“KICKING & SCREAMING”: NEW BAZ IS BORING BUT NOT AWFUL

I hated Angel Down so much that I kind of naturally assumed that Sebastian Bach’s new solo album, Kicking & Screaming, would also be a shitfest. (The cover art wasn’t especially reassuring, either.) But now Revolver has debuted the music video for the title track, and the song is really not that terrible.

I mean, it’s not great, either — it’s basically a generic hard rock song — but I can’t really give Baz any shit for it. Watching the clip, I mostly kept wondering a) if the thirteen year old who’s playing guitar for Bach now was reimbursed for the gas money he spent to get to the shoot or if he was expected to pay for it himself because “playing music is his life,” and b) if Baz ever actually gets in a room with his band, or just stands up against a random wall someplace at all times.

Kicking & Screaming is out September 23 on Frontiers. Click on the screen cap of the hot lady who is in the video for no apparent reason other than hot ladies sometimes help sell records to see the clip.
