Jimmy Kay and Alan Dixon from The Metal Voice recently spoke to Sebastian Bach who will be embarking on US tour in 2026 starting February.
Bach was also asked about his thoughts on the Triumph Reunion tour he said, “I’m happy for Triumph. I think it’s incredible. I’ve always loved Triumph. I bought a ticket when I was like 10 years old to the Peterborough Memorial Center. I saw the poster of Triumph on the wall at A & A records and tapes in the Peterborough Square and it was the poster of Gil Moore on the drum kit with his hand up in the air and then there was Pyro going off and Rick Emmett was playing his double neck. I thought, I got to go to this show. I couldn’t believe it when Gil Moore came down off the drum throne and started talking to the crowd because I never saw a drummer do that. Moore said, “Hey, Peterborough, what’s going on?” and I was like, “Oh, he’s the drummer. Like, how’s that happening right now?” I thought Rick Emmett was going to be talking to the crowd. No, Gil’s in charge. So, I love the band. I’ve always loved a band. Well, I was happy to be part of the tribute album, Magic Power. I got to do 24 hours a day and then Rock and Roll Machine. And when I see Triumph get together (reunite), I’m like, “Hey, Snake and Rachel, what do you think of the Triumph tour? What do you think? What are your opinions on this? Well, if Triumph is going back on tour and Rush is going back on tour, what is our problem? Like what the heck’s wrong with us? Like it’s just silly. I mean, but I’m not waiting around either at the same time. I got my own band. I got my own albums and I play tons of shows. I’m extremely busy.”

About Sebastian Bach:
With an inimitable presence as loud as his instantly identifiable voice, SEBASTIAN BACH has left a San Andreas Fault-size imprint on music, theater, film, television, and culture. Moreover, his influence only continues to magnify. He has penned and voiced some of the most iconic anthems in rock history, crafting a catalog highlighted by generational hits such as “18 and Life,” “I Remember You,” “Youth Gone Wild,” “Slave To The Grind,” “Wasted Time,” and “Monkey Business,” to name a few. He has made history as “the first heavy metal singer on Broadway” with a now legendary turn in Jekyll & Hyde: The Musical in addition to leading roles in The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Jesus Christ Superstar. He has appeared in dozens of television series and films, ranging from “Trailer Park Boys” and “Robot Chicken” to “SpongeBob SquarePants,” “The Masked Singer,” and “Hell’s Kitchen.” Speaking to his versatility, he’s the rare force of nature who can duet with Axl Rose and reprise a seven-season recurring role on “Gilmore Girls.”
For Canada’s The Metal Voice former Anthrax Singer Neil Turbin spoke to Ex-Skid Row singer Sebastian Bach at the Rock for Ronnie 2025 concert on Sunday, May 18 at Autry Museum in Griffith Park for Ronnie James Dio Stand Up & Shout Cancer Fund. Bach was headlining the fundraiser benefit concert.
Bach talked about Ronnie James Dio, his current album and spoke briefly about Skid Rows other singers When asked who he thought was the best singer (other than himself) Skid Row had in their career he replied,” I would need to hear them sing and I have never listened to any of them ever. Why would I listen to that?
The Ronnie James Dio Stand Up and Shout Cancer Fund (www.diocancerfund.org) was founded in memory of the legendary singer, who lost his life to gastric cancer in 2010. A privately funded 501(c)(3) public charity, the Ronnie James Dio Stand Up and Shout Cancer Fund has already raised over $2 million since its inception. Monies raised have been committed to the cancer research work of the T. J. Martell Foundation for Cancer, AIDS and Leukemia Research, the gastric cancer research unit of the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, where Ronnie was treated for gastric cancer during the last six months of his life, and other cancer research projects. Since 2016, the Dio Cancer Fund has committed funds to support the research of Dr. David Wong and his team at the UCLA School of Dentistry in developing a simple, non-invasive saliva test for the early detection of cancer.
100% of the net proceeds from the ROCK FOR RONNIE will go to the Dio Cancer Fund, which is now in its 15th year of raising awareness and much-needed funding for cancer prevention, education and research for a cure. The organization also hosts the annual Bowl for Ronnie Celebrity Bowling Party in November.

SEBASTIAN BACH is releasing yet another video from his “Child Within The Man”album (Reigning Phoenix Music). The new video for ‘To Live Again’ marks the seventh from the album and is another collaboration between BACH and Jim Louvau and Tony Aguilera.
“‘To Live Again’ is the closest song to a ballad on the record. It was co-written with the super talented Myles Kennedy, who also co-wrote the song ‘What Do I Got to Lose?,’ the first single off this record,”SEBASTIAN says. “I could not be more proud of this song and this video. This song is the sound of my voice being pushed as far and as hard as it will go, in every way – power, range and emotion. If you have enjoyed the ballads that I have been releasing since the year 1989, I really do think you will enjoy this song and video.”
“We have been working on this video for months and months and it was finally completed in January 2025. Without a doubt, this is the most time, effort and pathos that I have ever put into creating a rock video. This video is like a fantasy dream that has been going through my head for the last year. The directors Jim Louvau and Tony Aguilera have made recurring dreams that I have had at night come to life in this beautifully shot video.”
This year will see SEBASTIAN expand his horizons with his first-ever art show. In collaboration with Wentworth Gallery, BACH will be making a special in-person appearance on the Monsters Of Rock Cruise (March 10-15) showcasing stunning works inspired by his late father, the renowned artist David Bierk. On the live front, look for a May headlining performance at M3 Rock Festival followed by a slot at Summerfest.
2024 was a remarkable year for the singer, songwriter, author, Broadway star, and actor. BACH’s “Child Within The Man” album – his first in more than 10 years – was well-received, with Associated Press saying “…it shows a fierce performer in prime fighting form…his vocals remain sharp and his songwriting talents as cunning as ever,” while Ultimate Classic Rock noted: “BACH’s voice has lost none of its rage or range, even in the highest registers…” In addition, the album’s ‘(Hold On) To The Dream’ track was included in Consequence’s “30 Best Metal & Hard Rock Songs Of 2024” which described the song as “…a late-career masterpiece from the former SKID ROW singer. Baz hits some of the highest notes of his career on the sweeping ballad, an inspiring anthem about perseverance.”
“I would like to thank all of the rockers who put “Child Within The Man” at the top of so many fans top album lists of 2024,”BACH continues. “This will be the last full video that we will shoot for a while. There is one more video surprise coming later this year from the record, but this will be the last full concept video from the album…for now anyways. I cannot thank you all enough for the support on this project which has consumed my life for over a decade now. For those devastated by the California wildfires and the courageous first responders, the song ‘To Live Again’ carries the sentiment that even if you lose everything you have, if you still have your family, that is the most important thing. Make art at all costs. That’s what we do. The show must go on. There is no other option.”
On the touring front, SEBASTIAN performed a record 91 shows in 2024. The dates included two successful North American tours – one around the release of the album, followed by another leg of autumn shows – and a series of overseas appearances just before the album’s release.
Last month, SEBASTIAN was back on TV when he appeared on Food Network’s “Worst Cooks In America – Celebrity Edition: Heroes vs. Villains.” In addition, last June SEBASTIAN was the subject of an A&E“Biography: Rock Legends” special. This follows his 2023 appearance as ‘Tiki’ on Fox’s “The Masked Singer.”
‘To Live Again,’ is the latest release from his “Child Within The Man” album which has yielded the following singles/videos, all of which have impacted the rock charts: ‘Freedom,’‘What Do I Got To Lose?,’‘Everybody Bleeds,’and ‘(Hold On) To The Dream’ (along with the ‘(Hold On) To The Dream’ alternate video) and ‘Future Of Youth.’

“There’s only one side when the one side is hate/ Getting on my bad side was the one way you relate/ I put my faith into your lie to my face/ Won’t pledge allegiance to your house of disgrace…” “Future of Youth” Lyrics by Sebastian Bach
SEBASTIAN BACH has released a new video—his fifth, from his current album CHILD WITHIN THE MAN—for “Future of Youth” with special guest performer, singer, songwriter and guitarist ORIANTHI. Watch the video for the musically explosive and lyrically unflinching single HERE.
“I am so excited to share this song and video with the world!” says the singer, songwriter, author, Broadway star, and actor. “This collaboration with my friend Orianthi began many years ago. The song ‘Future of Youth’ has always been very listenable to my ears due to the musicians involved and also the unbeatable combination of Elvis Baskette and Robert Ludwig. The chorus is something I could hear on the radio.”
In tribute to the song’s title, “Future of Youth” features the Las Vegas Academy Of The Arts Choir from BACH’s recently adopted hometown of Las Vegas.
“To have the Las Vegas Academy Of The Arts Choir perform and sing in the video makes my heart pound with emotion,” BACH says, “because I fell in love with singing in my own church choir many, many years ago. It has always been a dream of mine to have an actual choir in one of my rock videos—to have one of the top choirs in the country rock out in ‘Future of Youth’ is exactly what the message of the song is about. The Future of Youth belongs to the Youth and no one else!”
BACH adds, “Thank you so much to Orianthi for the amazing guitars and riffs and to the Las Vegas Academy of the Arts Vocal Director Matthew Ostlie—I can’t thank you enough for all of your incredible performances! Thank you so much to my Record label Reigning Phoenix Music for making this happen!”
CHILD WITHIN THE MAN was recorded in Orlando, Florida; produced and mixed by Baskette; engineered by Jef Moll, assistant engineered by Josh Saldate; and mastered by Robert Ludwig/Gateway Mastering. BACH wrote or co-wrote all the album’s 11 tracks and sang all lead and backing vocals. CHILD WITHIN THE MAN features guest appearances from John 5, Steve Stevens, and Orianthi—who all co-wrote their respective tracks with BACH—and two tracks co-written with Myles Kennedy (“What Do I Got to Lose?” and “To Live Again’); Devin Bronson on guitars, Todd Kerns (bass) and Jeremy Coulson (drums) round out the players on the album.
“Future of Youth” is the latest release from his CHILD WITHIN THE MAN album which has yielded four singles/videos, all of which have impacted the rock charts: Freedom,” “What Do I Got To Lose?,” “Everybody Bleeds,” and “(Hold On) To The Dream” along with the “(Hold On) To The Dream” alternate video. The new video is another collaboration between BACH and Jim Louvau and Tony Aguilera. “This video is our fifth in a row with my friends Jim and Tony. Once again, they have blown my mind with their artistic vision,” BACH notes.
