Sebastian Bach's new release.......ROCKS!

[squank]

Man I'm really proud of Nick... maybe 2 years ago his pop called me to pick my brain about Nick possibly playing with Sebastian, pitfalls of the biz etc. and I hadn't really followed what has happened with the situation since- but it's just great he's now worked himself into a position where he gets to write, and obviously gets mad respect from Sebastian for his skills. Good job Nick, and I think the music/playing sounds really good, it's classic yet pretty fresh sounding, a hard thing to accomplish for guys that are known from the 80's!

Hey Pete, that's totally cool! Thanks for the 'insider' back story.

I'm glad that cool kids get some decent breaks like this.

Who wrote the music in Skid Row? I thought Slave to the Grind was some pretty good song writing. Not as much of a fan of this. But good to see he's still rockin

Scott Hill did the solo's on slave to the grind that people recognize as hits, Dave Sabo and Scott co-wrote the songs on Slave to the Grind, but most of the killer playing you hear on that album is all Scott. Kinda sad to be honest, IMHO Dave gets more credit than is deserved - i was shocked when i heard all these years Scott was the real axe slinger.

Scott was the more "melodic" lead player in Skid Row. Snake had a punkish/thrashy style to his playing.

The main songwriters of the band were/are Snake and Rachel... they were the core individuals of the band and are the owners of the name "Skid Row". This is why Snake get the recognition that he does, not so much for his lead playing. Snake had his moments, though. The lead during the fade out of Quicksand Jesus has a great lick in it towards the end. That was him.

As for Sebastian's voice; he's always struggled with pitch live. Always. He's still a great rock singer.
