Whoa, dudes. Yesterday I interviewed former Skid Row frontman Sebastian Bach, and he was awesome. Really fun and happy to have a laugh, and he talked about Gilmore Girls, Axl Rose, the reality shows he's been on, Jermaine Jackson, his new record, and - perhaps most excitingly of all - we're starting a band called Fists Of Love.

The whole interview will be played tonight on RRR's I'd Rather Jack (ie: the cult - if by cult, you mean 'not all that many listeners but those who do tune in are usually slightly unbalanced, like the guy who rang in to say he'd fed his cat some meds and they were both enjoying the program...' - radio show I present) from midnight. You can listen, if you're in Melbourne, on 102.7FM, or you can stream it from rrr.org.au.

ANYWAYS.

The whole interview was magic as Sebastian and yours truly are both professionals (cough) but I can't be bothered transcribing it all, so after the jump you can have a little taste of it and then you'll have to tune in for the rest.

 

Jess: I saw this really great interview where you were talking about your latest album, but they brought up Gilmore Girls. Now a lot of people may not know but you appeared on the television show and you had a bit of a recurring role on there.

Sebastian: I was on there for five seasons!

Jess: Well, that's not a recurring role! They might as well have called it Sebastian Girls!

Sebastian: (laughs)

Jess: You should have had a chat to the producers. You would have been much more interesting than that Rory bird.

Sebastian: Everyone asks about that bit I did on there, when they made me sing...

Jess: ... Hollaback Girl!

Sebastian: (Sebastian sings Hollaback Girl)

And...

Jess: You're pretty much best friends with Axl Rose, aren't you?

Sebastian: Ummm, I'd say yeah, we're very good friends, and we text each other all the time - silly nonsense...

Jess: Does Axl ever say "LOL" in his texts?

Sebastian: (laughs) No.

Jess: Good man. I would have been quite concerned about that. So obviously you've heard all of Chinese Democracy, I'm assuming?

Sebastian: Yeah!

Jess: How is it? Is it good?

Sebastian: Epic! It's epic!

Jess: It'd want to be, by this point!

Sebastian: Yeah, it's very epic.

Jess: Does he mention in his texts when he's planning on releasing it?

Sebastian: Well I actually sing back up on the record on a song called 'Sorry', and sorry - but I don't know when it's coming out.

Jess: An appropriate song.
