Sebastian Bach

[Michael B.]

For those who haven't seen.
A snippet from a current TV Guide interview.
You see - someone gets along with SP!


TV GUIDE: How did a metalhead like you end up on a family show like Gilmore
Girls?

BACH: When I got the call, I was like, "Do you guys have the right phone
number?" They wanted a "rock star" to [play] the guitar player [in Lane's
band] and [the casting director saw me on] VH1's I Love the '70s. I love
doing the show. I made some great friends. Scott Patterson, who plays Luke,
and I are really good friends.

TV GUIDE: Will you be back next season?

BACH: That's what I'm told. The band will carry on!

TV GUIDE: I dug it when you sang Gwen Stefani's "Hollaback Girl" in one
episode.

BACH: People freak on that! [Then executive producer] Dan Palladino said,
"We want you to sing this, but we're going to change the key to make it
lower for you." I said, "Who are you talking to? We're not changing any key.
Listen to this, man." [Starts singing "Hollaback Girl"]

TV GUIDE: Ever think about adding that to your live show?

BACH: [Laughs] No, no, no.

Oh, and this snippet from Entertainment Weekly's newest issue, their
annual "Must List" double-issue, #884/885 for June 30/July 7, the one
with the talentless Jessica Alba on the cover:

From page 80 (Taye Diggs dominates the page), and I'm annotating with
footnotes:

"SEBASTIAN BACH:
'Must' Honorary Gilmore Girl

AGE: 38. WHY HIM? In a hilarious act of self-parody, the ex-Skid
Row shrieker moonlights as Gilmore Girls' Gil, a has-been rocker who
fronts Lane's band[1]. GWEN WORLDS COLLIDE: Bach's raspy rendition
of Gwen Stefani's "Hollaback Girl" on Gilmore had us howling. "I get
so many comments on 'Hollaback!'" says Bach, who also stars in VH1's
Supergroup.[2] "All these metalheads e-mail me: "You've got balls of
steel, dude!'" NEXT: More Gilmore on The CW; a solo album, Angel
Down, out in October.[3]"

[1] Idiot uncredited EW writer. Gil's just the lead gee-tarist. Zach
actually fronts the band and Lane's more or less the business manager
with help from Mrs. Kim.

[2] And Useless Trivia That They Should Have Added Here: Sebastian
Bach is indeed a descendant of Johann Sebastian Bach. So if he can't
write a fugue, he's in serious trouble.

[3] Hmm . . . just in time for the new season of Gg. A coincidence?
I think not.

LORELAI: In the movie, only boy hobbits travel to Mount
Doom, but that's only because the girls went to do something
even more dangerous.
GIRL: What?
LORELAI: Have you ever heard of a Brazilian Bikini Wax?

His legal last name is Bierk. Wikipedia quotes him as changing his
name to "steal" a famous composer's. That sounds like he's not really
related to the Bachs at all.

Well then, back in the 80's-90's he was pulling a Jennifer Garner,
trying to make it look like he was related to some really famous old
dude just to further his career.

Who did Jennifer Garner try to act like she was related to?

James Garner. I read they were related (I *think* in "Parade") once
but it's apparently not true.
I think Sebastian Bach was allowing people to speculate on his
ancestry for the free publicity. As Rob noted, it's not the first
person to do so.

Jen even apologized to James Garner as part of her acceptance speech
for her (IIRC) Golden Globe for the first season of Alias.
