SEBASTIAN BACH: 2020 'Was The Worst Year Any Of Us Ever Had'
April 20, 2021Earlier today (Tuesday, April 20),former SKID ROW singer Sebastian Bach was interviewed by "Great Day Houston" about "Rock Camp: The Movie", the recently released documentary about Rock 'N' Roll Fantasy Camp, which has been bringing together musicians from all walks of life for an unforgettable experience with legendary rock stars for a quarter century. The film follows four campers (and their families) through their journeys to shred with their heroes and see how they overcome their fears and transform their lives.
Speaking about his love of music, Bach said: "I think in the year 2020 — obviously, it was the worst year any of us ever had — but I have a whole room of vinyl records here [at home], like vinyl and CDs, top to floor, and music became so valuable to me in this time. Not like it wasn't before, but just to remind you of the good times and the fun that's possible. It's true — rock and roll does keep you young. I don't know how to explain it, but I think it's the spirit."
He continued: "When you hang out with a guy like Roger Daltrey or Alice Cooper, who's probably 80 or 90 — I don't know how old he is — but his spirit is young and fun. I think people that forget to enjoy life get prematurely grumpy and bummed out. And that doesn't happen if you're singing, 'People try to put us down, Talking 'bout my generation.' It's just fun, man."
"Rock Camp: The Movie" from filmmaker Doug Blush was released in January.
