The book is described as:

18 And Life On Skid Row tells the story of a boy who spent his childhood moving from Freeport, Bahamas to California and finally to Canada and who at the age of eight discovered the gift that would change his life.

Throughout his career, Sebastian Bach has sold over 20 million records, both as the lead singer of Skid Row and as a solo artist. He is particularly known for the hit singles I Remember You, Youth Gone Wild and 18 And Life, and the albums Skid Row and Slave To The Grind, which became the first-ever hard rock album to debut at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 and landed him on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine. Bach then went on to become the first rock star to grace the Broadway stage, with starring roles in Jekyll & Hyde, Jesus Christ Superstar and The Rocky Horror Show. He also appeared for seven seasons on the hit television show The Gilmore Girls.

In his memoir, Bach recounts lurid tales of excess and debauchery as he toured the world with Bon Jovi, Aerosmih, Motley Crue, Soungarden, Pantera, Nine Inch Nails and Guns N’ Roses. Filled with backstage photos from his own personal collection, 18 And Life On Skid Row is the story of hitting it big at a young age, and of a band that broke up in its prime. It is the story of a man who achieved his wildest dreams, only to lose his family, and then his home. It is a story of perseverance, of wine, women and song and a man who has made his life on the road and always will. 18 And Life On Skid Row is not your ordinary rock memoir, because Sebastian Bach is not your ordinary rock star.”

GUITARIST JOE PERRY TRAVELS TO JAPAN FOR CLASSIC ROCK AWARDS, AEROSMITH CO-FOUNDING MEMBER TO RECEIVE LES PAUL AWARD AT 32ND ANNUAL NAMM TEC AWARDS

Aerosmith co-founding member and rock icon Joe Perry took time off from his work with Aerosmith and the Hollywood Vampires to be on hand last week (November 11th) as the Classic Rock Awards 2016 made their debut in Tokyo, Japan.

“I’ve been a fan of Classic Rock Magazine for many years and appreciate what they do for our music, and I thought it would great to be part of an event as big as this,” Joe Perry says. “I literally just finished a six-week Aerosmith tour in South America and I didn’t even have to unpack my bags. When I heard Jeff, Jimmy and Johnny and Cheap Trick were going to be there as well as bunch of my other friends, I couldn’t resist and had to go. It was a party from the minute I landed to the time I left.”

Perry and his Hollywood Vampires bandmate Johnny Depp joined a cast of rock icons who were on hand for the show. Perry and Depp performed a five-song set, accompanied by the all-star band honoree Jeff Beck had assembled for the night (details below) on Stop Messin’ Around, Come Together, Train Kept A Rollin’, As Bad As I Am, and Sweet Emotion.

Jeff Beck was given the highest honors on the night and he assembled his own special band of musicians for the event. The all-star cast featured brothers Dean and Robert DeLeo of Stone Temple Pilots on guitar and bass, guitarist Tommy Henriksen, of US-based supergroup Hollywood Vampires, and Korn drummer Ray Luzier.

The star-studded line-up also included Perry’s longtime friend Jimmy Page, Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine, Scorpions guitarist Rudolf Schenker, Def Leppard’s Joe Elliott and Phil Collen, Cheap Trick, Richie Sambora, Orianthi and X Japan drummer Yoshiki, among others.

“Even though Aerosmith is considered Classic Rock, Jimmy and Jeff were and still are pioneers,” Joe adds. “They have been an influence on my playing and have helped to create the foundation for what we now call Classic Rock. To count them as friends is a great thing.”

Up next for Perry is a show with The Hollywood Vampires, Sammy Hagar and Korn at Alice Cooper’s 15th Annual Christmas Pudding show Saturday, December 3rd in Phoenix, AZ. Proceeds from the event directly benefit Alice Cooper’s Solid Rock Teen Center. Additional details can be found here. The new year will see the legendary guitarist finishing up some solo projects and working with Steven on some new Aerosmith material.

Meanwhile, early next year, the NAMM Foundation will honor Perry with the prestigious Les Paul Award at a January 21st ceremony in Anaheim, CA as part of the 2017 NAMM TEC Awards. The annual award is given on behalf of the Les Paul Foundation and honors individuals that have set the highest standards of excellence in the creative application of recording technology in the spirit of the famed audio pioneer, inventor and musician, Les Paul. Perry–who was included in Rolling Stone’s list of “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time”–is also scheduled to perform live before an audience of pro audio and sound production inventors, musicians and industry friends.

“Anytime my name is mentioned in the same sentence as Les Paul, it’s a huge honor,” says Perry. “Getting an award bearing his name is the icing on the cake.”

EDDIE TRUNK ASKS FOO FIGHTERS DRUMMER TAYLOR HAWKINS IF HE WOULD EVER CONSIDER DRUMMING FOR RUSH AFTER NEIL PEART RETIRES, HIS RESPONSE: “YOU KNOW HOW MANY F-KING DORKS WOULD WANNA KICK MY ASS?”

With Neil Peart likely hanging it up for good with Rush and Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson still interested in playing, there has been the question of whether or not the band will continue and if so, what would the lineup be. During a recent appearance on SiriusXM’s Trunk Nation, Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins was asked if he might be interested in the position if called upon, and he offered a rather humorous response.

“Dude, I’d get f–king crucified man,” responded Hawkins to Trunk’s query. “You know how many f–king dorks would wanna kick my ass if I tried to be in Rush? It’d be like a nation of dorks chasing me and trying to kill me. YOU’RE NOT NEIL PEART!!! DON’T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!!!”

Hawkins and his Foo Fighters cohort Dave Grohl inducted Rush into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame a few years back and even joined the power trio onstage for performances of some of their standout tracks, but Hawkins appears quite happy to enjoy Rush as a fan rather than potentially stepping into a role behind the kit, even if it was hypothetical. Plus, the drummer already has a pretty good job with Foo Fighters that allows him to occasionally step out and do his own music as well.

Before Foo Fighters fire things up again in 2017, Hawkins is getting in a new solo disc titled K.O.T.A. During his appearance on Trunk’s show, he revealed that the title stands for “King of the A–holes.” You can pick up a copy of the six-song K.O.T.A. mini-album over at Hawkins’ website.
