Sebastian  "Bach on the Road"
May 15, 2002 - Baltimore, Maryland

From Skid Row to Broadway to VH-1 Sebastian Bach has come a long way, but his fans know the best place to find him is live on stage with his friends. In this case, Bach’s friends included guitarist Al Pitrelli (Savatage, Megadeth, etc.), as well as long time band members Mark “Bam Bam” McConnell (Drums) and Larry (Bass), and Anthrax guitarist Paul Crook (who first stepped in on the road in support of Bach’s Bring ‘Em Bach Alive).

Since Bach's guitarist Richie Scarlet was performing with Mountain, Paul Crook, who had been friends with Pitrelli for a couple of years, suggested that he fill in for the local gigs and that was pretty much that.

Pitrelli says that "Paul was in Anthrax, when Anthrax and Megadeth were opening for Motley," and that Sebastian had seen him play with Widowmaker. "He was a big Widowmaker and obviously he was a huge Megadeth fan...In the day, I was a huge Skid Row fan, and I've been keeping my eye on what Sebastian's been up to. I mean between his Broadway things and his solo records, he's just an incredibly talented person..."

"It was just great fun across the board," he added.

The band's performance, which spanned more than an hour and a half, featured Skid Row favorites, Sebastian Bach solo material, and even a few surprises from those Broadway performances in Jekyll & Hyde and the Rocky Horror Picture Show. 

Their set opened up hard and heavy with "Slave to the Grind," "Here I am," and "Frozen," before slowing down slightly for "18 and Life."  Himself being convicted "with, and without reason," Bach gave new meaning to "The Threat," before turning the page to one of the latest chapters of his career, Broadway.  A taste of the theater magic was first brought to his die-hards through the spine tingling "This is the Moment," an emotional selection from Jekyll & Hyde.

But the night of metal continued with "Sweet Little Sister," and then "Done Bleeding," which featured a great solo from Pitrelli.  Another new addition to the set ended up replacing Bach's predictable "Monkey Business" interruption, "Godzilla." It was perhaps the heaviest metal variation possible of the Horror Show's classic "The Time Warp."

Encoring after an hour on stage, Bach returned with his anthem, "Rock N Roll," his breathtaking transformation between the conflicting personalities of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and the Skid Row ballad, "I Remember You." Then, after a few teasing impromptu jams, including KIX's "Cold Shower" and "Judas Priest's "Diamonds and Rust,"  the show came to a close as Bach belted out "Youth Gone Wild."  After all...it was the "Forever Wild" tour.

Unfortunately, this performance was one of few select dates on the short Forever Wild tour, but Bach promises a new studio album in the somewhat near future.  In the meantime, his fans can pick up his most recent offering, the Last Hard Men, now available through Spitfire Records.   As always, visit www.sebastianbach.com for the most recent news, personally updated by Sebastian.
