The unreal story of how Craig Mabbitt joined Escape The Fate

[@chrismabbitt7162]

This is such a fun fact that not many people know and I love everyone's reaction for it 😂

[@kky.x]

I knew it 10 years ago. Ronnie never left either, they replaced him bc he went to prison

I miss Blessthefall with Craig more than anything. His Last Walk 🤘🔥

[@ThePurestMayhem]

I miss him more with The Word Alive. Their EP with him was excellent.

[@PennyDreadfulllXIII]

Both those bands are bettee without him lol ​@@ThePurestMayhem

[@collingroat7286]

The first three songs on that album are the best three song progression in metalcore. So good

[@untilyourbreathingstopsforever]

And after all these years I STILL keep learning new things about Escape The Fate !

[@calicocookietv7994]

That's an epic story. And now I can't see escape the fate without Craig. And can't see falling In Reverse without Ronnie

[@Butchernamedbilly]

This story is a lie anyone who knew these bands before on MySpace watched the vocal tryout competition where he lost but won by default of actually living in the US

[@DRKLGHT777]

😂😅 lol facts on facts. Like no joke dude!!

[@horrorking1000]

To think all that beef was by accident lmaoo both cool dudes Ronnie and Craig both mad talented I'm glad they let shits go

[@maddymcmadingson6296]

It wasn't by accident. The beef was mainly between Ronnie and Max green and some of ETF band members. But since Craig was now the lead singer he got caught in the crossfire.

[@JesseGMan7]

The beef is over because Ronnie is successful, the beef would probably be there forever if Ronnie didn’t become anything and ETF became a lot more popular like FTR.

[@realscenekid]

@@JesseGMan7nope the beef wasn’t over Ronnie being successful you’re literally a fan just yapping. It was over Ronnie putting ETF is a shit situation by violating his probation with Brass Knuckles and pretty much Ronnie always being selfish choosing what HE wants to do at anyone expense

Craig, was great last night performing EMO ORCHESTRA!much love and support, always!!

[@AmbitiouslyVicious]

Mad respect to Craig for putting up w all of the bs that started when he accidentally joined 😂😂 dudes tough af. Dealing w pissed off troubled emo teens isn’t for the faint of heart- I know this for a fact. The scene was brutaaal back then.

[@Oboromaru]

It's like Bob Ross once said, "there are no mistakes, only happy accidents". I feel like that applies here perfectly 😂

[@EthanRom]

Till this day the ETF lore still runs deep

[@aaronbaclayon2633]

I was talking to Joey from ASD a couple months ago and he told me that Ronnie also tried to join when he initially got fired from ETF

[@JesseGMan7]

Bad fit imo. Ronnies vocal style doesn’t fit them at all.

[@aaronbaclayon2633]

​@@JesseGMan7 I agree. I think Ronnie was just trying to join any band at the time to survive.

[@JesseGMan7]

@@aaronbaclayon2633 Yeah does sound like it

[@VulgarTruth]

Vblessthefall is one of my FAVOURITE bands of all time... Black rose dying everyone!

[@JesseGMan7]

It feels like a lifetime ago

[@thelastdaybreathinginetern1385]

Escape the fate was one of the first bands that got me into Metal. I've been a Metalhead since early 2010. I remember that my first Metal record CD ever was ETF's self-titled album. Miss those days. I listen to mainly Goth Rock, Darkwave, Technical Death Metal, Progressive Metal and Black Metal.. but I always go and listen to Escape The Fate, New or Old. I preferred Craig Mabbit in Escape The Fate! such a perfect match.

[@rolandolimon2260]

Yea I remember the ExtremeThing festival everyone went bonkers when they saw it was Craig !

[@chitchatrj]

I'm playing a show with etf in Michigan. It's my bands first show and mine personally in 5 years. I'm looking forward to it. ❤

Always wondered how amazing a skylit drive would've been with Craig

[@marihernandez5844]

Holly cow you mean to tell me we could have had a skylitdrive with Craig 😮

[@alexishorseadventures5912]

I have been a fan since day one and didn't know this. Wow kinda cool

[@jordanmarsh7639]

Would have loved to see him sing for asd.

[@xXHisLastWalkXx]

I will forever need to know what this would have sounded like. closest we'll ever really get are his tracks with TWA, which is definitely my favorite stuff he's ever done.

[@jjs8426]

Dying is your latest fashion is so underrated

[@nickschiller1080]

[@jaxonornelas2809]

I went to your concert yesterday day I’m the one that took a pic with you and my sis got the list of the songs

[@supremexruler]

Somewhere in there he was with The Word Alive as well.

[@goose5761]

MAN I forgot that demo with him is so nasty!

[@supremexruler]

@@goose5761 are you on drugs was a fucking banger

[@kimifydesigns]

I heard this before. He was just fillin in and then officially joined in when Ronnie wasn’t present or cant perform anymore. I dunno if that was the time he got arrested or something.

[@ticktock1624]

He didn't get arrested at the time he was so heavy in drugs if I remember he couldn't perform cause he was so out of it

[@kimifydesigns]

@@ticktock1624 oh thanks for the clarification. It was so long ago.

I prefer Craig in BTF, but that's history.

This whole thing about ETF and BTF is so confusing, holy shit. I still love both bands equally

That explains so much😅

[@tiki9055]

ASD would have been so good with him

[@JesseGMan7]

BTF and ASD would be better with Craig imo. But ETF was better with Ronnie honestly. Poor Craig.

[@franniebear777]

Im laughing too hard at this especially since i know some of the ASD guys. Wonder what would have happened if that text had actually went to Joey wilson and not ETF manager. 😱
