Bach and Bon Jovi Friends Again
Sebastian Bach settled his differences with Jon Bon Jovi when they met in a restaurant while the ex Skid Row singer was dining with Axl Rose.
The accidental crossing of paths put paid to years of acrimony after Bach became upset that Bon Jovi – who was instrumental in getting Skid Row together – was taking a cut of their income.
He later realised they’d almost certainly never have made it without him.
Bach tells ArtScenics (via Blabbermouth): “Bon Jovi took us on our first tour and we signed some papers with him. He got a cut – if we made it big, he would get compensated for helping us out.
“So I was bitter about that for a while. But then I realised we probably wouldn’t have made it as big, or at all, if he didn’t take us.”
The opportunity to settle their differences arose a few years ago, long after Bach had split with Skid Row – although he recently said only one original band member was standing in the way of a reunion, a claim the band denies.
The singer, who earlier this month sacked guitarist and collaborator Nick Sterling, continues: “I had dinner with Jon. We were staying in London, me and Axl, and the waitress says, ‘Hey, guess who’s over in the corner? Jon Bon Jovi.’
“I go, ‘Get the fuck out of here!’ I didn’t know what to do, because we’d had words – most of them were mine. So I go, ‘Fuck this. I’m going to say hi to him.’ We used to be great, great friends. I had Christmas dinner at his house and stuff. READ MORE
