On the May 10 episode of SiriusXM‘s “Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk,” Sebastian Bach was asked about any communication he’s had with his ex-bandmates from SKID ROW regarding the potential for a reunion, given their current search for a vocalist.
“I found out something at the very last KISS show that I did not know before the very last KISS show. And it’s a major piece of miscommunication,” he responded. “And I need to communicate with those guys because there’s been something that happened that is not accurate. I can’t tell you what it is, but the whole narrative of they don’t like me and I’m too crazy is complete bulls**t. It’s not true. There’s been attempts to get us going again.
“I’m so focused on [my new] album [Child Within The Man] and this tour that I haven’t had time to think about that,” Bach continued. “I can just tell the world that there’s a good chance that’ll happen ’cause there’s no f**king reason not to, ’cause right now why it hasn’t happened is a miscommunication. That’s all I can say. There’s a miscommunication. That’s all I can tell you.”
When asked about his efforts to resolve any misunderstandings and his willingness to collaborate with SKID ROW once more, Bach replied: “I play with everybody in the world. I’m in KINGS OF CHAOS. I’m in ROYAL MACHINES. I got 25 guys in my band. There’s no reason why I can’t play with them. But here’s the thing: I only have so much energy. At the age of 56…. Right now, I’m trying to talk as softly as I can because I have three [shows] in a row. I don’t have the f**king energy. I’m trying, I’m giving as much as I can.
“I need to write a thoughtful e-mail clearing up a miscommunication, but I have to make sure it’s the perfect f**king e-mail and I don’t say anything wrong or make any jokes. I just don’t have the energy to do that right now, but I know I need to do that. I’ve just got a lot on my plate right now.”
Expanding on his wish to reunite with SKID ROW, Sebastian expressed: “I would love to do it. I have dreams about doing it. I have a recurring f**king nightmare where SKID ROW reunites, and I go to the gig, and I forget my in-ears. I’m backstage, and the whole arena’s packed, and Rachel [Bolan, SKID ROW bassist] and Snake [SKID ROW guitarist Dave Sabo], I go, ‘F**k, you guys. F**k, I’ve gotta go back to the hotel. I forgot my f**king in-ears.’ [Laughs] And I’m in the Uber, and I’m f**king racing, and the whole reunion’s happening. I’ve gotta get my f**king in-ears, and I can’t get the hotel key.
“So let’s analyze that, let’s analyze that s**t right there that goes on in my head. And then I have these other dreams where we do a reunion show, and nothing happens. We just play, and then we walk off and we’re, like, ‘Right on.’ And there’s no fighting, there’s no drama, we just do a show. And there’s no, like, fighting or drama. And I told this to Rob [Affuso, former SKID ROW drummer]. He’s laughing. He’s, like, ‘Imagine that. F**king imagine that. Just do a f**king show.’ It’s funny, these dreams I have. But the in-ear one is real.”
This past March, singer Erik Grönwall announced his decision to leave SKID ROW explaining that he wanted to “prioritize [his] health and full recovery.”
