In 1996, Bach formed a rock supergroup, the Last Hard Men, with Frogs guitarist Jimmy Flemion, The Breeders lead guitarist Kelley Deal, and The 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".
On July 30, 2006, Bach filled in for an ailing Axl Rose for “Nightrain” and the encore “Paradise City".
Bach starred with Ted Nugent, Evan Seinfeld, Jason Bonham and Scott Ian on the VH1 show "SuperGroup" as of May 2006. The musicians formed a band called Damnocracy for the reality show, during which they lived in a mansion in Las Vegas for twelve days and created music. During the show, he became particularly close to Ted Nugent, whom he looked to as a father figure. This was acknowledged several times on the show. He also appears to have developed good relationships with Evan Seinfeld. However, at a November 5 2006 Guns N' Roses concert in Huntington, West Virginia, Bach referred to a SuperGroup episode where he promised Ted he would quit drinking, and claimed that he had lied. He then went on to say, "Fuck Ted Nugent. He can go skin fucking baby seals in Canada, but I can't enjoy an American Budweiser? Fucking Ted Nugent!" and again at a December 4 show in Winnipeg, Manitoba stating, "You know how I promised Ted Nugent that I'd quit drinking? I fucking lied! He can go skin fucking baby seals, but I can't enjoy a fucking Labbatt's Blue?".Sebastian also said during the dec.7th show in Edmoton alberta "Us canadians like to have a drink once in a while right? Remember that one episode of super group where i stopped drinking? I LIED!" Bach had previously said that he had taken offense with disparaging comments Nugent had made about Dimebag Darrell.
In August 2006, Bach appeared in the upcoming seventh season of Trailer Park Boys. He is played himself and the part of a model railroad enthusiast, who happens to love da green! He has since appeared in several episodes of the 8th season as well, again playing himself in search of the best high!
On 13 September 2006, during a show at Selinas in Sydney, Bach stormed off stage during the encore. After two earlier similar incidents, Bach had warned the crowd that the throwing of any more plastic bottles and/or cans onto the stage would lead to him walking off. As the encore began (Youth Gone Wild), Bach was hit by a plastic cup, threw down the mic and left the stage.
On September 28, 2006, he appeared on Celebrity Duets singing with Hal Sparks. Bach later was on the road with Guns N' Roses, touring around the world until late 2006.
In 2007 he released the album 'Angel Down', which he worked on for the past seven years. The album contains a mix of rock and metal.

Sebastian Bach Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got my fist in the air
Checkin' out of the rat race
& I really don't care
I got a knock-down draggin' out fight in my mind
Attitude's a kick in the face
I'm just havin' a good time
Don't ask what the truth is
& I won't tell you no lies
'Cause love can be a BitchSlap, honey
A bleedin' heart in disguise
Livin' in the stratosphere
Ain't always cloud nine
I don't even know if
It's what I was hopin' to find
I got a knock-down draggin' out fight in my mind
Attitude's a kick in the face
Gettin' out of my mind,
I'm gettin' out of my mind
Don't ask what the truth is
& I won't tell you no lies
'Cause love can be a BitchSlap, honey
A bleedin' heart in disguise
Tryin' hard to push me one step over the line
I got the weight of the world on my back
I'll leave it all behind
Don't ask what the truth is
& I won't tell you no lies
'Cause love can be a BitchSlap, honey
A bleedin' heart in disguise
Tryin' hard to fuck me one step over the line
I got the weight of the world on my back
I'll leave it all
I'll leave it all behind
In "A Bitchslap," Sebastian Bach sings about the struggles and realities of life, especially when it comes to love. He starts by describing the feeling of freedom he experiences as he rolls down the avenue with his fist in the air, having checked out of the rat race and not caring. He then goes on to talk about the fight he has in his mind and how his attitude is a kick in the face, but he's just having a good time. Bach also talks about the deceptive nature of love, how it can be a Bitchslap disguised as a bleeding heart, and how it's not always what one hopes to find when living in the stratosphere (cloud nine).
Throughout the song, Bach talks about the weight of the world on his back and how he's trying hard not to be pushed over the line. He's fighting against those who want to bring him down, and he's willing to leave it all behind to do so. The song's message is one of empowerment and resilience in the face of life's struggles, and Bach's vocals and guitar riffs perfectly capture the raw emotion of the lyrics.

Rollin' down the avenue
I am driving down the street
I got my fist in the air
I am pumped up and ready for action
Checkin' out of the rat race
I am no longer part of the mundane, boring life
& I really don't care
I am unbothered by what anyone else thinks
I got a knock-down draggin' out fight in my mind
I am struggling with internal conflict
Attitude's a kick in the face
My attitude is intense and impactful
I'm just havin' a good time
I am enjoying myself
Don't ask what the truth is
I won't reveal the truth
& I won't tell you no lies
But I also won't tell you any lies
'Cause love can be a BitchSlap, honey
Love can be harsh and painful
A bleedin' heart in disguise
It might seem like I am being tough, but really I am hurting inside
Livin' in the stratosphere
I am living a flashy and extravagant lifestyle
Ain't always cloud nine
But it's not always as great as it may seem
I don't even know if
I am not sure
It's what I was hopin' to find
If this is what I truly wanted
Gettin' out of my mind,
I am losing control
Tryin' hard to push me one step over the line
Someone is trying to make me lose it
I got the weight of the world on my back
I am carrying a heavy burden
I'll leave it all behind
But I will leave it all behind and move forward
Don't ask what the truth is
Once again, I won't reveal the truth
& I won't tell you no lies
Or any lies, for that matter
'Cause love can be a BitchSlap, honey
Love can still hurt
A bleedin' heart in disguise
I may seem tough, but my heart is still bleeding
Tryin' hard to fuck me one step over the line
Someone is actively trying to harm me
I'll leave it all
But I am still going to leave it all behind
I'll leave it all behind
I am determined to move forward despite everything
