“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.”
— Sebastian Bach

YOUTUBE — The latest from Sebastian Bach is a foul-mouthed tirade against YouTube vocal experts.

Bach recently appeared in an online interview with Australia’s SPOTLIGHT REPORT with Skyjoker.

Bach is doing a promo run as he prepares to play 6 shows Down Under in late November 2025.

The interview with Skyjoker covers various points of the singer’s career, including tours that took place in Australia over the years.

At some point the former Skid Row frontman decides to bring up YouTube vocal instructors that do re-action videos and reviews.

Bach says: “I gotta bring something else up…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 100 degree weather and I’ll do a note like in my concert footage and they’ll sit in their chair and like, go, like sitting in their chair watching it on YouTube, singing “ahhhhhhh” as if that’s the same fucking thing as me running around on stage in the summertime!

I don’t get to sit down and like, watch and go see, I can do that.“

You can’t do shit. 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 better be ready for that!“

Bach continues: “So spare me sitting there like this. “God. Oh, shit. I can beat that”. Like. No!, you have no clue what the hell it is that I do sing the whole fucking song. Then hit the scream at the end in 100 degree weather. No sleep, Jet-lagged. You know, it just makes me laugh. Like, 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 and your air conditioning watching it on YouTube, thinking… you have no fucking 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 and there’s so many of these so-called “vocal experts” that I could kick them right in the balls!“

Because don’t tell 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 and their air conditioning…It’s really hilarious.”

There are over 150 comments in the online interview with Bach, and many have pointed out / or are alleging that Bach is referring to Ken Tamplin.

Tamplin is a well-known singer, recording artist and has an extensive online following with 1.26 million followers on his YouTube channel alone.

We have added Tamplin‘s video below titled; “Vocal Coach Reacts To Skid Row – Sebastian Bach – I Remember You – Live – Ken Tamplin“, which has roughly 240,000 views and appears to have been on the channel since June of 2019.

This performance Tamplin reviews is from Skid Row‘s appearance at ‘Wembley Stadium‘ and ironically, the vocal instructor (Tamplin) is also seated during his review.

Both are details pointed out by Bach in his rant, although he never names Tamplin.
