Former Skid Row frontman Sebastian Bach was interviewed by “The Buckethead Show” on Tampa’s 98 Rock radio station. You can listen to the conversation here.
During the interview, Bach was asked if there is any truth to the rumors that he is being considered for the lead-singer position in Velvet Revolver after the band’s recent falling out with Scott Weiland.
“I’ve talked to Slash recently,” Sebastian revealed. “I think it’d be really awkward for me to join that band. Number one, my new record, “Angel Down,” I like it more than Velvet Revolver records. That’s just being totally honest. I love Gun’s N’ Roses material, but I’ve got my own old songs — Skid Row — so for me, it would all depend on music. I wouldn’t just join the band just to join the band. If we came up with some incredible new songs, then maybe I’d think about it, but honestly, I’m very close friends with Axl (Rose), and he sings three songs on my new record. Axl’s been so nice to me — he’s helped me out my whole career. In Skid Row he helped us out, and in my solo band he brought me around the world, and then sang three songs on my new CD, which is pretty mind-blowing. I don’t know… It’s a cut-throat business, but Axl’s been so nice to me, I don’t think I would feel comfortable just joining Velvet Revolver and singing his songs every night. So I don’t think that’s gonna happen.”
