SEBASTIAN BACH - "My Apologies To The Classical Purists Out There; I Should Have Called Myself 'Hank Shakespeare'"
August 1, 2014, 10 years ago
Vocalist Sebastian Bach is featured in a new interview with the Nanaimo Daily News. A few excerpts from the story are available below:
On making a name for himself... literally: "It was 1985, and it was Johann Sebastian Bach's 300th birthday and every newspaper - the Toronto Star, is right in my face, 'Sebastian Bach, Sebastian Bach,' and it's only a few letters different than my name, and I liked the way it sounded. The last thing I ever thought would happen would be that I would actually make it. My apologies to the classical purists out there. I should have called myself 'Hank Shakespeare'."
On former band Madam X: "I was the older womens' play toy, and I loved it, every second of it. Every boy's dream. All the older ladies loved that I was very androgynous. Not too many men were more androgynous than Sebastian Bach."
On his live show in 2014: "There's nothing acoustic or soft about this show. Don't come expecting anything less than a jackhammer between your eyes. This is metal, give 'em hell, the tour of hell. We're not mellowing out at all."
