“Daily Horseshit. Hey Internet the horseshit never stops! Last night in Detroit I was confronted by a dude proudly wearing a MADAM X shirt. A band, whom, as you can read in my book, spit in my face & kicked me out when I was 16 years old.“
— Sebastian Bach – June 5th 2024

Metal Sludge — Sebastian Bach is a liar, plain and simple.

Which is the real answer, is anyone’s guess, but Bach has recently went on record to discredit the internet for “Daily Horsesh!t” and seemed to back pedal about his words at his recent Detroit show.

Bach went on a tirade during his live show at St. Andrew’s Hall in Detroit on June 4th and blasted the P.A. system with; “Yeah, that’s the band that kicked me out. Yeah, killer. Great. F#@king assholes” after pointing to a fan in the crowd.

It was assumed, that Bach was referencing Skid Row as shortly after, he pointed out a another fan in the crowd for wearing a Skid Row t-shirt featuring one of the band’s more recent singers.

Bach continued his rambling with; “I’m fascinated by this shirt right here. This is Skid Row with what number singer? Seven? Eight? Nine? What number is that guy? Huh? What number? Is that replacement number seven? Or number eight? Or number nine? And before you say, ‘Well they don’t have nine,’ I can f#@king name every f#@king one of them. How do you even wear that? It’s like, ridiculous. Is that the guys from DRAGONFORCE? Or fucking TNT? Or whatever the f#@k. F#@king embarrassing.”

Now the former Skid Row frontman is back-pedaling and saying he was not referencing Skid Row when he said; “”Yeah, that’s the band that kicked me out. Yeah, killer. Great. F#@king asshole” and claims he was referring to Madam X.

Bach took to social media sharing a recent Blabbermouth post and wrote; “BACH BLASTS MADAM X, Celebrates 35 Years of the 1st Album Skid Row’ is the actual title of what happened that show. Instead of tripping over yourself to put words in my mouth that I mever said why dont u get the story straight for once”.

Bach‘s post continued with; “Daily Horseshit. Hey Internet the horseshit never stops! Last night in Detroit I was confronted by a dude proudly wearing a MADAM X shirt. A band, whom, as you can read in my book, spit in my face & kicked me out when I was 16 years old. So I commented on that. Not mad at the guy for wearing it but not thrilled at staring at it either. Then there was some goof ball wearing a SKID FAUX shirt staring at his phone in the front row the whole show thinking somehow that would be appropriate. If you’re gonna wear a SKID ROW shirt to my show, it would be appropriate to sport the Original SKID ROW. Not some other band that lasted 6 months or whatever. The music we celebrate at these shows has lasted the test of time for 35 years and will do so forever. That is what these shows are about. Come celebrate 35 years of the 1st Album ‘Skid Row’ with us. But realize this is a real rock show and you never know what’s gonna happen”.

Well Metal Sludge did a little digging and look what we found.

It seems Bach is not being honest or confusing his bands and past history with said bands.

One way or the other Bach is not being truthful, as in his memoir ‘18 and LIFE on SKID ROW‘ he talked at length about all of the groups he played with including his time in Madam X.

In the excerpt about Madam X the former Skid Row frontman wrote; “I drove back to Detroit with Mark. I remember him telling me in his green van, on the way home, that I was going to be a star and that I was going to make it big. It all seemed like a dream. After we got back to Detroit, I quit Madam X. I had been in that band exactly one year, to the day, from 1985 to 1986. I went back to Toronto in a car that I bought in Troy, Michigan, for fifty dollars.”
