Brother Sebastian Bach has THE voice for power ballads. His ability to carry a note for a day and a half is beyond incredible.

Well ...He is in my top 15...There are just to many great singers to really rank them correctly...

This song is about Steven Adler, the original Guns n Roses drummer. he was kicked out of GnR cause of his massive heroin addiction. After that he had a stroke and heart attack. he's alive and sober now but has a problem with his speech.

Wow. How about that. I have a very convoluted GnR/Slaughter/Bon Jovi/Skid Row connection: For starters, I think everybody knows that there would've never been a Skid Row without Bon Jovi. Several years ago, I became good friends with Phil Varone (Saigon Kick drummer) when he was playing with Skid Row and we would chat for hours at night. (My husband thought it was kinda cool that a rock star had the hots for his wife ~LOL~.) One evening, in fact, Phil was quite excited because they'd just had dinner at Jon Bon Jovi's house, which blew his mind. I even got to chat with Snake that night. At that same time, I had a roadie friend I'd met through Slaughter and he was now with Bon Jovi. That Thanksgiving, I got to party with Skid Row after an Atlanta concert, but Bas was no longer with them. 😢 A few years ago, Steven Adler had his own band, Adler, and my friend Jacob Bunton was his lead singer and the man who kept him out of trouble. That's just an example of how small the world can be.

Skid Row frontman Sebastian Bach wrote the lyrics to this song about his friend Steven Adler, who was the original drummer for Guns N' Roses. Adler had a severe heroin addiction that affected his performance, and the band fired him in 1990. He struggled with addiction for most of his life, even appearing on the TV show Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew in 2008. Yes horse is a name for heroin !! Steven is actually doing really good now ! He came back and beat it real good so Far !

That doesn't make me a better person than anyone else embroiled in their own battle, but I'm living, breathing proof that it CAN be done. When this song came out, I was in grade 8 and I fell in love with it thinking "I'll never let that happen to myself". Well, it happened. My only advice is do what I did, never give up hope that colour will come back into the world one day. Fight the good fight. Much love.

Sebastian Bach was 1 in a trillion. He sings with so much power and emotion. Never be anyone better!!

Wasted Time, In a Darkened Room & Quicksand Jesus are possibly the best songs of that generation and it’s all on one album. Sebastian could hit notes so out of range from regular singers. Absolutely incredible

I have heard that over the years as well, and I am happy as heck to report that Steven is indeed alive & well. A close friend of mine traveled nearly 13 hours back in May 2019 to see Autograph open up for Steven Adler's Appetite for Destruction (solo band playing GnR songs from that album). The show was in Pennsylvania and we were fortunate enough to meet Steven and hang out backstage before the show - super cool, approachable, and beautiful spirit y'all! He does have some slurred speech goin' on, but man...he can still play his kit with skill and ease. So good.

Such a shame as Gnr were never the same after Steven was kicked out. The current line up is just a circus, nothing like the gritty, dirty rock n roll the original five produced.

One of my all time favorites its one of the most powerful songs ever and Sebastiáns vocals make it everything.

Sebastian has done things on Broadway, Phantom of the opera, and Jesus Christ Superstar. He's very diverse, and under rated. He was also very smart about marketing himself, and investing his money. Not a dumb rockstar. He still performs with his solo band. And still has his voice.

This song just rips me apart every time I hear it. I lost someone very close to me 20 years ago. Every line of this song is so hard to hear because it's so close to my situation. The feeling that I couldve and should've done more but didn't. 😭

"And the horse stampedes in rages in the name of desperation." Oh man, that lyric there pierces my heart. Such a truly amazing song!

This song always reminds me of my best friend, Alan. We were super tight, and I joined the Navy and lost touch due to distance. But even when this song was released he was on the path to follow the theme of this song, which he ultimately did. Tears me up every time I hear it.

Yes, Jamel. “The horse stampedes and rages.” Horse is a street slang for heroin. Another commenter already mentioned that this was written about/for Steven Adler, the original drummer for Guns and Roses who was kicked out because of his heroin addiction. Interestingly, bass player Rachel Bolan who helped write the song calls it “the biggest piece of shit we ever recorded.” I definitely can’t agree with him.

Rachel holds a lot of animosity towards Sebastian, even still after all these years, so I think anytime Sebastian shines, Rachel gets tetchy about it. And yeah, Skid Row without Sebastian is... not worth it. Sebastian on the other hand is out there being the same as always.

That's what you call a power ballad. Sebastian Bach's vocals are otherworldly, not to mention how good looking he was back then.

This album came out the year I turned 30 in a couple of weeks I hit 60...Still one of my favorite albums.
