SEBASTIAN BACH Guitarist Nick Sterling – “There’s A New Energy To Sebastian As Far As Him Being Fired Up About Playing Music, About Writing New Stuff”

Vocalist SEBASTAIN BACH’s 21-year-old guitarist Nick Sterling is featured in a new interview with Geeks Of Doom. An excerpt is available below:

Q: Were you a fan of Sebastian before he got in touch with you?

Nick Sterling: “Yeah I was a fan of his…the first two SKID ROW records are great. They’re standards for that style and that energy and sure, I grew up listening to them. I grew up listening to a lot of different stuff but, yeah, I was a fan at the time when he called me.”

Q: When I heard (new album) Kicking and Screaming it seemed to me like the dynamic between you and Sebastian was almost like the OZZY OSBOURNE and RANDY RHOADS situation where the lead singer has this renewed fire in his belly with a new young guitarist. Did you feel that kind of connection at your first rehearsal?

Nick Sterling: “Well it’s a lot of pressure to compare something to that! I guess the spirit’s there, but I don’t really want to draw any direct comparisons to, say, me or Randy or Ozzy and Sebastian or anything like that. But that’s a pretty valid statement to say because there’s certainly a new energy to the band. There’s a new energy to Sebastian personally as far as him being fired up about playing music, about writing new stuff, about releasing the new record. I can’t say that that’s all to do because of me joining or anything like that but, you know, it’s been a very productive very positive portion of both of our lives as far as what’s going on with our music we’re working on. You know, those sorts of comparisons freak me out a little bit but I could agree that maybe it’s the same, sort of; it’s more of an energy and a renewed passion for what’s going on in the music rather than an actual improvement on the music or anything like that.”
