Sebastian Bach Ejects Fan Mid-Show After Heated Outburst

Sebastian Bach made headlines over the weekend following a fiery altercation with a fan during a performance with Chevy Metal in Las Vegas on Friday, September 5. The former Skid Row frontman was guesting with the rock cover band, originally formed by late Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins, when the incident took place.

Fan-recorded footage quickly surfaced online, capturing Bach interrupting the show to lash out at a woman in the crowd. “This f—ing b—-, get her the f— out of here,” he yelled. The outburst came after the woman reportedly approached him while he was speaking to his wife and asked for a hug. Visibly irritated, Bach shouted, “I’m not a f—ing monkey,” before continuing to insult her and demanding security remove her from the venue.

As the band launched into a cover of Jane’s Addiction’s “Mountain Song,” Bach raised his middle finger toward the fan and called her a deeply offensive slur.

What Sparked the Onstage Rant?

While Bach’s reaction appeared sudden to some, witnesses suggest the tension had been brewing during the performance. A report from TMZ claimed the woman had been antagonizing the singer—filming him, flipping him off, and allegedly disrupting the performance.

Shortly after the video spread online, a Facebook user named Cat Garafola commented on a post from Rock N Roll Experience, identifying herself as the woman in question. “Hi all. I’m the bitch!” she wrote, alongside a photo that appeared to show Bach mid-performance with a raised middle finger in the frame—though it’s unclear who the gesture belonged to.

Bach’s team has not yet issued a public statement regarding the incident, though Loudwire has reportedly reached out for comment.

A Pattern of Confrontation

This is far from the first time Sebastian Bach has clashed with audience members. His most infamous onstage altercation occurred during a 1989 Skid Row concert when a fan threw a bottle at his head. Bach retaliated by throwing the bottle back—striking an innocent bystander—and then leaped into the crowd to confront the original offender.

In the years since, Bach has become known for halting performances to call out or eject fans for behavior he perceives as disrespectful or disruptive. Whether you see it as passion or volatility, one thing is clear: Bach remains as unapologetically confrontational as ever.
