Former Skid Row frontman Sebastian Bach has reignited his long-standing feud with AEW’s Chris Jericho.
In an interview with Metal Hammer magazine promoting his new album Child Within The Man, Bach was asked by a fan: Will you ever do a sing-off with Chris Jericho?
Bach replied: “The better question would be, will he do a wrestle-off with Sebastian Bach? Because I’m as much of a wrestler as he is a singer.”
Since 2019 Bach has leveled allegations against Jericho and his band Fozzy countless times in the media. Bach claimed that Jericho uses taped vocal tracks and lip synchs to them during his live performances. Bach has even called Jericho the new “Milli Vanilli”.
During one such dust-up in X, Jericho had this to say:
Hi… I’m Chris “Milli Vanilli” Jericho. I have 5 top 30 singles in the last five years w my band @FOZZYROCK. I’m a huge fan of @sebastianbach … who had 3 top 30 singles 30 years ago. I always admired him as a singer and a friend! And I still do. https://t.co/fTPGmzBtSq

Bach responded:
That’s great is there a clip of you actually singing live? Because all I have seen are clips of you miming to a tape. Congrats on the radio hits and your hair is certainly looking good these days 👍 https://t.co/EFPqSpPAMn

Jericho fired back:
I’ve seen the derogatory comments towards me from somebody I considered to be a friend. So with that in mind, I’ll be happy to have a SING OFF w @sebastianbach! No effects, no tuning, no bullshit. Bas is a great singer…but I’m better. You’ve got my number dude. Call me.

Bach replied:
Where is the derogatory comment? All I asked is to see one single clip of you singing live. Every clip on the Internet is you miming to a tape. I will sing in your f****** face anytime. Wrestling is not rock and roll. I will show you f****** rock and roll. https://t.co/dPoecJGdF7 pic.twitter.com/Mm28RE9i0Q

Jericho responded:
I’ve never mimed anything ever! And I don’t use *** in a tweet ever. I will fucking sing in your face anytime, anyplace dude. I’ve been a fan & a defender of u since day one…but don’t u ever question my rock abilities! And leave wrestling out of this…I can hit a G4 brah! https://t.co/U2hV7jjg42

Bach later wrote and explained his stance.
“I’m not trying to beat anybody at anything. I’m actually trying to say hey Chris maybe you’re right maybe I’ll stop singing live and prance around while the tape is playing just like you do Chris. I’m tired of trying so hard it’s like beating my head against the wall,” he said also saying that he and others who have had to learn how to sing live are insulted by people who use taped tracks during live shows.
