they are not Spiritbox fans. they are keyboard warriors saying they are fans. this couldn't be further from the truth. some people like to cancel other people, they will invent any stories to make it happen. and spiritbox were stupid enough to fall for it. they should have stood their ground against the bullies
So true. i was talking to a friend about it, and we came to the conclusion that it will end up hurting spiritbox in the end. People will either not bother with them because of their willingness to throw someone under the bus or wait for anything out of line to call them hypocrites. Sucks for them.
I love Avenged Sevenfold I'm glad M. Shadows isn't going to let people bully him into pulling out of a show because they can't accept that someone has different opinions or hate him because he spent time in Prison. It's like they are so obsessed with his past that they refuse to look at what he's done since he was released he doesn't touch drugs or alcohol anymore for example, he's trying to do better, people need to stop living in the past and see him for how he is now everyone has done shit no one is perfect he's a Human and deserves as much respect as anyone else does. If they don't like him they can fuck off and listen to something else.
it's just like the 1 line in watch the world burn "If you hate me why you actin obsessive." But this is the world we live in right now and it's pathetic. It's been called out multiple times by different artists, cancel culture holds on to what you said or did 20 years ago and they don't like knowing that people can change. They dont like knowing that someone could have been extremely racist 10 years ago, but today they saw the error of their ways and understand what they used to be and changed that. In cancel cultures mind you would always be a racist. Cancel culture is a cancer that we as a society need to erradicate.

Blm is a communist Marxist organization as is antifa, nevermind the irony of the antifa acronym ...the Lbgtq community as it's known does not support MOST OF THE GAY PEOPLE I KNOW....they simply want extra rights not the same ones....

Saw falling in reverse for the first time live on the rockzilla tour, and despite the crowd being a bit extra rowdy Radke actually paused the set twice to make sure some people in the crowd were okay and medics could check them out. Had a pretty genuine response too. I'm quite excited to see them live with A7X.
@Bjorn Eriksson to be fair, A7X is an incredibly successful band with nothing to lose now. Spiritbox has a lot more to lose if they get involved in a big controversy But, I do think they have received a lot more bad press by canceling rather than just ignoring the complaints
“We can all be friends, stop getting mad at people ruffling feathers & being firecrackers. Everyone is so sensitive nowadays, people should be allowed to say stupid things with no consequences because idk what I’m saying “ - M Swallows
I've always liked M. Shadows, he has always seemed like an incredibly humble and down to earth guy. Props to him for keeping a level head during these strange times.
Awesome to know that A7X hasn’t gone soft & still stick to there guns. I’m sure there management & label probably encouraged them not to have F.I.R. open up for them but they didn’t care about the possible backlash & just care about having a fun night of rock/metal with fans who will appreciate it.
But they did gone soft. Their music is bland borind and it sucks. It's like sonic erectile disfunction lol. You thunk what he said was brave? It wasn't brave at all, plenty of people with that kind of opinion
Wow M.shadows is very insightful and well thought in his words. Man this dude with his band mates are really great. I hope more people appreciate them and their music
I've fallen out of love with Avenged over the years because I simply burnt myself out on their music, waiting for something new, for them to come back out of their hibernation. Now it feels like I'm freshly discovering them again and I'm totally here for it.
Honestly bro, it felt like I had to listen to mostly other artists in order to combat that same exact issue. I went mostly through a lot of other bands and music, with very like A7X inclusion, and I feel very good about it. Now whenever I listen to anything, it has that passionate kick it used to
I'm a big fan of both A7X and of Falling in Reverse. I feel you did Shadows an injustice here. I listened to the whole interview before this video and you didn't put who said what in the transcript. A lot of the stuff you put was from the MBA and not shadows
Fuck the haters, ruffle the feathers, rock the boat! Do what you want and own that stage, the world is watching 🌎. Make sure to put on a good show for them, rock their world!
The old head comment is to the gate keepers of metal obviously not all but you know it’s a lot of the online community who live to hate. The rest are young people who are trying to cancel FIR because they disagree with the frontman for bs with no merit.
Old head doesn't necessarily mean old metal fans. It's mostly an insult towards metal fans that are unwilling to accept anything that's new and different.
@@LuckySevens Its why metal heads get clowned on in the music community sadly, tho lets be real this "old guard/new guard" drama happens in most genres. I just like good music at the end of the day despite my fan biases.
Stand your ground and go your own path whether others like it or not. Nowadays bands just want to follow what others do but never stick up for themselves. Fanbase is always important buttt fans shouldn’t dislike them over a guy who has turned his life around. Just shows how many live in the past and I always agree with Ronnie when he stands his ground and gives shit back to others
Honestly if spiritbox wants to play on that tour, their fans should never stop them. That’s not a fan and you cannot call yourself one if you’re gonna stop one of your fav bands from touring with a band whose lead singer you don’t like. Some FIR fans might not know of spiritbox and this could’ve been a chance for them to get out to more people. Spiritbox is not famous by any means. So those fans seriously held that band down by doing that. You’ll never see me drop off a show bc the fans gave me backlash. I’ll find new fans then. If I dropped off a show it’s my choice and mine alone. Which would usually only be due to life circumstances. Not bc I decided to join a tour and my fans hate a band on it, and are butthurt. Deal with it. Don’t go to that show. But there will be people who will be there who will be new fans. You’re not a fan if you’re giving a band backlash for this reason…
Finn's interview was stellar and you captured some of the best points M Shadows articulated in such plain common sense it was ridiculously awesome. Great vid. P.S. Ronnie is amazing, too. :)
I can't wait for this tour. I'm glad M Shadows is defending Ronnie & FIR. I will say I appreciate how Ronnie has handled this. I honestly expected a lot more vitriol from him. As usual, Ronnie is hard to predict & his response here shows how he has grown over the years. And I can't wait to listen to Finn's full interview with M Shadows too.
Love Matt for this. It’s sad that people are 1) such crybabies for bitching about words in songs. 2) bands are so weak that they give in to their “fans” that complain. If these “fans” are complaining they are not true fans anyway.
You can disagree with people, but can still be friendly towards them. What happened to that mindset? Now it’s if the other person doesn’t agree with you then they’re your enemy
Its even WORSE than just being the enemy............they try to silence, crush and destroy people...... Cancel culture in full swing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i just saw falling in reverse this past weekend with breaking benjamin. i wasnt super familiar with falling, but i will say this. i have been youtubing the snit out of them since, they stole the show for sure. the entire 25k arena was on their feet and rockin out to ronnie n company. i was absolutely blown away by the energy and his talent. i actually felt bad for BB, cause ppl actually left after falling, and to play after such a youthful powerful performance, yikes. rock on !!
Always appreciate people standing their ground even if I disagree. It's when people are fake about what they believe that pisses me off. Good in M. Shadows for standing up.
Mad props to A7X for telling it how it is and standing with the facts rather than someone's hurt feelings. I might not be Ronnies fan, but he did his time and still became successful.
Man instant thumbs up just for mentioning the punk rock MBA love what you guys are doing keep up the great work both of you this channel has became my regular news for music
who are these tools who don't approve of Ron Radke??!!!... Ron Radke is the Badass of our time.... Jealousy and envy by losers that can't make it like Ron did.. Ron EARNED and DESERVES everything he has, and his opinion matters because he is the man making the difference in the industry, not the haters that post trash.
A7X has always been a “do whatever the fuck you want” band. The only thing that should matter is how individuals feel about what they want to do. Props to Shadows for sticking to his guns
Their first ever major album with Warner Bros Record had approx. 72 minutes doing completely different things than what they had done previously. They are the type to do what they want and will not hesitate to go separate ways if the record manager got in their way. I don't think they will bow down to any pressure.
Man stuff like this makes me even more excited for this show. The crowd is going to have feeling and breath to it. The forum is going to move that night
I’m not a big Ronnie fan but loved Matt’s decision to not let others dictate what his band has decided on. He’s been here for the past 2 decades and knows way more than most of these marks on twitter. Glad he has a good reasoning.
M shadows has always had a really good mindset. It's why he's one of the people I've always looked up to. I clicked this video to see what he said knowing he'd stand his ground. Proud to have the confirmation my man is still standing firm with his beliefs 🤘🏼
Fans wanting bands to feud and have unnecessary drama amongst each other is so corny. Why can’t people just enjoy the music and keep it pushing? Bands have the right to play whatever they want and play with whoever they wish. You might not always like it but that’s fine. I loved Linkin Park but when they started stepping away from their nu metal sound I stopped listening to them and found other bands I liked. I didn’t hate on LP in fact I applauded them for trying something different and making it work for themselves, it just wasn’t my taste. Simple as that. People need to get over themselves.
I'm 51... I love falling in reverse, I love that Ronnie doesn't back down from anyone! It's refreshing. Also keep talking about him 😂😂 the shows I went to while touring with Hollywood Undead... Were sold out shows! Yeah, that really happens! 🤘🏼
I feel like some people are literally acting like kids. It's like a ten-year-old who cry about "I don't like that person.", and demand others not hang out with that person. That's so weird.
I'm not surprised by Matt's reaction and his words - A7X has never been know for sitting around and taking shit from people. They always keep their head up and that's something I really respect about them!
They may not play punk rock, but the A7X dudes are punk. They’re gonna do what they’re gonna do, and kudos to them for it. They stuck to their guns. They also don’t punch down, always a plus. Good guys. If they weren’t punk, they wouldn’t have scored Brooks, they wouldn’t be hanging with NoFX, and Brett Gurewitz wouldn’t respect them as much as he does. Same with Ronnie Radke. Sometimes he perhaps goes a smidge too far at times- but you can respect the fact that he’s up front and doesn’t take any shit. He doesn’t suffer fools. He walks the talk, and I can respect that, too.
That’s all that matters….not letting someone bully you into anything and sticking with your beliefs. I always loved avenged…but damn I love them more for not being pussies like a lot of other “rock” bands that fold under pressure. For example RATM who now rages for the machine….
Same could be said for FIR for a lot of people. I'm not a Ronnie hater or anything btw, loved ETF back in the day...it's simply the fact that they do nothing for me musically.
Ronnie radke is a genius. He is good at every genre. He puts his hands on. He can sing optically he can rap. He can rock. He can yell and he can honestly as a free American citizen give somebody his own opinion just like you hear mine respecting the man you can choose not to. That's the good thing about America but you don't have a right to go and try and destroy his career. If you don't like it, change the station on the radio. That's as simple as it is. Doesn't have to be a battle. You don't even have to listen to it. You could literally turn around and walk away instead of trying to make a big deal of someone opinion just because he is in the light the public eye. If it was just any other person like the guy that lives on the corner of your street that's treated you like crap your entire life. Would every one of you be up in arms and trying to post everything about the guy that lives at the end of your road? No you wouldn't. You would just move on with your life. Why can't you do it now?
Avenged Sevenfold don't exactly have a super modern sound nowadays. I like the rest of the guys but I do not really like M Shadows at the moment, not necessarily on this issue but I find it hard to agree with anything he says on twitter at the moment.
Bro I still can’t believe people are buying falling in reverse tickets. I understand there’s other bands they like on the bill but that’s like ordering a large dookie with fries & your favorite drink.
Damn, I like Falling In Reverse, just like Marylin Manson. You got ignorant people who just like to attack someone because they are different. Yes, I am a Christian, and it is sad to see this stuff. If anyone says they are Christian and attacks people verbally or physically because of who they are or what they believe, then they aren't Christian because they are doing things out of hate. As a Christian, if anyone had this happened to them. I am sorry for fake Christians misrepesenting us.😢
Leave it to Christians to bring up religion when it wasn't even the topic at hand while also mentioning multiple times that they themselves are Christian. You're like the memes about vegans where you have to place yourself into a situation and proclaim you're a Christian. No one asked.
Literally. This is why I've lost respect for Avenged Sevenfold, they obviously don't care what their fans have to say if they are still bringing FIR on tour
@@sigma2653 Why should they care? People are trying to force them to do what they don't want to do. Don't like it, don't listen to it. Plain and simple.
Nah, FIR is the only band worth opening for them right now. No other band in the scene can even touch Ronnie creatively. Even if Ronnie was guilty as sin and without a shadow of a doubt he was a horrible human being (he's absolutely not, he's a sweetheart), bands should be lining up single file to beg him to join their tour.
@Sigma first of all fuck those fans. Second, they're grown ass adults and can bring whoever they feel like on tour with them. Did you not see the part where he said he did some research and saw that Ronnie is innocent of what he was accused of? Why aren't all those 'fans' smart enough to see what he saw? That Ronnie is a victim of cancel culture from uneducated assholes who just repeat the same accusations that were proven false 5 minutes after they were said?

i just saw falling in reverse this past weekend with breaking benjamin. i wasnt super familiar with falling, but i will say this. i have been youtubing the snit out of them since, they stole the show for sure. the entire 25k arena was on their feet and rockin out to ronnie n company. i was absolutely blown away by the energy and his talent. i actually felt bad for BB, cause ppl actually left after falling, and to play after such a youthful powerful performance, yikes. rock on !!
Always appreciate people standing their ground even if I disagree. It's when people are fake about what they believe that pisses me off. Good in M. Shadows for standing up.
Mad props to A7X for telling it how it is and standing with the facts rather than someone's hurt feelings. I might not be Ronnies fan, but he did his time and still became successful.
Man instant thumbs up just for mentioning the punk rock MBA love what you guys are doing keep up the great work both of you this channel has became my regular news for music
Much appreciated!
Fibs McGimpy is wack bro
This is why avenged will always be a favorite of mine since 06-07. And now falling in reverse up there also.
Now I love Avenged for their hearts and their musical/media genius
who are these tools who don't approve of Ron Radke??!!!... Ron Radke is the Badass of our time.... Jealousy and envy by losers that can't make it like Ron did.. Ron EARNED and DESERVES everything he has, and his opinion matters because he is the man making the difference in the industry, not the haters that post trash.
A7X has always been a “do whatever the fuck you want” band. The only thing that should matter is how individuals feel about what they want to do. Props to Shadows for sticking to his guns
Their first ever major album with Warner Bros Record had approx. 72 minutes doing completely different things than what they had done previously. They are the type to do what they want and will not hesitate to go separate ways if the record manager got in their way. I don't think they will bow down to any pressure.
Man stuff like this makes me even more excited for this show. The crowd is going to have feeling and breath to it. The forum is going to move that night
I’m not a big Ronnie fan but loved Matt’s decision to not let others dictate what his band has decided on. He’s been here for the past 2 decades and knows way more than most of these marks on twitter. Glad he has a good reasoning.
Honestly I love FIR and dont get the backlash. Still a fan, and would love to see both bands tour
Props to M Shadows for being a class act
I just watched that interview too! :D
Mad respect to Matt and the rest of A7X for this
Maybe I'm just showing my age here, but back in my day, I didn't need to assault someone's character to dislike their band.
Matt is such a classy guy and has so much love for what he does. His interview with Eddie Trunk about the new album was really great.
I'd never heard of spiritbox until I saw them in Sydney at knotfest last week and they were pretty damn good.
Ronnie is a real one better appreciate tf out of that because those are very few and far in between.
Amazing artist makes some of the best music.
M shadows has always had a really good mindset. It's why he's one of the people I've always looked up to. I clicked this video to see what he said knowing he'd stand his ground. Proud to have the confirmation my man is still standing firm with his beliefs 🤘🏼
Fans wanting bands to feud and have unnecessary drama amongst each other is so corny. Why can’t people just enjoy the music and keep it pushing? Bands have the right to play whatever they want and play with whoever they wish. You might not always like it but that’s fine. I loved Linkin Park but when they started stepping away from their nu metal sound I stopped listening to them and found other bands I liked. I didn’t hate on LP in fact I applauded them for trying something different and making it work for themselves, it just wasn’t my taste. Simple as that. People need to get over themselves.
I'm 51... I love falling in reverse, I love that Ronnie doesn't back down from anyone! It's refreshing. Also keep talking about him 😂😂 the shows I went to while touring with Hollywood Undead... Were sold out shows! Yeah, that really happens! 🤘🏼
Matt’s a legend. Good on him for being honest and doing the right thing.
Ronnie Radke has my vote
Shout out Finn from PRMBA
I wrote that a minute ago then saw your comment. So I deleted my comment. Finn is killing it!
Is it common for you to give shout outs to right wing nutjobs and child groomers? L
Massive respect for M Shadows,,
I feel like some people are literally acting like kids. It's like a ten-year-old who cry about "I don't like that person.", and demand others not hang out with that person. That's so weird.
So hyped to see both of these bands at Louder than Life later this year
Rip Wayne swinny completely off topic but music has lost another legend
CLICK CLICK BOOM!
I'm not surprised by Matt's reaction and his words - A7X has never been know for sitting around and taking shit from people. They always keep their head up and that's something I really respect about them!
They may not play punk rock, but the A7X dudes are punk. They’re gonna do what they’re gonna do, and kudos to them for it. They stuck to their guns. They also don’t punch down, always a plus. Good guys.
If they weren’t punk, they wouldn’t have scored Brooks, they wouldn’t be hanging with NoFX, and Brett Gurewitz wouldn’t respect them as much as he does.
Same with Ronnie Radke. Sometimes he perhaps goes a smidge too far at times- but you can respect the fact that he’s up front and doesn’t take any shit. He doesn’t suffer fools. He walks the talk, and I can respect that, too.
People sometimes don’t realize that RR is actually a pretty nice guy…..
…. as long as you aren’t running your mouth, that is.
M. Shadows coming in with wisdom and love for Ronnie. 🤘🏼
Ronnie is trying to be a better person now. I've watched some of his recent videos and he's really grown as a person. Long live A7X
Falling in reverse were fantastic live see them if you get the chance
Ronnie is a game changer👽🤘🏻 iv seen this for year with his work 👏 🙌
My top 2 favorite bands in 1 concert!
I LOVE BOTH OF THESE BANDS !!!!
What does Ja Rule think about this?
Shadows is the man!!!
That’s all that matters….not letting someone bully you into anything and sticking with your beliefs. I always loved avenged…but damn I love them more for not being pussies like a lot of other “rock” bands that fold under pressure. For example RATM who now rages for the machine….
Massive hats off to both Shadows and Ronnie for not giving into internet cry baby’s.
Spiritbox could fade away and it would not hurt my feelings a bit
Same. Never understood the hype behind them. Mediocre at best
Same could be said for FIR for a lot of people. I'm not a Ronnie hater or anything btw, loved ETF back in the day...it's simply the fact that they do nothing for me musically.
Ronnie radke is a genius. He is good at every genre. He puts his hands on. He can sing optically he can rap. He can rock. He can yell and he can honestly as a free American citizen give somebody his own opinion just like you hear mine respecting the man you can choose not to. That's the good thing about America but you don't have a right to go and try and destroy his career. If you don't like it, change the station on the radio. That's as simple as it is. Doesn't have to be a battle. You don't even have to listen to it. You could literally turn around and walk away instead of trying to make a big deal of someone opinion just because he is in the light the public eye. If it was just any other person like the guy that lives on the corner of your street that's treated you like crap your entire life. Would every one of you be up in arms and trying to post everything about the guy that lives at the end of your road? No you wouldn't. You would just move on with your life. Why can't you do it now?
It’s a shame Spirit Box pulled out of those shows. It looks more like they’re being pushed around by the community instead of standing up for it.
Huge falling in reverse fan. Go Ronnie. Pumped to see a7x in July 👊🏼
Avenged Sevenfold don't exactly have a super modern sound nowadays. I like the rest of the guys but I do not really like M Shadows at the moment, not necessarily on this issue but I find it hard to agree with anything he says on twitter at the moment.
Well just listen to the music you dont have to agree with the artist to do that
He's a brainwashed leftoid.
People don’t realize If we just all got along we would ALL have a better happier life.
Bro I still can’t believe people are buying falling in reverse tickets. I understand there’s other bands they like on the bill but that’s like ordering a large dookie with fries & your favorite drink.
Damn, I like Falling In Reverse, just like Marylin Manson. You got ignorant people who just like to attack someone because they are different. Yes, I am a Christian, and it is sad to see this stuff. If anyone says they are Christian and attacks people verbally or physically because of who they are or what they believe, then they aren't Christian because they are doing things out of hate. As a Christian, if anyone had this happened to them. I am sorry for fake Christians misrepesenting us.😢
Leave it to Christians to bring up religion when it wasn't even the topic at hand while also mentioning multiple times that they themselves are Christian. You're like the memes about vegans where you have to place yourself into a situation and proclaim you're a Christian. No one asked.
fvkin loved it a ton. god tier level of quality. so glad I came across this video.
i dont care about the things Ronnie did as a person, i just think FIR sucks and there are far better bands they could have opening for them lol
Literally. This is why I've lost respect for Avenged Sevenfold, they obviously don't care what their fans have to say if they are still bringing FIR on tour
@@sigma2653 Why should they care? People are trying to force them to do what they don't want to do.
Don't like it, don't listen to it. Plain and simple.
Nah, FIR is the only band worth opening for them right now. No other band in the scene can even touch Ronnie creatively. Even if Ronnie was guilty as sin and without a shadow of a doubt he was a horrible human being (he's absolutely not, he's a sweetheart), bands should be lining up single file to beg him to join their tour.
@@sigma2653 They play what they want to play and with whomever they want. I'm a huge fan and think FiR is a great opener.
@Sigma first of all fuck those fans. Second, they're grown ass adults and can bring whoever they feel like on tour with them. Did you not see the part where he said he did some research and saw that Ronnie is innocent of what he was accused of? Why aren't all those 'fans' smart enough to see what he saw? That Ronnie is a victim of cancel culture from uneducated assholes who just repeat the same accusations that were proven false 5 minutes after they were said?
I'm going to that show with VIP tickets at LA !!!! HYPE
Who?
Love what he wrote... I Agree Wholeheartedly!!! THIS IS SOOOO SAD - IT MIGHT BE POLITICAL
Listening to Falling in Reverse is like purposely wasting your time.
You probably said the same thing about investing in Google. 😂
@@adoracle1 Don't ever compare something with Radke at the forefront to a world renowned company like Google.
Yeah way to go fans, get spiritbox to drop off a giant tour that would probably only help accelerate their careers! Good job people
