I want to do something creative, not just easy.

I’ve been solo since 1996, so I’ve been doing it for a while now.

There’s way easier ways to make money, let’s just put it that way.

It’s too easy to do your own site to not have one these days. I guess everyone has one.

Being a cover artist is not like being a real artist. That’s just copying what someone else did.

That’s why it’s called Sebastian Bach. I mean, it’s a permanent band, pretty much, but if I jam with other people, it just makes a better album, I think.

Well, you know, if you do 200 shows a year, they’re not all going to be like Castle Donnington.

You know what I’m doing starting 1st November? Jesus Christ Superstar.

To think that when they come out with these gigantic songs, it’s pretty tough to top them, you know.

Metal is still the biggest music now in America.

There is no singing anymore, everything is yelling and shouting and rapping and that is real boring to a guy like me.

I want to do something creative, not just easy.

I listen to music for emotion and I get zero emotion from rap.

I’m a TV junkie. I’m always flipping through channels.

Every single band in the world has these gigantic songs that people are obsessed with.

My first band, Kid Wicked, we did half covers and half originals.

I can’t drink whiskey like I used to back then, that’s for sure.

I had to get out of my record deal that I signed with my previous band and get a full solo record deal going so, with all of the paperwork that, that entails it did take a while.

Yes, but I have to say this: the band is going to decide where the band plays.

I got the whole band set up in the basement and we are jamming.

I write my lyrics into the computer and I hum my music into the dictaphone.

The way I look at a solo project is, I create what I want with whoever I want.

No, if it was up to me every record would be brand new studio material but Atlantic records asked me to put out a full live record because my tour really did do well last year.

Maybe one day I can have a reunion with myself.

You have got to make new music, that is the way that I look at it anyway.

They don’t have the edge that I need. I’m not interested in reliving 1988.

It is easy for me to go play a rock show, I have been doing that all my life and I love that.

Inside I never said I wanted to do theatre or be an actor.

Kids don’t go out and buy CDs, they make their own, they download them from the Internet.

Maybe if they start playing new rock bands videos, then maybe but there is no point in a guy like me spending 250 grand for a video that no one is ever going to see.

I do Skid Row every night.

They have had such a crazy life living with me as their dad. Not crazy but different from their friends.

So, it ended up being what you have there, seven songs brand new and ten live songs which is a good mix.

I guess I watch more MTV than you do. I’m a junkie for it.
