(Classic Rock) Sebastian Bach has recalled one of his earliest experiences of being a rock star and it has all the trappings of 1980s Sunset Strip excess.His big night on the town saw him downing Quaaludes with Guns N' Roses bassist Duff McKagan, while Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich tried to take advantage of their wasted state by selling photo opportunities to passing fans.
Like many of the greatest stories in West Hollywood, events unfolded in the Rainbow Bar and Grill. Bach tells the New York Times of an evening that took place around 1989, soon after Skid Row had released their single Eighteen And Life. He'd hired a white Corvette and felt like the Pied Piper: "I walked from the Hyatt Riot House over to the Rainbow and by the time I got there, there were 300 people behind me going, 'Is that him? That's him!'" more on this story
