No one likes to be criticised, but when you're a professional musician it's probably best to try and grow a thick skin - you can't always please everyone. This is a lesson that Skid Row icon Sebastian Bach should probably try to learn, after a bitter rant he made online has gone viral.
After a recent review of a recent concert in Georgia, Bach hit out at the writer as a "complete loser" and telling him to "stay the fuck away from me if you know what's good for you."
Don De Leaumont in his review for The Great Southern Brainfart slammed Bach's vocals as "so off key that I was waiting for Randy Jackson to come out saying, 'Yo dawg, that was a little pitchy.'"
He added: "It was really painful to see how this guy who at one time was one of my favorite metal singers in one of my favorite metal bands reduced down to such a circus side show. Even his band for the most part all had this look of disdain on their faces like they were barely happy to be even picking up a pay check from this gig."
Ouch.
Bach then took it pretty personally, writing on their Facebook post "stay the fuck away from me if you know what's good for you," and adding "I will tell every band I know to keep you off the fucking list of every show that you ever want to get into."

So lessons to be learned: either grow a thick skin, ignore haters or take things with a little more grace
