Old Skid Row frontman pleased with solo career By Victor Balta It's been one heck of a ride for Sebastian Bach. Nearly 18 years after he made a splash as the lead singer of Skid Row and released a debut album that would sell more than 5 million copies, he comes to the Everett Events Center on Sunday with a new band under his own name as an opener for Guns N' Roses - and he couldn't be happier about it. Bach, 38, said in a phone interview from a hotel room in Ames, Iowa, last week that he wants to use this tour to establish himself as a solo artist in the way that Ozzy Osbourne and David Lee Roth did after breaking their ties with the bands that made them famous. The hard-working Bach is not only opening every date on the Guns N' Roses North American tour, he's also sprinkling in his own headlining shows at smaller venues on some the tour's off nights, including a visit to the Big Easy in Spokane on Saturday night. Since he parted ways with Skid Row in the late 1990s, Bach has made his name on Broadway in productions of "Jesus Christ Superstar" and "Jekyll & Hyde," in a few VH-1 reality shows and on the TV series "Gilmore Girls." (He thinks Lorelai should absolutely be with Luke, by the way.) Now, he's playing arenas for the first time in more than a decade and loving it. "Doing rock 'n' roll, I'm the one in control of the stage," Bach said, comparing his music to Broadway. "If I'm doing 'Jesus Christ Superstar,' it's Andrew Lloyd Webber who's in control. With rock 'n' roll, I can go on anytime I want, or if I don't feel like singing the chorus, I'll tell the crowd, hey, you sing the chorus. I can always pick what feels right in my heart. "After doing rock for 15 years, to have something so disciplined (as theater) actually felt good. But after doing four of those (Broadway) shows, it starts to feel constricted, so I need to rock, dude." Fans who want the full experience won't want to miss the opener at this show as Bach rolls though classic Skid Row tunes, including "18 & Life," "I Remember You," "Monkey Business" and, of course, "Youth Gone Wild," while testing out a couple of new tunes, including a trademark power ballad, "By Your Side." They'll appear on Bach's solo album, "Angel Down," which has been recorded and should be released next year once his management settles on a record label deal.

I know that you are on the outs with Gilmore Girls, but I thought you might be able to help with something. In last week's episode, Lorelai wore a shirt with "Knit or Go Home" and a skull with crossed knitting needles on it. I need this shirt, and wondered if you knew of somewhere that I might be able to find out more about it. -- Christa M. Some bad news: I contacted the CW, and a spokeswoman told me the shirt was "a one-of-a-kind creation by the show's fabulous costume designer, Brenda Maben." It's not available in stores, so it looks like you'll have to make your own! Update: My friend Patrick C. just told me they're selling some decent knockoffs on CafePress.com. Update: It has come to my attention that the skull and knitting needle design originally appeared on Craftster.org. Leah Kramer has been selling items with the design since 2005 (her husband came up with it), and you can buy them here.

Karen, thanks for the SB info.

I so saw him in "Jesus Christ, Superstar" before I knew he was on GG. But that's my, "I've been in the same building as someone from GG" story... And he's a good JJ...

[Eternal Flame]

But that's my, "I've been in the same building as someone from GG" story...

at least you've been in the same room as a GG cast member... Consider yourself lucky Katie
and certainly a good JJ!!

I would, but as the MST jobs go, I´m not a mod here any longer.
Unfortunately I haven´t catched up on the episodes yet, because I was gone for the weekend, but I guess I will soon.

We finally hear from Amy...

Warning! The following article may cause more bitterness and anger towards this woman than what you already feel towards her.

Scoop! Gilmore Girls Creator Returns! She's baaack! Gilmore Girls' beloved, loquacious creator, Amy Sherman-Palladino, just got the green light from Fox to begin production on her new comedy, The Return of Jezebel James, and who did she call first? I'm not gonna toot my own horn, but if you read on, you'll figure it out for yourselves as I get the ousted genius to dish not only on her upcoming series but also on her former one. She isn't watching, but c'mon, AS-P simply wouldn't be AS-P if she didn't have something to say about it. Ausiello: How's unemployment? AS-P: It's fantastic! I'm so good at it! I never knew I had a talent for something like this! Ausiello: Well, it sounds like you're headed back to work. Tell me about the new show. AS-P: It's called The Return of Jezebel James, and it's basically a sister buddy comedy. It's about a very successful, very driven, very problem-solving kind of woman who's a young adult book publisher. She has her own imprint. And she decides to have a baby on her own and the doctor says, "Whoops, you're not going to be able to do that by yourself. Sorry, sweetheart!" And she winds up tracking down her younger, much-less-focused sister, who's the polar opposite of her. And she says to her, "I will cut you a deal and pay you to carry my baby for me. But you have to move in with me so that I can watch you and make sure it doesn't come out with three heads." And the younger sister, having very limited options, agrees, and that's where our series takes off. But the pilot is these two women reconnecting and cutting a deal. Ausiello: Is it an hour? AS-P: It's a half-hour multi-camera, baby! Ausiello: Wow. AS-P: "Oh my God, are you kidding?!?!" I'm returning to my roots. The weird thing is I started on Roseanne and I never thought I was going to be an hour-long writer. And then somewhere along the way, sitcoms started to be very bad, and very hard, and the process is very draining, and the opportunity to do Gilmore Girls kind of fell into my lap. For me it was returning to roots that I never thought I was going to leave in the first place. Ausiello: So Fox is ordering a pilot, right? AS-P: A pilot and, "Don't annoy us." That's the other order, which I already told them I can't fulfill. (Laughs) Ausiello: Have you started casting the show in your head? AS-P: I've been thinking about casting since I started writing this thing. Ausiello: Can you tell me your dream picks? AS-P: I don't wanna say because then if I don't get the dream the second dream will have become my first dream and then she'll know that I liked another dream and say, "You didn't like me first." And then all of a sudden everyone's dream is mad at each other's dream, and then all the dreams are broken. But these characters, much like what I ran into with Gilmore, really have to be able to do a lot of things. These are really tough-women parts. The older sister in the pilot has to be funny and strong and cry and flip out. There's a lot of ground covered in the 22 minutes of craziness I plan to put on the air. It's another search for Lauren Graham. What's nice to me about these girls as opposed to Lorelai and Rory is, Lorelai and Rory were so in sync with each other and that bond was so deeply engrained in them. These girls have no bond. (Laughs) These girls barely know each other's telephone numbers. Their lives are so separate and so different. They really are building a brand new relationship, which is kind of nice. Ausiello: Will Dan be involved? AS-P: I'm workin' on him. He's my partner in crime. Nothing's going to be as much fun, and, also, he's the best that there is. I'm not going to find anyone better than him to move forward with. He's avoiding me right now, but I am workin' on him. (Laughs) Ausiello: Now I have a few Gilmore Girls questions for ya. AS-P: (Adopting a Southern accent) Oh, honey, I got nothin' to say about Gilmore Girls. Ausiello: At least tell me if you've been watching it. AS-P: I have not been watching it. Ausiello: Not at all? AS-P: No. Couldn't do it. I think we actually talked about this in our ginormous 12-hour marathon interview with you [last April]. Ausiello: You did, and Dan said you guys were going to watch it. AS-P: He may've said that, but I'm a woman, honey. And women can fry up the bacon and bring it home in a pan. Here's the bottom line: If it was great I would feel horrible and want to throw myself off a building, and if it was not what I wanted it to be I would throw myself off a… either way I'd throw myself off a building. So there's no good outcome there. You know, I still have friends there. I keep in touch with the cast. I just felt like it's a new game and it's a new show. Good bad or indifferent, it's a whole new thing. Ausiello: Have you heard what they're doing story-wise? AS-P: I'm really disconnected. Is one of them possessed? Ausiello: Lorelai and Christopher are married. AS-P: Wasn't that on the cover of TV Guide? Ausiello: It was. We weren't very discreet about that. AS-P: You weren't very discreet at all. You just threw it right out there, baby. I still read Mike Ausiello. That I read. Ausiello: What was your reaction when you saw the cover? AS-P: Look, it's a new regime, it's a new world. There are plenty of people who were not thrilled with me last year, so maybe they're happier with the road that's being taken now. I had my own ideas about everything, because I am me and, to me, my world and everything around me is really all I give a s—t about. So I had my own plans for this year. I had my own plans for a second year. And for a finale. But that didn't happen. So they've got to go their own way. I have no contact with that staff. They've done it totally on their own. I wish them all well while I'm at the Century City Mall. (Laughs) Ausiello: If they asked you to come back for the finale, what would you say? AS-P: Because I don't know where they've gone or what they're doing, that's almost an impossible question for me to answer because, like I said, I have it in my head how I want it to end, but that may not at all jive with what they're doing now. I would say I don't really see how that would happen, because it would be so weird for me to go, "OK, these writers have set their paths, so I'll just do that." That ain't Amy. Amy can't follow someone else's path. Then she wouldn't be the delightful human being that she is. Ausiello: What if your ending will still made sense in the context of these new stories? AS-P: Well, if it still made sense, then it's definitely something we could talk about. I love that show. That show was my child. It was my everything. Dan and I did nothing but that show for six years. We're still staring at each other like, "What do we talk about now?" And I love the crew there. My best friend, Helen, still works over there. And I adore Lauren and Alexis. I love them. I miss them very, very much. I miss not seeing them and working with them. So I can't say that it wouldn't be fun as hell to go back there and hang with them for a while. I'm just not sure if that's really going to be possible. Our storylines were very meticulous. Dan and I crafted arcs to go way, way, way back — for good bad or indifferent. Whether you liked it or not, we really put a lot of time and energy into setting up very early what we could pay off at the end, and I'm not sure that would be such an easy thing to pull off. I won't say no, because it might happen. But I can't see it right now. Ausiello: Have you made peace with the way the whole thing ended? AS-P: All those suckers can bite my ass, ladies and gentleman. It's a business. I think they were wrong. (Laughs) I will always think that they were wrong to not sit down with us and figure out how this could work. The fact that there was no sit-down ever, no face-to-face with the studio or network to try and hash out what we needed and what we were asking for… that everybody just played it off like a negotiation… but that's Hollywood. That will always piss me off, because it's so frustrating that things get turned over to business affairs and then get reduced down to a strategy, as opposed to, "We've been in this for six years together. Can we sit down and talk about how we could make this work?" So, no. I'm still pissed off at something that was done to me in third grade. I'm very Russian in the, "You cross me and I take your picture off the wall once you defect and I don't know you anymore." It wasn't personal, it was just what [Warner Bros.] felt they had to do. I'll always be sad that I don't get to close out Gilmore, because it was my kid. But I've got a new kid now. I've got a new baby now. I've got someone else to annoy me and make my ass chair-shaped.

Thanks for bringing that over Katie

I really don't know how I feel now, but it really sounds like DSR is off on is own path and anything ASP had planned is out the window, whether that is a good thing only time will tell.
