Track, Video

Sebastian Bach is releasing a new album in 2024! The first track from that album is "What Do I Got To Lose." This is going to be a great album! The video open made me chuckle and Bach's voice and those guitar chords are freaking badass. Everything I need in my life.

The Best Skid Row Cover Of All Time: Asking Alexandria

Back in 2010, my beloved Asking Alexandria released an album featuring two Skid Row covers. The Life Gone Wild EP includes "Youth Gone Wild" and "18 and Life." AA's take on "Youth Gone Wild" is a longtime favorite of mine. It's been on my running playlist for years now.

Asking Alexandria performed "Youth Gone Wild" with Sebastian Bach in 2011:

A Little Damn Yankees Surprise

Sebastian Bach jumped on stage with Night Ranger a few days ago to perform the Damn Yankees classic "High Enough." Both acts were sharing the bill that night in Toledo, Ohio.

Jack Blades always sounds good. Of course, "High Enough" really needs the power of Tommy Shaw's vocals too. Damn Yankees existed back in the good old days before Ted Nugent was a complete, insurrectionist wacko.

But back to the surprise duet! Bach started a little rough but really picked up as the song went on. The show was June 24. Toledo is probably three hours from my house... I wish I had been there!

And the wonderful original. Those sunglasses are cringe, though! (Yes, all of them!)

Sebastian Bach Takes A Good-Natured Slap

Sebastian Bach does a lot of Cameo clips. Those are video messages that people pay for as gifts to others. Anyway, Bach seemingly did a Cameo to... himself yesterday for his birthday. It included a slap, an "announcement" that he is not in Skid Row and more. I have to say, I was amused. Click the video inside the tweet to see the slap!

ANNOUNCEMENT! Hey! WE'RE GETTIN' THE BAND BACK TOGETHER! Cya this Sunday Las Vegas!! Residency??? @Suzanne_Le @craiggasscomedy @5FDPChrisKael@paparoach @RockFantasyCamp@VampdVegas Happy Birthday to ME!!! https://t.co/MzDTsRko1c

Sunday's Best: Week 8, 2022

Skid Row will release a new album this year and a new song will probably come out next month. That news is from guitarist Snake Sabo in a recent interview. The news that we are finally getting some new Skid Row tunes made me think back to some of the best live performances by Skid Row. That's our Sunday's Best for this week.

When Skid Row played Wembley Stadium in 1991, it was near magic. A huge crowd and then-vocalist Sebastian Bach was at his prime. "I Remember You" is still just about the best power ballad from the era... at least, in my opinion.

"Youth Gone Wild" at the Moscow Peace Festival, 1989. Bach himself commented on performing at this show when Russia attacked Ukraine overnight Thursday.

"Monkey Business" at Rocklahoma 2009, featuring then-vocalist Johnny Solinger (RIP). I remember this set really well - I was down front with Kari for it and it was about 100 degrees! I liked this song in particular because of the guitar solos.

Holy hell! I saw Gallogs comment and I had to look up the SNL performance. It is killer. I honestly don't remember seeing it before. I'm sure I probably have, but 1991 was a long time ago. This performance of "Monkey Business" is just straight, heavy rock. Amazing.

Sebastian Bach Does CNN Interview

This was a lot of fun! Sebastian Bach appeared on CNN's New Day yesterday to talk about his COVID-19 diagnosis and to advocate for the vaccine. I like how the interview began with a classic Skid Row clip.

"Don't Florida my Fauci!" says Skid Row ex-singer (also of Gilmore Girls fame) Sebastian Bach. He contracted covid but credits the vaccine for his mild case.

"Get the vaccine," Bach says. "Like, you don't want polio, right, so you get the vaccine for that. You don't want covid." pic.twitter.com/ugsdwZU5Hk
