Sebastian Bach


We went to see Sebastian Bach play at the Deerfoot Inn in Calgary.  Sebastian hasn’t changed at all.  He has an amazing larger than life stage presence and still sounds spectacular!  He still spins his microphone in circles.  It is hard to get a picture of him on stage because he has so much energy and his hair is flying!

The show was the day that Whitney Houston passed away and they did a Whitney medley and then he sang ‘I Remember You’ to us.  He then wore one of our friends’ hats and joked about looking like a French Brian Johnson from AC/DC.  He also grabbed a girls’ phone and was singing in to it and put it in his mouth.  He then joked that we were seeing the best of Skid Row on stage and laughed and told people not to put that on you tube.  And he of course cracked jokes about being Canadian and his guest appearance on Trailer Park Boys.  He is so entertaining with a great sense of humour. 

We had an opportunity to meet him after the show.  He was shocked when we asked why he didn’t sing “Most Powerful Man in The World’; he said no one had ever requested it before.  The set list was a good balance of old and new.  He sang ‘Here I Am, and ‘Piece of Me’ and sang some new songs off his new album ‘Kicking and Screaming’ ‘My Own Worse Enemy’, ‘I’m Alive’ and ‘Dirty Power’.  He of course finished with ‘Youth Gone Wild’.
