Former Skid Row vocalist Sebastian Bach, who now has a successful solo career, recently spoke with the Silver Tiger Photography & Media Community about being fired from his former band, and his plans for the future. Check out the interview below.

Bach recently announced live dates for Australia and New Zealand this September as part of his 18 And Live World Tour 2015. He recently spoke with Triple M 105.1 in Australia about the upcoming trek and his career in music. An excerpt from the interview is available below:

Sebastian Bach often hears how much fans miss him in Skid Row. The rocker was unceremoniously fired from the band in 1996 and has since carved a solo career, releasing three studio albums and enjoying various stints on reality television.

“I get it all the time, but I don’t miss those days at all,” Bach told Triple M's Jane Gazzo. “I don’t walk around in 2015 missing 1989. I don’t know anybody that does!”

Despite not missing the band that launched his career, Bach states that on tour he still plays the songs that made him famous.

“I have about five or six hit songs that I always have to do, but apart from that I decide on the night what I play. But those Skid Row songs I play every night. That’s my job. I’m a saloon singer like Frank Sinatra.”
