Sebastian Bach Shares His Ultimatum To Skid Row To Ged Rid Of The Bon Jovi Deal
Skid Row’s collaboration with Bon Jovi, marked by an unconventional deal, has resurfaced in recent comments by Sebastian Bach. In an episode of Steve-O’s Wild Ride Podcast, Bach recounted the early stages of their journey to fame, revealing a unique arrangement that shaped the band’s trajectory.
“We signed a deal with [Jon Bon Jovi] and in order for us to sign it, he would take us on his tour. We were just a bunch of nobodies, so let’s go on tours in arenas, that doesn’t happen every day,” Bach explained about the initial deal.
When asked why they didn’t opt for a traditional record deal, he clarified, “To get on tour with Bon Jovi. That’s what it was.”
Bach revealed that as the implications of the deal became clear, he took a drastic step. “Nobody held me off the balcony, but all I can say about it is that there were so many bands at that time, and the ones that made it were very far and few between. Making it was like a unicorn. I quit the f*cking band when I understood what we signed; I said, ‘I’m not doing this again.’”
To salvage the situation, Bach presented an ultimatum during a meeting with their lawyer, Michael Guido, stating, “I’m quitting unless we’re redoing the whole thing with Bon Jovi and I get 25% of everything in the band.” Despite the audacious demand, it was accepted, leading to the renegotiation and eventual success of the band.
“So we had a big meeting with the lawyer Michael Guido, who’s now like Jay-Z’s right-hand business guy, he was our lawyer then. I said ‘I’m quitting unless we’re redoing the whole thing with Bon Jovi and I get 25% of everything in the band.’ And there’s five guys in the band, so that was kind of ballsy. But they said, ‘Okay.’ So we redid that. We got out of that, and then our next record debuted at number one,” Bach revealed, highlighting the impactful move that altered Skid Row’s course.
