- Vocal Coach Reacts To Skid Row - Sebastian Bach - I Remember You - Live - Ken Tamplin
Today we’re taking it back to the 80s with heavy metal band Skid Row.
Word is that frontman Sebastian Bach was spotted singing at rock photographer Mark Weiss's wedding by Jon Bon Jovi's parents who suggested that he try out for their son's friend's (Dave Sabo) band.
Their first two albums were a HUGE success and by 1996 the band had sold 20 million albums worldwide.
Following disagreements over musical material, Bach was fired from the band in 1996 but multiple sources have also indicated that he had left the band due to the rest of the group believing they should not play as an opening act for KISS. The rift between Bach and the other band members subsequently led to his leaving Skid Row.
The song “I Remember You” was a power ballad written by bandmates Rachel Bolan and Dave "the Snake" Sabo. It reached number six on the US Billboard Hot 100 and in a 2007 interview, Sebastian Bach commented, "'I Remember You' was the #1 prom song in the United States of America in the year 1990”.
After Skid Row replaced Bach with new lead singer Johnny Solinger, they recorded a second version of the song in 2003 entitled "I Remember You Two."
Today I’ll be reacting to a live performance of Sebastian’s version, hope you enjoy it!

I always like Sabastians tone but he always struggled live to get the same effect. His lifestyle had a lot to do with it. This is during a time when there was not a lot of vocal coaches helping out. They would have been too proud to ask for help or stoned I should say. Also He set the bar really high on these lp's to produce this live night after night especially with drugs and alcohol playing a factor made it damn near impossible. I was a singer during this time and played in many bands and never did the drugs and alcohol and I can still sing all the things I did 30 yrs ago and you can tell the same is with Ken that's why he can do what he does and makes it look effortless. Also way too much Chorus on this live performance. delay and reverb would have been ok by itself but that chorus is over the top. When you perform these types of songs with this much difficulty you must pace yourself through your set Hydrate is so important. water not Jack, vodka, Jim Beem, You can tell that Sebastian trashed his voice by listening to him today. The guy could sing but didn't know how to sing correctly and now his voice has suffered.
So sebastian cant sing?? Lol
Listen to his Moscow video...
Well, he is what, 25 years old, probably never had a vocal teacher, hard life style, rough touring and he still makes it work semi well. Still impressive to me.
He was vocal coached, but he didnt follow the rules..and alot of singer back in the day had their own vocal coaches...Eric from Mr Big, Mark Slaughter etc
Couple of points, if I may. One, in the video Skid Row are classed as an LA band, when in fact they were from New Jersey. Sebastian being Canadian. Minor point. Second, Sebastian has had too much vocal training these days and has lost the edge from his voice. It isn't as heartfelt as it was and the vibrato sounds false, it was the fact that it drew you in that was so great. Since he did the West End stuff it sounds fake. I was at that Wembley gig on 31 August 1991 along with upwards of 80,000 others, and I can promise you not one person there cared one bit that he was a bit pitchy.... I think he was actually 19 or so at the time and opening for Guns n' Roses at their prime and the peak if their career - and they totally stole the night away from Axl. I have seen him both on and off form, with Skid Row and solo,, and he is a showman. Scoff on CZcams but in the moment when you're watching it live it doesn't matter
He sang his throat out for all of us. That's all that really matters when you think about it. Kind of like Steven Perry. He helped Millions maybe billions of people make love for decades, then he gets throat cancer. These guys sacrificed every ounce of everything they ever had to make us feel it. Sebastian Bach is an incredible frontman and entertainer. And his attitude is still phenomenal I don't care what anybody thinks. He still has spirit, and it's all that matters. Truly a legend of the time.
Who got throat cancer? Steve Perry?
"He helped Millions maybe billions of people make love for decades"
Wow, I dunno what to say, should we blame him for the world overpopulation? LoL :-)
Steve Perry never got throat cancer lol, His Mom had throat cancer. He was photographed there and the rumors started from there. He talks about this on Jonsey's Jukebox Radio interview- its here on youtube. He said his family was calling from south america crying lol. He took care of his mom until she passed, then his life partner passed away from a brain tumor (I think?) & he made her a promise to start singing again & is back at it now...

I agree. I am sad and will forever be that I wasn't atleast a teen in that time ... to experience these greats. It makes me pretty depressed to see this compared to concerts nowadays. No one watching, staring from their phone recording. Steve Perry I absolutely adore as well as Bach, beautiful voices with such desperation and passion. Everytime I watch one of these .. I'm stuck for hours .. then have to watch his amoeba records clip!
Steve Perry had melanoma, not throat cancer, and his girlfriend died of cancer around the same time.
Pretty tough to nail this song in the studio never mind live, especially after playing day after day. The studio version still has some of the best vocals I’ve heard.
Ken, I know you are a professional, but in Sebastian's defense...I heard him sing this song live when he was touring with Bon Jovi. It was perfect and the whole stadium was mesmerized. Needless to say, I remembered it! I still watch this concert all the time on You Tube and am still mesmerized by him even though this song wasn't quite up to par, the Band put on a great show and I can overlook a tired voice. I still can't get over his performance of "Monkey Business"! One for the history books! I wish we had Front men and Bands like the old days! Great times and memories! 😉
I saw him on the Bon Jovi tour as well, 1989! My sister took me for my birthday. I couldn't believe Sebastian was even real - those looks, that range...jeez! I haven't fallen out of love with him since.
I love skidrow.. Him... cory taylor... Layne Staley chris Cornell my all time favorites along with phillip anselmo... Maynard james Keenan
Classical music singers have a perfect technic but they are kind of boring... This "Bach" is about technical abilities, charisma, good looks and so on... He rocks in every sense of the word.
Jana Corbell I saw him on the Bon Jovi tour also and his voice was top notch. I went and bought the cd the day of the show. I had never heard of them until that day, Bach is awesome
One of the greatest voices ever i saw Skid Row twice in the early 90's
Sebastian is one of the best singers that come out in the late 80s.
Hell, yeah! Personally, I'd put Sebastian Bach in the top 10 vocalists of all time without question. Another guy who belongs in that category is the much lesser known Miljenko Matijevic. Between him and Bach, it doesn't get much better for pure vocal talent.
*was. Imo
Damned straight
Best ever
Wrong....he is the best singer of all time! Dio, Halford and Dickinson are great, but they don't capture the beauty that Sebastian does, with that angelic voice. I saw them on the Slave tour. Amazing! Then again a few years ago. He's not what he used to be, but not too many people can compete. Even to this day. Sebastian does use a lot of echo, but I ask the KJ to turn the echo up for me at karaoke, so I can't blame him there! 😂 lol.
My favorite singer! The man has breath for days, can sing, can scream, and he can still do it!
He's amazing. What blows my mind is that he can still do the songs in their original keys, which way too many aging rockers can't. And though they're not quite as pretty as they once were, he can still hit those high notes today.
Don't worship these guys? I have to disagree there.. I'll stop worshipping these guys when musicians today can even come close to bands from those times! SB was exhausted.., and still rocks it. Bands today... Nope. Not even close. They all sound amazing.. On record, live, ALWAYS!
my thought exactly!
@@MrNinjastab 30 years later... only a few are able to sing for that long.
Myles Kennedy of Alter Bridge is about the same age as Sebastian, and still sounds amazing live. He's one of the best vocalists in rock right now, he still kills...
@@jonnyquest8774 but he is not singing since 30 years
Bluesman 78 he was in bands 30 years ago, and was singing/playing. He just wasn’t famous early on like Sebastian was. He has taken care of his voice and himself a lot better than Sebastian has over the years.
Sebastian Bach said recently on how he improved his singing, “When I get ready to go on tour, I warm up to Steve Perry's incredible singing and it's helped me expand my range over the years, as you can hear on my last couple of studio records."
Did he really say he warmed up to Steve Perry? That's awesome Steve Perry is my favorite rock vocalist ever and Bach is in the top 5 right beside Jimie Jamison of Survivor and the guy from Steelheart.
Was in my mid teens when these bands were in their prime. A great time to be alive!
motleydude73 👍
never again will the world rock like this
I agree and I am struggling with that having grown up with this and still having it in my veins I don’t know how to deal. It feels like true rock has died and I can’t live in a world like that man
few had the vocals of Sebastian Bach in these days.
@jokrj listen to demos like Love Comes Down, still I cannot believe how he can sing so high throughout all the song
Sebastian Bach is the BEST!!!!!!!!!
Geoff Tate.... that is all.
I saw Soundgarden open for Skid Row in 1992. I was there for Soundgarden, but was a great show all around. Cornell and Bach on the same stage at one point!Vocal tsunami that night!
I was at that gig as a fresh faced 15 year old kid, and Seb ran himself ragged across the stage for the full set, so much energy. The fact that he'd run out of gas a little by then really wasn't surprising. Rock n roll isn't all about perfect notes. It would be dull if it was.
Also, I don't think Scotti used Mesas, think it was ADA MP-1 and Riveras from a brief conversation I had with him a few years back.
Correct regarding Scotti's amp setup.
Sebastian can do whatever he wants live IMO; his studio work was phenomenal. I'd put his vocals on In a Darkened Room up there with anything that's ever been recorded.
Or wasted time towards the end. Absolutely unbelieveable
Quicksand Jesus vocals we're awesome also.
nofam i prefer Wasted Time
Yep, the whole "Slave to the Grind" album is mind blowing. In my opinion is the best vocal performance on a Metal album that I have ever heard. It is so insane, he does absolutely everything with his voice on the whole album.
Agree. the vocal color in that song is fantastic
Sebastian is one of the best singers of all time..... that’s just how it is
I'm sorry. But no! Hot as hell. He "could" have been.... but he was just not the best ever. But it is subjective I guess.
He isn't one of the best, you judge the best by how good they are live, I seen skid row when they released their debut album, they aren't that good live, Freddie mercury could have taught him how to perform live and sound better live than on the album.
No arguement from me
I wouldn’t say he’s the best of all times I’d say is damn good and you know to me he’s great I mean I like Sebastian Bach and I like the band skid row but he’s not the greatest thing ever by far he’s not I’d say he’s in the top 10 of the best 80s rock band or metal bin of all times but I don’t think he’s the greatest I think he can hold his own but he’s not the
Depending on what your flavor of singer was. My favorite from the 80s is Geoff Tate or Queensryche. He has no = imho but when it came to sweet voices that could switch to dirty ta gotta love SB. Mark Slaughter was no slouch either!!
I Remember You is a great song from Skid Row and wow did Sebastian Bach have pipes back then .
As a singer myself, I understand fatigue during tours, obviously nothing like these titans used to endure! But, he has always used a short delay, chorus and reverb and that’s super cool as the engineer is replicating the vox spec from the records. Bach’s compression & range is otherworldly... kudos brother ✊
Thank you!
In my opinion Sebastian Bach is one Of the best voice Of all Time with: Ronnie James Dio and Bruce Dickinson.
Alain Rodrigue 👍
Bruce Dickinson gives me a headache, he's atrocious.
Ian Astbury as well.. imho..
Dude I said the exact same thing on another video you have the same taste as me
100% true
We would never have this song in our magic chest of memories if Sebastian wasn't what he is, or had the balls to do it thousands of times for millions.
No need to analyze, he's the legend no matter what letter of the alphabet he slips rips and slides between. If rock was perfect, we wouldn't have such a thing.
Raw power gets raw.
Long live the original.
Right on, Long Live Rock n Roll
They were my first concert by design and to this day 30+ years later I have never seen anyone with vocals, adrenaline and pure love for that stage and fans like Sebastian Bach.
I was lucky enough to be watching headbangers ball the night a baby faced Skid Row was introduced to the world to debut Youth Gone Wild. That video, that music, that man and that band changed my life forever literally till this day and I am sure til the day I die. So this fan will gladly continue to worship them with the same gusto as 1989.
Very cool, EL 444!
Hi Ken, i lost my beautiful fiance Suzy she was a concert violist in the 80' in her home state of Washington state, we loved watching your videos together. She was going to request for you to perform our song from Savage Garden "Madly Truly Deeply". It took us 56 years to find each other, grew up on opposite sides of the country, me a New Yorker her in Washington. We had 2 beautiful years but s love larger than life. My soulmate. Great seeing a guy with long hair like myself. Suzy and i are true metal heads.
Sebastian Bach was a monster. All I hear here is vocal greatness. Stereo chorus or not the man had raw power and endless range. Very few vocalists could hold a candle to Sebastian Bach live. I saw them three times back in the day and Sebastian never let his audience down. Heavy Metal is not about vocal perfection. If people want that then go to the opera.
80's & 90's Was The Best Years of The Rock Band!.
70s&80s.
Sebastian was my idol back in the 80's. He inspired me to grow my hair long and get into a band. Hearing these songs some 30 years later still reminds me why I do what I do today. Rock on Sebastian!
Sabastian Bach still gives me CHILLS! I LOVE his voice!!
Rock on!
Skid Row without Bach is just Skid Mark...
😄
Forget Skid Row, Bach and the whole reaction/analysis.
The real star hear is Ken's legendary shirt.
Fair enough criticizing Seb, but come on, you gave Vince Neil a major pass & he was far worse.
Matt Dowds,
I agree 100%. I think Vince Neil’s performance was far worse than this.
@@jamesdaigle1543 He struggles big time with Dr. Feelgood
Agree Vince really let the side down on that tour. Always out of breath missing half the words and even the backing track didn't help him
Honestly I have met very very few people, myself included, that think Vince is one of the worst live singers out there. But the shows were still entertaining because he was a good front man.
There's a 30 year difference between the ages of the reactions!!!
I caught Skid Row opening for Bon Jovi in St. Louis back in the day. What a show! They outperformed Bon Jovi by a country mile. I could have left after Skid Row's set and been thoroughly happy.
I love Sebastian Bach he is amazing. Majority of music today just doesn’t compare to this.
I saw this show live when I was 16 or 17. They blew Guns n Roses away that day.
I saw him opening for GnR in 2007, he blew them off the stage, i was in shock lol
Seen him with Guns and never blew them away Lol , Have a Great Day
18 and life.🤘✌💣
I really like Ken and he's a great singer but I don't believe he gave the video a fair assessment honestly. I know tricks can be done in the studio with all the million dollar equipment BUT you've got to give props to Sebastian for the studio recordings he did on the first 2 albums. All the other bands at the time had access to some studio wizardry also but none of the other singers could even come close to Sebastian as far as raw talent and his range and stamina. I know this video was a live performance but you don't know if he played 20 or so shows that month, played 3 or 4 nights in a row, maybe he had a slightly off day or just maybe he couldn't hear his sound in his monitors very well. You never know live what they might be dealing with. That's why I prefer to judge them mostly on their studio work. It doesn't matter that he had "a little help" from studio equipment because ALL the band's had a little help from studio equipment so to me that makes it an even playing field basically. The studio is where you hear them at their absolute best possible. I've heard Baz live 2 times and he was great. I've heard a lot of other singers live also and they had hit and miss spots in their performance too. You've got to realize that anybody that sings like Baz, with 110% everything they've got is going to have a couple dips in their performance from time to time. If you sing like Bob Dylan then you could throw down a perfect performance everytime. When you sing with all you've got like Baz then it's easier to have those dips when you're maxing out your voice constantly but thats exactly what fans like me enjoy. Baz really raised the bar when he hit the scene. Too bad that "scene" was very short lived after Skid Row came out. I think Skid Row and Warrant were about the last couple of "hair metal" bands that were big time.
That’s the beauty of the Rock & Metal! Sharing the painful life together! That’s the real humanity!
I miss these days... Good times. People today have no idea..thanks for the throwback. Blessings!
I know what you mean, Sacred Waves!
Skid Row was insane. It was pure adrenaline. And drugs.
"For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction". I truly understand what you mean, your faith and spirit of conviction are strong. Great review Ken.
Ken, thanks for sharing the quick testimony at the end of the video. I came up during the eighties and nineties, thoroughly enjoying rock music. When I turned 18, I auditioned for a band and was chosen to be lead singer. After about a year, I became born again and truly struggled with the messages and lifestyle promotion in many songs. After one band split, I tried with a few others, but I could never escape the conviction on my heart for singing inglorious lyrics. Now, I am fifty plus and still enjoy singing with the stereo or at an occasional karaoke. Friends and strangers alike, compliment my ability and it is fun to ring true on a high note or special song. I am nowhere your level, but I appreciate your videos which teach this old dog new techniques. Thanks and keep sharing your talents with us. From one brother in the Lord Jesus Christ to another, peace and blessings.
can U IMAGINE THE TIMES HE SANG THAT SONG....BACK TO BACK...??? YOURE RIGHT DUDE PHENOMINAL...
I love American Metalhead this man can sing like few in this world :-)
He was so damn good-looking back then, it physically hurts just to look at him! (Sorry, just had to get that off my chest).
Anyway, at the end he sings the ending of "Love Song" by Tesla, which just happens to be my all-time favorite band! So, while we're on that subject, could you please do a "Vocal Coach Reacts" to Tesla's lead singer, Jeff Keith, preferably this performance: czcams.com/video/7m7FpzOxbkQ/video.html
❤ from 916
I have never heard the ending with Love Song!! I was so into Tesla too, one of my very favorites (and I think, underrated). Amazing Bas payed them homage cause Bas was wild & Tesla not so much. They where very calm if I don't misunderstand.
My favorite Tesla song "Comin' at ya live". But all that album was fantastic!!
Chorus effects or not the guy is amazing, even today he sings better than alot of the 80s icons...
Thanks for your comment, Culley!
Sebastian's best live vocals are when he was on Broadway
Sounded great this wasn’t about a flawless performance it’s about a live show .
Baz is one of my favorite singers and he's one of the greats
When you hit that "I REMEMBER YOU" I subscribed. Impressive!
I got to see Bon Jovi & Skid Row in 89 -- Wow what energy!!!! I was pregnant and sick and was on the floor by the stage rockin out! Sebastian Blew everyone away with his energy and that beautiful voice!!! I've seen many interviews with Sebastian and to I follow his FB He is so funny!!! and his laugh is contagious!! He loves to talk!!!! LOL but his jokes are hilarious and how he tells stories and laughs at everything he says just love the guy
Loving your reactions! You just got a new subscriber. I saw Sebastian Bach in concert 2 years ago. Honestly, he sounded better 2 years ago at the show I went to than he did here. Gregg Allman had passed away the night before I saw Sebastian in concert. During the concert, Sebastian says that he’s got someone he wants to bring out. Next thing you know, Chad Smith from the Red Hot Chili Peppers walks on to the stage during the show, sits at the drum set, and Sebastian says he wants to pay tribute to the late Gregg Allman. They played “Whipping Post” and absolutely rocked it. One of the coolest concert moments I’ve experienced.
Thanks so much for subscribing, Chris! And WOW, what a concert you got to see. Wish I had been there! 😊
Oh right on Ken I have been waiting for this sebastian is one of reasons why I became a rock singer
I like Ken's channel, but have to say, Sebastian brought some of the best rock to our ears and minds. The concert he reviewed was actually pretty good (pretty sure it was Wembley ). I disagree with his criticism of Sebastian, but still like his channel overall. But Bach was one of the better vocalists to come out of the 80's rock scene...and that era is full of what we now know as LEGENDS!
Ken, you should review his 18 and Life performance for this same concert. He blew the crowds ears off with his performance.
Ken. Love the honesty and analysis here. As someone who gigged with them (minus Sebastian), I can vouch about Scotti Hill's abilities as well. He's a beast and a "band" player, indeed. You're a phenomenal vocalist and coach yourself! Dude, 2 things that caught me... The ending wasn't a mistake. He was singing Tesla's "Love Song" ending over the chords, as a homage to their pals in Tesla. ;) Also, if you rewind back, he did hit that big note at the end (although it got quivery some), but when you screamed the same note, it drowned it out on playback, bro. Listen again? Great review and Reaction video. Keep up the great work!
Hard rockin' lifestyle notwithstanding, Sebastian Bach has been one of my favorite rock vocalists since the premier of "Youth Gone Wild" years ago. Phenomenal voice, phenomenal talent.
Bach can make it sound like studio, wow,I'm really impressed 👏
Glad you like it!
i remember my dad playing this song for me so i could hear Sebastian's insane screams at the end. it started my Skid Row obsession actually! i love this band
Scotti Hill is one of my favorite guitarists, and i'm fairly sure the band didn't have any serious drug related issues so good on them!
i also really admire you for turning down a chance to be a huge rockstar in favor of a cleaner lifestyle
Great name lmao
Mona Symeonidoy hahahaah thanks!!
axl didnt leave because of ego. he didnt like what he was becoming. the music nor his band.. hes been very open and clear about his reasons
Thank you, Romulus.
Sebastian Bach was and is phenomenal and I've noticed that my vocals are getting much better since using your excersises and I can almost sing this now.
God bless you brother!
Ken at 10:40 when the acoustic starts Sebastian is singing the end to Tesla's "Love song"...Very cool I think
Dats right!
Good catch, I was thinking the same thing
Yes! I noticed that!
Most definitely
Yep
Pretty tall task to pull off the vocals that were on those amazing 1980's records night after night, and hit ALL of those notes.
I ain't mad at Bas, that was a pretty solid performance given the degree of difficulty.
I saw them in concert & they were amazing.
Doesn't seem he missed a cue at the end. He threw in a nod to Love Song by Tesla, no?
Sebastian was THE best vocal of ANY hair band. Doesn't show in this vid, but from the studio where every singer had the same availability, there's none better than him.
Thanks for listening. Rock on!
Ken, I saw Sebastian Live at a small venue in September 2019 he is Still Awesome. Did a Great job .
My man Sebastian! Gracing the walls of my room freshman high school year!💗🤘🏼🎶🔥
If you want to hear Sebastian at his best listen to "In A Darkened Room"
🙌
I never got the impression that Sebastian was mixed up at the end, he was singing a little Tesla "Love Song" which I thought was Brilliant. Huge Tesla fan also. Another unique vocalist IMO. I know parts of this may have been pitchy but Sebastian could sing his ass off. Range and power in his vocals was so raw and real. Enjoy your channel BTW glad you popped up in my recommend. 🤘🎼🎶
Sebastião Bach great voice,
Are you kidding me?, He sounds phenomenal.
Ken you didn't find your place then cuz living the life style they did would never had let you achieve the absolute elite status you have as a singer today.you were learning and honing in your skills.your place could have been then if you wanted but you had bigger things in store...Here you are and you've become a leader in the industry and all the Rockstars of then look to you to keep their voices in shape..this is what you were put here to do and fortunately for all of us you recognized it and embraced it..thanks man
Thanks, Myke! Appreciate that!
Oh yeah I used to have this tape back in the 80’s.
Matthew Rosenfield 👍👍👍
Tickets for Skid Row just went on sale this morning for their UK tour. Bought two so I can take a friend. So I will be seeing them for the first time(In December).
But they don't have Sebastian Back any more. The band they are now, is just a trashy covers band that comes nowhere near what they were with Baz.
They now have ZP theart (ex vocalist of DragonForce) as their lead singer
And I still love the present Skid Row
Hope you have a nice time there
I have always LOVED Sebastian Bach and always will. There is no other voice like his. When he was on Broadway he amazed my entire family, especially in Jekyll and Hyde. We are talking much older ladies who had never even heard of him, meantime I was dressed in leather and chains. Haha. Anyway, not only is he still a phenomenal singer and still gorgeous, but he is also still so amazing to his true fans. I have met him 6 times and every time he gives me a huge hug and takes pics, signs autographs... I love him. He is a wonderful guy with powerhouse pipes and amazing looks. Sebastian has it all. Always has and always will. Some people are just born to be rock stars and he is definitely one of them. Love you Baz❤️. always have and always will. 😘😘😘
What a song.again you took me back to a place and time.I briefly feel 30 years younger
I admire you sticking to your principles, so many would have chucked it aside for the chance at $ and fame.
Damn man....! Sebastian bach is my favorite vocalist man i really love his distorted voice for me his unique
Rainear Mk 👍👍👍
I REALLY appreciate your unbiased and Professional opinions and YES We love you Ken Tamplin, I love the lead solo in this song !!!
Love this song .... summer of 89’
I still get heat for keeping a collection of 80’s metal .
Ken's rocking the Hugh Hefner look. Right on!
I believe i said this on another video, but i need a Youth Gone Wild cover !!!
Oh, yes! Awesome!
Love that song
Ĺ
Thanks Ken, as a fellow Christian living in this fallen world, I really admire your convictions
DTuned It's not easy, is it?
I’ve watched SO MANY of your videos…I can’t believe I just now (4 years later) finally saw this one! Yes, I love Sebastian Bach. But what I love more was your testimony at the end!!! Good for you for standing up for your convictions!!! God has honored that decision and is blessing you in other ways b/c of it! ❤
If you were there, you know that rock and roll at that time means no rules!
The difference in Ken's reactions from others "Vocal Coachs" is just impressive. Ken really knows about singing. Keep doing this great job man.
Bro, this is so awesome! Been waiting for this for so long... have a hard time not worthshipping Sebastian, Vince and all the others :D god bless 80s L.A. metal!
Daniel Bad- Happy you liked it!
There will never be another bas!Looks,body and voice!
I'm sure you're right!
Dude you are in a studio sitting down and fresh and your face was about to explode when you tried to sing those parts. Btw, Scotti Hill is a beast of a guitar player. That guitar solo deserves 50% of that songs success.
No, Baz deserves 100% of that songs success.....for forcing them to put it out to begin with. They didnt want to because it didnt 'fit their image' .....Sebastian knew it would sell and made them put it out. He was right. He was a good little carny.
R
Yeah true, sitting in a controlled environment hitting the notes seb hits for like half the time and without the wear and tear and exhaustion that comes with touring and doing it live on stage every week.
Great and honest critique of Sebastian & #SkidRow & the crazyass scene that we were all in back then Ken!! 👍😎
And of Course my band WANTED didn't make SKID ROW level & I'm grateful we didn't! Although, I can totally relate to all the Hollywood Sunsetstrip ego stuff too! Especially because we lived in Motley Crue's old apartment right up on Clark Street 205 by the Whiskey A Go Go after they left the next 4 years & we were working our asses off trying to get that "Mighty Record Deal" for sure!! Hahaha! 😂 But in all seriousness Ken, it got really really dark and my convictions were probably similar to yours. Being who I am, I wasn't going to sell my soul for Roc n Roll! It's Not what God had in store for me & I accepted that. But also now looking back over 30 years...those sure were some superfun, awesome, crazy good times though & we all got to live it to the fullest, survived to talk about it & what WE ALL (signed & unsigned bands both) did & created back in the 80's & early 90's "Hairbands Era" how spectacular Rock n Roll music will never ever be the same!!!
Long live that "Decade of Decadence" hahahehe 😂 &...
🙏🙌💞Thank G❤D for IT ALL!!
🤟😎🥁🎸🎤🎸🎵🎶
of all those glam bands the most underrated is Firehouse
Although not really glam, Lynch Mob was my favorite of that era. I though they were pretty underrated too.
Firehouse was excellent though!
Steel heart, Dirty Looks, Warrior Soul, way underlooked
I think Bach has sounded better live now, then he did in the mid 90's. Still has power
It’s quite remarkable how he was able to accomplish what he did in the studio. Yes, his live performances were hit and miss, but his studio singing is incredible, very few male singers could pull off what he did during that era with what they had to work with as far as vocal training and coaching. There are some of his live performances that are excellent, although I’m not sure if he ever made the same effort during a live performance that did in the studio. His distortion technique is also impressive as he can sing with a lot of grit, while suffering few ill effects, although age is starting to catch up to him. Nice video Ken.
I saw Sebastian open for Axl's GN'R in like '06 or something and he absolutely killed on the heavy Skids songs but definitely struggled staying true to some of the ballads. Love the shit outta the guy though. Slave to the Grind still holds up phenomenally.
All those guys are legends
Great video, and I can't wait to see more on this era of music. I grew up in the 80s, and all of these bands in many ways established the music of my lifetime. I listen to a lot of different things now, however 80s rock/metal will always hold a special place for me. I begged my parents to buy me a cheap guitar in 1984 after hearing George Lynch absolutely shred on the Tooth and Nail album (and they did). Sitting here 35 years later, I'm looking at a Lynch ESP Kamikaze sitting over the in the corner as I type this. That decade certainly had a lasting impression. While the individual performances of members of these bands can certainly be reproduced, the whole was definitely more than the sum of the parts. I doubt we'll ever see an era of rock stars again like we did in the 1980s. I'll bet you've got stories Ken, I would LOVE to hear you kick back and just talk about how it was back then. I realize it wouldn't fit your channel very well, but I know I'd be glued to the screen and I'm sure others would too.
Hey brother, I greatly enjoy your videos. I took vocal lessons many (MANY) years ago and they really do help. I still do it occasionally from a old 80’s cassette tape from a vocal teacher named Chris Beatty from Starsong. (I’ve since transferred the audio lessons to my smart phone.)
It’s cool hearing about your history in the music biz. I look forward to maybe hearing more about it in your future vids. Keep it up!
there is a demo version recorded live out there. he can definitely sing his own song. his voice sounds strained/tired in this video- probably from being on tour for too long and partying... like a (literal) rock star night after night.
I respect that you aren't really bashing him for sounding like he's exhausted
Ken, I loved this reaction. ❤️ You're always honest & genuine & as you say you "call a spade, a spade" & that's refreshing. BUT, I gotta address your closing statement. I got mad respect that you decided early on that your moral standards & beliefs were more important to you than fame & the kind of lifestyle you knew you would witness & be subjected to. Not saying you would have succumbed to it, but it's hard to be around that kind of stuff & not be affected. My husband counseled with a church leader & was told the 3 career choices that were most devastating to marriages, families & moral temptation are: Military, Law Enforcement & the entertainment industry. My husband was in the marine corp for over 8 years, was a correctional officer for 21. We have been married almost 41 years. He (we) have been the anomalies in these careers. Our religious beliefs have carried us through, but we have seen (figuratively) many marriages & families crumble & it is heartbreaking. So I commend you on your strength, in a rambling kinda way.
They are certainly not relationships conducive to a healthy marriage and children. You can't take care of your personal responsibilities if you are never home and dealing with fake adulation.
Carry underwood did a killer live version of this. My old band opened for him and LA guns not to many years ago in a small club close to my house. His band was cool, got to talk with them. I got to see Sebastian before and after the show. He did a very good job. We used to play with alot of bands and alot of them needed all kinds of gear. Wanna be national acts ect.. He just used the house monitors, house sound guy and just a regular mic. I respected that.
Awesome, Ken!
Baz didn't mess up at the end. It was a head nod to Tesla's Love Song. The fact that you missed that you missed that makes it a bit hard to take your critique of one of the greatest singers of all time seriously. Sure, he was a bit pitchy here and there. It was live, no auto tune and he was probably dead tired (and he'd probably partied way too hard). Very, very few people could have done what he did under the same circumstances. IMO he was definitely worthy of worship. He had an encredible voice, had great stage presence (and he was hot as Hell!!!! )
I think it’s pretty crazy he could even do it that good with his lifestyle back then and singing night after night.
He sounds a lot better today than most of singers from back then.
Great video.
