PS: Lots of GnR talks..
EDIT: There is now also a video! Where he talks a bit about Chinese Democracy!! Cool! http://www.kjendis.no/2008/06/02/536957.html
Sebastian Bach and his bandmates, guitarists "Metal" Mike Chlasciak and Johnny Chromatic, were at the offices of the Norwegian news web site Kjendis.no (a culture/entertainment sub-site of Dagbladet.no, Norway's second biggest newspaper) earlier today answering a number of questions submitted by the web site's readers. A couple of excerpts from the lengthy question-and-answer session follow.
Q: I've seen you wearing a SLAYER shirt, hanging with METALLICA and I understand you were pretty tight with the PANTERA guys. Have you ever considered doing anything more thrash metal-related?
Bach: I consider "Negative Light" off the new record my thrashiest song to date, written with Metal Mike and Steve DiGiorgio. I am writting songs with Jamey Jasta from HATEBREED, so look out for even heavier music in the future.
Q: Did the incident in Springfield December 1989 affect you as a person? Would you do the same thing today with jumping into the crowd and beat the shit out of a person who throws something at you?
Bach: Yes, it affected me as a person. I would never do something like that again. I would just leave the stage.
Q: What do you think of the current incarnation of SKID ROW, and specifically your replacement, Johnny Solinger? Do you keep in touch with any of your old mates in the band? With the current wave of metal reunions (PRIEST, MAIDEN, CRÃœE, POISON etc) there must surely just be a matter of time before the original SKID ROW lineup goes back on tour '” or what!? There's gotta be TONS of money to earn out there...
Bach: What do I think of the current incarnation of SKID ROW? I don't. Absolutely zero plans on reuniting. I think if you listen to "Angel Down" [Bach's new solo album] and their current music, you will realize that we have grown in different directions musically. I do not make music for money.
Q: Can you still get into the leather pants? I've broadened out quite a bit myself since them heydays, so believe me I'll understand if you can't.
I've been wondering this for a few years: your father's painting on the "Slave to the Grind" cover has been a favorite of mine for many years, I remember being quite struck by it when I first procured the tape back in '91 at the tender age of nine or ten. Do you have any idea if it is possible to pick up a print of that painting anywhere? I remember seeing a gigantic version on your living room wall (or some such) in some MTV interview years ago, though I'm imagining that would've probably been the original.
Bach: Yes [I can still get into the leather pants], every night. But, I have to go running like a crazy man for at least two months before I try to put them on. But running and exercise and drinking tons of water really seems to work. Beer doesn't!!! Damn!
I am very glad you love the "Slave" cover '” yes, the original hangs on my wall. We have talked about releasing high-quality lithographs of the piece with my dad's estate. Hopefully this will happen in the future.
Q: How was it touring with PANTERA in the '90s?? were they as crazy as they seemed to be?
Bach: We brought PANTERA on tour in American arenas when they had "Cowboys From Hell" out. They released "Vulgar Display Of Power" in the middle of our tour '” it was incredible to watch them explode before our very eyes. The toughest act to follow '” ever!
Q: Do you think Axl could be so stubborn that he won't release "Chinese Democracy" just because his is Axl? And since you probably have heard some/most of the new stuff, could it be compaired to "Use Your Illusion" in specter of diverse type songs?? And what is your favorite GN'R song of all time?
Bach: I don't think Axl is the person that is holding up the release... The music has been done for a long time and it's incredible, epic. He has over four albums of material finished... It's in the hands of the businessmen now. Favorite GN'R song of all time... Maybe "Civil War", "Rocket Queen", "My Michelle".
Q: I wanna get a straight answer directly from you about the whole thing with VELVET REVOLVER and you..I am tired of all the internet rumors about the whole thing. Have they contacted you lately?
Bach: I have talked to Slash recently about collaborating on music, but not VELVET REVOLVER. I cannot say what the details are, but Axl Rose has helped me and this band more then anyone eklse in the music industry. It would be very akward to sing in VELVET REVOLVER being such close friends with Axl. More importantly, I like "Angel Down" more than VELVET REVOLVER music.

I wonder if Slash wants Baz as a guest vocalist on his solo album?

Re: New Baz interview - mentions Axl, Slash and CD
They stated that the band will have a new name, didn't they? So Bach won't betray Axl if he joins another band. 
Anyway, Baz could be on Slash's solo album. BTW it's funny that Sebastian mentions 3 old GN'R songs as his favourites
Re: New Baz interview - mentions Axl, Slash and CD

He was a guest on Believe in Me - no reason to think he couldn't do a song. This is also another in the long line of hints that the space between Axl and Slash isn't as big as it was in the past.

Haha I noticed that, this incredible epic album yet it's still the oldies that make his favs. Having said that if he'd said his favourite GNR songs were Prostitute, Sorry and This I Love he'd have got flamed anyway

Re: New Baz interview - mentions Axl, Slash and CD
I think Baz is defiintely a person that will collaborate with many people so I am not surprised that he and Slash could possibly do something together.
Interesting to say the least. I would wonder if just collaborating on a project would get Axl upset or if Baz has even talked to him about it.
Re: New Baz interview - mentions Axl, Slash and CD
Axl has 4 albums worth of material finished?
Hmmm....... wait for it.... wait for it.......

So Slash talked to Bach about being the singer of "The Project V 2.0" then, not "Velevet Revolver".
It's semantics.
I agree with you too russtcb, money definitely figures into his equation otherwise he wouldn't have got so uptight about Angel Down sales figures and telling everyone to go buy it and not download it.
Personally I don't think money is a dirty word, you can say that sure you want to make music that you are proud of but you also want to turn a dollar out of it. Nothing wrong with that IMHO.
Re: New Baz interview - mentions Axl, Slash and CD

Yep. Been saying it since the Hammerstein shows(which led to my 08 reunion prediction)....
The moment Izzy walked onstage with Axl, it changed the dynamics of all the previous drama. Everyone has known since the original split that Izzy was the key to getting things moving again. Not that he would force the issue, but he was a huge part of the creative force, and also the bridge between both parties.
You factor in issues such as this, and its pretty obvious the bridge is no longer burning.
