SEBASTIAN BACH, the former lead vocalist of SKID ROW, recently did an interview with The Classic Metal Show. During the interview, the subject of his ability to write songs and his former band’s claims that he didn’t write, was discussed. During this exchange, Bach vehemently denied this allegation and even proclaimed 'I am Skid Row.' To download a copy of the interview, go to this location.

The Classic Metal Show: With Angel down, you put down a whole lot of rumors that were out there. I don’t want to say they were started by your past band, because I don’t know where I heard them from to be honest. I just remember reading that you couldn’t write songs, to you couldn’t sing anymore. You’ve clearly put all of that stuff to bed.

SEBASTIAN BACH: "Yeah, well, Those guys are liars for one thing. To say that I don’t write songs is such a hilarious thing to say. All you’ve got to do is look at the back of the records to see who wrote the songs. It’s like, I don’t know what to say. When I walk around the house with a Dictaphone in 1991, you know a little tape deck, humming the riff to 'Slave To The Grind', going 'Here’s a cool riff.' Then I go into the rehearsal room and I go, 'Hey, play this. Here’s a drum beat (makes drum beat). Here’s a fuckin’ melody (sings the melody).' How the fuck is that not writing a song? I wrote 'Wasted Time'; every single word of the song. It’s just weird that they would say that, because they know that it’s not true. Here’s the deal. Those guys in that band, all they ever say is how they hate me and they hate the old band and we never got along. That’s a real brilliant marketing strategy. Let’s be Skid Row and tell everybody how much we hate Skid Row. That’s a great idea. What the fuck? I LOVE Skid Row. I AM Skid Row! I can guarantee you that of all five guys in that band, the original lineup, I’m the only one walking down the street where people pull their car over and yell 'Hey, Skid Row motherfucker! Yeah! Alright! Yeah! Right on, dude! Skid Row!' I can guarantee you that none of them get that, ever! I get it everywhere I go, and will until the day I die. I’m the one that has people hanging out of their windows screaming 'Skid Row', or walking through the mall going, 'hey, fuckin’ Skid Row, dude.' I can guarantee you that none of those other guys get that, 100%. I can’t leave the house without that happening at least a couple of times a day. I can’t even go in my driveway without people screaming that shit. “Skid Row, dude! Yeah!!!' You can call it what you want, but when you listen to ANGEL DOWN, and then you listen to the stuff they put out without me, you can hear who the rock N’ roll fan is. You know, I’m not going to release a country single any time soon. I’m not going to release a punk rock version of '18 And Life' fuckin’ any time fuckin’ soon. That’s for sure. That’s not me, dude. I think it sounds good the way it is."
