Exactly this! Absolute peak Sebastian Bach

The song was written by Sebastian Bach about his friend Steven Adler, the drummer in Guns N' Roses who had such a bad heroin addiction that he was fired from the band and while they went on to be one of the biggest bands in the world his life spiraled downwards, to the point that five years after this song he had a drug related stroke that has left him with partial facial paralysis ever since. Also, Slave to the Grind is one of the best rock albums ever made. Period.

In the song when he says "The horse stampedes and rages" that is reference to heroin (street named horse as it gives you a hard kick) that his friend Steven Adler was struggling with.

In his prime, Bach was untouchable as a singer

For years Skidrow tried to find a lead singer as talented as Sebastian but truth is that no one is as good as Sebastian was and he was the soul of Skidrow

Sebastian blew out his voice recording this track. He talked about that in his book. He said he pushed his voice too hard on Wasted time.

Skid Row often got attention because of Sebastian Bach's incredible voice, but don't sleep on the band. Scottie Hill is one of the best guitar players from the era, Dave 'Snake' Sabo also a great guitarist, Rachel Bolan was not just a guy with a nosering on a chain but a great bass player too, and Rob Affuso is a really good drummer. Thanks to coming on the scene near the end of the "hair metal" era, they get overlooked a lot. Slave To The Grind is an amazing record.

This is my favorite skid row song. So good

This entire album is a vocal masterpiece. Sebastian's peak as a vocalist. Just incredible. He said he blew out his voice making this record, and you can understand why. He held nothing back. Every ounce of emotion and soul went into every note that he sang on the Slave To The Grind album.

In the times I've watched your reaction to some of the most incredible music,I've learned that you have a wonderful heart ❤️

@@GianlucaImprotaPT Don't get me wrong, from 89 to around 94 Sebastian Bach was one of best vocalist in that genre, no doubt. But without the songs mainly written by Snake/Bolan, Sebastian would not of had the fame or exposure. If you remember the Bon Jovi tour got them a mass of exposure, and probably would not of got on that tour if Snake and Jon Bon Jovi weren't friends from school. And unfortunately now Sebastian seems to not do the Skid Row songs justice, judging by his current tour.

@@GibraltarRocks I understand your point. But this is a conjecture ("without the songs mainly written by Snake/Bolan, Sebastian would not of had the fame or exposure"). You don't actually know that. But let's just look the thing from the other side. Would people still remember Skid Row if the band had kept Matt Fallon or any other singer? Again, just conjecture, because that didn't happen, so we simply don't know. Let's look at the facts: Skid Row peaked with Slave to the Grind. Yes, awesome song written by Snake and Rachel, but who do you think composed the vocal melody line? I've played in various bands and usually it's the singer who arranges that. But for the sake of the argument, let's just say Snake and Rachel composed the vocal line also. They needed someone like Bach in order to execute it. I can write the most amazing piece of music but if I don't have the technical ability to perform it, nobody is ever going to hear. it. In my opinion (notice I'm not saying this is the absolute truth) Skid Row got famous because the band had a phenomenal vocalist, a good lead guitar player, and some really good tunes. Try to play a skid row song to someone who never listened to it. What do you think they are. going to be blown away by? Rachel's awesome and complex bass line ? Snake's monstrous rhythm guitars? Or is it going to be the amazing vocals and maybe the lead guitars? You know the answer. Just google "skid row reactions" and watch a couple of reaction videos. Regarding Bach not do the songs justice, again it's debatable. I understand he doesn't sound like 30 years ago. You know what? I don't expect him to do it. Everybody gets older. Every band could hire a younger and better member to sound better. Metallica could fire Lars and hire a better drummer. Maybe they would sound better, but is it still metallica at that point? Dream Theater could replace James La Brie and get a better singer, yet he is still there. I don't know man, to me loving a band is more than just wanting the band to sound good. Look a Megadeth, Dave keeps hiring a younger and better lead guitar player. They all sound awesome. Yet the fans still ask for Marty to come back. That's just my opinion. No offense

Sebastian Bach gets A LOT of praise for this song, and rightfully so. He absolutely KILLS it on vocals. But let's give credit to the band behind him as well, they make this song SO MUCH more powerful. Overall, this song with vocals and instrumentation, is simply...EPIC! Enjoyed your reaction, saw the welling up in your eyes and yeah, Sebastian has that effect. He can really make you FEEL the song. If you want another Skid Row song, where Sebastian's vocals are on display. You can check out either, A Darkened Room or Quicksand Jesus. Keep up the GREAT work! 🤘🤘🤘

Quicksand Jesus is an absolute killer💪

Skid Row is one of my favorite Rock and Roll bands from the late 80' early 90'. Now contemplating on their work of art, they are a heavy metal opera, pure rock and roll poetry who followed in the steps of their predecessor such as Queen.

That voice is absolutely gorgeous 😢.

Watching someone you love go through addiction. Watching the one you love die every day in front of you, every day. The quilt you feel. Finding them in there last moments. holding them as they take there last breath. I miss my friend......

Fun trivia fact: this album, Slave to the Grind was the 1st metal album to debut at #1 on the Billboard chart. Due to the introduction of Soundscan, which electronically tracked album sales nationwide. Back in the old old days, Billboard would call certain record stores and ask what albums were selling, giving an inaccurate picture of what may have been popular.

I was a roadie for a band that opened up for Skid Row in the early 80’s. Good times 🤘🏻

I concur below, we need a A Darkened Room

Omg Aileen! I'm so happy you discovered this song! One of my favorite songs of all time. It's incredibly hard for me to listen to because I've lost several friends to addiction. This is one of the best, if not the best vocal performances in any rock song. It's a very painful but SO beautiful. Thank you and best wishes...🙂

Still listening to the first two albums on a regular basis since I was a kid, those boys (snake Sabo and Scotty hill) just shred those fretboards....and then there's Bach's singing! 💥Boom, magic.🎸🙏🤘

Had Skid Row come along just a few years earlier they would have absolutely dominated, for far longer than they got to. This era pushing into the early 90’s is really interesting to look back into, the 80’s was gone and we hadn’t accepted that yet. The Cold War was over, grunge was making inroads and we got to see a really early Internet. Sad in one way but opened a whole new world of music in the 90’s. Despite being an 80’s hair metal die hard, I lived it, I really do love the variety the 90’s brought us. Film too in that period, there was SO much around, all with banger soundtracks.

We had such phenomenal music! And your right the movies of tge 80s was next level.

I'm sure one of the comments or your own research has found out that Sébastien Bach is a classically trained singer. His voice at this time in his career was phenomenal. In a darkened room, is a great song.

Bazz is the ultimate male rock singer (Steve Perry you are the benchmark) . No one ever can punch into your soul the emotion and absolute dedication with every annunciation. Words. Started and will end this world. Sebastian is the communicator, you physically feel his words

This song makes me cry 😢 everytime i hear it. Steve Adler was the drummer for GNR which was Sebastián Bach' best friend, he was a heroine addict & the part that says "Horse stampedes inside", is referring to heroine, as it gives you a "kick" they called heroine "horse" Steve did almost Overdose a few times. Hes still alive, but it did leave him partially paralyzed! Deep & sad song! Thanks sweetie & great reaction!💗🤘

This song hit me like a ton of bricks when it was released because i was going through a similar situation with my brother, unfortunately things got the better of him not long after the song came out.

If anyone can listen to this song, and not have it bring a tear to your eye... You've got no heart. This is an extremely emotional song, and Sebastian's voice conveys that emotion hauntingly.

Loved your reaction to this one!! Keep up the great work!

My thing is if you are going to play a video . like this ... there's a heavy story behind it....that is why singers like this are to be recognized....this is a true singer...that dumps everything they have into their songs.....

Prime Sebastian was something else.

Sebastian Bach wrote the lyrics to the song “Wasted Time” 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,

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.

I had a friend who was like the little brother I never had that died way too young. Every time I hear this song I think of him and my eyes well up with tears.

So powerful and REAL; he left it all on the stage and you can see how invested in this song he was and how it really affected him watching his friend spiral down. One of their best.

This still makes me cry...Sebastian was feeling that to his core and he didn't hold back. And I'd just like to say that Scotti did such an amazing job in this song. They all brought their A game but Scotti's solo mirrored Sebastian's agony so beautifully.

Quicksand Jesus is a must hear.

Scotty Hill is Skid Row

The song wasn't about him he write it about a friend who struggled with drug addiction

I get the chills whenever I hear this song. I lost someone I loved dearly to heroin addiction and we were together over 23yrs our son thankfully doesn’t even have an inkling to go near anything drug related. However I warn people All the time. It can be one and done.

I’ve been waiting for this one. 🤘🍻

Aileen you have such an emotional connection to music. You feel the ups and downs in songs. From the wail of a good guitar riff to the scream of a singer. You are amazing girl. I love you.

Sebastian had one of the best voices back in the day. I seen Skid Row 15 times back in the 80's and 4 times in the 90's

one of my favorite songs. it gets me in the guts the same way. so awesome to see the emotion in your face.

This is off of Skid Row’s 2nd album, “Slave To The Grind”, which came at the end of the ‘hair metal’ era, right before the Seattle sound took over in the early 90’s. It’s a total banger, every track was awesome, which is saying something as their 1st album was the one with the big crossover hits. Side note the kid used in this video is the same kid who played “Jeremy” in the Pearl Jam video.

New to your channel! Been binging it a bit the last couple days. Literally just came from watching your reaction to "I Remember You" when I saw you just posted this one. Love Skid Row!! 🤘🏻 A couple others to check out...Quicksand Jesus, In a Darkened Room, or for something more upbeat, Slave to the Grind!

It was written about Steven Adler,the original Guns and Roses drummer,who has battled massive addiction for years.

I've loved this song since it's release in '92 and it gets more meaningful to me every year since

This was written by the Singer Sebastian Bach's Best Friend ex drummer of guns & Rose's who was out of control addicted to heavy drugs fortunately he hasn't passed away yet

oh i am sure i told you before but i love you! your video reactions rule!

I remember turning 30 and thinking everything was over. I remember hitting 40 and knowing it was. Parents passed one after the other, mum in 2010, lost my job and health in 2011, and dad went in 2012. I tried to follow in 2015, 5 days in hospital. Then I got sicker. In 2021 I gave up again my body and mind ruined by illness and isolation. That's where the channel name comes from. But for whatever reason at the very end of 21, into the start of 22 I made new music. The first since dad died. I called it Rubbish, because it was something throwaway. Then I got sick again, hospitalised 6 times... But last year after being diagnosed with a rare neurological disorder I got back to recording. Two albums. As ridiculous and broken as me, and a total waste of time and effort. They went nowhere, but they're mine. I made them. I played all the instruments, write all the music, make the stupid videos, everything. Even as crippled and useless as I am, with frequent seizures I made these things. What's my point...? Don't worry about age, don't worry too much about what you've done. Just take a little time to decide what you want to do. For me I condensed the goal to simply making music. I'll never be successful, but I am still a musician. I'm still being true to the essence of my delusion. You've got plenty of time, and your health, if I can make these things, then there's nothing stopping you except you. Love the channel, been binge watching so much. If you want a recommendation, Dir en grey live with Vinushka (Androgynos live, a channel called Kaya). Kyo is one of those emotionally invested vocalists who embodies and inhabits his songs. You can also check out my stuff, Rubbish and Garbage are ok, Not Dead is interesting. But you don't have to. Keep doing your thing, keep feeling the music.

yeah, i'm turning 30 this year too and i've done nothing absolutely nothing, i got no kids not even a girlfriend i just work and then do nothing... i've really started to think all the things i could've done differently in my past and how much better life i could have lived and live, but maybe some day i fix my problems and then i could live a better life and have a better future

Great Reaction! You getting emotional made me emotional😢

Slave to the grind is such a fookin awesome album.

Epic song, the delivery conveys so much emotion. Just brilliant.

Sebastian has endured alot of pain. Not only does it show when singing, anyone who has met him say " hes an awesome guy." He is able to express anguish perectly. Only one who knows that pain can sing it for others who do too and alot of young and old do.

There are a handful of reaction channels I watch and all for different reasons. A few are immensely talented on pointing out the technical aspects, some you just want to see how they react in general but you get your own lane AileenSenpai. You seem to really get the music and connect with it in what I envision the artists hoped the listeners would hear and feel.

I’ve seen them a few times with Sebastian back in the day. The first time they were supported by Pantera. Incredible show

This was very personal for Skid Row. They toured with GnR for their first album all summer long. They became very good friends. This is about Steven Adlers heroine addiction that eventually led to his being fired from GnR. One of the greatest rock ballads ever recorded. The message carries so much weight. Its a timeless classic.

Wow, I haven't heard this in such a long time. I almost forgot about it and am so glad you returned it. It is a truly wonderful song. Aileen, all those emotions you feel are normal. As we get older, we feel our decisions, but it's ok. Anyone who lives long has those same thoughts, etc. It is what we do with them that counts. Read some Anton Lavey; that always helps with deprogramming [from regrets, expectations, etc.] and fueling that fire. Life is about building; we can only evolve, and of course, we stumble a bit here and there. Brush yourself off and start anew; you are a bad a$$; let rock and roll be your fuel.

I love this song. And Sebastian s voice still has this awesome sound.

"Am I the who I wanna be?" Very few of us are.

This song just hits me so hard after losing my cousin to heroin/fentanyl...just a gut wrenching song

This hits really hard for anyone that has know someone that has spiraled into addiction and could not do anything to stop it.
