7.24.03
Thank you so much to all the musicians out there for sending me your
demo packages ! I have been extremely fortunate to have received literally
hundreds of demo kits from all sorts of talented musicians from across
the USA & beyond, & it really is a pleasure to go through all the
music/ videos etc. , it's like shopping for METAL & it's alot of fun
! but I have such a backlog of unopened packages that I have to say please
do
not send any more , I have right now almost 1000 that I still have
not even had time to open . This has been a great experience & I thank
you all for your professionalism , unfortunately I can only choose one
player for each position in the band , but I will keep all the demo kits
for the future in case I am looking for players again sometime down the
line .
7.18.03
I am currently hard at work on my first DVD "FOREVER WILD" which will
be in stores soon ! along with that I have started recording some demos
for my second solo CD .
7.9.03
Had
an absolute BLAST Saturday night @ Great Adventure in New Jersey jamming
with one of my all-time favorite bands TWISTED FUCKING SISTER !! They kicked
it in FULL "Under The Blade "era makeup & costumes & played INCREDIBLE
! The energy, performance, songs & of course LEGENDARY raps by Dee
& JJ were totally killer . The crowd was insane as I walked into the
venue , they went absolutely apeshit & I got to bring the band on stage
with my good buddy Eddie Trunk . It was great to see you all at the show
& thanks to TWISTED SISTER for getting me on all the rides for free
with no lineup ! What a great day !
Progress on the FOREVER WILD DVD is coming along FAST !
It will be released by Eagle Vision & it looks like it will be in stores
worldwide by the fall ! We just got clearance from my good buds @ VH1 to
go through the FOREVER WILD TV show footage & there will be a bunch
of unreleased interviews / bloopers etc. from the TV show on the FOREVER
WILD DVD ! Plus there will be solo tour live stuff, Jekyll & Hyde stuff,
& alot more that I will give you the details on as soon as the release
date draws near !
Writing / recording for the new CD is coming along great . Me
& Paul Crook got another song down on tape & I think it contains
some of the fiercest , highest , most balls-out screaming I have ever ripped
out of my throat . By the time I am done choosing members for the live
band I will be ready to head straight into the studio to record the CD
but there is the possibility I could head out on the road for a short
run to road -test the new material . I am writing with Desmond Child, Wolf
Hoffmann, Larry, & Paul Crook at the moment & the music is sounding
great . Can't wait for you to hear it !!!!! (thanks to
Mike Jones for the pic)

email from Jennifer :
Sebastian,
On my way to work yesterday morning, I noticed your name
prominently displayed on the marquee of the Wilshire Theatre in Beverly
Hills..........
It said: "Jesus Christ Superstar", "Sebastian Bach",
another actor's name, and the dates of the show (sometime in July).
I did a double-take, because I knew you were no longer
involved in this project. You've got to get your attorneys involved...the
promoters are using your good name to sell
tickets and they're duping your fans!!
Good luck and best wishes,
Jennifer Breckel
thanks for the info Jennifer ! of course this is NOT
TRUE ! although if i got a call asking me to come do it , i probably would
! but i am certainly not expecting that call , & if i was playing the
Wilshire Theatre you would definately read it HERE first .
6.21.03
hi all ! just wanted to say THANK YOU to each & every one of you
who have sent me a package in the mail regarding the band auditions ! i
have a veritable MOUNTAIN of cd's / tapes/ etc. so it is taking me a while
to check them all out . but there are definately some ass- kicking musicians
out there that i was previously unaware of , so this has been an eye &
ear - opening experience & a pleasant surprise ! i am trying to email
everyone who sent me a package so please include your email address when
you send me a package .

email from April in Charlotte NC :
Sebastian,
I heard a commercial on the radio this morning for JCS
here in Charlotte
this week. It said "starring Sebastian Bach as
Jesus". I don't think this
is true, but I wanted to ask you to be certain
and verify that nothing has
changed. I've already gotten my refunds.
Thanks a lot,
April (April Showers) Charlotte, NC
P.S. I cannot wait for the new music & the DVD!!!!
:)
Sorry April but this is not true . I am no longer
in JCS & if I was back in the show you would read it here first .
Thanks April !
Sebastian
The following is an email from my buddy Josh in Cincinnati
:
They were giving away tickets on the radio ( in Cincinnati)
to the concert here at Riverbend featuring Poisen, Vince Neil, and Skid
Row. The host of the show, said, and I quote. " and we understand
that Sebastian Bach will be back with Skid Row when they come to Riverbend"
end quote. This is news to me. If this is true, let me know and I
will buy our tickets tomorrow. If it isn't true, then you may want to nip
it in the bud. It may be that they are wanting to use yor name to sell
tickets. Just thought I'd let you know.
Your friend and #1 fan in Cincy,
josh
Of course this is NOT TRUE . This is absolutely
untrue & I will not be appearing with "Skid Row" at ANY shows on this
tour .
Thanks Josh
Sebastian

this interview
with Charlotte Theatre Magazine was done on March 13 2003 . I find some
of what was said pretty ironic considering how things turned out (!) :
Charlotte Theatre Magazine: Do you find it a bit ironic that as
the lead singer for Skid Row you enjoyed a well-known period of youth-gone-wild
indiscretions and now you’re playing ... Jesus?
Sebastian Bach: He was a man. All men have
imperfections. I’m not a theology major and I can’t get into a huge debate
or anything, but the thing
is Jesus was a man. The plot of the play — without me thinking about it
too much, because I’d psyche myself out — is about a
man who lives outside of town in the rural area and he’s teaching, and
his apostles look up to him and really like him and love
him alot. And then they come into Jerusalem like halfway through Act I,
and Simon really loves Jesus and he wants to take up
arms in Jesus’ name, and that’s the first time Jesus says never take up
violence in my name — that’s not what this is about.
Simon was trying to do the right thing, but Jesus had to explain to him
and all the apostles that that’s not what Jesus’ message
was about — it was of nonviolence. So the government gets jealous of how
much the apostles love Jesus and they want to
squash his popularity because he’s a threat to the government. So starting
at the beginning of Act II, Judas is the one who turns
on Jesus and Peter three times denies him, but basically Jesus didn’t do
anything, but the people turn on him and at the end of
Act II, they kill him, and, you know, it’s really not nice. Then, at the
end, when he’s dead, they all realize that his message was
of love and nonviolence and everybody understands the message. And it’s
such a sad thing at the end when Jesus is dead on
the cross, but Carl Anderson, who plays Judas, gave me a tip: He said,
“Sebastian, when Jesus’ body dies, that’s when his
spirit is born.” So, basically Jesus’ spirit and his message is given birth
when his body fails him. That’s so meaningful, and
that’s another thing that I think about when I’m portraying it, because
it’s so sad. Sometimes I’ll cry playing the role, and I’m not
such an actor that I can just cry when I feel like it. I’m not quite that
talented. But I do cry and it comes over me without me saying,
okay, now I’m going to cry. It just happens, and yesterday it happened.

I am very sorry to report that we have lost one of our rock &
roll brothers. Rob Affuso , drummer for the original Skid Row, has lost
his beloved father Bob Affuso who unfortunately passed away last week .
Bob was a really cool guy who was always in a great mood & I will always
remember his radiant smile & infectious laughter backstage or in the
bus while we were on tour in Skid Row . He was so proud of Rob & all
of us as he watched our dreams come true from the side of the stage &
my heartfelt condolences go out to Rob , his brother & former Skid
Row tech Al Affuso, & their families in this difficult time .
Bob Affuso, I Remember You .......you will be missed.
here is a note from Rob Affuso :
PLEASE!!! In lieu of flowers…………….Many of you knew my dad as an extremely
loving and caring person. He had a great affinity for
animals and always wanted to care for them. With this in
mind, we have chosen The “JAKE” Fund to honor him and his love for animals
AND for his loving companion Tyler who will be laid to
rest with him. The “JAKE” fund helps any animal in need of assistance (wild
or pet) in the Newburgh and surrounding area. This fund
is carried on by the Newburgh Veterinary Hospital. Please send
contributions “IN MEMORY OF BOB & TYLER” to:

of the weeks when I was in the show ! You guys are awesome & I will
see you Bach on Tour as soon as I finish a new CD ! Thanks for a great

this
is surprisingly (& refreshingly) accurate : E! Online News
4.5.03
after 8 shows a week for 6 months, around 160 shows total, I
am no longer in Jesus Christ Superstar due to personal & creative differences
. My best wishes to the crew & cast, most of whom I shall miss dearly.
I would love to come back to the play & honour the commitment
made with the producers to tour until august but at the moment it
does not look like this will happen . Ticket refunds are handled on an
individual basis & you are entitled to ask for your money back although
the producers have informed me that they will make the final decision on
ticket refunds. If I am asked to resume the tour & there is a
change in the situation I will post all the details right here .
it was nice but , now it's gone .........
4.3.03
happy birthday to me ! thanks for all your birthday emails i really
