As previously reported, ex-SKID ROW vocalist Sebastian Bach performed with BIG & RICH in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada on August 25th at Telus Field.'Video footage of Bach performing 'O Canada' and 'Youth Gone Wild' is available at the bottom of the page.
Bach is also featured in a new interview with Noisecreep.com's Karen Bliss. An excerpt from the story is available below.
Sebastian Bach is bringing his outlaw attitude to a place where it belongs -- country music. The perennial youth gone wild is feeling more kinship with that genre these days than the reunion acts from back when his metal band, Skid Row, sold millions of albums 20 years ago.
"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 (Aug. 25th) 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."
Rest assured, Bach is still working on a hard rock album with his solo project, Angel Down, collaborating with Hatebreed frontman Jamey Jasta and guitarist John 5 from Rob Zombie's band. But he's working on a country album, too. He has at least 10 songs in the can, although he's in no hurray to release it.
"It takes a long time for me to feel like I can put my name on a record," Bach says. "I hate to use that word 'country' because people have a weird idea. To me, my idea of country is Neil Young 'Old Man,' or Allman Brothers, or Willie Nelson 'Whiskey River' and stuff like that. I like outlaw country. I like the bad ass Waylon Jennings coke country [laughs], Leon Russell with long hair, f---ing partying [laughs]."Go to this location for the complete story.
