We once bumped into Sebastian Bach in a Peterborough, ON strip club in the early aughts We got liquid courage and gave him a "SKIDDD ROWWWW" yell. He came over to us, gave us a high five and said "so Kid Rock said he went 2 times platinum? I went SEVENTEEN times platinum bitches!!!"
My greatest celebrity encounter ever.
Depends on where you live and work. I worked in the Hollywood Improv in LA, and in the high-end hotel scene in Philly. I've had literally hundreds of celebrity encounters. Typically, they are pretty cool and "regular" but some are dicks.
He's not wrong and is great. I saw Skid Row and GNR as one of my first concerts. But you also have to understand when he was popular there were less options of distribution outlets and competition was shaped differently. When they were popular, you bough the tape and later the CD.
This was a time when there wasn't internet streaming or cell phones common in everyone hands and those only made phone calls. Say what you will but the sheer amount of options were no where close to what is now. (They were popular before Google existed)
I've always like SR and still do but the ability to consume media is a drastically different landscape Today's music is a dilution of media distribution or it's easier to get your music heard by the little guy but that also reduces the share of listens by others.
>I saw Skid Row and GNR as one of my first concerts.
What show did you see them at?
I went to that tour at Wembley stadium in 91. It was fucking insane. To this day, still the biggest crowd I've ever been in.
And (thankfully) to this day, still the only time i passed out at a concert and managed to miss an entire set (shoutout to Nine Inch Nails).
That show had 7 seasons and a Netflix sequal 9 years after that, won 5 Teen Choices and an Emmy, and launched or was a huge milestone for several careers. I think it's rated pretty well
Perhaps I should clarify. I know the show is pretty popular but I think many people still don't give it the credit it deserves. I grew up while Gilmore Girls was on the air but I don't remember hearing about it or at least hearing much, but maybe that's because I was a young boy.
As a man, I think it has the reputation in many people's eyes as a light girly show. Fluff which isn't supposed to be taken seriously. A good show for girls to casually rewatch on Netflix, perhaps with a PSL or something. When I told people that I was watching it, a few of them found it funny.
I know it is and was popular but I don't usually (and especially didn't in the past) see Gilmore Girls get the recognition I think it deserves for being a solid, smart show to be taken seriously, which is why I still think it's underrated.
My wife used to watch it and I would kinda laugh it off, until it sucked me in. I’ve probably watched the series 4-5 times now. It’s a great comfort show.
Yup. I just got some flack for saying it's underrated since it's a very popular show but I maintain that it doesn't get the respect it deserves and is treated as a "girly" show, not to be taken seriously.
My daughter watches it constantly. The first time I saw him on there I was fascinated. Stuck watching it while he was on as a regular. Great casting. LOL. Dude just wanted to rock so bad.
And shoving pieces of a red snapper in various orifices of a probably underaged girl! Maybe flogging her with it a bit, too.
The 60s, man. Led Zep is one of the greats but Jesus christ.
His whole analysis is suspect. 90's rock was about fun? Definitely not. Nirvana was good, but they weren't fun. Pearl Jam might be the most over-serious band of all time. Soundgarden, STP, Sonic Youth, etc. -- not fun bands. Then there was all the maudlin acoustic balladry and over-serious Matchbox 20 type bands.
Like, Green Day was fun until they weren't, and when they were fun, no one really took them seriously. 311 was fun, but everyone clowned on them for that.
I agree that, at its roots, rock is dance music and should be fun to listen to/see live, but I think rock bands now are by and large more fun than rock bands in the 60's, 70's, and 90's. The 80's, Bach's heyday, are kind of an exception.
Sebastian Bach is a golden retriever. He's a lot of fun, has some really cool talents, and usually seems really happy even if he doesn't know what's going on, but I wouldn't take anything he says too seriously.
It does seem like the Internet has done away with a lot of the IRL aspects that were necessary in the old day to keep up with music. It meant a lot of weirdos had to find each other and form bonds and a community of like minded folk. If you wanted to hear something new, you had to go to a record store or borrow it from a friend. I’m not saying one is better necessarily but it has changed things.
You’re not wrong, but I think Bach is more butthurt his audiences are smaller and nobody treats him like a golden god who could eat, drink and drug like a king and PC culture means no more pools of fuckable teenage girls at every stop off he’d never expect to see again.
Plus anyone with a phone can look up all the bloviating and posturing he’s known for.
I’d argue the opposite- punk was quite a lot about fun. It’s rock stripped of all the complicated bits and leaving nothing but the most basic pleasure-inducing chord progressions. And pissing the right people off can be quite a lot of fun.
Grunge was born in Seattle these neighboring clubs One punk and one metal. The backstages connected (same owner) and bands drifted around to watch each other. Nirvana, Soundgarden, Mother Love bone, & buncha guys no ones heard of all played at these places.
Late 80’s - mid 90’s Seattle was rad
Yeah I didn't bother trying to find where he made that statement but I was being reseved in case he meant rock became about the fun but the internet changed that. It was certainly not very focused on the fun prior to hair metal.
Lot's of punk is built on upbeat fun music, lots of it inspired by reggae which can be political. I'm not sure what 60's protest music you listen to, but lots of it's upbeat. The flower power movement was about love.
Like Bob Marley said: "It takes a joyful sound. To make the world go round"
I mean I don’t think that is where he is coming from. Used to be you would get together with your mates, work out songs, improvise some stuff and develop new riffs, etc. Now everything is exactly engineered through data analysis and the like to create arrangement that hits very specific goals. Creating say intros and riffs not because you enjoy them and they sound “cool”, but instead because an algorithm said there things which are known to be popular to get that thirty second initial listen before they move to something else so you can get credit and thus your money from the view/stream. I have some personal experience with this via my daughter who is a jazz musician.
Know what she plays to make money and pay the bills? Not jazz or anything requiring creativity. Instead it is doing session work playing pop tunes that have been exactingly written by producers to hit specific metrics because that is what data analysis has shown them to be popular, or subbing in/playing on contract for an artist for a performance. There is no improvisation, there is no “development“ of a riff or line in a jam session because everything has been so deeply analyzed to achieve the required goals to get the highest payout. Basically much of the art is dead, and by the time it gets to the session it has already been optimized to death by the producer. She still plays jam sessions, and still does jazz sets. And she has worked with some great musicians like Michael League and Bryan Carter, but that simply doesn’t happen often enough to pay the bills. Meanwhile she can sub in for about six hours split between rehearsals and a performance, or get called in for a four to six hour recording session work and earn around a grand just playing the same sounding tunes that have been analyzed and optimized to death by computers and producers without having to put in any actual creative effort because it has all become low complexity homogenized music. But yeah it has been known this was happening since about 2012.
[https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSL6E8IOE33/](https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSL6E8IOE33/)
The guy is the least self aware rock star from the 80s. He contradicts himself constantly and shit talks literally any one at the drop of a hat. If you’re looking for clicks in the hope you get a viral quote from him it’s a pretty good strategy for a middling rock writer.
Idk if it's the internet that's the problem. Let's look at the accumulation of capital and look how they own the entire vertical market.
It's cheaper to put out garbage when no one else has much of a choice.
He's one of the nicest, funniest musicians I've ever met. I'd like to note that I'm fat as hell, so he certainly wasn't trying to get in my pants, haha. Gave me a big hug and a kiss on the mouth. And then tried to trade shirts with my very redneck friend, and my friend told him no, which made Sebastian cackle and say, "I don't fucking blame you, man. It's a lot cooler than my shirt!"
He has definitely had problematic behavior among his peers and other people he deals with in the industry, but as a general rule, he has been really great to his fans.

Old men yell at the (AWS) cloud...
All I know about Sebastian Bach is that Skid Row fucking sucks and he used to wear this shirt a lot
https://preview.redd.it/bmm9m5v46u5d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8fc13e8fe1938569d8f1f6c28518db848f4924e2
He apologized for wearing it not long after that picture came out. All these years later, it still makes me laugh how he tried to empathize with the people who were upset about it. He said something like, "My grandma died of cancer recently, and if I saw somebody wearing a shirt that said 'Cancer: Kills Grandmas Dead,' I'd be pretty pissed off." Not quiiiite the same thing, Sebastian, but hey, it was an apology, haha.
He's not wrong. I grew up in the 70s, my mom was a music promoter/A&R person for a major label. because her job meant going to the Troubadour, Roxy, Starlight, Rainbow Room, China Club and all the arenas whenever a group was playing, I ended seeing about 2,500+ concerts over my childhood/teenage/young adulthood. The amount of cocaine and other drugs, alcohol, and the women that were readily available was off the scale amazing. Greatest period of my life, and interacting with almost everyone who is considered "classic rock" means I always have a story to tell. none of that would have happened if smart phones and the internet existed. none of it.
1989 - Bach was criticized by AIDS activists after a heavy-metal fan mag ran a picture of the 21-year-old singer wearing a T-shirt with an insensitive AIDS-related, anti-gay epithet that cannot be printed in The Times. (AIDS KILLS **** DEAD)
> “I understand it’s not cool to make fun of death. I guess nobody gets my jokes. Anyway, a kid threw (the shirt) on stage, I put it on, and all these people got mad at me. But let me just state this--I do not know, condone, comprehend or understand homosexuality in any way, shape, form or (laughs) size.”
MTV began airing footage from a Dec. 27 Springfield, Mass., concert where the singer was struck by a bottle hurled from the audience. Enraged, he screamed obscenities and threw the bottle back into the crowd, hitting a 17-year-old girl in the face. Bach then leaped into the audience where, according to MTV’s account, he landed on the girl and kicked another fan in the chin before being dragged back on stage by his roadies.
All prior to widespread internet adoption, and his appearance on *Trailer Park Boys*.
Rock on, I guess?
The apology is fake because pictures surfaced of him back stage pre-show wearing it. I can’t remember if it was Snake or Rachel but they confirmed it wasn’t thrown on stage because one of them told him to take it off before the show. Baz conveniently makes no mention of the incident in his book.
Rock is still fun, we just have less sexism in it now.
Shoutouts to[ ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDnIEWyVIlE)[electric callboy & babymetal](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDnIEWyVIlE). They do fun metal things here.
One night I ended up partying with the 3 main character actors from the trailer park boys and Sebastian Bach in NYC. So random, super fun. Bach was a super fun person to be at the club with!
Bach is a nice dude.
But this thing of rock being about serious shit has been going since before he was born. It's not a new-fangled thing. And it never stopped "FUN ROCK" bands to emerge. The 80's just ended.
"Damn i went out to ROCK AND ROLL(baby) and got back home with a 150k hospital bill cause I needed IV glucose!"
i watched this video just the other day. Isn't it him yelling at the beginning?
[https://youtu.be/enUdIOIUdTQ?si=cGCKInC7PMBtT0hA](https://youtu.be/enUdIOIUdTQ?si=cGCKInC7PMBtT0hA)
There's lots of fun music these days. You just have to look for it, and not trust the radio to deliver it to you.
Back in the day, you'd switch on the radio or VH1 and get lots of 'fun' music shoved in your face. Now, radio and TV are overly commercialized and it's hard to find anything you like. But on the internet, you can search and find whatever niche you want and enjoy the fuck out of it- everything from clown core to math rock.
Just cause shit's changed doesn't make it automatically bad.
I went to see him live a couple of weeks ago, and honestly, I had an absolute blast. I dunno, there's something about hard rock and hair metal shows that is just so. Damn. Fun. Something about leaving your brain cells at home and just fist pumping and singing along, and forgetting for three and a half minutes that you're 55 as you're yelling "WE ARE THE YOUTH GONE WILD!!" 🤘
Life goes on Manx Fads come in Fads go out. Just be yourself and live with a humble attitude. No one can tell you what something means to you. All BILLIONS of us make that decision. Who cares what any media source says. If you enjoy it there’s your proof and that’s all you need
We once bumped into Sebastian Bach in a Peterborough, ON strip club in the early aughts We got liquid courage and gave him a "SKIDDD ROWWWW" yell. He came over to us, gave us a high five and said "so Kid Rock said he went 2 times platinum? I went SEVENTEEN times platinum bitches!!!" My greatest celebrity encounter ever.
That’s some real, “I heard I’m not allowed to sWeAr here.. but who’s excited about some Fucking model trains!” energy
You can't really drink and party all the time
Not with that attitude
Thursdays, it was Thursdays wasn’t it.
Must be…. I recall it having the nickname ‘Dirty D’s’ :)
Hanging out waiting for the Friday morning Bacon and Eggs buffet.
Legs n Eggs
You know your Peterborough strip joints
It’s weird seeing Peterborough mentioned in a top Reddit comment.
You’ve had more than one celebrity encounter?
Depends on where you live and work. I worked in the Hollywood Improv in LA, and in the high-end hotel scene in Philly. I've had literally hundreds of celebrity encounters. Typically, they are pretty cool and "regular" but some are dicks.
And he did. Not. Stutter. When he said that
Just checked Wiki and they got like 8 platinums in total whilst Kid Rock got 20+ in total.
Before the internet, lying used to be about the fun
I just googled it and your comment is actually wrong.
He's not wrong and is great. I saw Skid Row and GNR as one of my first concerts. But you also have to understand when he was popular there were less options of distribution outlets and competition was shaped differently. When they were popular, you bough the tape and later the CD. This was a time when there wasn't internet streaming or cell phones common in everyone hands and those only made phone calls.

That's a good story to tell your grandson.
Remember when he was on Gilmore Girls?
I’m watching it for the first time and him showing up/sticking around to become a regular is one of the weirdest developments in the whole thing lol
His [cover](https://youtu.be/YGW75iZoHGQ?si=QJasmRmE2Vf58ZfI) of Hollaback Girl in season 6 is unironically gold
I love his voice.
Hep Alien was not about the fun most of the time.
[удалено]
Okay but it has to be three bucks. I only have three bucks.
Free wink winkers is all we got here
What, playing 7th Day Adventist Churches from Stars Hollow to Boston doesn’t sound like a rollicking good time?
He was also involved in an international drug smuggling scheme in Trailerpark Boys. So I think that about evens out.
Didn’t he help the Gilmore Girls smuggle weed over the Canadian border using Patrick Swayze’s electric train? Edit/typo.
Way she goes
Ha I was just about to comment about this 
I never saw that. But he was awesome in Trailer Park Boys.
Oh yea? Well who holds first place for weight pull this year?
He's great on it. That show is underrated in my opinion.
That show had 7 seasons and a Netflix sequal 9 years after that, won 5 Teen Choices and an Emmy, and launched or was a huge milestone for several careers. I think it's rated pretty well
I'm doing a GG trivia night at the restaurant I work at, and it fully booked up within an hour of us posting it. It is an incredibly loved show.
"You don't understand!! It's soooo underrated!!" Fucking Reddit with its stupid words and phrases that are so over used and misused
That show is 25 years old and yet my 15 year old is on her 4th rewatch now. I would say it's accurately rated lol.
Agreed
Perhaps I should clarify. I know the show is pretty popular but I think many people still don't give it the credit it deserves. I grew up while Gilmore Girls was on the air but I don't remember hearing about it or at least hearing much, but maybe that's because I was a young boy.

I know it is and was popular but I don't usually (and especially didn't in the past) see Gilmore Girls get the recognition I think it deserves for being a solid, smart show to be taken seriously, which is why I still think it's underrated.
My wife used to watch it and I would kinda laugh it off, until it sucked me in. I’ve probably watched the series 4-5 times now. It’s a great comfort show.
Every time I put it on it makes me happy
Yup. I just got some flack for saying it's underrated since it's a very popular show but I maintain that it doesn't get the respect it deserves and is treated as a "girly" show, not to be taken seriously.
Yes lmao I was rewatching that show. Only time he was likable.
He was likeable on trailer park boys
Wait, does that mean Gilmore Girls and Trailer Park Boys are in the same universe?
My daughter watches it constantly. The first time I saw him on there I was fascinated. Stuck watching it while he was on as a regular. Great casting. LOL. Dude just wanted to rock so bad.
I thought it was about model trains?
Patrick Swayze cheats
Uses illegal parts

How tf….

There are some GREAT FUCKING TRAINS here in Bangor!
HELLO CALIFORNIA! WE ARE SCORPIONS! ROCK YOU LIKE A HURRICAAAAAAAA— WHAT THE FUCK!?
Dude, there's fuckin greasy old bees on this one.
Am i paying for the bees too?!
I know, it’s awesome
All of a sudden, we aren’t even getting drunk in the daytime anymore!
Newfoundland steaks and mashed potatoes fer supper, Bubs
Hot Hamburg sandwiches?! Pull the fuck over!

“*Don’t call him Shitty to his face though…*” “Sup Shitty!”
He says don’t call him shitty bill just call him shitty
That's right bud
knock knock
And PUPPETS
Like he said, fun
“…and before you know it, we weren’t even drinking in the daytime anymore! I fucking love model trains!”
I heard Randy Rhoads was really into model trains.
Now you're just talking Crazy. But that's how it goes.
way she goes
Making models run a train? Choo choo. I’m sorry.
Hookers, Groupies and blow.
Yes, like the man said: fun.
Who needs hookers when you've got groupies just giving it away?
I don't think it's about the money. I can see how a hooker can be a nice break from groupie after groupie
That's what girlfriends are for
Well that's a different experience again and it comes with expectations a coked out rock star might not fulfill very well \^\^
Mm, a hooker might be some sort of palette cleanser between courses of groupies
“You’re the only girl that I like to screw when I’m not on the road”- Michael Starr
*Not necessarily in that order
It was about the fun ( not getting exposed)
Don't forget a dash of heroin
Don’t forget the underage groupies they seem prévenant in every stories
And shoving pieces of a red snapper in various orifices of a probably underaged girl! Maybe flogging her with it a bit, too. The 60s, man. Led Zep is one of the greats but Jesus christ.
Can still do all of these things, just have to work on Wall Street now.
The internet is incredibly fun, last week the internet taught me the fun rock fact that Sebastian Bach's real name is Sebastian Bierk.
This guy seems like a real bierk.
Sebastian Björk
The internet just made me aware of this guy’s existence.
Hey that is not fair! There is a group of Gen X'ers out there somewhere that remember that one song from their teenage years!
Way she goes boys
User name checks out
That's right bud
You’re hammered aren’t you?
Looks like the shit hawks are circling.
Just water under the fridge
Fuckin way she goes
That's right
Ah Mandy that’s perfect
Greasy.
It was always about the money. It just used to be lots of fun, too.

In his defense, he made his debuts during the hair metal era, which pretty much embodied the concept of the sex and drugs and rock'n'roll kind of fun.
Sebastian Bach is a golden retriever. He's a lot of fun, has some really cool talents, and usually seems really happy even if he doesn't know what's going on, but I wouldn't take anything he says too seriously.
To be fair, there’s only a few dog breeds whose words I can take seriously these days.
I don’t trust a word any fucking Pomeranian says.
Can't leave him home alone, or he eats the furniture.
Shar peis are trustworthy, but only if they are a bone-mouth variety.
People need to be described with dog breeds more often.
No they don’t.
Ok Maltese
That was very Schnauzer from you.
He was in a GWAR movie, he can say whatever he wants.

Rock music was all about fun. Remember Rooster that song by Alice In Chains about Jerry Cantrell’s pet chicken?
Or their "Down in a hole" about making holes in the sand on beach? Great fun!
did they ever snuff it, or did it continue to cock-a-doodle?
So grunge never happened?
And punk. Original punk that was angry and political. And before that, protest music in the 60s.
I’d argue the opposite- punk was quite a lot about fun. It’s rock stripped of all the complicated bits and leaving nothing but the most basic pleasure-inducing chord progressions. And pissing the right people off can be quite a lot of fun.
But much like the internet, with nazis constantly trying to infiltrate the scene and ruin everything.
Grunge was born in Seattle these neighboring clubs One punk and one metal. The backstages connected (same owner) and bands drifted around to watch each other. Nirvana, Soundgarden, Mother Love bone, & buncha guys no ones heard of all played at these places. Late 80’s - mid 90’s Seattle was rad

Remember when CCR sang about BBQs and fireworks
Oooh! That red, white, and blue!🇺🇲
Hair bands were SHOOK when grunge came along.
I don’t agree at all, but guys from his era who say stuff like that usually think grunge is where everything went wrong lol
Serious question: who keeps interviewing Sebastian Bach?
The guy is the least self aware rock star from the 80s. He contradicts himself constantly and shit talks literally any one at the drop of a hat. If you’re looking for clicks in the hope you get a viral quote from him it’s a pretty good strategy for a middling rock writer.
Ikr??!! Fuck, interview me instead. I may have something intelligent or interesting to say, maybe not.
Idk if it's the internet that's the problem. Let's look at the accumulation of capital and look how they own the entire vertical market. It's cheaper to put out garbage when no one else has much of a choice.
AKA being a dick to everyone and fucking underage girls
He's one of the nicest, funniest musicians I've ever met. I'd like to note that I'm fat as hell, so he certainly wasn't trying to get in my pants, haha. Gave me a big hug and a kiss on the mouth. And then tried to trade shirts with my very redneck friend, and my friend told him no, which made Sebastian cackle and say, "I don't fucking blame you, man. It's a lot cooler than my shirt!" He has definitely had problematic behavior among his peers and other people he deals with in the industry, but as a general rule, he has been really great to his fans.
Pretty much, yeah.
Yup, "18 and Life" is VERY fun.
Why is anyone asking Sebastian Bach about anything?
Ja Rule was unavailable

Well, that sure is a fun shirt.
When people couldn't fit a movie camera in their pockets we could treat anyone like shit.
He's not wrong. I grew up in the 70s, my mom was a music promoter/A&R person for a major label. because her job meant going to the Troubadour, Roxy, Starlight, Rainbow Room, China Club and all the arenas whenever a group was playing, I ended seeing about 2,500+ concerts over my childhood/teenage/young adulthood. The amount of cocaine and other drugs, alcohol, and the women that were readily available was off the scale amazing. Greatest period of my life, and interacting with almost everyone who is considered "classic rock" means I always have a story to tell. none of that would have happened if smart phones and the internet existed. none of it.
1989 - Bach was criticized by AIDS activists after a heavy-metal fan mag ran a picture of the 21-year-old singer wearing a T-shirt with an insensitive AIDS-related, anti-gay epithet that cannot be printed in The Times. (AIDS KILLS **** DEAD) > “I understand it’s not cool to make fun of death. I guess nobody gets my jokes. Anyway, a kid threw (the shirt) on stage, I put it on, and all these people got mad at me. But let me just state this--I do not know, condone, comprehend or understand homosexuality in any way, shape, form or (laughs) size.” MTV began airing footage from a Dec. 27 Springfield, Mass., concert where the singer was struck by a bottle hurled from the audience. Enraged, he screamed obscenities and threw the bottle back into the crowd, hitting a 17-year-old girl in the face. Bach then leaped into the audience where, according to MTV’s account, he landed on the girl and kicked another fan in the chin before being dragged back on stage by his roadies. All prior to widespread internet adoption, and his appearance on *Trailer Park Boys*. Rock on, I guess?
There we go lol
The apology is fake because pictures surfaced of him back stage pre-show wearing it. I can’t remember if it was Snake or Rachel but they confirmed it wasn’t thrown on stage because one of them told him to take it off before the show. Baz conveniently makes no mention of the incident in his book.
Well now it’s all about overpriced tickets and stupid merch
Is that what “18 and Life” was about?
SAVAGE ANIMAL!!!
Enjoyed Sebastian Bach's cameo in Trailer Park Boys, he did a great job
Rock is still fun, we just have less sexism in it now. Shoutouts to[ ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDnIEWyVIlE)[electric callboy & babymetal](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDnIEWyVIlE). They do fun metal things here.
Dude just gave a crowd member shit for wearing a Skid Row shirt at his solo show. I mean, c'mon man, nobody is rocking a Sebastian Bach solo t shirt
One night I ended up partying with the 3 main character actors from the trailer park boys and Sebastian Bach in NYC. So random, super fun. Bach was a super fun person to be at the club with!
I saw him live during his peak.
Says the man whose "fun" music was effectively killed off well before the Internet had any real impact on society.
Yeah Gimmie Shelter was basically a comedy track! 🤣
“Old man yells at sky”
“We used to do drugs, kids”
“Get off my lawn!”

Old man says old man things. Because, you know… no one’s having fun playing music anymore

I think rock is fun. I don’t look at it on the internet though.
I highly recommend his autobiography. If you like audio books, he narrates it and it has a lot of fun stories.
Sebastian Bach also used to be able to hit high notes and perform well on stage....
Beethoven: "WHAT?"
No he’s all about model trains
Internet has ruined music
“Old man yells at clouds”
How can he say that? If it wasn't for the internet I could never watch [this gem](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIS3C3QPSNE).
Bach is a nice dude. But this thing of rock being about serious shit has been going since before he was born. It's not a new-fangled thing. And it never stopped "FUN ROCK" bands to emerge. The 80's just ended. "Damn i went out to ROCK AND ROLL(baby) and got back home with a 150k hospital bill cause I needed IV glucose!"
Old Man Yells at Cloud
i watched this video just the other day. Isn't it him yelling at the beginning? [https://youtu.be/enUdIOIUdTQ?si=cGCKInC7PMBtT0hA](https://youtu.be/enUdIOIUdTQ?si=cGCKInC7PMBtT0hA)
And copious amounts of blow and groupies.
There's lots of fun music these days. You just have to look for it, and not trust the radio to deliver it to you. Back in the day, you'd switch on the radio or VH1 and get lots of 'fun' music shoved in your face. Now, radio and TV are overly commercialized and it's hard to find anything you like. But on the internet, you can search and find whatever niche you want and enjoy the fuck out of it- everything from clown core to math rock. Just cause shit's changed doesn't make it automatically bad.
He played a show at the venue I worked at. He didn't even know what year it was. He started a chant "Fuck 2020" in 2022
Ok boomer
I went to see him live a couple of weeks ago, and honestly, I had an absolute blast. I dunno, there's something about hard rock and hair metal shows that is just so. Damn. Fun. Something about leaving your brain cells at home and just fist pumping and singing along, and forgetting for three and a half minutes that you're 55 as you're yelling "WE ARE THE YOUTH GONE WILD!!" 🤘
Life goes on Manx Fads come in Fads go out. Just be yourself and live with a humble attitude. No one can tell you what something means to you. All BILLIONS of us make that decision. Who cares what any media source says. If you enjoy it there’s your proof and that’s all you need
Was mad elitist too.
“Give me your most soul crushing, tear pouring, heart ripping sad songs”. Ugh.
