Though Skid Row's ex frontman Sebastian Bach has been outspoken about his conservative views, fans were caught by surprise when Sebastian Bach stunned fans today by tweeting a tirade against President Donald Trump.
On Wednesday, the 18 and Life singer expressed his personal stance on Trump. Not only did Bach blast Trump for not believing in science, he accused the president of allegedly putting an end to rock and roll, and his responses to some of his detractors this morning proves that he has no intention of backing down.

His original inflammatory tweet read: "If you support Donald Trump, you stand against rock n' roll and every musician in America who has been put out of work because a reality television show host doesn't believe in science."
When @ZacharyRohloff accused the Angel Down musician of being wrong via GIF, Bach responded by posting a political cartoon by artist Mike Luckovich. The image is of Trump's golf swing turning into a spiking coronavirus graph.
@JimDickey99 argued, "Blame your state governors. They run the states. That's how this country runs." Bach disagreed and stated, "No, I blame the president that does not believe in science."
@KellyFalk2 pointed out that the Give 'Em Hell artist wasn't out of work. She tweeted, "Bands are releasing new music; having concerts online or drive-in theater concerts."
Bach replied explicitly, "Every musician in America is out of work. F*** Donald Trump and if you support Donald Trump, f*** you."

@RNewcomer99 wanted the Youth Gone Wild singer to stay out of politics. He said, "Nothing has caused more friction and fan loss than politics."
Bach disagreed and wrote, "Actually nothing has caused more fan loss than Donald Trump not believing in science and ending rock and roll. Take your head out of your ass and get a breath of fresh air."
About two years, Bach explained to The Record what happened when he expressed his conservative views on gun control on social media. He said, "I've lost friends on Facebook for sticking up for gun control."
While giving his political take, the heavy metal singer admitted to voting for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election. He continued, "I don't understand how anybody would accept a reality show host as president instead of a politician. It's insanity. It's like starting a band and your first show is at Toronto SkyDome. You gotta build up to it."
At the beginning of the '90s, Bach was pictured wearing a controversial T-shirt with an insensitive AIDS-related statement. His shirt said, "AIDS Kills F**s Dead."
Bach told the Los Angeles Times, "I understand it's not cool to make fun of death. I guess nobody gets my jokes. Anyway, a kid threw (the shirt) on stage, I put it on, and all these people got mad at me. But let me just state this--I do not know, condone, comprehend or understand homosexuality in any way, shape, form or (laughs) size."
Newsweek reached out to a representative of Bach for comment but did not hear back before publication.
