Bach leaves a message to the South American fans!

[Pinball Wizard]

From his facebook:



Hello from Brasilia Brasil ! It is so hot & beautiful here it's like paradise. I love the snow but man it feels incredible to get a suntan & go swimming & be outside in the heat, coming from Europe to

Canada to Brasil lets me know yet again how lucky we all are to do this & what a great life this is ! None of this could be possible without all of your support & we can't thank you enough for bringing us to

South America!
Tonight's the first show & we are very excited ! Trying now to decide whether to open with 'Slave' or 'Saddle', depending on set time we may do "In A Darkened Room" this tour as well due to all the

requests I am getting for that track. I love the song too. Every country is different & since we have never been to Uruguay, Peru, or Chile, we may do some older tracks that have never been perfomed

live in those countries.
Which brings me to the subject of playing Chile for the first time. After the devastating earthquake that just happened there, I really can't beleive we are playing Chile. It's going to be exciting playing

rock music for a country that could probably use some good old escapism right now. I wish I knew how to help in some way with charity efforts in Chile, maybe I should ask Sean Penn about that , he

sure knows how to help out, as evidenced by what he is doing in Haiti right now. I feel totally honoured & humbled by performing in Chile, we are gonna give you the greatest show we can because you

sure deserve some good times right now!! Thanks to all of South America for your support & let's have some fun tonight BRASILIA !!! See ya onstage in a couple of hours !!!

I really hope he decides to go with this - I want to hear it live, even if it's only on YouTube. I adore that song!

Nice. He clearly wants to do something special for you all down there.........particularly the Chileans. That's so cool.

I've just been reading about the first show over at myGNR forum and I still think it's SUCH a shame that (whoever) doesn't let him play longer in his set, especially when they had to wait until after midnight for GNR. Shame Axl doesn't have the same attitude Sebastian does. JMO.

[ember]

I've just been reading the GNR have changed venue and dates for the show in Argentina, the date changing from the 20th to the 22nd. The 22nd is when they were supposed to be performing in Chile, which they are now saying has been cancelled!!

I know a lot is probably going on down in Chile after the earthquake but I'm with Sebastian in thinking the escapism of a great rock concert would have been a blessed relief for some from all the misery they might be going through. So it seems a real shame to me if it has been cancelled altogether.

Have any of you fans from South America heard anything more about this....... or anyone else?

[AussieGirl]

That is sad they cancelled, I agree maybe a concert could have brought a little joy to such a horrible time for them all...

AND A MESSAGE OF THANKS!!!:

Sebastian Bach I am extremely happy to report that last night in Sao Paulo was absolutley one of the biggest, most important shows of my whole 25 year career so far. We played to approx 60,000 people last night in Sao Paulo with Guns N' Roses. I have played to (slightly) more people a couple of times , but never had a crowd respon...se as vociferous , passionate & heartfelt as the concert last night. It was a very very importAnt night for me, for one heavy reason.
Sao Paulo Brazil was the very last concert the Original Skid Row ever played.
Fact is, Sao Paulo is the city where I have played my worst ever show... & 14 years later, last nite, quite possibly my best ever show. That's showbiz!
The last Skid Row show was in 1996, with Mercyful Fate, Biohazard, Motorhead, & Iron Maiden. Needless to say, it was not the bill for us ..& the crowd let us know it. Driving to the show last nite I was filled with trepidation , not knowing what to expect after the 1996 show. I was not prepared in any way for the reception we received last night.
I have played Wembley Stadium. Giants Stadium. Tokyo Dome. Skydome. Carrier Dome. Tacoma Dome. Lenin Stadium. I can honestly say last nights show kicked ass over all of those . No question. For those of you out there clinging to nostalgia, asking me ' when is the old band getting back together' ad nauseum, I'm telling you, that ain't gonna happen. Last nights show was the culmination of 14 years of me being a solo artist & trying to establish my band in it's own right. Last nights show really showed us that our band , plainly put, fucking rules. To play the same city where the old band died & the new band took over is all I need . The fact is , my new band plays better. With 'angel down' & the new songs I am working on with Nick Sterling & John 5, we Have our own material that is goin over just as well as the old songs. Fact.
Last night was the perfect show for us... & the crowd let us now it.
From the bottom of our hearts, we cannot thAnk you enough Sao Paulo, & Brasil , for your unbeleivable support. You have erased a bad memory in my head & replaced it with making my dreams come true. Ti amo. Obrigado !!!
Your friend for life
Tiao
Sebastian

Sebastian Bach March 28 2010 Bogota Columbia Something fascinating is going on in rock. Just as rock is ceasing to exist in cetain formats, ie the CD, rock video, rock radio & magazines all but disappearing, Rock N' Roll itself is growing exponentially in other areas; for this band, playing live concerts is becoming an overwhelming ,... incredible, mind blowing situation that is making all of our dreams come true. I am talking about the tour we are on right now, with Guns N' Roses in South America. In all my 25 years of touring , this tour ranks right up there with the biggest & best tours I have ever been a part of, or seen other bands do . The amount of people we are playing to each night is simply staggering. No show has had less than 35,000 people in attendance, & we have played to crowds of over 60,000 people a night in Sao Paulo, Buenos Aires, & Lima as well. The other shows have averaged around 45,000 tickets sold each night. The reception of the crowds has been the most insane, loud, passionate display of love for Rock N' Roll I have been a part of in my whole life. Ever since I posted about the Sao Paulo show it seems like each subsequent crowd has been out to prove that they are the most kick-ass rock crowd on the planet! Porto Alegre was the next show after Sao Paulo & was off the chain. It was the last show in Brazil & about 40,000 of you in Porto Alegre let us know we better be coming back to Brasil real soon! We have already got offers to come back to South America soon so hey we're on the case! Montevideo Uruguay was next & after we were greeted at the airport & hotel by hundreds of fans, we were honoured to play the Biggest Ever Rock Concert in the history of the country of Uruguay. The promoter told us that Van Halen played here in the early eighties to around 10,000 people & were the first ever rock band to play Uruguay.Thanks to them, 30 years later we get to pack out the stadium for around 50,000 people & the show was incredible! Had a great time running on the beach in Uruguay & we can't wait to come back there! Next up was Santiago Chile & we filmed this show with 5 cameras, Pro-Shot, for future release. The feeling of energy from the city that was just pummeled by the biggest earthquake in the history of all time was palpable. You just can't imagine 40,000 people going more nuts or jamming into an arena so packed. The show was complete mayhem from the opening chords of 'Slave To The Grind'. This show will be coming out someday & I can't wait for the world to see how the country of Chile kicks total ass & how rock n' roll means so much to a country ravaged by natural disaster. I said in Spanish on the stage , 'Tonight the only earthquake in the this town is called ROCK 'N' ROLL' & I swear the reaction from the crowd registered on the Richter Scale for sure. Bach in Chile, comin your way to Blu-Ray ASAP ! CHILE ROCKS !!! We can't wait to get Bach to Chile as soon as possible !!! Next up was Buenos Aires Argentina, a country where we had played more than once with the old band, but never to more than 5,000 people a show. This year, we played to around 60,000 people in Buenos Aires & when we went on stage it looked like the whole town was in the stadium. We tore it up with an 1.5 hour full headline set & without a doubt kicked the ass of Argentina like never before. Went out with Axl Rose & Guns N' Roses to some clubs after the gig, then ended up staggering out of Axl's hotel the next day around 12 noon! Good times had by all! Till the next day that is, ouch!! On to Lima Peru! Had an insanely georgeous beach run on the shores of Lima, trailed by security the whole way , no matter how hard I tried to lose 'em! These guys were good! Felt totally safe & protected the whole time we were in Peru due to these huge guys in combat gear surrounding us at all times, it was hard not to! Then we played the Biggest Rock Concert EVER in the history of the country of Peru. Around 60,000 + people jammed the stadium & again it was like playing to the whole city. I've played this size crowd a couple of times before, but NEVER to this reception. Every word of every song, every hand in the air, 'Angel Down' songs standing their ground next to the old classics, it's all good in 2010. The internet is not all bad. It is quite obvious countries like Peru & Chile are getting into this music from the internet..... & absolutley hilarious that major label record companies take bands like mine for granted, while we pack out stadiums every night!! Their loss for sure! We are going into the studio in April to start on our next CD, & we have the awesome knowledge that millions of fans around the world are waiting to crank the CD as soon as we put it out. This tour from November 'till now has meant so much to us. Next show is Bogota & we can't wait to play Columbia for the first time. We were asked to play Venezuela but unfortunately could not procure Government Visas in time. So we have had 4 days off in Bogota, which has been interesting! We tried to go out for dinner at the Hard Rock Bogota, but around 1000 fans were told we were gonna be there, which made eating dinner impossible! So we went to an authentic Columbian restaurant that was a great experience. Been running in Bogota & hope to see some historical sites today & tomorrow. Then we play the biggest venue in Bogota on Tuesday, see at Parque Jamie Duque! We are hoping to announce more shows! Can't say anything yet, but watch this space for the latest news! If we are done after Bogota, it's straight into the studio to start the next CD. We are all ready to make some new music for you !! Thanks Europe Canada USA & South America for the greatest tour of our careers, we cannot thank you enough! See ya Tuesday night BOGOTA !!!!See More
