Just because they are musicians doesn’t mean that all artists in the music industry necessarily enjoy all types of music. Joining Sobre La Dosis’ M3Q2, former Skid Row frontman Sebastian Bach recently revealed which type of music he isn’t a fan of, and as it seems, Bach likes the old-school vinyl sound.
Rock icon Mick Jagger loves all kinds of music — he likes to listen to pop and hip-hop and supports the young generation of musicians. However, this doesn’t mean this is the case for all rockers, especially if they have experienced the 1970s and ’80s when timeless artists defined rock music. Apparently, Sebastian Bach belongs to that group.
“I don’t like the way music these days is mastered,” Sebastian Bach said, implying he doesn’t like mainstream music in general. “I don’t like the way records sound these days, that is made from digital. I can easily tell what era it’s from when I put a vinyl record on at my house, what era it is from, because the ’70s albums are so big-sounding. They’re not compressed, they’re not little; they’re huge soundscapes.”
Bach then hinted he might have a surprise for the fans, saying, “I can’t really tell you what I want to tell you right now, but I will be able to soon. Anyways, the kind of music I like is albums that were made and mastered in the ’70s without compression and MP3. I’m more into the pure analog sound of old vinyl records. Wouldn’t it be great if I could release a record like that?”
So, as Sebastian is a fan of the analog sound of vinyl records, he doesn’t like today’s music and the way it’s mastered. According to Bach, the ’70s albums have a bigger sound than today’s records as they aren’t compressed. Although he avoided sharing any information with the fans, he may have plans to release a vinyl record.
