SEBASTIAN BACH Talks About His New Band, Upcoming Solo Album
November 6, 2003Former SKID ROW frontman Sebastian Bach recently spoke to Christa Titus of Billboard magazine about his new band BACH TIGHT 5 and the brand-new material he has written for his upcoming sophomore solo album, tentatively due in early 2004.
Regarding the musicians in his new band, Bach said, "I chose these guys basically how I chose SKID ROW back in '87. In 1987, I had a bunch of bands that wanted me to sing for them, and SKID ROW was just one of them. I had their tape of their original material, and the same feeling I had when I chose those guys back then is the same feeling I have with these guys. So I just go with my heart, try to make the best music I can, and I've been doing it for a long time now — 20 years.
When asked if he was nervous at all about bringing out new material live during the most recent run of dates, Bach said, "Not nervous, but it's a challenge to put brand-new music with music that has sold 20 million copies over the course of 10 years that everybody has burned into their brain. You have to be cognizant of how much those SKID ROW songs mean to people. 'I Remember You' and '18 and Life', they have a very big meaning for the fans. So to put other songs in with them, they better kick ass.
"Again, I chose those songs, 'Youth Gone Wild' and '18 and Life', when I was 18 because I loved them. I love these brand-new songs, and the new songs are going over just as good as the old ones. They really fit in good, and they flow together. The more we play them and the fans get used to them, it's really cool. I just like opening up with a brand-new song. To me, that's balls."
