Sebastian Bach - Trip Report
Last night, I went to Mulcahy's in Wantagh, Long Island to see Sebastian Bach play Skid Row's greatest hits. Absolutely incredible. I could talk a lot about the interesting crowd that was there, but I'm guessing most people here can imagine who shows up at a rock concert on Long Island. Anyways, he started the night with "Slave to the Grind". Rocked the place. It was completely packed. It was just general admission, with everyone standing, but I made sure to get there two hours early so my $15 ticket got me about 8 feet away from Sebastian.
The good old highlights included "Here I Am", "18 and Life", "I'll Remember You", and an unbelievably good performance of "Youth Gone Wild". On the back of his black leather vest was a weird silver splat which made it look like he was sponsored by Cingular, but since the vest was heavily studded and his tight black leather pants had silver lightning bolts on either side of the crotch, the outfit did not disappoint on the whole. Incredibly high energy level for the entire show, you could just tell he was having a great time and so was the entire audience. If you ever get a chance to see him perform, I highly recommend doing so. |

Skid Row is definitely one of my Top 5 Hair Bands...I'm definitely jealous you got to see SB play the classics.
Only Skid Row can pull off a lyrical masterpiece like "I remember you." He uses the same word to rhyme with itself, "kiss with kiss." I believe the lyric goes: "I said I’d give my life for just one kiss I’d live for your smile and die for your kiss Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand..." It's like they said "Hey, what rhymes with kiss? I know, kiss!" All kidding aside, they are awesome. God I miss Arena Rock. |

Hmm...I was always torn as to whether he had rhymed "kiss" with "kiss" there or the last line actually said "and die for your tears" where he weirdly says "tears" to sound a lot like kiss. I guess google could easily answer this problem, but I'm very lazy. In any case, yes the concert was awesome. I wonder if he's coming back. For only $15, this was clearly the best value for money that I have gotten in a long long time.

Here you go:
Woke up to the sound of pouring rain The wind would whisper and I’d think of you And all the tears you cried, that called my name And when you needed me I came through I paint a picture of the days gone by When love went blind and you would make me see I’d stare a lifetime into your eyes So that I knew you were there for me Time after time you were there for me Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand Love letters in the sand - I remember you Through the sleepless nights and every endless day I’d wanna hear you say - I remember you We spend the summer with the top rolled down Wished ever after would be like this You said I love you babe, without a sound I said I’d give my life for just one kiss I’d live for your smile and die for your kiss Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand Love letters in the sand - I remember you Through the sleepless nights and every endless day I’d wanna hear you say - I remember you We’ve had our share of hard times But that’s the price we paid And through it all we kept the promise that we made I swear you’ll never be lonely Woke up to the sound of pouring rain Washed away a dream of you But nothing else could ever take you away ’cause you’ll always be my dream come true Oh my darling, I love you Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand Love letters in the sand - I remember you Through the sleepless nights and every endless day I’d wanna hear you say - I remember you Remember yesterday - walking hand in hand Love letters in the sand - I remember you Through the sleepless nights and every endless day I’d wanna hear you say - I remember you |

I just found those lyrics to be poignant. I need some sleep.

Re: Sebastian Bach - Trip Report
Those lyrics ARE poignant. Skid Row is one of the greatest rock bands of our generation and that is their best song. Dvo, thanks for the lyrics. Even if the kiss/kiss rhyme sucks the big one.

Re: Sebastian Bach - Trip Report
Great [censored] song. I used to get told I looked like Sebastian Bach all the time in like 90 and 91. Good times.

Re: Sebastian Bach - Trip Report
I like the song, too, but I remember you is the best he can muster for a girl whose eyes he stared into for a lifetime?
I would frickin' hope so! eastbay |
Re: Sebastian Bach - Trip Report
Dude, when you're that hopped up on drugs and alcohol, remembering some chick is no small feat! Besides, it's much better than the one thing they've got being a film that as he recalls they both kinda liked.
