band will open up for Guns n' Roses in the USA, September 20 e 21 in São
Francisco at the Warfield Arena. Both shows are already sold out. At these
shows, Sebastian will count with the bassist Steve DiGiorgio who wasn't able to
play with Baz on the Guns N' Roses European Tour.
Yesterday by the end of his show in Melbourne- Australia, Sebastian Bach stated:
"I wasn't supposed to tell you this but we're coming back to kick tour asses
with Guns N' Roses next year" This statement makes us believe that a World
Tour is on the way. Some facts that strenghten this rumours:
- In an interview to the Argentine newspaper Pagina 12, Sebastian said that
he would return tho that country very soon!
- Guns n' Roses Guitarrist, Richard Fortus, said in an interview that the band
will play in Brazil early 2007.
Combining the informations, we can conclude that Guns N' Roses will tour in
South America in 2007 and Sebastian may support them on some shows in this
continent!!!
Stay tuned for more info!!!
22/08/2006 -
- SKID ROW has set "Revolutions
per Minute" as the title of its new album, tentatively due on October 31 through
SPV Records. The follow-up to 2003's "ThickSkin" was recorded at WireWorld
studio in Nashville, Tennessee with producer Michael Wagener, who previously
worked with the band on their two most commercially successful albums to date, "Skid
Row" (1989) and "Slave to the Grind" (1991). Songtitles set to appear on the CD
include "Disease", "Strength", "Another Dick In The System", "White Trash", "Shut
Up Baby, I Love You" and "You Lie" (which is described in a press release as
"country rock").

31/07/2006 -
- Last night on the last show of
the Guns n' Roses European Tour at the Wembley Arena - London, Axl Rose left the
stage in the middle of the song Nightrain due to fadigue. Sebastian Bach who had
just been the opening act for the show and also a guest on My Michelle hit
the stage to finish the show singing Nightrain & Paradise City.
The day before the show, the band had played at the same venue making it's usual
set that has over twenty songs. After the show the band still played an acoustic
set at a club in London. Axl woke up very ill, with low blood pressure and
suffering from fadigue. A Doctor sugested that he should rest and postpone the
last show of the tour but Axl decided to make the show anyway. The band played a
smaller set, not including the new songs but Axl only resisted until Nightrain,
when Baz replaced him.
After a succesfull European tour that began on May with dozens of sold out
shows, the 44 year old singer will rest until September when the band makes a
couple of shows in the US. The release of the long awaited Chinese Democracy is
expected on that period.

Baz posted an article on his site
recently accusing the new Skid Row of using pictures from the time when he was
on the band in order to promote some shows in the USA! On the same article, Baz
said that the current Skid Row line-up only have 2 from the 5 original members (Bolan
& Scotti) and that those pictures were being used as a bait for the fans!
Replying to Baz, the band posted on it's site e-mails from the buyers of these
shows, asserting that what Baz is saying is not true and that no such pictures
are being used on the publishing of the shows!
The band also gave us an update about Snake's health. He is making physical
therapy to avoid surgery and he is temporarily alternating the position
of guitar player with Kerri Kelli! He is still in the band!
The band confirmed the release date for the new CD: October 2006
04/06/2006 -
- As posted on this very site two days ago, Sebastian's
band is going to open up for Guns N' Roses on thei European tour!! Along with
the tour dates, Baz posted a very nice comment about Axl on his site:
"Sometimes, in life, you make
true friends. A true friend is someone
whom you can see & then not see, but when you see them again, it is like no time
has passed at all. A true friend is someone whom you can laugh with, talk with,
hang out with, rock with, & confide in.Then there is the friend who gives you so
much, you can't express in words how much they mean to you. When I look back on
my life, I have to say that one of my true friends is Mr. W. Axl Rose. As
everyone now knows, when Guns 'N Roses made their triumphant return to New York
City a few weeks ago, Axl was cool enough to invite me onstage all 4 nights to
sing with him the Guns 'N Roses song of my choice, which happens to be 'My
Michelle'. During the NYC shows Axl asked me if I wanted to fly with him to
Europe to duet with him in England at Donington & Hammersmith. Of course I said
YES & then I mentioned to him the recording of the new CD 'Angel Down' & how
much it would mean for our band to open some Guns'N Roses shows.
Axl's response was to offer the band the
whole European tour.
To say that my mind is blown, or that I am thankful for this opportunity, is so
superfluous. I really cannot express how much this means to me. Axl Rose is the
most honest, genuine, straight-up, & talented person I have ever met in this
business, & for him to give my band the chance to rock in front of all his fans
is something I will never forget. He is now singing better than ever! My
personal favorite new Guns N' Roses song is I.R.S.. Last night I jammed with him
at ROCK AM RING in Germany in front of 70,000 people after a 2 day plane journey
which put me in 4 countries in 1 day ! It is gonna be a truly killer summer
playing on tour with GUNS 'N ROSES & recording the new CD as well !!! See ya
soon Europe & Japan!"

13/05/2006 -
- Sebastian Bach hit the stage this Friday with Axl Rose on the Guns N' Roses
return after 4 years of inactivity!! They played the song "My Michelle"!!
The rumors about Baz hitin' the stage with Axl first appeared after Baz got
invited by Axl himself to join the band on a rehearsal and do some jams!! The
rumors got stronger when Axl conceded an interview on Eddie Trunk show along
with Baz!!!
As soon as the mp3 is available I will post the link!!
06/05/2006 -
- Yesterday on Eddie Trunk's show Sebastian said that he
received a phone call from Axl Rose this week inviting him to rehearse and do
some jams with the new GNR. The band is in New York rehearsing fot the upcoming
shows in town! Baz showed up on time but Axl only arrived by the end of the
rehearsal!! They are going to meet again this weekend!!
There is a possibility of Baz being a guest star in one of the New GNR shows in
New York this month!
08/04/2006 -
- Sebastian Bach's upcoming
solo CD with the provisory name of "Angel Down" will be released in September.
The delay of the release is due to the fact that Spitfire Record changed it's
distribution to Sony/BMG, this way more copies of the CD will be printed!
07/03/2006 -
- Only a few days have passed since "Supergroup" started to be filmed but Baz
already got involved in a fight!! It seems that the fight was with Evan Seinfeld
(BioHazard) but the reasons of the incident haven't been anounced yet, since the
show only premiers on May at Vh1!
The show's goal is to let the 5 rock stars confined in a house for two weeks and
film they 24h a day (Big Brother style!) During this period in the house, the
musicians have to write songs for an upcoming album called "Damnocracy"!
03/03/2006 -

Scotti Ian, Jason Bonham and
Evan Seinfeld in a project called "Damnocracy"! The band will make two shows
this weekend in Las Vegas. The band is also going to star a reality show on VH1
called Supergroup. The guys are living in a house and shooting the show that
will premier on May 18th!
Baz posted this on his website about the subject:

- Sebastian Bach
recorded a track for the upcoming CD of the american Christian rock band, Liberty
n' Justice. The song is called "Another Nail" and it will be part of the CD
called "Soundtrack of a Soul". The CD is to be released until April. This is
going to be the first Sebastian released work this year.
04/12/2005 -
- Dave Snake Sabo has a serious in
his hands will have to be operated on.
Snake has what the Doctors call the "Carpal Tunnel Syndrome". The Carpal Tunnel
is a rigid way where 9 tendons pass through. The Tunnel extends from the forearm
to the fingers. The syndrome consists on an wear of the Tunnel due excessive and
repetive work using the hands and wrist.
The operation on the Tunnel generally causes some loss of the wrist's movements
and weakens the hand, since the Tunnel is cut during the operation. As a result
of this, it's most likely that Snake Sabe will have to quit his professional
carreer as a guitar player.
Skid Row still have some shows schedueled and Snake was temporarily replaced by
the guitarrist Kerii Kelli.
Let's hope and pray that everything goes well with Snake and that he overcome
this problem and return to play with Skid Row someday!!
26/11/2005 -
- Like Sebastian said at the end of the show in Rio, Metal Mike left the band in
order to dedicate his time to the record process of Rob Halford's next solo
album. Metal Mike will be replaced by "Accept" guitarrist, Wolf Hoffman, that
already worked with Sebastian during the record of Bring 'em Bach Alive (Wolf
and Baz are the authors of the song "Rock N' Roll"). Wolf will hit the stage
tonight with Sebatian in Poughkeepsie, NY.
Metal Mike is really busy! Besides playing with Baz and Halford, he and Bobby
Jarzombek have a band called PainmuseuM, and they already have some shows
schedueled to early 2006. Metal Mike guaranteed that he is going to record
Sebastian's new album. "So, with Bach - yeah I’ll tour and record with Bach -
because he’s a world class singer and he rips on stage and he’s a pure guy.
Besides, the amount of women we get at each show is fucking unbelievable and its
all hell breaking loose at all times. I like that and I like him as a person.
Outside that, the guys that are helping him out in the band are friends of mine
which makes the travel and the long hours worth it, and its a real bonding
experience. Its different than my past experiences. ...The new solo CD is taking
place, it will be out early next year. I’m writing for it of course. ...I think
people will enjoy Sebastian signing some real Metal. I think he was always a
step ahead of the Skid Row guys, as if they were not heavy enough for him. I
don’t know - we’ll see. I think it will be really good. - stated Metal Mike
recently on an interview.
19/11/2005 -
- Sebastian Bach and his band made an
incredible show in Rio last Tuesday!! I was there and as far as I can tell, the

soon as I have the time I'll translate it into english. I'll also put some
pictures of the show that i took myself!! Check out some pictures on the
portuguese news page of this site!

Yngwie Malmsteen, and George Lynch.

12/10/2005 -
- Sebastian Bach put on his website
some rough mixes from Frameshift 2 available for download. He assets that he isn't
100% proud of the album because some songs were too modified on the final mix,
without his approval. "Now it is very common practice to take a lead vocal track
& put it through a computer to make it sound absolutlely perfect. To remove each
& every breath." - said Baz quoting the song "I Killed You", one of the most
modified songs according to him. The other songs are Push The Button, This is
Gonna Hurt and In an Empty Room. He also said that the rough mixes have
something to offer that the CD versions ultimately do not.
08/10/2005 -
- Sebastian posted an article
on his website talking about the upcoming Bach Tigh 5 shows in Brazil. "I am
proud to announce that we are playing 4 gigs in November in New Jersey, New
York, & for the first time ever I get to bring my solo band to Brazil! I have
had some incredible shows in my career in the country of Brasil & to bring Metal
Mike, Steve DiGiorgio, Bobby Jarzombek & Johnny Chromatic with me to conquest
yet another country is something which I am truly looking forward to. On this 4
show jaunt we will be playing some brand new tunes from the upcoming CD which we
are tentatively set to begin recording on December 15! We will also be touching
on almost all periods of my recording career, from Skid Row to solo material to
Frameshift 2 material to as-yet-unreleased songs. Can't wait to see you all LIVE
next month !!!" - said Baz.

- It's confirmed!
Sebastian will play on Brazil in November!!
The last time he came here was in 1996 with Skid Row at the Mosters of Rock
Festival, the band played in Rio and São Paulo. It was a desastrous trip for the
band! In São Paulo, the band was nearly kicked off the stage by the Iron Maiden
fans (Headline of the night), several objects were thrown at the stage and the
crowd booed at the band the whole show! The show in Rio had a better reception,
however, very cold! Nine years have passed since that incident, now Sebasian
will return to Brazil with his band Bach Tight 5. The setlist is composed of
Skid Row classics and some new songs. The band have been playing Blade from
Frameshift 2 as well.
It is time for us to show to him how much we dig his music! Let's rock the
shows!!
