Following the post about Axl’s new album, I got my hands on Angel Down, Sebastian Bach’s new record.
I must tell you, I am impressed, if you want, at least because of the phenomenal voice of this guy. I have always loved Skid Row and Bach never lost one bit of his voice over the years, sounds like he is still 19-20 yo. Usually, after a certain age, singers cool down and take easier paths, see Bon Jovi, for example. Screaming is not in trends anymore, after all…
Says who!? Bach wasn’t told about it… Don’t ask him to be tender and smooth, cause his voice is not made for this. Instead, he will burn down the house with one single scream. This is what he does and man, he rules.
From my personal point of view, Sebastian Bach is like the perfect voice for metal, next to Eric Adams (Manowar), Michael Kiske (Helloween) and Dickinson (Maiden). And I will add here Mike Matijevic (Steelheart), I really consider him as one of the “might have been” leading rock voices around. He only missed the train, what a pity…(man, if you read this, you rule!)
Coming back to Bach (not THAT Bach, for one of my dear friends who looked at me a bit lost when I showed him a picture with Sebastian Bach in a rock magazine about 10 years ago), I am happy he made that record and I think the friendship of Axl Rose helped here because no matter what he said, he didn’t manage to make that record until this year. I can only imagine them speaking…come on,man, are you gonna put that record out or what? hm…I don’t know…only if you’ll do it too…aa…wtf, OK! Let’s do it!
I recommend you listen Falling into you, a lovely power ballad and Back in the saddle, to see how well his voice works with Axl’s voice…
Here’s another one, this is what I could find on YT
By the way, are the 80′s coming back?
