Sebastian Bach, former lead hairbanger from Poison had a little meltdown on Facebook. No one really cares. His 40+ year old housewife fan base is not there for the music but more for his looks.
He got some heat (very little really since again.. he’s far past prime) for his latest release “Big Guns” and the CD/DVD combo “aBACHalyps Now”. I sorta dig the “aBACHalyps” bit but really, Sebby needs to chill. The scandal is over Pro Tool/Auto Tune. Fans are suggesting that the singer used them to enhance himself on this recording. His Facebook rant is hilarious, enjoy!
Fact #1: I do not use Auto Tune. I don’t even know what it is. My sound man uses delay and reverb on my voice. Just like Rob Halford (JUDAS PRIEST) on Unleashed in the East. I dig Halford’s sound. If you have a problem with delay, or reverb, complain to Rob.
“Fact #2: I do not use ProTools in a live situation. I do not know of any singer who uses Pro Tools live. Pro Tools are used when recording albums.
“What you are hearing in this video is exactly this: a live performance. With me making a CD out of this audio, I went into the studio and stood still and sang, fixing some parts of the song where I am running around a stage the size of a football field. In other words, I made a CD that you could listen to as well as watch. Like every live CD that I personally own.
“The internet is such a f**king joke. Idiots bitch and moan and comment under YouTube cellphone clips and say ‘This doesn’t sound like the record.’ Then, when you make an actual record, the comments are ‘This sounds too much like the record.’ Oh well. This page is for people who enjoy rock n’ roll music. If you don’t like it, it’s so f**king easy for me to ban you from the page and keep it a cool place for people who dig rock. There’s about a half a million of us on here. Don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out.”
Alrighty, that clears it up. C’mon y”all leave the geezer alone. He’s just trying to pay some bills off his former career, its like making fun of your grandpa or something. Just smile and let him do his thing. It won’t be long now.
