Sebastian Bach Doesn’t Miss Early Skid Row Days

Despite the fact that Sebastian Bach often hears how much fans miss him in Skid Row, the singer, who was unceremoniously fired from the band in 1996 and has since carved a solo career, says that he is happy with where he is right now and has no desire to turn back the clock.

“I don’t [miss those days at all],” Bach told Jane Gazzo of Australia’s Triple M station (hear audio below). “You’re talking about 1989. 

I don’t walk around in 2015 missing 1989. I don’t know anybody that does. It’s, like, ‘Oh, I miss those days?’ Like, how corny is that? No, I don’t. I just did a seven-week tour in America, and I don’t associate those [Skid Row] songs with ‘89 anymore, I associate ‘em with the last seven weeks. I play them every night. That’s my job. I’m a saloon singer, like Frank Sinatra.”

Bach does, however, plan on revisiting some of the events from his Skid Row days in his upcoming autobiography, “18 And Life On Skid Row”, which is tentatively due in January 2016 via Dey Street Books (formerly It Books), an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers. 

“When you talk about old memories and stuff, the time where I do think of those things is where I’m writing my book,” he said. “I write about a lot of those things that you’re asking me about. I have to sit down and remember things; it’s not like on a tip of my brain. And, yeah, we did a lot of crazy shit back then — definitely, without a doubt. We weren’t the only ones, though.”
