Sebastian Bach has engaged in a Twitter feud with Chris Jericho over allegations that the FOZZY frontman uses pre-recorded vocal tracks during live performances. The exchange began on Wednesday (July 15), when one fan commented on the social media platform that Jericho "is starting to look like" the former SKID ROW singer, with Sebastian weighing in: "Every single day for the last two or three years somebody tells me this" After another person told Sebastian, " You partied too much Jericho has you beat", Bach came back with "He definitely does considering that he mimes to a tape". A third fan told Sebastian: "You know [Chris] tours with his band, right? I've seen him live a couple of times. He's not lip syncing", to which, Bach replied: "Cool let's see a clip of that then because every single clip I have seen is Milli vanilli," referring to the duo which infamously had to return their Grammy Awards more than 30 years ago after it was revealed they didn't sing on their album. A short time later, Jericho, who made his name as a wrestler before starting FOZZY, wrote in a tweet: "I've seen the derogatory comments towards me from somebody I considered to be a friend. So with that in mind, I'll be happy to have a SING OFF w @sebastianbach ! No effects, no tuning, no bullshit. Bas is a great singer...but I'm better. You've got my number dude. Call me." Bach then shot back: "Where is the derogatory comment? All I asked is to see one single clip of you singing live. 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." Chris responded: "I've never mimed anything ever! And I don't use *** in a tweet 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! And leave wrestling out of this...I can hit a G4 brah!" Bach then wrote: "You're full of s*** bro. Check your texts set up The Sing-Off I am ready when you are" Another Jericho fan took the FOZZY vocalist's side, writing: "Take it as a compliment Champion - your singing is so spot on it sounds like the record Red heart", prompting Bach to respond: "That's because the record is fake and the live show is fake" Yet another person wrote: "Dont eeeeeevvvvverrr question the ayatollah of rock and rolla", which was met with "The Ayatollah of rock and rolla doesn't know anything about rock and rolla" from Bach. Sebastian, who has been outspoken about rock bands using pre-recorded backing tracks during live shows, then added: "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." When a Twitter user pointed out that Sebastian is "trending" on the platform, Bach wrote: "I don't know why I'm trending I'm just drunk sitting alone in my bed" Jericho has long been suspected of relying on backing tapes during FOZZY's live performances. When the band played in Canada in November 2018, several concert-goers accused Jericho of singing along to pre-recorded tracks. After a video of FOZZY's Toronto gig surfaced online, former SKID ROW frontman Sebastian Bach weighed in, writing from his personal Facebook account: "Wow he mimes to a tape very well"
