Sebastain Bach at Ziggy's pt 2

After that Sebastian started working on his solo career and working with a number of bands and even spent time working with Guns and Roses. In 2000 he was approached by Frank Wilderhorn to replace David Hasselhoff in the title role of his successful show, Jekyll and Hyde. He agreed and is original run was extended by months and fans even gave him the Playbill award for best male replacement in a Broadway show and the critics loved him. He would later go on to star in the Rocky Horror Pictures Show and Jesus Christ Superstar. I had the privilege of seeing him in both Jekyll and Hyde as well as Jesus Christ Super Star and he was incredible.

He would continue to work in a number of musical genres and even one time considered working in country music. In 2002 he stared in the VH1 reality show. Forever Wild. From 2003-2007 he had a reoccurring role in the hit show, Gilmore Girls, as musician Gill. Last year his album Kicking and Screaming was released making it into the top 50 and winning critical appraise from professionals and fans alike. In August 2011, Sebastian suffered a personal set back as his New Jersey home was flooded when Hurricane Irene pounded the East Coast. Many of his Kiss collection as well as his Skid Row mementoes were destroyed but he was able to save his mementoes from his father.

Sebastian spent over an hour entertaining the sold out crowd with Skid Row fans as well as music from his new album. Even though he is now 44, he is still in great shape and still hot. Female fans still love him. He still sounds as incredible as always and puts on a great, high energy show. He loves to interact with his fans having them to sing along and shaking hands with the audience. One fan held up a guitar for him to sign and he remarked he was kind of in the middle of working, but laughed and signed it any way. He even climbed out on the speakers so he could get closer to his fans. Myself and several of my gal pals sang along, screamed, and got to hold Sebastian’s hands and squealed just like when we saw him in our 20s with Skid Row. During his last song, Youth Gone Wild, he even brought a tiny rocker on stage with him who looked to be all of 6 to 8 years old but who knew the words to the song and even sported the horns.

Sebastian has always had a reputation amongst his fans for meeting his fans. After the show we were told there was a meet and greet in the back. I was so excited for both myself and my friend Rebecca who is a huge fan and had wanted to meet him. She was in front of me and when she meet him he gave her a huge hug and then I could see her talking with Sebastian and he gave her another big hug and this time just held her for a minute and when he was done I could see she was crying and saw Sebastian wiping away tears himself. My friend left with a huge smile on her face and I asked her what he said to her. She explained to Sebastian how much his music had meant to her and how she had been in and out of the hospital for the past 3 years. He asked her what was wrong and she told him about her medical problems. He again hugged her and told her he would be thinking of her and how humbled that when she was so sick she listed to his music to make her feel better. And that is how Sebastian is..a very sincere person who truly loves and appreciates his fans. He was only supposed to sign merchandise that was sold there but signed everything people brought. I brought along my backstage sign from Jekyll and Hyde and he was glad to talk about the show. He seemed to really appreciate it when fans knew him from other than just his bands.

Sebastian can be found on both Facebook and Twitter.

Sebastian is the consummate performer giving his all and putting on a fantastic show for his fans. But he is also a very down to earth person who loves being around his fans. And that just as to his sexiness. If Sebastian is coming to your town, make sure you go see him.
