Called out. not attacked.

[@sevel7556]

Not his fault there’s so many losers in that scene

[@djjazzyjeff1232]

They deserve to be called out for being virtue signaling hypocrites. The worst type of people IMO.

[@jasonrichardson9049]

Every time I watch one of your videos about Ronnie I love and respect that man even more, thank you for covering this.

[@dawg4135]

The one comment about what hardcore used to represent is F’kn hilarious. They obviously don’t remember bands like Warzone, Agnostic Front, Gang Green etc. These bands were Pro America, Anti Communism but I wouldn’t expect anything else. As Scowl was on tour with Limp Bizkit and almost signed to them. A new found respect for Ronnie. 🙏🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻🇺🇸

[@RafaelRoberto]

I used to feel bad for the current state of the music industry and how hard it is for musicians to make a living with it BUT aparently it's not hard enough yet.

[@davieslocker86]

When you start with saying people are doing this for attention than bring up a band 99% of people never heard of I’d have to agree 😂

[@mattbaird5467]

Who? Lol

[@lxttlebird8100]

I love that these are all no name bands that think it's making a change when all it's doing is affecting their bands future.... What's happening in Palestine is horrible, but not playing at Download isn't going to stop what is happening. The only thing that will stop that war is the leaders of the country. Not a UK festival.

[@Juttyet]

Not sure if they (FIR) are still technically a “punk” band still but this is what (most) members of Punk bands used to do is fight the system and the hypocrites. I just feel that vibe from Ronnie

[@Under-Kaoz]

exactly. When every government agency, every college, every democrat, and a large chunk of republicans support Palestine, then the establishment, the system the man is supporting yet another war. I dont want to see any wars.

[@hunterotails2015]

Oh no, a band nobody has ever heard of is leaving a festival. How ever will that festival survive? 😂 F*ckin' love Ronnie!

[@OrdsBored]

Ronnie says all that needed to be said.

[@pillanselmo9440]

Funny seeing as Ronnie Radke cancelled in West Virginia because of losing his voice but the next night he performed at another venue.

[@aces553]

Yes. Sometimes a singer on your needs a day off to rest their throat so they can continue the tour. Get it?

[@92SynysterShadows]

Yet again, Ronnie said no lies.

[@davidoates401]

But he did because this sponsorship was before the conflict, he is just being a typical narcissist and wanting to create unecessary drama and have the spotlight shine on him as always

Ride that cash cow that is RR's Socials lol

Suddenly that flute that Speed be utilizing in their music makes A LOT of sense…..

[@mriforgiate]

Ronnie is dead on. I love how he calls this shit out.

[@xephialtes]

Wokecore never should've been a thing... like yea you dont agree with something but if you care about music so much then make music about it and perform it infront of the people you have such strong opposite opinions to instead of just running away.

[@stang93ful]

I fkn LOVE Ronnie man. He’s a legit real one who speaks up about truth and real injustice and had the balls to take a stand against all the scumbag shit going on in today’s world. He has my respect, support, and I’ll ride with people like him until the end. 👊💯🔥💪🙏🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@mikeprice820]

The US Army needs more metal heads!!

[@DragonKnightX12]

I think they have plenty. Almost all the military guys I've met and played games with are Rock/Metal fans.

[@MFBURNS7909]

The military is full of metal heads. All branches 😅

[@youknowimright.3137]

Uuuuuh they have a lot of metal heads that I know of. Dont know WTF you are talking about.

[@mikeprice820]

Talking about the booth at the metal festival. What else?

[@farah4983]

Metal doesn't mean you f****** kill children. At least these other bands stand for something other than money.

[@timothymeadows8326]

Where many bands boot lick and rage for the system, Radke is keeping the "speak truth to power" mentality alive and well.

[@mikehorn7099]

Corey Taylors mental health must be improving a lot now that Ronnie has taken the title of "the rock musician people absolutely cannot and will not stop talking about"

[@selw0nk]

Stop promoting this guy already it's been almost a week videos of him.

[@danielhall-wl4ql]

I don't know the first thing about Falling in Reverse but thanks to your channel I'm starting to really like this dude , Kentucky life for you , but hey we got Godsmack coming to hick town in October , They don't know what their getting in to . Really dont

[@eriktaylor6272]

This is why Ronnie's blowing up right now and everyone watching this is like "who the fuck is Scowl?" And he called it on this one... this is a stunt by D-list "artists" for attention. At these festivals these are the kinds of bands that go first, in the morning or early afternoon. The filler. It's hilarious to me that they think they matter enough to get the festivals to drop a sponsor.

[@mrmisfit635]

I wonder what Corey Taylor thinks about this?...
