Skid Row fans reckon that the band should reunite with former singer Sebastian Bach. Both parties continued their careers successfully. However, Bach has expressed a desire to mend fences and reunite many times in the past.
In an interview with Rock Daydream Nation, Bach revealed that a reunion almost happened a few years ago, and he was elated that it would finally happen. Sadly, to his great disappointment, the members of Skid Row suddenly changed their minds. He said:
“Yeah. It got really close — I don’t know how many years ago, like six years, seven years ago. Right before they got their singer [ZP Theart] from Dragonforce [late 2015], I was under the impression that we were gonna get back together. And it was New Year’s Eve, and I saw online, ‘Here’s the new Skid Row singer.'”
“And I go, ‘You’ve gotta be f**king kidding me.’ And I texted ’em all, ‘F**k you. F**k off.’ I was blown away that they were gonna get, like, [singer] number seven or number eight. And they said, ‘Oh, this is only temporary while we figure out the reunion stuff.’ But I’m an emotional dude. That’s why I sing for a living. And when I saw that news, I was not happy about it at all.”
Bach would obviously be more than happy to play with Skid Row again, but the band members aren’t too eager on the idea. In the past, they’ve stated that a collaboration with Bach would never happen, that the time had passed, and they’re happy with what they’re doing now without him.
However, if Bach had the opportunity to talk to Dave “Snake” Sabo, would he take it? Asked this question in the interview, Bach confirmed he would and noted how silly it is that he’s played with so many musicians but can’t seem to get to his former bandmates:
“Absolutely. I sure would. Yeah, I would. It’s just so ironic that I play with so many other musicians. I’m in a corporate band called Royal Machines, which is Billy Morrison of The Cult, Steve Stevens, and Josh Freese on drums. I play gigs with these guys all the time. I’m playing this Thursday with Billy Morrison, Steve Stevens, Run-D.M.C., and Mark McGrath of Sugar Ray.”
“We’re all on stage together. I have another band with Matt Sorum called Kings of Chaos, and we play shows all the time. I’ve got my own solo band. So I play with many different musicians except for the guys in Skid Row [laughs], which is so ironic.”
“It doesn’t make sense. It doesn’t make logical sense. But maybe someday we’ll pull our heads out of our asses and take a deep breath of fresh air.”
