SEBASTIAN BACH: “in 2023 rock and roll lacks fun”
20-12-2023
Former SKID ROW singer Sebastian Bach spoke to Gold Derby‘s Denton Davidson about his recently released single “What Do I Got To Lose?” The song was co-written by Sebastian, Myles Kennedy (ALTER BRIDGE, SLASH) and Michael “Elvis” Baskette (MAMMOTH WVH, SLASH), the latter of whom also served as the track’s producer.
Bach said: “‘What Do I Got To Lose?’ I wrote with Myles Kennedy from Slash‘s band and from ALTER BRIDGE. It was produced by Elvis Baskette, who has produced all of Wolfgang Van Halen‘s records. I couldn’t be more proud of it; I just couldn’t be more proud of it.
“This song is fun,” he continued. “And when I look around rock and roll in 2023, I think there’s a lack of fun. Everybody’s, ‘This guy said this about this guy. This guy said this about that.’ It’s just clickbait and negativity that I could see. There’s not a lot of fun, positive, good-time rock. And this song is fun, fist-in-the-air party-time rock in the tradition of DEF LEPPARD‘s ‘Pour Some Sugar On Me’. That’s what this song reminds me of. It’s that much fun. And I couldn’t be more proud of it.”
Bach released the new solo single, “What Do I Got To Lose?” earlier this month. The song’s official music video, was directed by Jim Louvau and Tony Aguilera. For the video, SEBASTIAN is joined by his former SKID ROW bandmate, drummer Rob Affuso.

“To me, ‘What Do I Got To Lose?’ is the perfect sentiment for me right now,” SEBASTIAN laughs. “It’s an anthem for coming back and crushing it. It’s time to lay down the law and put the hammer down old school-style.”For the release of ‘What Do I Got To Lose?’ the singer, songwriter, author, Broadway star, and actor teamed up with Reigning Phoenix Music. It marks SEBASTIAN‘s first new music in ten years.“I cannot express enough how happy I am to have a full and complete team of rock and roll professionals on my side with RPM,” SEBASTIAN adds. “We have been working on this record together for over eight years and I could not be more proud of the results! Gerardo, Oscar, Sven and all at RPM share in the passion of rock ‘n’ roll and together we look forward to kicking ass all over the world in 2024!”“Everyone at RPM is extremely excited to work with SEBASTIAN BACH,” says RPM‘s Gerardo Martinez. “He’s one of the most iconic personalities, and arguably one of the best lead singers in the history of hard rock and metal!”
On the US front, SEBASTIAN was just revealed to the world as “Tiki” on Fox‘s »The Masked Singer« group B finals. “When I first agreed to be on the show, I thought it was mostly about comedy and costumes, which it definitely is!” SEBASTIAN says about his time on »The Masked Singer.« “But when I actually did the show, I realized that »The Masked Singer« is about SINGING! I had an incredible time doing the show. My favorite song that I got to do was ‘Magic’ by PILOT. Thank you to Nick Cannon and all at »The Masked Singer«! Would love to do it again sometime!”
