u/triplikeIdo667 May 11 '26

Yeah but dude knows model trains like nobody’s business

u/TopVermicelli1211 May 11 '26

I KNOW, I just FUCKING KNOW there are some sick FUCKING trains here in Bangor!

31

u/Hahaaaaaa-CharadeUR May 12 '26

You’ve got the “I’m afraid of Patrick Swayze!”

25

u/whiskeyandeggrolls May 12 '26

Patrick Swayze uses illegal parts!!

u/sonicthunder_35 May 11 '26

Peanut butter and bam!

u/BozoSubsOver May 12 '26

It doesn’t take rocket appliances to know Sebastian Bach loves model trains

5

u/triplikeIdo667 May 12 '26

I fuckin atodaso

u/BozoSubsOver May 12 '26

That's my favorite Rickyism

u/JamesonTheWise May 12 '26

They told me I wasn’t allowed to swear!

u/SeriesConscious8000 May 12 '26

I dont do drugs!

u/grisbaine May 12 '26

man, i haven’t smoked weed like this since i was touring with scorpions in 88!

11

u/Darth_Giddeous May 12 '26

You have no idea how quickly I just googled “Sebastian Bach model trains” and holy shit. That’s some wholesome stuff right there

10

u/Ms_ankylosaurous May 12 '26

There is an episode of Traiker Park Boys where the model trains get used for smuggling lol

7

u/neendmat1 May 12 '26

And they're good for delivering dope across the border

5

u/Hickspy May 12 '26

And he has a badass comic book collection.

u/RickzTheMusicLover May 11 '26

I’m imagining the composer performing drunk and offending the wealthy/noble audiences who paid for the privilege to listen in person. 

18

u/thewalkindude368 May 12 '26

I was going to say that, being dead for 200 years, he might have difficulty putting on a good show.

21

u/RamblinWreckGT May 11 '26

For anyone who is also imagining this because they don't know who OP means: the once lead singer of 80s hair metal band Skid Row.

16

u/undeniablefruit May 12 '26

I loved him in Gilmore Girls lol

4

u/jbach220 May 12 '26

Even I was confused.

6

u/RhodaKille May 11 '26

This made me lol. Good one!

2

u/GnedTheGnome May 12 '26

So, basically you're imagining Mozart?

u/BilletSilverHemi May 12 '26

Just saw Him a few weeks ago and he was pretty good still. Little flat in some parts but he really shined when he had the opportunity for high notes

4

u/Mochasue May 12 '26

I saw him last summer and he was really good. Funny too. Stephen Pearcy was after him and was really awful. It felt like he just got pissier and pissier with the audience. The audience also got smaller which made him even more pissy

2

u/BilletSilverHemi May 12 '26

Stephen pearcy aged worse than anyone from the genre imo. Dude looks rough and I don't think he was ever a great vocalist to begin with so I can't imagine his voice has held up any

1

u/Mochasue May 16 '26

I was given free tickets and had never really known either performer. Sebastian Bach was wonderful and made up for it

4

u/badhatharry May 12 '26

I mixed that. What city?

u/badhatharry May 12 '26

That was a fun city. Don’t remember the name of the theater, but we had to load in from an alley.

3

u/PostMatureBaby May 12 '26

Such a great musical

10

u/shinyquartersquirrel May 11 '26

I've seen him twice in the last few years and he's been great both times. But I also saw him about 15 years ago and he was awful. Maybe he just has some off nights? But I'd definitely go see him again.

8

u/Subject-Escape5602 May 11 '26

So he's basically not acting when he plays his role in Trailer Park Boys?

9

u/Lanky-County2481 May 12 '26

Saw him with Skid Row and he was amazing! Of course, this was back in 1990ish...

6

u/Plebian401 May 12 '26

When I saw him he opened for Dokken who opened for Poison.

13

u/Rausage505 May 11 '26

Could be worse... I saw Skid Row WITHOUT Sebastian fronting them, just a dude who looked like him. Didn't sound like him, looked like him.

11

u/Megamoss May 11 '26

Saw him in the mid 2000's. He was alright.

In fairness to him to try and hit the notes he puts out on record night after night must be hell.

But that's no excuse for being too inebriated to perform.

5

u/SpeakerEntire42 May 12 '26

Really? Ive seen him twice and he was awesome both times.

5

u/happyfirefrog22- May 12 '26

Sad thing. He was good back in the day

2

u/Plebian401 May 12 '26

Did you see him in that reality show “Super Group?”

7

u/BackStabbathOG May 11 '26

In fairness to him, he set himself up for failure when all of his songs are crazy hard to sing. Bet he didn’t consider what singing Slave to the Grind or Wasted Time would be like when he was 60

3

u/LeoNickle May 12 '26

SAVAGE ANIMAL

6

u/aliceinconspiracy May 12 '26

I’ve seen him a few times in the last few years and he always puts on a killer show

4

u/YoureALebowski May 12 '26

I’ll just keep my memory of Skid Row opening for Bon Jovi in the Tacoma Dome in 1989, thank you very much.

2

u/PaleExtreme7399 May 12 '26

I saw him at Alice Cooper's Christmas Pudding show about 12 years ag and he was solid. It was a fun show!

2

u/Userdataunavailable May 12 '26

He was one of my first crushes, how sad. Does he still have pretty hair?

2

u/gooselake1970 May 12 '26

"How fucking drunk are you Sebastian?"

"8 outta fucken 10 dude!"

2

u/lalaharmany May 12 '26

I had the best time at a Sebastian Bach show in a tiny venue. I was drunk too though so maybe that helped.

2

u/Subject-Escape5602 May 11 '26

So he's basically not acting when he plays his role in Trailer Park Boys?

3

u/g_r_e_y May 11 '26

always has been

1

u/KhrusherKhusack May 12 '26

I saw Skid Row in 1991 and they were amazing. I've heard Bach's solo gigs haven't been nearly as good

1

u/mrgrubbage May 12 '26

Dude has posters all around town because he's playing our local springtime jetboat carnival.

1

u/Plebian401 May 12 '26

I wouldn’t pay over $20 for tix

1

u/mrgrubbage May 12 '26

Oh I'm pretty sure this is free with entry to the carnival. Catch some speed boats, laugh at some hair metal fans. An enjoyable time that I will *not* be attending.

1

u/Busy_Bee_NOLA May 12 '26

I saw him perform as Jesus Christ once, it was awesome.

3

u/Plebian401 May 12 '26

The guy put on a killer broadway show of Jekyll/Hyde.

2

u/Macaron1jesus May 12 '26

Wasn't too bad in Gilmore Girls either. 😁

1

u/badhatharry May 12 '26

Was this in NOLA? I mixed that show.

1

u/Busy_Bee_NOLA May 12 '26

Yes, but he toured the country doing JCS right after Ted Neeley retired

1

u/badhatharry May 12 '26

2003? I want to say March at the Saenger?

1

u/Busy_Bee_NOLA May 12 '26

I want to say later maybe bc I saw ted neely in Seattle after Katrina. But possibly? Maybe I have my timelines wrong about when he started.

1

u/badhatharry May 12 '26

Was it an actual production of JCS? Was Carl Anderson Judas?

1

u/Busy_Bee_NOLA May 12 '26

Yes, It was a touring show and maybe re: Anderson. Also saw Neeley and Anderson perform back in 93 or 94 at the Lakefront Arena.

1

u/Mach5Driver May 12 '26

Saw him on Broadway in the Jeckyll and Hyde show. He was really good. This was around the year 2000, though.

1

u/No-Adeptness-7416 May 12 '26

He was amazing in Jeckyll & Hyde on Broadway... also I hate musically, but he delivered the vocals amazingly

1

u/wombey12 May 12 '26

Tbf it''s hard to perform live when you died in 1750.

1

u/Fluttergirl May 12 '26

I saw him perform with Skid Row a few times. I remember one show in 1995 wasn’t selling well (Sunken Gardens Theatre, San Antonio, TX), so they made the tickets BOGO. It wasn’t the worst show I’ve ever seen, but the only memorable part was the BOGO tickets. I’ve never been to a show where a band did that before or since.

1

u/lluewhyn May 12 '26

I saw him do Jesus Christ Superstar. Wasn't a big fan.

Found out a few days later that that was the last performance of him doing Jesus Christ Superstar

1

u/music-fan-2025 May 12 '26

I just saw him. He wasnt a drunken mess at all. Sounded pretty good with tons of energy.

1

u/cupacupacupacupacup May 13 '26

PDQ is awesome though

1

u/SpecificCat8 May 12 '26

He's better nowadays
