Catlin, Roger (December 2, 1999). "Bach: Put A Cork On Bottle Incident". Hartford Courant . Retrieved June 8, 2016. I loved getting to look behind the curtain at Skid Row during their peak. Getting the real scoop on stories I'd only read about with the managers spin on thing in Heavy Metal rags like Spin, Rip and Hit Parader. I wasn't surprised by the drug use but I was surprised by the volume of drug use. Some stories are very specific, name dropping names of those involved innocent or not. And then oddly, other stories were totally "vaguebooked" and made me question why he even bothered to tell them.

For his yelling and gruff exterior and partying and fighting, he's a very sensitive (he mentions crying many times) and thoughtful person. I hesitate to say he's misunderstood, but he's deeper than people give him credit for. Brittany from NyThat’s a lie. My sister Shanne won a teen magazine song writing contest about my father who killed someone in a knife fight playing pool. Such bs she had the song rights and everything where she had to sign it over. All she got was autographs and to meet these douchebags. The guitarist is a scumbag liar just trying to claim fame. Such a shame. Can’t even give credit where credit is due. Pathetic. That’s why they’re a washed up band. Ryan, Gavin (2011). Australia's Music Charts 1988–2010 (PDFed.). Mt Martha, Victoria, Australia: Moonlight Publishing. p.255.and Life” served as a breakthrough for Skid Row, propelling them to international fame. It helped establish their signature sound and paved the way for future hits like “I Remember You” and “Youth Gone Wild.” 7. Are there any live performances of “18 and Life” worth watching? So where does this get interesting? Bach interacts with 1970s acts like Kiss and Aerosmith - and they had survived 1970s partying to come out on the other side with strict sobriety edicts. Bach blissfully walks in with drugs or alcohol and is summarily told to take off. Especially poignant was a scene in which Gene Simmons of Kiss (Bach's idol) expresses his disgust at Bach's drug fueled antics. Similarly, behind the scenes of life with Bon Jovi, with whom his band was intimately bound, are also worth the read. Vignettes of other bands including Guns N Roses, Pantera, etc. are interspersed throughout.

Willie from Scottsdale, AzJust to echo what's already been suggested, "18 and life to go" is somewhat metaphorical. The kid was 18 years old when he shot his friend. So on one level, he will spend a considerable amount of time in prison, dependent on good behavior, etc. . He also has the rest of his natural life to contemplate the thing he did to his friend.This was told in a conversational and candid style, occasionally breaking the fourth wall by prefacing a sentence with "Dear reader" and sometimes apologizing for his behavior and justifying why he acted a certain way, which was a little jarring. He did seem to piss off a lot of people, and quite frankly, his abominable actions would piss me off, too. What I found most interesting were his friendships and working relationships with bands of the 80s such as Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, Guns 'n Roses, Motley Crue, and more, but unfortunately his drug use and occasional violent episodes caused a few riffs with various band members. Eventually he makes his way to the Broadway stage starring in Jekyll and Hyde and Jesus Christ, Superstar and included a little of the behind-the-scenes information. I'll be looking for old videos and Broadway performances on YouTube. Luke from Manchester, EnglandHe got put in jail because 18 to life is the minimum sentence you get for shooting and killing a fellow human being.

Resty Mervin Ponio from Marikina City, PhilippinesFor me, 18 and life means that kids beyond 18 y.o wastes their life, sometimes killing their friends. Maxx from Stonigton, Ctit got it's name because the kid who shot his friend was 18 and got a life sentence Tracy from Waukesha WiI have a daughter that loves this song actually all their songs. When she saw the video she said to me mom you are not supposed to mess around with guns, especially when drinking! Another mom that I met in the park heard what she told me and said you let her watch that I told that mom yes at least as you heard she understands what happens if you play with guns. She got the gist of the song. Top Singles Singles of '89". RPM. December 23, 1999 . Retrieved November 22, 2017– via Library and Archives Canada. Ciara from Ses, Beninhe kills his best friend in the video for some reason cant remember sebastian is so cute

Companies, etc.

Anyway, best to mostly ignore Nugent AND sebastion. Although he and I agree that Ted Nugent's Weekend Warrior album was pretty awesome. Music is music after all. a b Donnelly, Dave (January 16, 2006). "Skid Row – Skid Row". Sputnikmusic . Retrieved June 20, 2011. Anthony from DesertYou can find Sebastian in the GWAR movie SkulHedFace. As he is getting the Jiizmoglobin extracted from his head by Glomco for agreeing to sell his artistry into mediocracy, the countdown announces the levels as 22, 20, 18 and Life To Go.

At the end of the day: Sebastion Bach seems like a fun guy to jam with in a nightclub. But I wouldn't want to take him home to meet my kids or Dog.Matt from Seminole, OkMy guess is that the lyrics "18 and life to go" mean he is 18 with life in prison "to go". meaning "only 18 and already charged with life". Unless the lyrics were just wrote wrong.
