SEBASTIAN BACH Hasn't Been In The Same Room With Former SKID ROW Bandmates In 23 Years, Because "They F@#cking Hate Me"

To celebrate the 30-year anniversary of Skid Row’s debut album, vocalist Sebastian Bach will be touring from late August through early November, and performing the album in its entirety with his solo band.

In June, Bach extended a public invitation to his former bandmates to join him onstage. So far, only one has accepted: drummer Rob Affuso, who left the band in 1998. Skid Row, which remains active, currently comprises guitarist Dave “The Snake” Sabo, bassist Rachel Bolan, guitarist Scotti Hill, drummer Rob Hammersmith and singer ZP Theart.)

Speaking with Billboard, Bach reveals he has not been in a room with his former bandmates (aside from Affuso) in 23 years because, he says, “they fucking hate me.” But he’s still hoping a reunion is in the cards someday. “For the fans, and for me as a fan, yes, I’d like to do it. My father died at age 57, and his father also died at 57 - and every time I go online, somebody in rock is dying or getting cancer or just getting too old to do it anymore. I don’t know if I’ll be around for the next 30 years, so why not do it while I’m still physically capable?”

What would it take to get to that point? “If they’d just let my manager, Rick Sales, take them out to dinner, the [original] band would be on the road again. But they don’t like dealing with managers. Unlike them, it is physically and mentally impossible for me to be mad at somebody for so long - 23 years! That’s like being mad at someone from grade school. But it’s a thin line between love and hate. I don’t love anything about the situation now with the band. But I love everything about when the album came out.”
