The Day in Rock Digest for 2/22/11: Former Skid Row vocalist Sebastian Bach pulled an Axl by taking to Twit Longer to get some things off his chest: "I can't believe it when so called 'fans' go out of their way to say hurtful rotten bullsh*t to people that I care about, ONLY because I care about them. You know who you are. You are in no way a 'fan' if you think that I do not deserve happiness in my life. There are no 'home wreckers' in my life. My home has been 'wrecked' since last April. I am f**king divorced. I did not date any girls at all until after the divorce papers were filed in a court of law." more

Reader Rant: Finally, something called Vyxyn wrote us a long rambling rant about our "My Chemical Sellout" headline, due to the fact that the group had licensed their music to auto-tuned geeks of Glee. While none of Vyxyn's points were valid, it was correct that we were wrong to call them sellouts since you have to start from a baseline of artistic integrity to technically be a sellout. Our bad.
