“I was never in the band, but I rehearsed with the band," Bach, 57, said in the January 2026 interview. "I rehearsed with them, and Nikki asked me to join the band at the rehearsal in front of everybody. And then we had phone calls about that in the weeks after that, with Doug Thaler, the manager. And then it came down to the fact that Atlantic Records would not let that happen."
In 2013, Bach posted a link to a 1994 MTV’s Headbanger's Ball interview in which Sixx talked about rehearsing with Bach when Neil wasn’t around.
Corabi joined Motley Crue as lead singer and guitarist from 1992 to 1996 before Neil rejoined the band.
“I don't know where Sebastian got this," Sixx said on an episode of his Sixx Sense radio show in 2013, per Ultimate Classic Rock. “I think maybe Sebastian wanted to be in Motley Crue and just forgot to tell us that he wanted to be in Motley Crue when we were looking for a singer. Which I don't think we would have taken him anyway, just because of our friends from Skid Row."
Bach responded with a lengthy Facebook post, calling out Sixx. “Well, it's not every day you wake up to one of your childhood heroes calling you a liar,” he wrote in 2013. “Either that, or Nikki Sixx's memory needs some serious 'refreshing'.”
Acknowledging that “Vince Neil is the voice, frontman, & singer of Motley Crue. Now & forever,” Bach added, “The fact of the matter is I was not only asked to join Motley Crue..... I actually REHEARSED with the band Motley Crue. I was driven to rehearsal by Tommy Lee and I spent a full day singing the Motley Crue set with the band Motley Crue. In front of their whole road crew. I remember the songs that Nikki asked me to sing that day. I remember the whole road crew's ecstatic reaction to us jamming together all day. And I remember Nikki's very generous, kind offer, at the end of our rehearsal, for me to join the band Motley Crue.”
In the Metal Voice interview, Bach, who officially left Skid Row in 1996, said he would always be a fan of Motley Crue, and especially Neil, who has suffered recent medical issues. "I'm very happy for Vince," the singer added. "He's still gonna be going on tour, so way to go, Vince."
