Vocalist SEBASTIAN BACH is featured in a new interview with Jeb Wright at Classic Rock Revisited discussing his new album, Give 'Em Hell. An excerpt is available below:

Jeb: Dude, you remade 'Rock N’ Roll Is A Vicious Game' by APRIL WINE. I am the biggest April Wine fan in the world. Why did you choose that song?

Sebastian: "Well, cool. I chose that song because of the lyrics. I specifically chose that song to sing because I’ve been doing this for twenty or thirty years now, and I meet so many young musicians. Actually, not even musicians, but young people that get into rock and roll and one thing that I have found nowadays, is that these young people that I meet or work with, have this huge sense of entitlement. Just because they play in a rock band, they don’t understand why they don’t have a mansion, or a fucking helicopter, and they whine and moan. I am like, 'Isn’t it a pity. Isn’t it a shame? No one ever warned the boy, rock and roll is a vicious game.'"

Jeb: The last time I talked with ZAKK WYLDE he was telling me these young bands are like, “I think we will just do what BLACK LABEL SOCIETY did. That would be cool.” He was like “Fuck you. I worked twenty years on BLS.”

Sebastian: "Exactly. You know, I think it has something to do with technology. I will record in the studio with younger guys and I will sing the first chorus to a song and they will look up at me and they will go, 'You’re done.' I am like, 'What?' They go, 'We’ve got it. We are just going to cut and paste from here.' I tell them, 'No we’re not.' I’ve actually gotten in arguments with kids telling me that they don’t have time to sing the whole song. I am like, 'You sit the fuck down and let me take you to fucking school. This isn’t about cut and paste; this is about fucking rock and roll.'

I meet a lot of musicians that are very talented, but it is hard for them to get to the lobby at eight in the morning to get to the airport. It doesn’t matter how talented you are if you can’t be on time, or be dependable. I don’t see what the point is of practicing in your room your entire life and then missing the flight to the gig. That shit doesn’t work with me. If I tell you I am going to play, then nothing is going to stop me. I just consider myself lucky and that song, the lyrics, are kind of directed to people who have a big sense of entitlement. We’re very lucky to do this for a living. That really is why I chose that song."

Bach recently debuted the new video for 'All My Friends Are Dead', dedicated to a number of fallen hard rock/heavy metal musicians that we lost way too soon.

Produced, mixed and recorded by Bob Marlette (BLACK SABBATH, ALICE COOPER) and mastered by Tom Baker (NINE INCH NAILS, ROB ZOMBIE), Give 'Em Hell features writing and playing by very special friends and guest stars: Duff McKagan (VELVET REVOLVER, GUNS N' ROSES), John 5 (MARILYN MANSON, Rob Zombie) and Steve Stevens (BILLY IDOL). Rounding up the lineup on the album are Devin Bronson on guitars and Bobby Jarzombek on drums.
