 Good morning, good afternoon and good night everyone....

     Summary of the Sebastian Bach show in Curitiba on 04/27/24.. The show was held at the Torkn roll bar in Curitiba-Paraná-Brazil.

     This show marked the 35-year career of the musician who was once part of the great 80s Hard Rock band Skid Row.

    Let's summarize his career a little here..

     Bach was invited to join Skid Row in 1986 when guitarist Dave Sabo heard him singing at music producer Mark Weiss's wedding. Sabo sent him a videotape of the band playing, and Bach soon joined the band. After enjoying great commercial success as the lead singer of Skid Row, Bach was fired in 1996 because of his attitude and strong temper that always served as criticism for the media.

     He created Sebastian Bach and Friends (Sebastian Bach and Friends, in English) after leaving Skid Row (a band that received a new vocalist, Johnny Solinger, and a new drummer, Phil Varone). Later, Bach also appeared in Broadway productions such as The Rocky Horror Show and Jekyll and Hyde.

     In 1990, Bach performed with Guns N' Roses and Metallica on the same stage at a party sponsored by RIP Magazine; he used an improvised name for his band, The Gak.

     In October 2002, he was invited to perform on an American tour with the Jesus Christ Superstar production where he took on the role of Jesus. The performances were highly successful until April 2003, when Bach was fired for exhibiting star-studded behavior.

     He has a supporting role on the Warner Bros. television show Gilmore Girls as Gil, the guitarist in Lane Kim's band.

     Bach was widely criticized for giving a performance in 1989 wearing a T-shirt with the slogan "Aids, kills fags dead" written on it, an unfortunate parody of an insecticide commercial slogan that read "Raid, kills bugs dead" ("Raid, kill insects"). Since that date, Bach has continually apologized and repeated the expression "...that was really rotten, really stupid...". In an interview with Metal Hammer magazine, the singer was finally able to explain how that happened: "I don't usually go into depth about this, but I've seen so much misinformation on the subject that I'm going to explain myself. I didn't wear a fucking anti-gay t-shirt none at the MTV press conference. That's not true. I wore that shirt once in my life, in Irvine Meadows, California, after the band PANTERA opened for us, I was totally sweaty, so I said. : "Give me a fucking t-shirt to wear." Gerri Miller from Metal Edge magazine was there and asked for a picture of us all, so I just grabbed this horrible shirt that some fan had thrown on stage and put it on. which is the worst t-shirt ever, but I wasn't doing any kind of campaign."


     Currently Bach is on a solo career with his newest CD entitled "Angel Down" and despite being considered by critics the best work Bach did, it was not the best-selling in his career, Angel Down sold 100,000 copies, nothing compared to the more than 20 millions of copies that the other albums sold. Bach also features Axl Rose, lead singer of Guns N' Roses, on 3 tracks on his new album, with the two singing together a cover of Aerosmith's "Back in the Saddle" and two other songs titled "Stuck Inside" and " Love is a Bitchslap."

     With the departure of Scott Weiland from Velvet Revolver, Bach received a call from Slash to do some tests with the band, but Bach rejected the idea and said that he prefers to continue with his Angel Down tour but will work on another project with Slash.

     Sebastian Bach also helped Korn musicians create the music/soundtrack for the film Queen of the Damned, a song called Forsaken, which is sung by the lead singer of Disturbed, with the lyrics being his own.

     Nowadays Sebatian has an impeccable solo career, always having a charisma and vocal power that leaves everyone's mouth open.

     Maybe some mistakes from the past made him mature a lot and over time become a better version of what he once was.

     In the 80s there were many bands with the same style and their demands and what I can say analyzing many artists from that time, many grew and became more than stars, perhaps an example of maturity.

     On Saturday's show he showed that age is just a number, if you closed your eyes you would see Sebatian from 35 years ago there on the stage.

     The band's instrumental then... Simply incredible and made the crowd who were a bit shy interact with them.

     Curitiba is the city of rock and metal and they showed that rock and metal are what make people smile.

     During the show Bach made jokes with the audience.. Including with the nickname Tião (Tião was the affectionate nickname that crazy fans...
