An incident during Sebastian Bach‘s guest appearance at a Chevy Metal show in Las Vegas has drawn sharp criticism after the former Skid Row frontman launched a profane tirade against a female fan. The outburst, which was captured on video and has since gone viral, has reignited the debate over the relationship between artists and their audience.
According to TMZ, he incident occurred on Friday, September 5, at The Copa Room Bootlegger Bistro. Bach had joined Chevy Metal, a cover band featuring Shane Hawkins (son of the late Taylor Hawkins), to perform a set of classic rock covers. According to eyewitnesses and video footage, the situation escalated when a woman in the audience was reportedly antagonizing Bach, filming him and giving him the middle finger.
The singer’s rage was captured on video as he stopped the show to unleash on the fan from the stage. He shouted: “Hey, this f***ing b***h! Get her the f**k outta here! She comes up while I am talking to my wife, saying; ‘Hey, can Sebastian give me a hug?’, I’m not a f***ing monkey get your f***ing ugly a** the f**k outta here. Get her the f**k outta here! Get the f**k outta here you f***ing cunt. F**k you!”
The incident stemmed from a prior interaction where the fan had allegedly approached Bach‘s wife to ask for a hug, which he had refused. The singer’s on-stage reaction made it clear that he felt his personal space and boundaries were disrespected. The fan was eventually removed from the venue.
This is not the first time Bach has been involved in a volatile public interaction. Over the years, he has gained a reputation for his confrontational behavior with fans, including incidents where he has yelled at audience members for wearing t-shirts of his former band’s replacement singers or for filming his shows
