It was a nice, warm night in Melbourne (25 September) 13 degrees celsius. Well, warm for Melbourne.
The alleyways around the Forum Theatre were littered with Aussie, heavy metal chicks and blokes for a sell-out show — Sebastian Bach's sell-out show.

Bach knows how to entertain. With much anticipation, Skid Row's ex-headman (still is in most people's hearts) hit the stage and smashed into the metallic 'Slave To The Grind'. Two, solo pieces followed and then back into the Skid Row material for the rest of the night, dotted by a few covers.
It was full tilt from the get-go all the way to the end. The crowd loved every moment of it. From his vocals to his quirky character, Sebastian Bach is a class act. It’s a no brainer why he’s still going strong after 25 years.
