..they don't want to deal with a narcissistic big mouth..

My guess would be the fact that Skid Row already has a singer.

...that no one cares about.

i do

Yeah, but nobody cares about what you think.

gee young man, you really got me !!! lol

it's odd when I read the fact that Skid Row got a new singer and carried on.....I haven't really made an effort but I haven't heard much about what they've been up to.....they are never on any major nostalgia tours as an opening act or whatever....I've never heard any new material or even the new guy singing the old material....to me, they just seem to be way off the radar...I hardly knew they were still a band

Sebastian has opened some bigger tours and done festivals....Although, his new music hasn't made much of an impact on me...I'm aware of it and have heard a few songs.....

you'd think they would just do it already....I'm sure for the rest of those guys it might be nice to go on a bigger tour this summer, play sheds....remind people of what a good band they were and the good songs they had

but seems like one of them can't get past his dislike of Sebastian

I don't know...I don't get it....you don't have to hang out with the guy.....you'd probably only see him on stage

Actually, they were on the KISS farewell tour and they did one of the Poison package tours, but that was ten years ago.

I couldn't agree more. How much longer will people honestly care about a reunion with the original Skid Row? I get that the current singer is your boy and all that but find a way to cut him in on the profits, go on a tour with some other has been (the crue) and then go back to what you were doing.

someone needs money.

Exactly.

Hey Baz, if you want to know what the "hold up" is, look in the mirror.

I cant believe the amount of press this guy gets on this website.

The hold up is your ego, you whiny-ass diva!!!

It is really funny where he says "I, personally, do not want this..." its for the fans... right.

A skid row reunion with Bach would be cool, but just like the gbr reunion it will never happen.

Rachel vs. Bas, that's the hold up.

Snake & Bolan both don't want you back in their band.

Slave to the Grind is one of the greatest fucking albums ever made.

...but "one of the greatest ever"??? Hardly.

... is that Bolan, Hill and Sabo don't need the money badly enough yet.

And we thought Mustaine was bad. Dude is like a psycho girlfriend. They don't want you back, douche. Get on with your life and stop doing interviews with cunts from VH1 and you won't get asked the same stupid questions over and over.

John 8 won't last long, I bet!

Whether these bands want to or not, they're all nostalgia acts. Give the fans what they want. Fans goto see both of these bands to hear the music they made together, not what they've done individually. It's all about paying for the old memories when we were all youth gone wild.

1 word: Bolan

Hasn't Bach said in the past that HE is not interested in a reunion? And if he's wondering why the other kids don't want to play with him, just ask his former guitarist.

I'm seriously more interested in that then a Skid Row reunion.

Saw them a few years back and, while Sollinger doesn't have a bad voice, he just doesn't have the power voice that Bach has / had. He tried and I give him credit for that but the old Skid Row songs sounded weak and bad ... the new Skid Row songs sounded boring as shit.

I agree.

Saw them last summer on a festival day and was just disappointing.

Seen Bach about 4 or 5 times in the last 7 to 10 years and has kicked ass everytime.

The problem is that the Skid Row members prefer a marginal existence (as a band) over a bloated, arrogant, self centered has been. That means you Sebitchian Douchebach!!

He is a loudmouth for sure.

But he's also really the only thing that mattered out of Skid Row, too, so I could see a reunion being very profitable for all parties involved.

Can't imagine why any band wouldn't want to re-unite with a guy who says he doesn't want to re-unite with them but he'll do it anyway. How could that possibly go wrong?

Absolutely not taking Bach's side because I don't really care about Skid Row, but if you Youtube "Skid Row" the results only show the old material from the Bach-era. Absolutely nothing with the new singer on the first two result pages... I guess that says something...

Maybe I'm wrong, but the world is not sitting anxiously at the edge of their seats waiting on a Skid Row reunion.

When I talked to Sebastian, he was cool and he was actually both happy and a bit funny. Among lots of other things, we talked about Slave To The Grind and his latest solo effort and all the time I couldn't see any diva moments or me, me, me stuff.

So you couldn't see him display any "me me me" moments the entire you were talking about him? Wow, that's really impressive dude. You mean he's actually cool when someone is standing their stroking his ego? Fuck, I guess I misjudged his childish self absorbed idiot ass!

Look in the mirror Bas...

Isn't he too busy betting in trouble with the law and kissing Axl's butt to rejoin Skid Row?

their last 2 albums and the upcoming one are shit.
johnny Solinger is shit.
without Bach they are shit.
Bach's last 2 solo albums are great.
Get the point?
Bach brought a lot more to the table in SK than most would be led to believe.

It really is about time.

Skid Row's two albums without Bach aren't good at all. In fact the last one just might be the worse album ever from a band with there history.

I think they all could use the money. I know the Skid Row Bach years they had a very bad record deal. Snake I'd say is the only one outside of Bach that has a fairly comfortable life style going. Nothing grand but sustainable. I'm sure Snake is making more off managing bands then he is with Skid Row at this point.

It's no secert the hold up is with one Rachel Bolan. A lot of years have gone by, let shit go. Get together and bury some shit. Get everyone in a room and hang out of a few weeks and see how it feels. What is the worse thing that could happen it doesn't work and they put it too bed for good. If things go ok maybe do some summer festival shows and a small 20-25 date tour. Then sit down and see how everyone feels. Maybe at the end of the day they just all agree it doesn't work or feel right or maybe they recapture that fire and Skid Row returns for good.

Maybe they already put it to bed for good? People can talk about all the years that have gone by and all this bullshit, but BACH HASN'T CHANGED! All you have to do is read one press release or listen to one interview and it's clear he's an obnoxious child. Who the hell wants to put up with that? What difference does it make how much time has gone by when he hasn't changed one fucking bit?

Reunion Please!!!

...no original lineup reunion.

uh, wait, who is this again?

Bill Fuck Rules!

Skid Row may be happy playing small, midwest state fairs in front of 70-80 year olds at this stage, with their awful new singer. I agree with the above though, Bolan seems to have NO interest in working with Bach again.

That said...Bach is a loudmouth pain in the ass (almost a pre-req for a great rock lead singer!) and I kind of get it. But I will say this...he still brings it and he's been continuing to kick ass in everything he does. He's done well for himself and I'd love to hear some new Skid Row material with him on it. I thought their last one, Subhuman Race was criminally underrated.

Ex-SKID ROW singer Sebastian Bach says that he "doesn't see what the hold-up is" with his former bandmates' reluctance to reunite with him on vocals.

Bach, who was previously not interested in a reunion and was focusing on his solo career, has since had a change of heart. However, not all the members of SKID ROW seem on board with Bach rejoining the group. Sebastian told VH1 Radio Network's Dave Basner he doesn't understand why that is.

"It would be very simple," the singer said. "It's like a no-brainer. I mean I make my living still singing those songs along with my solo material and so it's very easy for me to walk up to the microphone and sing my own songs that I've been singing for 25 years. So I don't see what the hold-up is. You'd have to ask them."

Bach in July posted a letter on his Facebook page in which he said he was open to reuniting 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 tweet by Bach about a possible SKID ROW reunion was an attempt to "get attention."

Sebastian in 2011 tweeted that he wanted his fans to stop asking him about a possible reunion with his former bandmates after SKID ROW bassist Rachel Bolan made it clear that the group has "never looked back" following Sebastian's dismissal from the band in 1996.

Speaking to SCTimes.com, Bolan stated about Sebastian's departure from SKID ROW, "We thought we were disbanded and that we'd never do it again. Then we kept getting emails and the management office was getting lots of letters about people wanting to see SKID ROW on stage and we really started to miss it. We knew if we got back together, we were going to do things different."

He added, "When Johnny joined the band [in 1999], that really gave us a kick in the ass. It was a different guy there and everything that came out of that guy was positive."

On the topic of the persistent rumors of a reunion with Sebastian, Bolan said, "Actually, there were never any talks. Ever. That was all just total rumor. We got rid of him in the '90s and never looked back. . . After the first tour [with Solinger on vocals], it seemed like this is the way it's always been. It's so weird, I'll hear an old song on the radio and it just sounds so bizarre to me because I'm so used to Johnny singing it."
