And Finally
Skid Row guy knows why Axl is always late
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 8 September 2010
Sebastian Bach, formerly of metallers Skid Row and a good friend with a certain Axl Rose, has an explanation as to why his buddy always seems to take to the stage at least half an hour late.
After a run of shambolic Guns N Roses shows in the UK and Ireland recently, Blabbermouth quote Bach as explaining: “Everybody has all these theories as to why he acts the way he acts. And there’s no big mystery. He tells me the source of all of the insanity – it’s his voice. It’s his job to sing like that, and sometimes that sound is hard for him. And a lot of singers, you know… To sing in that range is just not an easy thing to do. And he does what he can, and if it takes him 45 more minutes to warm up his pipes so he can sing ‘Sweet Child O’ Mine’ [so be it]”.
Given the feedback I’ve heard of his vocal performance at Reading and Leeds, perhaps he should just mime in the future. Then the songs might sound good and he could start on time. Another rock problem sorted by your friends at CMU.
