Rockfest is a joke. I’ll never forget the amazing time I had there…In the cover band tent. That was were the true music fans were hanging out. You could get close to the stage and hanging out with great musicians. The bar was right there and you could let loose. You have to have an admission ticket along with an individual ticket to get close to the stage for the bands you wanted to see. The main stages on the other hand were a joke. You had to have an individual ticket for each band in order to get close to the stage. When you were at ANY stage you were not allowed to mosh. Just nickel and diming and controlling the fans. Ronnie is right on everything he said about this venue

its not for vibrato. He has natural vibrato, he's opera trained. He uses it to get vocal dynamics with louder and quieter vocals where he wants them. In the studio he can step back if he wants to get quieter, but he cant live when walking around. Many singers pull away from the mic, just watch any live performance from Paramore Hayley pulls back from the mic a lot.
@@briannanicole8512 I wish Ronnie wouldn't do that though. If they have a good sound tech they should be able to adjust for the volume differences. I don't think volume differences matter too much in a live environment when it comes to metal/rock, rather in this case it takes away from the performance. every time he pulls away. As a vocalist myself I WANT to hear it fully. Ronnie is an amazing vocalist and I want to hear it all!
Loved the ending to this where he went out in the rain and fist bumped a bunch of fans too, no matter how much hate I see he gets, I'll always love him and everything he does!!
That’s gotta be one of the coolest live performances of Popular Monster that Ronnie has ever done. The thunderstorms rolling in is an epic backdrop for the song
Fans really blew this out of the water to talk shit. Video doesn't lie. But seeing that view of the storm behind him for Popular Monster was so crazy looking. Very cool.
@@MyConcertCollection oh it looks so great. I got a video of nothing more doing "go to war" at inkcarceration last year in the pouring rain. It made the song so much more intense. But after 6 hrs i was pretty sick of being in the rain. My hands were hurting from it
the teamwork between ronnie and the backing vocalist is phenomenal. backing vocalist always knows exactly when ronnie is about to/needs to take a pause. it really keeps the flow of the performance going
@@diddyfaplord no. i mean the backing vocalist. you can clearly hear him. there is a backing track obviously because he cant sing that hard for that long, or hit some of those notes with that intensity. thats why you can hear it clearly at the parts that cause the most strain
Thanks for posting this. This was the first year i missed Rock Fest and when my mom told me about it, i had to see for myself what Ronnie did so very grateful you posted this
It's entirely the promotors fault. The entire area for fans was full of chairs and seats for a rock festival which is mind boggling to me. He had every right to be pissed about it. It sucks too because I was there shouting from the back to every song and nobody else was singing at all. Such a huge difference from Rockzilla last year which was amazing.
@@elidavidson5503 And then cry and bitch about it on Twitter the following day. And lead the crowd in Michigan the following night in a "fuck Wisconsin" chant. Keep it classy, Ronnie!
Not to mention he posted about how bad Cadott, Wi was. Called everyone cheese curds. 😂 I was at the show. The songs he did sing were amazing, but not sure it was worth standing in the torrential downpour the full hour before he went on stage.
This goes back to what M. Shadows said in an interview. People say they want rock stars to be hard and dangerous but then bitch and moan when rock stars are hard and dangerous.
I was at his Asheville show and I don’t blame him. This was the quietest crowd I’ve EVER heard. Asheville crowd was insaneeee and he has never played there.
yeah rockfest is a bunch of buttrock dad bands that like to play, VIp seating for 50 rows Infront of the stage, lawn chairs to the sides and behind that and GA so far from the stage. So it's a bunch of older folks out that way is why. I personally was only there for wage war, ice nine kills, FIR, my friends band versus me and slipknot so VIP wasn't an option for me. Sad to see how that festival is and after that experience im never spending my money to go there ever again.
I’ll say this: the people who were there for FIR and jamming along really gave it a go. Like you can tell they had fans present from the singing along, just a shame about the rest or how the rest of the crowd were feeling
I was the only guy that went nuts when they went on so much so their camera guy came right up and recorded me going crazy. Im 39 went so nuts i threw my back out
I was there and i didnt think anything he said was in a negative light. The crowds were quiet and not pumped up at all and it was good motivation. The rain was BAD and the prior day we had to take cover from lightning before pantera. You sit in lawn chairs and most of the up front is vip. They did not allow ANY moshing or pushing. I was up front for Dorothy at another stage and bumped someone while jamming and it was like these people had never been to a concert before.
I was there too, super disappointed in the shortened set but the main stage at Rock Fest has a HORRIBLE set up that’s not conducive for a ROCK festival. That on top of getting downpoured on repeatedly for two days, it definitely didn’t have the same energy as any other FIR show I’ve been to! My friends and the whole group around me were screaming every word to every song but we weren’t in VIP so it’s not like that makes a difference from the stage. 😂 I’ve seen Ronnie and the guys at Welcome to Rockville and back in the day on Warped Tour multiple times, and it was PHENOMENAL, I’ll stick to DWP festivals from now on, that was my first and last time at Rock Fest. 😬 (I mean, my first FIR show was at Station4 in 2012 before it was condemned- a hole in the wall metal bar in the twin cities, and I’d definitely choose that over rock fest)
It’s hilarious to see Ronnie really try to engage the crowd. He like does his best to show he is actually rapping that fast by drawling attention to his mouth while he is doing it, holding the mic far away to show it’s not a backing track, or even pointing at the back up vocalist. This crowd just was ass for him and it sounds like the promoter fucked up.
I've seen them like 5 times back in the day. Not my favorite band anymore but they always put on a great show. 11 years ago when they came on stage they had made their own version of the Full House opening. It was hilarious
@@Sam-uu2nx I just found out about them when Popular Monster showed up on Octane, and I was like "Where have they been all my life?" Missed them in my area this time around :(
Thanks for posting this! I was in the pit on the other side where he couldnt walk down due to a huge puddle 😢 But it was an amazing show! You can def tell who his real fans are by everyone else getting so pissed about what he said 😅
I've never seen them live, but I've watched some on here, and each time, he was doing something similar. So I Personally, I think it's part of the show right before that set. Just my opinion, I wasn't there but would love to see them live sometime.
I don't see the controversy, that first part he said "I'm an asshole just like you" and then played that song Just Like You as a transition into that song, and the 2nd time seemed to be joking around when he said he'd only come back if people bought Merch, and that last bit he still said he loves the fans, at least from seeing this he doesn't seem to be an Arrogant Dick like everyone says he was I'm still excited to see FIR with Avenged Sevenfold in a couple months hopefully with no rain
I don’t see the issue. He called them out, which was him being an asshole. then called himself an asshole and then went right into just like you. I feel like it he meant it but it was in a way that hyped up the next song.
Really appreciate you sharing even as it’s raining ☔️ people are making way to much of this! Ronnie’s vocals have just been insane, he’s so incredible and the whole band kill it every show! Love ❤️ Falling In Reverse🤟❤️🙌🥰🎶rain and all!!!
Wow right at the beginning those were the most half assed woo’s I’ve ever heard. I get being tired hot and wet from the rain but like when I was a kid I waited over an hour in the pouring rain for Meat Loaf and the crowd was LOUD and that was at a fairgrounds with not nearly this many people
The story not told in this video is that this was day 4 for a lot of people there in the blistering heat (literally no shade anywhere) and an hour before this show there was a tornado within a couple miles of the festival. It had been pouring rain on and off for a couple hours before/during FIR and people were mentally/physically exhausted. Now combine that with Slipknot playing next and most of the single day ticket holders being there for Slipknot (Slipknot sold out of merch early and there was basically no line for FIR merch). A lot of people who weren’t exhausted were saving their energy for Slipknot. This festival also has a no moshing policy and the performers are made aware of that before signing up and before taking the stage. After the show Ronnie publicly complained about being served raw chicken even though the records showed he was served fried fish. He also complained about having to use a dirty portable toilet even though the performers get to use state of the art bathrooms backstage. There are other claims Ronnie made too that were flat out lies. He was just mad that they weren’t doing well on merch sales there.
Yeah but the song and his vocals are playing the whole time as he repeats half of it. Hes basically singing to his own cd, or not really singing it at all. kinda lame but cool song.
Fans overreacted online (shocker), in my opinion. Ronnie gave his honest opinion on the show and people didn’t like it, per usual. He was right though. Great show and great video!
Ronnie has an amazing vocal range. His scream is reminiscent of the late Chester Bennington's voice 😍. Tyler's backing vocals are a topic of conversation in themselves😎
@@stetsonholland5109 I disagree with you. Yes, Ronnie Radke had a troubled past where he lived outside the rules, stole money, and engaged in deceit. However, he was able to eradicate his negative habits and overcome the challenges he faced. Through several decisive steps and sheer determination, he transformed his future 👌 Today, he is a well-known and popular singer who has made a significant breakthrough in the music industry. His unique talents and soulful voice have captivated the hearts of listeners worldwide. He has become an inspiration to many, demonstrating that true change is possible when a person is willing to put an end to old habits and strive for self-improvement⚡ This singer has become a symbol of transformation and hope, proving that each of us can overcome our obstacles and create a new, successful life. His story serves as an important reminder of the importance of believing in oneself, taking responsibility for our actions, and persistently striving for the better 🤩
Fully agree bro if u watch slipknot its like no one’s into it definitely a boring crowd and the promoter is dumb it’s a rock fest lol I wanna be moshing not standing around lol
I was just at a show, saw Jinjer, Breaking Benjamin and Disturbed… people were soooo wack Jinjer is heavy and so many were just standing around. I guess we’re all different but I was pretty annoyed like let go and let loose take it all in. 100% would start some shit in the pit 😂😅
I just watched your video. Great job and you can tell that there were pockets of fans and others who werent. Bands feed off the crowd energy, so if tje crowd feels flat, they are less hyped as well. I understand his frustration. Side note. I just screenshot a portion of the catwalk rain portion. There is a place by my work that can convert camera phone images to art work. Id love to send you one as a thank you. I dont have social media so is there a safe way to get your address?
had to watch for myself, and I can see he just doesn’t feel the energy from the crowd. the no mosh pit part completely ruins the whole vibe. I guess the venue didn’t treat the band well either. I can see why they got on stage late and off stage early .. it was literally storming and seemed out of their control. the merch thing deff sounded like a joke bc he doesn’t really change his tone or smile when he’s messing around. and the yelling at the crowd to move and stuff is normal, he’s trying to hype them up. idk id blame the venue and weather mostly. that shot at the end performing popular monster in the rain was v nice tho.
Damn I saw him a few days before in Peoria IL and what a HUGE difference. Our show was AMAZING. No wonder he was frustrated about this show. He literally trolled us twice at our show before all star 😂 he also played situations at our show, surprised it wasn’t played here.
What he forgets, is things like Rockfest, your band needs to put on a show, he has no energy, no headbanging, it's sad when your lead guitarist is more interesting to watch.
I saw FIR perform at Sonic Boom like 8 years ago or more and the performance was 100% better than the live concerts I've seen from them lately that people put on You Tube... The songs and the music videos themselves are killer, the performance...eh, makes me glad I don't go to concerts anymore. Just my opinions.
When rock fest began in cadott after ozzfest stopped in Somerset WI at floatrite amphitheater. I went to one rock fest and @fallinginreverse is right the stage setup the so called pit in front where you cant do anything and the stage is so far up it sucked especially when the pit pass costs extra. The first 100 rows are fenced off and have seats, general admission is behind all that stuff and absolutely stupid set-up. I want to battle to the front get my elbows on that stage and go nuts and give it all to keep that spot where your favorite artist is mear inches away not 100's of feet away. What a shame Ronnie would have appreciated old school ozzfest watch slipknots first ozzfest in Somerset and see a real festival nothing but blood sweat and tears and by the way im in that crowd at ozzfest
Now for a band or any performer to not go back to a venue has to be due to the experience they had at the location. I mean if the customer doesn’t like a location or venue or a place then they won’t be coming back we’ll same for the performers when it comes to venues. Sorry I work at a venue like this in Fort Worth & we make sure both performers & customers get to our venue their safe & have a great experience before & after the event
He looked a bit confused at first. You could tell the further on they played, he got more and more frustrated. When he's used to people going nuts in sold out arenas, a dead venue can be awful.
Thanks for proving all the bs comments wrong. They clearly played more than 6 songs, they did play in the rain, he did point the finger at the promter and didn't just storm off stage at the end... it's clear a lot of the people that were apparently there are trolling
Actually he did all that. He called us “lazy pieces of shit” and left like we weren’t in the rain all day and still showed up for his bitch ass 🙄 I only went to rockfest to see Pantera and hang out with my brothers in their element and I had no idea who this even was but literally everyone there was singing this shit word for word with a lot more energy then him. 😅 He literally just throws his arms around and people call it “energy”. The fuck? There’s more “energy” at a country music concert then whatever the hell this fool puts out 😅
I just saw him in OKC on the 18th we were pumped. It was so loud. There was no silence. You couldn’t hear just one or two voices during song changes. They took a little break and we all chanted “ Ronnie” loudly. This is embarrassing. It had also been like 110 degrees and we waited in the heat and sun for hours. He came on just as it got dark but it was still in the high 90’s.
@@daniecarolina6828 Had very little to do with the fans, I was there. Rockfest rules don't allow for moshing and even if you could there's benches for dozens of yards out from the stage that would make it worse to mosh. Pair that with the rain, the shitty food and layout of rockfest and you get fans that disengage. The promoters for Rockfest are garbage. I miss Northern Invasion, that was a decent venue with multiple large stage areas and good food. Not to mention moshing was allowed with plenty of space to do so. My only complaint is that he, mildly, took it out on the fans first. Love Ronni and the gang, will continue to support them.
I was there for this. And the real issue is the venue itself. They surround the stage with wooden VIP benches, and do not allow moshing of any sort. It's been like this forever at this venue and they've basically conditioned the crowd to not participate. Also, the constant pouring rain, and thunder didn't help anything. Now that being said, Ronnie could've been a lot more professional about it. The constant online bickering does no favors to anyone.
While not familiar with this band... I watched the opening song seems fine. But I do AGREE with him that now a days crowds do suck at shows.... not really getting into it just standing there. I was at the Metallica show in New Jersey where Pantera opened. I heard a group of older guys saying back in the day there would have been a huge mosh pit on the floor, at this show there was like tiny little ones! These youths don't know how to "concert." LOL
This came across my feed and I was like “what is the controversy?” Tried to skim some comments to see if it said. Then saw the time stamps for what was said. I’m not really sure how anyone took this overly serious? Especially at the end when he says “all jokes aside,” has no one been to a live event when the band interacts and at times fucks with the crowd? Chris motionless pointed out the crowd was doing the chicken peck head bob, and no one lost their shit about it. They are trying to get the crowd into it. Maybe they are the opening act somewhere that may not be well known to them. Hell I’ve been to several shows the opening band I had not heard anything from and by the end of their set I’m hooked. But then again, everyone finds a reason to be mad these days.
Keep supporting this guy. He started late, Only paced the stage, didnt really work the crowd. He is a great studio musician. Ill stream his stuff but if I want to see a performance Ill go see someone else. I didnt pay to entertain him.
I get what you’re saying but alot of artists perform better overall if they see the crowd is fully behind them and supporting them. Some bands/artists perform worse if the crowd isn’t in to it. In fact it’s very rare to find artists who can keep up the same high end performance with a shitty crowd. Ronnie’s never been afraid to say what’s on his mind. In fact sometimes in might work up the crowd if he does it. He probably doesn’t perform as well if the crowd isn’t in to it. It’s a tough industry.
I’ve seen him play since ETF days. He knows how to perform, and command the stage well. I have worked many shows for different bands/artists. I have to say Ronnie is so right to call the promoter out. This stage setup was shit as is, then if you add rain to it… I can almost promise he couldn’t walk on certain parts. Also, artists feed off the crowd’s energy. If the crowd isn’t into it for whatever reason (weather, bad setup, not the best stage time, being tired, or simply the band not being their “cup of tea” the artist feels it. His vocals are great live and honestly he’s one of the few singers that doesn’t use a recording for all the vocals. (Not saying other bands don’t sing) If you’re basing your decision of whether to see them live or not this wouldn’t be the example I would use 😅
@@franniebear777 It isnt just this show. He played short set next day in Michigan. He has cancelled or shortened many shows. Other artist had same crowd but some how managed to perform. Im not cancelling him just would never spend my money for him. If he opens for another act i would still go.
@@sdaftermath123 I didnt pay to entertain the performers. Other bands might not have liked the setup or the crowds but still put on great shows. Im not trying to cancel this guy. I just wont spend my hard earned money and make arraignments to go see him.
I have a dream in my life. That dream is go to Falling in Reverse's concert. But... well, I'm brazilian, I live in a city that bands don't come to do their shows and I'm poor to go to another city. Hahahahaha sad to me, but I hope I can go one day! Ronnie must be much better seeing face to face!

it was so sick to see live, (before their set it downpoured for 20 minutes) ended up getting sick afterwords lolol

I love how Ronnie uses his arm to add vibrato to his vocals. Ingenuity.
Yup, that’s Ronnie lol. You gotta love him.
Thank you for stating this. I have a better perspective of his showmanship. I didn't like him one bit. I do now.

I was at his Asheville show and I don’t blame him. This was the quietest crowd I’ve EVER heard. Asheville crowd was insaneeee and he has never played there.

That’s exactly what happened. Ronnie himself even put a lot of blame on the promoter, and it sounds like for good reason too
Ronnie slays live. Seen him 3 different times now, and he 100% belts it raw
An amazing concert. I guess I missed the controversy part. Wish I could see them live someday, hopefully as a headliner.
I've seen them like 5 times back in the day. Not my favorite band anymore but they always put on a great show. 11 years ago when they came on stage they had made their own version of the Full House opening. It was hilarious
@@Sam-uu2nx I just found out about them when Popular Monster showed up on Octane, and I was like "Where have they been all my life?" Missed them in my area this time around :(
Agreed! This was amazing
Love falling in reverse so awsome
Motionless in white is good too
Five finger slipknot avenged sevenfold
Some crowds just suck. I've been in crowds that absolutely are dead.When i saw him in OKC on 7/18/23 he was great and the crowd was lit!
I was there too! They tossed a cake into the pit it was one of the best shows I've been to, including all of the openers
@@jacobbuxton3895 yesss brooo it was so good!! The openers kicked so much ass also! Such a great show!
I used to work at a venue & one thing they taught us is that people & artist won’t come back if they didn’t have a great experience from that venue.
Thanks for posting this! I was in the pit on the other side where he couldnt walk down due to a huge puddle 😢 But it was an amazing show! You can def tell who his real fans are by everyone else getting so pissed about what he said 😅
I've never seen them live, but I've watched some on here, and each time, he was doing something similar. So I
Personally, I think it's part of the show right before that set. Just my opinion, I wasn't there but would love to see them live sometime.
I don't see the controversy, that first part he said "I'm an asshole just like you" and then played that song Just Like You as a transition into that song, and the 2nd time seemed to be joking around when he said he'd only come back if people bought Merch, and that last bit he still said he loves the fans, at least from seeing this he doesn't seem to be an Arrogant Dick like everyone says he was
I'm still excited to see FIR with Avenged Sevenfold in a couple months hopefully with no rain
@@Werewolf914 That's what I meant. I apologize if it came off wrong. But I do agree with you.
Idk why people are Haters with what Ronnie said, people aren't giving him the energy that he gives them. I'd say it's fair how he reacted
I don’t see the issue. He called them out, which was him being an asshole. then called himself an asshole and then went right into just like you. I feel like it he meant it but it was in a way that hyped up the next song.
This is correct. He does this before every performance of Just Like You
It's rockn' roll, don't know why or how anyone would get upset. Ronnie is a true Rockstar, no BS.
All BS more like

Really appreciate you sharing even as it’s raining ☔️ people are making way to much of this! Ronnie’s vocals have just been insane, he’s so incredible and the whole band kill it every show! Love ❤️ Falling In Reverse🤟❤️🙌🥰🎶rain and all!!!
The rain definitely helped make it a memorable show!
@@MyConcertCollection No doubt, really enjoyed your footage🤟🎶🥰
God, pls come to germany next year, the fanbase ist huge !
¡Love it! Ronnie is all that's right in the universe. ♥
This band is amazing
Wow right at the beginning those were the most half assed woo’s I’ve ever heard. I get being tired hot and wet from the rain but like when I was a kid I waited over an hour in the pouring rain for Meat Loaf and the crowd was LOUD and that was at a fairgrounds with not nearly this many people
The story not told in this video is that this was day 4 for a lot of people there in the blistering heat (literally no shade anywhere) and an hour before this show there was a tornado within a couple miles of the festival. It had been pouring rain on and off for a couple hours before/during FIR and people were mentally/physically exhausted.
Now combine that with Slipknot playing next and most of the single day ticket holders being there for Slipknot (Slipknot sold out of merch early and there was basically no line for FIR merch). A lot of people who weren’t exhausted were saving their energy for Slipknot.
This festival also has a no moshing policy and the performers are made aware of that before signing up and before taking the stage.
After the show Ronnie publicly complained about being served raw chicken even though the records showed he was served fried fish. He also complained about having to use a dirty portable toilet even though the performers get to use state of the art bathrooms backstage. There are other claims Ronnie made too that were flat out lies. He was just mad that they weren’t doing well on merch sales there.
Me encantaria poder verlo en concierto
He should come in Europe
I think he isn't allowed to
@@lordfox4848why
Way better audiences here;)
Yo, that shot during Pop Mons... Epic... I would like to make a poster of it...
That’d be an awesome poster 🤘🏻
I was expecting his reaction to be worse tbh. Seemed like he was very professional
Controversy or not, that watch the world burn performance never gets old. Damn
Between that and the rain-soaked performance of Popular Monster, it was still an awesome show.
Yeah but the song and his vocals are playing the whole time as he repeats half of it. Hes basically singing to his own cd, or not really singing it at all. kinda lame but cool song.
What was the controversy for this set?
❤❤❤❤
cool video dude.
Thanks! Glad you’re enjoying it 🤘🏻
Fans overreacted online (shocker), in my opinion. Ronnie gave his honest opinion on the show and people didn’t like it, per usual. He was right though. Great show and great video!
He went on late and then left early. That’s what should be pissing people off.
Still put on a great show
Ronnie has an amazing vocal range. His scream is reminiscent of the late Chester Bennington's voice 😍. Tyler's backing vocals are a topic of conversation in themselves😎
We need more backing singers like him, they blend so freaking well
He's the GOAT
@@stetsonholland5109 I disagree with you. Yes, Ronnie Radke had a troubled past where he lived outside the rules, stole money, and engaged in deceit. However, he was able to eradicate his negative habits and overcome the challenges he faced. Through several decisive steps and sheer determination, he transformed his future 👌
Today, he is a well-known and popular singer who has made a significant breakthrough in the music industry. His unique talents and soulful voice have captivated the hearts of listeners worldwide. He has become an inspiration to many, demonstrating that true change is possible when a person is willing to put an end to old habits and strive for self-improvement⚡
This singer has become a symbol of transformation and hope, proving that each of us can overcome our obstacles and create a new, successful life. His story serves as an important reminder of the importance of believing in oneself, taking responsibility for our actions, and persistently striving for the better 🤩
Wake me up when the controversial part happens 😴
who is more badass ? the band for performing in the rain or the fans cheering in the rain. great show in any case
What he said wasn't even bad. People are way too soft these days.
The problem is this dude is constantly a bitch about everything.. it adds up
Fully agree bro if u watch slipknot its like no one’s into it definitely a boring crowd and the promoter is dumb it’s a rock fest lol I wanna be moshing not standing around lol
I was just at a show, saw Jinjer, Breaking Benjamin and Disturbed… people were soooo wack Jinjer is heavy and so many were just standing around. I guess we’re all different but I was pretty annoyed like let go and let loose take it all in. 100% would start some shit in the pit 😂😅
I agree
This cat is a great frontman in my opinion. At least he has fucking balls and isn’t afraid to speak up on issues. Mad respect,
He looks gorgeous. This long hair omg .... Love everything about Ronnie
I just watched your video. Great job and you can tell that there were pockets of fans and others who werent. Bands feed off the crowd energy, so if tje crowd feels flat, they are less hyped as well. I understand his frustration.
Side note. I just screenshot a portion of the catwalk rain portion. There is a place by my work that can convert camera phone images to art work. Id love to send you one as a thank you. I dont have social media so is there a safe way to get your address?
That’s because they probably never heard any of his interviews or even many of his songs, it’s pretty on par for him. And I f&&@ing love it!!!!!
had to watch for myself, and I can see he just doesn’t feel the energy from the crowd. the no mosh pit part completely ruins the whole vibe. I guess the venue didn’t treat the band well either. I can see why they got on stage late and off stage early .. it was literally storming and seemed out of their control. the merch thing deff sounded like a joke bc he doesn’t really change his tone or smile when he’s messing around. and the yelling at the crowd to move and stuff is normal, he’s trying to hype them up. idk id blame the venue and weather mostly. that shot at the end performing popular monster in the rain was v nice tho.
🤟🏻🤟🏻
Bro really just walks left to right lol
Incredible.
i really feel like this whole story was taken out of context which isnt surprising. glad i got to see the whole thing
Damn I saw him a few days before in Peoria IL and what a HUGE difference. Our show was AMAZING. No wonder he was frustrated about this show. He literally trolled us twice at our show before all star 😂 he also played situations at our show, surprised it wasn’t played here.
sadly i got the dates confused was planning on going and missed it
@@ticktock1624 oh no! What show were you supposed to go to?
@@franniebear777 same one you were just lost track of time was busy
would love to see "Carry On" performed live
❤
Not controversial at all!!! Excellent show!!
It was short but still fun. He should have been at blue ridge to compare lol
What he forgets, is things like Rockfest, your band needs to put on a show, he has no energy, no headbanging, it's sad when your lead guitarist is more interesting to watch.
I saw FIR perform at Sonic Boom like 8 years ago or more and the performance was 100% better than the live concerts I've seen from them lately that people put on You Tube... The songs and the music videos themselves are killer, the performance...eh, makes me glad I don't go to concerts anymore. Just my opinions.
When rock fest began in cadott after ozzfest stopped in Somerset WI at floatrite amphitheater. I went to one rock fest and @fallinginreverse is right the stage setup the so called pit in front where you cant do anything and the stage is so far up it sucked especially when the pit pass costs extra. The first 100 rows are fenced off and have seats, general admission is behind all that stuff and absolutely stupid set-up. I want to battle to the front get my elbows on that stage and go nuts and give it all to keep that spot where your favorite artist is mear inches away not 100's of feet away. What a shame Ronnie would have appreciated old school ozzfest watch slipknots first ozzfest in Somerset and see a real festival nothing but blood sweat and tears and by the way im in that crowd at ozzfest
The fact that he followed one of his "rants" with Just Like You tells me that nothing was meant to be hateful or anything.
Falling In Reverse ❤❤❤🤘
Is there new album ever going to release please to long this is the whole concert
Now for a band or any performer to not go back to a venue has to be due to the experience they had at the location. I mean if the customer doesn’t like a location or venue or a place then they won’t be coming back we’ll same for the performers when it comes to venues. Sorry I work at a venue like this in Fort Worth & we make sure both performers & customers get to our venue their safe & have a great experience before & after the event
He looked a bit confused at first. You could tell the further on they played, he got more and more frustrated. When he's used to people going nuts in sold out arenas, a dead venue can be awful.
Damm you guys didn’t get fashionably late like we did in LA last month
I know 😞
Guess I'm missing the part where it was controversial. They were terrific
He started 10 minutes late and then cut the set early.
I laughed so hard at the All Stars troll omg 😂😂😂
Thanks for proving all the bs comments wrong. They clearly played more than 6 songs, they did play in the rain, he did point the finger at the promter and didn't just storm off stage at the end... it's clear a lot of the people that were apparently there are trolling
Actually he did all that. He called us “lazy pieces of shit” and left like we weren’t in the rain all day and still showed up for his bitch ass 🙄 I only went to rockfest to see Pantera and hang out with my brothers in their element and I had no idea who this even was but literally everyone there was singing this shit word for word with a lot more energy then him. 😅 He literally just throws his arms around and people call it “energy”. The fuck? There’s more “energy” at a country music concert then whatever the hell this fool puts out 😅
LAAAAAAMMMMEEEEE..................
I just saw him in OKC on the 18th we were pumped. It was so loud. There was no silence. You couldn’t hear just one or two voices during song changes. They took a little break and we all chanted “ Ronnie” loudly. This is embarrassing. It had also been like 110 degrees and we waited in the heat and sun for hours. He came on just as it got dark but it was still in the high 90’s.
Aren’t you proud of yourself lol
@@justinposton3668 proud of my state for not being lame fans.
@@daniecarolina6828 Had very little to do with the fans, I was there. Rockfest rules don't allow for moshing and even if you could there's benches for dozens of yards out from the stage that would make it worse to mosh. Pair that with the rain, the shitty food and layout of rockfest and you get fans that disengage. The promoters for Rockfest are garbage. I miss Northern Invasion, that was a decent venue with multiple large stage areas and good food. Not to mention moshing was allowed with plenty of space to do so. My only complaint is that he, mildly, took it out on the fans first. Love Ronni and the gang, will continue to support them.
@@elfberserker what did that have to do with y’all’s voices?
@@daniecarolina6828 you're a joke
I was there for this. And the real issue is the venue itself. They surround the stage with wooden VIP benches, and do not allow moshing of any sort. It's been like this forever at this venue and they've basically conditioned the crowd to not participate. Also, the constant pouring rain, and thunder didn't help anything. Now that being said, Ronnie could've been a lot more professional about it. The constant online bickering does no favors to anyone.
Love him and the band no matter his mouth is why I love him singing it talking shit
There’s nothing controversial here? He’s even thanking them for staying in the rain.
While not familiar with this band... I watched the opening song seems fine. But I do AGREE with him that now a days crowds do suck at shows.... not really getting into it just standing there. I was at the Metallica show in New Jersey where Pantera opened. I heard a group of older guys saying back in the day there would have been a huge mosh pit on the floor, at this show there was like tiny little ones! These youths don't know how to "concert." LOL
People are literally making up so many lies about this performance like there isn’t a video of the whole thing 💀
The crowd got quiet during the second song
That’s his usual intro too the song just like you. Nothing was being expressed. Unreal social media.
This came across my feed and I was like “what is the controversy?” Tried to skim some comments to see if it said. Then saw the time stamps for what was said. I’m not really sure how anyone took this overly serious? Especially at the end when he says “all jokes aside,” has no one been to a live event when the band interacts and at times fucks with the crowd? Chris motionless pointed out the crowd was doing the chicken peck head bob, and no one lost their shit about it. They are trying to get the crowd into it. Maybe they are the opening act somewhere that may not be well known to them. Hell I’ve been to several shows the opening band I had not heard anything from and by the end of their set I’m hooked.
But then again, everyone finds a reason to be mad these days.
Keep supporting this guy. He started late, Only paced the stage, didnt really work the crowd. He is a great studio musician. Ill stream his stuff but if I want to see a performance Ill go see someone else. I didnt pay to entertain him.
I get what you’re saying but alot of artists perform better overall if they see the crowd is fully behind them and supporting them. Some bands/artists perform worse if the crowd isn’t in to it. In fact it’s very rare to find artists who can keep up the same high end performance with a shitty crowd. Ronnie’s never been afraid to say what’s on his mind. In fact sometimes in might work up the crowd if he does it. He probably doesn’t perform as well if the crowd isn’t in to it. It’s a tough industry.
I’ve seen him play since ETF days. He knows how to perform, and command the stage well. I have worked many shows for different bands/artists. I have to say Ronnie is so right to call the promoter out.
This stage setup was shit as is, then if you add rain to it… I can almost promise he couldn’t walk on certain parts. Also, artists feed off the crowd’s energy. If the crowd isn’t into it for whatever reason (weather, bad setup, not the best stage time, being tired, or simply the band not being their “cup of tea” the artist feels it.
His vocals are great live and honestly he’s one of the few singers that doesn’t use a recording for all the vocals. (Not saying other bands don’t sing)
If you’re basing your decision of whether to see them live or not this wouldn’t be the example I would use 😅
@@franniebear777 It isnt just this show. He played short set next day in Michigan. He has cancelled or shortened many shows. Other artist had same crowd but some how managed to perform. Im not cancelling him just would never spend my money for him. If he opens for another act i would still go.
@@sdaftermath123 I didnt pay to entertain the performers. Other bands might not have liked the setup or the crowds but still put on great shows. Im not trying to cancel this guy. I just wont spend my hard earned money and make arraignments to go see him.
@@ericthurler9369 then go see Nsync or whatever, I guarantee you he wouldn’t want your money
Can't wait to him again in Portland in October with avenged sevenfold!!
Im very confused, the time stamps don't match and i didn't see any spots he went off on the crowd?
I have a dream in my life. That dream is go to Falling in Reverse's concert. But... well, I'm brazilian, I live in a city that bands don't come to do their shows and I'm poor to go to another city. Hahahahaha sad to me, but I hope I can go one day! Ronnie must be much better seeing face to face!
Are there any professionally recorded falling in reverse live sets?
