Sebastian Bach Blasts ‘Vocal Experts’ Trashing His Voice

Former Skid Row frontman Sebastian Bach recently unleashed a hilarious, no-holds-barred rant over self-proclaimed “vocal experts” and “vocal instructors” on YouTube who have criticized his live performances, as captured in various videos on the platform.

In a recent interview with Australia’s Spotlight Report, He said:  ”YouTube is so hilarious. I see videos of guys that call themselves vocal experts or vocal instructors or whatever, and these idiots watch a video of me on stage, like at Wembley Stadium, running around with no shirt on in hundred-degree weathers. And I’ll do a note in my concert footage, and they’ll sit in their chair and go, ‘Ah, ah,’ sitting in their chair, watching it on YouTube, thinking that’s the same fucking thing as me running around on stage in the summertime. And I don’t get to sit down and watch and go, ‘See, I can do that.'”

He further addressed his critics directly and continued: “You can’t do sh*t. And another thing is you don’t just do one note of the song. The challenge is to sing the whole song ‘I Remember You’. And then at the end there’s a scream, and you’d better be ready for that. So spare me sitting there like this, going, ‘Oh, see, I can do that.’ No, you have no clue what the hell it is that I do. Sing the whole f**king song — then hit the scream at the end in a hundred-degree weather, on no sleep, jet lagged.”

Bach added: “It just makes me laugh. It’s just so funny that people think that they know how to get on a stage and rock for an hour and a half or two hours. It’s a dying art, and you can’t sit in your living room, in your air conditioning, watching it on YouTube, thinking you have a f**king clue about what it is to get up on that stage and do it every single night. It’s not physically or mentally easy to do. And there’s so many of these so-called vocal experts that I could kick ’em right in the balls. Because don’t even think you know what it is that a guy like me does. I’m not saying this to you — I’m saying this to all the experts in their basement, in their air conditioning. It’s really hilarious.

Sebastian Bach’s latest album, “Child Within the Man,” was released in May 2024 through Reigning Phoenix Music. The LP was recorded in Orlando, Florida, and produced and mixed by Michael “Elvis” Baskette. It was engineered by Jef Moll, with Josh Saldate serving as the assistant engineer, and mastered by Robert Ludwig at Gateway Mastering. Bach wrote or co-wrote all 11 tracks on the album and performed all lead and backing vocals. Bach is known for his controversial posts on social media.
