SEBASTIAN BACH Hates Nostalgia, Loves Country

August 27, 2009

Ex-SKID ROW singer Sebastian Bach has told Noisecreep that he is feeling more kinship with country music these days than the reunion acts from back when former band sold millions of albums 20 years ago.

"For some reason, SKID ROW fans or my fans are so hung up on these three or four tunes that I did a billion years ago," Bach said. "I don't get it. I completely don't understand it because when I made it in rock, I said, 'This is fucking great. Now I can make music the rest of my life.' Some people just wanna make the same record over and over again for the rest of their life, and that's just not me. That's totally not me."

Although Bach is working on a new hard rock album — which will feature collaborations with HATEBREED frontman Jamey Jasta and guitarist John 5 from Rob Zombie's band — he's also planning to release a country CD.

"It takes a long time for me to feel like I can put my name on a record," Bach told Noisecreep. "I hate to use that word 'country' because people have a weird idea. To me, my idea of country is NEIL YOUNG 'Old Man', or ALLMAN BROTHERS, or WILLIE NELSON 'Whiskey River' and stuff like that. I like outlaw country. I like the bad-ass Waylon Jennings coke country [laughs], Leon Russell with long hair, fucking partying [laughs]."
