SEBASTIAN BACH Says New Biography "Could Make MÖTLEY CRÜE's The Dirt Look Clean"
August 23, 2012, 12 years ago
According to Gary Graff from Billboard.com, former SKID ROW singer SEBASTIAN BACH has been approached with "a very nice offer" to write an autobiography - and he's considering taking pen in hand to do it. "It seems like such an overwhelming project," notes Bach, who nevertheless is confident he has the goods to make the project work.
"Oh, my story is insanely insane," he adds. "I think I could do a hell of a book. I could make (MÖTLEY CRÜE's) 'The Dirt' look clean if I wanted to. Or it could also be a photo book of all the early Skid Row pictures that chicks from the Internet cannot get enough of, the pinups and stuff. Every time I put one of those on my web site, the Internet shuts down. I'd want to write it by myself; I look at Duff McKagan's book, Dee Snider's - they wrote those by themselves and they're amazing book. The main thing is it has to blow me away before I release it. It has to give me goose bumps or I won't put it out."Bach says he isn't on a timetable for the book - and he feels the same way about making a follow-up to his 2011 album Kicking & Screaming, which was Bach's first solo album in five years.
"The record company wants another album right now," he says. "They're very, very happy with Kicking & Screaming; 'Wow, that was killer. Let's do that again right now!' But I've got nothing right now. I'm sorry planet Earth. I think Kicking & Screaming sounds so good I'm in that position of, 'Omigod, how am I gonna top that one?!' Hopefully I'll snap out of that vibe soon, but I don't see right now how I can put together 13 tunes that are that good. I don't have anything lying around on my hard drive that sounds even close to that, so it's not going to happen any time soon. I wish it would, but it's not an easy thing to do."Read more at Billboard.com.
