Mass shootings in the U.S. seem to happen quite often now.
Former Skid Row singer Sebastian has been vocal about the shootings and this time he has once again slammed lawmakers for failing to enact tougher gun laws.
Bach addressed this after a teenager shot five fellow students in a killing rampage at a Southern California high school.
Nathaniel Tennosuke Berhow pulled a gun from his backpack Thursday at Saugus High School in the Los Angeles suburb of Santa Clarita, shot five students at random and then shot himself in the head. He died the following afternoon.
Bach took to Twitter and said:
“Like @deesnider always said: ‘he was a quiet boy.’ Well F*CK being QUIET #F*CKGUNS #f*cktheNRA + f*ck anyone who values a gun over the life of a child” He also added a middle finger emoji.
The following day, Bach weighed in on a Los Angeles Times opinion piece which claimed that “there are five types” of mass shooters. He shared a link to the article and included the commentary: “There is one type. An a*shole with access to a gun in the United States of America. Only.”
Sebastian Bach is currently smashing Skid Row classics live. Sebastian Bach and Skid Row are household names in the history of rock music. Skid Row’s first two albums were instant classics with the band achieving commercial success in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The first two albums titled Skid Row (1989) and Slave to the Grind (1991) were certified multi-platinum. Especially ‘Slave To The Grind’, which touched number one on the Billboard 200. After parting ways with Sebastian Bach, Bach has been playing the songs live with his solo band once in a while. Fans have been craving for a reunion between Skid Row and Sebastian Bach which sadly didn’t happen.

Living proof that the ability to grow hair and scream outrageous lyrics to an auditorium full of “heavy metal” fans is neither necessary nor sufficient to qualify that “hairy screamer” as any sort of political analyst.
Sebastian Bach has fallen victim to the “Dog that barks” theory of defining what is problematic in a society. The question that he apparently never thought of in the VERY public “face” of the phenomenon of “mass public shootings” is… How many times have guns been used in successful defense of innocent lives?
That number is probably in the hundreds of thousands PER YEAR, against the very occasional usage by madmen of guns to commit their HIGHLY publicized crimes. We don’t hear about those defensive actions because MOST of them don’t actually involve FIRING the gun; most such issues are settled by the threatened party simply displaying the gun, and HER attacker suddenly losing interest in whatever it was that he was about to take from HER.
Yeah, I quite deliberately “switched up” the gender of the prospective victim of common street crimes or “home invasion” style robberies, in order to point out exactly what it is that guns in civilian hands actually enable… In practice, the biggest, “baddest” mugger/rapist/thief/murderer is made a lot less powerful against smaller, weaker opponents when said opponents have a gun. In effect, guns function as “playing field EQUALIZERS;” rendering moot the advantage of size that large men have against smaller men and against MOST women.
So the proper question that Bach needs to answer is…
“Why do you so obviously HATE WOMEN, (–and small or old or physically handicapped men,–) that you would want them to be at the mercy of the worst of humanity? Because if you are advocating for stripping them of the TOOLS of effective self defense that guns ARE, that is exactly the reality that you will be imposing on them.”
Yet he forgets that it was guns that made this Country Free. So if he doesn’t like guns, then he can move to a Country that doesn’t allow them. Tell you what Bach, go clean up Chicago with it’s Anti-Gun Laws already in place and I might listen to you.
Been drinking out in that tool shed he calls a recording studio in the backyard again.
This is where guys like Sebastian Bach and Roger Waters lose me… They both may live in this country now and feel as a resident of this country they have a right to speak out on with their own personal political views but with that being said Sebastian is Canadian and Roger is British and they should keep their political views to themselves or they should take those same political views and go back to their respective countries and share those views with the people from those countries… Stick with music and save the politics for the politicians….
Fck Sebastian Bach, he’s a braindead moron.
