I guess I watch more MTV than you do. I'm a junkie for it.

Being a cover artist is not like being a real artist. That's just copying what someone else did.

I can't drink whiskey like I used to back then, that's for sure.

Metal is still the biggest music now in America.

There is no singing anymore, everything is yelling and shouting and rapping and that is real boring to a guy like me.

I've been solo since 1996, so I've been doing it for a while now.

So, it ended up being what you have there, seven songs brand new and ten live songs which is a good mix.

I do Skid Row every night.

Inside I never said I wanted to do theatre or be an actor.

I had to get out of my record deal that I signed with my previous band and get a full solo record deal going so, with all of the paperwork that, that entails it did take a while.

To think that when they come out with these gigantic songs, it's pretty tough to top them, you know.

I'm a TV junkie. I'm always flipping through channels.

Maybe one day I can have a reunion with myself.

It's too easy to do your own site to not have one these days. I guess everyone has one.

They don't have the edge that I need. I'm not interested in reliving 1988.

You know what I'm doing starting 1st November? Jesus Christ Superstar.

There's way easier ways to make money, let's just put it that way.

They have had such a crazy life living with me as their dad. Not crazy but different from their friends.

You have got to make new music, that is the way that I look at it anyway.

No, if it was up to me every record would be brand new studio material but Atlantic records asked me to put out a full live record because my tour really did do well last year.

I write my lyrics into the computer and I hum my music into the dictaphone.

I listen to music for emotion and I get zero emotion from rap.

Every single band in the world has these gigantic songs that people are obsessed with.

It is easy for me to go play a rock show, I have been doing that all my life and I love that.

Maybe if they start playing new rock bands videos, then maybe but there is no point in a guy like me spending 250 grand for a video that no one is ever going to see.

I got the whole band set up in the basement and we are jamming.

I guess I watch more MTV than you do. I'm a junkie for it.

Yes, but I have to say this: the band is going to decide where the band plays.

That's why it's called Sebastian Bach. I mean, it's a permanent band, pretty much, but if I jam with other people, it just makes a better album, I think.

My first band, Kid Wicked, we did half covers and half originals.

The way I look at a solo project is, I create what I want with whoever I want.

Kids don't go out and buy CDs, they make their own, they download them from the Internet.

Well, you know, if you do 200 shows a year, they're not all going to be like Castle Donnington.

I want to do something creative, not just easy.

Bret Michaels and Dee Snider and I know how to step on a stage and front a band, and we're not ashamed to. We're not shoe gazers.

I am the man who put the hair in hair metal.

I don't understand the mentality of a rock fan, being obsessed with two or three songs from 25 years ago. I'm not that kind of a fan.

I get noticed for different things I've done in different areas of town. If I'm in a rock club, it'll be Skid Row, if I'm in a mall it's the 'Gilmore Girls.'

I mean I've never been thrown in jail in New York or Los Angeles.

I never really knew what fine cuisine was when I was a little boy in Canada. For me, Italian food was 'Kraft Dinner' or pizza. When I moved to New York, that's when I discovered all the Italian food.

I still get crazy once in a while, but just less crazy.

I think if you can get to that point, exercising, when you really enjoy it, then you're pretty much set for life.

I think that the best rock n' roll is about the spirit of being young, the feeling of being 16 and getting crazy with your friends and going out to a show and just that whole feeling.

I would play with Guns n' Roses anytime.

I would say a must-do in Canada would be to go skiing at Whistler in Vancouver. You could take a chair lift for, like, a half hour to the top of this mountain, and you ski down; it takes like so long to get to the bottom. You go past the clouds. It's absolutely incredible.

I'm always working on new songs. With the technology these days, any idiot can record on Pro Tools on your laptop. All you have to do is plug a microphone into the input jack and anybody can have their own recording studio. So I'm always down in my basement, singing along to riffs or whoever I'm collaborating with.

I'm not interested in thinking up the name of a band and a logo and all that. Been there, done that, sold a million T-shirts.

It is incredible to me that my Twitter feed is a source of 'news' for every rock news outlet around the world.

It's weird, like, my life has always imitated art, and my art has always imitated life.
