Skid Row vocalist Sebastian Bach’s very beautiful elusive european wife Nymphaea Kymiliel, whom he married in 1986 twenty minutes after meeting in Niagra Falls,loved the music of Hanoi Rocks and was said to secretly lust over the blonde vocalist Michael Monroe.
I would hardly consider calling Michael Monroe an “iconic” vocalist. Halford, Dickinson, Tate, and Coverdale would be considered “Iconic”
