Sebastian Bach has responded to guitarist Ted Nugent, after Nugent called the former Skid Row frontman “weak” because of his problems with alcohol.
The singer recently revealed he was sober after 25 years, but Nugent was still highly critical of the frontman’s lifestyle.
Nugent said, “Sebastian Bach is a great guy. I love the guy and he’s incredibly gifted and a gentleman for the most part – but he’s weak. He doesn’t understand the concept of the body as a sacred temple. He doesn’t understand accountability and he doesn’t understand how his indulgences and his poisons ruin his life, his marriage and his musical capabilities.”
In response, Bach tweeted, “Being a racist is f–king weak.”
Nugent previously called US President Barack Obama a “subhuman mongrel” and had a gig pulled after a promoter said they didn’t want their “casino to be used as a venue for racist attitudes and views.”
In 2012, Bach told Metal-Rules.com, “Ted’s political beliefs and social opinions overshadow how great a guitar player he is – a lot of people are disgusted by him. People don’t like racism, but he says some things that are straight from the 50s.”
Bach has lined-up four shows in the US, starting on September 26th in Arizona to support his latest album Give ‘Em Hell.
Sebastian Bach tour dates:
September 26th Tempe, AZ
September 27 Tucson, AZ AVA Amphitheater
December 18th Chicago, Illinois Cubby Bear
December 20th Diesel Concert Lounge Chesterfield, MI

So sick of hearing about what heroes these guys from the 70’s and 80’s are because they stopped partying. Are these guys special or something ? Are we supposed to bow down to them now that they don’t drink? Why does Eddie Trunk mention in every Ace Frehely story he has been sober and celebrating 8 years? Has this site turned into Alcoholic’s Eddie Trunk Anonomous?
Oh, you mentioned Ace- Mr. Trunk will be pissed!
WELCOME TO THE CLASH OF THE 1000 SEAT VENUE TITANS. Who cares about either one of these guys or their politics? STRANGLEHOLD is awesome but that was 35 years ago. The YOUTH GONE WILD now looks like the guy from HIGHLANDER who has to be 60+ years old. neither one of these guys deserve anybodys attention let alone hard earned milk money. Frehley is always a great interview and Trunk is a great interviewer so why not compliment a guy that makes this site and TMS work well you dunce?
Hey MilkMoron
I did not say anything about Frehely not giving a fine interview, I said Eddie needs to calm down with the guy being sober every ten seconds. Everybody knows he is Sober, If you wan’t too kiss everybody’s ass and act like a B good luck to you Fool!
Can we all please calm down with the personal insults and try playing nice? Thank you 🙂
Your faithful monitor,
D 🙂
I’m with MILKMONEY and thank God for him, solid head on his shoulders. I’m a pro Paul and Gene guy but I respect Eddies treatment of Ace and Peter. This site is probably 60% KISS and that’s cool, in that Eddie has a direct line to 2 guys who have an argument, right or wrong. Why are you enraged that a guy with a problem corrected it? God be with you Ace, the Bronx will always love your work.
He really does look like Chris Lamber from Highlander…that’s funny. Both have about the same longevity as well. Compliment to Bach
I think they should do a cover of One Bourbon One Scotch and One Beer together.
DR, I love that song! Thorogood rocks! 😉
Doug you strike me as a George T kinda guy. I drink alone was always my favourite.
DR, not saying this because of what you said, but I’ve been told quit a few times I resemble George, a lot! My Thorogood favorite’s are the previous 2 mentioned, “Move It On Over”, “Bad To The Bone”, “Gear Jammer”, “If You Don’t Start Drinkin'”, and “Rockin’ My Life Away”. The guy just loves to party & have a good time, my kinda rocker! 😉
DOUG, stop the nonsense. Be honest. Remember we meet each other at that BARBARA STREISAND concert back in the 2000s. You look like the folk singer PAUL WILLIAMS or a short heavyset JOHN DENVER or OLIVER from THE BRADY BUNCH. All handsome guys in their own right. Stop with the George Thorogood look-a-like crap and listen to a real friend. God made you in his image Doug. That’s alright. That’s okay. Let’s turn the page.
Richman, you obviously have me confused with another Doug. I wouldn’t be caught dead at a Barbara Streisand concert, or anybody else you mentioned. I’m proud of the fact that I look a lot like George Thorogood, God only knows who you must look like. Maybe you should take my advice Richman, stay away from the Milk-dud, I think he’s been rubbing off on you, and not in a good way, fuggedaboutit.
I look like Ted Kennedy.
I’ve been told I look like Russel Crowe–heh, heh! But of course that couldn’t be true. I’ve also been told I look like Jeff Bridges and John Ritter. Still, I can’t wait to hear what Richman says! Lol!!
If this jeopardizes Damnocracy’s world tour, I’ll be pissed.
I thought it was the Savage Animal tour?
Not FIST? As in five fingers for five guys in the band? But who would be the thumb?
F’n hilarious. We’ll done Sir.
They are both weak, put them in a ring and see who comes out on top. Put up or shut up.
