NEWS – Sebastian Bach Posts Images of His Home Damaged From Hurricane Floods

The east coast of the United States spent the weekend in fear as Hurricane Irene reportedly claimed the lives of over twenty people, forcing citizens to evacuate, businesses to close, artists and cancel and officials to declare a state of emergency. President Barack Obama issued a statement on Sunday stating, “I want people to understand this is not over.”

Ex-Skid Row frontman-turned-solo artist Sebastian Bach has revealed that his home in New Jersey, where his former band first started out in the late 1980s, had fallen victim to the damage and floods caused by the hurricane. Taking to Facebook he said; “I am numb, in shock, & devastated to report that my home of 21 years, my house featured on MTV Cribs, has been destroyed, condemned, & deemed uninhabitable due to the extreme flooding courtesy of Hurricane Irene. In the 2 decades I have lived in this home, there has never been a single drop of water in the basement or anywhere else in the structure. Now Irene has overflowed the reservoir adjacent to my house.”

“The surging waters have snapped the bridge in half next to my house & sent the bridge straight into my garage, knocking the house off of its foundation. The basement that has been dry for over 2 decades is now overflowing with water & I am not even allowed to start pumping the water out due to fears of electrocution. Original Skid Row & KISS fans, I have bad news for you . Gone are irreplacable items, such as my KISS Gargoyles from the 1979 tour. KISS pinball machine. Skid Row master tapes, video & audio, concerts, master tapes from Oh Say Can You Scream etc. Boxes & boxes of one of a kind Skid Row memorabilia, from the first tour to our last, all stuff I collected on the road that no one else had. I had a library in the basement with every single magazine that had Skid Row on the cover.”

Bach also posted photos of the wreck, adding, “Somewhere under this water is a KISS pinball machine & 2 gargoyles from the Dynasty tour. If you see them floating past your house, they’re mine. Or at least they were.” He also spoke about the tragedy via Twitter; “Every day at my house used to be a KISS party.. Now we can have a KISS party if you bring over some scuba gear… the house has been knocked off the foundation. By a bridge hitting it… we got the brunt of the cunt storm right by us. Red bank etc is completely like a disaster area.”
