“In the hedonistic new memoir 18 and Life on Skid Row, Sebastian Bach is brutally frank in his description of life on the road and exploitsWritten in a funny, everyman style, 18 and Life finds Bach as one of rock’s most affable frontmen.” (Rolling Stone)“The soulfulness of Sebastian Bach’s new memoir caught me off-guard….The book’s personal stories are compelling…they’re what make 18 and Life on Skid Row a captivating read.” (LA Weekly)“a ribald and freewheeling memoir…often a delightfully trashy and salacious read. Rock it up!” (AV Club)“a wild ride of a memoir” (The Houston Press)“the rock book that’s going to be hard to beat” (Las Vegas Weekly)“give the gift of Baz
What A Life! Diane L315 I'm not sure how Sebastian Bach survived this life but one thing is for sure, he was meant to. Omg the stories he tells are nothing short of what you only hear Rock and Roll are. He has lived his life recklessly and yet on his terms he made it work out every time. I'm glad I read his book. I have seen him on TV at times and found he has a great sense of humor but with the life he had I think you would have to. I was glad to see he found a woman that grounded him in a way that he seems to have found some peace In that ADHD life of his. I think he does deserve it and hope he keeps landing on his feet.. LOVED this book!!! You will too! I was a huge Skid Row fan back in the day and loved Sebastian Bach. My sister and I saw Skid Row in early '92 and had third row center seats. It was the most awesome concert experience of my life!! The story about his first KISS concert reminded me of my first Skid Row concert. I couldn't wait to read this book! I read it over Christmas break and couldn't put it down! When I got towards the end, I had to slow down to make the book last longer. I thought the writing was great, as it was like Sebastian was just sitting there telling you stories. I was thoroughly entertained by all the crazy rock & roll party stories, and laughed out loud severa. Great Book! Love Bach! Great read about his life, growing up and the party rock and roll scene as expected. I preferred the end of the book and telling about his broadway experiences and his relationship with his father. The only thing lacking for me was the lack of talking about his ex-wife Maria. He brought her up on occasions but didn't give a ton of insight on their relationship, the good times between them, etc.
He is particularly known for the hit singles I Remember You, Youth Gone Wild, & 18 & Life, and the albums Skid Row and Slave To The Grind, which became the first ever hard rock album to debut at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 and landed him on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine. Bach then went on to become the first rock star to grace the Broadway stage, with starring roles in Jekyll & Hyde,Jesus Christ Superstar and The Rocky Horror Picture Show. It is the story of a man who achieved his wildest dreams, only to lose his family, and then his home. 18 And Life On Skid Row is not your ordinary rock memoir, because Sebas
