Sebastian Bach is a true
ROCK STAR, one of the few that are left - and judging by
the crazed reaction of the packed crowd at The Webster Theatre
in Hartford, they all agree with me.
Baz set the tone for the night early on when
like a Bat out of hell he frenzied to the stage (head banging,
microphone swirling) and delivered a killer rendition of
"Slave to the Grind." The audience went nuts and the madness
did not stop until the last note of "Youth Gone Wild" was
played.
On this evening Sebastian delivered an awesome
set that included songs from all aspects of his career,
Skid Row, solo & Broadway, a killer metallized version of
Jekill & Hyde's "Confrontation" being a definite highlight.
The crowd sang along to everything, even the Rocky Horror
Picture Show's "Time Warp."
Sebastian looked great, and he sounded even
better - his voice is still one of the best in the genre.
His band, which included ex-Megadeth guitarist Al Pitrelli
and former Anthrax shredder Paul Crook, was in top form.
Pitrelli is always impressive and Crook is arguably the
most underrated musician on Earth. The man can do it all
- he's a top-notch shredder, a great songwriter, plus he
can sing. I, for one, look forward to Paul Crook's future
projects.
 The
Set List:
Slave To The Grind
Here I Am
Rock 'N Roll
Piece Of Me
18 & Life
The Threat
Livin' On a Chain Gang

I think one of the audience members I talked
to said it best, so I'll leave you with this statement:
"What a killer night! This is one of
those nights that you wish would never end."
Sebastian is working on a brand new
studio CD, as well as his first DVD - tentatively titled
BACH IN YER FACE.
