Apparently, you are supposed to support the party of Big Government if you support rock and roll
Skid Row’s Sebastian Bach: ‘If you support Donald Trump you stand against rock ‘n’ roll’
Former Skid Row frontman Sebastian Bach was trending on Thursday morning after he tweeted, “If you support Donald Trump you stand against rock ‘n’ roll†— a post that he had pinned to the top of his Twitter page, just in case anyone missed it in the middle of the night. He then doubled down with a spree of angry replies to the MAGA supporters who bashed him.
This election year, Bach’s anti-Trump comments have become more frequent. In March, he defended NBC News White House correspondent Peter Alexander after Trump called Alexander a “terrible reporter” for asking the president to address Americans who are afraid during the pandemic. “The United States of America is Over until further notice. There is no end in sight,†a seemingly outraged Bach tweeted. “Our reality TV show host leader is a petulant little baby who doesn’t believe in science when it’s science and science only that will get us out of this science fiction novel. He is killing us.†More recently, Bach tweeted that Trump supporters are “complete f***ing idiots” and “only a moron would vote for Donald Trump this November.â€
Bach is not the only ’80s metal star to express his anti-Trump views. Motley Crüe’s Tommy Lee and Nikki Sixx are not fans of the current president either. But Bach’s above-mentioned friend Axl Rose is the most vocal of the bunch, so much so that the hashtag “#wokeaxl†often trends on social media. Earlier this month, the Guns N’ Roses star posted a lengthy rant about his “disdain for our current administration,†acknowledging that not all GNR fans will agree with his political opinions, but explaining, “In general my posts in regard to current events, politics or social issues are usually coming from a sense of outrage, obligation, and responsibility to say something at times when I feel not to is being complicit.â€
He also tweeted out “I vote for a guy who can put children in school and Americans in work. That is Joe Biden not the f*** ass loser that you support.”
Interesting. Rock and roll used to stand as counter culture, for freedom, against government dominance.
I wonder if Sebastian would now take the side of Al Gore's wife and the PRMC against freedom of speech https://t.co/8mM8CtcA5L

Think about it: that’s what R&R was about. Rebellion. Fun. Sticking it to The Man. Doing things your own way. Not bending to government. Sex, drugs, rock and roll. Now so many, including Bach (for those of you old enough, remember when the magazine Rolling Stone was pure counter-culture?), stand for massive Big Government controlling our lives. Not just telling us how to live our lives, but making us live a certain way. How does Bach tour without fossil fuels, which Biden wants to do away with? The guy who sang “Youth Gone Wild” is now the adult shaking his fist, wanting Daddy government to control everything. Joining with the mainstream government forces.
Seriously, can you imagine the PMRC hearings these days, with ageing rockers like Axl Rose, Tommy Lee, and Bach taking the side of censorship?
Meanwhile, apparently there’s raaaaacism in improv comedy, classical music, and and opera. Because why not, it’s 2020.
