In I Remember you he was 18

I'm surprised you didn't gush over that last line more. I can only think of a handful of singers in the rock arena that could deliver a final line like that. The length of the phrase, the amount of air to achieve the powerful climax, and then the tale off at the end. It's one of THE greatest rock/pop climaxes I've ever heard. He's an absolute monster in the genre. And for me, the nasality doesn't turn me off. It helps with the projection and the clarity of diction. Sebastian is at the top tier for this stuff.

Sebastian’s voice is melodic, gritty, emotive, and powerful. He is a dynamic performer as well. In other words, he is a perfect rock vocalist and deserves every bit of praise he’s ever received, plus much much more. 🤘

Range, emotion, breath control AND he's absolutely stunningly beautiful.

One of the most underrated to come from the hair metal scene. Many knew his talent, sadly the short longevity and lack of consistency of hits after their first release banished them to tour openers rather than Top Guys. I recall at the Moscow Music Peace Festival Crew, Row, Zack Wylde, and Jason Bonham covered "Rock & Roll" with Bach and Vince going back and forth and Bach just simply destroyed him on stage. Not too surprising now the way we know Vince turned out. But back then you immediately knew this dude (Bach) had chops for days with Crew being one of the biggest acts at that show and Row being relative new comers.

Agreed that Baz is amazing but he’s hardly underrated. He’s considered one of the best vocalists in the genre ever. He was compared to Halford early in his career.

I've yet to see a vocal analyst on YT give enough credit to Sebastian's dirty/distorted screams. That's where his emotional delivery really shines and he's just on another level with it. It's really difficult to figure out how do that without wrecking your voice for the rest of the song. And it's even more difficult to scream on-pitch while walking up and down scales. Now start clean, transition to a dirty scream, then back to clean again like he does in this song. It's simply amazing, and yet too often (IMO) tragically overlooked and underrated.

Exactly, he has such a rare gift and hard earned skill, there’s a reason you don’t hear many cover band or karaoke bars playing this! 🤣

The handoff to the solo is an all time great 1980's, hairband moment. So powerful... "I swear you'll never be lonely..."

‘Monkey Business’ is the Skid Row you thought you were getting. Most of the band did not even want to record this song, but Bach wanted too (He was in charge of exactly nothing at the time), and Doc McGee (who was their manager - and KISS’s manager, and Bon Jovi’s manager, listened to the rough version, sided with Bach and forced them to do it. Everyone’s telling you to do ‘Wasted Time’ but you need to do the harder stuff that the band actually wanted to do - like ‘Slave to the Grind’ or the aforementioned ‘Monkey Business’ or even ‘18 and Life’ also a power ballad.

So correct. Also a very much overlooked song by KZread reactionaries. Wasted Time is better vocal performance and composition, but it really should be a third reaction.

The best way I can describe Sebastian Bach. He is a well trained war horse. There is a massive amount of power in him. He can make it prance, canter, walk, gallop and full out power run. He knows how to and when to hold back. Yet even when gentle you can feel the power there. Like petting a giant work horse. You can feel the power underneath the surface, you know that horse could hurt you but they can hold it in and be so sweet and gentle. That is Sebastian, his voice can be so sweet and gentle. But he can turn that power on whenever he pleases. It is always impressive.

This song is almost 36 years old. I've seen him perform throughout the years and people still really love seeing him get up there. I don't believe i've heard him sing this nearly close to this in many, many years. But, remembering when it came out and even now, just how the whole song comes across...I think it's one of the greatest rock ballads. Especially of that era of music. Passionate. I love your disections in these videos. It allows me to really understand & picture things more, whether it's the physical body & the way it works or just giving me new imagery with the way the song itself comes across. I've had a block with singing so these things will help me get back on track.❤

The term Skid Row while being well known as a depressed part of Los Angeles (which some might argue is what the Whole City is now becoming…) is actually derived from an old Logging phrase. It came from ‘skid road’ where timber logs were dragged lengthy distances from the forests & even sometimes greased to make the process easier, down to the river for floating transport to lumber mills down river… As one could imagine the impact of such a process left a lasting impact on the land & many roads. When it went through a community often a small town, hamlet, or village as this era of logging was long in our past & & generally in rural communities, the area was often later seen as the less desirable place to live… Thus the name ‘skid road’ & later becoming ‘skid row.’

When the best time of your life comes to an end. When what you had hoped for goes away and life becomes miserable. You stare at pictures as if they will return the one you lost. And you remember everything in painful details. All you wanna hear is that you are still remembered. At some point the pictures and the memories starts to hurt more than they satisfy you. Thats when you need to get rid of the memories and start new ones. Only thing is: "Please remember me, as I will never forget you"

This song will always remind me of one of my clients with whom I do therapy. His homelessness leads him to the love of his life. All the time they spend being homeless through the winters really fits in well with this song. How they got separated along the way and found their way back together.

Yes, the whole band was very young. Def Leopards first album, High N Dry, they actually were all under 20 years old. Still blows me away and at the time gave me hope for my dreams.

This is an outstanding breakdown, and I'm not even done listening to it yet. This is a song I am working on to sing along to solo acoustic accompaniment. The absolute most important thing that I learned doing this song is what you pointed out at the beginning of this video. If I can sing this as just a part of my natural breathing, taking deep breaths that are timed just before each line, I can make it most of the way through the song. But I struggle with PND, and there is always a fear that I'm going to cough if I take a deep breath right before a line, so I'm only able to keep that up for so long before my discipline breaks. In most songs, there are breaks here and there where I can collect myself, but Bach is doing this the whole freaking song except for the solo. Every single moment of this song outside of the solo is dedicated to some kind of action that gets ready for the next line, and if I miss one of those, the entire rest of the song is kaput. I don't struggle with hitting the notes, per se. I struggle hitting the notes because, quite frankly, I'm winded by the time we get to the tough ones.

Before Skid Row , while he was in a band in Canada.. Bach used to run up behind the stage, jump onto a trampoline, Dive Over the Drummer as he goes into a roll as he hits the stage , Jumps up and begins Singing right into the crowds face.... Insane....

“Wasted Time” from Skid Row next please its such a powerful song

I love how enthusiastic she is about the most subtle minutia of each technique. Just something really beautiful about seeing such enthusiasm for her passion.

Agree! She is great to watch

I have no idea how I ended up with The Charismatic Voice videos on my KZread feed, but I'm SO GLAD I did! I've watched countless videos of yours and love them all. It's so fun watching a classically trained, professional opera singer listen to (often for the first time) songs that have been staples in my musical library for decades. Your analysis of these songs is completely fascinating to this rock drummer who knows absolutely nothing about vocal technique. In truth, I've heard "I Remember You" so many times I'd be happy not to hear it again. But your analysis made it fun to revisit this song and helped me understand it on an entirely new level. Many thanks for what you do.

I Love Her. ;)

so much fun to listen to a classically trained vocal expert listen and talk about her take on music that a lot of us grew up with...AWESOME and thanks Elizabeth!!

I love your understanding of breathe and emotion of this song. Thank you.

Youth Gone Wild was my introduction to Skid Row so I always have a soft spot for that one. He really is underrated! ❤

I, as an old man who heard this on the radio, think, and mind you not a fan 30 years ago, that this is one of the most underrated talents of our age. He's a Gilmore girl for god sake!! This is not only an underrated, talented man but an actual true to life honest to goodness, good man.

@@theubercasteyeah, that tv show from some year’s back now- he was a regular character for a few seasons and was great in it!

Amazing vocal! Amazing breath control! WOW!

I’m not sure how much nasal is too much nasal, but to my untrained ear, this is one of the most beautiful vocals ever! I have been waiting for the Skid Row entrance for a long time.

Fun fact about this song: the one line at the end of the song that has the extra harmony you noticed on "I remember...", that harmony is sung by Jon Bon Jovi. He heard the song and said "I gotta be on this" so they hid him in there uncredited. In a Darkened Room by Skid Row is my favorite song in the entire world. I have it tattooed on me. It makes me emotional, and Sebastian's voice on that song is unbelievable. Please review that one!! They have been my favorite band since i was a little kid, they mean the world to me. Scotti Hill is hands down my favorite guitar player on earth (who i was lucky enough to meet a few weeks ago and is a truly wonderful person) and he is known for his highly emotive guitar solos, especially on their ballads. As far as what you expected from Skid Row, you're not wrong to think they're edgy, you just picked a soft song 😂 For heavier, edgier Skid Row, i highly recommend Monkey Business, Psycho Love, The Threat or Slave to the Grind

Not trolling. Think you either mistyped or spell check changed it, but think you mean "The Threat". And yes, I agree with you, it's an excellent song for his vocals. I thought for vocal fry a good song for her, though it would never get enough votes on here, would be "Big Guns" off of the 1st album. That ending vocally has to be tough, even for Sab.

​​@@richardmulkey1772yes in the video, but the video is not a live recording. Scotti sings that part on stage, doesn't mean that's how they recorded it in the studio. They have stated in many interviews that Jon recorded it in the studio. So has Jon.

When I first heard this song I cried a good lookin dude hitting the notes! I was in love

I saw them live in a medium sized club, I can't ever forget how amazing he sang "In a Darkened Room". It felt like I was literally...well..in his voice. That only happened two other times, Steve Perry and Sharon den Adel did the same thing. Bach is just amazing!!

"it's more important to bring heart than to bring perfection." Beautifully said.

You have got to listen to "Wasted Time" by these guys. Incredible vocals. Shows off Sebastian's vocal range.

Many 80’s hard rock singers had great range, but Sebastian’s beautiful and gritty distortion is really what sets him apart. 89-92, there was nobody better in my opinion.

He was one of the most beautiful men i have ever seen. He is around my age and i seen him in person back in the day and i fell in love ❤️ He sounded the same as his recordings! What an awesome singer and Ive seen alot of the best and he is one of them!

Wasted Time and In A Darkened Room are the two most glorious vocal performances by Sebastian Bach, for his seamless clean to vocal fry sustained notes. Absolutely incredible!

And don’t forget the last note of Quicksand Jesus. He has said that’s the highest he ever sang…

The extra vocal harmony at the end of the song is actually Jon Bon Jovi. Skid Rows bassist said in an interview one time he stopped in the studio one day as they were recording this track and they all said “throw down a vocal harmony or something.” Now each time I always notice Bon Jovi’s small vocal thrown in. Amazing detail and amazing song!

Wasted time is the best in vocal terms, really shows Sebastian's abilities

One of my favorite songs I grew up with. Glad you liked it!

The song is just so heartbreaking. :(

This one is totally awesome. "Wasted time" is another crazy level of awesomeness!

I am always so impressed with his use of vibrato. Some of the best of any male rock vocalist.

Great voice! I remember going to see them on this tour and the one after. Great shows.

I love your explanations. I’m not a singer. I’m a drummer but you explain things that I remember “feeling “ in these songs. Where the breaks are how each breath is taken . You do it in a way even someone who doesn’t sing can relate to. You’re a very very talented young lady. God bless you, your husband and your little one.

18 and life is by far my favorite by them . I grew up traveling on the road with my dad who worked for Bon Jovi and Skid Row opened for them on one of the tours. Sebastian's voice carried so amazing through the arenas every night that I hear him and get flashbacks and goosebumps still.

You got that right. I was a teeanger in the late 1980's. My first concert ever was Skid Row opening up for Bon Jovi in 1989 (was 18). Skid Row was so much better than Bon Jovi that the rumor was Jon changed Skid Row for a different opening band because the crowds were there for Skid Row. In 1992 Skid Row opened for Ozzy No More Tears tour and again, Skid Row outperformed Ozzy. Bach's vocal range even live was insane.

It's heartening to hear a music person talk about music as one myself. These silly little details are the juice/spark of ear candy. Thank you

Many years ago I was working backstage catering for a charity show he was performing at. I've been to hundreds of concerts and he has by far the most powerful voice I've heard, which is even more amazing considering I was backstage and only hearing the audio from the stage monitors. He's also a pretty nice guy.

From the very instant that I found The Charismatic Voice, a few years ago, I instantly thought of how I’d love for you to hear and react to Sebastian Bach, this song in particular. Today, that dream came true for both of us, as well as everyone else in this beautiful community. Thank you so much for making my day, and may your day be met with Mr. Blue Sky tomorrow!! 🎼🎶🎵

BEST SONG EVER! I CANT TELL YOU HOW MANY TIMES I'VE WATCHED THIS VIDEO IN MY 60 YEARS! One of the sexiest lead vocalists of our days for sure. THAT HAIR AND THOSE LIPS. HE'S JUST BEAUTIFUL! He was on The Masked Singer and STILL has that amazing voice!

Love your videos, so glad you made this, been waiting forever for you to do a Sebastian Bach analysis. I'll put my vote in for "In a Darkened Room" or "Wasted Time" if you decide to do more.

Wasted time is incredible. Ive been waiting years for a Bach reaction.

I think I read somewhere that Sebastian Bach is classically trained vocally. Anyway, I am a percussionist, and the drum sequence on this track was the first that I had ever learned when I played with a band in high school my freshmen year many,many moons ago 😅 I love your reaction video especially how you breakdown the artists musicality and skill sets. Thank you for taking me back to a time when music was actual music. Well done.

Sebastian Bach (Whilst he was with Skid Row) created a once in a lifetime music masterpiece that i can only compare to the feelijg tou get when you have a highschool crush. The emotions that are released from within me, whilst listening to their songs are just as powerful today as they were back in the late 80's. What a time to be alive, i remember seeing them as a warm-up act to Bonjovi and i was completely blown away. Slave To The Grind Album holds so many of my most treasured and youthful memories that i carry with me to this day. Thank you Skid Row and thank you Sebastian Bach for the memories. As a new subscriber to your channel id love to hear you critique 'In A Darkened Room' sung by Sebastian. To me its a vocal and lryical masterpiece. ❤

Oh my gosh! You’ve never done this song before?! This is going to be fun. The lyrics, his singing, his performance. Seriously, to be that good looking and have that much talent is just not fair to the rest of us.
