Sebastian Bach is touring the United States to celebrate 30 years since the release of Slave to The Grind (1991), Skid Row , which featured hits such as "In a Darkened Room," "Quicksand Jesus," and "Wasted Time." According to the vocalist, returning to the songs from that album doesn't present a great challenge for his voice.
Currently working on a secret project, Bach denies regretting the high notes in his songs when performing live. “All I can say is that I’ve been singing a lot for the last four months. (…) My voice is the same as always,” he told Rockin' Metal Revival (via Blabbermouth ) . “Recording an album isn’t the same as doing a show, it’s different. When recording an album, you’re in an air-conditioned room, with water and coffee nearby, the lights are perfect. You stay as still as possible and can sing as many times as you want until it’s perfect,” he explained humorously. “Nothing could be more different from a live show – unless you use playback. But I’m proud to say we won’t be using that anytime soon, it’s a real rock show.”
The singer explained his priorities when performing a repertoire already familiar to the audience. “Doing a show is more about communicating the spirit of the music and the song to the audience, and everyone gets involved. I'm not just going to stand still, trying to be perfect,” he continued. “As singers get older, I don't like to change the key of the song because, to me, that makes it sound like a different melody, and I'm not interested in that. If I'm going to change the vocal part a little bit in the same key, to me that's a cooler way to do it.”
