Former
SKID ROW singer
Sebastian Bach has posted the following message on his
Facebook page:
"Just had dinner with
Rob Affuso, the original drummer of
SKID ROW! Great times catching up with my longtime buddy! Could there be a special jam this evening [at
Bach's solo concert] in Poughkeepsie? Hmmm, we shall see ;)"
Bach recently tweeted that he wanted his fans to stop asking him about a possible reunion with his former bandmates after
SKID ROW bassist
Rachel Bolan made it clear that the group has "never looked back" following
Sebastian's dismissal from the band in 1996.
Speaking to
Adam Hammer of
SCTimes.com,
Bolan stated about
Sebastian's departure from
SKID ROW, "We thought we were disbanded and that we'd never do it again. Then we kept getting emails and the management office was getting lots of letters about people wanting to see
SKID ROW on stage and we really started to miss it. We knew if we got back together, we were going to do things different."
He added, "When [current
SKID ROW singer]
Johnny [
Solinger] joined the band [in 1999], that really gave us a kick in the ass. It was a different guy there and everything that came out of that guy was positive."
On the topic of the persistent rumors of a reunion with
Sebastian,
Bolan said, "Actually, there were never any talks. Ever. That was all just total rumor. We got rid of him in the '90s and never looked back. . . After the first tour [with
Solinger on vocals], it seemed like this is the way it's always been. It's so weird, I'll hear an old song on the radio and it just sounds so bizarre to me because I'm so used to
Johnny singing it."
After
Bolan's comments were posted on
BLABBERMOUTH.NET,
Bach tweeted the following in response to the article, "If this makes even one of you stop asking me 'when are you getting the band back together' then good. IT'S NOT HAPPENING."
Sebastian previously shot down the possibility of a
SKID ROW reunion with him on vocals at this past February's press conference in Los Angeles to announce the details of the third annual
Revolver Golden Gods awards show. He said, "No [I am not interested in a reunion], because I don't base my life in 2011 on, like, 30 years ago. And I also... I was kicked out of that band. Like, if you worked at Pizza Hut and you got fired, would you be knocking on the door of the Pizza Hut, 'Please let me back in!!' You'd be, like, 'Fuck Pizza Hut! Fuck you!' I'd be, like, 'Fuck you! You wanna fucking kick me out? Go fuck yourself!' [Laughs] I'm always perplexed by that. You don't want me to sing in your band? Kiss my fucking ass! Don't hurt yourself finding someone that can. [Laughs]"
