Sebastian Bach Reportedly Saves Axl Rose From Knife Attack

Posted on Feb 16th 2010 1:00PM by Chris Harris Comments
Sebastian Bach and AxlAccording to the New York Post, former Skid Row frontman Sebastian Bach came to the rescue of longtime pal, Guns N' Roses leader Axl Rose, during a surprise performance by Rose and his band in New York on Sunday. The paper claims that Bach tackled a man with a knife at the intimate club gig.

The mystery man casually pulled out what appeared to be a switchblade knife as he walked into the crowded Nur Khan's Rose Bar Sessions at the Gramercy Park Hotel. But Bach, who was standing near the door, immediately got the stranger thrown out of the bash, which was attended by a host of stars, including actor Mickey Rourke.

One witness told the paper that the knife-wielding man "walked in while Guns N' Roses was onstage and pulled out a knife and flicked the blade out. Sebastian, who was standing on a banquette said, 'Nobody is getting anywhere near my man Axl Rose with a knife,' and went after him. Security then immediately threw him out. The man appeared to be drunk. It was dealt with so quickly that none of the other guests or the band were aware of it."

Guns N' Roses performed for about two hours for 150 guests, ending the set at 3 AM before moving the party upstairs with a group of model and rocker friends until 6 in the morning. A representative for the Rose Bar declined to comment on the story for the Post.

Hey Guitar kid, Then I guess your saying Van Halen pretty much sucked too, I guess Eddie Van Halen wasn't voted best guitar player for years and he also does not have classical training right?, Once again please don't write a check your ass can't cash. And what about Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Stevie Ray Vaughn, and Michael Schenker to name just a FEW!, No my misinformed friend it is the here and now that truly sucks balls.

The bottom Line ?? If this was some kind of C-rap ,homie the clown, pants around yo'ass party, Axl probably would of been shot ,along with alot of other people. It warms my heart to know , Hard core rock guys still prefer to use a knife in an altercation. Its all good.

He just walked in the door. I'm sorry, but how do they know he was targeting Axl Rose???? (or, anyone, for that matter) Maybe he was just being stupid.

I have my degree in Classical guitar. I have also been studying Flamenco for the last few years. I have some knowledge of what real guitar music is, and it ain't Def Leppard. Pick up a Pepe Romero or Maria Zemantauski CD and you will see what a real guitar player sounds like. I love Guns and Roses but the rest of the eighties pretty much sucked balls.

Sebitching and company is just making this up so he can stay on tour with the Axel foley err I mean Axl Rose band since NO ONE wants to take him and his Diva attitude out on tour. If you notice if Axl ain't touring neither is Sebitchin. So Seb stop making stuff up and remember METAL SLUDGE RULES and you and your Kid both suck at playing and writing your own music
