SEBASTIAN BACH WANTS YOU TO KNOW HE’S NOT HUNG UP ON THE PAST

Monday, August 31st, 2009 at 1:30pm by Axl Rosenberg

Here’s an interesting little piece that Noisecreep ran last week:

“For some reason, Skid Row fans or my fans are so hung up on these three or four tunes that I did a billion years ago,” says Bach, on the phone from the airport, while on his way to a gig tonight (Aug. 25) in front of 20,000 people at Telus Field in Edmonton, Alberta — where he will join country music duo Big and Rich onstage.

“I don’t get it. I completely don’t understand it because when I made it in rock, I said, ‘This is f—ing great. Now I can make music the rest of my life.’ Some people just wanna make the same record over and over again for the rest of their life, and that’s just not me. That’s totally not me.”

And here’s the performance Bach gave with Big and Rich that very night:

Look, Baz: your entire career is dependent upon people being hung up on the past. I know. You know it. Everyone knows it. It’s fine. A lot of dudes from your era are in the same boat. We won’t judge. Make your money, feed your family, whatever. Just don’t pretend you’re on the cutting edge, m’kay? Good.

Glad we had this little talk. Now I’m gonna go blast Slave to the Grind.

    He needs to go bach to the future…

  2. groverXIII says:

    For some reason he seems to think he’s still relevant. Someone should disavow him of that notion.

  3. Fufkin says:

    If it wasn’t for the first two Skid Row albums, the fans would have turned their bachs on him years ago.

  4. Doombot says:

    You guys are a bunch of bach-stabbers

  5. Dilznoofus says:

    He should quit whining and get on a Gilmore Girls reunion to do another “Holla Back” cover. Or should I say, “Holla Bach?”

    “Big and Rich” minus “ig nd Ri” = “Bach”

    Coincidence? I think not.

    Good post! Yea, he doesn’t get it, and yes, it sucks that no one cares about what he does anymore, but he just bitches about it ALL the time. It’s not gonna change, no one other than people who liked the first two Skid Row albums will ever care about you, etc. Let it go dude…

  11. “For some reason, Skid Row fans or my fans are so hung up on these three or four tunes that I did a billion years ago,”

    I knew this dude was getting up there in age….but damn, to think that he’s over a billion years old and still looks that young just amazes the shit out of me.

  12. Sammy says:

    Yeah Sebastian, that’s why you haven’t changed your hair or wardrobe in 25 years…because you’re so much about the present.

  13. Sammy says:

    Not to mention the song he sang at this particular show is FROM THE PAST and has in the chorus, “REMEMBER YESTERDAY”.

  14. crapper says:

    why all the bachlash

    …sorry

  15. Oh lord, what in the hell! This makes me sick to my stomach, seriously. Good lord, so much to say, fingers not working. This is what is happening to our industry, this right here.
