Finn you are now the Scene Oprah and I’m 100% here for it.
Dr. Scene
Johnny Craig looks rejuvenated. You can tell by his hygiene, the way he speaks, and his clean room that he is on the right path. I am rooting for him and bam margera to stay on the straight and narrow. Finns, questions weren’t easy and props to johnny for addressing them. I feel like it could have been really easy for Finn to just have johnny on and talk about all the drama but Finn turned it into a learning lesson where kids can watch this and see how drugs can cause someone to create so much damage to the people around them. Great interview Finn! Johnny, everyone wants to see you sober, be a great father, and create beautiful music so keep up the good work!
Thank you! That is exactly what I was going for
My band got a feature from him earlier last year, he was nothing but professional and sounded like he was in his right mind. As a recovering addict myself it makes me feel great to see him continue to thrive!
What a load of shit. Goes to show people buy anything you tell them. There is footage of him off him circulating out of his fucking tree. When people start discussing the truth. And the fact he smoked fentanyl around his child who was admitted to hospital from overdosing from second hand smoke then that will be the truth.
@@TheChicagoJunkie wow, this man. If this is true that's excellent to hear and in a really organic way. Good to hear his overall demeanor was that of pleasantness
@@TheChicagoJunkie What's your band name?
Was a bit skeptical about this before I clicked but you handled this interview fantastic. You asked the hard questions in a delicate way that got honest answers about really difficult subjects.
Still skeptical about his Status??? Remember they are good liars and also don't care about anyone or thing but themselves and getting what they want
I appreciate you putting the questions on his side. "Is there anything you want to address." Giving him a chance to talk instead of attacking. I also appreciate you giving him a heads up to really get his head on straight about it all beforehand. This really gave him a chance to be honest and genuine and communicate. Not just wait for his chance to talk but it seemed you both were here for an honest discussion. I appreciate it sir.
Watched this on twitch last week, and I've gotta say, this was one of the best interviews I've seen full stop. You asked really hard hitting questions, but came from a place of sympathy and experience with the same shit he went through. Massive props to you, Finn. Looking forward to more of these interviews in the future. Right on.
This is the most mature interview I have seen with him, on both sides. Thank you, Finn.
Watching The Cozy Representatives "The Rise And Fall Of Jonny Craig." (Which everyone should watch If you're a fan of his I think, he breaks down Jonnys life and struggles very well from an outside perspective." Then watching this is very refreshing. I want Jonny to succeed and stay clean. We've all done awful things, but I'm a big believer in the underdog, and I hope he can make the most out of his life from this point forward. Great interview Finn.
I’ll forever love Jonny and his music ripped open my soul in the midst of my drug addiction and made me feel something when I thought I was dead. Thank you Jonny.
Hopefully he can stay clean, he has such an insane talent. He spoke really well here. Definitely saw sincerity when he acknowledged that going back down the dark road today is a death sentence.
Growing up in Sacramento, I’ve heard all kinds about jonny since i first listened to Dance Gavin Dance in 2006. And to be honest, I haven’t maintained a great opinion about him, which is kind of ironic because I’m a recovering opiate/heroin addict as well and I understand that struggle. But this interview really succeeded at humanizing him and it sounds like he not only wants to stay clean and turn his life around, but that he’s also actually making the effort to find out why this is a cycle for him and what he can do to prevent future relapse. I genuinely hope he sticks with it this time around.
[UPDATE: 2 years! Thanks to those of you that have continued to check in all this time.]
This really couldn’t have come out at a better time. I’m 96 hours into sickness after using opiates for 9 years. I can relate so hard to “I don’t have any relapses in me. If I relapse I’m out.” For whatever reason after being sick of it so long, a switch flipped and I finally feel confident that things will stick this time. Thanks for this Finn/Johnny.
Stay strong, you can do this!
@@FinnMckentyPRMBA thanks. I’m feeling confident about this one.
You definitely can do this. I can't imagine how hard it is but you definitely have it in you to overcome this addiction. Sounds cheesy but I mean it, you got this :)
@@donthaveabreakdown5608 your pfp gives me life. Thank you. I’m really glad you don’t understand how hard it is, and I hope you never have to, whether that be you or someone you care about.
@@theshevanel I got sober after shooting and smoking heroin and fentanyl for almost 10 years straight...I'm clean now on a program and life has never been better ....remember, we cheated by trying to force happiness with a drug ....we aren't supposed to have this much it's not natural ...that being said .......no matter what you feel now you will be rewarded with your life back and all all the joy and good feelings god and life can give you..🙏
You got this don't worry "everything will be alright" as long as your trying to stay clean
Much love ❤️ ( p.s I listened to a lot of bob Marley while hurting , i onno maybe it would help you as well 😊 )
Wow this probably the most honest Jonny Craig interview I’ve seen. Thanks Finn!
I've hungout with Jonny both strung out and sober and I can confirm that he is a very nice, great person when he's sober, but drugs will turn anyone into a monster. I wish nothing but the best for him.
the dance gavin dance guys all smoke weed so i doubt hes sober
@@idonteatcheetos he hasn't been in dgd for years so I don't get your point.
@@russbradshawmusic Oh yeah i forgot. sorry
@@idonteatcheetos tf are you talking about bruh
@@idonteatcheetos forgot the past 10 years lol
Jonny saying he didn’t want to fly to avoid withdrawals makes sense as to why shows he had booked here in England got cancelled at the last minute.
Ive been following him on IG as he attempts to stay sober & it’s really good to see him do this for his kid and himself.
Good work, Finn 🙌🏾
Wow, crazy that you got him on, well done man, this is great
Was so pleasantly surprised when Jonny mentioned Vivitrol. That will help him massively with sobriety
As someone who has a recovering alcoholic/drug addict in my family, thank you so much for doing this interview. Addiction is such a horrible thing, but it is always possible for an addict to find a way out and get help.
"Parents split up and mom worked all the time and i only had my grandma." We have been led to believe that is not extremely harmful to children. These people are self treating for serious attatchment disorders.
This was my exact thought when I heard him say that.
@@Drea_A Yeah, it breaks my heart. We have whole populations of people suffering from serious attachment disorders and we are being told we don't need fathers and to put our kids in daycare while mom works all the time. And then put them on drugs when they act out.
Abandonment issues for sure, that pain makes people stars and kills them off far too often.
You know with this being said, and the recent events that happened at a school in Texas, I wonder how many of the murderers were parentless.
@@zaevho Double check but i am pretty sure almost all mass shooters had single mothers.
Jonny, you sound so clear and intelligent. Thanks for opening up and sharing with us. Your fans love to see you do well, so keep it going. You're so talented.
I’m actually shocked. This was such a great interview. I have never once seen Jonny so clear headed and genuine. I’m really proud of him and I hope he’s proud of himself. He’s incredibly talented and it always pained me to see him continue to fuck up and make horrible decisions. Make amends. Take responsibility. Do better. Awesome stuff, Finn. And Jonny, keep it up, we’re really proud of you!
Totally agree. I love him as an artist and for him to take responsibility and do better for his family going foward is great to see. Also I heard he was in SAC at Dayseeker's show- love to hear he's out and doing a lot better. Very well spoken too. I appreciated this episode as a huge fan of his music but not being very aware of his personal struggles.
I’m sorry but this man owned up to nothing and spoke with the same eloquence of a distracted 4 year old. People will let figures they admire get away with literally anything. Soft ball interview. Literal promo.
This hits home. Opiate addiction is such a horrible thing. When he talked about being scared to go overseas because he didn't want to be there and not be able to find anything.. I can relate to that. I've skipped so many trips to see awesome places because of that. Youll do anything to keep withdrawals away. It sucks to think about. Really cool of both sides to do this interview, you handled it super well, and Johnny was as open as I've seen.
Appreciate everyone involved taking the time to go through this. Very insightful and informative, thanks!
Great interview! We are all rooting for you Jonny! Such an amazing voice looking foward to hearing a new project from you!
Thank you for the interview Finn. I’ve wanted to hear Johnny’s side of everything for a while. Great questions and thank you for giving him time to speak.
Been in the scene a long time and was around for laptop shenanigans. It’s nice to hear the story with out all the noise. Wishing Johnny the best in staying clean and looking forward to new music. Great job asking real questions and letting him speak.
Jonny is the dude I check in on every couple of years just to see if things have turned around for him. He’s an amazing musician and I hope him the best. Thanks for the interview.
I'm really glad to see Jonny doing alright. Despite all of his past mistakes, he has always been one of my favorite vocalists and writers. I really hope that he can stay on this path and become the best version of himself he can be. Nothing but love and support
Thanks for asking the tough questions Finn, and keeping the focus on helping those around you. Great interview! Always a fan of your content.
man, I really am liking seeing him in this context: Speaking for himself, clear headed. I feel for Jonny, he hasn't had an easy lot in life.
16:49
HE hasn't? He made bad choices for himself but sadly for others.
absolutely incredible interview. this was truly well done and fantastic questions
Finn, I'm currently entering my 2nd year of doctoral school for clinical psychology and have worked with serious addicts in the past, in addition to having had significant substance abuse problems of my own in the past. Even after getting clean and beginning to achieve major success in life such as getting my masters and entering a doctoral program, addiction still feels like a specter that hangs over you. As someone who has been on both sides of it, the addict and the clinician, I just want to say that I think you handled this interview with immense grace, patience, and question choice/tone/angles.
This was a tough interview for you both and Jonny especially as a man who also has a flawed past and hopefully is attempting to improve upon that. It's difficult but it's never too late. Addiction is tricky because even if it is a disease, it is a disease that the victim must take accountability and responsibility for themselves. You asked direct tough questions but did so in a non threatening warm manner. It has nothing to do with exonerating Craig, but a willingness to simply discuss and let people come to conclusions on their own as they would anyway. More than anything these open discussions can help people in deep dark places. Well done man. I appreciate how you handled this irrespective of what Jonny is innocent or guilty of. The benefit of these types of talks is way beyond that, especially in this type of world that desires social rehabilitation but is simultaneously driven by a hunger for punishment.
Good luck on getting your doctorate!
Addiction isn’t a disease. It’s beta people that can’t make tough choices. Changing your habits and routine isn’t that hard. People just suck
@@cmamsler spoken like someone who doesn’t know wtf they’re talking about
Thank you for doing such a good job touching on this topic with a serious edge and without making addicts out to be less than. Hope the best for Jonny his music always has been full of so much pain and emotion you can tell he wants to get past that part of his life.
Dude looks refreshed. I hope all is going well for him, and will continue to do so. Johnny is a hell of a vocalist, and I hate to see how life and crush truly talented people.
Dude is human, and has been through the shits.
Been waiting for this to be uploaded! So excited to watch
As someone who fell out of love with his music Post Emarosa, and seeing the Scandals and Allegations from the outside. Yeah In those moments as fans we yearned for Jonny to speak more. But now hearing everything with context to how he was health wise, and his constant mental battle with addiction.(Which to his point even as fans we knew) it’s amazing to see him sober, clear headed, and POSITIVE! Jonny if you read this, as an adolescent boy your pain got me through a lot. But now being a 31 man myself with 2 amazing boys of my own. it’s even more beautiful to see this interview and know who you are Today. Im gonna back into the music and I can’t wait too hear what a Happy Jonny Craig sounds like.
Facts
I’m in recovery, I used for 15 years, and I’ve been clean for 5. It’s crazy how much I can relate to Jonny’s story. It’s great hearing him here. He looks good, and it’s awesome hearing his side of many of these stories floating around, and seeing him taking accountability for things as well. I’ve always been a fan of Jonny. Great voice, and great person.
I think you were the perfect person for this interview. Jonny has always been my favorite singer, and I've been rooting for him for a long time, but it's hard not to give up on him when he keeps doing the same thing. This helps give me confidence he might make this the real breakthrough. I have a good friend how's struggling with opiate addiction, and I'm gonna send him a link to video with hopes it will help it make sense. Thanks dude.
Awesome interview Finn, didn't shy away from anything, and cheers to Jonny for being so candid and open about it all.
This interview pleasantly surprised me. I've been a fan of Jonny's and always held out hope for him. I've struggled with addiction and can sympathize with much of what was discussed. In past interviews, Jonny seemed very unaware of his mistakes and very cocky in this sort of aloof way. In this interview, he was very candid (also something he lacked in past interviews), humble, and actually took accountability for his past actions. He seems to have gained an enormous amount of self-reflection that I think will serve him well.
For Finn's part, it was really nice to see an interviewer who allowed him to speak without accusing him and attacking. I think his experience with drugs himself gives him a better understanding of Jonny and his struggles.
It's really an impossible feat to try to explain to someone what addiction is like if they've never experienced it themselves. You really don't care about anything other than feeding it.
It's not an excuse for your behavior, but an explanation.
Having listened to a lot of your interviews or shows you’ve even been interviews, I can honestly say you are one of if not the best interviewer I’ve listened to. Right up there with stern, dare I say better since you don’t interrupt as much as stern has in recent years. Your approach to interviews is fantastic, you ask hard hittin questions in a way that allows the subject to open up, while simultaneously feel comfortable and overall it leads to a really great listen. Looking forward to more.
Thanks again
Thank you!
amazing interview, finn. jonny craig has always been a top tier vocalist for me ever since i heard him years ago. his voice always resonated with me and i've always pulled for him, hoping he would fine a new life in sobriety. i believe this is it for him and i have a feeling we're about to see some of the best jonny craig we've seen. also, thank you for being open and vulnerable about your past and how amazing that you've found a new life as well. thank you for a wonderful interview!
I saw Jonny Craig once in like 2012, with Dance Gavin Dance . The crowd boo'ed him and he spit on the crowd. I also watched Taylor's videos long before she got together with him. That being said, it's always been so sad to see such a gifted person being destroyed by drugs. The guy's got God given talent. He's the #1 voice from the scene I grew up in. I'll never stop spinning Emarosa's self-titled. I've only ever wished for him to turn it around, and I hope he's doing well. This was a great interview, Finn.
Finn, this is undoubtedly one of the best interviews I have ever seen. Empathetic, articulate and intelligent questions. You pulled no punches, related well and helped the audience make sense of a messy series of allegations. I love that you give Jonny a fair shot to give his side of the story, but maintained a solid bullshit radar throughout. Outstanding interview, immediate sub.
very insightful interview. Johnny Craig was my favorite vocalist growing up. Loved his raw r&b style vocals, even though i've never been into r&b. Such a natural talent
What a great interview. I don't listen to his bands or music but heard the stories. This guy really seems like he is on the right track. I really respect his honesty. I hope he makes a comeback and gets some success because he is talented. He has a long tough road but he could definitely overcome it. I wish him the best.
You did a great job, I'd like more interviews/podcasts honestly :) You managed the discussion/interview very well. You let him speak and take his time, sometimes people tend to rush things. I liked this interview.
I’m going on 2 years sober in September I know alcoholism isn’t the same but cravings get less but some situations are still tuff. I started drinking heavily when my youngest son passed. On a positive note it’s good seeing a idol having real life issues. I definitely see Jonny in a new light. Thanks Finn. 🙏🏻
It's so good to see Jonny doing so much better and I can see the better parts of him sitting in this interview. I've been in the ditch for the last 3 years and I feel the part where he said "he couldn't get clean" and the fear of being sick when going somewhere else for any amount of time.. and the expectations of others.. the toxic relationships..
An honest man has nothing to fear, and if it's a lie it'll eventually come out in the wash..
I really appreciate this interview Finn and Jonny.
I just hope I can make it out of my ditch and finally find myself where I actually want and deserve to be.. rather than constantly taking it out on myself and my body..
Thank you
You can do it!
awesome that you interviewed jonny. great vocalist! I wish you talked more about music and his time with DGD and other bands. I'd loved to see a 2nd interview that touches on that stuff more!
Jonny Craig is one the Greatest voices ever. I wish the best for this man. Life gets rough for real people.
First off, amazing interview. No smoke show - just honest questions and to be fair to Jonny, honest answers. I’m a huge Jonny fan. Relativity by Emarosa probably saved my life. I’m so glad you asked about if he thought his music would suffer if he got better. I’m also a huge SRV fan - another amazing musician who struggled with heroin. He was petrified of losing his “feeling” if he got clean. He got clean and talked about this very thing and what he said when he got clean made a lot of sense. In a nut shell he said that when you’re using, you’re numb to your pain. You’re using to cope with your pain. When you get clean and tackle your pain head on, you’re able to channel it with more clarity. When he got clean he compared playing the guitar high was like playing with boxing gloves on and getting clean and playing was like taking them off. He felt the notes 10x more sensitive. I’m saying this because I hope singing sober will have the same effect on Jonny.
I wish more musicians realized this. I’ve been there before. It’s a lot easier said then done though.
✌️
I'm looking forward to Jonnys new album. I hope he stays well and uses his voice for the greater good.
Love Jonny and I'm glad to see him doing well and looking healthy! Best of luck to the both of you 💯
Finn this interview means so much to your fans and esp jonny craig fans. Thank you.
I remember 10 years ago when I was stuck on opioids, I drove for 30 minutes to a dealers house, vomiting in and outside the car the entire time, as sick as you can possibly imagine, opioid withdrawal is traumatic. Time slows down to a crawl, every second is a month, you have insects under your skin, you’re throwing up violently, your butt runs like a faucet, you have absolutely no energy so you can barely move, yet at the same time your legs are violently kicking because your brain is literally in starvation mode. You’re depressed, worst anxiety ever, you can’t do anything except lie down and hope you drown in your fluids and kick and stretch and masturbate over and and over again, and it just goes on for days and days. And once you DO start to feel better, you have on and off waves of feeling super depressed and much better. So many people relapse after a couple months because they assume they’ll always be depressed until they use again. But it’s not true, it’s not real. It’s the brain still rebalancing after months or years of relying on a substance.
So if you’ve gotten clean recently, and you’re feeling bad, don’t give up, you’re almost there, you just have a little time left.
What a good interview. I've been in the same spot as Jonny and have almost 5 years clean now and it's really awesome to see (in my opinion) one of the greatest singers who's ever lived own up to his shit and try to move past it. It's hard. Never thought I'd say this in 2022 but I genuinely can't wait for the new Jonny Craig project. Best of luck dude
Thanks for this interview Finn! Jonny is an amazing vocalist, wishing him nothing but the best moving forward 🙏🏿
Fantastic interview, Finn. This truly was the realest. I hope Jonny can stay on his path.
This video, the saosin video, the clothing tropes and fashion videos… dude Finn you just bringing in bangers…. Keep it up! I’m a long time listener!
Man this was a hard watch. Definitely going to comeback to this another day and finish.
I've always loved this dude and hope he works through all of this. He still has a chance to be something great in the rock community
Great job on this interview, hope Johnny continues to find his way.
Can't believe I'm about to watch this! Finn you are undoubtedly the most important person cataloging these scenes and their artists. It's amazing. You, trash theory, and cozy representative
This was a fantastic interview. The best interviewers are the ones that ask the uncomfortable questions.. Great Job!
Surprised to see this interview come into fruition. But I’m glad you did so. As a person who was inspired by his vocal prowess. His talents made me get into beginning choir. Fast forward to know and I was really curious to see how things would go. I’ve heard a lot he said she said rumors and I didn’t want to pick a side ,but it’s a topic that would eventually get addressed. So for that Thank you Finn.
Just wanted to say THANK YOU both. Finn, thanks for this interview, and Jonny, THANK YOU for speaking so clearly about these issues. You made me feel stronger today, as I am also battling with my own inner demons, but I know I am on the right path. Thanks and much love.
This is the interview Ive needed from Jonny for a long time. I always wanted to hear his side of all of this because he's one of my favorite artists of all time but I've always been conflicted by his personal life. Words couldn't express how grateful I am towards you for putting this together. Thank you ❤
He talked about it on Shane Told’s Lead Singer Syndrome podcast like 5 years ago, but there was a lot of judging coming from Shane’s end. This interview is much better
Ahh, thank you Finn, as a recovering addict with a disorder diagnosis, I appreciate this.
Fuck. I'm so glad Jonny agreed to do this. I've been off opiates for almost ten years. That shit is absolutely devastating. He looks and sounds great though. Stay safe everyone, I love you!
Almost 10 years!! That's huge man congrats 👑👑
This was such a great interview. Asking all the hard questions but with respect and not triggering. It’s so nice seeing Jonny Craig clean and sober with a clear mind. What he’s done and continue to go through is not an easy process. I’m so excited for his future.
This was fantastic! I love the way you approached the controversy he’s become infamous for. I’m thrilled to see Jonny sober and taking the steps to get his life back and hope he continues to stay clean. Thanks for sharing!
I’m only about halfway through, but I really appreciated the way you approached the first portion of this interview.
Thank you!
Such a great interview. Finn you really put in your work in & it shows.
Thank you!
Great interview! Always thought of Jonny as a great vocalist but also a punk so it was nice to hear from him and it seems like he has good genuine intentions of self improvement and making his overall life better…Good stuff!
Honestly was not expecting to be able to relate this much to Jonny and did not expect to actually appreciate the things he was saying. I know it's been a year since this video was posted but damn, I actually needed to hear some of these things. Never thought it would be from Jonny that I'd hear those words from, but I absolutely needed to hear it. First time seeing one of your videos also, and you did an excellent job with the questions. Thank you for this
Great interview. Self reflection and awareness is powerful. Happy to see JC is doing well.
I was at a nightclub in Birmingham where he was a special guest and to watch him have to go through being offered drugs by people the entire time, he was in a really emotional state cos he clearly didn’t want to do it. And I just felt so sorry for the dude.
That’s not to say he hasn’t done horrible things however. He seems good and clean here though.
When he said "It can't be any worse then being in a jail cell praying to god etc." i felt that in my soul. I will never forget the last time i was in jail, literally praying to god, saying if ican get out of this, if i can get bail, i will rededicate my life to music and stop drugs." and it happened. and i have been sober since. That pain is so deep if you have not lived it it is hard to understasnd
He's a lot more well spoken than I believed him to be. Awesome that he's so positive and forward thinking. Keep your eyes open J!
Unfortunately can relate to a lot of what he said. Being an addict myself. Sober 3 years, but it never goes away. And hearing him talk about selling stuff trying to avoid getting sick.....ugh.....that was the worst. Hope he stays strong. It's an every day battle, even tho it gets easier, you can never give in to it. Not even a little....not just a one day thing. Stay strong man.
Congratulations on the 3 years brother!! I've recently hit 3 years clean myself. Stay strong dude!! Proud of ya!
@@thomaspreston1511 ya man, congrats to you as well! Keep fighting the good fight!
3 year gang! Next month I will have 3.5 years. It really hit me at 2 years that I had to change everything about myself, abstinence without a lifestyle change was for me the worst feeling, but we do recover! Congrats to both of you!
@@matttheman3923 hey congrats man! It's always a learning experience with it. Mistakes get made, but we come back stronger.
I got roped into Suboxone and have been on that for too many years. I wish I could check into a rehab and get sober.
Wow man! This IS content. Pure gold.
Thanks a lot to both of you.
🇨🇱
My only complaint is that this interview wasn't longer 😁 I absolutely love this and love finn and jonny craig
What I think is probably the best thing about this is that it will reinforce all of the good work Jonny's done in his recovery to this point. Thanks for doing this Finn, as a long time fan of Jonny's I really hope he's able to keep it up and we get to see some great stuff from him.
Impeccable work on the interview Finn. This is done with an expert amount of respect but with the appropriate amount of pushback and tough questions. (For someone like Jonny)
This was honestly a great interview. I just discovered Jonny a few days ago. My heart went out to him then and it does now as well.
Check out the Rise and Fall of Jonny Craig on TH-cam.
Enjoy the mountain of music that has dropped featuring him either when he was in bands or as a solo artist. You’re going to have a lot of fun on this journey.
I am SO SO SO GRATEFUL for this interview. I've loved Jonny Craig's music for 13 years now. And to show this musician as an actual human being with struggles is just so needed. Helped me. Wish you could have more interviews like this with other amazing artists to help humanize them. Peace and love to Jonny
I love seeing this side of Jonny. Once you've gone through as much pain as addicts have you deserve to finally be at peace with yourself. I wish more people would try to be understanding instead of judgmental. Spread love.
probably one of the best music related interviews i've had the pleasure of watching
They need a Jonny Craig biopic movie…one of the most talented singers but who’s lived a hard life…who’s famous in his “scene” but pretty unknown in the mainstream…if he could stay clean would make a good ending too.
He made his life hard
FINALLY! I've been wondering if you'd cover Jonny. You've mentioned him before, but I don't hear a ton about him. ...can't wait to watch this, huge fan of his!
This is awesome. I hope the best for the man and getting everything sorted out. Life is a fucking struggle and it aint easy. His parts in DGD will always be some of my favorites. Would be really cool to see him guest on a track in the future.
I highly doubt DGD wants anything to do with him ever again lol
@@smileinursleepxx shame really caus dgd been stinkin for a while now imo
@@stonecoldsteverharvey7862 lol Jonny was their worst vocalist
This interview is extremely important and hit me even harder after discovering how Tim Feerick passed away.
The stigma around addiction only perpetuates the epidemic we are facing. It’s important to talk about these things openly so that people realize they’re not alone, and conversations like this blaze paths so that others can find the road to recovery.
Great job, Finn and thanks for opening up as well. I’m rooting for Jonny’s health.
I haven't heard anything about Tim's cause of death. Was there any news about that?
@@JJJJJJJJJASDF there’s a news report on it on TH-cam from earlier this week
This is most sober I've ever seen jonny I've booked and played with him many time through the past 16 years
Been waiting for this interview for years thank you
I'm a heroin addict and a huge fan of jonny Craig and yourself thank you so much for this interview it really made me happy and I connect to him on a big level, been sober for 14 months now and there's no stopping and using jonnys music help me not do drugs rather then glorify
As talented as I think he is, it has always felt weird to still be listening to his music knowing all of the stuff he's done and been through, but from one human to another human, I hope he figures things out and lives healthier. And the fact that he's actually taking accountability more than ever before gives me some hope
Great to see Jonny Craig! He had a rough time and I'm glad he lives the clean life now. Stay strong
Really good interview.. Glad you didn't shy away from the tough questions. Hopefully he gets and keeps his shit together. That man has the voice of an angel.
It makes me happy to see him speaking like this. It really feels like he's on the right path and I believe that people can change.
Great interview, I'm really excited about the direction that Johnny is going right now.
Hell yes! So happy to see Jonny look clean and happy right now.
