In the following video, courtesy of AXS TV, Sebastian Bach goes through his favorite records of all time and talks to Eric Young about the stories of why they are so important to him.
According to Baz, “I listen to music for diffferent reasons. If I’m running for a long – four or five miles, or something. I’m gonna want to listen to some metal to get me through that sh*t. But, if I’m driving on the tour bus to the next city, and I’ve just played metal for two hours, and I have to drive, like six hours, I’m listening to The Allman Brothers. Music hits me! Metal hits me, but then so does The Eagles, in a completely different way.”
In the video below, Sebastian Bach provides his insight of the creation of his album, Child Within The Man, looking at “Future Of Youth”:
Bach recently released the video for “Future Of Youth’ – the fifth from Child Within The Man – with special guest performer, singer, songwriter and guitarist, Orianthi. Watch the video for the musically explosive and lyrically unflinching single below.
“I am so excited to share this song and video with the world!,” says Bach. “This collaboration with my friend Orianthi began many years ago. The song ‘Future Of Youth’ has always been very listenable to my ears due to the musicians involved and also the unbeatable combination of Elvis Baskette and Robert Ludwig. The chorus is something I could hear on the radio.”
In tribute to the song’s title, “Future Of Youth” features the Las Vegas Academy Of The Arts Choir from BACH’s recently adopted hometown of Las Vegas.
“To have the Las Vegas Academy Of The Arts Choir perform and sing in the video makes my heart pound with emotion,” Bach says, “because I fell in love with singing in my own church choir many, many years ago. It has always been a dream of mine to have an actual choir in one of my rock videos—to have one of the top choirs in the country rock out in ‘Future of Youth’ is exactly what the message of the song is about. The Future of Youth belongs to the Youth and no one else!”
Child Within The Man was recorded in Orlando, Florida; produced and mixed by Elvis Baskette; engineered by Jef Moll, assistant engineered by Josh Saldate; and mastered by Robert Ludwig/Gateway Mastering. Bach wrote or co-wrote all the album’s 11 tracks and sang all lead and backing vocals. Child Within The Man features guest appearances from John 5, Steve Stevens, and Orianthi – who all co-wrote their respective tracks with Bach – and two tracks co-written with Myles Kennedy (“What Do I Got To Lose?” and “To Live Again’); Devin Bronson on guitars, Todd Kerns (bass) and Jeremy Coulson (drums) round out the players on the album.
The album is available on CD (Jewelcase), cassette and double LP in a variety of color options. The album artwork holds special meaning since it was designed by Bach’s father, noted visual artist David Bierk. “This album artwork was started in 1978 and finished in 2024!” Sebastian says.
