The most surprising reunion that hasn’t happened in the metal world arguably is that of Skid Row and their classic singer Sebastian Bach. Despite fans hoping it would come to fruition, the band simply remains steadfast in not wanting to work with their former frontman.
Despite the two sides still seemingly being so far apart, a Skid Row reunion with Bach has nearly happened on a few occasions. Bach recently appeared on Rock Daydream Nation and explained: “Yeah. It got really close — I don’t know how many years ago, like six years, seven years ago. Right before they got their singer from Dragonforce, I was under the impression that we were gonna get back together. And it was New Year’s Eve, and I saw online, ‘Here’s the new Skid Row singer.'”
Bach wasn’t at all happy with the announcement.
“And I go, ‘You’ve gotta be f*cking kidding me,” he said. “And I texted ’em all, ‘F*ck you. F*ck off.’ I was blown away that they were gonna get, like, singer number seven or number eight. And they said, ‘Oh, this is only temporary while we figure out the reunion stuff.’ But I’m an emotional dude. That’s why I sing for a living. And when I saw that news, I was not happy about it at all.”
Despite the communication breakdown between the sides, Bach remains open to a reunion. “Absolutely. I sure would,” Bach said of the possibility of revisiting talks with Skid Row guitarist Dave “Snake” Sabo. “Yeah, I would. It’s just so ironic that I play with so many other musicians. I’m in a corporate band called Royal Machines, which is Billy Morrison of The Cult, Steve Stevens, and Josh Freese on drums. I play gigs with these guys all the time. I’m playing this Thursday with Billy Morrison, Steve Stevens, Run-D.M.C., and Mark McGrath of Sugar Ray.”
The singer continued: “We’re all on stage together. I have another band with Matt Sorum called Kings of Chaos, and we play shows all the time. I’ve got my own solo band. So I play with many different musicians except for the guys in Skid Row, which is so ironic. It doesn’t make sense. It doesn’t make logical sense. But maybe someday we’ll pull our heads out of our asses and take a deep breath of fresh air.”
