Summary

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.

    The book provides a deep understanding of the challenges faced when being in a band with Sebastian. It becomes evident that he has a strong admiration for himself, as he barely acknowledges the contributions of other band members or his wife, except to complain about them using his songs without paying royalties. The focus of the book is primarily on Sebastian's encounters with iconic figures, with him being on the outskirts rather than fully immersed. There are numerous mediocre anecdotes about a foolish individual indulging in excessive drinking and drug use, resulting in predicaments that he attributes to the influence of rock gods. In conclusion, the book is overall enjoyable but can be frustrating at times.

    This audiobook was a bit self-indulgent, but it kept me entertained. I enjoyed listening to his background story and his ties to Hollywood. Plus, it even convinced me to start watching the Gilmore Girls, a show I hadn't seen before.

    As a true fan, I thoroughly enjoyed "18 and Life on Skid Row." It was an absolute delight, filled with captivating anecdotes. I'm glad I opted for the audio version as it included fantastic bonus content. Sebastian's narration was brimming with vibrant personality and infectious energy, making it the perfect choice for me.

    As a teenager growing up in the 80s who was a huge fan of Skid Row, Motley Crue, and Guns N' Roses, this book took me on a nostalgic journey back to a time in rock music that can never be replicated. If you enjoyed "Oh Say Can You Scream," you'll feel that same electric energy from Sebastian Bach in the audiobook. There were many stories that I had never heard before. Sebastian Bach takes responsibility for his past actions, although it seems like about 40% personal growth, 60% self-interest, but still true to who he is. He's the ultimate rock star, larger than life, and unapologetic. He openly admits to outrageous behavior that should make you condemn him, but he's always maintained that innocent look and genuine fan connection that makes you want to forgive him for anything. You can also appreciate his strong work ethic; he's a hard worker and a hustler, seemingly defying all odds. I love that the book serves as a plea to reunite the original Skid Row lineup. It would be amazing to see a reunion of what I believe was an incredibly underrated hard rock band made up of talented musicians. Overall, if you're a fan of Sebastian Bach, Skid Row, or 80s/90s rock, this book is a must-read. Highly recommended.

    It was a real challenge to get through this one. Sebastian Bach's vocal prowess is undeniably impressive, and it's clear that he takes his music seriously. However, it's hard to ignore the fact that Bach doesn't exactly come off as a decent person.

    This audiobook was really disappointing. This guy has a talent for ruining anything good that comes his way. Who would enjoy listening to this moron yell his way through a book? Definitely not me. It's such a shame that I wasted my hard-earned money on this. I can guarantee you that he won't be getting another penny from me.

    There were some really authentic and unfiltered moments throughout the book. I particularly enjoyed reading about his early years and the experiences he had during his time with Skid Row, partying with fellow musicians. However, there was one strange and out-of-place story about random sexual encounters that seemed more like a bragging moment. I found it odd that he never delved into the nature of his relationship with his wife, especially considering his numerous affairs with other women. There were also some gaps in the narrative when it came to the breakup of Skid Row. It made me wonder why he had his own bus and if he had any inkling of what was happening. Another aspect that puzzled me was the intense animosity the other band members harbored towards him. Additionally, his divorce was briefly mentioned without any details about why it happened or why he felt he lost custody of his children. Overall, the book had its moments of honesty and was quite engaging. However, there were certain unanswered questions that lingered in my mind as I read or listened to it.
