Tom is the type of guy to say, "Why do good girls like bad guys? I've had this question for a real long time. I've been a bad boy and it's plain to see, why do good girls fall in love with me?"
Tom the type of guy to say Life's like a road that you travel on When there's one day here, and the next day gone Sometimes you bend, sometimes you stand Sometimes you turn your back to the wind There's a world outside every darkened door Where blues won't haunt you anymore Where the brave are free and lovers soar Come ride with me to the distant shore We won't hesitate To break down the garden gate There's not much time left today, yeah Life is a highway I wanna ride it all night long If you're goin' my way Well, I wanna drive it all night long

Getting offended by someone wearing a shirt that is disparaging you specifically isn’t an unreasonable thing to get pissed at, it’s a scenario that other frontmen end up in and react the same way. Getting offended by the ridiculous shit people get offended by today is not at all comparable.

Especially when what he got offended by is something that plenty of people in his shoes have also been offended by.

It’s crazy how Ronnie has been making music since the 2000s and he’s somehow less mature now than he was when he was in Escape The Fate. He is truly the MGK of 40 year olds.
Your smoking Crack bud. Ronnie is pretty damn cool. I've been listening to him since he was in escape the fate. To now with his solo songs and his band falling in reverse. He's always been a cool and chill guy and an amazing singer. The world would be worse off without Ronnie in it.
I mean, less mature? I wouldn't say he is mature. But he's definitely not LESS mature. He was a junkie now he is clean and supports his family. It's probably hard to constantly be subject to criticism. I think he is cringe and a bit over the top at times. But I don't know what it's like to have people telling me I am a piece of shit every day.
Ronnie is really good at singing the most cringy lyrics ever in a way that comes off catchy Also crazy how ive listened to every single band thats named in this video, this feels like a targeted topic LOL
My cousin who's been on every drug imaginable has a similar tattoo that looks similar I wished I could remember what it said. I don't have contact with her anymore ever since she just straight elt this addicted boyfriend pick her daughter up by the arm an beat her. Smfh
this might become youtube drama, ronnie radke has beef with a music critic youtuber called brad taste, its really funny theres a lot of romantic tension
My husband and I LOVED the re-imagined Last Resort. To each their own, but we thought his voice was beautiful and emotional, matching the orchestral accompaniment
I had the same thought, “This is probably the closest we’ll ever get to Tom talking about Bad Religion.” I’m seeing them play with Social D in a couple weeks. Super stoked.
Not sure if you will see this, but your "twomad was alone" video was just taken down today. I watched the whole thing and refreshed to see the comments, and then the violation page came up.
Okay this is the last thing I ever expected from Tom and the most excited I’ve been to watch a video from anyone in such a long time lmao. More music docs PLEASE!!
I mean if his kid was there i can see him being annoyed by it. But goin all out to call him out and even putting him in a video is petty. And kinda dumb. Id see it as more of a hey this dumbass paid money to be at my show just to try and get attention for them hating me. Ill accept that money and ignore that moron. But ronnie seems to be a little too obsessed with being a bit immature and petty so 🤷♂️ kinda just who he is lol
@@Zaque-TV The shirt, far as I can tell with the information I gained from a short search and the video here, doesn't infringe on copyright. He doesn't own the upside cross, and falling in reverse isn't some unique combination of words. It wasn't like that was even the only shirt, it was part of a line of merch with other words being printed on them and other images. Seems to me like he's got a big head and thinks he is the only one who should be allowed to use falling in reverse.
6:42 that’s not how it works. You don’t get caught driving recklessly and then get offered a deal to plead guilty to child abuse. That’s not how any of this works.
It's exactly how it works. He was charged with possession and concealment of a deadly weapon, and then took a plea agreement for the lesser charge of battery. You can literally go look it up. The 2 charges you mentioned are unrelated to each other, unless you are driving recklessly with a child in the car. In that case, you could absolutely take a plea deal to drop one of the charges. What Ronnie doesn't understand, apparently, is that you don't have to actually hit someone to get charged with battery. He meant to suggest that he never physically hit anyone, which is true.
@@openyathirdeye6894 Cadott WI. They host a 2 separate festivals. One called rock fest, and one called country fest. Ronnie attended rock fest of course and played. He later complained on twitter or Facebook I can’t remember, that the accommodations were poor and he felt like a prisoner or some shit. He also got into an argument with the audience as well. During the whole social media rant on how much the people of Cadott suck and how much Rock fest sucks he got into an argument with this one guy named Caleb. Ronnie tried ratioing Caleb and made himself seem like a total asshole. I actually talked to Caleb myself and was like “Hell yeah man, thanks for stickin up for my shitty ass town” 🤣 I mean the town and the people do suck but, who tf is Ronnie to decide that.
I guess you didn't see the announcement yesterday? Since Ronnie called them out they come now up with improvements. He was speaking the truth when nobody was brave enough to do so. I read many comments of people who were at this Rock Fest and agreed with him. It was not Ronnies fault but the oranisations for putting up benches for the rows in front of the stage so nobody could move. This would kill the vibe of every rock show! But you are too much up your own ass to admit that he was actually right!@@Cheezoidberg
@@ImTakingYouToFlavorTown I had a neighbor just like him. “Big man complex” and a combination main character syndrome. Always trying to bully people they know they can take advantage of. Ronnie is without a doubt fits in that narrative. A manchild.
would love if you could do a video on the many controversies that happened at Warped Tour. so much shit happened behind Kevin Lyman’s back and some shit he even defended. so many people want that tour to come back not knowing how dangerous it was to the community
I gasped out loud when I got this notification haha. I remember the Ronnie going to prison drama when I was in high school and have been interested in Ronnie lore since. This was an incredible watch, thank you. :)
the Butternuts horse tattoo thing was a reference to the police horse in the movie Half Baked, and he dies when the one of the stoners feeds him munchies. the horse was named Buttercup but the high guy kept calling him Butternuts 😂
Holy shit, I love that other people remember this film. One of the obscure quotes I apparently still refer to way too often: "Are you listening to me?" "No. 😂" I'm gonna need to watch it again, it's been too long.
Dying is your latest fashion holds up. It's the only release by escape the fate, and Ronnie - that I like at all. They had something special there. I was really into blessthefalls first album as well at the time (which holds up less), so I was bummed that I never liked the Craig Mabbit outings. Oh well.
Anyone who's friends with Radke can't be 100 all the way decent. Craig seems alright, but he's a metalcore singer like any other, they all have a grim streak. Perhaps he's matured and cleaned up in his 40s, though, as Radke should have done.
Never heard his music but his online persona makes me think he's one of those guys who uses "telling it like it is" as an excuse to be an insufferable asshole.
Or hes defending himself from constant character assassinations about shit that happened 20 fucking years ago and he literally served time for it. Yet nerds keep bringing it up and not letting him move on. So what he says is fully justified.
@ChristopherJames1993 I kinda get that angle too, but it definitely seems like he's hooked on being a reactionary shit stirrer, I'd be more willing to defend him for just being that way if he wasn't also bigoted on top of it
Ronnie is literally the worlds worst taking criticism for anything, basically all he does on social media is throw tantrums. I have not seen him interact with any positive feedback at all even when I was a fan of the band. He openly seeks out. Negativity, so I don’t really feel bad when negative shit gets thrown back at him you are what you surround yourself with.
@@ChristopherJames1993yeah no bc he literally harasses ppl who dare mention not liking new songs from him. Without even tagging. He qrts and sics his fans on people His stans also tag him in shit to get his attention when people talk about hurtful things he's said to trans people online for example. He always insists on dragging people's appearances as well as if hes hot shit when he's not
Another recent controversy from last year, Spiritbox is a metalcore band who was positioned to be one of the many openers for the Popular Monstour. After backlash from fans, Spiritbox chose to pull out of the tour. Not much really came from it, outside of FIR posting a photo with replacement Our Last Night with an overhead banner saying "Wish you were here, Spiritbox". Aside from that he occasionally just fires some strays at them on Twitter.
Spirit Box hung out with FIR a few times. no issues. It wasn’t until a small toxic group of their fans went on twitter and did not approve them with FIR did they drop off the tour
mike and i toured for many years in a band together before eventually making spiritbox with his wife. still wild to see the name come up in random places. still have a bunch of versions of pre-production songs he sent me lol.
As someone whos been a fan of Ronnie since the ETF days.. He had a million and a half ups and downs through the years but watching him continue to climb was amazing. When the drug in me is you reimagined dropped I couldn't have been more proud of him. He looked better, sounded better and all around just seemed like he was doing better. I love that for him. Is he the best person in the world? No. And I doubt any of his fans would say that. But we don't love him because he's perfect. We love him because of his struggles, and his rise from the pit he fell into. He never gave up and look at him now, its purely inspirational.
Ronnie thinking that he owns the concept of "gothic werewolf transformation operatic metal videos" like I guess he missed Within Temptation and Nightwish? Also, Ronnie getting upset about being canceled/offended and then going and reacting to someone on tiktok making a parody of Zombiefied and ALLEGEDLY threatening legal action if the video isn't removed is an interesting take. Sadly, the creator of the parody took their video down, but you can still find other musicians reacting and adding to it.
Ronnie has himself to blame to an extent because he’s always fighting with people and engaging with haters on social media. He can’t help himself. The issue I have tho is that there are certain people who keep accusing him of killing someone when he didn’t. Look at the actual court documents and you will see he didn’t actually kill anyone. Despite this he keeps having people constantly harassing him about his past and obscuring the truth about him. Like an idiot Radke keeps responding to everything. Dude should consider himself lucky. He’s one of the few singers from his era that isn’t a sexual predator or freak. He actually has a career where he’s actually blown up in popularity due to TikTok. So he’s actually reached the top of the mountain for his generation. He doesn’t need to keep engaging with the bs. Yet he does.
Ronnie isnt the best but he isnt the worst, if anything hes more human than most stuck up artist. his music still goes hard with his reimagined/rap/heavy metal and scream is still amazing and his talent exceeds most.
I thought last resort remake was fucking great. Puts a whole new spin on a classic nu metal song. I remember I was just maybe 20 or 21 when that came out. Now at 44 that’s remake hits differently. I just love it
As being someone who's older and knew pretty much all this due to listening to the band since high school. You did this so well, covering luke holland was a great addition. He also drummed for word alive on their 1rst or 2nd album if i remember right. 10/10 video and a cool twist to the usual.
Saw them in concert last year alongside Catch Your Breath, Our Last Night, and Ice Nine Kills, and they were FANTASTIC. I'm generally not even the biggest fan of FIR, but they definitely did a great performance. Also I think this is the first time my brother would actually be interested in watching a video you've out out Tom. He loves Falling In Reverse.
I really loved this video such a throwback as someone who was in their “emo phase” (definitely not a phase) when the drug in me is you came out and being a bit confused seeing that they’re now rapping, seeing how Ronnie got to where he is today definitely put a smile on my face
I can acknowledge his success, but after kicking I See Stars from that tour, I can't ever really look at him the same. Dude has always been pretty full of himself. I still went to that concert to see Enter Shikari, but he had a little "I'm human too!" moment during it when people cheered for I See Stars (knowing they weren't there). Other thing: Motionless in White has been doing movie stuff forever. The whole Creatures album is based on movies like the Crucible, Edward Scissorhands, and Dracula. His ego has always been pretty shit to watch, despite the first albums of both EtF and FiR being classics.
Motionless in White is one of my favorite bands to this day because of that album. Saw them play it with Black Veil Brides and William Control (lead singer of Aiden)
That sounds like a badass lineup! I'm so jealous of y'all, I really love sanguisugabogg and pretty much all the old school brutal death metal revival stuff
Ever heard of corporate design and how it is protected? I help you here: a dance routine that slightly looks like a reference to a movie is NOT a protected corporate design!
@@coelleenHis next wife left him for cheating. You don't think if he were an abuser that it would have come out then? Or are you just one of those "believe all women, even if there's zero evidence" people?
Loved Ronnie from the escape the fate days, FIR has a banger track called "Losing my mind", everyone should hear it! Also Craig came in as an absolute smoke show, my teenage emo crush for sure!
I was at the Detroit show where I See Stars was chanted in the venue we were in(I believe it was Saint Andrews). Ronnie fucking HATED it. He had security kick out anyone he thought said it, with people who didn't even chant it getting kicked out. I See Stars is a band from Warren, Michigan, so some fans were there to see them in their home state. Enter Shikari was GOATed that night though ngl

I DIDNT FINISH THE TWOMAD VIDEO
SAME
Ronnie has one of the better 'legal issues and controversies' section of a Wikipedia page.
The "unbreakable" tattoo makes me laugh after he had an absolute meltdown at rockfest last year. 😂
My cousin who's been on every drug imaginable has a similar tattoo that looks similar I wished I could remember what it said. I don't have contact with her anymore ever since she just straight elt this addicted boyfriend pick her daughter up by the arm an beat her. Smfh
nooooooooooooooooo i was in the middle of the twomad video and it got removed
That was a great video
WERE BRANCHING OUT OF TH-cam DRAMA WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🙀🙌🗣🔥💯
this might become youtube drama, ronnie radke has beef with a music critic youtuber called brad taste, its really funny theres a lot of romantic tension
@@retorikhalNaaah Ronnie is chill, he has no problem with reacts or whatever, he just isnt one to deescalate when people inevitable talk shit
youre prolly rite tbh @@retorikhal
My favorite dose of calming rambling, hell yes

My husband and I LOVED the re-imagined Last Resort. To each their own, but we thought his voice was beautiful and emotional, matching the orchestral accompaniment
Patiently waiting for the follow up video on Ronnie's response to this video.
Its only a matter of time
That would be pathetic 😂
He would be an idiot to even respond at all, but it's ronnie so thats exactly what hes going to do.
FYI, Brett Gurewitz not only ran Epitaph Records, he also had a few stints as a guitarist for Bad Religion, one of the biggest bands in punk history
Tom is a poser
He founded epitaph
He is also one of the founders and co writers of Bad Religion
I had the same thought, “This is probably the closest we’ll ever get to Tom talking about Bad Religion.”
I’m seeing them play with Social D in a couple weeks. Super stoked.
Although Brett no longer plays with them though so… oh well.
The Derek Jones story had me shedding tears, I love Falling In Reverse so much lmao 😭😭
Tom referring to Brett Gurewitz as "a guy who worked at Epitaph" just cracked my shit up
Elon musk - a guy who works at Tesla.
brett who
Ditto on John Feldmann as a guy who worked with Katy Perry

Not sure if you will see this, but your "twomad was alone" video was just taken down today. I watched the whole thing and refreshed to see the comments, and then the violation page came up.
Looking for this comment
Okay this is the last thing I ever expected from Tom and the most excited I’ve been to watch a video from anyone in such a long time lmao. More music docs PLEASE!!
"People have become too sensitive" - says the guy being triggert by a t-shirt
Lol. Funny how that works.
I mean if his kid was there i can see him being annoyed by it. But goin all out to call him out and even putting him in a video is petty. And kinda dumb. Id see it as more of a hey this dumbass paid money to be at my show just to try and get attention for them hating me. Ill accept that money and ignore that moron. But ronnie seems to be a little too obsessed with being a bit immature and petty so 🤷♂️ kinda just who he is lol
Literally copyright infringement. How dare he.
@@Zaque-TV The shirt, far as I can tell with the information I gained from a short search and the video here, doesn't infringe on copyright. He doesn't own the upside cross, and falling in reverse isn't some unique combination of words. It wasn't like that was even the only shirt, it was part of a line of merch with other words being printed on them and other images. Seems to me like he's got a big head and thinks he is the only one who should be allowed to use falling in reverse.
@@ImTakingYouToFlavorTown Playboy Carti had to pay Ronnie compensation because the name is copyrighted! Yes this is how Copyright works!
Did the Twomad vid get taken down? I was like 40 minutes into it and now it’s not here anymore
6:42 that’s not how it works. You don’t get caught driving recklessly and then get offered a deal to plead guilty to child abuse. That’s not how any of this works.
What do you expect from the absolute scumbag that is Ronnie radke
It's exactly how it works. He was charged with possession and concealment of a deadly weapon, and then took a plea agreement for the lesser charge of battery. You can literally go look it up. The 2 charges you mentioned are unrelated to each other, unless you are driving recklessly with a child in the car. In that case, you could absolutely take a plea deal to drop one of the charges. What Ronnie doesn't understand, apparently, is that you don't have to actually hit someone to get charged with battery. He meant to suggest that he never physically hit anyone, which is true.
I guess it’s good you don’t know how the legal system works… that means you’re probably not a criminal… but you’re wrong… I know for a fact.
Thats is LITERALLY how it works, dumbass.😂
@@Hick_Dead Exactly. You can get charged with battery for simply grabbing someone by the arm or even shaking a person's hand unwantedly.
No way you did a Ronnie Radke video. As a metal head and hardcore lurker of you channel this is great
Ronnie Radke = Metal these days? 🤨
@@chaosemerald4603 lol no, i think he's just saying it's rare to see Tom covering any musicians let alone one's from the Alternative/Rock world

I'm turning 40 and just discovered FIR last year and I am so obsessed, their albums have helped me so much ❤
Can't forget about when he got into a beef with a small town of 1400 i lived in at one point. lol
What's the town or ur capping
@@openyathirdeye6894 Cadott WI. They host a 2 separate festivals. One called rock fest, and one called country fest. Ronnie attended rock fest of course and played. He later complained on twitter or Facebook I can’t remember, that the accommodations were poor and he felt like a prisoner or some shit. He also got into an argument with the audience as well. During the whole social media rant on how much the people of Cadott suck and how much Rock fest sucks he got into an argument with this one guy named Caleb. Ronnie tried ratioing Caleb and made himself seem like a total asshole. I actually talked to Caleb myself and was like “Hell yeah man, thanks for stickin up for my shitty ass town” 🤣 I mean the town and the people do suck but, who tf is Ronnie to decide that.
I guess you didn't see the announcement yesterday? Since Ronnie called them out they come now up with improvements. He was speaking the truth when nobody was brave enough to do so. I read many comments of people who were at this Rock Fest and agreed with him. It was not Ronnies fault but the oranisations for putting up benches for the rows in front of the stage so nobody could move. This would kill the vibe of every rock show! But you are too much up your own ass to admit that he was actually right!@@Cheezoidberg
@@CheezoidbergHe just comes off as a petulant child.
@@ImTakingYouToFlavorTown I had a neighbor just like him. “Big man complex” and a combination main character syndrome. Always trying to bully people they know they can take advantage of. Ronnie is without a doubt fits in that narrative. A manchild.
would love if you could do a video on the many controversies that happened at Warped Tour. so much shit happened behind Kevin Lyman’s back and some shit he even defended. so many people want that tour to come back not knowing how dangerous it was to the community
I gasped out loud when I got this notification haha. I remember the Ronnie going to prison drama when I was in high school and have been interested in Ronnie lore since. This was an incredible watch, thank you. :)
same
Somehow i'm not even surprised that Tom is a FIR fan, it just makes sense
I mean, FiR IS Fire. And Tom has fire taste
His life is like a video game.
the Butternuts horse tattoo thing was a reference to the police horse in the movie Half Baked, and he dies when the one of the stoners feeds him munchies. the horse was named Buttercup but the high guy kept calling him Butternuts 😂
He was a diabetic!
Cop killer!! Aw, man, I loved that movie, and the first time I ever got high we were watching that, way back in 2001!
@@StubbsDK it is a classic!
"DOCTOR SAID I NEED A BACKIATOMY!" 🤣
Holy shit, I love that other people remember this film. One of the obscure quotes I apparently still refer to way too often:
"Are you listening to me?"
"No. 😂"
I'm gonna need to watch it again, it's been too long.
Good writer and producer, but someone please take away this man's access to all social media.
Miss old escape the fate, I used to do graphics for Max Green back on MySpace back in the day 😭 he was a nice ass dude
Damn how old are you
@@John-Doe-Yo 32 😂
good old times
Dying is your latest fashion holds up. It's the only release by escape the fate, and Ronnie - that I like at all.
They had something special there.
I was really into blessthefalls first album as well at the time (which holds up less), so I was bummed that I never liked the Craig Mabbit outings.
Oh well.
Yeah quit making shit up lol this totally happened
I play bass in Craig's band The Dead Rabbitts and can easily say Craig is the sweetest dude in the world.
Is that that band with that chick with the high pitched girly voice? Weird band. But entertaining.
Anyone who's friends with Radke can't be 100 all the way decent. Craig seems alright, but he's a metalcore singer like any other, they all have a grim streak. Perhaps he's matured and cleaned up in his 40s, though, as Radke should have done.
I feel so much sympathy for Derek Jones and his wife 😢😢
Never heard his music but his online persona makes me think he's one of those guys who uses "telling it like it is" as an excuse to be an insufferable asshole.
You would be correct
Or hes defending himself from constant character assassinations about shit that happened 20 fucking years ago and he literally served time for it. Yet nerds keep bringing it up and not letting him move on. So what he says is fully justified.
@ChristopherJames1993 I kinda get that angle too, but it definitely seems like he's hooked on being a reactionary shit stirrer, I'd be more willing to defend him for just being that way if he wasn't also bigoted on top of it
Ronnie is literally the worlds worst taking criticism for anything, basically all he does on social media is throw tantrums. I have not seen him interact with any positive feedback at all even when I was a fan of the band. He openly seeks out. Negativity, so I don’t really feel bad when negative shit gets thrown back at him you are what you surround yourself with.
@@ChristopherJames1993yeah no bc he literally harasses ppl who dare mention not liking new songs from him. Without even tagging. He qrts and sics his fans on people
His stans also tag him in shit to get his attention when people talk about hurtful things he's said to trans people online for example. He always insists on dragging people's appearances as well as if hes hot shit when he's not
Another recent controversy from last year, Spiritbox is a metalcore band who was positioned to be one of the many openers for the Popular Monstour. After backlash from fans, Spiritbox chose to pull out of the tour. Not much really came from it, outside of FIR posting a photo with replacement Our Last Night with an overhead banner saying "Wish you were here, Spiritbox".
Aside from that he occasionally just fires some strays at them on Twitter.
Spirit Box hung out with FIR a few times. no issues. It wasn’t until a small toxic group of their fans went on twitter and did not approve them with FIR did they drop off the tour
mike and i toured for many years in a band together before eventually making spiritbox with his wife. still wild to see the name come up in random places. still have a bunch of versions of pre-production songs he sent me lol.
@@booloogaloowhat was the name of the band you guys played in?
@@iltil2236 fall in archaea
Yep just whiny entitled cry babies who think everyone has to think like them @duckie8126
As someone whos been a fan of Ronnie since the ETF days.. He had a million and a half ups and downs through the years but watching him continue to climb was amazing. When the drug in me is you reimagined dropped I couldn't have been more proud of him. He looked better, sounded better and all around just seemed like he was doing better. I love that for him.
Is he the best person in the world? No. And I doubt any of his fans would say that. But we don't love him because he's perfect. We love him because of his struggles, and his rise from the pit he fell into. He never gave up and look at him now, its purely inspirational.
Ronnie thinking that he owns the concept of "gothic werewolf transformation operatic metal videos" like I guess he missed Within Temptation and Nightwish?
Also, Ronnie getting upset about being canceled/offended and then going and reacting to someone on tiktok making a parody of Zombiefied and ALLEGEDLY threatening legal action if the video isn't removed is an interesting take. Sadly, the creator of the parody took their video down, but you can still find other musicians reacting and adding to it.
Jim Steinman would also like a word with Ronnie about plagiarism and intellectual property, and he's been dead for three years.
Apparently ALL OF THE 80S
within temptation and nightwish were/are lead by women so obviously will get no respect from ronnie
@@hattarapilvi and rightfully so. Ronnie's a joke atp.
I say this as a fan of escape the fate and falling in reverse, but Meatloaf did the werewolf/vampiric transformation operatic rock thing back in 1993.
Your videos always got some sort of almost nostalgic feelin to um and its dope, good video tom turkey
Ronnie has himself to blame to an extent because he’s always fighting with people and engaging with haters on social media. He can’t help himself.
The issue I have tho is that there are certain people who keep accusing him of killing someone when he didn’t. Look at the actual court documents and you will see he didn’t actually kill anyone.
Despite this he keeps having people constantly harassing him about his past and obscuring the truth about him. Like an idiot Radke keeps responding to everything.
Dude should consider himself lucky. He’s one of the few singers from his era that isn’t a sexual predator or freak. He actually has a career where he’s actually blown up in popularity due to TikTok.
So he’s actually reached the top of the mountain for his generation. He doesn’t need to keep engaging with the bs. Yet he does.
4:20 bravo for putting that "Half Baked" reference about Buttercup, the horse, at 4:20 in this video. That was amazing!
Ronnie isnt the best but he isnt the worst, if anything hes more human than most stuck up artist. his music still goes hard with his reimagined/rap/heavy metal and scream is still amazing and his talent exceeds most.
It is difficult for saints to make compelling art.
I thought last resort remake was fucking great. Puts a whole new spin on a classic nu metal song. I remember I was just maybe 20 or 21 when that came out. Now at 44 that’s remake hits differently. I just love it
Turkey Tom doing a video on Ronnie Radke was NOT on my 2024 Bingo card.
Thank you, Tom, for actually referring to Dragonforce in anything other than a negative light. Super underrated, miss those Zune days.
wait who is talking about Dragonforce in a negative way?
@@steflyria Toooo many people here were I am (when you live in rural Canada 😩) That opinion is absolutely NOT mine though! True legends. 🙏🏻
I'll never forget when he got upstaged in ATL by blessthefall and got so pissy that he just left mid set lmao 🤣😂
As being someone who's older and knew pretty much all this due to listening to the band since high school. You did this so well, covering luke holland was a great addition. He also drummed for word alive on their 1rst or 2nd album if i remember right. 10/10 video and a cool twist to the usual.
Saw them in concert last year alongside Catch Your Breath, Our Last Night, and Ice Nine Kills, and they were FANTASTIC. I'm generally not even the biggest fan of FIR, but they definitely did a great performance.
Also I think this is the first time my brother would actually be interested in watching a video you've out out Tom. He loves Falling In Reverse.
I really loved this video such a throwback as someone who was in their “emo phase” (definitely not a phase) when the drug in me is you came out and being a bit confused seeing that they’re now rapping, seeing how Ronnie got to where he is today definitely put a smile on my face
I can acknowledge his success, but after kicking I See Stars from that tour, I can't ever really look at him the same. Dude has always been pretty full of himself. I still went to that concert to see Enter Shikari, but he had a little "I'm human too!" moment during it when people cheered for I See Stars (knowing they weren't there).
Other thing: Motionless in White has been doing movie stuff forever. The whole Creatures album is based on movies like the Crucible, Edward Scissorhands, and Dracula.
His ego has always been pretty shit to watch, despite the first albums of both EtF and FiR being classics.
Motionless in White is one of my favorite bands to this day because of that album. Saw them play it with Black Veil Brides and William Control (lead singer of Aiden)
Hearing Turkey Tom say sanguisugabogg correctly made my day (anyone going to the az show on the 23rd??)
with Jesus Piece and Peeling Flesh right? seeing them in tampa, gonna get mauled in the pits lmao
That sounds like a badass lineup! I'm so jealous of y'all, I really love sanguisugabogg and pretty much all the old school brutal death metal revival stuff
Gonna be at their Cambridge Massachusetts show!
Tom is the kind of guy to write a video about a band he likes.
Man this is bringing me back.
This is eerie cause I was literally listening to “I’m not a vampire” yesterday wondering wtf went wrong with Ronnie lmao this vid is perfect timing.
I was like “damn that’s a lot” then paused it and was only 6 mins in?!?
Suing Playboi Carti for copyright infringement then basically copying the fight scene from the 2nd Matrix film is a bold move for a man in his 40s
You cant copyright dance moves iirc
Ever heard of corporate design and how it is protected? I help you here: a dance routine that slightly looks like a reference to a movie is NOT a protected corporate design!

What happened to the Twomad video, TH-cam took it down while I was listening wtf
I was at the Detroit show where I See Stars was chanted in the venue we were in(I believe it was Saint Andrews). Ronnie fucking HATED it. He had security kick out anyone he thought said it, with people who didn't even chant it getting kicked out. I See Stars is a band from Warren, Michigan, so some fans were there to see them in their home state.
Enter Shikari was GOATed that night though ngl
I saw I see stars back in October
thanks for making this tom, It really brought back a ton of memories for me. I was fortunate enough to see the bury the hatchet tour and to hear about it is reliving it in my mind. thank you
