Congrats to this man. I'm not talking about Alex, I love this Rockfeed guy. The man's putting in the work over the last few years and I'm glad it's paying off.
@@damenwalker5260 eh. I had my rock show back in the day. I'm doing the mom thing now. I miss it sometimes, but my daughter is priority 1 these days. At least I get to teach her about my music and she's having a great time learning to play my guitar(s). It's not my turn any more. It's hers now. I'm good with that. Passing the torch is bittersweet, but I can't think of anyone I'd rather hand it off to.
No he said he didn't regret, because it doesn't change the past mistakes made... he still admits it was mistakes. All people have a past some worse then others but it's just that.... the past he admitted he was in a bad place when it happened that he was trying to find something to take up his time instead of continuing with things that almost killed him. Judge if you must but it's hard to judge the past when it's already in the past.
@@straightfiremetalstraightfirem he did say he was sorry for the tattoo, hence also the reason he covered it up. nazis don't cover up their tattoos unless they stop being a nazi realizing its hateful for no reason. he doesn't surround himself with the bigotry anymore, and has given many people from many different races a job in his band on touring.
@@straightfiremetalstraightfirem he didn't say he was sorry, I was just generalizing. It's Ok to be sorry and change. And, if your point of view is you aren't sorry for a thing, but it was just a period of time, that's OK also.
@@WardenOfTerra I have met my fair share of real ones . They all had something in common despite which group they conform to . That is they wear their tattoos and hate openly . If he was associated then some where we should find him spewing hate openly or even being recorded in private doing so . And the history of that symbol goes way farther back then Germany .Its found all over the world from multiple cultures , tribes and religions . That fact would have gave him an easy out if he wanted but he didn't take it . He was honest . He was young and wanted to look tough or be feared . The end .
“Nazi” is being loosely thrown around like “racist”. The more we use those terms for those who have different views than us then we lower the true weight of the original definitions.
Exactly!! Anyone that disagrees with the current administration is instantly labeled a "nazi" or a "white supremacist". The Nazi party wasn't even right wing!!
This man is absolutely honest, he was honest about his past, he is honest about his current beliefs and isn't afraid to say how he feels. Leave the man alone. If you don't like him, doesn't listen to him and move on. JFC. Rockfee thank you for getting together with him on this!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Takes a man to own up to making mistakes. Takes a even bigger man to wear those mistakes proudly and show others just how stupid he was before bettering himself.
Dam straight he didn't hide and wait a year to respond he came and said I was a kid and searching for something bigger than him self hell I thought I wanted to go to Afghanistan and join you know what but a I was young a angry and dumb love this band even more now
Russian culture is vastly different from American culture - Russians don't have the "white guilt" which is embedded in American culture (and needs to stop) so Alex is adjusting to American culture.
he doesnt regret that time in his life because it formed who he was and got him ofg drugs, he literslly said in the video when he was 25, 26 he looked back at having the tattoo and said he was stupid. it helps to open your ears and listen@straightfiremetalstraightfirem
i think it’s ok that people want that answer from their favorite artist to know where their support goes. it is a symbol used (hijacked) by nazis so i think it’s fair, the more kudos to Alex for owning up to it, admitting he was ignorant or careless and that he knows better, the transparency gives him much more credibility than if he kept silent about it, which certain neo nazi people tend to do
Alex is one of the most honest guys I’ve seen in the music scene. I wish more people would be like him. Everyone makes mistakes. Especially when drugs are involved. I’ll always be a fan of Alex and the Slaughter to Prevail guys! Really glad to hear Rock Feed will be doing more videos like this.
Unbelievable but not surprising… Unfortunately no matter what Alex says, the people throwing these accusations are so full of hatred they’ll never accept it!
When I watch Alex Terrible videos, they are some of the most honest and positive and down to earth messages I've seen from a metal artist. All of his videos spread positivity and good vibes. Everyone trying to say he's a "hateful edgelord" clearly doesn't watch any of his content.
Nothing but respect for this sincerely genuine human being. Who hasn't made a decision that later came back to bite you in the ass? I wish more people were as honest, open and as Alex. I like his attitude.
Everything I've seen of Alex online with his personality and his views on the world, he seems like a really nice and open minded guy. Consistently enough that I believe it's genuine. Hope all the best for him in his success long term. Like he said, the bigger you get the more haters you get
Always appreciated his honesty. People are so intolerant of imperfection, mistakes and faults....all of which are so incredibly human. Like, it is impossible to live a life without these things. I just don't understand the moral superiority complex so many people have. Live long enough you'll hurt people and make dumb mistakes too - no one is immune.
The moral superiority complex you speak of.....comes from keyboard warriors getting a little too comfortable with the fact theyre safe in their on homes as they run their mouths. When it comes face to face, those same people will 9/10 times say nothing at all. Its a very f*cked up dynamic. I think If you say something you should have to stand by it.....People have gotten in this habit of saying sh*t that in most cases in real life would likely get someone k*lled or at the very least their jaw re-worked.
Alex is so kind, he’s like all of us, we fall into a situation, we’re picked up while weak, we say or do things to feel better… but in the end it is the strong that make it out and Alex is one of them! I’ll personally never judge you on your bad past or decisions as long as you have moved on to be better 😊 much love Alex! You had a rough road, glad you got to a better path, we all can learn from you
He didn’t “realize his mistakes” he said himself he regrets nothing. He covered them up so he wouldn’t get cancelled, his words in this very interview 💀
Ozzy didn't eat bats on the reg Alice wasn't cutting people's heads off Marilyn wasn't the Antichrist Alex isn't a Nazi Same narrative, different artist.
My sister and I are the reason for a man denouncing his previous hateful beliefs. My mother grew up with him and like many people in Texas back in the day he fell into a bad crowd. Then my mother had my sister who was mixed race and then she had me who's part Jewish. He changed because of how close he was with my mom. He loves me and my sister just like his own daughters. People can change and they have a right to change.
@@stellak.6095 Where you not able to read the whole thing? It was only 6 sentences. Anyway I'll sum it up for you since you seem to be having a hard time. "People can change and they have a right to change." Basically don't judge people for their past.
@@stellak.6095 so what are you even on about if the man denounced his old ways? there are a lot of people on the earth that get sith the wrong crowd and then leave because they open their eyes to how hateful it is. See The Westboro Baptist Church and folks that got out of it...
Genuinely one of the most humble men to ever exist. Done a lot of stupid things in his life and owns up to it, recognises that what we she was wrong and grows as a person. You'd be hard pressed to find another guy at willing to admit his mistakes
@@straightfiremetalstraightfirem You dont have to regret to learn. Regrets are for people that dont accept their choices and grow. Regret will hold you back if you let it. Accept and move on. F*ck regrets.
if he wasnt in the bad group , he would probably learn that the stuff they are teaching is lies and shit , you are basically trying to say that his 18-20s learning and experiencing various stuff is meaningless , but its not @@straightfiremetalstraightfirem
Dude this is a great format for the year.....Any allegations, give them a platform to speak If they choose. You're stepping it up Rock Feed....Looking forward to this year with you.
Alex owns the fact he was stupid just trying to find a place to fit in during recovery from drugs. These extremists groups feed on the vulnerable and its hard to then break away from those groups. Alex acknowledged he messed up, he was just trying to find his way and can reflect on it. He doesn't regret it because it wad a huge part of his journey into being the person he is.... that doesn't mean he still holds those views. He isn't denying his past affiliations and that's big of him. Thd fact is if he hadn't found that group of people he may gave relapsed on drugs at the time. People can change, he recognised he's views didn't fit and left it behind him to be a better person. Can't falt his transparency on the matter. Do I believe he's s Naz! - no, do I believe he ever really was - not really but do I think he was that stupid young man who was introverted snd just wanted to fit into a group he found himself surrounded by - yes. People also get caught up on some of the language he chooses to use - English isn't this guys first language, he grew up in a totally different culture so he will at times not be able to find the right words. Give him a break.
I think it's absolutely great that Alex took the time to address these allegations if they're that at all I mean these are these are just comments from some f****** really sad lonely person who has nothing else better to do besides Target somebody for their Fame because it in retrospect the person that's that's really the person that's hurting the most. I've always been a huge fan of slaughter to prevail and I'm really happy to see that Alex was very open and he took the time to talk about his past and some of the dumb decisions that he made in his younger years which I'm sure we could all kudos to you and thanks for keeping it heavy
The older I get the more I realise that everyone makes mistakes, everyone does and says dumb stuff, understanding and forgiveness is so important. That being said there is a point of no return or an amount of bad deeds that you can't make excuses for, I get that. We're all human beings. We can all have a conversation. You've done the right thing asking Alex and having him explain his side of things.
Those who follow him know he's spoke on this, covered those nasty ink. He was a dumb young man, living in a different culture that you can't understand unless you've lived it. I too was a dumb young man, but we grow, or try to be a better person. He's trying i think.
I was going to mention that. It was a pretty powerful video and he really does how human he is. People hate him just to hate him but he's a really great person.
I was going to mention that. It was a pretty powerful video and he really shows how human he is. People hate him just to hate him but he's a really great person.
@@diabolikalm Idk ask them, I'm not talking about a person I've no clue about, and their sin way out number what Alex was about. Its like apples and oranges you can't compare Alex to what they do. They kill innocents, you saying Alex has ever done that. Apples and oranges my guy.
Much respect to him owning up to the fact that he was young and stupid and didnt try to hide from it. We've all been there looking for something much bigger than ourselves
Dude, Alex is a Russian who grew up in a completely different culture than most Americans! The dude has been getting hammered in the media a lot recently and he has consistently been defending himself and what he believes in. Unfortunately Germany took a lot of symbolisms and completely destroyed it. Talking from a historical perspective and nothing else. I personally support the guy because he stands up for individualism and being yourself regardless of what other people may think. I'm sure that I may not agree with everything he says, but I can respect the man for being honest about shit and telling everyone else to " fuck off if you don't like me, I don't care@" .. so yeah, I respect that!
I already liked Alex. This just makes me like him more. All these haters are probably really young to not have made stupid mistakes, or older people too cowardly to own up to theirs and are projecting on people like Alex. We are humans, we make mistakes, but we learn from them and grow as people. Sounds like the twitter freaks haven't done much growing or learning. Kudos to Rockfeed for getting Alex's side, and Kudos to Alex for being such an awesome person
Dude, that's super cool that you got Alex to share his side of the story. It would be awesome if you could get more artists "on" the show in one way or another, even if it's just an email exchange or something like that. Keep on keeping it real fam, love the channel, love what you're doing \m/ \m/
All these haters acting like they've never made a mistake or two in their life. Alex is a stand up guy, and I thank Rock Feed for doing the right thing by going straight to the horses mouth.
Anyone can tell that Alex Terrible is one of the nicest guys ever. Even willing to do things like this, just saying yes to being interviewed over video chat for a TH-cam video. Which mainstream musicians do you know who would do that as fast as Alex and do it as good?
Thank you for giving him a platform to respond. I respect him for sharing his past & admitting his mistakes. People who preach tolerance are often the most unforgiving & unwilling to allow people to grow & change, which is is ironic to me.
Honestly once rock, punk, metal has turned into Twitter bs is when it truly died. Sadly, this is obvious with the modern fandom and modern culture in the scene (as someone who's here for very long time so i notice a big difference). This wasn't as prominent even 12 years ago.
Had an old coworker who was a of indigenous decent and had a swatstika (manji) tattoo under his eye. Was hard to get a job for him and he was banned off all social media if he posted his face. I remember him saying one phrase that has always stuck with me and that was “20 years of white history doesn’t erase centuries of mine.”
I am a 19-year-old Lesbian from the States, and on behalf of the LGBT+ community, I likely will be the first to openly admit that our community have our fair share of our own issues. We are sensitive because we've just been hurt so much during our shared history, and most of us choose to put up barriers and claim we are better, but in doing so, we set ourselves apart from the very society we want to accept us. But that's the thing, it's history. Alex is on point! We can feel bad about the shamful things (all of) society does and has done, but its up to us to accept it, learn from it, and move forward collectively. "Collectively," key word! Not just the Fascists and the Right-Wing, but all of Humanity; including the LGBT+ Community! We can't take anything for granted, life is way too short for that, and people are fallible. We just have to learn, grow, and go with the flow, (It rhymes, so you know it's good advice!) And repeat it all again. We cannot be better unless we choose to be better... In all aspects. People from all walks of life could learn from this man.
As a gay male from the U.K. I 1000% agree, I’ve been saying for years, there are so many issues within our community that refused to get addressed and it’s frustrating, to the point where a lot of us get away with the very thing we claim to be against which is hatred
Awesome stuff dude, credit to you for giving his this opportunity to tell his side of the story, and credit to him for being honest and humble enough to tell the truth and admit he made mistakes
I don’t listen to them as a band ..I’m not into the hard screaming but mad respect for this guy .Hes honest and seems like a real genuine dude ..He cares about his fans too .If they were playing at a festival and I was there I would go watch them for sure …good interview.
I can relate with Alex. I've been at both sides of the political debate. I never went too far either side. But I have come to realise if society need to be civil honest and respectful. Being center is best
Not the greatest deathcore fan, but I dabble from time to time. Alex has got to be one of the most authentic people I've ever seen. I love his humility and the monsterous voice he's harboring inside. It's incredible. Guys like him and Ronnie will always have my respect, especially when they don't bow the knee to the hypocritical crazies in cancel culture. Thank you for this interview. God bless!
We all do things we're not proud of, and Twitter is the WORST place in the world to get a decent assessment of whether or not you're doing the right thing in life. Fuck those assholes. Alex kicks ass! Rockfeed kicks ass! Y'all keep being badasses! 💖🤘🏻💖
This is growth. Instead of trying to ruin someone's life due to past mistakes, look at yourself and realize that we have chosen bad things in the past. Like Joey Swole says "do better". Alex has chosen to do better. Good on him.
to all the ppl trying to come at this dude rn for this. I bet you have said/done something in the past you wish you didn't, ppl grow and change over time so do plz learn the facts before you start typing away all the hate you breed on social media.
Sounds good to me! I Had a very similar journey to Alex. After going through severe addiction you are looking for any person or group or thing to just grasp to hopefully take yourself in a better direction. Alex is a true king and all those who want to sit behind their computers, clutch their pearls, and act like they are the arbiters of all morality should look at their own mistakes and ask themselves where their lives would be if they were condemned for their own shortcomings or should they themselves be given a chance to overcome.
Pathetic hyper sensitive people have nothing better to do than try to cancel people that are succeeding in life more than themselves. Keyboard warriors have nothing better to do. Alex is a good person, people make mistakes. It’s what makes us human.
Just saw them in London. The man did a speech about improving the world with kindness and taking responsibility for your actions. Everyone does dumb stuff as a kid, now he is an adult spreading positivity and creating amazing music. Some people just love to hate.
Alex might be Satan, but definitely not a nazi. And Satan doesn't discriminate against anybody. Lol! Seriously though, I used to draw pentagrams on my notebooks at school, but never worshipped the devil. I was a kid and didn't care what people thought.
People make mistakes, people grow, people learn from their past. I will always stand with Alex and the band, I've not seen anything but love from them.
@@gettinbucked42069 I thought so too. But guess what? My musical tastes expanded, and now I listen to them every day. Just because you don’t like something doesn’t mean it’s not good. You have better things to do then spread hate on the internet
Dont deny a person's path or chance at redemption, those with good intentions and good hearts seek to reedeem themselves of their faults and mistakes. if you follow a path to right your wrongs and educate yourself is one of good and positivity. Many people deserve a chance at redemption. If we could change every real nazi or neo-nazi racist fascist and hateful hearted persons ideology to a more positive and accepting and loving one of unity and peace, wouldnt that be the best and most caring and wise path? Be kind and Peace to you all, Rock on.. 🤘
I think it's a cool move from Rockfeed to give Alex the opportunity to respond to this directly. This is, what journalism should do and not even fire up the rumors and alligations. Good job, much respect for this move.
I can understand Alex went down a dumb ass road, everybody makes mistakes, it's not the end of the world. Most won't belive him, those people don't matter. I met Alex and the band when they came through PA and he is one of the funniest, genuine guys, who is definetly not afraid to speak his mind. Haters are gonna hate, he needs to ignore all that, he owes none of us an apology and for the people who won't understand and want to hate, you don't matter.
Even if that were true, you cannot force someone to believe what you believe, even if what they believe is offensive to you. I hate nazis but if it's true then that's his choice. He is saying he isn't but even if it was true, ITS HIS RIGHT TO BELIEVE WHATEVER THE F HE BELIEVES. you cannot force everyone to like everyone for whatever they are or believe, that's insane. Enough of this crap. You either like him and or his music or you don't.
Much respect for him being honest and flat out genuine about his past and wrong doings. Not a lot people in or out this industry can do that. much respect
Man! I love this direction of your channel, your channel has come a long way! Great video and keep up the great work! I think we have come down a deep negative hole! We have to remember that we have 2 ears and eyes and 1 mouth, we should be listening, seeing and try to understand more than se vocalize our own preconceived notions.
We all learn and grow under every imaginable and unimaginable condition and situation. We are each on our own individual journeys, and it is refreshing to see this approach: Go right to the person in question, and ask them straight up. All of our lives have mistakes, poor judgements, and wrongs. Good on Ivan for being forthcoming, honest, and real.
Much respect for giving the dude a chance to tell his side. You were fair and unbiased
It’s important to me. Thank you!

Girl I understand wanting to be relevant but you're not making any sense. Dude's Russian and he just said how and why he changed
@@stellak.6095 Where you not able to read the whole thing? It was only 6 sentences. Anyway I'll sum it up for you since you seem to be having a hard time. "People can change and they have a right to change." Basically don't judge people for their past.
Sounds pretty gay
@@Miss_Kisa94 Oh I was, that's why I said what I said
@@stellak.6095 so what are you even on about if the man denounced his old ways?
there are a lot of people on the earth that get sith the wrong crowd and then leave because they open their eyes to how hateful it is. See The Westboro Baptist Church and folks that got out of it...
Genuinely one of the most humble men to ever exist. Done a lot of stupid things in his life and owns up to it, recognises that what we she was wrong and grows as a person.
You'd be hard pressed to find another guy at willing to admit his mistakes
Hes doesnt regret it, said so himself
@@straightfiremetalstraightfirem You dont have to regret to learn. Regrets are for people that dont accept their choices and grow. Regret will hold you back if you let it. Accept and move on. F*ck regrets.
if he wasnt in the bad group , he would probably learn that the stuff they are teaching is lies and shit , you are basically trying to say that his 18-20s learning and experiencing various stuff is meaningless , but its not @@straightfiremetalstraightfirem

Dude this is a great format for the year.....Any allegations, give them a platform to speak If they choose. You're stepping it up Rock Feed....Looking forward to this year with you.
Alex owns the fact he was stupid just trying to find a place to fit in during recovery from drugs. These extremists groups feed on the vulnerable and its hard to then break away from those groups. Alex acknowledged he messed up, he was just trying to find his way and can reflect on it. He doesn't regret it because it wad a huge part of his journey into being the person he is.... that doesn't mean he still holds those views. He isn't denying his past affiliations and that's big of him. Thd fact is if he hadn't found that group of people he may gave relapsed on drugs at the time. People can change, he recognised he's views didn't fit and left it behind him to be a better person. Can't falt his transparency on the matter.
Do I believe he's s Naz! - no, do I believe he ever really was - not really but do I think he was that stupid young man who was introverted snd just wanted to fit into a group he found himself surrounded by - yes.
People also get caught up on some of the language he chooses to use - English isn't this guys first language, he grew up in a totally different culture so he will at times not be able to find the right words. Give him a break.
Well said. There may be hope for this world If more subscribed to this philosophy.
edit - typo
i finally found a take on this that isn't super condescending form either side. thank you for this
Thanks for having Alex on to speak for himself.
The dude saying " deathcore sucks " calling someone else an edgelord is pretty ironic
I think it's absolutely great that Alex took the time to address these allegations if they're that at all I mean these are these are just comments from some f****** really sad lonely person who has nothing else better to do besides Target somebody for their Fame because it in retrospect the person that's that's really the person that's hurting the most. I've always been a huge fan of slaughter to prevail and I'm really happy to see that Alex was very open and he took the time to talk about his past and some of the dumb decisions that he made in his younger years which I'm sure we could all kudos to you and thanks for keeping it heavy
I had a tattoo that I regretted deeply, but now I have an incredible cover up and a better heart. God bless you and Alex for doing this! 🙏
The older I get the more I realise that everyone makes mistakes, everyone does and says dumb stuff, understanding and forgiveness is so important. That being said there is a point of no return or an amount of bad deeds that you can't make excuses for, I get that. We're all human beings. We can all have a conversation. You've done the right thing asking Alex and having him explain his side of things.
Thanks for giving him the chance to speak. Very cool to have you connecting to the artists, cutting out the middle man!
Those who follow him know he's spoke on this, covered those nasty ink. He was a dumb young man, living in a different culture that you can't understand unless you've lived it. I too was a dumb young man, but we grow, or try to be a better person. He's trying i think.
I was going to mention that. It was a pretty powerful video and he really does how human he is. People hate him just to hate him but he's a really great person.

Okay. So do you accept that jihadists can also be de-radicalised and would you also br as accepting then? 🤔
@@diabolikalm
Idk ask them, I'm not talking about a person I've no clue about, and their sin way out number what Alex was about. Its like apples and oranges you can't compare Alex to what they do. They kill innocents, you saying Alex has ever done that. Apples and oranges my guy.
Much respect to him owning up to the fact that he was young and stupid and didnt try to hide from it. We've all been there looking for something much bigger than ourselves
Alex is still the man… The hell with the hater’s 👊
Dude, Alex is a Russian who grew up in a completely different culture than most Americans!
The dude has been getting hammered in the media a lot recently and he has consistently been defending himself and what he believes in.
Unfortunately Germany took a lot of symbolisms and completely destroyed it. Talking from a historical perspective and nothing else.
I personally support the guy because he stands up for individualism and being yourself regardless of what other people may think. I'm sure that I may not agree with everything he says, but I can respect the man for being honest about shit and telling everyone else to " fuck off if you don't like me, I don't care@" .. so yeah, I respect that!
Hearing Alex say he is an introverted person shocked me, but it does make me feel better about being introverted as well, great video as always
I already liked Alex. This just makes me like him more. All these haters are probably really young to not have made stupid mistakes, or older people too cowardly to own up to theirs and are projecting on people like Alex. We are humans, we make mistakes, but we learn from them and grow as people. Sounds like the twitter freaks haven't done much growing or learning.
Kudos to Rockfeed for getting Alex's side, and Kudos to Alex for being such an awesome person
Really like the new studio set up! 🤘
The way he speaks he so open, i believe him!
The irony is, the overwhelming majority of those labelling him a “nazi” are in fact expressing antisemitic notions themselves.
You can just tell how sincere he is, bro isn't hiding anything.
alex is a legend
Dude, that's super cool that you got Alex to share his side of the story. It would be awesome if you could get more artists "on" the show in one way or another, even if it's just an email exchange or something like that. Keep on keeping it real fam, love the channel, love what you're doing \m/ \m/
All these haters acting like they've never made a mistake or two in their life. Alex is a stand up guy, and I thank Rock Feed for doing the right thing by going straight to the horses mouth.
Anyone can tell that Alex Terrible is one of the nicest guys ever. Even willing to do things like this, just saying yes to being interviewed over video chat for a TH-cam video. Which mainstream musicians do you know who would do that as fast as Alex and do it as good?
Thank you for giving him a platform to respond. I respect him for sharing his past & admitting his mistakes. People who preach tolerance are often the most unforgiving & unwilling to allow people to grow & change, which is is ironic to me.
Honestly once rock, punk, metal has turned into Twitter bs is when it truly died. Sadly, this is obvious with the modern fandom and modern culture in the scene (as someone who's here for very long time so i notice a big difference). This wasn't as prominent even 12 years ago.
Don’t often leave comments but after this video it’s well deserved. Fair play giving Alex the platform to put his side across.
Had an old coworker who was a of indigenous decent and had a swatstika (manji) tattoo under his eye. Was hard to get a job for him and he was banned off all social media if he posted his face. I remember him saying one phrase that has always stuck with me and that was “20 years of white history doesn’t erase centuries of mine.”
The manji is a symbol of peace and love. People are just uneducated and quick to jump to conclusions rather than ask questions.
Ok, but that doesn't apply Alex because because he got it in virtue of it being a nazi symbol.
Much respect for making this interview happen and for Alex to do the interview. Awesome to see some genuine human interaction.
I am a 19-year-old Lesbian from the States, and on behalf of the LGBT+ community, I likely will be the first to openly admit that our community have our fair share of our own issues. We are sensitive because we've just been hurt so much during our shared history, and most of us choose to put up barriers and claim we are better, but in doing so, we set ourselves apart from the very society we want to accept us.
But that's the thing, it's history. Alex is on point! We can feel bad about the shamful things (all of) society does and has done, but its up to us to accept it, learn from it, and move forward collectively.
"Collectively," key word! Not just the Fascists and the Right-Wing, but all of Humanity; including the LGBT+ Community! We can't take anything for granted, life is way too short for that, and people are fallible. We just have to learn, grow, and go with the flow, (It rhymes, so you know it's good advice!) And repeat it all again.
We cannot be better unless we choose to be better... In all aspects. People from all walks of life could learn from this man.
As a gay male from the U.K. I 1000% agree, I’ve been saying for years, there are so many issues within our community that refused to get addressed and it’s frustrating, to the point where a lot of us get away with the very thing we claim to be against which is hatred
Awesome stuff dude, credit to you for giving his this opportunity to tell his side of the story, and credit to him for being honest and humble enough to tell the truth and admit he made mistakes
Much respect for Alex.
I don’t listen to them as a band ..I’m not into the hard screaming but mad respect for this guy .Hes honest and seems like a real genuine dude ..He cares about his fans too .If they were playing at a festival and I was there I would go watch them for sure …good interview.
How dare anyone not allow someone to learn from their mistakes
Love the new background, first time I see it. Thanks for the news!
Of topic, I'd would love to see Alex Terrible fight Ronnie Radke. 😂😂
BRUH. 😂that would be a crazy two seconds. 😂
also, i am a fan of both artists (more of an AT/STP fan, though). but Alex would flatten Ronnie like a pancake lol
You can technically see it now in the new Falling in Reverse track 😆
@@ghost_to_a_ghost I remember seeing a clip from an interview where someone offered Ronnie to fight Alex, and he was like HELL NO!
Yup. Fair play to him for saying this. And nice to have Rock Feed giving unbiased coverage
Ronnie radke is becoming the new Corey Taylor, has to get his opinion on everything out there publicly
Don't do Corey like that.
@@thelittleblackhairgirl9669nah
His X comment in this video was hilarious though because probably true.
Lmao not eeeeven
yeh just another emo with A.D.D and a big mouth
I can relate with Alex. I've been at both sides of the political debate. I never went too far either side. But I have come to realise if society need to be civil honest and respectful. Being center is best
"do you have a secret agenda?" "no" "okay"
man this is certainly one of the interviews of all time
Not the greatest deathcore fan, but I dabble from time to time. Alex has got to be one of the most authentic people I've ever seen. I love his humility and the monsterous voice he's harboring inside. It's incredible.
Guys like him and Ronnie will always have my respect, especially when they don't bow the knee to the hypocritical crazies in cancel culture. Thank you for this interview. God bless!
We all do things we're not proud of, and Twitter is the WORST place in the world to get a decent assessment of whether or not you're doing the right thing in life. Fuck those assholes. Alex kicks ass! Rockfeed kicks ass! Y'all keep being badasses!
💖🤘🏻💖
This is growth. Instead of trying to ruin someone's life due to past mistakes, look at yourself and realize that we have chosen bad things in the past. Like Joey Swole says "do better". Alex has chosen to do better. Good on him.
I second that. Proud of Alex.
to all the ppl trying to come at this dude rn for this.
I bet you have said/done something in the past you wish you didn't, ppl grow and change over time so do plz learn the facts before you start typing away all the hate you breed on social media.
pretty coincidental he moves to murica and starts getting these allegations, seems like a murica thing to do.
Nice new setup, great interview with Alex. Continue to grow!
So many whimps on X complaining, like grow up
Sounds good to me! I Had a very similar journey to Alex. After going through severe addiction you are looking for any person or group or thing to just grasp to hopefully take yourself in a better direction. Alex is a true king and all those who want to sit behind their computers, clutch their pearls, and act like they are the arbiters of all morality should look at their own mistakes and ask themselves where their lives would be if they were condemned for their own shortcomings or should they themselves be given a chance to overcome.
What did he do that’s “sooo bad” now
Pathetic hyper sensitive people have nothing better to do than try to cancel people that are succeeding in life more than themselves. Keyboard warriors have nothing better to do. Alex is a good person, people make mistakes. It’s what makes us human.
Fully respect and support Alex. Love ❤️
Ronnie Radke is spot on.
The same people whining about the cover, unironically support hamas.
Just saw them in London. The man did a speech about improving the world with kindness and taking responsibility for your actions. Everyone does dumb stuff as a kid, now he is an adult spreading positivity and creating amazing music. Some people just love to hate.
This is simple, haters gonna hate.
Super impressed with how direct the questioning was. Keep it up.
Alex might be Satan, but definitely not a nazi. And Satan doesn't discriminate against anybody. Lol! Seriously though, I used to draw pentagrams on my notebooks at school, but never worshipped the devil. I was a kid and didn't care what people thought.
People make mistakes, people grow, people learn from their past. I will always stand with Alex and the band, I've not seen anything but love from them.
Absolute legend right here, nothing more needs to be said, love Alex!
Legend of garbage music.
@@gettinbucked42069 interesting opinion, but nothing more than that. Have a good day kid!
@@gettinbucked42069 I thought so too. But guess what? My musical tastes expanded, and now I listen to them every day. Just because you don’t like something doesn’t mean it’s not good. You have better things to do then spread hate on the internet
In a world full of flaws forgiveness is the key----for those who seek it and those who give it.
alex literally made a video about this like a month or two ago. he already explained these things.
Love the new background set for the videos
Dont deny a person's path or chance at redemption, those with good intentions and good hearts seek to reedeem themselves of their faults and mistakes.
if you follow a path to right your wrongs and educate yourself is one of good and positivity.
Many people deserve a chance at redemption.
If we could change every real nazi or neo-nazi racist fascist and hateful hearted persons ideology to a more positive and accepting and loving one of unity and peace, wouldnt that be the best and most caring and wise path?
Be kind and Peace to you all, Rock on.. 🤘
I think it's a cool move from Rockfeed to give Alex the opportunity to respond to this directly. This is, what journalism should do and not even fire up the rumors and alligations. Good job, much respect for this move.
I can understand Alex went down a dumb ass road, everybody makes mistakes, it's not the end of the world. Most won't belive him, those people don't matter. I met Alex and the band when they came through PA and he is one of the funniest, genuine guys, who is definetly not afraid to speak his mind. Haters are gonna hate, he needs to ignore all that, he owes none of us an apology and for the people who won't understand and want to hate, you don't matter.
Even if that were true, you cannot force someone to believe what you believe, even if what they believe is offensive to you. I hate nazis but if it's true then that's his choice. He is saying he isn't but even if it was true, ITS HIS RIGHT TO BELIEVE WHATEVER THE F HE BELIEVES. you cannot force everyone to like everyone for whatever they are or believe, that's insane. Enough of this crap. You either like him and or his music or you don't.
I've been waiting to hear his side. Ty for doing this.
People are so damn stupid these days
Much respect for him being honest and flat out genuine about his past and wrong doings. Not a lot people in or out this industry can do that. much respect
He's a liar, I saw him on video beating up a black bear.
If it was a polar bear
none of this would be happening!
I swear people love to act like they've never made a mistake in their life.
Don't fall for all this BS. Just some young, lefty writers.
New studio is 🔥🔥
Woke America doing woke America things. So fckn annoying!
Godam bs woke trend fed by the bs corporate government on MSM ..they eat that shit up like the memes and text they post.

Shadow ban comment I see
Man! I love this direction of your channel, your channel has come a long way! Great video and keep up the great work! I think we have come down a deep negative hole! We have to remember that we have 2 ears and eyes and 1 mouth, we should be listening, seeing and try to understand more than se vocalize our own preconceived notions.
There is no such thing as hate speech. It’s subjective.
We all learn and grow under every imaginable and unimaginable condition and situation. We are each on our own individual journeys, and it is refreshing to see this approach: Go right to the person in question, and ask them straight up.
All of our lives have mistakes, poor judgements, and wrongs. Good on Ivan for being forthcoming, honest, and real.
