    Why does Noone in 30 years mention rob affuso? Bach mending fences would mean nothing. The 3 core members arent the same players since subhuman. They turned into a terrible wannabe punk band. They are aweful.

    Guys this is text book BAZ is an ego maniac you have to be if you’re a great front man. He doesnt believe those other guys are worthy of his ears hearing them. In his head he’s the best bar none hands down. He doesnt care about anyone but SEBASTIAN

    When Lizzy Hale filled in for whoever they had singing for them at the remainder of the tour last year he listened to her because he stopped following her, on whatever platform they follow on ( i don't do any of that bullshit), he unfollowed. They sounded PERFECT with her. She sounded as good as him. Think I liked her better actually. The ONLY person who could replace him would be a chick. A guy will always fall short by comparison.

    I don’t buy it. I think he’s intimidated by the last album with Erik. He’s well aware that a lot of old Skids fans loved Grönwall’s album and tour with them. With his attitude and the state of his voice, I don’t even want him back in the band and I’ve been there since Slave to the Grind first hit the shelves.

    First and foremost, I love Sebastian Bach! Bach was my idol as I was growing up! He was everything I wanted to be. When his time in Skid Row ended, I was heartbroken! It made me realise that I adored him more than the actual band itself. After Subhuman Race came out, 'til this day, I never bought another Skid Row record or digital download that wasn't from Sebastian's era! Trust me when I say this – Each time they had a new singer, you bet your life I always listened but I always came away disappointed with what I heard. When you have someone as iconic as Sebastian suddenly not be the main voice, it's hard to let go of what once was.. I would have had more respect for the remaining guys in Skid Row if they started something completely new. I do get why they didn't do that, however, as I said, you can't really replace Sebastian. The closest they ever came to doing that was with Eric, but his stage presence was terrible. Great voice, but didn't have the Bach factor on stage! This Lzzy Hale stuff didn't work for me at all, and if I'm honest, Linkin Park are in the same boat as Skid Row. Try as you might to replace the icon up front, you just can't do it! Sebastian Bach and Chester Bennington are irreplaceable. Their voices touched the hearts of millions! Every other replacement touched the hearts of a small minority who never knew what it was like to see these icons in their prime! I once met Sebastian Bach in 1995 after a Skid Row show in the UK. Bas stood in the street and spoke to me and a friend of mine for almost 2 hours! I'm going back to the days of 'Big Jim' when he was their security! Bas never once gave me the impression that things were wrong within the band, but when I look back upon that time, Rachel, Snake and Scotti just sat on their bus not really interacting with many fans at all. Bas was the life and soul of Skid Row and in my honest opinion, I really feel that every Sebastian Bach solo album has been better than ANYTHING he ever did with Skid Row.

    Sorry, not sorry but after Sebastián's "Eff America" rant and all of the nasty, vile, and disgusting things that he said about President Trump and all of his supporters over the years, I have ZERO interest in this loser. It's just inexcusable, and I dont think he deserves a platform or even having his name mentioned at this point. I remember the Guru also saying how done he was with Sebastián a few months back in the "Sebastián says Eff America" video. Even saying that you regretted buying his latest album. I feel like we're handling Sebastián with kid gloves now. I'm a HUGE, HUGE fan of your channel. I always have a blast watching your videos. I've learned about so many awesome bands that I missed back in the day. This is your first video that kind of lost me. Standing on principle, we should all continue to denounce the kind of hateful rhetoric that people like Sebastián spew. If Sebastián would actually make a sincere heartfelt apology to Americans, that kind of good will would go a long way, just like you mentioned. Until that day I don't feel he deserves anyone's time or sympathy. Jon Bon Jovi has very liberal democrat views, but he doesn't go about shitting on his conservative fans or saying eff America just because his candidate didn't win an election.

    BS no doubt. Agree with the Guru, Sebastian is big mouth moron. No one can withstand his attitude no way. Love their first two albums, but he was never good live not even in his heyday. Just listen to any live show from 1989 90, off pitch, out of tune. If he rejoined, doubt theyd make a big impact. My advice, keep on listening to their first two albums. Quality.

    Ive not listened to any skid row albums without seb….until they released Gangs all here – thats a great album. Still not heard the other non seb albums though. But he mustve of listened to them out of curiosity

    this is my thoughts..about Skid Row and the BS with Sebastian Bach, and yep a few wishful hopes…I think that Sebastian would have clicked on a few live recordings of Skid Row performing with all of there lead singers after him..and he would have his moments screaming at the screen and hanging shit on them and the members of Skid Row, and he has that right…i understand that Sebastian did do and say a few fucked up things in the past..the bottle drama, the aids shirt and the voice message on Snakes answering machine…but the main reason why Skid Row wont take Sebastian back into the band?….BON JOVI…Snake has been mates with JBJ since they were in high school..we all know that JBJ & Richie scammed the members of Skid Row getting paid royalties as there first album was blowing up in America and the world, to this day JBJ gets paid royalties when there three biggest hits 18 and Life, Youth Gone Wild and I Remember You are on radio or used in commercials or films etc..and as Skid Row were becoming a bigger band while still opening for Bon Jovi..JBJ felt the shift in popularity between the bands and he was pissed off..then the blues fired up…months later Skid Row release Slave To The Grind..and it blew up went #1..and Sebastian had the album to back up his mouth..he didn't hold back and dished it out mostly on stage giving Jon Von Blow Me the middle finger…ever since that shit started JBJ and Sebastian hate each other..and Snake basically bent over for JBJ instead of his own band mate and lead singer..Snake was and still is the middle man but he doesn't want to piss off his bestie JBJ and any future opportunities that JBJ may offer…i think this is the big deal why Skid Row wont bring back Sebastian…Snake would rather shit on his fans while JBJ has and still continues to shit on Skid Row…even Sebastian knows this is going on and thats why Sebastian can say what ever he wants about his ex band members..a SKID ROW REUNION would be a win for Skid Row, and Sebastian and most of all Skid Row fans world wide.. and it would give the band there first world tour in decades.. gone will be the 300, 500 to 1,200 club tours Skid Row and Sebastian have been playing at.., im not saying they would sell out 80,000 seat stadiums every night, but maybe they could play to a few in other countries, but they would be selling out between ten to 20,000 seat arenas thats a given…if they were to get a great manager and promotional staff behind them theres no reason a reunion would be a huge success..i know im dreaming and this is proof, but how great would it be if Skid Row & Sebastian actually planned everything to the T and even managed writing and recording say 4 or 5 new killer songs and added ten of there greatest songs or rerecorded and mixed on a new album ( just as Motley Crue did releasing there Red White and CRUE album for the tour 2005) then kick off the reunion tour..this is possible, mate when I went and saw GNR & Skid Row at Calder Park Raceway..they say there was 85,000 some say 100,000..and at 5pm Skid Row hits the stage and 85,000 metal heads lost there shit, the noise we made gelling with Skid Row was fuckin peaking, plus it was summertime and it was 45 degrees then it rained and stayed between 30-25 degrees alnight..and the crowd was fuckin lit..that was in 1993…and theres millions of Skid Row fans waiting for that dream tour to happen while we and them are still alive and 50 years younger to rock out at concerts…Snake has to stop being a loyal lapdog for JBJ and start being loyal to his army of loyal fans in the millions that i bet they only go back and listen to the first 3 Skid Row albums.. not saying the bands passed albums with other singers aren't any good , I think The Gangs All Here is grouse…but compared to Slave To The Grind, its pretty hard to top..not only for the song writing and the music, its main draw card is the magic man fronting the band, Sebastian Bach's vocals is and always will be
    the sound of Skid Row..so if anything, Sebastian and Snake and co need to fuck up and stop wasting time..right now life is way too short and I really want to see the original Skid Row line up, us fans have waited over 30 fuckin years,.. reunion tours work if management, promotions and the band are on the same page.. reunion tours that were successful, Motley Crue, KISS, Black Sabbath, GNR, The Eagles and most of those bands took up to 17 years to reunite, its been 30 years since Skid Row split..thats why a Skid Row reunion will bring out all the sleeper fans in the millions..if i had Doc's number id call him right now… never say never…and wow what a long comment..Jack Daniels and playing Skid Row songs will do that🤘😝🤘

    Some ppl really dgaf. I can honestly say I've never looked to see who an ex was dating or cared who got the job I left. The present moves to fast to waste time on the past.

    Sebastian is somewhat homeless without Skid Row. Their first two albums continue to be his meal ticket. Aside from the fact that he may not be able to hit the highest notes anymore, he really must have alienated the other four guys to an extreme level. The public would, without a doubt, love to see Sebastian fronting Skid Row again, but they have to live with him and, clearly, they do not want to.

    Lies, lol. Sebastian has heard every single singer and probably analyzed and compared. He's a very competitive and machisimo type of guy, so there's no other possibility. 🎸🎤🤟🏾🤟

    Let me say this Guru! When Baz said eff America he divided his fans. 3 days later he came to my town to our local theater. The show was close to sold out 1400 people and would have been had he not said what he said. But let me tell you this the crowd was not into the show and he was great. I'm not a fan of his new band especially only using one guitar player. Also, his son on the drums is just not Bobby in no way shape or form. You know Bobby the guy that now plays for George Strait played for Rob Halford and Sebastian. But you can tell that there was probably 3 or 400 people there that did not want to be there but we already had our tickets. I made my mind up at that point I've already seen this guy 12 times on his own not counting twice with Skid Row, I need don't see him again

    He may not have listened to the music with the different singers, but he sure listened and paid attention when Erik joined and the band was really getting talked about again. He paid attention so much that it wasn't him making a resurgence with them, that he took unwarranted jabs at Erik. Erik did nothing to him other than look up to him as a singer. He may not have listened, but he paid attention. Edit: Reading the comments he apparently has listened to the other singers. I wasn't buying it either though. lol
