Description

Dive into the untold stories behind Skid Row's legendary music videos as Sebastian Bach and director Wayne Isham reveal how visuals shaped rock history. In this episode of The Artist's View, Sebastian Bach sits down with renowned director Wayne Isham to explore the making of iconic Skid Row videos like "18 and Life," "Youth Gone Wild," and "I Remember You." Discover how music videos, not radio, fueled the band's meteoric rise, dictating what got airplay and leaving a lasting imprint on rock culture. Hear first-hand accounts of creative risks, behind-the-scenes antics (including Jack Daniels-fueled shoots), and the collaborative process that birthed these gritty, unforgettable visuals. Wayne and Sebastian discuss the evolution of music video production, the impact of MTV, and how censorship shaped their art. They also reflect on how the internet has changed the game for musicians, allowing direct connections with fans but shrinking video budgets. If you're passionate about the golden age of rock videos, music video artistry, or Skid Row's place in music history, this episode offers rare insights and plenty of rock nostalgia. #MusicVideos #SkidRow #SebastianBach #WayneIsham #18AndLife #RockDocumentary #MTVHistory #BehindTheScenes
