NEW YORK, Mar 18, 2002/ --- Sebastian Bach, in an effort to stay true to the spirit of his VH1 show "Forever Wild," has run into trouble with the law. The former lead singer of metal band Skid Row was charged with making terrorist threats after butting heads with a bartender at a Middletown, NJ restaurant.

Last night, after the bartender called the cops on the disorderly singer, he threatened to go get a gun from his Middletown home and shoot the bartender as well as some of his patrons.

Bach, whose birth certificate reads Sebastian Bierk, was also charged with disorderly conduct, possession of under 20 grams of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.

When police asked the suspect if he understood these charges, the 33-year-old reportedly replied, "Yeah, because I smoked a lot of weed." With a defense like that, we recommend he contact Winona's lawyer as soon as possible.

Skid Row hit the top ten in the late '80s with songs like "18 and Life" and "I Remember You." Bach has also starred in "Jekyll & Hyde" and "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" on Broadway.

Tonight on "Forever Wild" you can see the New Jersey rocker hit the town in L.A. with Guns 'N Roses guitarist, Slash.
