Sebastian Bach's solo albums

[img:$uid]http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61zIFd3KSNL._AA160_.jpg[/img:$uid][img:$uid]http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51uLuy1RnyL._AA160_.jpg[/img:$uid][img:$uid]http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41iuBueu76L._AA160_.jpg[/img:$uid]

Wanted to start a thread to discuss his three solo releases, Angel Down, Kicking & Screaming and Give 'Em Hell.

Angel Down seems to be very popular on this board, which is unsurprising seeing as it features three songs with Axl on vocals. My favourites on his debut are the badass title track, the gorgeous By Your Side, Stuck Inside and You Bring Me Down (which sounds really Sabbath-esque to me).

Kicking & Screaming was a half good album but featured way too many filler tracks. The good ones are Tunnelvision, One Good Reason (awesome riffing and soloing on this one), Dirty Power, I'm Alive, Kicking & Screaming, Dream Forever and My Own Worst Enemy. The other songs are pretty bad imo. Although they came up with some good stuff, I'm glad Nick Sterling didn't stick around after this one.

Give Em Hell to me is Bach's most complete album. It has a much more metal-vibe compared to K&S and it really suits Baz. Musically, it kind of reminds me of 80s Ozzy fronted by Bach. Push Away is probably the best song he's ever recorded (either solo or with Skid Row). And there's some really cool metal riffs on songs like the standout All My Friends Are Dead and Harmony. There isn't really a bad song on this album.

Only really know his stuff with Skid Row, but they were a rocking band back in the day! Slave To The Grind is a certified metal classic! headbang

You should check out some of his solo stuff, some of it is very STTG-esque.

sad, just sad, one of the VERY FEW 80's hair bands that should reunite, I mean, Poison is still around ( neutral) but Skid Row isn't?? sad

current Skid Row (with that faceless new singer) probably needs SB more than he needs them, though....

Weirdly enough, I read in a recent interview that Bach would be up for it, but the guys from Skid Row (especially Rachel Bolan) really hate Bach and won't have him back.

But I agree with you, they need him more than he needs them. They're last Bach lookalike singer left the band a few months ago and Tony Harnell has joined the group. They recently released a 2015 version of 18 & Life with the new singer, much to the dismay of many fans of the original band.

Slave to the grind is the shit but it's all about Skid Row's first album. Classic! Sweet little sister, Piece of me, etc. Every track is great.

I like Angel down quite a bit actually. His other two albums i don't fuck with as much. Bach's personality has really made me grow tired of him & Skid Row for years. But Their first 3 albums are still classics..

Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

All music is shit music and no music is real- gunsnhalen

Hmm. Well. Tony Harnell is not that faceless and certainly a step up from Johnny Solinger. Skid Row was one of my favourite bands. After Sebastian was kicked out I totally lost interest in the band, until late '13, when I saw them on a co-headlining tour with Ugly Kid Joe. Whilst Johnny Slinger is no Sebastian Bach, Skid Row is definitely Skid Row. The music was the there and when the crowd has a party and sings along, who cares about the singer? Last year I saw them again, Skid Row and Sebastian Bach, exactly a week apart and to me Skid Row were the winners. Really looking forward to seeing them with Tony Harnell. The re-recorded version of 18 & Life sounds promising.

The only Sebastian album I really got into was Angel Down. Some great songs there, You don't understand, Love is a bitch slap, By your side, Falling into you, Stuck inside...

Didn't quite warm up to the other albums.

But you guys should really check out his Frameshift collaboration though. Great album. I killed you, an amazing song.

One of the great voices of our time. I didnt know he had solo stuff. Will. Need to check it out.
Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.
