In a candid interview on The Jasta Show, Sebastian Bach opened up about a memorable experience while working with Ted Nugent on the reality show Supergroup. Bach described the incident as an ambush, revealing that he was tricked into drinking after being led to believe the day’s filming had ended.
Bach recalled, “I thought we were done for the day. I assumed there’d be a break, but Ted Nugent and Doc McGee clearly had other plans. It wasn’t staged—it just played out that way.”
Reflecting on the lesson he learned, Bach added, “What I realized is that a little drinking goes a long way on a TV show. You’ll never see me drink on camera again—no matter what.”
He described the sequence of events leading to the ambush. “They wrapped up and told us, ‘Shooting’s done, let’s get some dinner.’ We ordered pizza, the house was stocked with booze, and I thought, ‘Alright, we’re off the clock.’ So, I started drinking while waiting for the pizza.”
As time dragged on, Bach grew impatient. “8 p.m. comes, and I’m like, ‘Where’s the pizza?’ By 9 p.m., I’m pissed—‘Where’s the f*cking pizza?’ They purposely held it back to film us getting drunk. I wasn’t on my game, but they got great footage of me losing it over pizza.”
Supergroup aired in May 2006, featuring Bach, Nugent, Jason Bonham, Scott Ian, Evan Seinfeld, and manager Doc McGee. The show chronicled their journey living together in a Las Vegas mansion, forming a band called Damnocracy, and preparing for a live concert. Despite the show’s hype, Damnocracy disbanded in 2010, and tensions between Bach and Nugent escalated.
During the show, Nugent criticized Bach’s drinking habits, while Bach later accused Nugent of racism. In 2021, Bach also slammed Nugent for evading military service, to which Nugent responded, claiming Bach’s remarks were unfounded.
When asked about a potential reunion in 2022, Bach dismissed the idea. “Ha! I don’t think Ted and I could be in a band anymore… and that’s putting it mildly!”
In their brief time together, Damnocracy recorded demos of songs like “Take It Back,” “UltrAlive,” and “Edge of the World,” which were shared on MySpace in 2006. However, the band’s legacy remains more about its drama than its music.
