"I was once in a band called VO5, five guys with the biggest hair. We did cover tunes, alot of Motley stuff. One night Nikki and Tommy came down and they were so cool, they were really into it.

"One of the worst things I have to go through is being a complete asshole to fans when they come to my door. Unfortunately, they don't understand. I didn't understand when I was 15 either. I'm a very recognizable guy, I'm always getting noticed because I'm so tall. It's great and I love it, it's a great compliment. But when I'm home and in the yard tryin to catch some rays or I'm writing a song on my front porch...................
I remember getting a knock on the door Christmas Day, It's a guy form Pennsylvania who always follows me around, with around 400 things for me to autograph, I go 'Get out of my house right now!' I hate to do that. One time I'm sound asleep and I hear this guy yelling, 'I love you!,' and I go out there in my underware and there's this 28 year old drunk guy going, 'I love you, man your my f*@kin' favorite!'  We had a beer, and I said, "Okay, that's cool, but mellow out!' "

wanna be around for it...(road life                                was to music what Pop Tarts were to

allowed to get drunk"                                                                     in the morning"

                                        "There's no doubt that there's alot of luck
                                          involved, but luck dosen't happen if there
                                          aren't the goods underneath it all. It's a very
                                            fickle buissness. People's perceptions and
                                            likes and dislikes are ever changing. You
                                            got to be yourselves. Don't follow trends,
                                             set them"

Congratulations to Sebastian Bach, who married his long time girlfriend Maria Aquiar at his home in New Jersey. The wedding was attened by close friends and family, including members of the band. Says the extremely outspoken frontman, "Boning, being on of my favorite pastimes, has become a Russian Roulette of the 90's. This being a fact, I think it is desirable to find someone loving and kinky enough to satisfy my desire so that you never get bored with each other....." The happy couple have a four year old son, Paris Beirk.  (SCREAMER/ JAN.93)
 
 

"I was told, 'You cant' tell anybody you have a son. People will think you the Mr Rogers of rock.' I go are you serious? So I had to live a lie. It would tear me in half. No I see all the bullshit and the facade of the music industry that treats its listners like cattle, insults their intelligence. I can make my own decisions and I not gonna hide something I'm so proud of. I had my son on the road and I had to have him go in another entrance to the hotel to avoid people seeing me with him. I got in some serious fights with some people over that. I hate that, trying to put one over on the public. I'm not gonna be some fake guy-- this is me. I play music hard and I have a son.
 

    While the most devastating earthquake in more then 20 years thrashed Los Angeles on the morning of Jan. 17, Baz and wife Maria were busy on the other coast delivering their second son.
    The night before, Baz did some shaking of his own: He crused over to New York's Limelight with his bud Rob Halford from Fight. "It was the first time I had left the house in a week," Bach told the Chain Gang
    They were in the middle of "Devil's Child" with Rob's band when the cellular phone rang. Baz quickly jammed back over the Hudson river to meet Maria in Red Bank, NJ
    "Weighing in at six pounds five ounces, London Siddhartha Halford Bach made his debut apperance on planet earth in January 17, 1994 at 5:25am," Bach announced. "He rocks!"
