Skid Row -yhtyeen riveissä 80- ja 90-lukujen taitteessa maineeseen noussut laulaja Sebastian Bach ja showpainijana paremmin tunnettu, omaa Fozzy-yhtyettään kipparoiva Chris Jericho ovat ajautuneet tuliseen välienselvittelyyn sosiaalisen median puolella. Kaikki alkoi siitä, kun Twitter-käyttäjä huomautti, että Jericho alkaa muistuttaa habitukseltaan päivä päivältä enemmän Bachia.
Every single day for the last two or three years somebody tells me this 🤔

Bach vastasi kuulevansa samaa päivittäin.
Good looking guys are good looking guys. What else can we say dude! https://t.co/Zpl47t1E05

Jericho otti kommentin kohteliaisuutena ja vastasi kommenttiin selkeästi pilke silmäkulmassa, mutta sitten jutustelu siirtyikin ykskaks yllättäen synkemmille vesille. Bach alkoi nimittäin syyttää Jerichoa huulisynkkauksesta.

You know he tours with his band, right? I've seen him live a couple of times. He's not lip syncing.

Cool let's see a clip of that then because every single clip I have seen is Milli vanilli

Tästähän Jericho innostui, ja ryhtyi vertailemaan muusikoiden listasijoituksia ja Spotify-kuuntelukertoja.
Hi… I’m Chris “Milli Vanilli” Jericho. I have 5 top 30 singles in the last five years w my band @FOZZYROCK. I’m a huge fan of @sebastianbach … who had 3 top 30 singles 30 years ago. I always admired him as a singer and a friend! And I still do. https://t.co/fTPGmzBtSq

Wow! My band is more popular than @sebastianbach !! #lipsynchers https://t.co/eRQ4Bgq8Zq

Seuraavaksi Fozzy-kitaristi Rich Ward saapui puolustamaan yhtyetoveriaan toteamalla, että tämä on aina siviilissä puhunut pelkkää hyvää Bachista.
2/2 Jericho is loyal and was always quick to defend a guy that he considered a friend. Seeing Sebastian publicly go after the only guy that I have ever witness utter a nice word about him is sad.

Lopuksi miekkoset alkoivat järjestellä mittelöä, jolla olisi tarkoitus ratkaista, kumpi herroista onkaan se kovempi laulaja näillä main. Tuskin maltamme odottaa, kuinka tässä lopulta käy.
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.

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. https://t.co/dPoecJGdF7 pic.twitter.com/Mm28RE9i0Q
— Sebastian Bach™️ (@sebastianbach) July 16, 2020
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! https://t.co/U2hV7jjg42
