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.
Dream Forever
Sebastian Bach Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't fell you anymore
Another day in front of me
Just lyin' on the floor
Thinkin' of thing things I could have been
Just before I close my eyes
Fall asleep to rid my mind
I don't wanna live forever
Stay Forever
Feel forevermore
I don't wanna dream forever
Wish forever
Be forever at all
What I want
No what I need
Can't get it either way
Sometimes I event forget to breathe
With nothin' left to say
Sittin' here by a midnight streetlight
I begin to close my eyes
Fall asleep to rid my mind
I close my eyes again
I don't wanna live forever
Stay Forever
Feel forevermore
I don't wanna dream forever
Wish forever
Be forever at all
Who really wants to live forever?
When your soul is dying alone
And all the days that pass don't matter
And all the people who care are gone
All I believe is what I see
Can't feel any your judgment?
I see myself running through a door
Leading me nowhere running fast
I spiral down doesn't mean a thing
A new day's already part of my past
Life is nowhere it's permanent
Can't so goodbye
And it's killing me inside
I don't wanna live forever
Stay Forever
Feel forevermore
I don't wanna dream forever
Wish forever
Be forever at all
The Sebastian Bach's song "Dream Forever" has deep and thought-provoking lyrics that address the uncertainties and insecurities we face in life. The song seems to be about feeling lost and hopeless, lamenting about missed opportunities and a lack of direction in life. The opening lyrics, "All I believe is what I see, can't feel you anymore" suggests that the singer has lost his faith and is disillusioned and unable to connect emotionally with others.
The lyrics "I don't wanna live forever, stay forever, feel forevermore, I don't wanna dream forever, wish forever, be forever at all" encapsulate the singer's ambivalence about living a long and unfulfilling life or being trapped in some kind of purgatory state forever. The line "Who really wants to live forever? When your soul is dying alone" is particularly poignant, as it speaks to the existential dread we all face at some point in our lives. The song ends on a note of despair as the singer realizes that life is transitory, and it's only a matter of time before everything fades away.
Overall, "Dream Forever" is a haunting meditation on the fleeting nature of life and the emotional toll that the quest for meaning can extract from us.
Line by Line Meaning
All I believe is what I see
I trust only what I see with my own eyes
Can't fell you anymore
I can no longer sense your presence
Another day in front of me
I face yet another day ahead
Just lyin' on the floor
I am lying down on the floor, doing nothing
Thinkin' of thing things I could have been
I am contemplating what I could have become
Just before I close my eyes
Right before I go to sleep
Fall asleep to rid my mind
I try to sleep to free my mind
I don't wanna live forever
I don't want to exist indefinitely
Stay Forever
Remain in a state of being forever
Feel forevermore
Experience feelings eternally
I don't wanna dream forever
I don't want to fantasize permanently
Wish forever
Desire for all time
Be forever at all
Exist forevermore
What I want
My desire
No what I need
My necessity
Can't get it either way
I am unable to obtain it by any means
Sometimes I event forget to breathe
On occasion, I even forget to inhale
With nothin' left to say
Having no words to express
Sittin' here by a midnight streetlight
I am sitting beside a streetlamp at midnight
I begin to close my eyes
I am about to shut my eyes
Who really wants to live forever?
Who truly desires everlasting life?
When your soul is dying alone
When your spirit is perishing in solitude
And all the days that pass don't matter
Days that go by have no significance
And all the people who care are gone
All those who care have vanished
Can't feel any your judgment?
Do I sense your condemnation?
I see myself running through a door
I envision myself running through an opening
Leading me nowhere running fast
Despite running quickly, it takes me nowhere
I spiral down doesn't mean a thing
I am spiralling, but it holds no significance
A new day's already part of my past
A new day has already come and gone
Life is nowhere it's permanent
Life has no permanence
Can't so goodbye
Hard to bid farewell
And it's killing me inside
It's tormenting me internally
Stay Forever
Remain in a state of being forever
Feel forevermore
Experience feelings eternally
I don't wanna dream forever
I don't want to fantasize permanently
Wish forever
Desire for all time
Be forever at all
Exist forevermore
