Sebastian Bach Spotted at LAX, Reflects on MTV VMA Love Triangle

Sebastian Bach, the iconic Canadian frontman of the 1980s rock band Skid Row, was recently spotted at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). The sighting comes as the rocker, known for his signature long hair and the band's hit song "Youth Gone Wild," continues his touring career.

Bach, whose distinctive "Youth Gone Wild" tattoo serves as a nod to his band's breakthrough single, discussed the tattoo's origins in a 2014 interview with Guitar International. He explained that he got the ink when the band was largely unknown, long before the song achieved multi-platinum success. Skid Row's notable hits also include "18 and Life" and "I Remember You."

In addition to his music career, Bach recently addressed an anecdote involving Christina Applegate and Brad Pitt. Applegate revealed in her memoir that she left the 1989 MTV Video Music Awards with Bach, despite attending the event with Pitt as her date. In a February interview with Billboard, Bach apologized if his past actions caused any hurt, acknowledging the whirlwind nature of early rock and roll fame.

"I was a single guy on tour, in a band, and I met a lot of girls and I apologize if I hurt her...If I hurt anybody," Bach told Billboard. "When you’re young you get thrown into the whirlwind of rock ‘n’ roll, meeting a lot of people and you better hold on tight. It was a long time ago. If I hurt anybody, I apologize for it."

Bach was spotted at LAX over the weekend

Bach is currently on tour, performing with Twisted Sister across the country. He shared insights into his enduring appearance in a 2016 GQ interview, humorously attributing his well-maintained long hair to a "Brazilian blowout."
