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
