Vocalist SEBASTIAN BACH is featured in an interview conducted last month with Metal-Rules.com. An excerpt is available below:

Q: What in your life are you most proud of, either personally or creatively?

Sebastian: "Creatively I was really proud of Jekyll and Hyde the musical because it was something totally different that I had never done. Personally, recently I gave up drinking alcohol which is a major life change that I had never tried to do before. Once I tried then I went on tour with GUNS N' ROSES and that was that. I'm feeling pretty proud that I’ve been off it about a month. It is difficult as it kind of goes with rock and roll which I have been doing all my life. I think though that maybe that is a copout to say that. You could be a doctor or a lawyer and still have a problem with alcohol or drugs. I think that it is a personal choice. As somebody very close to me mentioned 'Who still in your industry at your age really drinks a lot?' There is really not that many guys that I can name, they either die or just go to complete shit.They are not even worth going to see or listen to. It’s like Gregg Allman says in his book, 'Nobody listens to a drunk!'"

Q: What is the worst review that you have ever had either musically or acting-wise?

Sebastian: "I don’t know if this was the worst because it’s pretty funny. I will never forget when we played Jesus Christ Superstar in New Orleans at the Sanger Theatre. Old theatre and an amazing place, the newspaper review said in the first paragraph 'Just the simple fact alone Sebastian Bach is playing the part of Jesus Christ could be the first sign of the oncoming apocalypse.' We just read that and laughed, that is fucking funny. Then New Orleans got hit with the fallout a few years later."

Q: What is the best feeling in the world?

Sebastian: "I would say that the best feeling in the world is when you know deep down that you did your best. When you set a goal for yourself, and you accomplish that goal to the best of your ability no matter what it is. That is the feeling that nobody can ever take away from you. That is why I have always made my music for myself. I want to be so proud of it, that I want to shake you by the collar and say 'Listen to this, man!' That's from the first SKID ROW album up to Kicking and Screaming, and all the plays I’ve done. I want to be super proud of what I am doing. I like to be busy; I have a lot of energy. I don’t consider creating rock n' roll to be work. Working at the highway toll booth, that’s work. Music is just the ultimate feeling in your life."
