Chris Jericho doesn’t lip-sync and he just proved it by singing one of his favorite songs, one that also happens to be performed by his recent adversary Sebastian Bach.
Jericho brought out the “Big Guns” and posted the following video to Twitter, singing an acapella version of Skid Row’s “Youth Gone Wild” from the band’s 1989 self-titled debut album. The performance is a not-so-subtle shot at Bach, who recently ripped on Jericho and accused him of “miming” his live performances when singing with FOZZY.
The interaction initially started on friendly terms, as a fan said Jericho was starting to look like Bach and the “Demo God” took it as a compliment, saying good looking people need to stick together. Things took a turn after Bach replied to another post claiming Jericho was guilty of miming to a tape during his performances, and it blew up from there. Jericho ultimately said he took issue with Bach’s derogatory remarks and would “fucking sing in [his] face anytime, anyplace.” Jericho said he considered Bach a friend before that and always defended him but warned the former Skid Row frontman not to question his rock abilities again.
The way things are going, it might be 18 and life before these two patch things up.

Jericho recently spoke with WrestleZone Managing Editor Bill Pritchard about his endeavors in and out of the ring, which includes the appropriately-titled KISS cover band, Kuarantine. While most of the country has been at home under quarantine, Jericho linked up with drummer Kent Slucher (Luke Bryan), Joe McGinness and PJ Farley (Trixter) for their first song together, a cover of KISS’ “No No No” from their 1987 album Crazy Nights.
Following that session, Kuarantine later recruited former KISS guitarist Bruce Kulick for their second song, Heart Of Chrome, available now. Jericho says the project is a perfect example of how people are staying creative here in the “COVID-19 era” and noted that the project probably wouldn’t have happened if everyone wasn’t stuck at home. The FOZZY frontman said he saw this project as the perfect way for a band to put out new content and entertain people while adding a fun twist.
“The best thing about it is I’ve never even met the guitar player. It just shows how you can make music now just doing it from home. Just connecting and like you said, staying creative during a pandemic so you don’t lose your mind and fall into the ‘Groundhog Day’ mentality, which I never subscribe to. It’s been really cool. We’ve gotten a lot of steam,” Jericho said, “we’re getting airplay all across the states now. We’ve got almost 100,000 views on the video in a short time. People are just looking for stuff to do and we got no problems giving them that.”
