Ronnie Radke Breaks Down His Most Talked-About Controversies

[@THEgothicqueen1882]

I absolutely love Ronnie! I'm disabled with a terminal illness, and I don't have much mobility or time left anymore. Things like going to a concert are monumental tasks for me. But when Ronnie is in my city, I try never to miss a show. Seeing him and his band brings happiness to the very limited life I have. What makes it even more special is that my older teen daughter loves them too, and she accompanies me to these concerts as both my caregiver and my "rock out" companion. When we are completely letting loose and enjoying Ronnie's amazing shows, it allows me to escape my pain and anxiety for a while, which is huge for me. This guy is so funny, so passionate, stands up for his views and opinions without backing down, doesn't take himself too seriously, yet is like a god when it comes to musical talent and creativity. I feel like I can relate to his "zero fucks given, I stand behind what I say" kind of personality. I doubt you will see this, Ronnie, but just in case, you have genuinely had a huge impact on my quality of life. As my disease progresses, it's harder and harder to attend concerts. But I will continue to show up and lose myself in your artistry as long as my body allows. Thank you for giving me a temporary escape and for the amazing memories you gave to me and my daughter. You rock, in more ways than you know, Ronnie!

I stood on a picnic table and sang every single word to every song while I watched him mumble the words and fall all over the stage drunk af.

Ronnie is inspirational. He's been through some shit and doesn't let that stop him, he grows from it to better himself. Takes the bad things and grows as a person. Seeing his early days to now is so motivating and uplifting. On my worst days I'm always going to FIR music, "Fashionably Late" being the best album despite some questionable cringe songs it really let's you know you are not alone. What I love about his music is if you have never met the guy, you still get a sense of who he is what he is about and that speaks volumes itself. I have never met the dude personally but would love to at some point for real, but in any case his music has gotten me through a lot of tough shit and I will always support FIR, and anytime they are out on tour I'll be there even if there is some travel involved. Mad respect for this guy since the early years and it only goes up. Keep doing what you are doing my brother and maybe one day I'll be lucky enough to meet someone I look up🙏, if not that's ok, the music has already so much more than I could have asked for!

[@tommyswife05]

It's because people have become too sensitive. They will argue that everyone is allowed to have their own opinion, and then tell you you can't have your own opinion when your mindset is not inline with theirs. They will talk sh*t about you because your opinion is so offending and then act like the victim when you turn it around on them. They don't like the fact that he says what he thinks or what is factual. People act like celebrities owe them something and should be ready to change who they are to please the masses. There will always be someone whom you aren't their cup of tea. I'd rather be true to who I am as a person and be happy, rather than change who I am to please others. True friends know your flaws and still want you in their lives with no expectations.

[@angizzz]

​@@tommyswife05 100% agree with you. Sadly I was in a fanbase that was exactly how you discribed and i always thought that thats wrong, but i got so scared to talk about my opinion that i just rolled with their bs to be "cool" and have "friends". When i finally talked about what i really think i got so much shit for it, literally got bullied, even seeing them bully others traumatized me. This was 2 years ago and im still trying to recover and watching people like ronnie who are honest and true to their opinion brings me back to reality and back to my true self. Its just a lot of work and anxiety that comes with it. I dont even have social media anymore since over a year now and i still have to deal with it.

[@jedrashidul6952]

I think ppl don't like change nor being reminded that they can change.

[@tommyswife05]

@angizzz it will come more easily as you get older. Just have to remind yourself that it's better to be true to yourself and let others' opinions roll off your back. It definitely isn't easy growing thick skin when we are taught that we should care about others' opinions. The only one that has to live with who you are is you, might as well be happy when you see your reflection. Best advice I can give came from Dr. Seuss, "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind."

[@morganqorishchi8181]

There's a term for what he's describing re: the difference in how people react when they can vs cannot see your face. It's called Textual Depersonalization - it's very easy to forget you're talking to a person and subsequently easier to project your mood onto what you're reading/listening to without a face or other visuals to help your mind accurately process information. This is a problem psychologists have known about for decades, but the invention of Twitter really amped it up to 11 and has provided some stunning examples of people forgetting they're talking to a person.

Thank you Brian and Ronnie for this interview. An hour and 24 minutes of Ronnie being real was just something I needed to see and hear. Reading texts without contexts can be a harrowing experience. I'm an autist, 45 years alive and breather, and it's bad enough that in person-to-person communication I have trouble picking up on social/conversational cues that reading a forum could oftentimes take me a good hour because I am analyzing the context before responding, if I do at all. I wish more people actually processed (says the autist with mediocre processing skills) what is being discussed before reacting on social media, but I guess emotional vomit has become the norm in social media. I will read, start commenting, read what I've typed out, then delete the whole thing because I don't want to feel drained and exhausted at the end of the day over a negative comment that very well may have been posted by a bot or a negativity vampire (those that post a few sentences with trigger words and sit back, watching the verbal massacre unfold and soak up all bile spouted over something so inane and insignificant). Social media today has solidified the adage "Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers" -an evolution of many sayings over decades of history

All of the guys in Slaughter to Prevail watched us play our set and they were super supportive & super nice, and Alex was so positive (we were shite at the time lmao), but they complimented us and just showered us with kindness- and then when they played Alex got emotional talking to the crowd about how grateful he was to come tour in the US and everything Dude it was amazing, 100% genuinely those guys are some of the sweetest people I’ve ever met, especially in music

i love Ronnie. so damn talented. i’m 71. listen to all kinds of music. FIR is in my top 6. Keep rocking it Ronnie!

[@theJadedLady420]

So fvckin glad to see another person in my demographic (I'm 65) that's rocking out to Ronnie. My taste in music is also eclectic. But, good God. This man brings the thunder.

[@Nylorac83]

@@theJadedLady420 yes! i loved his music and he rocked hell outta it but the first time i heard (and watched) Last Resort it brought tears. That song never spoke to me like his rendition. Gods! what a masterpiece… and that voice. glad to hear from someone in my age group as well.

You can't deny what a genuinely nice guy Ronnie is ❤

[@evsthejedi]

He's authentic, and I respect him tremendously for that. Even if everyone else hates him. He is what metal needs IMHO.

[@DaddyStorrm]

Falling in Reverse and Korn should definitely do a collab

[@hishanebye1]

Glad to still be listening to Ronnie radke changing consistently since he came onto the scene when I was in schooling. Such a brilliant artist that brings nostalgia, to whoaa to just everything. Thank you Mr. Radke.

[@cheeseandrice877]

I love this interview, especially how honest Ronnie is. He’s perfectly imperfect-he has a big heart but can be an a-hole at times. He tries to do the right thing, even if he messes up sometimes. Anyone who really listens can see his genuine kindness. Despite the hate, he remains unapologetically himself. I see a lot of myself in him. There have been many times in my life where I’ve tried to do the right thing, but someone else got their story out first, leaving me surrounded by enemies who won’t hear me out. Ronnie is a great example that you don’t have to be perfect to be amazing and do amazing things. What an inspiration and legend! 🤘🖤🤘

"If you're listening to this and you're mad, you're stupid!" 😂🤣 that had me dying haha

[@heatherbooth4709]

Same! Lol - favorite line in the whole interview 🤣

fo real, why listen to things to get mad. take the clown pill homies

[@Christina-yd9fe]

Lmao

[@lauraharris6987]

This was a SICK interview. I love Ronnie's attitude about the industry. His music is awesome. 🤘

[@tagnbama9001]

This interview was an absolute BANGER!

[@BigPopaRoth]

Thank you for this great interview. Loved every moment. I love how genuine Ronnie comes across. Have ever growing love and respect for the man.

[@MangledRemainz]

I love unique music and Falling In Reverse fits all the music I enjoy. They toss it into a blender and mixes it all together perfectly. Ronnie is introducing people to styles of music that they may not have given a chance before. Thank you for having and sharing this interview!

[@roastedyams]

I loved Ronnie before watching this; but this did solidify it for me. He's fantastic. Now, off to watch more reactions to "Ronald."

[@Danibug727]

This was a fantastic interview! Thank you for taking the time to talk Ronnie! We love you too! Can't wait to see you again if you come back down to Florida again! So glad I got to see you twice last year!

[@Metalgool87]

This was so good, loved every minute of it. Thanks so much to you both for making this interview happen 🙏

[@D1rtySp00n]

im a full grown man in his mid thirtys...but i can tell you im 100% starstruck if i ever will meet Ronnie...this man , his brain, his lyrics give me the power to fight everything that comes to my way....i had such bad times ... times when i had no hope but i kept listening to the songs ...the message behind...the work behind and the meaning of the songs THE HONESTY! and everytime i listen to Falling in Reverse it gives me the power to do everything in my might to do the best of every day no matter what happens. Even if Ronnie is just a normal Dude, i don't think he know how much of a positive impact he have on people! SO MUCH LOVE FROM GERMANY !!

[@frankie_ghiloni]

Thanks for this one bro!🙌🏻🙏🏻 love what you’re doing for the community🔥🔥🔥

[@easyRider728]

Bro just didn't let the cancel culture era change him like everyone else did. I have a lot of respect for him

[@ChickenJoe-tq6xd]

Once you realize that cancel culture is a facade and they really don’t have that much power over you you start just laughing at it and not caring, I understand some people can lose their job or livelihood by the masses trying to cancel them but if you’re livelihood can be compromised by a bunch of internet nobodies than you probably should find something differently either, a bunch of people tried to cancel me once and found out where I worked and spammed called my boss trying to get me fired and he laughed and said he dgaf, it was awesome

[@gisellebonilla1336]

This is awesome of Ronnie to do this interview with you out of respect! He's a genius and just pure talented. I love what he has brought to the genre so damn much plus of course he's beautiful

[@larslinebarger6712]

I think this guy is what alot of people pretend to be or see them selves as. Real true people are rare these days and this guy is a class act.

[@racheltobiasz]

Huge, huge fan of Ronnie and who he is as a person. I can always appreciate how real and raw he is. There aren't a lot of people like that in this world, especially in the limelight. Really hoping I can get my hands on Ronnie's book one of these days but it's hard to find. An autographed one would be insanely cool! Keep it up Ronnie!

[@dbomb69420]

Ronnie is genuinely a good dude. You can tell he is nervous because people seriously twist his words CONSTANTLY. I hope FIR continues to pull rock/metal to the front. Keep going Ronnie we need more of you. We got your back my guy.

[@ayytee2]

This video was therapy for my attention span. I really sat here and watched the full hour. Good conversations, Good interview. I'm a new sub.

[@ferrari_fire]

Huge point being made that real rockstars are missing now. Everyone is afraid to offend and deviate from the majority. In the metal and rock space we are the outsiders very often so screw trying to please everyone. Ronnie is no one but himself and people hate him for it. But they dont listen to his lyrics or see him being such a legit person talking about how the world really is and trying to laugh crap off. Dont take everything you see online so personally, theres always more there if you were to sit down and have an actual conversation.

[@chloeryanvtuber]

i listen to his lyrics as a FIR fan since the beginning... and sadly, the transphobia is appearing there now too... disappointing. I don't hate him, I hate his world view.

[@Lahmia_Raven]

Great interview, Ronnie has always been an enigma within the rock industry about what kind of person he is - I think this interview has given everyone a brilliant perspective on who Ronnie is and how real and genuine he actually is. You don't come across that many people who take accountability for their fuck ups in life and wouldn't change anything as it made them the person they are today. Looking forward to more from yourself.

[@leahbarnes5612]

Fantastic interview! I’d say it’s probably the best one I’ve seen featuring Ronnie. Thanks to both of you for the great insights!

[@rodzillarox4882]

Im 56 and my sons introduced me to Falling In Reverse. I like Ronnie, seems like a pretty cool down-to-earth guy.. I’ve been seeing interviews and things like that so I always like to keep updated on some of the new stuff out there. It’s new to me since my sons introduced me to the music. Great interview . Love Rock Feed!

[@quietRage94]

It was really a good interview. Congrats! As for Ronnie, he is really talented and seems like a person I could grab a beer with and not stress about what to say and how to behave. I really admire his talent and effort he puts in. It’s clear he works hard for everything. He is inspiring and his music is great and saved my life in so many ways I can’t even comprehend

[@TheSlysterII]

What a great interview, thank you for this, I just don't understand all the negativity that seems to follow Ronnie around, he seems like a nice guy.

[@TessZZ9PluralZAlpha]

Speaking of fun metal things (pun intended), Electric Callboy sounds like the kind of band Ronnie meant! They are so good at what they do but don’t take themselves so seriously. Awesome interview! What a guy🤘🏼

[@WhateverWhenever888]

We do fun metal things HEEEEREE

[@rbash1985]

I found FiR at the same time I found EC, 2 of my favorite bands now

[@invictusmindless]

And don't forget about WBTDWB, also fun band. There also was Psychostick, but it was long time ago.

[@ItsPlaytimeVR]

What?! I've just became a Ronnie/Falling in Reverse fan and the music style diversity is one of the reasons WHY I love them 🥰 Keep following your passion guys. Its AMAZING!

[@HeatherDCD]

Great interview! FIR is my fav band and I’ve always had so much respect for Ronnie. He has genuinely inspired me to own things in my past that society conditions us to hide. He owns it all and takes accountability. I saw them this summer and discovered Crown The Empire due to him. They were also incredible along with Slaughter To Prevail. One of the best concerts I’ve been to. I know not everyone will get his sense of humor and that’s ok but dude is hilarious and knows exactly what he’s doing. I also adore Saraya, they both seem like genuine people with good hearts. I hope to see continued success for them and you as well.

[@Munchkinlord27]

Honestly, so amazing to hear Ronnie be vulnerable about so many different Metamorphosis he’s been through. Truly inspiring those to remember they have a voice to stand in that confidence. If it’s from the heart it’s your truth. Words easily get manipulated, but if they see you as you are, it’s received easier.. love you both tons. Stay metal get wreckless.

[@NickSibz]

Damn, man this is a sick podcast pull. I was so stoked to see this in the upcoming vids. As you said and we know. Ronnie doesnt do these often. I've loved his approach as of the past few years and respect how much he puts into his craft. His new music video was ridiculous and I cant wait for the future. Great interview and questions. Personally, Id love to see him do a song with MGK since he addressed it.

[@inosuke4708]

I saw falling in reverse without knowing much about them in Grand Rapids Michigan 2024! Ever since been completely obsessed. I ❤️ you Ronnie

[@berniceeast7389]

Wow, what a great interview. It was great to hear him explain some things that have everyone upset. He’s very misunderstood. So talented.

[@zerostheone1778]

I have a funeral to go to today and I can't sleep but this genuinely made me smile. Great video! Thanks guys

[@rebekahcarter8120]

Loved this so much. Thank you so much for such an amazing chat with the one & only Ronnie. Mad respect for both of you.

[@micheles745]

This Old lady loves Ronnie and FIR. He's overcome adversity and his music is dope. Nobody's perfect and we all mess up at times during our lives. If you don't like his music, turn it off but for the rest of us, Rock on Ronnie!

[@cosetterolfes4100]

I love this interview so much!! Ronnie is such a cool dude and definitely deserves all the success he has/is getting. 🖤🤘🏼

[@bratty6194]

i LOVE when my fav artists change their albums because i listen to almost every type of genre and to me it shows GROWTH as music producers.. no one wants to listen to the same shit 24/7, and no one should expect musicians to stay the same.. people are allowed to change and like more than one thing

[@weszly]

I agree, such a refreshing and uncommon take!

[@Ericsaidful]

Is this a prequel to a drop announcement? It has to be. His Twitter is back, he’s doing this interview, it’s got to be an announcement.

[@Sll100]

He released a new song about an hr ago and a album release date and a tour

[@Dane-xv7go]

Yes New album in July, 7/26

[@LoveForFallingInReverse]

He's released a new song now

[@KingdomKali]

I absolutely adore and respect Ronnie Radke. He cares what people think, but what he chooses to do is not work hard at changing only their opinion- he looks at the bad situations he's in and thinks about how to make himself better, and being better is how he changed people's opinions. That's exactly what I wanted and needed to do, and Ronnie's music helped me through the hard parts (quitting drugs, admitting things, leaving toxic people, etc.) Thank you for doing you Ronnie, keep going ❤ Ps. I went to our local show where he brought Crown The Empire, his band cancelled but i still got to see CTE live which I didn't think would happen any time soon!

[@katelynasher5]

I saw FiR at Madison Square Garden and Phoenix for the A7X concert. I’m a HUGE HUGE A7X fan and FiR stole the show. The energy…the set list..it was MIND BLOWING. lost my voice singing with Ronnie. I was front row in Phoenix and I can’t wait to see them in Phoenix this year. LOVE FIR!

[@Wisconsin4eyes]

Mad props to you for getting Ronnie on a interview man. It speaks volumes to the caliber of your channel.

[@StrattonSmith]

54:45 this breaks my heart as a HUGE Motionless In White fan. Arguably my favorite band, have never heard anything bad about Chris...until this. And Ronnie is being totally honest, you can just tell. So yeah. Circle back to that sentiment of "never meet your heroes" I guess. :(

[@PinkPixie-ix8wi]

Chris was totally rude to me on Facebook, and I thought we were friends when I asked if we had issues because another band guy demanded nudes from me and i didnt send them BTW, Chris just goes, "Yeah." And I told him I didn't send them cuz my SA and he told me to "get over it." The only person to apologize for how I've been treated was Ryan sitkowski and he even told me "Ryan cares." Whixh meant a lot because I felt completely and utterly alone

[@Dancing_Psycho]

Yeah, this is word for word accurate to me as well

[@StrattonSmith]

@@PinkPixie-ix8wi If this is true, I am so sorry and don’t even know where to begin here. Any chance you have proof of this conversation? Unless it’s deleted and/or too much to want to relive, then totally disregard. But I am very sorry if this happened to you, super strange to even think he would act in such a way…

[@PinkPixie-ix8wi]

@StrattonSmith it was on the Facebook i deleted, but we were friends and they all knew about my assalt ,so when said person asked for the nudes I told him I don't send them cuz of the assalt and he made fun of my trauma. I was so done with all the bands at that point I deleted everything except KZbin.

[@PinkPixie-ix8wi]

@StrattonSmith I didn't wanna relive that because that felt like such a slap in my face.

[@chellecopley67]

I LOVED this SM Brian! Ronnie is a genuine guy and I love getting to see an interview with him and you asked some truly great questions, stuff I really was interested in.

[@Matthew-.-]

Such a good interview. Been a fan since the 2012 Warped Tour and I've met too many people IRL that say something like "Oh yeah I like Falling In Reverse but isn't their singer a terrible person?" Next time I hear that I'll probably just send them this video.

[@marissamadderra]

Ronnie speaks truth! Period! He is an inspiration and full of wisdom! If anyone gets mad for him speaking the truth, go hide under a rock and cry! Great podcast!❤❤ Thank you 🙏

[@ericnagle4899]

I like that he said that. Tiktok versus Twitter. Its that same thing with texting versus talking in person. Body language and facial expressions create context that is lacking a lot in the internet world. Sarcasm is hard to read in the written word

[@ianinaharms]

Thanks for the talk, folks! Was great to listen to you❤

[@chapichale1074]

Falling In Reverse : Ronald... Is just heavy as hell.. sick. Great Job Ronnie. 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@TeriHuebert-tq7kf]

I’m way older than most of you and I just love this music! I can’t get enough of it!💗😊
