Metal Anarchy

During a recent appearance on the “Behind The Velvet Rope” podcast, Sebastian Bach discussed the possibility of reuniting with Skid Row once again. The frontman says he believes if the band can “figure out the business side of it, then there’s no reason why not to.”

Bach said the following:

“Well, I do think so, because I really think that the main reason that that hasn’t happened is because of business. We haven’t been in the same room since 1996. That’s a fact. So I don’t have anything against anybody from 1996. I don’t even barely remember 1996. [Laughs] So, I mean, the fact that we’re all still alive, I would say, yes, I think if we can figure out the business side of it, then there’s no reason why not to.

I will tell you this. I have a brand new [solo] single called ‘What Do I Got To Lose?’ that’s available now on all streaming platforms, and the video is out on YouTube. And playing the drums in my new video is none other than Rob Affuso, the drummer from [the classic lineup of] SKID ROW.”

He continued after interviewer David Yontef said it was “like a mini reunion”:

“Yes. Well, I wouldn’t say ‘mini’, because the band SKID ROW right now has three or two, at some times, members [from the classic lineup]. And so my solo band has two. [Laughs] We’re trying, we’re trying. [Laughs]”

He also added the following when asked what it would take to get a full reunion going:

“I’m sure you’ve seen the METALLICA documentary ‘Some Kind Of Monster’ where they have all the therapist and everybody. ‘We have to stop at 4 p.m.’ I’m sure you’ve seen that. It’s all about the band working with a therapist. SKID ROW never worked with no therapist. We didn’t have anybody at all trying to help us out or be a mediator — that never happened ever. So, I don’t understand when I read, like, a book on AEROSMITH or a book on MÖTLEY CRÜE or a book on the RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS, all these bands have therapists that work stuff out in between the band members. I don’t understand why we never even tried anything like that. We can’t even text each other. Well, why does every other band get [a therapist], but we don’t? So that kind of pisses me off a bit.”
