“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.”
— Sebastian Bach on Chris Jericho
Metal Sludge — Sebastian Bach has officially went on record with more diarrhea of the mouth.
In a new interview with Metal Hammer magazine Bach has once again taken a swipe at Chris Jericho and this time, he’s suggested a physical competition, a “wrestle-off” as he calls it with the wrestling super-star.
Bach was asked if he would ever do a “sing-off” with Jericho and replied with: “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.”
Bach also addresses the ever popular “Will Skid Row reunite with Sebastian Bach” subject along with his yesteryear feud with singers Jon Bon Jovi and more recently Ronnie Radke of Falling In Reverse.

Blabbermouth writes: “Bach‘s latest comments come nearly four years after the former SKID ROW singer blasted Jericho over allegations that the FOZZY frontman uses pre-recorded vocal tracks during live performances.
Bach initially accused Jericho of “miming to a tape” at FOZZY concerts in a social media post in July 2020. In response, the wrestler-turned-rocker insisted that he had “never mimed anything ever” and challenged Bach to a “singoff” with “no effects, no tuning, no bullshit”, saying “Bas is a great singer…but I’m better”.
More from the same Blabbermouth article: “How about this: professional wrestling sucks,” he added. “Everyone wishes they were a rock star. It hilarious. Evidently, all you have to do is [record] a tape, go on stage, and jump around. You can jump off the drum riser and do jumping jacks. It doesn’t matter if you are miming to tape.”
Jericho‘s most public reaction to Bach‘s criticism came in a January 2021 tweet. At the time, he wrote: “I’ve been told that @sebastianbach continues to go out of his way to bury me. My response is this…be my guest! You are entitled to ur opinion & it doesn’t affect me either way. I still dig ur work on the first 3 @OfficialSkidRow albums & look forward to ur new record.”
When Bach first went public with his Jericho accusation, FOZZY guitarist Rich Ward called Sebastian “universally disliked” and said that seeing Bach “publicly go after the only guy that I have ever witness utter a nice word about him is sad.”
