Engine Room Records has released the third volume in their series of indie bands covering guilty pleasure tunes, and this time they're all taking on hair metal classics. How does it fare? Very, very well.
Owl Mag writer, Jennifer, didn't discriminate against music in high school. She saw value in every genre and that makes for a high school playlist that is really all over the place.
via WWTDD So much of this week ended up being devoted to the Big Four that I honestly don't wanna think about any of those bands again for at least the remainder of the year. So to wrap this shit up, here's everything Big Four-related we did this week: We live snarked the Big Four [...]
Photo by Clay Patrick McBride Sebastian Bach's new record is surprising and unsurprising. That is, no one who has witnessed the former Skid Row singer's recent playdates with members of Asking Alexandria and Black Veil Brides could be shocked by Kicking And Screaming's slick, modern vibe. Plus, a clue was provided by each of Bach's [...]
All eyes were on the east coast this past weekend as Hurricane Irene tore up city after city leaving many without power, and in many cases causing massive destruction to homes. One such unfortunate soul was none other than Sebastian Bach (former Skid Row vocalist) who lost his home of 21 years to flooding. Bach ...
We make fun of Sebastian Bach a lot here on the site, and we're not about to stop doing that. But it ultimately comes from a place of love (read this) and we certainly never wish anyone physical harm or damage of any kind. So it's with heavy hearts that we say we sympathize for [...]
The only member of the original Skid Row that Sebastian Bach is still on speaking terms with is drummer Rob Affuso, probably because he, like Baz, was sacked from the band at some point in-between Subhuman Race and Whatever the Album After Subhuman Race Was Called. But whatever the reason, Affuso hopped up on stage [...]
Photos by Brian Schroeter Though hard rock has arrived at retirement age, its senior classmen are flourishing on tour. Really, these years are the first in which old metal musicians exist, and 20112s foundation will be built on someday by geriatric Gojira, decrepit Devin Townsend, crotchety Cave In, et al. Right around 2025, those bands might [...]
I hated Angel Down so much that I kind of naturally assumed that Sebastian Bach's new solo album, Kicking & Screaming, would also be a shitfest. (The cover art wasn't especially reassuring, either.) But now Revolver has debuted the music video for the title track, and the song is really not that terrible. I mean, it's [...]
1) Be nicer to Sebastian Bach 2) Compare penis sizes with Tommy Lee 3) Hire Phil LaBonte as a vocal coach 4) Hire Billy Milano as a personal trainer 5) Hire Tripp Eisen as a baby sitter 6) Sleep with present-day Tawny Kitaen 7) Help Danzig clean up his motherfucking bricks, bitch 8) Listen to [...]

News Adam Hammer of SCTimes.com recently conducted an interview with SKID ROW bassist Rachel Bolan.
I LOLd for an hour straight on Tuesday cuz my Twitter was blowing up with metal people's reactions to the Casey Anthony verdict (announced around 4PM EDT). It's a serious situation, so dudes are mad and lending their two cents. That's natural. But man, some people think dumb. Actually, know what? I'm just gonna c+p [...]
The thing about Sebastian Bach is, he's a pathetic loser and a total idiot, but he's also really talented. His voice is still in amazing shape, and his performances haven't lost any of their verve. That's way more than I can say for more dudes his age, who have been in the business for more [...]
News Video footage of James Durbin — the 22-year-old rocker from Santa Cruz, California, who was eliminated from "American Idol" last month but who made a return appearance during the Season 10 finale of the Fox singing competition — performing acoustic versions of the SKID ROW classics "18 And Life" and "I Remember You" can be viewed below.
For a band associated with the hair and glam movement of the eighties, Skid Row has spent most of their time post the "Decade of ME." Formed in 1986, it wasn't until 1989 that their debut album, the self-titled Skid Row record that mixed glam with arena rock and ballads, was released. It was that initial album that put the band on the map, but it w... Read More/Discuss on Metal Underground.com
Am I high or is it weird that in 2011 nobody touts the first two Skid Row records as mega-masterpieces? What has undermined lasting renown? Is it that those jams are too heavy for radio listeners and not aggro enough for metal fans? Did major line-up changes doom them to be written off (except for [...]

Sebastian Bach has announced a September 27 release date for his new album, Kicking & Screaming. The press release makes no mention of any collaborations with Jamey Jasta or John 5, which would have been the reasons to at least be curious about this record, especially after the awfulness that Bach's last outing, Angel Down.

Phil Varone was the original drummer in Saigon Kick and the not-original drummer in Skid Row, and he was on VH12s Sex Rehab with Dr. Drew. But either the treatment wasn't very effective, or I don't understand what the show is actually about, because now Varone has a launched a porn site, Phil Varone's Secret [...]
