Buckle up, this one is pure <a href=\"http:\/\/www.spotlightreport.net\/tag\/Sebastian-Bach\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sebastian Bach<\/a>, no filter, all fire!<\/p>\n<p><strong><span>SR. Before chatting about the Oz tour, I need to congratulate you on your latest album \u201c<em>Child Within The Man<\/em>\u201d \u2013 It\u2019s truly a killer release. Just wondering what does that phrase mean to you, and how does it reflect where you are right now in life and music?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>SB.<\/strong> Thank you I like it too! Basically that refers to the fact that, rock n roll just makes me feel like a child. In good ways and bad ways. I just get a certain feeling when I listen to rock music that, I don\u2019t know how to explain it, but, you know, it\u2019s a cliche.<\/p>\n<p>Rock n\u2019 roll keeps you young and I think there is definitely something to that. I just think there\u2019s something to that. I mean, look at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.spotlightreport.net\/tag\/Angus-Young\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Angus Young<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.spotlightreport.net\/tag\/ACDC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AC\/DC<\/a>. You know, it\u2019s crazy how those guys are, you know, so old and still rocking and they will continue rocking.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span>SR. What would you say are the tracks from<em> Child Within The Man<\/em> that would be perfect to introduce first-time listeners to the album?\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>SB. <\/strong><em>What do I got to lose?, <\/em>because it\u2019s like the closest thing that I\u2019ve had to a hit song since the late 80\u2019s. Honestly, it\u2019s a big, big song on radio in America. I don\u2019t know about Australia, but that song for sure grabs everybody when they hear it.<\/p>\n<p>I would say the song <em>(Hold On) To The Dream<\/em> is one of my best songs that I\u2019ve ever recorded. When I listen to it, I can\u2019t believe how heavy and cool it is and also melodic it is. <em>(Hold On) To The Dream<\/em> is really another level for me.<\/p>\n<p>I also love the song <em>Future of Youth<\/em>, which I was personal favorite as I did it with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.spotlightreport.net\/tag\/Orianthi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Orianthi<\/a> from Australia. That is my first Australian collaboration on one of my records, so thank you <a href=\"http:\/\/www.spotlightreport.net\/tag\/Orianthi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Orianthi<\/a>! \u2013 The song came out great, the video came out great. It\u2019s very melodic. That chorus is just crazy to me how good it sounds\u2026And, yeah, I\u2019m very happy with the whole record.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"_ytid_29830\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" data-origwidth=\"696\" data-origheight=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Jrfp1VLuXw0?enablejsapi=1&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;modestbranding=0&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;\" title=\"YouTube player\" allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m actually, starting to get the, itch to do more new music because it\u2019s been a while now, so I\u2019m starting to get that feeling of wanting to make some more new music, and, that might be happening sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span>SR. You\u2019ve always been about big vocals and bigger energy. How did you keep that raw Sebastian spirit alive while recording this album and on stage?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>SB. <\/strong>I really enjoy recording. To me, recording a record, is it completely different exercise than playing live. To me, going on tour and playing concerts every night is more like being an athlete, with no sleep and traveling and getting on the stage and pushing your body and your mind to the maximum.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s really, unless people have done it before, you don\u2019t realize how physically demanding going on tour is. But making a record I stand still in an air conditioned room (laughs), and I sing it as many times as I want until I get exactly what I want. There\u2019s nothing wrong with that. There\u2019s nothing wrong. Like when people, say, oh, \u201cthis live album isn\u2019t live\u2026they, fixed up some notes\u201d \u2013\u00a0 You\u2019re allowed to do that!<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why the technology was invented. It\u2019s like Les Paul, the guitar player, invented multi-track recording. People are like, \u201coh, he he doubled that. He put up an echo\u201d \u2013\u00a0 You\u2019re allowed to do that! You\u2019re allowed to fix up a note on a live record. It doesn\u2019t make it a worse record. That makes it a better record.<\/p>\n<p>Playing live is one shot. You get one shot, right? you walk on the stage and you\u2019re up there for an hour and a half. But making a record, you can, spend 20 years on a record if you want.<\/p>\n<p>I find playing a lot. I find making a record to be more of a creative exercise. And I find going on tour, playing concerts, more of a physical, exercise. That\u2019s, that\u2019s the difference.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span>SR. You\u2019re performing the <em>Skid Row<\/em> self-titled debut to Australia in full in a few weeks. What\u2019s it like revisiting those songs night after night, and do they feel different to perform now than they did in 1989?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>SB.<\/strong> Well, it doesn\u2019t feel like yesterday because it was 36 years ago (Laughs). I\u2019m happy that I still get a chance to do this. I\u2019m happy that I still perform the songs in the original key with no backing vocal tracks at all, it\u2019s all real rock and roll.<\/p>\n<p>You know, that\u2019s the only way I know how to do it. I don\u2019t know how to get up there with a click track, and I don\u2019t, I\u2019m not like that. I\u2019m more of a wild animal up on the stage. You know, people come see me and when I see live footage of me, I\u2019m very tall, and I come out there with a lot of energy, and it\u2019s almost like it\u2019s going to the zoo and seeing an animal like a gorilla or something like that (Laughs).<\/p>\n<p>So, yeah, when I get on the stage, it\u2019s like, whoa, here it comes, man\u2026and I\u2019m swinging my mike and I\u2019m just a very tall guy, so when I come on the stage, I can see the crowd looking at me like saying \u201cOkay, look at this. Look at this dude. Like, look at\u201d \u2013 It\u2019s fucking wild, you know?<\/p>\n<p>I think that\u2019s just because of, how big I am and and how much energy I come out there with. And people aren\u2019t used to a guy my age still doing the songs in the original key and all that. You know, some people do that, but most people, lower the keys on the guitar and have all the background vocals on a track, and we\u2019re not that smart (Laughs).<\/p>\n<p><span><strong>SR. I don\u2019t know if you remember this, but in one of your previous shows here at The Metro in Sydney you did two things that brought the house down. First you hosted a marriage proposal on stage and then you said a phrase that unleash the mosh-pit: \u201cYou might kick-out the singer from the band, but you will never be able to kick-out the band from the singer\u201d just before playing \u201cYouth Gone Wild\u201d.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>SB. <\/strong>Did I say that (Laughs)\u2026I think I remember a bit of that!<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/spotlightreport.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/DSC_6576.jpg\" alt width=\"750\" height=\"499\"  ><\/p>\n<p><strong><span>SR. That\u2019s the Sebastian Bach effect in Australia! That\u2019s why everyone always welcome you here with open arms and sold-out shows. Just wondering what are your most fond memories from previous Australian tours?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>SB. <\/strong>I mean, the first tour we did was crazy, but we, played in 1990 headlining, and, we did an in-store in Sydney. That was ledge and area, like, like completely crazy and, like, so many people came to this record store that we had to go in the basement of the record store because the fans were like coming in the front door and the back door, and the police were trying to hold them back, and it was on the night news. it was a very crazy thing. You can see clips of that in the skid row. Okay. Can you screen it on home video, which you need a VHS player to see that because we never put it out on DVD \u2013 \u201cGood idea\u201d (Laughs).<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"_ytid_63618\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" data-origwidth=\"696\" data-origheight=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DDYBbVSaRpY?enablejsapi=1&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;modestbranding=0&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;\" title=\"YouTube player\" allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Then, of course, I have to mention playing, Calder Park and Eastern Creek with Guns n\u2019 Roses and Rose tattoo. Those were, legendary concerts in Australia. That\u2019s was what everybody I talked to remembers. It goes. Man, like \u201cI was there\u201d. That was like Woodstock or something. That was a big deal and I remember how hot it was on the stage. Jesus Christ, it\u2019s a lot more cool iIn the recording studio compared to\u00a0 Eastern Creek in the middle of the summer!<\/p>\n<p><strong><span>SR. That show became the footprint for many tours here in Oz.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>SB. <\/strong>I gotta bring something else up\u2026YouTube is so hilarious! I see videos of of guys, that call themselves \u201cvocal experts\u201d or \u201cvocal instructors\u201d or whatever, and these idiots watch a video of me on stage, like at Wembley Stadium, running around with no shirt on in 100 degree weather and I\u2019ll do a note like in my concert footage and they\u2019ll sit in their chair and like, go, like sitting in their chair watching it on YouTube, singing \u201cahhhhhhh\u201d as if that\u2019s the same fucking thing as me running around on stage in the summertime!<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t get to sit down and like, watch and go see, I can do that.<\/p>\n<p>You can\u2019t do shit. And another thing is you don\u2019t just do one note of the song. The challenge is to sing the whole song! <em>I Remember You<\/em>, and then at the end, there\u2019s a scream, and you better be ready for that!<\/p>\n<p>So spare me sitting there like this. \u201cGod. Oh, shit. I can beat that\u201d. Like. No!, you have no clue what the hell it is that I do sing the whole fucking song. Then hit the scream at the end in 100 degree weather. No sleep, Jet-lagged. You know, it just makes me laugh. Like, it\u2019s just so funny that people think that they know how to get on a stage and rock for an hour and a half or two hours.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a dying art, and you can\u2019t sit in your living room and your air conditioning watching it on YouTube, thinking\u2026 you have no fucking clue about what it is to get up on that stage and do it every single night. It\u2019s not physically or mentally easy to do. And and there\u2019s so many of these so-called \u201cvocal experts\u201d that I could kick them right in the balls!<\/p>\n<p>Because don\u2019t tell don\u2019t even think you know what it is that a guy like me does. I\u2019m not saying this to you. I\u2019m saying this to all the \u201cexperts\u201d in their basement and their air conditioning\u2026It\u2019s really hilarious.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"_ytid_81215\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" data-origwidth=\"696\" data-origheight=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5c3v5ctp6ko?enablejsapi=1&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;modestbranding=0&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;\" title=\"YouTube player\" allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong><span>SR. It\u2019s hilarious, I mean seriously they do all this for \u201clikes\u201d. Just look at Ozzy\u2019s last show\u2026They would never be able to do something like that.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>SB. <\/strong>Like that at his age! Like two weeks before he dies. He throws his best ever concert ever. Like I was crying watching Black Sabbath, I was, but then he dies like I was crying just because of the show, the concert\u2026because it was so emotional to see the original Black Sabbath play those songs, you know. And then I can\u2019t even believe that he left us like a, a week and a half after that. It doesn\u2019t even seem like reality. So I don\u2019t, I don\u2019t know<\/p>\n<p><strong><span>SR. He left like the true legend he was, that\u2019s for sure.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>SB. <\/strong>I read this, statement of when he died and they said that he died surrounded by his family and his friends. And so he won because, like, nobody was crazier or wilder than Ozzy Osborne. And still his family and his wife, they understood that about him and they stuck by him, and that\u2019s rare.<\/p>\n<p>You know, people seem to think that I\u2019m this wild, crazy dude, and maybe I am, but I never bit the head off a bat. Like what? I mean, to me, Ozzy is crazier than me. I don\u2019t like the taste of bats. Yeah, they\u2019re too salty (Laughs).<\/p>\n<p><span><strong>SR. Sadly, we are running out of time, just to finish, would you like to send a message to all your Australian fans ahead of the tour?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>SB. <\/strong>My message would be, thank you very much for 36 years of rock and roll. We were going to do this tour, in 2020. But then 2020 happened. So, the only place we\u2019re doing this in the world is Australia, because we promised we would do it in 2020, but then we couldn\u2019t do it, and basically the promoters say, \u201cplease, please, please, let\u2019s, let\u2019s do the first record\u201d.
