Former Skid Row frontman Sebastian Bach has once again stirred conversation, urging his fans to reconsider their support if they disagree with his political views. The singer recently responded to fans on X (formerly Twitter), where his comments revealed a mix of gratitude and firm stances on democracy and social issues.
After one fan praised a radio station playing his music, Bach expressed his appreciation, tweeting:
“Very cool, thank you channel 39!”
However, when another fan admitted to enjoying his music despite disagreeing with his politics, Bach didn’t mince words. He fired back:
“So you trust JD Vance to lead you and your country then? Please stop listening to my music.”
A Passion for Democracy
Another supporter shared admiration not only for Bach’s music but also his political outlook and acting. Bach replied by affirming his values:
“I love the concept of democracy. Not into dictatorship really. I’m into the concept of kids being safe in school or at a 4th of July parade. Saving the planet Earth 4our kids to live on. Women being in control of their own bodies. Weird stuff like that.”
A History of Political Outspokenness
This is not the first time Sebastian Bach has been vocal about his political beliefs. While he is often recognized for his conservative leanings, fans were surprised when he launched a scathing critique of Donald Trump several years ago.
Bach’s criticism highlighted Trump’s disregard for science and its impact on the music industry. In one tweet, he claimed:
“If you support Donald Trump you stand against rock n’ roll and every musician in America who has been put out of work because a reality television show host doesn’t believe in science.”
He also took a jab at a fan planning to vote for Trump, sarcastically referencing the former president’s reality TV show, The Apprentice:
“If you choose not to decide you still have made a choice. You are voting for Donald Trump. So on his reality TV show, which episode was your favorite? Was it the one with Coolio? What about Stassi from Vanderpump Rules?”
Dividing Fans
Bach’s candidness continues to divide opinions among his audience. While some admire his unapologetic approach to sharing his beliefs, others struggle to reconcile their love for his music with his political stances. Regardless of the mixed reactions, Bach remains steadfast in championing his ideals, encouraging dialogue, and staying true to his principles.
