About

Despite a preternatural ability to draw bad press, Sebastian Bach has managed to (almost) keep his head above water as he's sailed the seas of both metal and reality TV stardom. Long after being fired from Skid Row, Bach emerged in the '00s as a veteran of the hair metal wars on SuperGroup, a reality show in which he bummed out Evan Seinfeld, Jason Bonham, Scott Ian and Ted Nugent on a daily basis as the quintet lived together for two weeks and tried to exist as a band. He also had a stint on Broadway, appearing in both Jekyll & Hyde and The Rocky Horror Picture Show. His 2007 solo album, Angel Down, with downright ballsy guitars and riveting appearances by Axl Rose, managed to make the case that he could still hold sway as a metal singer, and in 2008, Bach continued his streak of refuting the naysayers by winning the reality TV contest Gone Country 2.
