Hi Vincent,

Thank you for your interest in my participation in the album.  I am interested in knowing how you came to find out about me.  I had no idea that information was availble.

To answer your question, yes, I am on the track "This I Love".  That is the only one I did.  I actually did not meet Axl until well after I did the session.

Please let me know how you found out about me.

Thank you so much.

All the best,
Patti

I'm not sure if I should say anything else about this song with respect to Axl and his wishes.  I can tell you that I did the session 2 years ago!

Also, this is really the only song I've heard.

As of yet, I don't have my CD's fully recorded, however I will have something on the myspace account soon.  I'll certainly let you know when it's ready.

As far as Axl goes, I believe he can be different in every situation. I had an extremely wonderful meeting and impression of him.  But I know we really connected through his music and my arrangement.  And yes, he is very down to earth. I really don't know when I will see him again. Hopefully, one day soon.

I won't be touring as of yet, but I will let you know any news of this.

I heard the music on There Was A Time.  I believe that Axl wants this one to be perfectly amazing.

I never met Bucket.

I can hope and pray to play with Axl live.

Take care,
Patti

Bach to the future

SEBASTIAN Bach is pretty good-humoured about the fact that he spends most interviews talking about Axl Rose, rather than himself.

It's to be expected, really, given that the notoriously reclusive Guns N' Roses singer has broken a recording drought to sing guest vocals on Bach's new solo album Angel Down.

So Bach is ready - tongue firmly in cheek - for a barrage of questions about his new collaborator.

"It's a very amazing historic record," Bach says earnestly. "Everyone's been waiting for the return of one of the world's greatest rock singers - and now I'm back . . . oh, and I also got Axl Rose too."

He then falls about laughing, clearly amused up by his own joke. That's the odd thing. Bach and Rose seem a strange match.

The former Skid Row frontman is a jovial party animal, who has happily starred in a string of reality TV shows from SuperGroup to Celebrity Rap Superstar, while Rose is famous for a) being reclusive and b) having a "feud" with just about every person he's ever met - from Tommy Hilfiger to all the original members of Guns N' Roses.

But for some reason, the pair clicked when Rose texted Bach out of the blue in May last year, while both were in New York. The message read simply: "Hey Bas, it's Axl, are you still around New York City? Do you wanna hang out?"

Bach remembers: "I thought, 'Who's pretending to be Axl?' so I pressed 'call sender' and it was him. It was shocking."

Although Rose has said his text ended a 13-year silence, Bach denies there was a rift.

"There was no rift between me and him," he says. "There was a rift between Axl and the whole planet. He just went away for a long time."

At the time Rose had emerged from seclusion to tour with a re-formed Guns N' Roses (he was the only original member). Bach joined them on stage to sing My Michelle and ended up joining the world tour, playing in Australia earlier this year.

On the road, Rose agreed to record some tracks for Bach's solo album, hitting the studio in August to lay down vocals for lead single (Love is) a Bitchslap; Stuck Inside and the Aerosmith cover Back in the Saddle.

It was a case of returning a favour, Bach says, revealing he recorded backing vocals in January for a track called Sorry, slated to appear on Rose's Chinese Democracy album.

"And sorry, I don't know when it's coming out," he volunteers. (For those who don't know, Rose's Chinese Democracy album has acquired the mythical status of a unicorn in that it's often spoken off but has yet to be sighted. It is possibly one of the most anticipated rock albums in history as it's been 16 years since Rose recorded an album of new material).

Bach, on the other hand has rarely been out of the spotlight since bursting on the world stage in 1989, when his band Skid Row's debut album went five times platinum in the US.

Since then he's been unafraid to try his hand at virtually anything. He's taken the lead in four Broadway musicals, he's played an ageing rocker in teen-drama The Gilmore Girls and more recently Bach forged a career on reality TV.

"I made it as a rock star at 19 years old, so I don't really have anything to prove to anybody but myself," he says of his appearances on car-crash reality shows like MTV's Celebrity Rap Superstar (in which he was beaten earlier this month by Kevin Federline's ex, Shar Jackson, and Girls of the Playboy Mansion star Kendra Wilkinson).

Asked why he agreed to such appearances he says simply "cash". But his recent move to establish his own record label has prompted a new motto: "less TV more CDs".

Bach's new album was seven years in the making and has been earning some pretty glowing reviews, including a slightly premature one from music site undercover.com which declares Angel Down "the metal album of the year, if not the 21st century". As well as the collaborations with Rose, the album includes a co-write with hitmaker Desmond Child (Dude (Looks Like a Lady), Livin' on a Prayer; You Give Love a Bad Name).

There are plans to tour the album in Australia next year, although no dates have been nailed down.
