SEBASTIAN BACH On Kicking & Screaming - "There’s No Auto-Tune; It’s My Voice, Which Is A Classic Sound"
September 21, 2011, 12 years ago
Vocalist SEBASTIAN BACH is featured in a new interview with Peter Hodgson at Gibson.com discussing his new album, Kicking & Screaming. An excerpt from the story is available below:
Kicking & Screaming has an impressively modern feel, and it’s about as far from a throwback to the lighter pop-metal sound of SKID ROW’s debut as you’re likely to find, in both attitude and sonics. This is a 2011 album, not a 1989 one.
“Sebastian Bach recording a record in 2011, all of the technology has changed,” Bach says. “I can’t help but sound modern to an outsider’s ears. You guys have been listening to Skid Row albums like Slave to the Grind for 21 years, and those albums were recorded back when if we wanted to dub in a part, we literally had to take a razor blade and cut the tape, take another tape and, with Scotch tape, tape it in to the tape! That’s how those albums were made! There was no such thing as Pro Tools or quantizing the drum beat. There was nothing like that.”So with that in mind, Bach describes Kicking & Screaming as “A guy like me who’s used to recording the old way – which is really singing the notes, there’s no Auto-Tune with Sebastian Bach. That’s really me singing. But this is 2011 so it’s my voice, which is a classic sound, with the modern production.”
