Sebastian Bach’s Top TV Moments

 Rock star Sebastian Bach’s recent stint on the ABC reality show “Sing Your Face Off” was the perfect piece to add to his reality resume. Before the ex-Skid Row front man’s debut on the six-episode talent competition that had him channeling the identity of  various music icons, Bach posted backstage footage from the show to his Instagram account, where it looked like he was being transformed into Elvis. Anyone for a heavy metal "Hound Dog?”

In a truly bizarre casting lineup, the judges for the show included Debbie Gibson, Darrell Hammond, and RuPaul, while Baz's competition was Lovitz, basketball player Landry Fields, Disney star China Anne McClain, and TV host/actress Lisa Rinna. On paper, the rocker was a shoe-in. Besides, how can you not root for a guy whose latest CD is called "ABachalypse Now"?

But after channeling everyone from Lady Gaga to Adam Levine to Willie Nelson and Freddie Mercury, Bach was given his walking papers, thanks in part to ‘80s pop princess Gibson’s harsh critiques.

While he didn’t totally save face on “Sing Your Face Off,” the small screen is nothing new for this rocker, especially the reality genre. Check out some of Sebastian Bach's top TV moments.

“Gilmore Girls”

Sebastian's recurring stint on The WB drama "Gilmore Girls" wasn't a huge stretch: He played guitar player Gil in Lane Kim's fictional garage band Hep Alien, jamming cover tunes at events all over Stars Hollow. But this gig was a game changer for the real-life rock star. In 2012, Sebastian told the Chicago Tribune, "I get noticed for different things I've done in different areas of town. If I'm in a rock club, it'll be Skid Row. If I'm in a mall, it's the 'Gilmore Girls.' Teenagers will come up to me, and they'll be like, 'Aren't you that guy?' And I'll be like, 'Uh, which guy are you talking about?'"

“Californication”

In 2013, Sebastian turned up as a rock guitarist again; this time on Showtime's "Californication." In the episode "Dead Rocks Stars," he played a dead rocker who came back to life via a supersize hologram at his funeral. Yeah, we know, 2Pac and Coachella did it first, but Bach's late rockstar alter ego did deliver this doozy: "If you're seeing me in this badass holographic form, that means I must be dead, which totally sucks for me."

“SpongeBob Squarepants”

In 2010, the rockstar got animated for the "SpongeBob SquarePants" cartoon special "The Clash of Triton," voicing the bad boy son of Queen Amphitrite and King Neptune. (His posh mom was even played by Victoria Beckham!) Of his kiddie cartoon stint, the singer told Legendary Rock Interviews, "It is pretty cool to have 'SpongeBob' on the resume… so was 'Robot Chicken.' I've done a lot of interesting stuff like that, which I never really dreamed I would do but ended up being a lot of fun."

“Celebrity Fit Club”

Sebastian sweated it out on Season 7 of VH1's "Celebrity Fit Club" back in 2010, as trainer Harvey Walden IV barked boot-camp orders at him and fellow out-of-shape celebs Bobby Brown, Nicole Eggert, K-Fed, andK-Fed's first baby mama. The reason for the rocker's boot-camp blitz? "Nobody likes a fat rockstar," Bach said.

"Gone Country"

In 2008, Sebastian proved that he's a little bit country, a little bit rock 'n' roll when he was crowned the Season 2 winner of the CMT reality show "Gone Country," beating out fellow competitors Chris Kirkpatrick, Irene Cara, Lorenzo Lamas, Sean Young, Jermaine Jackson, and Mikalah Gordon for the title. Host John Rich told The Boot, "[Sebastian] truly understands what makes a great country song, and his singing ability is still off the charts. I'm very proud of him going country! [He] put his real life experiences into his song. 'Battle with the Bottle' deals with the challenges he faces in his life on a daily basis, and when your music imitates your life, that's where great country music happens."

"I Married Sebastian Bach"

VH1's "I Married Sebastian Bach" went behind the scenes with the rocker and his then-wife, Maria, back in 2004. While the former Mrs. Bach was both Sebastian's wife and manager, the rockstar revealed that in times of frustration he'd shout, "I don't have a wife or a f---ing manager!"

“SuperGroup”

And talk about a super group! In 2006, Sebastian teamed up with rock icons Ted Nugent, Jason Bonham, Scott Ian, and Evan Seinfeld for a VH1 reality show that had them forming the ultimate hard rock band. While the music came easy, naming the group was another thing. The band toyed with everything from FIST to Rawdog to Savage Animal before deciding on Damnocracy, but it could have been worse: Nugent came up with "Hunting Deer With a Bow and Arrow," a name that doesn't roll off anybody's tongue.
