Sebastian Bach kicked off a tour celebrating the 30th anniversary of SKID ROW's self-titled debut album Thursday night (August 29) at the Cannery Ballroom in Nashville, Tennessee. Bach opened the 15-song set with "Tornado" — the LP's final track — and "Forever" before the singer performed the rest of "Skid Row" in order. As an encore, Sebastian played two songs from SKID ROW's 1991 album "Slave To The Grind": the title track and "Monkey Business". Setlist: 01. Tornado 02. Forever 03. Big Guns 04. Sweet Little Sister 05. Can't Stand The Heartache 06. Piece Of Me 07. 18 And Life 08. Rattlesnake Shake 09. Youth Gone Wild 10. Here I Am 11. Makin' A Mess 12. I Remember You 13. Midnight Encore: 14. Slave To The Grind 15. Monkey Business In June, Bach issued an "open invitation" to the other members of SKID ROW's classic lineup to "get onstage and jam" during the vocalist's current tour. Drummer Rob Affuso — who left SKID ROW in 1998 and claims to be "the only former member that keeps in contact with all former SKID ROW bandmates and is still good friends with them all" — subsequently responded to Bach on Facebook, writing, "Sure! I'll be there dude." A few days later, during an interview with Finland's Kaaos TV, guitarist Dave "Snake" Sabo confirmed that he would not accept Bach's latest overture. "I'm working with my band," he said. "This is SKID ROW, and this is what I do." Asked by Rolling Stone if he thinks his former bandmates are offended that he put his invitation out there publicly, Bach said: "No. I think it's an ego thing. They don't like when I get attention, and they don't get attention. It's always been like that. I can already see them getting mad, because I'm selling out shows, and they're not part of the show, and blah, blah, blah."
