Music Sebastian Bach "Forever Wild" On First Live DVD

Posted by inanglia on (2380 views)

The long awaited first ever Sebastian Bach DVD 'Forever Wild' is exceeding my wildest expectations in every way! Wait till you freaks get your hands on this, it rips! It consists of a killer live concert recorded at the Whiskey A-Go-Go in Hollywood, California & includes the requisite extras as well. There is song commentary explaining never-before-heard details behind the songs '18 & Life', 'I Remember You', 'Youth Gone Wild' & more, the 'Sleep' video, & 'This is The Moment' (from Jekyll & Hyde: The Musical) LIVE from the Spring 2002 tour!

Also included on 'Forever Wild', available in the US & Canada June 15 2004 and in Europe June 21, is never ­ before ­ seen footage from my TV show 'Forever Wild'! My good buds at VH1/MTV/Viacom have granted us clearance to include aired & previously unaired footage from the TV show 'Forever Wild' on the DVD 'Forever Wild'! We have assembled as much footage as possible into the DVD & the end result is something which I am extremely proud of & cannot wait for you all to see!

The concert from the Whiskey has been remixed & sounds totally heavy! The Forever Wild TV footage is hilarious & excellent quality, there is both footage from the TV show itself as well as Unreleased behind -the -scenes bloopers / screw-ups etc. that had us all in the control booth laughing our collective asses off while we were watching it. If that ain't enough, the DVD booklet folds out into a double-sided live-in-concert poster! Who loves ya!!

As part of the full, interactive Bach Discography, we have included Unreleased album cover artwork ideas in the 'Subhuman Race' section! These never before seen album cover ideas by my late father David Bierk are beautiful, & I am only too happy to share them with you, the discerning Skid Row fan.

The 'Forever Wild' DVD includes the brand new, never released song 'Always & Never The Same' recorded by Sebastian Bach & The Bach Tight 5! Yes, it took some convincing, but I finally realized that putting the demo version of the song on the DVD is an incredible idea, & I'll tell you why : It sounds great! This is just the BT5 getting together in the basement laying down a demo, but with the advent of digital technology, I must admit it sounds pretty darn ass-kicking, producer or no producer! 'Always & Never The Same' is just a demo but we put it on the DVD to give you a taste of what is to come on the new CD, which we are working on right now!

Sebastian Bach has now surpassed the moniker of rock-n-roll front-man to bona fide multi-media star. Bach led the hugely popular rock band Skid Row to multi-platinum status with sales of over 22 million records. Their debut album, Skid Row, sold over 10 million records, with two singles, "18 and Life" and "I Remember You" reaching the Billboard Top Five. Skid Row's follow-up album, Slave to the Grind, was the first hard rock album to debut at #1 on the Billboard Album Chart. The band received the American Music Award for Most Popular Hard Rock Band of the year in 1990, with Bach gracing the cover of Rolling Stone the following year.

In 1996, after leaving Skid Row, Bach formed The Last Hard Men with The Breeders' Kelley Deal, The Frogs' Jimmy Flemion, and former Smashing Pumpkins drummer Jimmy Chamberlin to cover the Alice Cooper classic, "School's Out" for the soundtrack of the smash hit film, Scream. The Last Hard Men also released a CD in November of 2001 on Spitfire Records.

As a solo artist, Bach has a deal with Eagle Rock Entertainment and has been extensively touring with his band, Sebastian Bach & Friends, recently playing over 200 gigs around the globe, including Japan, Korea, and Canada, as well as arenas and clubs around the United States. His first solo album, Bring 'em Bach Alive!, which he co-produced with renowned producer Michael Wagener, was released in November 2000.

Having acted in many movies including starring as "The Reaper" in the VH1 movie, Don't Fear the Reaper which was part of the VH1 series "Strange Frequency," Bach made his Broadway debut in late 2000 starring in the hit musical Jekyll & Hyde. His four month extended run was honored by Broadway.com with the "Favorite Male Replacement" Year 2000 Audience Award.

Subsequent to his role in Jekyll & Hyde, Sebastian released the benefit song for NYPD/FDNY "The Dreams in You" and later performed a benefit concert for the September 11 Fund.

In 2001 Sebastian went on to play 'Riff Raff' in the highly acclaimed Rocky Horror Show on Broadway. The New York Post raved that Bach was a "show-stopper" and this was further reaffirmed when the attendance figures for the show's final two week run exceeded those of The Producers and newcomer, Mamma Mia.

Sebastian later lent his distinctive voice to narrate The Learning Channel's popular series "The New Side Show" and in 2002 starred in his own popular VH1 hit series "Forever Wild,' taking a long-HARD look at metal in Bach's all too familiar no-holds-barred personality.

At the end of '02, Sebastian adorned the lead role in the famed Jesus Christ Superstar. The show toured nationally into 2003 and Bach continued to astound audiences with both his comfort and command of the curtained stage. Jesus Christ Superstar was the #1 Broadway tour during Bach's 6 month tenure as the lead, according to Variety.

Sebastian Bach continues his work with VH1 on the new show 'I Married Sebastian Bach,' a one hour special based on Bach and his wife/manager Maria and, as Sebastian puts it, "All the inherent mayhem & hijinx that occur in our rock'n'roll world" as they prepare to go on tour.

It has been almost four years since Sebastian Bach's last solo work, and after just wrapping up shooting on his fourth episode of the 'Gilmore Girls' for the WB, Sebastian is ready to deliver Forever Wild and get back on the road in July.
