Sebastian Bach, a former member of Skid Row and current lead vocalist of Twisted Sister, discussed his desire to create new music and perform his most recent solo songs live rather than solely depending on his former band’s discography in a recent interview with the Iron City Rocks podcast, as per Blabbermouth.
Well, we do ‘What Do I Got To Lose?’ and ‘Freedom’and ‘Future Of Youth’ [from my latest album, 2024’s ‘Child Within The Man’], we do those every show, and we do ‘(Hold On) To The Dream’ 99% of the shows. So those are four tunes that are in the set. And my audience makes no distinction between — it just fits right in.
Bach made reference to other musicians who devote nearly all of their time to performing their songs.
I understand that way of thinking, but that would be soboring to me, to not have any new songs. I would be bored out of my mind. I’m not into this to be bored. I’m always gonna be putting out new stuff, ’cause that’s what I enjoy doing. But I should preface that by saying, don’t really hold your breath for the next one, because we had the total odd occurrence of the pandemic, which allowed me and the musicians to just concentrate on nothing except for that album. And rock and roll’s always reinventing itself and nowadays people are just clamoring to come to shows. And I think it’s because we all spend so much time on our phones and our computers and staring at screens that we all are, like, ‘Enough. Oh my God. Let’s go rock out and have fun with our friends and our family and sing songs that we love and be together with other people instead of just staring at a screen.’ That’s really the way I feel.
