SEBASTIAN BACH Says '30,000 People Left' After His Band's Performance At SWEDEN ROCK FESTIVAL - Dec. 23, 2012
Tina of MetalTalk.net conducted an interview with former SKID ROW singer Sebastian Bach at the Hard Rock Hell festival, which took place between November 29 and December 3 at Hafan-y-Mor Holiday Camp in North Wales, United Kingdom. You can now listen to the chat using the SoundCloud player below.

Asked to name his personal highlights of this past summer's touring season, Bach said: "Download [festival in the United Kingdom] was amazing. Sweden Rock [Festival in Sölvesborg, Sweden] was amazing."

He continued: "It's great when I play Download with my solo band. We get more people than… like, as many as any other band. It's completely been filled as far as you can see. And I'm not gonna name names, but some of the bands that came on after us, we blew their fucking ass out, as far as attendance. So that's very satisfying for me. Like Sweden Rock — it was our show. We opened for another band. When we played, there had to have been 65,000 people there. And then, when the next band played, who were supposedly bigger than us, I swear, 30,000 people fucking left. I mean, I'm not exaggerating. Maybe more. It was, like, absolutely shocking.

"So, a lot of people say, 'When are you getting back with your old band [SKID ROW]?' I'm doing great on my own. [laughs] You can't do better than selling out Sweden Rock or Download. I mean, I don't need those fucking guys."

According to the Swedish newspaper Expressen, Bach played in front of 14,000 people on June 7 between 9:45 p.m. and 11:15 p.m. on the "Rock" stage at this year's Sweden Rock Festival. The same paper also reports that SOUNDGARDEN performed in front of roughly 20,000 fans at the start of their Sweden Rock set, which kicked off at 11:30 p.m. later that night on the "Festival" stage.

The capacity of Sweden Rock Festival has been around 33,000 for the past couple of years.

Bach in July posted a letter on his Facebook page in which he said he was willing to reunite with SKID ROW. "For the fans, I would be willing to put my ego aside and do something that would be special for the people who put us where we are today," he wrote. "I do not personally want it myself. But it's not always about 'what I want.' If the fans really want to see us together, I would do it for the fans. Sometimes you can do things for people other than yourself."

Bach said he wanted to write the letter in response to current SKID ROW singer Johnny Solinger's interview in which Johnny said a recent tweet by Bach about a possible SKID ROW reunion was an attempt to "get attention."

Bach's most recent solo album, "Kicking & Screaming", sold 6,600 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 73 on The Billboard 200 chart. The singer's previous CD, "Angel Down", opened with 6,400 units back in November 2007 to debut at No. 190.

Wow I understand the pride you feel when, as a "support", you get two times bigger attendance than the bands that play after you. A very rock and roll thing to boast about. From how even more full of yourself this made you, I take it for a brief moment you felt compensated for your small dick, right Sebastian?

This guy COULD have way more than he does. Good looking guy, big rock star life.....he has WAY MORE opportunites than people still slugging it out in the clubs. But sometimes he says THE STUPIDEST SHIT anyone can come with. And I know you read these posts Sebastian....don't act like you're above it. YOU'RE A FUCKING DUMBASS. And before you comment about "those Blabbermouth losers" ....I guarantee I made more money than you last year. You're just a dumbass that can't shut your mouth.

Sebastian is full of it as usual.

I mean, I'm not exaggerating.

Well yes, you are. The attendance is nothing like 65,000.
More like 30,000

The band that played after Sebastian was Soundgarden. Definitely a different type of crowd but the crowd definitely didn't leave. I would know, because it was so crowded in front of their stage that I couldn't even get near it to get decent footage... So, must have been a different festival...

saw him few years ago at Sweden rock and he played for fewer people then, he was just starting out again back then around 2005, but was very good and of course there are alot of people that come to the festivals and see every band, but maybe there were more people at his show, maybe not. but he's been great the 3 times i have seen him and better then lot of other bands i have seen.

Bach is the BIGGEST DOUCHE! I'll believe a newspaper's facts before I believe anything that douche says. There were 14,000 people for Bach's band and 20,000 for Soundgarden. Do the math!

No one seems to be picking up on the fact that Soundgarden went on at the Festival Stage 15 minutes after Bach finished on the Rock Stage. So many people left because they wanted to see the re-united Soundgarden. Also-- Bach clearly over estimated the number of fans at his show... by quadrupling it!

Any body remember on Vh1's "Supergroup" show, when Sebastian got frustrated with some interviewer and said he currently had a hit album on the charts and was therefore still musically relevant. Then Vh1 posted a disclaimer on the screen that said Sebastian was referring to a power-ballad compilation that featured one Skid Row song.

I love ya, Sebastian, but you can sure spin a yarn, bro!

This guy could actually have a real career if he wasn't such an ass. Like a hyper active 10 year old, he doesn't think before blurting out his bullshit. He needs a real group of smart musicians to write songs for hm and tell him to just s.t.f.u. and sing. He does have a great voice when he's not drinking and has genuine rock star charisma.

I have a preview right here for everyone (just insert the melody in your head):

I woke up to the sound of 55 fans
Thought to myself...WTF, but it's 2012
No more stadiums with my old band
There no longer here for me, 'cos I'm an ass

I still get interviewed about '91
Nothin' better to write about than my old ass
I'll give 'em the same old quotes
As long as they're payin me

Remember '93---I was pissin' Rachel off
No love loss between our band
I remember, too
Now I'm sleepin' in a Super 8---firing all my crew
12 fans after the show say "I remember you"

I spend the summers now in a minivan
Wishing back to '91
Two ugly 46 year olds said, "I love you, babe"
But my ego wouldn't let me hear a sound

Remember '93---I was pissin' Rachel off
No love loss between our band
I remember, too
Now I'm sleepin' in a Super 8---firing all my crew
12 fans after the show say "I remember you"

I've had my share of hard times, still in 2012
I'll never face the price I paid
And through it all I'll keep hopin' we reunite....
While Snake, Scotti & Rachel keep saying, fuck you---stay lonely

Woke up to the sound of 38 fans
Had a dream it was 38,000
Nothing can ever take my past away
Cause I'll keep dreamin' that we'll find a way
Those 38 sing "I remember you"

Slipknot opened for Coal Chamber in 2000 in SF. The crowd for Slipknot was insane, the pit took up the entire floor space of the Maritime Hall, which was a large, open square with a bar at the back. I was at the bar and the pit was one giant circle taking up the entire room. When Coal Chamber came on, 3/4ths of the crowd left. I felt bad for them, because you could tell that it was fucking with their heads bad. Seabass here is a classic case of lead singer disease, which showed so bad on Supergroup, and you can tell he is absolutely delusional. He had his time when he was the shit and he hasn't dealt with the drop off well at all. Too bad, for the hair metal scene, Skid Row were head and aquanet bottles above the rest musically and could have survived well had they stayed intact and Seabass had avoided becoming a Ramora on Axl's ballsack.

so what he has a big ego, not the first one, and we need some guys like him, true rock stars with big egos, not the down hearted guys that we had in the 90's where everything was about killing yourself or whatever. and so what he gets asked about the 90's what band his age and older arent?? and Metallica are still famous for the black album and they havent done 1 good album since and that album isnt even that great. they could probably fart and still you dump people would buy it. at least Bach has made 3 very good albums in this time, 2 solo and one with Frameshift. and if selling albums is all it takes to be relevant then i would rather be irrelevant compared to what shit is relevant today.
