There was a time, even post-Skid Row, when Sebastian Bach was still a pretty endearing character. His various stints as a talking head on VH1 talk shows made the former hair metal singer seem rather charming. His “mother trucker” shout, complete with metal horns, was a particular fave.

Unfortunately, now that Bach has been out of the limelight for quite a while, it just seems tragic and a little sad.
For that, Bach fails.
