May The Rock Be With You conducted an interview with former SKID ROW singer Sebastian Bach during his recent Australian tour.

On his plans for the rest of 2015:

“I have to finish my book. It’s a boring answer, but that’s what I have to do. I’m on a deadline. I’m also on a deadline for my next record. So I have to do a book and a record.”

On why he changed his mind about making a new studio so soon after 2014’s “Give ‘Em Hell“:

“I have a manager. His name is Rick Sales. And the reason you have a manager is to help you with your career and guide you. And he said, ‘Dude, you have to do a new record now. It’s a great timing.’ I feel like I’ve done a lot of records; that’s the way I feel. But I trust Rick’s judgment; he knows what he’s doing. And he said, ‘You’re putting out a book. If you put out a record at the same time as the book, this is good for your career. This is a good plan.” So I’m following his advice. To me, it seems crazy to do all of that at once, but I’m lucky — I’m fucking lucky — to be doing this.”

On his social media presence:

“I look at my social media as a rock magazine. That’s the way I look at it. When I was a kid, I would buy Creem and Circus, Kerrang!… a long time ago. That’s how we got our information decades ago. So when I look at my web sites, I want it to feel like that, like Circus, ’cause that doesn’t exist. So I try to make it look kind of like that and feel like that, and block fucking assholes, which is, you know, boring. I spend a lot of time blocking people. [Laughs] ‘You look like a girl?’ ‘Dude, come up with some new fucking material. You don’t think I’ve fucking heard that? You think that hurts me? That I look like a…? Wow! There is an original putdown. Fuck! You really went all out coming up with that one. ‘You look like a girl.’ Block! I know I do! Everybody knows it! Fuck! It’s been like that forever. It’s true. It’s, like, I know I look like a girl. I used to get told that in the playground. So you’re not telling me anything I don’t know.”
