Imagine a rock legend's story, a tale that could have changed music history. Sebastian Bach, the iconic voice of Skid Row, reveals a secret that has fans buzzing: he was offered a spot in the legendary band Mötley Crüe over three decades ago!
In a recent interview, Bach reminisced about the time he almost joined forces with the Crüe. He shared how he rehearsed with the band and was even asked to join by Nikki Sixx, the bassist, right there in front of everyone. But here's where it gets controversial...
Bach explained that despite the offer and subsequent discussions with management, it never came to fruition due to label restrictions. He emphasized, "I definitely rehearsed with them, and there's proof! An MTV interview where they confirm it."
When asked about his thoughts on the matter, Bach remained humble, praising Vince Neil and his resilience. "I'm a fan of their music, always will be. Vince is the singer, and he's a true survivor."
This revelation comes after a long-standing debate between Bach and Sixx, dating back to 2013. Bach initially made the claim via a tweet, which Sixx quickly denied. Bach then provided more details, describing a full-day rehearsal and a generous offer from Nikki. He even drove to the rehearsal with Tommy Lee!
Bach promised to reveal more in his upcoming autobiography, "18 And Life On Skid Row," leaving fans eager for the full story.
But here's the twist: Nikki Sixx responded to Bach's online rant with a cryptic tweet, suggesting it was all for attention.
In a 1994 interview, Sixx shared how they ended up with John Corabi, stating, "We wanted to see how it felt with a different singer. We tried it on for size, and it was magic."
So, was Bach's claim just a ploy for book sales, or is there more to this story? What do you think? Share your thoughts in the comments!
