Ex-SKID ROW frontman Sebastian Bach has revealed that he no longer pays attention to online chatter, explaining that he has far better ways to spend his time than reading comment sections.
In a recent interview with Jason Irwin of RadioRadioX.com, Bach was asked how he deals with “all the social media noise,” particularly regarding his former band. He admitted (as transcribed by Blabbermouth): “I don’t even care about social media. I use social media to promote my shows. It doesn’t mean anything. It’s, like, nothing. It’s like a big nothing. I promote my concerts and I let fans know that I got a new record out.
“It’s been years since I bothered reading a comment section or whatever,” he continued. “I have better things to do with my time than [to read online comments].
Reflecting on the early days of the internet, he added: “Let me just say this, though: when the Internet first came out, none of us knew what the hell it was. So, 10, 15 years ago, yeah, I was reading comments and threatening people to fight down at the Chick-fil-A and meet me at 4:30. And then I go, why am I wasting my time? And I think nowadays people are realizing that the really cool people are not on the Internet. It’s a place for f**king losers. I think people are getting that. Nobody really cool is on there typing s**t. It’s all a bunch of jealous f**king losers that have nothing else to do… I mean, I like looking at s**t like old videos that are posted of bands I like, like ROSE TATTOO. I love all the KISS stuff — I’m a collector — but as far as reading what Jimmy from Iowa thinks of my new video, I don’t give a f**k.”
Bach is currently gearing up for his 2026 North American headlining tour, “The Party Never Ends”, which kicks off February 26 in Highland, California at Yaamava’ Casino. Joining him as direct support is STITCHED UP HEART, a band Bach handpicked back in 2020 for a tour celebrating the debut SKID ROW album. That tour was ultimately canceled due to COVID, making this pairing a long-awaited reunion for fans.
