A real awkward moment occurred during a recent interview in which Sebastian Bach participated, when he reacted angrily to an offensive comment about his friend Rob Halford .
While participating in the Sex, Drugs & Rock n' Roll Show with comedian Big Jay Oakerson , Bach was talking about his vocal warm-up before a show, and that he learned Halford didn't do any preparation, which left him astonished. From that moment, Big Jay suggests that Rob's exercise is "probably something gay that he doesn't want to admit," and that it involves "gargling semen."
Following the comment, Bach angrily questioned, “Dude, is there any way you can not ruin this interview? Honestly, Rob Halford is a friend of mine, so spare me the comments. Maybe you should skip those kinds of comments.” The artist tried to continue the interview while other presenters participated in the program, but Bach simply left the call.
In response to the episode, Halford spoke out on the same show, stating, “Let me say three things: I was on Zoom with Sebastian the other day and it was typical Sebastian, he couldn’t get Zoom to work, and he had to do that thing where you put your face right in front of the camera and you’re looking up at his nostril, and he’s yelling at his wife, yelling at his kids, and it’s complete pandemonium, and we were trying to get it to connect, and it connected. We had a great conversation, he’s an amazing guy, so much fun.”
“The second thing is: I don’t gargle, I swallow,” Rob replied humorously about the comment that upset Bach. “And the third thing is, I’ve always wanted to be the target of a joke show about me, so if you guys ever want to tear me apart, I’d love it.”
