Vocalist SEBASTIAN BACH is featured in a new interview with Classic Rock Revisited founder Jeb Wright. An excerpt is available below:

Jeb: You have made Sebastian Bach a brand; there is Bach the TV guy and there is Bach the guy in Skid Row. Musically, you have not been able to get the same musical notoriety that you have as you did with SKID ROW. Is that frustrating to you?

Sebastian: "It is frustrating but at the end of the day, the cream rises to the top. Music is the most long lasting art form. When you watch a TV show and it goes off the air, you don’t think about it. TV doesn’t haunt your brain the way that music does. You can put on VH1 Classic, right now, and I guarantee you that today you will see “18 and Life,” “Youth Gone Wild” or “Monkey Business.” Those songs have lasted over twenty years and they still get played all over the world today -- twenty years after they were released. Television is a disposable art form. Music is in your heart forever and ever. It is frustrating for me but the satisfaction for me is knowing that if I were to get hit by a truck tomorrow, Kicking & Screaming would be a huge fucking record because, at the end of the day, people want to put it onto their iPod and listen to it.

At this point, I don’t think it matters so much if it is Skid Row or Sebastian Bach. I think what matters is if the song kicks ass. When I crank up OZZY OSBOURNE’s 'I Don’t Know' or 'Over The Mountain' or 'Believer' I don’t care that he is not in BLACK SABBATH anymore. I have the Sabbath records and I have the Ozzy records and I like them both.

I think Nick Sterling and I are very much along the same lines as Ozzy Osbourne and RANDY RHOADS. We are the same age difference. He is a great guitar player like Randy and I’m a drunken, crazy motherfucker like Ozzy [laughter]. I’ve been looking for my Randy Rhoads my whole life and I think I’ve found him. It sounds like I’ve found him. I have been on the road with Nick for a couple of years and I really love playing with Nick. It is very exciting. It is more exciting than doing a reunion tour that is just playing old songs. Making new music, to me, is always going to be more interesting than just playing old stuff over and over."

Jeb: I understand your point of view but I would love to see a Skid Row reunion.

Sebastian: "It would be a different thing if the guys in Skid Row said, 'Let’s make a record and go out and support it.' That would be totally different to me but nobody is saying that. All I’m hearing is, 'Lets do a reunion tour.' I am not interested in that. Making a new Skid Row record would be exciting. I said that to one of the promoting agents once and he said, 'Sebastian, don’t ever say that again.' I said, 'Why?' He goes, 'You guys would get in a fight about the record and then the tour would never happen.' I am like, 'What the fuck are we doing this for?' It seems like the tail is wagging the dog.

Jeb: I have to say this, in your career you’ve fucked up a lot in public.

Sebastian: "Everything I do is in public. If your friend that’s a plumber gets in a fight in a bar then it is not going to be in the newspaper. If I get in a fight in a bar then it is in the newspaper and all over the internet. I don’t think I’ve fucked up anymore than any 43-year-old dunderheaded dude tripping around the USA, but everything I do is in public. I can’t even take out the garbage without people -- I can’t even take out the garbage now at all -- but when I used to have to take out my garbage, I would tell myself, 'Okay, here we go' and I would lug my garbage cans out and every time it would be, ‘honk honk’ 'SKID ROW! YOUTH GONE WILD!' I’d be like, 'I’m taking out my garbage for fucksake.' I understand what you’re saying but a lot of guys get in fights in bars."
