Sebastian Bach's Bio: Sebastian Bach was born Sebastian Philip Bierk in the Bahamas on April 3, 1968. Despite rumors to the contrary, his legal last name is still “Bierk”, not “Bach.”

Sebastian Bach has played in numerous unknown and short-lived bands (e.g. Herrenvolk, Madam X, V05 and Kid Wikkid), and received a demo from Skid Row in 1987. Skid Row signed for Atlantic Records and released their self-titled debut album in 1989.

Bach was the frontman in Skid Row until he was dismissed in 1995.

In 1996, Bach formed a rock supergroup, The Last Hard Men, with Frogs guitarist Jimmy Flemion, breeders lead guitarist Kelley Deal, and Smashing Pumpkins drummer Jimmy Chamberlin. The group recorded a full-length, self-titled album for Atlantic Records, who then optioned not to release it. In 1998, it was released on Kelley Deal’s label, Nice Records, with no fanfare and a very limited pressing of 1000 CDs, which may have been sold via mail order only.

On November 28, 2001 Sebastian appeared at New York Steel, a benefit concert in response to 9/11. He appeared early in the show, left to perform on Broadway, and returned at the end when all performers gathered for a final song.

In October 2002, Sebastian was signed to perform in the national touring production of Jesus Christ Superstar and played the role of Jesus successfully in the show until April 2003, when he was fired for alleged diva-like behavior. He is currently working on a DVD version of VH1’s Forever Wild that will be released in June.

Sometime in 2003, Sebastian tried out for Velvet Revolver before the band found Scott Weiland, but was turned down because, according to Slash, “We sounded like Skid Row!” Many fans of the band frequently express frustration that Bach was not selected because his vocal range would have allowed them to cover more GN’R songs during shows.

He has a role on the WB television show Gilmore Girls as Gil, the guitarist in Lane Kim’s band. The other members of the band, all teenagers, initially objected to his age, but he proved to be a talented guitarist and remained in the band.

In 2005, Bach cooperated with Henning Pauly to be the singer on the Frameshift album called An Absence of Empathy which has been released in April 2005.

As of recently, and assumably at present, he still performs with his band, Sebastian Bach and the Bach Five, formerly noted as Sebastian Bach and Friends, who live with him, his wife, and children…recently documented on VH1…in a show called “I Married…Sebastian Bach”, one of the “I Married…” series. Stars also included Dee Snider, of the rock band, Twisted Sister.

On May 12 and May 14, 2006 at Guns N’ Roses’ warm up show at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City, Sebastian joined Axl on stage for the song “My Michelle”. He joined Axl and gang for a third time the following night (May 15) to sing “My Michelle” once again. He also joined them for their Pre-Download Festival show in the Apollo Hammersmith, London, singing My Michelle. Rose introduced Bach by saying that the two had rekindled their friendship in the previous week after 13 years of not speaking. On June 4, 9th & 11th he again joined Rose on stage at the 2006 Gods of Metal Festival (Milan), Download Festival in RDS Dublin and in Donington, respectively. He also appeared on several other tour dates during GN’R’s European tour. On September 23, 2006, he joined Axl on stage once again at KROQ’s Inland Invasion festival in California for a rendition of “My Michelle”. … Read more
