This story is a lie anyone who knew these bands before on MySpace watched the vocal tryout competition where he lost but won by default of actually living in the US
It wasn't by accident. The beef was mainly between Ronnie and Max green and some of ETF band members. But since Craig was now the lead singer he got caught in the crossfire.
The beef is over because Ronnie is successful, the beef would probably be there forever if Ronnie didn’t become anything and ETF became a lot more popular like FTR.
@@JesseGMan7nope the beef wasn’t over Ronnie being successful you’re literally a fan just yapping. It was over Ronnie putting ETF is a shit situation by violating his probation with Brass Knuckles and pretty much Ronnie always being selfish choosing what HE wants to do at anyone expense
Craigs the best, Genuine and Real! Before i met him i seen him from like 10/15 feet away and was thinking, he Looks Too Cool( soon after i realized Its BECAUSE he Is!) See ya Tomorrow Craig M
Mad respect to Craig for putting up w all of the bs that started when he accidentally joined 😂😂 dudes tough af. Dealing w pissed off troubled emo teens isn’t for the faint of heart- I know this for a fact. The scene was brutaaal back then.
Escape the fate was one of the first bands that got me into Metal. I've been a Metalhead since early 2010. I remember that my first Metal record CD ever was ETF's self-titled album. Miss those days. I listen to mainly Goth Rock, Darkwave, Technical Death Metal, Progressive Metal and Black Metal.. but I always go and listen to Escape The Fate, New or Old. I preferred Craig Mabbit in Escape The Fate! such a perfect match.
I will forever need to know what this would have sounded like. closest we'll ever really get are his tracks with TWA, which is definitely my favorite stuff he's ever done.
I heard this before. He was just fillin in and then officially joined in when Ronnie wasn’t present or cant perform anymore. I dunno if that was the time he got arrested or something.
Im laughing too hard at this especially since i know some of the ASD guys. Wonder what would have happened if that text had actually went to Joey wilson and not ETF manager. 😱
This is such a fun fact that not many people know and I love everyone's reaction for it 😂
I knew it 10 years ago. Ronnie never left either, they replaced him bc he went to prison
@@kky.xlmao it doesn't matter anymore
@@chrismabbitt7162 Of course it doesn’t, but I just stumbled upon this video and comment so whatever
@@kky.x k
I miss Blessthefall with Craig more than anything. His Last Walk 🤘🔥
I miss him more with The Word Alive. Their EP with him was excellent.
Both those bands are bettee without him lol @@ThePurestMayhem
The first three songs on that album are the best three song progression in metalcore. So good
And after all these years I STILL keep learning new things about Escape The Fate !
That's an epic story. And now I can't see escape the fate without Craig. And can't see falling In Reverse without Ronnie
This story is a lie anyone who knew these bands before on MySpace watched the vocal tryout competition where he lost but won by default of actually living in the US
😂😅 lol facts on facts. Like no joke dude!!
To think all that beef was by accident lmaoo both cool dudes Ronnie and Craig both mad talented I'm glad they let shits go

@@realscenekid Read the word because and try your best reading comprehension skills, and maybe you won’t misconstrued what I said this time bud.
@@realscenekid "realscenekid" crying because Ronnie isn't a poser like you. how fucking ironic.
BtF and ASD were such a big part of my teens!
Damn I’ve been obsessed with this band and Craig for years I didn’t know this fact 😮
Its always that dude named Joey🤣
Craigs the best, Genuine and Real! Before i met him i seen him from like 10/15 feet away and was thinking, he Looks Too Cool( soon after i realized Its BECAUSE he Is!) See ya Tomorrow Craig M
Craig, was great last night performing EMO ORCHESTRA!much love and support, always!!

It's like Bob Ross once said, "there are no mistakes, only happy accidents". I feel like that applies here perfectly 😂
Till this day the ETF lore still runs deep
Vblessthefall is one of my FAVOURITE bands of all time... Black rose dying everyone!
It feels like a lifetime ago
I was talking to Joey from ASD a couple months ago and he told me that Ronnie also tried to join when he initially got fired from ETF
Bad fit imo. Ronnies vocal style doesn’t fit them at all.
@@JesseGMan7 I agree. I think Ronnie was just trying to join any band at the time to survive.
@@aaronbaclayon2633 Yeah does sound like it
Yea I remember the ExtremeThing festival everyone went bonkers when they saw it
was Craig !

I'm playing a show with etf in Michigan. It's my bands first show and mine personally in 5 years. I'm looking forward to it. ❤

Rest in peace Jordan Blake
this story never gets old. I love it. 🤟🏼🤣🤣
Always wondered how amazing a skylit drive would've been with Craig
Holly cow you mean to tell me we could have had a skylitdrive with Craig 😮
I have been a fan since day one and didn't know this. Wow kinda cool
Would have loved to see him sing for asd.
Dying is your latest fashion is so underrated
Such a great album! Not a bad tune on it at all!
I went to your concert yesterday day I’m the one that took a pic with you and my sis got the list of the songs
Somewhere in there he was with The Word Alive as well.
MAN I forgot that demo with him is so nasty!
@@goose5761 are you on drugs was a fucking banger
I heard this before. He was just fillin in and then officially joined in when Ronnie wasn’t present or cant perform anymore. I dunno if that was the time he got arrested or something.
He didn't get arrested at the time he was so heavy in drugs if I remember he couldn't perform cause he was so out of it
@@ticktock1624 oh thanks for the clarification. It was so long ago.
Yo what’s the song playing in the background? Sounds dope af
Low (from ETF obviously :D)
HELP THE PHOTO OF MIKEY WAY WHEN HE MENTIONED NOKIA PHONE
I prefer Craig in BTF, but that's history.
Blessthefall with him is the best
Dayum I love a sky lit drive :o
This whole thing about ETF and BTF is so confusing, holy shit. I still love both bands equally
That explains so much😅
Wowwww!!! I never knew this! Omg. Hahaahhaa. Thats hilarious
He sounds like mrballen
Pft Ronnie was locked up during that time.
What song in the background?
Low (from ETF obviously :D)
ASD would have been so good with him
BTF and ASD would be better with Craig imo. But ETF was better with Ronnie honestly. Poor Craig.
Im laughing too hard at this especially since i know some of the ASD guys. Wonder what would have happened if that text had actually went to Joey wilson and not ETF manager. 😱
Escape the fate? These days it’s Craig and Rob + a few random dudes
Its just rob
name of song ?? 😮
Low by ETF
@@silviaelena5443thanks You
Yeah I'm sure that was true
Lies he tried out on video like everyone else and he lost the competition but was closer(in the US) than the kid who won who was from Denmark
❤
Oh how things would've turned out if A Skylit Drive got Craig instead of Jag 😂. Damn, now I wish that would've happened instead. Jag sucks
Wasn't Ronnie still in jail then?
Probation probably, couldn’t leave the state.
Wait... WHAT? 😂
And he never did anything to top the first record 😂
I still prefer wayyyy to much the 1st singer ronnie
Thats a shitty story.
The unreal story of how idgaf about craig
poor guy will always live in the shadow of ronnie .. but he has a lot to learn from him :)
Craig has always been 10x the person Ronnie is. Ronnie is a tool
that sounds like "kirk hanmett will always live in the shadow of dave mustaine"
@@Fedethedangerous95 that is false.. Kirk hammet and Dave are both very good at what they do :p
@@MitzyGodsmack agree, that's what I'm saying.
So delulu..
