ELDERLY GONE WILD
Sebastian Bach slams Adam Levine after the singer’s Super Bowl performance
US MAGAZINE — Not impressed. Sebastian Bach slammed Adam Levine‘s Super Bowl 2019 halftime show performance after the “Girls Like You” singer dissed rock music.
“Whatever he was trying to do on stage tonight is way more dead than Rock will ever be,” the 18 and Life on Skid Row author, 50, wrote on Twitter on Monday, February 4, of Levine’s shirtless act at Super Bowl LIII on Sunday, February 3.
The rock legend has been feuding with the Maroon 5 frontman, 39, since November, when the Voice judge gave an interview with Variety Opens a New Window. magazine in which he dismissed the genre entirely. “Rock music is nowhere, really. I don’t know where it is. If it’s around, no one’s invited me to the party,” Levine said at the time.
He continued: “All of the innovation and the incredible things happening in music are in hip-hop. It’s better than everything else. Hip-hop is weird and avant-garde and flawed and real, and that’s why people love it. … My goal is to make songs that don’t sound dated 10 years later. My main criteria for a song is, ‘Can I live with it forever?’ And if I can’t, I just don’t have the heart to do it. It’s that simple.”
The Gilmore Girls alum was quick to clap back with a zinger aimed at the Grammy winner.
“Rock music is nowhere, but when you want your team to win The Voice, you choose the song ‘I Remember You,’ he wrote on Twitter Opens a New Window. on December 1, adding, “You’re welcome.” (Levine’s team contestant Amber Carrington sang the song by Bach’s former band, Skid Row, in 2013, and told TVLine Opens a New Window. in June 2013 that it was “one of Adam’s favorite songs.”)
