10 Greatest Hard Rock Frontmen Of The '80s

10. Sebastian Bach - Skid Row

When Skid Row first started making waves on the New Jersey club scene, they couldn't get a handle on a frontman. While the songs of Dave Sabo and Rachel Bolan were pretty much bulletproof by that point, there was no one who really had the stage presence to bring the songs to the next level. Things may looked dismal in Jersey, but the real sonic force had to imported from up North.

Coming down from Canada, Sebastian Bach joined Skid Row and turned the band into an entirely different animal. Across the band's self-titled album, Bach ended up fitting like a glove as he belted out future classics like "18 and Life" and "Youth Gone Wild." Any band can get it done once, but Bach had the power to follow it up as well.

Going into the studio again, the band's Slave to the Grind album showed Bach getting even heavier, as if you were watching a hair metal band metamorphose into a full on metal act right before your eyes. Even when the band were on some strange bills, the no holds barred approach Bach had made them hold their own against heavier acts like Pantera and Alice in Chains. Even though Bach has graced the Broadway stage in shows like Rocky Horror as of late, he still has the same amped up energy he's had since the very beginning of his career.
