Synopsis

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 twenty 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, & 18 & 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 Picture 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, Aerosmith, Motley Crue, Soundgarden, 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.

Goodreads review by Eric on November 07, 2017

Wow! Another memoir of sex, drugs, and rock n roll. For me in my humble opinion, this fell flat. It was incoherent at times and just so self absorbed which you would think when your reading an autobiography you would expect it to be all about the author and you would be correct, but it reeks of self......more

Goodreads review by Sami on November 24, 2017

Oh, how I enjoyed reading this book! Took me back to my metal loving teen years (and still a huge fan to this day!), when Skid Row was definitely the main soundtrack to my life. I really loved the stories that Sebastian shared with his readers, although at times would have enjoyed a bit more detail.......more
