Skid Row由前Bon Jovi乐队的吉它手Dave "Snake" Sabo一手创建,是90年代垃圾摇滚(Grunge)进入流行风潮前最后一支长发摇滚(Hair Metal)乐队。成立初期只是为一些知名的摇滚乐队暖场,包括曾担任过Bon Jovi乐队美国巡演的暖场乐队等。待时机成熟后,Skid Row 在重金属最红火的 1989 年推出了首张流行重金属风格的同名专辑,在这张专辑中,有一首描写青少年犯罪问题的“18 And Lives”被后世传为经典,成为乐队的代表作。专辑一炮打响,仅在美国的销量便超过 500 万张。而在此后的巡演中,凭借帅气的长相和十足的金属个性,主唱Bach迅速成为大批乐迷和媒体的宠儿。
乐队在 1991 年推出了第 2 张专辑《Slave To The Grind》成功驾驭了 Trash Metal 这种难度极大的音乐风格。Bach 逼近极限高音发挥的可谓淋漓尽致,使这支年轻的乐队显得非常老练。虽然专辑的商业味并不浓,但还是迅速地登上了 Billboard 专辑榜的榜首。1995 年,Skid Row 出版第 3 张专辑《Subhuman Race》,但这次成绩让人失望。专辑的销量明显低与前两张。此后的 Skid Row 矛盾四起,主唱 Bach 与其他成员矛盾加剧,最终离开乐队。之后,Bach组建了新的乐队Sebastian Bach and Friends。 并在 1999 年推出个人专辑《Bring 'Em Bach Alive》,可以说,到目前为止,在Skid Row乐队的那段经历仍然是Bach生命中最亮的时候,在这之后,每当他在舞台上唱起Skid Row的那些经典老歌,都有无数歌迷为之动容。
Sebastian Bach首张个人专辑发行日期敲定在今年底11月20日, 由EMI全球发行。该唱片中Sebastian Bach参与了专辑中9首歌的创作,Roy Z任制作人,这张《Angel Down 》的专辑封面挑选加拿大艺术家David Bierk 于90年完成的遗作《David Watching》,完全符合Sebastian Bach一贯的性格。在这张专辑中,Guns N' Roses(枪炮玫瑰)乐队的主唱Axl Rose也将参与到这张唱片的录制工作,Axl Rose与Sebastian Bach在这张专辑中合作了三首歌曲,这也是两位90年代的重金属乐队神话般主唱的第一次合作,据悉这次合作本都是Sebastian Bach与Axl Rose的一个电话玩笑,但最终这个玩笑却促使了两位90年代最牛的金属主唱的合作,而且两位高音都极具穿透力的主唱将会给我们带来新一轮惊喜般的复古重金属风暴。

歌词
By Your Side
So long my dear departed
where did you go
I can't believe you're gone and
the lights go out so slow
the precious time we spent
my fondest memories
I'll hold on to the promise
That You Made To me
Refrao
You know i'll never let you go
You know i'll never hurt so bad
And if It takes a thousand Years
I will be right there By Your Side
You know I'll never hurt so much
When I lost you I was blind
And everytime I catch me with tears
You are right there by my side
I Feel you when you're watching from afar
To Young to leave me standing
I wonder where you are
The precious time we spent
my fondest memories
I'll hold on to the promise
That You Made To Me
You know i'll never let you go
You know i'll never hurt so bad
And if It takes a thousand Years
I will be right there By Your Side
You know I'll never hurt so much
When I lost you I was blind
And everytime I catch me with tears
You are right there by my side
I stare into his eyes and then I see your face
A dying love inside
a love you can't replace
You're looking down with pride
And let me show what I Can tell
To young to leave me standing
I wonder where you are
You know i'll never let you go
You know i'll never hurt so bad
And if It takes a thousand Years
I will be right there By Your Side
You know I'll never hurt so much
When I lost you I was blind
And everytime I catch me with tears
You are right there by my side
