Sebastian Bach Plays Skid Row’s ‘Slave To The Grind’ Album Front-To-Back In Melbourne (Video)

Former Skid Row frontman Sebastian Bach treated Australian fans to a rare and aggressive spectacle earlier this week, dedicating the bulk of his headlining set to a full performance of the band’s landmark sophomore album.

Taking over the Forum Theatre in Melbourne on Monday, November 24, Bach led his solo band through Skid Row’s 1991 classic Slave To The Grind in its entirety. The performance highlighted the heavier direction of that era, featuring deeper cuts like “Mudkicker” and “Creepshow” alongside staples like “Monkey Business.”

For this run, Bach is backed by a lineup featuring bassist Fede Delfino, guitarist “Bruiser“ Brody DeRozie, and his own son, Paris Bach, handling drum duties.

While the night centered on the classic album, Bach opened the show with his recent solo single “What Do I Got To Lose?” and sprinkled the set with tributes to his influences. The set included covers of Kiss, Black Sabbath, and Ozzy Osbourne, as well as a nod to Australian rock legends Rose Tattoo during the encore with a rendition of “We Can’t Be Beaten.”

Fan-filmed footage from the evening has since surfaced, showcasing the vocalist’s enduring energy. Bach continues his tour across Australia this week before returning to the United States for a run of dates stretching into late 2026.
