And, what I’d never seen before, endearing pictures of him in Ace makeup as a kid and hanging out with KISS circa 1977…. There were clips of Skid Row videos and oddly, lots of cartoon Thor. The screens showed old school selfies: Bach with Bon Jovi, Lemmy, Nikki Sixx.

The stage looked like a cross between a Best Buy HD TV display and a family album projector from the 70s. He offered sage advice such as “You know what’s fun? Putting your cell phone away for 5 minutes!” Preach! The Stage Then the stage raps began, heavy with nostalgia but engaging, joking around throughout the evening between each song. And he was near impossible to photograph, zipping around the stage and turning right when I took a picture. Sebastian oddly opened with the Skid Row album outro “Tornado” instrumental and the bonus track “Forever” THEN exploded like Valentino with a hand grenade with “Big Guns” and “Sweet Little Sister.” Sebastian was in great voice, looking happy with life. Where else besides a Bach concert are you going to hear Almost Human and I’m on Fire? The Show They did nothing for me.Īfter they got off stage, the “warm up” song mix was heavy on deep tracks from Van Halen and KISS. Perhaps you’ve heard of them as they were openers on one of the KISS tours.

Unfortunately Sebastian’s set started over an hour late, presumably because the opener Kobra and the Lotus had issues syncing up their backing tapes. And for good reason there was easily 1500 strong when Sebastian hit the stage. It was a hell of a lot more spacious than the 800 to 1000 capacity max venues like the Gothicand the Ogden I usually go to in Denver. But I love random set ups like this, they make for better stories. I entered the barn and saw a sign that said CAUTION: UNEVEN FLOOR. I thought it was going to be outside like the exceptionally run Freedom FestI had been to there a few months prior. So when I rolled up to the Jefferson County Fairgrounds in Golden, CO and saw a sign that resembled the “Puppet Show and Spinal Tap” one, my initial knee-jerk reaction was WTF? And then I saw the venue itself. To say my expectations were high would be an understatement. This was just weeks before Slave to the Grindcame out and Use Your Illusion hit the streets! Since that time I have seen Scab Row with Johnny “Meh” Solinger and Dragonforce Boy but never the real deal – Sebastian. My next opportunity was in 1991 but I was rock blocked by lack of cash when Skid Row supported Guns N’ Roses at the Deer Creek amphitheater in Indianapolis. When Skid Row’s debut album came out I was 15 years old and too young per my parents to go an evil hard rock concert.

His voice sounds excellent and the show is an energy-filled 90 minutes of pure RNF’nR. This tour’s promotional material states #notapes #nofakes. He and his band are playing that album track-by-track, as well as selected songs from Slave to the Grind.
