Taking portions of the VH1 show that held the same name "Forever Wild" and combining it with live concert footage we get this release from Sebastian Bach on Eagle Vision. It took a couple of views for me to come up with the proper opinion of it. While I have been a fan of Sebastian and his efforts for Metal and Hard Rock I found this DVD a little on the confusing side. For those that are unaware VH1 had a short-lived show bearing this name and it was dreadful if you asked me. The show was Sebastian pretty much running amok and they periodically showed videos. They also would place him in some odd situation on his own or with another rocker. It was almost like a "lets make a reality show about Sebastian Bach and how wild he can be" but never really followed any sort of scripting. I felt they should have either made a normal reality show about his life, and his band and touring and all or just done a Metal and Rock videos show with him as the host. I think the indecision of Network Executives is what endangered this show and made it so scattered. It was almost as if the creators were not placing so much attention in it. Over time this could have been developed into something a lot more interesting. Which brings us to this DVD.

Anyway, on this DVD we get a good sampling of the VH1 segments and while I felt much of them were wasted time there was some that left me gasping for air in laughter. Bach does some stuff with Motley Crue Singer Vince Neil and after losing a bet with him has to stand in an Alligator pool. I am not kidding you as he is standing knees deep in a pond full of Alligators and the handlers keep telling him don't move suddenly or anything. His expressions alone are priceless. There is also an amusing segment with Ted Nugent but how could the Nuge make any segment bad. Nugent alone is one of the most interesting people in Music. To me those were the best of the included TV segments.

The concert footage was pretty cool to see, as Bach really is an excellent front man. He is so totally into what he does and the audience energy seems to fuel him track after track. Joining Sebastian in the group for the video concert portion is Ritchie Scarlet (guitar), Mark McConnell (Drums), and Larry Fisher (bass). This section was filmed at The Whisky in Hollywood California in 2003. There is a lot of the Skid Row tunes you want to hear in the set and overall its fun to watch. They had all of my favorites by Skid Row so I was ok on the concert content. I watched the whole piece straight thru and did not see if there was a way to only watch the concert or the other program. I think the viewer is stuck with flipping past things that don't interest them. You can see by listing of the tracks on it, that concert pieces follow segments of the VH1 show and vice versa.

I understand that the DVD isn't of perfect quality, but I must say that this didn't bother me AT ALL!!!

Sebastian has done something with this DVD that others should take notice of...made something HE knew his fans would like...It's personal, funny, and in true Bach style...Diehard fans will overlook the little things. The music speaks for itself...his laugh contagious. Sebastian Bach rocks!!!!

Being a HUGE Sebastian fan, I loved this!! Sebastian is hilarious and adorable! Watching this made me see him as very down to earth! Would love to party with this guy! The only thing I wasn't too fond of is the actual concert footage during the first half or so - what were these guys thinking when they got dressed???!! Kind of reminded me of a bad 1970's B movie. A head-to-toe silver, sequined "Miami Vice" suit does NOT belong on someone like Sebastian! I'm very surprised (with his usual image) that he actually dressed like that in public! And the BAD hairdo - whoa! But all the in-between footage, as well as his incredible, unmatched vocals, were awesome! (Make absolute sure to watch "Bach in the Pit" - I can watch that part over and over! Hilarious to see Sebastian trying to stay cool when you could see he was pretty freaked out!) Bottom line - I love it!

Very disappointed with the audio/video quality of this DVD. Almost on the same level as a bootleg. I can't believe after all these years Sebastian Bach doesn't have better quality live footage to offer his fans.

I just cannot believe that Sebastian Bach would allow a DVD of this quality to be sold in his name. After waiting so long for this DVD to come out, it is a dud. I love Sebastian Bach, but this DVD sucks. The sound quality is terrible. The five star reviews for this DVD are obviously placed here on Amazon by the company executives who manufactured and put out this sub-par piece of crap. Do not buy it, you will not be missing much. Check Ebay for mine and get a better deal...

This is a very good musical DVD, but the concert overall is very boring. First of all they are in halloween costumes making it harder for them to move around, so it gets boring to watch. Also it is at a bar or what looks like a bar so not a lot of space to move. The TV series stuff is funny but not great. The best part of this DVD is that there is no other place to see him perform live other then a show.

This was a Yule girt for my daughter. On her 16th birthday I took her to see Skid Row in New Orleans. It was love at first sight. I also love the band, but for their music.

I have been a fan of Skid Row and espically Sebastian Bach for the last 15 years and was very excited to hear he was putting out a DVD. The DVD was a total let down. The concert footage sound is terrible, and the excerpts from his VH1 special were boring. I will forever be a fan, but don't bother with this one for your collection.

I love Sebastian Bach's voice as heard on the Skid Row albums. But I was disappointed because he either lost the ability to reach the very high and clear notes or he never was able to and he simply used to use technology to make that sound possible. I don't know because I never saw a live Skid Row show in the past. By the way, what's with the costumes? He's a cool guy though.

In regards to the DVD, I was disappointed at the poor sound and picture quality of the video (the concert clip).

I was so excited when I first found out about this DVD . The long wait was well worth it . I put that thing in my DVD and rocked out to every live song not to mention laughed my ass off . Sebastian has a sense of humor that will leave you rolling on your floor. The bonus footage including the Easter Egg was a real treat.As a matter of fact I use this DVD to work out to on my exercise bike fast kick ass Rock just what I need .I love this dvd and I'm so glad I bought it, so freaks go out and by the DVD it's must for your Collection :)
