RONNIE RADKE ON MISSING LAPTOPS | Aftershock 2022

[@waffles1357]

Blows my mind how many people don’t realize what the laptops are actually for and how much goes into making these shows

[@stevebanning902]

Sad that an entire show is programming to be run from a laptop and they don't have a backup. One of the easiest things to do. There's a reason electronic artists treat their laptops and storage drives like they're carrying gold.

[@CyPhaSaRin]

@@j2kay93 i love it how you're not actually allowed to criticize people for shit these days, like, he's right dude, it's a pretty decent fuck up, they put people out, people have jobs and shit, they have to ask for a day off in advance, and pay a pretty bs ticket price most the time. Its an understandable fuck up, one time, anything beyond that and it's like how weren't these guys more onto it, like it's a lesson to have backups for multiple reasons, that means not keeping them stored together, it means keeping shit on a cloud. The drama will pass, the haters that have been given fuel will fuck off and find something else as equally depressing to do with their time, you'll still have ya band, don't fret, and stop trying to muzzle people.

I'm a 47 old metalhead and I can tell you Sebastian sounds exactly as how elder people reacted to our heavy metal when I was younger. He's terrified of getting older. Our time passes, you old Barbie doll! You should be proud of youngers walking their own paths and being so creative, taking profit of every single resource in their way, the same we did when we were their age!

[@GunnarHx2]

wrong, Wrong, WRONG, bottom line is this: if you cant play your song without any electronic assistance then you are fake and nothing more than a computer programmer, not a musician. PERIOD

[@shawna3350]

​@@GunnarHx2They all play their instruments and sing live. Backing tracks aren't replacing the drums, guitar, and bass sounds or voices of the guys playing and singing at the show. It seems like you are uninformed about how tracks are used by most bands in general and by Falling In Reverse specifically. Obviously, you don't have to like when tracks are used but calling them fake or not musicians is ridiculous. It is quite clear you haven't heard or seen them play.

[@cameronwilburn6830]

​@gunnarhh1377 you sounds dumb. They all play there's own stuff, it's just beats and orchestra on the computer..

[@metalpuppet5798]

​@@GunnarHx2guess what. EVERYTHING you see on the stage is still played live when using tracks. Its exclusively for additional layers like orchestral parts etc that simply cant be played fully live for financial and logistical reasons. You cant tour with that many extra musicians

Don’t let the negative people get to you. They are just plain dumb.

[@951armen]

Thank you guys for defending all bands and fans who try to put on a full experience! Playing live and using laptops just to enhance the show experience! These “real rockers” are just trying to look badass when really they look foolish. yes there are bands that can play without backing tracks. and can do a show without them if need be. But some bands would rather give it their best for the money you spent to see them. Keep it up 🤘

[@QueenVampB]

The fact theres hells angels standing being security is pretty cool

[@ginnibunch1654]

Right?!?! I was honestly surprised no one else commented on that! Lol

[@cindyreighard]

I am a fan of old rock...and new rock. I saw falling in reverse in Nashville on 8/31...and it was amazing. Such energy...so for someone to say that because you use a laptop for the show that you are any less of a musician is beyond me. I am a huge fan of Falling in Reverse...and you are awesome. Keep being you...Ronnie.

[@jareddoran6605]

I have no problem using laptops on stage, for things like click tracks, midi syncing, virtual synths, sampling software, DMX programming, etc. I also have no problem with backing tracks, but I guess what I don't like is when a band completely drowns out their sound with tracks, especially when you could have a lot of those sounds triggered live by having a keyboardist on stage. In FIR's case, they don't do that. They use only an appropriate amount of tracks, and everything else is done right on stage, and they put on a great fucking show

[@djjazzyjeff1232]

Agreed and it happens remarkably often that a band is drowned out by their own tracks. Idk if it's incompetent FOH mixers or what but it's like you've got a good mix otherwise just pull down the fader wtf is wrong with you?? Honestly I think it's because most people can't sing worth a fuck, it's a very rare skill to be able to do it night after night after night. So they just hide the vocal behind everything else including the tracks.

[@april6058]

I’m so glad Ronnie’s getting the support from these guys and his fans; it must mean a lot to him! These old rockers (SB) are trying to seem relevant by getting the spotlight on them, but what they’re saying just makes them look out of touch with rock music today.

[@GSF179]

I’m from the old school but I totally agree with Ronnie and his band is so great. There is so much more on the laptops pertaining to the show, other than backup tracks. I’m so sick Sebastian picking fights with everyone. What an idiot. Ronnie, don’t let them get to you.

[@joannmann5143]

That was great! Ronnie Radke and his band Falling in Reverse Is the best the always give 100% at their concerts and that's why it sounds so good!!

[@brysant_]

Respect to the interviewers who actually know how it works. The guy who initially made these comments is a boomer who is trying to stay relevant by stirring up the community with his skewed perspectives on live music.

[@brysant_]

@AmberB444 I was more or so calling Eddie a boomer in the sense that he has a "old is gold" mentality and anytime you stray away from it, he gets angry and throws a fit on twitter. Kind of like when you call crazy people Karen when their name isn't Karen haha. Turns out he actually is a boomer though. In both senses haha

[@jeremycunningham7897]

Ronnie is absolutely right with this. Good luck to him!

[@nightmarishcompositions4536]

I always thought people fighting over what's 'real' rock or metal was incredibly stupid and childish. I can love and appreciate anything from black metal, death metal, industrial metal, 70's and 80's heavy metal, power metal, metalcore, viking metal, etc. There's so many different genres that can unite millions of people with different tastes under the same label. That's a beautiful thing that no other genre can accomplish.

Music is going to always evolve into something that is more interesting for the listener to it and yes it is an important thing to remember when you’re in the music business, if you have the latest technology then you will lose out on a lot of value in the music that you are creating, but you may as well upset about sound boards or electronic keyboards or whatever the hell else you use to create music has CONSTANTLY EVOLVED AND THE POINT IS THE MUSIC, and nothing else matters about it, Tool uses track every single big deal bands are Using tracks!

[@connoriquada5429]

Ronnie had a point with the popular monster bit there at the beginning. People complaining about how they had to cancel based off a laptop obviously never actually really listened to the band. I’m sure they could have gone on stage and done their best with what they had, but it would have felt half assed. Not the full experience. People woulda been pissed if they paid full price for that. I think they made the right call ngl. As long as people got their money back it’s no harm done, other than disappointment I ‘spose.

[@musik-gaming9494]

nothing gets me more excited for a song than "thisll make them shut the fuck up"

[@1905C7]

Just because musicians these days use laptops during live performances doesn’t mean they’re not real rockers. Being one myself I know how important it is for a modern day musician to have a laptop on stage. We don’t use it for autotune, lip synching. We need that for clicks, layers, ambient , monitors . Everything. Can’t believe all those old rock stars would just look down on today’s technology. If it was like the band used laptop for the wrong reasons I’d agree But this is useless

My gripe is the crowd that is saying rock is dead is the same crowd that is excluding metal and modern music as be accepted as rock, even though there's big "Rock BaNdS" that claim to not use back tracks to appease their overlords and have had friends help with their sound and say they use a motherload of backtracks. Personally, I don't want to be associated as a Rock artist. I play and make Metal music, make hiphop beats and make music on my Eurorack and synth gear, I am the FURTHEST thing from a "Rock" musician.
