Former SKID ROW singer Sebastian Bach has told TheRecord.com that he has become more outspoken on gun control in the wake of the spate of deadly mass shootings the country's seen over the last decade "I've lost friends on Facebook for sticking up for gun control," he said. "I can't take it," he continued. "We literally wake up in fear. Was there a school shooting or fascist rally? Did a nuclear bomb get dropped?"

All of that news, constantly, day after day, week after week, it gets me down and it gets me in a bad mood. "I don't know about everybody else, but when I read about nuclear war, I find it hard to get on with my day," he added. "I thought we got rid of that nuclear war conversation in the '70s! It gets [me] very sad and angry at the same time. Climate change makes me angry. It makes me mad that people deny that when the world is fucked. It makes me furious." Sebastian recently confirmed that he was preparing to make the follow-up to his 2014 album "Give 'Em Hell".
