In a recent interview with TMZ, Dee Snider talked about how Skid Row has hesitated to get back together with singer Sebastian Bach, even though fans have urged the band to reunite with its original lineup after thirty years. Snider set one condition for the reunion. He explained:
“Sebastian’s a very intense dude, and I love him, but just like my band, Twisted Sister, they came to hate me, and they wanted nothing to do with me. And I changed. I had an epiphany — I went through a lot of stuff in the ’90s and 2000s, and I’m a different person than I was back in the ’80s. I was a real a-hole back then. And so the band has reunited with me and we are friends.”
So, is it happening? Apparently not. Snider continued:
“Until people just sort of get over themselves — all parties — it’s never gonna happen. It’s never gonna happen.”
Dave Sabo Doesn’t Think A Reunion Is Likely
Sebastian Bach was Skid Row’s lead singer from 1987 to 1996. After finishing the Slave to the Grind tour in February 1993 in Australia, Skid Row took a long break. Three years later, Bach was fired from the band.
Last month, Sabo chatted with The Hook Rocks and revealed that he didn’t think a reunion with Bach is possible. He explained why:
“We’ve been just ripped apart by ex-members of the band and stuff — ripped apart. Some really sh*tty stuff [has been] said about all of us. And we just choose not to [respond]. It’s not who I am. It’s not who we are. We won’t go down that road. We just wanna play music and be happy. This has really never been about a monetary aspect of things because it’s known that we’ve been offered a good amount of money to do shows together and to reunite [with Sebastian] and whatever, but it’s just never been about the money, man. I choose my happiness, my willingness to continue to be a really good friend to my best friends and a really good husband and a really good dad and bandmate and person. And I don’t wanna endanger that in any way. So the people that we choose to play with, those choices are made in order to keep those particular things in line for all of us.”
