#sebastianbach #skidrow

I cite my sources and they may differ than other people's accounts, so I don't guarantee the actual accuracy of my videos.

Bon Jovi - Jon Bon Jovi would be instrumental in helping Skid Row early on in their career. They would share the same manager, helped nab the band a deal with Atlantic Records and even opened for Bon Jovi in the late 80’s. But the relationship between Bach and Jon soured when Jon and Ritchie Sambora as part of taking the band under their wings got a lionshare of Skid Row’s publishing.

According to Bach’s book 18 and Life it was when Skid Row’s merchandise started to outsell Bon JOvi’s that Jon took exception with him recalling in his book that he was summoned into a room by the bon jovi frontman writing "he stared me down and said the words, ‘I’ll f—ing own you.’ ” Bach would also claim that during the tail end of their tours the band’s would play pranks on one another. Ahead of Skid Row’s set in Kentukcy, Bon Jovi’s entourage soaked Bach Bach with ice milk who was furious went up on stage slamming the headliner Skid Row’s crew responded by throwing a carton of eggs at Bon Jovi’s crew.

It was when Skid Row walked off stage that Jon and his roadcrew were waiting for Bach with him writing
“We saw about 60 people coming toward us,” Leading the pack was Jon Bon Jovi himself. Flanking him, side to side, was his dad and his brother Tony. Behind them was the full Bon Jovi road crew.”
Jon Bon Jovi would throw a punch at Bach, that missed. Bon Jovi’s entourage would throw Bach into the dressing room and throw him up against the wall with Bach adding in his book.
“Bon Jovi Senior pointed in my face as I was held against the wall,” Bach writes. “He said, ‘I’ll (blanking) kill you,’ or something like that.”
Both Jon and Ritchie would eventually relax their rights to Skid Row’s publishing under the condition that Bach sign a gag order according to Loudersound. It was years later either in the late 2000’s or 2010’s when Sebastian Bach, who was no longer in Skid Row was touring with Guns N’ Roses and having dinner with frontman Axl Rose at a restaurant in London that he mended fences with Jon.
Chris Jericho

Apart from wrestling, Chris Jericho also built a career in music fronting the band Fozzy. A user on twitter tweeted to Sebastian Bach that Jericho was starting to copy Bach’s style to which Bach responded “https://twitter.com/sebastianbach/status/1283587097966731264?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1283587097966731264%7Ctwgr%5Efdd4d7f6255e6e611ef0607b97e9cbd77f3e627c%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fmetalinjection.net%2Fnews%2Ffeuds%2Fsebastian-bach-vs-chris-jericho-is-the-most-insane-feud-of-the-week”

Then another user would insult bach saying jericho has him beat to which bach claimed and i quote “he definitely does considering he mimes to a tape.” The user responded that he does not mime based on his own experience seeing fozzy live to which bach Cool let's see a clip of that then because every single clip I have seen is Milli vanilliresponded
Eventually Jericho wayed in tweeting Hi... I’m Chris “Milli Vanilli” Jericho. I have 5 top 30 singles in the last five years w my band @FOZZYROCK. I’m a huge fan of @sebastianbach ... who had 3 top 30 singles 30 years ago. I always admired him as a singer and a friend! And I still do.
They would trade more barbs and jericho would challenge bach to have a sing off. Eventually Bach would start trending on twitter because of the feud and upload a screenshot of derogatory text messages he sent to Jericho saying he should stop singing for the good of mankind. https://metalinjection.net/new....s/feuds/sebastian-ba

Skid Row Bandmates
In 1996 Sebastian Bach would be fired after supposedly booking the band to tour with Kiss as part of their reunion tour. While Bach has claimed that the band has gotten several lucrative offers to rejoin and has been open to discussing the possibility, his bandmates don’t want a reunion. Bach was a lightning rod for controversy for the band during their early years.
Apart from the Kiss tour, as the band went further in their career Bach wanted a bigger role in songwriting with guitarist Dave Snake Sabo telling Loduers

#eddietrunk #steelpanther #sharonosbourne

I cite my sources and they may differ than other people's accounts, so I don't guarantee the actual accuracy of my videos.

Eddie I know everybody Trunk He’s a man whose kept metal and rock n’ roll alive and without him the genre would have died a terrible death and that is a direct quote from Eddie Trunk.. JK But today i wanted to take a look at some of his feuds and why some people aren’t fans of his.

Steel Panther - Eddie Trunk - Radio host Eddie “I know everybody and hung out with them’ trunk has long expressed his distaste for the band Steel Panther. It was during his show he was asked to name one band he never thought would make it and he singled out steel panther saying “It amazes me – the amount of shows and attention… They’ve gotten huge in England, but in America, they’re still basically a House of Blues-level band, but it always amazed me how popular Steel Panther got from what they started out as, which was a band called Metal School.
“They’re still a parody, a spoof, on ’80s rock. I think there’s a segment of their fanbase that isn’t even in on the joke, that is younger.
It was a year earlier he was a little more critical saying “I have nothing personal against anybody in the band. They are good people, they are good players and all that. But it’s a spoof. It’s an act. It’s mocking 80’s hard rock….“My time and energy are going to be invested into the bands from that era, that are still trying to make new, credible, real music. …
The bass player [Lexxi Foxx] literally applies makeup while the show is happening. His hands aren’t even on the bass. Cause I guess they are running a track or something. Satchel would respond to himhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynuoZjFne68

Rob “Blasko” Nicholson of OZZY OSBOURNE’s would slam Trunk in a tweet put in late 2019 writing

“Was just listening to Eddie Trunk Live on Sirius XM… That dude can go get fucked! Since when is that douche bag the ambassador of Metal?”
Trunk would respond with tweet saying
“Heard that Blasko said some stuff about me on Twitter while listening to my Saturday show. Don’t know the guy, no idea what his problem is!”

Santa Cruz - It was this year that Eddie “I know everybody” trunk posted a video of the band santa cruz performing a show at the whisky a go go and there’s a point in the video where no one is at the microphone and a pre-recorded vocal tape can be heard. Trunk would write on social media in response to the video "This is beyond words … everyone I guess just okay with this?!" "As I've said and have been saying this has become an epidemic that needs to stop. So bad it's to the point this band doesn't event attempt to fake their lip synching. Stunning. Imagine paying to see a band you love 'live' and it's anything but.
"What's the point? Imagine you are a band that puts the work in to be live, and others don't, play to a computer , and fans talk about how great they sound… pathetic. It's the norm in pop, it's gotta stop in rock. Bands, fans and promoters have to care that a live rock show is live or it will only get worse. Madness."
Well Trunk rushed to judgement because the frontman of Santa Cruze Archie would post a response on Instagram where he said the following
"I just feel like I need to clear some expletive out. Obviously, there's been a lot of backlash after our show at the Whisky last Wednesday. And we've been accused of 'miming' on the track, which is not true. We did have backing tracks, but we just had some layers, and that is literally what every big band is doing right now, which just happened to up the timing, so I feel like I need to clear that out right now." "This is my vocal [playing in the video]. This is what I do live. That's my track. That's 100 percent live. And what we had in the P.A. was an octave-lower harmony and an octave-higher harmony to back that shit up. So, please do not talk about something you don't know anything about or do not accuse us of doing something that's not true. So, piss off and shut the f up."
Trunk would write a follow up post claiming he wasn’t singingling the band out and even had Santa Ana his show once and said he liked their music. Archie would end up issuing an apology to trunk for calling him names on social media in a separate post.

#campireweekend #contra

I cite my sources and they may differ than other people's accounts, so I don't guarantee the actual accuracy of my videos.

When people who appear on album covers end up suing the band for using their likeness or image it usually comes down to whether a release was signed, but it’s rare that another element is thrown in. That’s what happened to band Vampire Weekend and that’s what were going to discuss in today’s video.

Vampire Weekend would form in 2006, by four students attending columbia university . Their first album, which was self-titled would come out in 2008, and sold nearly 600,000 copies, impressive by indie standards. The band soon landed on the cover of Spin magazine and the band would release their second album through label XL Records titled Contra in 2010. The album cover featuring a polaroid of a girl . The photo was found by one of the band members who used the search terms ‘New York City 1983’ on Flickr.

It was around the time of the album’s release that the band’s frontman Ezra Koenig (kay-nig) would tell pitchfork why they chose the photo for the album cover saying “the first expression that I read into her was some sort of hesitation. We had a lot of discussions trying to figure out how old this person was when the picture was taken-- she could be 15 or 27. The ambiguity of her age and expression made me feel like she was on the cusp of something, which really matches the vibe of the new album. When asked who she was he would add “I don't want to give away all the details about the photo just yet, but I learned that she's now living in Malibu.”

The band had offered the owner of the photo Tod Brody on flickr $5,000 to use the photo on their album cover believing since Brody posted it on the site he owned the copyright to it. Brody claimed to have taken the photo during a casting session for a television commercial several decades prior.

The photo of the woman on the album cover was heavily used to market the record. A few months after the album came out, the band and XL Recordings their label were hit with a 2 million lawsuit by the woman on the cover. The woman on the cover was named Ann Kirsten Kennis She would claim the photo was used without her permission.

Kennis for her part was already used to people using her likeness and image to sell products. She had enjoyed a modelling career where her image was used to sell products for L’Oréal, Revlon, Fabergé, and Vaseline to name a few. These instances didn’t result in a lawsuit. She signed a release and received a payment for her services.

Contra would hit number 1 in america on the album charts and charted throughout the rest of the world.. Kennis only became aware of the record after her daughter saw a banner ad online from barnes and noble advertising the album. Kennis for her part, had never heard of Vampire weekend before or even knew the photographer who claimed to own the rights to the picture.

For Kennis, It was a moment of rebirth for her as she was now retired from modeling after 10 years in the industry. She would meet her husband after developing something called Space Bear teddy bears, which are now called cosmic cubs club. By the time Kennis saw her photo she had just completed her last session of chemotherapy for breast cancer.

Once Kennis became aware of her image being used on the album cover it became inescapable as she went about her day to day business. As she strolled through new york city she’d see posters of the album around the city, she’d hear Vampire Weekend playing in clothing stores she visited and. She’d even learn from reading the new york times that the band was using the image during their live shows. Friends of the former model from as far as Europe would claim to have seen her image in advertisements for the album in their country too

According to Kennis the photo was taken back in 1983. She claimed that the release forms that are typically signed for these photos was not signed by herself, but rather forged.

In one of the strangest parts of this story, Vanity Fair would write and i quote “if the Contra case does go to trial, the outcome could hinge on a key docume

#cradleoffilth #tshirt #metal

I cite my sources and they may differ than other people's accounts, so I don't guarantee the actual accuracy of my videos.

British Heavy metal band Cradle of Filth has attracted it’s fair share of controversy throughout their career. Today we’re going to take a look at the worldwide controversy that erupted over a shirt they released that rolling stone magazine dubbed and i quote “the most controversial shirt in rock history. “

Now because this is youtube i’m not going to show the shirt and chances are if you’re watching this video you’re either already familiar with the shirt or you can use google to look up exactly what i am talking about.

The infamous t-shirt began as a joke. The band’s frontman Dani Filth would recall to Rolling Stone “it was 1993 and we were about to go on tour with norwegian black metal band emperor. We had a different t-shirt at the time it had a picture of my wife who was all done up in black metal regalia and it said the black goddess rises” on it. We needed t oget a new shirt done quickly for the tour. We’d already come up with the vestal mtubation image and phrase but we stil needed a back print for it.”

It was during a discussion amongst the band members about what to put on the back of the shirt that somebody uttered the infamous phrase. ”Jesus is a expletive.” While the band was pushing the boundaries with their t-shirts, they had to find a t-shirt shop that was willing to print the shirt. Every t-shirt shop in band’s hometown of hadleigh (had-la) in suffolk refused to print the shirt, They found one printing shop in another town who agreed to do it on the down low and even gave the screens to the band as they wanted no evidence that the shirts were printed there.

It was estimated that within it’s first six years of release 25,000 shirts had been sold. With so many of those shirts floating around it was only a matter of time before somebody wore the shirt, angered someone and the media covered it and that’s exactly what happened across the UK. So can you be charged with wearing a shirt as offensive as cradle of filth’s? Well kerrang in 1999 would actually interview a law firm about the shirt and they would sate

“You can be charged under obscenity legislation if a t-shirt is capable of being grossly offensive to a certain minority or even special interest group. You can also be charged with wearing something that’s considered to cause harassment, alarm and distress or encourage an altercation.That’s exactly what happened in the UK in the mid 90’s and early 2000’s.

Starting in 1996 a fan of the band named Roy Kenyon who was 29 at the time was arrested by police in London after wearing the shirt in London. Kenyon would be charged with and i quote profane representation under the 1839 act and fined 150 pounds. The following year it would be a member of Cradle of Filth who got into trouble for wearing the shirt. The band was waiting at a ferry terminal in Dover England to take the band to the Netherlands to play at a music festival. Their drummer Nicholas Barker was wearing the shirt while waiting at the terminal. The police charged him with resisting arrest and creating a public disorder. The band would still be able to make their gig as Barker only spend two hours with the police.

The shirt’s transgressions weren’t just limited to Europe as the same year in America a 24 year old record store employee named Andrew Love was arrested for wearing the shirt at a mall in Ocala, Florida. He would be arrested for violating the states obscenity law but the charges would be dropped. Of course religious groups criticized the move with the Caotholic League of America referring to the dropped charges as being and i quote “victory for sickos” and called out the band claiming their songs had numerous references to devil worship.

In 2001 the shirt became a political issue in Scotland as the local provost in glasgow pushed to have the local tower records stop selling the shirts. The store would be raided twice by the police. Tower Records initially fought back but the media coverage would result in the store selling out of the shirts
During the band’s appearance at ozzfest in 2002 and 2003, Sharon Osbourne banned the sale of the shirt. The members of Cradle of Filth would admit that the decision was likely made not because of political correctness or Sharon’s

In 2007 the

#live #throwingcopper #edkowalczyk

I cite my sources and they may differ than other people's accounts, so I don't guarantee the actual accuracy of my videos.

Made up of singer and guitarist Ed Kowalczy, guitarist Chad taylor, bassist Patrick Dahlheimmer and drummer Chad Gracey. The roots of the band dated back to 1984 in York Pennsylvania, where all four members grew up and met. Their musical beginnings started in the 8th grade when Gracey, Taylor and Dahlheimer played in an instrumental band called First Aid. Ed Kowalcyzk was the last member to join after being encouraged by a junior high music teacher to form a band for an eight grade talent show. Kowalcyk ko-WALL-chick originally wanted to join the band as just a guitarist, but they already had someone who played lead. The band knew he could sing and talked him into becoming the singer and rhythm guitar player. His audition would consist of him belting out a Duran Duran tune. Taking the stage name Public Affection they developed into a competent live cover band those early shows saw band play sets heavily consisting of songs by Psychadelic Furs, Violent Femmes, REM, U2, & Bryan Adams. Kowalcysk would tell the LA Times “We all learned a lot from a book about U2,”, referring to the book “Unforgettable Fire” by
Taylor would add “We related (to U2) so much,. “Reading the biography was in many ways like reading a story about ourselves, except with different names.” By 1987 the band started writing their own material and Rockstar fantasies weren’t far from the members minds with Chad Taylor telling the LA Times Ed and I would sit in the back of our classrooms,“and instead of working on, like, calculus, we’d think about the kind of tour bus we’d have.”

While school may have afforded the members a place to daydream it was also instrumental to their success. The members would credit several music teachers with helping them learn song arrangements, orchestration and music theory that they would rely on to craft their songs.
Another piece of the puzzle was their hometown of York, Pennsylvania.
