Go get him Sebastian!

Ken Tamplin makes me laugh especially when he changes lyrics because he’s one of those weird Christian’s

Sebastian’s always good for a quote.

It would be funny if Skid Row got Ken Tamplin as their next lead singer of the month.

This doesn't happen very often but Sebastian's rant is justified. Checked out Ken Tamplin's wiki ( he's actually got one, wow) and he's cousins with Sammy Hagar. I wonder if Sammy knows this? The guy is a clown.

Tamplin is a cousin to former Van Halen frontman Sammy Hagar.[11] Hagar said of Tamplin in an interview: "I've only met him once. But you know, he sends me his records and all that stuff."[11]

I read that but no source was cited. Let go do some searching outside of wiki.

He seems to have beefs with those in the Christian scene.

Did a little...very little found (about 4 pages of hits that all mention this same statement). I'd bet Sam might have met him less than one time.

He’s not wrong. Reminds me of edgelord YouTube drummers and musicians who shit on Lars. Oh, you can play faster and more consistent in your basement? Cool, go write the entire Metallica catalog and perform it to coliseums full of people for a few decades.

And Ken Tamplin is a bitch. A miming vocal instructor. Can’t make this shit up

Team Seabass.

I so agree. All these guys duplicate drummers, and everyone seems to think there amazing. So they can copy someone else work. Ok, now lets see what you can do by yourself.

Exactly. Technically impressive musicians are a dime a dozen. What did you create and who did you inspire? Just from my own experience doing covers, I never lose sight of “You learned it and played it. These folks invented it. Big difference.”

Thats funny. Just the other night I happened to watch this guy's breakdown of Sebastian's singing on Wasted Time. I know next to nothing about singing, but this guy seemed to be competent. He interjected/paused the video far too much in my opinion though. It is a lesson and not a reaction so I guess I shouldn't complain. Is it me, or besides the hair isn't this guy's personality eerily similar to Tamplin's?

I'd forgotten how good of a vocal performance that song was.
