PODCAST: Episode 932 - Sebastian Bach Discusses His “Child Within The Man” Album and Upcoming Headline Tour · Ghost Cult Magazine Podcast

  My son showed me the secret to being a musician, I think is you
• 0:05
  cannot teach or tell someone to rehearse on their own.
• 0:10
  Like you either have that within you to lock yourself in a room
• 0:14
  by yourself and play for two hours or whatever.
• 0:18
  You either have that in you or you don't.
• 0:28
  What's up everybody, It's Kefi of Ghost cultman.com.
• 0:31
  I am super stoked to be joined by heavy metal legend Sebastian
• 0:34
  Bach. How are you doing, buddy?
• 0:35
  All right. How's it going, man?
• 0:37
  It's going great. We met before but I've never
• 0:39
  interviewed you, so this is a big first for me.
• 0:41
  I'm very grateful to the team for letting me have a few
• 0:44
  minutes with you. Thank you, I appreciate it.
• 0:47
  Yeah, man, I'm so stoked. I've been doing my Baz
• 0:50
  discography run through for the whole I really, I really have to
• 0:54
  say like we were big on The Child Within the Man when it
• 0:57
  came out in 2024 and I thought it was like a real step forward
• 1:02
  for you. I've always been a fan, but I
• 1:05
  really loved Angel Down and I was like, oh, he's like, I love
• 1:08
  these new records, but Angel Down is like hear from me.
• 1:10
  And I really thought Child Within the Man was so I don't
• 1:13
  want to say mature for a veteran guy of like 40 years in
• 1:16
  Rock'n'roll, but such a mature, amazing album.
• 1:20
  You're always authentically who you are.
• 1:22
  I I wanted to kind of start before We unstoke.
• 1:24
  You're promoting the tour. Let's just dip back for a second
• 1:27
  and just take it back to that record, you know, where there
• 1:30
  are kind of changes in your life up to that point that I think
• 1:34
  influenced that record maybe. Well, we did that record in the
• 1:38
  pandemic and, you know, we flew down to Florida.
• 1:42
  We lived at Elvis Baskett's house, which is also his studio,
• 1:47
  and we didn't have anything, you know, no gigs or interviews or
• 1:52
  anything to do except for make that record.
• 1:56
  So it was a very unique position for us to be in where we're not
• 2:02
  playing concerts all the time. So that's why it sounds like
• 2:06
  that. And there's a lot going on in a
• 2:09
  lot of those songs. There's a lot of ear candy.
• 2:13
  So the production is incredible, the mastering is incredible, the
• 2:18
  songs are great. I love what do I got to lose?
• 2:20
  Here's my shirt here. I love that song so much.
• 2:24
  I Co wrote that with Miles Kennedy and I'm just super proud
• 2:28
  of the record. And we don't have the problem
• 2:31
  that we can't play our new songs in the set.
• 2:34
  Nobody goes the bathroom when we do.
• 2:36
  What do I got to lose? I guarantee you nobody goes to
• 2:41
  they're not like, oh, this is a new song.
• 2:43
  No, nobody is saying that. They're like fists in the air.
• 2:49
  The the new songs go over just as good as the old songs, you
• 2:53
  know? Yeah, that record rips so much.
• 2:55
  And you know, it's interesting. I had an interview a while back
• 2:58
  with Dee Snyder and he talked about kind of his solo arc and
• 3:01
  his solo albums and trying to match.
• 3:04
  Like, I don't want to ever let down the fans that know me from
• 3:07
  this. Obviously I'm not the same
• 3:08
  person and I feel like it's the same thing with you.
• 3:10
  Every record you do try to improve and top yourself.
• 3:13
  I do think that this the child with the man is the best
• 3:15
  recorded vocals you've ever done.
• 3:17
  And like I said, I talked earlier about maturity, which
• 3:20
  again, and maybe sounds weird to older guys like us, but I do
• 3:23
  feel like there's a vocal maturity, like you know what
• 3:26
  you're capable of. You know when to sit in the
• 3:28
  pocket, when to go high, when to, you know, how phrasing
• 3:31
  things that you've worked on your whole career.
• 3:33
  I really feel like this is the pinnacle.
• 3:35
  I'm sure the next one could do even better.
• 3:39
  Well, I don't know when that's going to happen, but, well, you
• 3:43
  know, I, I, again, I gotta give credit where credit's due.
• 3:47
  The producer, Elvis Baskett is just so great to work with.
• 3:52
  He gives me such a unique perspective and opinion.
• 3:56
  And he is a serious fan of the first record, Skid Row and Slave
• 4:02
  to the Grind. He loves that album.
• 4:04
  So he really wanted to make a record that fit with Slave to
• 4:08
  the Grind and, and he, he definitely did.
• 4:12
  I mean, he, he, if you listen to it, it fits perfectly.
• 4:16
  I mean, I don't know what to say.
• 4:18
  Like it's I'm a fan of my own album, which is a great feeling
• 4:22
  to have. Right, it'd be bad if you got
• 4:25
  finished with it and hate it. I don't put out things that I
• 4:29
  hate, you know? Right on.
• 4:32
  Absolutely. Fair, you know, and Elvis is
• 4:35
  great. I'm a huge fan of his work,
• 4:37
  especially with 7 Dustin people he's collaborated with overtime.
• 4:41
  But yeah, what a fantastic record.
• 4:42
  I'm really excited to see the tour and hear these songs along
• 4:46
  with the next batch. I think we caught you on tour.
• 4:49
  Not me personally, but our team caught you in New York on tour a
• 4:53
  few years ago, and it was all, you know, like, gushing reviews
• 4:57
  and people were pumped. And so Sony Hall right in mid.
• 5:00
  Yeah, yeah. Beautiful venue.
• 5:03
  Like a beautiful, redeveloped old school venue in a way, with
• 5:07
  greats. Probably some of the best sound
• 5:08
  I can remember when I lived in New York.
• 5:11
  Yeah, I, I could never believe that all of that's going on so
• 5:15
  far down underground. Like you got to, you got to take
• 5:19
  elevators down, down, down, like all your equipment and
• 5:23
  everything. And you get down there and it's
• 5:25
  so far underground. I'm like this is like how do
• 5:29
  they make this under here? It's like the Bat Cave, I think.
• 5:31
  And not to mention, like Midtown Manhattan.
• 5:33
  You got the subway right, the sewers right.
• 5:37
  The subway, you can hear the feel the subway sometimes.
• 5:40
  And but there's a killer music venue underground ground in
• 5:44
  Manhattan, and that's Sony Music Hall.
• 5:46
  Yeah, that's great. I used to really miss BB Kings.
• 5:50
  Long lost and missed and loved. And you played there a bunch of
• 5:53
  times and not now gone, but like, I feel like Sony Hall is
• 5:57
  carrying that legacy. Might even be similar bookers.
• 6:00
  Yeah. So it's very fun.
• 6:02
  And, you know, I I love how you go out live.
• 6:05
  And again, like you said, it's all rippers.
• 6:07
  You don't want anybody taking a bathroom break.
• 6:09
  Hopefully not too long of a break.
• 6:11
  Beer or merch. What do you have to do today
• 6:14
  versus back in the day? If anything, to just keep your
• 6:17
  instrument going for a whole tour full steam?
• 6:20
  Like, do you have to just kind of like shut it down sometimes?
• 6:23
  Do you have different? No, I have, I have the same warm
• 6:28
  up that I've been doing since I was a teenager in the mid late
• 6:32
  80s from a guy named Don Lawrence.
• 6:35
  And and I just keep doing my warm up, keep my voice going.
• 6:40
  I have like the best management in the world, Rick Sales.
• 6:45
  They manage Slayer, they manage Mastodon, they manage Ghost, and
• 6:52
  they have managed me for maybe 20 years now, 1520 years, and
• 6:59
  they just keep me so busy that my voice doesn't have a chance
• 7:03
  to get out of shape. I'm always playing, so I'm
• 7:07
  playing next weekend in Bristol, TN and Newton, NC and then the
• 7:15
  weekend after that. Our bus tour starts February 26,
• 7:20
  Yamava, California and we're going to be on the bus for
• 7:24
  around 2 months. About April 10th, I think is the
• 7:28
  last show. And then two days after April
• 7:31
  10th, I get on the Monsters of Rock cruise to the Bahamas for
• 7:37
  my art show, which I mean, it's, I am just so busy.
• 7:46
  It's beyond comprehension. It's, it's, it's just
• 7:50
  unbelievable. So I'm always singing, I'm
• 7:54
  always doing something so I don't have time to forget how to
• 7:59
  do it 'cause I'm always doing it.
• 8:01
  Right on. I love the art stuff.
• 8:03
  Also, it's kind of like following in the footsteps of
• 8:06
  one of your heroes there, Paul Stanley.
• 8:07
  Yeah, who is quite a fine artist.
• 8:09
  Before a kiss actually went to WE.
• 8:11
  Actually have the same it's the same art gallery.
• 8:14
  It's the same way. Yeah, it's me and Paul are with
• 8:17
  the same exact gallery and I am a KISS fanatic.
• 8:21
  Oh, I know. And my dad, my dad was a very
• 8:24
  famous, prolific artist and he died way too young.
• 8:27
  So this is a way for me to make his art available and for me to
• 8:33
  finish pieces of art that he didn't get the chance to finish
• 8:37
  or put my spin on art that he did, which is what we've been
• 8:43
  doing. And people are really digging
• 8:45
  it. And, and I love I, you know, I
• 8:47
  mean, I, I, I, I grew up around art and my dad would Take Me Out
• 8:52
  of school. I, I, I remember sitting in, in
• 8:54
  my class and hearing over the PA, Sebastian, could you come
• 8:58
  down to the principal's office? And I'd be like, what did I do?
• 9:02
  I didn't do nothing. And I get down there and my
• 9:04
  daddy's sitting there going, hey, buddy, we're going to,
• 9:07
  we're going to hang the art show today.
• 9:09
  And he, he would Take Me Out of school to hang his show.
• 9:14
  Like, I was like his roadie. And then after the show he would
• 9:20
  always buy me the same thing every time.
• 9:22
  He would take me to the variety store and I would pick out a
• 9:26
  dollar's worth of comics, which, you know, when they were $0.20,
• 9:30
  I could get 5, and when they went up to $0.25 I could get 4.
• 9:34
  See, I'm really good at math, right?
• 9:37
  The only math that matters How much is this comic book store
• 9:40
  run? And then 50 years later, it's
• 9:43
  like, how much is this record store run going?
• 9:44
  To buy me. That's right.
• 9:46
  This is going to cost me, but I love hearing you talk about your
• 9:48
  dad and the art and and again, such a wonderful job by you to
• 9:52
  carry that forward and carry his spirit with with you and and in
• 9:56
  your work also. Well, you have, you have, you
• 9:58
  have Eddie by Iron Maiden right behind you on the wall.
• 10:02
  And I just think it's really cool when all of the Iron Maiden
• 10:06
  album covers have the certain same vibe.
• 10:09
  And and that's kind of what I've been doing with my dad's art.
• 10:12
  For 40 years now. Amazing.
• 10:15
  Do you? Have you ever met Derek?
• 10:16
  He's incredible. No.
• 10:18
  You probably would, you'd probably love to talk about that
• 10:20
  with you if you ever met him. He's a great dude.
• 10:23
  And and again in, you know, like you said, you're built for this,
• 10:26
  right? Like you've been on the road,
• 10:27
  you know, really nonstop. You're always busy, you know,
• 10:30
  doing something creative, which is wonderful.
• 10:32
  I think the more good you put into the world, it'll give you
• 10:35
  back. I think I do truly believe that.
• 10:38
  I know it's a crazy time in the world right now, but like, I
• 10:40
  believe it or not, like what you're doing is bringing out joy
• 10:43
  to people who want to come out and rock out and forget about
• 10:46
  their problems for three or four hours.
• 10:48
  Well, that's, you know, music has a life of its own.
• 10:52
  And when I get really down and sad, you know, I get very lonely
• 10:57
  on the road. I get extremely lonely.
• 11:02
  But singing there's, you know, there's an expression, it's
• 11:04
  called singing the Blues. And you know, if I'm in a bad
• 11:08
  mood or a sad mood or a mean mood, I can put that into my
• 11:15
  vocals. And I do believe me, tell you
• 11:20
  that that's what I I put my emotions into the singing.
• 11:24
  And I think that's why people like coming to my shows, I
• 11:27
  think. Right on.
• 11:28
  I don't, I don't think there's a lot of, you know, not as much
• 11:31
  catharsis as watching at home on YouTube.
• 11:34
  Please, people listen to me in the sound of my voice.
• 11:36
  Go out. If you want to see bands, why
• 11:38
  don't these bands come to my town?
• 11:39
  Because when they do, you have to go, you have to show.
• 11:42
  Up you have to. Yes, this, this business doesn't
• 11:45
  exist anymore without live music.
• 11:47
  If it actually goes away, we're all done for.
• 11:49
  I don't know what I'm going to do.
• 11:52
  I'm going to less shows than I used to, but we are covering as
• 11:54
  many shows as possible as a group, our team.
• 11:57
  So I'm really, I feel really fortunate about that when it
• 12:00
  comes to the set list, right? You know, how much do you mix it
• 12:04
  up with the more recent albums? And obviously people want to
• 12:07
  hear the classics too. Well, right now we're doing 4
• 12:10
  songs from the new record Live in the set.
• 12:13
  We we did have Everybody Bleeds in there, but that was a bit too
• 12:17
  crazy. And then Future Youth, we put
• 12:21
  the video out and that is a real joy to sing and play live.
• 12:26
  It really is. And hold on to the dream is just
• 12:29
  crushing. And freedom is more cowbell,
• 12:33
  which everybody loves cowbell. Like what are you crazy?
• 12:37
  So we tried Hard Darkness at a sound check recently, but it was
• 12:43
  a little too hard. No that that one's going to take
• 12:49
  some rehearsal because there's a lot going on.
• 12:51
  There's so many vocals in the chorus of that song that I got
• 12:55
  to figure out what part I'm going to take, what part my bass
• 12:58
  player is going to take. We try to just do it at sound
• 13:02
  check and and we need to work on it a little bit.
• 13:05
  So maybe that'll be in the set. But I love that song.
• 13:08
  It's heavy as heck. Right on.
• 13:11
  Yeah. It's so good.
• 13:13
  I was kind of surprised. Does your son sing?
• 13:15
  I know he plays drums and singing drummers are far and few
• 13:19
  between, but funny that he you know, not.
• 13:22
  Not surprising that he became a musician like his dad, but super
• 13:25
  interesting that he's behind the kit, right?
• 13:27
  Yeah, he has a very low speaking voice and a very loud.
• 13:32
  He's very loud. Especially after a couple drinks
• 13:35
  he gets really loud. But as you can tell by me
• 13:38
  talking, my speaking voice is actually high.
• 13:42
  Like it, it's high pitched. He's like, I can't even imitate
• 13:47
  him. He's like he's got a low voice.
• 13:49
  I don't know what the deal is. There still killer on the drums
• 13:52
  though so that's. You know, you know, like I say
• 13:55
  this about my son playing in my band, life is what happens to
• 14:00
  you while you're busy making other plans.
• 14:03
  That's John Lennon, and you know, I am very good friends
• 14:09
  with incredible iconic drummers. Bobby Jarzambeck, my drummer who
• 14:15
  now plays with George Strait, Jeremy Coulson, who's on the
• 14:19
  record, who is from a Steve Eyes band, who is just an
• 14:23
  unbelievable drummer. But my son showed me the, the,
• 14:28
  the, the secret to being a musician, I think, is you cannot
• 14:33
  teach or tell someone to rehearse on their own.
• 14:37
  Like, you either have that within you to lock yourself in a
• 14:41
  room by yourself and play for two hours or whatever.
• 14:45
  You either have that in you or you don't.
• 14:48
  And he does. And when we were locked up in
• 14:52
  the pandemic for two years, I built a drum Hut because drums
• 14:58
  are loud and I couldn't hear the television.
• 15:00
  So, and you can watch that on YouTube.
• 15:04
  It's still out there. Me building the drum Hut.
• 15:06
  It's pretty ridiculous. But but then I just listened to
• 15:09
  my son once that Hut existed. He just played drums every day,
• 15:16
  all day for two years. And, and it was the same time
• 15:21
  when Wolfgang Van Halen put out his first album and he had the
• 15:26
  song song to his dad. Distance.
• 15:28
  No matter what the distance is, that will be with you.
• 15:31
  And I was listening to that song produced by Elvis Basquette.
• 15:35
  I was listening to that song while my other year was hearing
• 15:39
  my son just pound drums as hard as he could for hours and hours
• 15:46
  and never stopped. He would go in deep late into
• 15:49
  the night. And I was sitting there going,
• 15:51
  you know, if Eddie Van Halen gave his son a chance in music,
• 15:57
  how can I not? How can I not give my son a
• 16:00
  chance when he wants nothing more than to play drums with his
• 16:04
  dad? And so it just happened.
• 16:06
  And I didn't know if he could handle the road.
• 16:09
  I didn't know if he could handle the mental stress of being on
• 16:14
  the road all the time, which will break some people.
• 16:18
  And then he proved that he could.
• 16:20
  He had kind of a wild night in Germany at Walken, where I
• 16:24
  wasn't quite sure if this was going to work out.
• 16:28
  But but he, he, you know, he got a little bit wild at walking,
• 16:34
  but that was OK. You know, he's, he's a young
• 16:37
  dude. It's pretty weird when I look at
• 16:39
  this background in my arm and then here's my arm.
• 16:44
  It's like, it's so weird. Like it's the same arm.
• 16:48
  Wow, it's neat. OK, Anyways, yeah.
• 16:52
  Awesome. Yeah, I love hearing that.
• 16:53
  Yeah. If you want to know the story,
• 16:55
  OK, my son, my walking was my my son's first ever show he ever
• 17:03
  did in Europe was also the first time he's ever been to Europe.
• 17:07
  He's never been there so and he's a metal man.
• 17:11
  Like he loves metal, like he just loves it.
• 17:15
  So he didn't see any problem. He flew from Las Vegas to
• 17:21
  Germany. Okay, got off the plane and went
• 17:25
  straight to the gig to watch the bands like with the band and he
• 17:31
  ended up he ended up drinking like he he didn't have any
• 17:35
  concept of jet lag right and he didn't understand how heavy it
• 17:44
  is it when you go from Vegas to Germany and then he didn't even
• 17:47
  go to his hotel room. He just went right to the show
• 17:50
  and started drinking and he ended up with who's the who's
• 17:53
  the black metal band? That's what the fuck?
• 17:57
  What do they call? They're like really heavy, even
• 18:01
  heavier. Not W it Start Watain.
• 18:04
  So my son went to walking and ended up in Watain's dressing
• 18:11
  room, hammered drunk. And those guys, Watain, who I've
• 18:17
  never met, but they were like your dad, Sebastian Bach, and
• 18:20
  they took care of my son, these satanic death metal guys.
• 18:26
  And I've never. But anyways, if you guys are
• 18:28
  watching this interview, thank you very much.
• 18:30
  You, you took care of my son. What?
• 18:32
  How many dads can say that? Oh, thank you, Watain for taking
• 18:37
  care of my son. But he spent that whole night
• 18:40
  hanging out with those guys. I think he even rode their bus
• 18:43
  back to the town. So thank you, Watain.
• 18:47
  Appreciate your evil ways. Yeah, that's impressive for a
• 18:51
  bunch of reasons, including the fact that they cover themselves
• 18:53
  with, like, dead, Yeah, animal blood.
• 18:56
  And it reeks. So props to him.
• 18:58
  If he can survive that tour bus ride, he can survive anything.
• 19:02
  They were very nice to him. They took care of him.
• 19:04
  They knew he was fucked up. Well, Swedes, you know, they're
• 19:07
  all good at him, baby. Show the next day.
• 19:09
  Very, very well made. So but he put parrot my son
• 19:12
  played his ass off and fuck off scar spam calls my my phone is
• 19:19
  not nothing but Stan now it's like.
• 19:21
  I like to pick them up and fuck with them.
• 19:23
  Yeah, but it's AI try to do that, but it's a, it's a
• 19:26
  recording like. Terrible.
• 19:29
  Yeah, the worst. We've approved you for your
• 19:32
  loan. I never fucking asked for any
• 19:34
  fucking loan. God, I'm doing an interview.
• 19:37
  Some spam company, spam blocking company should hire you and that
• 19:41
  should be the sound bite right there.
• 19:43
  I didn't call. I didn't sign up for a loan.
• 19:45
  Super cool. Thank you for sharing that
• 19:46
  story, man. And again, must be really
• 19:49
  gratifying and amazing to be on stage doing what you have been
• 19:52
  doing almost your whole life. And then your kids back there,
• 19:54
  who's a grown up? I miss many moments of his
• 19:59
  childhood and my other kids as well, so to have him on the road
• 20:04
  with me is like making up for. Some of the times that I wasn't
• 20:08
  there and like, I really, I really like having him like in
• 20:11
  the airport, you know, or, or going to dinner on the day off
• 20:16
  to have some family with you. It does mean a lot for sure.
• 20:20
  Yeah, I bet that helps. I bet that helps.
• 20:23
  Just a few more questions for you, man.
• 20:24
  You've been sensational. So fun.
• 20:27
  Out of curiosity, what is the best part of your day on tour
• 20:30
  and the worst part of your day on tour?
• 20:34
  The best part of the day is being on the stage.
• 20:38
  I mean, I love I love the first song, which is what do I got to
• 20:41
  lose when I walk out there for the first song?
• 20:43
  I'm so happy in a in a great mood.
• 20:46
  That tune puts me in a great mood.
• 20:48
  And then if the crowd is good, then that's that's a great
• 20:52
  night. And they usually are.
• 20:54
  So over the years and the older I, I have realized that the less
• 21:00
  I talk during the day the show, the better I sing at the show.
• 21:05
  So that that might it's, it's it's it's actually challenging
• 21:11
  to not use your voice. Like everybody wants to talk to
• 21:14
  you. And you know, even when I get in
• 21:16
  the car from the hotel to the to the gig, they the driver just
• 21:21
  wants to talk the whole time. I'm like, I'm not going to
• 21:23
  fucking use my voice in the Uber.
• 21:26
  What I got to fucking show to say, my God.
• 21:29
  Amazing. And it's so, it's so awkward
• 21:32
  because then they're like, so how's your name been going?
• 21:35
  And I'm like, so, so have you been here before?
• 21:38
  Have you ever, have you ever been?
• 21:40
  I'm like. Yeah, awkward and.
• 21:47
  It's always the same. And then, you know, you know, in
• 21:51
  your head, they're going, this guy's a fucking Dick, man.
• 21:54
  Like, but I, I just, I've been doing this my whole life.
• 22:01
  And, and when I don't speak during the day and then I go to
• 22:05
  the show and then I put my warm up on an hour before the show
• 22:09
  and then I go out there. It's, it's, it's my voice is
• 22:14
  ready to go. If I spent all day blabbing and
• 22:17
  talking and it's not as bright. It's like, I just know how to do
• 22:23
  this. Getty Lee will tell you from
• 22:25
  Rush. You only have a certain amount
• 22:28
  of of notes to spend during the day.
• 22:31
  Okay, but it's like money. Like say you got 100 bucks and
• 22:36
  you got 100 notes. There's a, there's a point in
• 22:39
  your voice during the day where you've used it enough and your
• 22:43
  voices goodnight. So I, I circle the gig, you
• 22:48
  know, whatever the time is, and I focus on that and, and I after
• 22:53
  the show, I can talk as much as I want, like I can.
• 22:56
  It doesn't matter, you know, but before the show, I try to save
• 23:00
  my voice for the show. It was very boring answer.
• 23:03
  I'm sorry, but well, but good. Advice.
• 23:05
  And that's what we're looking for here.
• 23:06
  Advice for all you singers and me when I yell into an electric
• 23:10
  stick on occasion. I like.
• 23:12
  I like. This mic.
• 23:13
  I've seen some video clips of guys at sound checks singing as
• 23:18
  hard as they can and there's there's nobody there.
• 23:21
  Like I could tell you're not a pro if you're blowing your shit
• 23:25
  out at 2:00 PM and your show's at 8.
• 23:29
  Like it's a joke. It's like, why?
• 23:31
  Who are you singing for? The janitor?
• 23:33
  Like like my sound check is I put I make sure everything's
• 23:38
  working like the in ears and make sure that the amps are not
• 23:43
  too close to me so they overpower me.
• 23:46
  You know, I don't I don't go up there to sing the whole set.
• 23:50
  Like I don't understand musicians that want to do that.
• 23:54
  But I say if you're the stage. I was going to say probably
• 23:59
  leftover from the old music industry, right?
• 24:02
  Like I think that's how the old it used to be that way and maybe
• 24:05
  we don't have to do that anymore.
• 24:06
  I'm just saying you're not going to see Geddy Lee out on the in
• 24:11
  the afternoon of the show doing 2112 for for for the roadies. 19
• 24:17
  minutes at the top of his range. Also while doing that base work.
• 24:21
  I did that all as a kid. Hey man, awesome talking to you.
• 24:24
  One last question. I always end with a wild card
• 24:26
  question, so I love to ask this. If you could invite any five
• 24:31
  people to dinner, living dead, family, whatever, who would you
• 24:35
  invite and what would you serve as the men?
• 24:37
  Living or dead it. Could be anybody from out of
• 24:39
  time, anything. Oh wow.
• 24:42
  Dinner with Baz? What does that look like?
• 24:44
  The 55 great people you could. Invite just off the top of my
• 24:48
  head. Robert Plant.
• 24:50
  Never met him. He did come to a Skid Row show
• 24:54
  once and I didn't get to meet him, which really haunts me.
• 24:59
  Andre the Giant because I I have a big dude and and big monsters
• 25:06
  and big guy like that fascinates me and I would love to see him
• 25:11
  drink 24 beers in one sitting like that would be fun.
• 25:15
  Maybe Neil Peart from Rush and I would invite my dad.
• 25:21
  There you go. They would be coming and my
• 25:22
  cousin Kevin who I don't know I lost recent.
• 25:26
  Oh I'm so sorry for your loss. What would be the menu?
• 25:29
  What would you serve? Well, I, I, I've been on a diet
• 25:33
  for years. I've lost a lot of weight, so I
• 25:36
  don't eat the way I used to eat. My dad was not a health guy.
• 25:44
  He raised us eating tacos. Dude, that was our main.
• 25:49
  That was our big treat, that if we were having a special
• 25:53
  occasion, my dad would make tacos with corn shell tortillas.
• 25:59
  It doesn't sound like much, but that was my favorite dinner for
• 26:02
  sure. When my dad would go in the
• 26:04
  kitchen and make tacos. And I mean, it's not hard to
• 26:07
  make tacos, really, but it sure tasted good to me.
• 26:11
  Right on. It's like heavy metal.
• 26:12
  I don't trust people that don't love metal.
• 26:14
  I don't trust people that don't love tacos.
• 26:15
  That's how I live my life, by a very simple code.
• 26:18
  There you go, brother. Next, your Bach man, great
• 26:21
  catching up with you. Congrats on the tour.
• 26:24
  Keep rocking out. I'm I'm looking forward to
• 26:26
  seeing you guys live. Thank you brother.
• 26:28
  And hearing more from you. Keep it up bro.
• 26:30
  All right, dude, nice talking to you.
