SEBASTIAN BACH, GEOFF TATE Comment On MICHAEL JACKSON's Passing - June 29, 2009

Former SKID ROW frontman Sebastian Bach and QUEENSRŸCHE singer Geoff Tate have commented on the passing of pop music legend Michael Jackson, who died Thursday (June 25) at age 50.

Sebastian Bach: "Another angel down... I am very sorry for my friend Jermaine's [Jackson, Michael's brother] loss. I lived with Jermaine for three weeks last year [during the filming of the second season of CMT's hit series, 'Gone Country'], and we talked about his brother frequently. He said to me, 'When you cut up my brother, you're cutting up me'. I feel for the Jackson family, because I know all too well how they feel. Unfortunately."

Geoff Tate (via Noisecreep): "I grew up listening to Michael Jackson, watching him and his brothers perform on television. He made performing seem easy and inspired my generation with his music and his grace. He was one of a kind and will be missed but his music will live forever."

	I cannot believe that Sebastian Bach used another persons death to 'inadvertantly' plug his newest album. You're a washed up creep Sebastian...you really, truly are.

	....I've turned down all media requests for comment on the passing of Jacko. Sebastian and Geoff should have done the same.

	I love how everybody and their brother is coming out of the woodwork to officially comment on Jackson's passing. I'm sure I'm in the minority with this but I think MJ was a great entertainer, however, I truly believe he did what he was accused of and bought his way out of it, plain and simple. Therefore, good ridance. No sorrow from me. I can't feel sorrow for the passing of someone that I feel did those horrible things.

	soo.. where do you get off charging 200 dollars a ticket to come watch your show? seriously. Michael Jackson didn't even charge that much for most of the seating.

	"feel for the Jackson family, because I know all too well how they feel. Unfortunately." I don't remember any "Bach 5" tunes, nor do I remember any of your siblings being famous or dead, or talented for that matter. Only a dildo wants in where he doesn't belong.

	Billy Mays, legend. RIP I think MJ used the Oxyclean to bleach his skin

	Didn't like him in life and the same applies now!

	RIP MJ

	I thought the same damn thing about Bach's comment. I winced with the embarassment that he should've felt.

	Bach's younger brother carved out a fairly decent career as a back up goalie in the NHL Baz is still a dick though

	Anyone else see irony in the song, "smooth criminal". This guy's career died long before he did. Can we all STOP PRETENDING TO FUCKING CARE.
