Sebastian Bach has blasted
Chris Jericho over the name of
FOZZY's 2017 tour, apparently implying that he came up with the moniker first.
Back in September 2017,
FOZZY announced the
"Fozzy Across America" tour during which it planned to play three live shows in three separate cities and three different time zones in just one day, a feat that apparently had never been attempted before by any other act.
Earlier today (Friday, October 16),
Bach tweeted out a couple of t-shirt designs from his former band,
SKID ROW, and he included the following message: "hey America!! Everybody get ready for the
Fozzy Across America Tour!! wow!! Check out these t-shirts that I designed in the year 1989! It never ends with this prick".
This is not the first time
Bach has called out
Jericho over something related to
FOZZY. Three months ago,
Bach accused
Jericho of using pre-recorded vocal tracks during the band's live performances. On July 16,
Jericho challenged
Bach to a "singoff" with "no effects, no tuning, no bullshit" in response to
Sebastian's allegation. "
Bas is a great singer...but I'm better,"
Chris wrote on
Twitter." The wrestler-turned-singer added: "I've never mimed anything 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!"
Bach fired back: " You're full of s*** bro. 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. Check your texts set up The Sing-Off I am ready when you are".
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."
Sebastian, who has been outspoken about rock bands using pre-recorded backing tracks during live shows, later tried to explain his outburst, writing: "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."
After a self-proclaimed
Bach fan called
Sebastian "an asshat" on
Twitter for firing "the first shots" in his war of words with
Jericho,
Bach came back with: "Hey man f*** you. I have spent my life learning how to sing live on stage. When someone comes along and mimes to a tape it sucks for all of the rest of us that don't. You want to go see a wrestling match good. Don't call it rock and roll".
