Emmure Interview | Acacia Strain Beef | Riff Raff Feature | Gun Control?

Frankie Palmeri sat down with us to talk about The Eternal Enemies Tour with Acacia Strain, his recent feature with Riff Raff, and some controversial issues among America and censorship

[@hike88]

love franki.....he's not the guy everyone try's to make him out to be. the genere is already miss understood and then media always adds to the fire. I have litterally walked up to him 3 times at 3 diffrent shows and just started bull shitting with him. he loves his fans and he loves to just kick it with ppl. mayham fest 2013 he litterally walked into the crowed in the upper seating section with the whole band and sat down in empty seats to watch zombie, hella ppl came up and wanted shit signned and to get pictures and none of them even hesitated to ignore or turn anyone away. they litterally sat there the whole time signning shit and kicking it.

[@chuffinjackpot]

[@dannymanchego4032]

+chuffinjackpot wtf is wrong with you?

[@StevieCzykPN]

I met him briefly after a show in Tempe, AZ. He was suuuper chill, humble, didn’t make me feel like I was wasting his time at all, etc. When we were done talking, my nervous ass (holding down my fanboy as hard as possible) decided we were high fiving, but it was one of those perfectly crisp, loud ones. We both looked back and gave each other that look, like.. we knew that was the tightest high-five ever. Lmao

[@joshhale9355]

I think Frankie's really grown up. I'm still not a huge fan of Emmure, they've just kinda bored me since Felony, but I feel like I can respect him now. Also really happy that feud with TAS was dropped so people can leave it now.

[@ConnorRae]

I saw Emmure on the tour with Acacia Strain, and that was an awesome show \m/

[@Trevor9849]

[@yetisenpai8068]

[@WMcDerm10]

Frankie has a beast vocabulary

[@chuffinjackpot]

u clearly dont

[@WMcDerm10]

2 months of college left get a life

[@youtuberobbedmeofmyname]

That's pretty embarassing. Using "beast" with your level of education.

[@drakefrzn]

hope you built up that vocabulary buddy

[@neonblack612]

Always been a semi fan of emmure... loved the music they put out, but hated frankie for years cause the guy was ayoung arrogant prick back in the day. This interview though... dude has grown up and actually seems super chill. Good interview and well thought out talking points.. kudos guys.

[@lightbearer.94]

Well spoken guy

[@DynamicSphinx]

Emmure is the counterfeit version of The Acacia Strain.

[@TheOmegaPattern]

Hence Skynet haha.

[@chuffinjackpot]

youre the counterfit version of.....me....so...there it is

[@nvlvs9509]

his interview is a copy of vincent

[@danielbetz3184]

Yeah but they aren't even half as good

[@patefutch1063]

DynamicSphinxxx they were basically a strain cover band lol Vincent and the original line up used to crash at my house when they would play Wilmington NC years ago. The last time they stayed they parked their bus in my parents neighbors yard and hung out for the night and ate dinner and all that good stuff lol true story

[@davidode8925]

Did he just say Stitches? Please tell me he didn't say stitches!

[@chuffinjackpot]

im surprised...youre surprised..u know what i mean? lol....makes perfect sense to me

[@chuffinjackpot]

rtuhsrtysrty yeah he is ignant...god i hate ignant people...so fucking ignant

[@michaeloltmann881]

this interview is old I know.saw them at warp tour last year.his demeanour is a dick.some people just are.if u have had all those different band members quit.u should be looking at your self.its worked out for the best though.THE LAST CD IS GREAT

[@trippler786]

Did Frankie just compare his band to the human centipede? Does this mean Emmure is the human centipede of the metalcore scene?

[@youtuberobbedmeofmyname]

trippler786 Deathcore

[@pillarsofserpents]

Feuds should remain in rap music, not rock/metal/hardcore/punk.

[@hunterpalmer2200]

Nevermind the fact that feuds in the rock/metal scenes have existed since before rap was a thing. way to go.

[@pillarsofserpents]

+Hunter Palmer Did I say that rock and metal didn't have feuds in the 70s and 80s? NO. I just said that they SHOULD only exist in rap music, not rock. Don't try and bury me without reading what I actually said.

[@jorugarushia9167]

@@pillarsofserpents he just did.

[@pillarsofserpents]

ummm......yeah, no. and if you think so, you're just as stupid

[@PanasonicTooth]

What's with neck-tattoocore?

[@chuffinjackpot]

what the fuck does he say at 5:10?.....escapegodegens?.....wtf?

[@unholyloaf]

"People are just looking for a scapegoat again."

[@mmrmurph3578]

to bad the entire scene looks at yall as huge tools.

[@Justjakeshort]

Was down till the Stitches shoutout

[@Bravo-Too-Much]

jake short Well he's his younger brother so why would that be a big deal?

[@xMACHOxMANx]

Aldo the Apache no hes not. Please give us proof on that.

[@slywolf4399]

​@@Bravo-Too-Muchno he's not lmao

[@xenomonk1]

"if youre on my team then say hell yeah" wow.. what a terrible lyric.. i hope they feel ashamed.

[@youtuberobbedmeofmyname]

"emmure sucks" why? "Lol they're copying atilla, they're copying acacia strain" What do you listen to? "i only listen to atilla" "i only listen to acacia strain" Obviously you limit yourself to a very short list of music. Come and stay awhile. This isn't rocket science, it's metal. Just appreciate it for it's art value not complexity unless you're an elitist. Then I cant change your mind

[@Bry4nfury]

he seems very twitchy.. coke maybe?

[@darrenthetuber743]

nah hes just got social anxiety

[@Shadow0fd3ath24]

social anxiety and he has a Monster Energy endorsement lol

[@tylermathis3176]

A fan of Riff Raff....really? ugh... just..ugh

[@herlasthope]

Ugh, politics. Please keep to what the interview was meant for and don't stray into that tar pit.

[@chuffinjackpot]

i actually live in tar pit? soooo might wanna think twice before you start talkin smack on tar pits haha ok buddy? coz u know one day......u know....yeah....i love tar pits...tarpits

[@MarcusToroian]

Emmure could possibly be decent without this guy up front. I can't stand his vocals, presence, ego, lyrics, etc. EDIT: Guns breed violence? That just did him in forever with me. No chance of redemption. Please go someplace with yourself. Someplace far, far from anywhere in the US. Disclaimer: I may be the biggest 2A advocate many of you would ever meet. If you have seen first hand what some people are capable of doing to their fellow human beings, or actually had to employ a firearm in a defensive situation, you'd be quite glad you had the right to do so.

[@zuesunleashed]

Marcus Toroian Guns do breed violence.

[@MarcusToroian]

Mmmchutney Care to elaborate, or back that up factually?

[@zuesunleashed]

Marcus Toroian Statistics show that societies with stricter gun laws deal with less gun-related violence.

[@zuesunleashed]

***** here's one of MANY www.salon.com/2013/03/07/gun_control_reduces_gun_violence_and_other_studies_that_confirm_the_obvious/ in fact, this is a pretty tame example reiterating my point.

[@zuesunleashed]

***** God, I can't believe i'm arguing with someone who doesn't think greater access to guns = greater gun-related violence. I just can't. Fuck it.
