Talking to Talkin’ Rock with Meltdown Sebastiaan Bach revelaed that he has tons of unreleashed Skid Row material in his posessions, but he doubts if it will ever see the light of day.
“I have unreleased 24-track reel to reel tapes from Electric Ladyland (studios) of songs that we recorded and never put out,” Bach says, “and the only copy of them is in my archives.”
“We recorded every show on the “Slave to the Grind” tour from the soundboard on DAT (digital audio tape),” Bach revealed. “Nobody had a DAT player except me and nobody wanted these tapes except me. And I have the whole tour on DAT. I have a box of all those DAT tapes that are just sitting there.”
“I would like someday to do the whole box set treatment for the first Skid Row record and “Slave to the Grind” and even “Subhuman Race”,” the singer said.
However, the possibility of such a release seems faint due to the band’s ongoing feud with their former frontman: “Don’t hold your breath, because everybody’s mad and angry about whatever happened in ‘96. Whenever they want to get over that, give me a call. Because I’m the guy who has the archives”, the singer said.
“I mean I could go over and put all that on YouTube this afternoon, if I felt like it. But I just sit around, waiting, collecting dust on the box, waiting. Someday, maybe we’ll put this out.”
