Sebastian Bach Thinks There’s “Really No Reason Why” Original Skid Row Lineup Can’t Reunite
We’re now three decades out since vocalist and recent Masked Singer contestant Sebastian Bach was fired from Skid Row. In recent years, the conversation regarding whether Skid Row will ever get back with Bach has largely gone as follows: guitarist Dave “Snake” Sabo is asked about a reunion, which he shoots down, Bach is asked in another interview and he says he’s matured, can work with anyone, and the reunion should happen. Rinse. Repeat.
Well, the cycle’s begun anew, as Bach was recently interviewed by Terrie Carr of New Jersey radio station 105.5 WDHA (as transcribed by Blabbermouth). In the chat, Bach was asked for the squillionth time if he thinks there’s a chance he could ever reunite with his old band and for the squillionth time, he said the following:
“There’s really no reason why the original Skid Row cannot reunite. And the reason I say that is because we’re all still alive and we’re all healthy. And I really think the reason that that has never happened is just business. You can’t be mad at somebody that you haven’t been in a room with since 1996.”
Since Bach’s firing, Skid Row’s moved on without him, releasing a number of records and hiring a handful of replacement singers over the years. These days, the band is fronted by Erik Grönwall, who some fans have mistaken for Bach in the past.
Not too long ago, Sabo stated during an interview with We Go To 11 that the idea of Bach ever rejoining Skid Row was “not even a part of any sort of thought process.”
“This is Skid Row. And that conversation is 23 years old [since Skid Row reformed without Bach]. And I have no desire to… I’m not interested; none of us are. It comes down to happiness, and we’re really, really, really happy where we’re at and how the band sounds and feels. I love playing our music, and I love playing it with the guys that we’re playing it now with. And so I don’t wanna change that. I’m in a great place personally, and I think we’re all in a great place as a collective.”
So who knows what’s going to happen in the future with this band. Maybe the New Jerseyans just need to sit down at a mom and pop deli and bond over a pork roll, egg, and cheese to hash out nearly 40 years of shit.
