INTERVIEW: Sebastian Bach talks Australian Tour 2025, ‘Child Within the Man’ and collecting vinyl….

The Original Voice of SKID ROW Returns to Australia for a High-Octane Celebration of One of Rock’s Greatest Debuts! Rock legend Sebastian Bach, the unmistakable original voice of Skid Row, is set to reignite Australian stages in 2025. This time, he’s bringing a full-throttle performance of the album that launched a rock revolution – Skid Row’s self-titled debut, performed in its entirety for the first time on Australian soil.

This tour is a massive celebration of a record that changed the face of hard rock and heavy metal – delivered by the voice that made it unforgettable. Fans can expect an explosive set featuring hits like ‘Youth Gone Wild,’ ‘18 and Life’, ‘Big Guns’ and ‘I Remember You.’

 “Skid Row is a rock and roll classic, from start to end,” praised Sleaze Roxx, and now Aussie fans will get to experience it live, straight from the source.

Bach’s recent performances of the album have earned rave reviews across the globe. Cobras and Fire declared: “His voice sounds excellent and the show is an energy-filled 90 minutes of pure RNF’nR.” The Music echoed that sentiment: “Not missing a note or beat, with his distinct voice blasting through the PA and sounding as good as it did on the original recording… He proved why he is still one of the real monsters of rock and heavy metal today.”

With his signature raw energy and uncompromising authenticity, Bach’s live performances are a reaffirmation of his unmatched legacy. As Classic Rock Reviewed wrote: “This wasn’t someone who’d scrubbed his voice clean for mass appeal; this guy was from somewhere. And this was a guy who went for it, full tilt, with everything he sang.” There’s only one voice that defines Skid Row, Sebastian Bach!

In addition to the full-album performance, each night will feature an encore set of hits from Bach’s storied career, including fan favourite selections from Skid Row’s Slave To The Grind and Sebastian’s acclaimed solo records.

Of all the Hard Rock albums released in the 80’s Skid Row’s debut has always been one of my go to records. It’s a sure fire classic with not a bad track on there, one of a handful of records that you can play end to end and come out with a cheese-eating grin. So to hear that Sebastian is headed back Downunder to play that record in full, plus tracks from his latest and greatest ‘Child Within the Man’ things couldn’t be better.

We caught up with Sebastian to talk about the tour, the latest album and a shared passion for record collecting. With this years tour starting in Perth on 21st November we may even hit a few stores before the show…
