Following the news that Sebastian Bach will front Twisted Sister for a series of shows in the fall, the former Skid Row singer says he received a seal of approval from longtime Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider.
Along with Twisted Sister’s Jay Jay French and Eddie Ojeda, Bach spoke with SiriusXM’s Eddie Trunk about the band’s plans, as well as a conversation that he had with Snider, who recently resigned from Twisted Sister due to health challenges.

Bach began, “I said [to Snider], ‘I’m calling you in 10 minutes.’ He goes, ‘Okay.’ And I called him and he goes, “SMF number two,” because he’s always called me that. I’m a sick motherfucker, I’m a sick motherfucking fan of Twisted Sister. And he’s always called me number two. Of course, he’s number one. And so I go, ‘Well, I guess I really am SMF number two.’ I am. And then I asked him, ‘What did the doctor say to him,’ and he’s like, ‘No problem, I’ll tell you.’ He says that he has arthritis, that his bone, his knees are going out, and he has like bone on bone. And the doctor said that he should not be jumping around, and he goes, ‘Well, that’s not an option,’ and because, you know, he wants to do the full show moving around and stuff, and the doctor said, “You can’t do it.’”

The singer continued, “So, he said, ‘You have my full blessing.’ He goes, ‘I love you.’ I told him I loved him. And we were like teary-eyed. And he told me that his family was crying when he said he couldn’t do the tour. And, now that Twisted Sister will carry on. You know, I asked him, ‘You want to come out and jam with us?’ He goes, ‘Yeah.’ He goes, ‘Yeah.’ So, so, you know, maybe he’ll be at some of these gigs on stage with us, you know, who knows? You know, I don’t know if that’s going to happen or not, but you know, it’s tough getting older. It’s tough. It’s tough for everybody getting older. And I’m a lot younger.”
