SEBASTIAN BOTCHED!
A ‘Glorious mess’ ‘Beautiful shitshow-aganza’ and ‘Corey Feldman’s birthday party’ reviewer describes BACH wedding bash
VICE — When news broke last month that ex-Skid Row howler Sebastian Bach would be offering fans an opportunity to attend his San Jose wedding to model Suzanne Le for the shocking price of $300 a head, the press had a field day. How could they not? Aside from the fact that it’s generally fun to kick an aging hair metal guy around, the event danced on the knife’s edge between kinda sad (fluffing the attendance of a traditionally friends-and-family event with paying rubes) and wildly egotistical (expecting those seat-fillers to pay handsomely for the honor). The whole thing had an air of “pay $250 to go to Corey Feldman’s birthday party.”

METAL SLUDGE implores you to read on. The VICE article is long and full of tons of details, that every hairband fan must read.
Especially if you’re a fan of SKID ROW and SEBASTIAN BACH.

What would this extravaganza actually entail? Who were these famous friends? What kind of entertainment does $175 buy at a celebrity wedding reception? My attempts to get free press tickets from the venue fizzled. On the night before the event—miraculously, still not sold out—I decided to spring for the cover price.
Paying out of pocket was the right call. I’m not a monster; I’d never waltz into a couple’s wedding reception as an invited guest and start reviewing the joint. But as a guy who bought a ticket for a night of entertainment, I think I’m entitled to an opinion.
And my opinion is this: Sebastian Bach’s $175 wedding reception certainly did not rise to the level of “extravaganza.” At best, it was an adequaganza, until it veered sharply into the territory of “beautiful shitshow-aganza.”
