Takes a man to own up to making mistakes. Takes a even bigger man to wear those mistakes proudly and show others just how stupid he was before bettering himself.
Dam straight he didn't hide and wait a year to respond he came and said I was a kid and searching for something bigger than him self hell I thought I wanted to go to Afghanistan and join you know what but a I was young a angry and dumb love this band even more now
Russian culture is vastly different from American culture - Russians don't have the "white guilt" which is embedded in American culture (and needs to stop) so Alex is adjusting to American culture.
he doesnt regret that time in his life because it formed who he was and got him ofg drugs, he literslly said in the video when he was 25, 26 he looked back at having the tattoo and said he was stupid. it helps to open your ears and listen@straightfiremetalstraightfirem
@@WardenOfTerra I have met my fair share of real ones . They all had something in common despite which group they conform to . That is they wear their tattoos and hate openly . If he was associated then some where we should find him spewing hate openly or even being recorded in private doing so . And the history of that symbol goes way farther back then Germany .Its found all over the world from multiple cultures , tribes and religions . That fact would have gave him an easy out if he wanted but he didn't take it . He was honest . He was young and wanted to look tough or be feared . The end .
Congrats to this man. I'm not talking about Alex, I love this Rockfeed guy. The man's putting in the work over the last few years and I'm glad it's paying off.
@@damenwalker5260 eh. I had my rock show back in the day. I'm doing the mom thing now. I miss it sometimes, but my daughter is priority 1 these days. At least I get to teach her about my music and she's having a great time learning to play my guitar(s). It's not my turn any more. It's hers now. I'm good with that. Passing the torch is bittersweet, but I can't think of anyone I'd rather hand it off to.
No he said he didn't regret, because it doesn't change the past mistakes made... he still admits it was mistakes. All people have a past some worse then others but it's just that.... the past he admitted he was in a bad place when it happened that he was trying to find something to take up his time instead of continuing with things that almost killed him. Judge if you must but it's hard to judge the past when it's already in the past.
@@straightfiremetalstraightfirem he did say he was sorry for the tattoo, hence also the reason he covered it up. nazis don't cover up their tattoos unless they stop being a nazi realizing its hateful for no reason. he doesn't surround himself with the bigotry anymore, and has given many people from many different races a job in his band on touring.
@@straightfiremetalstraightfirem he didn't say he was sorry, I was just generalizing. It's Ok to be sorry and change. And, if your point of view is you aren't sorry for a thing, but it was just a period of time, that's OK also.
“Nazi” is being loosely thrown around like “racist”. The more we use those terms for those who have different views than us then we lower the true weight of the original definitions.
Exactly!! Anyone that disagrees with the current administration is instantly labeled a "nazi" or a "white supremacist". The Nazi party wasn't even right wing!!
Unbelievable but not surprising… Unfortunately no matter what Alex says, the people throwing these accusations are so full of hatred they’ll never accept it!

He didn’t “realize his mistakes” he said himself he regrets nothing. He covered them up so he wouldn’t get cancelled, his words in this very interview 💀

Alex owns the fact he was stupid just trying to find a place to fit in during recovery from drugs. These extremists groups feed on the vulnerable and its hard to then break away from those groups. Alex acknowledged he messed up, he was just trying to find his way and can reflect on it. He doesn't regret it because it wad a huge part of his journey into being the person he is.... that doesn't mean he still holds those views. He isn't denying his past affiliations and that's big of him. Thd fact is if he hadn't found that group of people he may gave relapsed on drugs at the time. People can change, he recognised he's views didn't fit and left it behind him to be a better person. Can't falt his transparency on the matter. Do I believe he's s Naz! - no, do I believe he ever really was - not really but do I think he was that stupid young man who was introverted snd just wanted to fit into a group he found himself surrounded by - yes. People also get caught up on some of the language he chooses to use - English isn't this guys first language, he grew up in a totally different culture so he will at times not be able to find the right words. Give him a break.
When I watch Alex Terrible videos, they are some of the most honest and positive and down to earth messages I've seen from a metal artist. All of his videos spread positivity and good vibes. Everyone trying to say he's a "hateful edgelord" clearly doesn't watch any of his content.
Alex is one of the most honest guys I’ve seen in the music scene. I wish more people would be like him. Everyone makes mistakes. Especially when drugs are involved. I’ll always be a fan of Alex and the Slaughter to Prevail guys! Really glad to hear Rock Feed will be doing more videos like this.
Always appreciated his honesty. People are so intolerant of imperfection, mistakes and faults....all of which are so incredibly human. Like, it is impossible to live a life without these things. I just don't understand the moral superiority complex so many people have. Live long enough you'll hurt people and make dumb mistakes too - no one is immune.
The moral superiority complex you speak of.....comes from keyboard warriors getting a little too comfortable with the fact theyre safe in their on homes as they run their mouths. When it comes face to face, those same people will 9/10 times say nothing at all. Its a very f*cked up dynamic. I think If you say something you should have to stand by it.....People have gotten in this habit of saying sh*t that in most cases in real life would likely get someone k*lled or at the very least their jaw re-worked.
Everything I've seen of Alex online with his personality and his views on the world, he seems like a really nice and open minded guy. Consistently enough that I believe it's genuine. Hope all the best for him in his success long term. Like he said, the bigger you get the more haters you get
My sister and I are the reason for a man denouncing his previous hateful beliefs. My mother grew up with him and like many people in Texas back in the day he fell into a bad crowd. Then my mother had my sister who was mixed race and then she had me who's part Jewish. He changed because of how close he was with my mom. He loves me and my sister just like his own daughters. People can change and they have a right to change.
@@stellak.6095 Where you not able to read the whole thing? It was only 6 sentences. Anyway I'll sum it up for you since you seem to be having a hard time. "People can change and they have a right to change." Basically don't judge people for their past.
@@stellak.6095 so what are you even on about if the man denounced his old ways? there are a lot of people on the earth that get sith the wrong crowd and then leave because they open their eyes to how hateful it is. See The Westboro Baptist Church and folks that got out of it...
Alex is so kind, he’s like all of us, we fall into a situation, we’re picked up while weak, we say or do things to feel better… but in the end it is the strong that make it out and Alex is one of them! I’ll personally never judge you on your bad past or decisions as long as you have moved on to be better 😊 much love Alex! You had a rough road, glad you got to a better path, we all can learn from you
Nothing but respect for this sincerely genuine human being. Who hasn't made a decision that later came back to bite you in the ass? I wish more people were as honest, open and as Alex. I like his attitude.
Those who follow him know he's spoke on this, covered those nasty ink. He was a dumb young man, living in a different culture that you can't understand unless you've lived it. I too was a dumb young man, but we grow, or try to be a better person. He's trying i think.
I was going to mention that. It was a pretty powerful video and he really does how human he is. People hate him just to hate him but he's a really great person.

@@diabolikalm Idk ask them, I'm not talking about a person I've no clue about, and their sin way out number what Alex was about. Its like apples and oranges you can't compare Alex to what they do. They kill innocents, you saying Alex has ever done that. Apples and oranges my guy.
Genuinely one of the most humble men to ever exist. Done a lot of stupid things in his life and owns up to it, recognises that what we she was wrong and grows as a person. You'd be hard pressed to find another guy at willing to admit his mistakes

Dude, Alex is a Russian who grew up in a completely different culture than most Americans! The dude has been getting hammered in the media a lot recently and he has consistently been defending himself and what he believes in. Unfortunately Germany took a lot of symbolisms and completely destroyed it. Talking from a historical perspective and nothing else. I personally support the guy because he stands up for individualism and being yourself regardless of what other people may think. I'm sure that I may not agree with everything he says, but I can respect the man for being honest about shit and telling everyone else to " fuck off if you don't like me, I don't care@" .. so yeah, I respect that!
Dude this is a great format for the year.....Any allegations, give them a platform to speak If they choose. You're stepping it up Rock Feed....Looking forward to this year with you.
The older I get the more I realise that everyone makes mistakes, everyone does and says dumb stuff, understanding and forgiveness is so important. That being said there is a point of no return or an amount of bad deeds that you can't make excuses for, I get that. We're all human beings. We can all have a conversation. You've done the right thing asking Alex and having him explain his side of things.
I think it's absolutely great that Alex took the time to address these allegations if they're that at all I mean these are these are just comments from some f****** really sad lonely person who has nothing else better to do besides Target somebody for their Fame because it in retrospect the person that's that's really the person that's hurting the most. I've always been a huge fan of slaughter to prevail and I'm really happy to see that Alex was very open and he took the time to talk about his past and some of the dumb decisions that he made in his younger years which I'm sure we could all kudos to you and thanks for keeping it heavy
I am a 19-year-old Lesbian from the States, and on behalf of the LGBT+ community, I likely will be the first to openly admit that our community have our fair share of our own issues. We are sensitive because we've just been hurt so much during our shared history, and most of us choose to put up barriers and claim we are better, but in doing so, we set ourselves apart from the very society we want to accept us. But that's the thing, it's history. Alex is on point! We can feel bad about the shamful things (all of) society does and has done, but its up to us to accept it, learn from it, and move forward collectively. "Collectively," key word! Not just the Fascists and the Right-Wing, but all of Humanity; including the LGBT+ Community! We can't take anything for granted, life is way too short for that, and people are fallible. We just have to learn, grow, and go with the flow, (It rhymes, so you know it's good advice!) And repeat it all again. We cannot be better unless we choose to be better... In all aspects. People from all walks of life could learn from this man.
As a gay male from the U.K. I 1000% agree, I’ve been saying for years, there are so many issues within our community that refused to get addressed and it’s frustrating, to the point where a lot of us get away with the very thing we claim to be against which is hatred
Honestly once rock, punk, metal has turned into Twitter bs is when it truly died. Sadly, this is obvious with the modern fandom and modern culture in the scene (as someone who's here for very long time so i notice a big difference). This wasn't as prominent even 12 years ago.
Had an old coworker who was a of indigenous decent and had a swatstika (manji) tattoo under his eye. Was hard to get a job for him and he was banned off all social media if he posted his face. I remember him saying one phrase that has always stuck with me and that was “20 years of white history doesn’t erase centuries of mine.”
Anyone can tell that Alex Terrible is one of the nicest guys ever. Even willing to do things like this, just saying yes to being interviewed over video chat for a RUclips video. Which mainstream musicians do you know who would do that as fast as Alex and do it as good?
I already liked Alex. This just makes me like him more. All these haters are probably really young to not have made stupid mistakes, or older people too cowardly to own up to theirs and are projecting on people like Alex. We are humans, we make mistakes, but we learn from them and grow as people. Sounds like the twitter freaks haven't done much growing or learning. Kudos to Rockfeed for getting Alex's side, and Kudos to Alex for being such an awesome person
All these haters acting like they've never made a mistake or two in their life. Alex is a stand up guy, and I thank Rock Feed for doing the right thing by going straight to the horses mouth.
Dude, that's super cool that you got Alex to share his side of the story. It would be awesome if you could get more artists "on" the show in one way or another, even if it's just an email exchange or something like that. Keep on keeping it real fam, love the channel, love what you're doing \m/ \m/
Pathetic hyper sensitive people have nothing better to do than try to cancel people that are succeeding in life more than themselves. Keyboard warriors have nothing better to do. Alex is a good person, people make mistakes. It’s what makes us human.
This is growth. Instead of trying to ruin someone's life due to past mistakes, look at yourself and realize that we have chosen bad things in the past. Like Joey Swole says "do better". Alex has chosen to do better. Good on him.
Just saw them in London. The man did a speech about improving the world with kindness and taking responsibility for your actions. Everyone does dumb stuff as a kid, now he is an adult spreading positivity and creating amazing music. Some people just love to hate.
to all the ppl trying to come at this dude rn for this. I bet you have said/done something in the past you wish you didn't, ppl grow and change over time so do plz learn the facts before you start typing away all the hate you breed on social media.
I can relate with Alex. I've been at both sides of the political debate. I never went too far either side. But I have come to realise if society need to be civil honest and respectful. Being center is best
Thank you for giving him a platform to respond. I respect him for sharing his past & admitting his mistakes. People who preach tolerance are often the most unforgiving & unwilling to allow people to grow & change, which is is ironic to me.
Alex might be Satan, but definitely not a nazi. And Satan doesn't discriminate against anybody. Lol! Seriously though, I used to draw pentagrams on my notebooks at school, but never worshipped the devil. I was a kid and didn't care what people thought.
I can understand Alex went down a dumb ass road, everybody makes mistakes, it's not the end of the world. Most won't belive him, those people don't matter. I met Alex and the band when they came through PA and he is one of the funniest, genuine guys, who is definetly not afraid to speak his mind. Haters are gonna hate, he needs to ignore all that, he owes none of us an apology and for the people who won't understand and want to hate, you don't matter.
Awesome stuff dude, credit to you for giving his this opportunity to tell his side of the story, and credit to him for being honest and humble enough to tell the truth and admit he made mistakes
We all do things we're not proud of, and Twitter is the WORST place in the world to get a decent assessment of whether or not you're doing the right thing in life. Fuck those assholes. Alex kicks ass! Rockfeed kicks ass! Y'all keep being badasses! 💖🤘🏻💖
Dont deny a person's path or chance at redemption, those with good intentions and good hearts seek to reedeem themselves of their faults and mistakes. if you follow a path to right your wrongs and educate yourself is one of good and positivity. Many people deserve a chance at redemption. If we could change every real nazi or neo-nazi racist fascist and hateful hearted persons ideology to a more positive and accepting and loving one of unity and peace, wouldnt that be the best and most caring and wise path? Be kind and Peace to you all, Rock on.. 🤘
I agree. Otherwise, he will have to apologize and justify himself every time for the 'ghosts' of the long-forgotten past. There will always be people who ask and remind him about it.
Even if that were true, you cannot force someone to believe what you believe, even if what they believe is offensive to you. I hate nazis but if it's true then that's his choice. He is saying he isn't but even if it was true, ITS HIS RIGHT TO BELIEVE WHATEVER THE F HE BELIEVES. you cannot force everyone to like everyone for whatever they are or believe, that's insane. Enough of this crap. You either like him and or his music or you don't.
I don’t listen to them as a band ..I’m not into the hard screaming but mad respect for this guy .Hes honest and seems like a real genuine dude ..He cares about his fans too .If they were playing at a festival and I was there I would go watch them for sure …good interview.
Sounds good to me! I Had a very similar journey to Alex. After going through severe addiction you are looking for any person or group or thing to just grasp to hopefully take yourself in a better direction. Alex is a true king and all those who want to sit behind their computers, clutch their pearls, and act like they are the arbiters of all morality should look at their own mistakes and ask themselves where their lives would be if they were condemned for their own shortcomings or should they themselves be given a chance to overcome.
I saw them last night opening for Manson. Alex was inspirational kind and so beyond grateful to be playing in the US. It was touching, i had no idea who they were prior. Again, he was so beyond grateful. It was a nice change of pace in comparison to the ego parade that is often prominent on the stages.
Oh no!!! He didn't convince you!!? Oh God no!!! Whatever will he do?!! Oh God!!! His career is over!!!! Ooohhhh!!! He deserves it because he made a mistake at some point in his life!!! Oh jeeez!!! Oh man!!! Cause nobody makes mistakes these days so it's all over!!! Ohhh the humanity!!! Hey Alex!! It's time to pack your belongings and cancel all your shows because you didn't convince someone in the RUclips comments section!!! Yeah man they're not convinced!!! Sorry Alex! They did watch the clip where you denied it but they didn't find it convincing!!! I'm so sorry Alex!!! You're whole life is over now Alex because people aren't allowed to be young and dumb and make stupid mistakes so that they can learn from them and grow to become a better person!!! Ohhhh!!!! Why!!!? Why!!!? wwhhhyyyyyyyyyy!!??
Saw him in Birmingham UK on Saturday. Geezer is a good guy. Preaches self betterment and generally being a better person. That's what his message is, he even made a speech from the stage about it. He's a good dude.
Alex made the mistake of defending children. The alphabet mafia can’t stand that action. So they’re going to look deeply in his past for anything like that tattoo. Alex seems incredibly real. He owns his mistakes and doesn’t back down from defending his beliefs
2 things 1) He admitted to covering it up because of fear for getting cancelled rather than admitting its a terrible thing... also smiles and laughs this entire time 2) This is a serious video, having him do his plugs at the end is in poor taste, imo Love the channel and everything you do, but this ain't it...
He also said that he had that mindset because he was a stupid kid. Just like everyone, he’s grown and changed. He doesn’t have it anymore so who tf cares?
Did you actually listen correctly? He said he DIDNT cover it up because of being cancelled. He said when he got older he realized it was a stupid decision and said he could understand why people would react that way to it
@@TheRealEricMitchell I care because there's a reason he doesn't have it anymore and that reason is the wrong one He also said he was 19-20 and then went on to defend the guys he was hanging out with There's a language barrier, so he obviously could have been trying to say something else and didn't come out right, but I can only judge the words he actually did say
@@Valisthean That's literally not what he said... he said "I got it covered up because I thought I was getting cancelled"... legit, word for word what he said.... he also did admit to being stupid, but he did not say that was why he got it covered up
Slaughter is one of the best bands, I’m glad I’ve found them while Alex is still young. I believe Alex is a kind soul and has no hate in his heart for any specific group of people
Much respect for giving the dude a chance to tell his side. You were fair and unbiased
It’s important to me. Thank you!

Do I believe he's s Naz! - no, do I believe he ever really was - not really but do I think he was that stupid young man who was introverted snd just wanted to fit into a group he found himself surrounded by - yes.

Alex is one of the most honest guys I’ve seen in the music scene. I wish more people would be like him. Everyone makes mistakes. Especially when drugs are involved. I’ll always be a fan of Alex and the Slaughter to Prevail guys! Really glad to hear Rock Feed will be doing more videos like this.
Always appreciated his honesty. People are so intolerant of imperfection, mistakes and faults....all of which are so incredibly human. Like, it is impossible to live a life without these things. I just don't understand the moral superiority complex so many people have. Live long enough you'll hurt people and make dumb mistakes too - no one is immune.
The moral superiority complex you speak of.....comes from keyboard warriors getting a little too comfortable with the fact theyre safe in their on homes as they run their mouths. When it comes face to face, those same people will 9/10 times say nothing at all. Its a very f*cked up dynamic. I think If you say something you should have to stand by it.....People have gotten in this habit of saying sh*t that in most cases in real life would likely get someone k*lled or at the very least their jaw re-worked.
Everything I've seen of Alex online with his personality and his views on the world, he seems like a really nice and open minded guy. Consistently enough that I believe it's genuine. Hope all the best for him in his success long term. Like he said, the bigger you get the more haters you get
My sister and I are the reason for a man denouncing his previous hateful beliefs. My mother grew up with him and like many people in Texas back in the day he fell into a bad crowd. Then my mother had my sister who was mixed race and then she had me who's part Jewish. He changed because of how close he was with my mom. He loves me and my sister just like his own daughters. People can change and they have a right to change.
Girl I understand wanting to be relevant but you're not making any sense. Dude's Russian and he just said how and why he changed
@@stellak.6095 Where you not able to read the whole thing? It was only 6 sentences. Anyway I'll sum it up for you since you seem to be having a hard time. "People can change and they have a right to change." Basically don't judge people for their past.
Sounds pretty gay
@@Miss_Kisa94 Oh I was, that's why I said what I said
@@stellak.6095 so what are you even on about if the man denounced his old ways?
there are a lot of people on the earth that get sith the wrong crowd and then leave because they open their eyes to how hateful it is. See The Westboro Baptist Church and folks that got out of it...
What?! This is gettin so stupid. I'm glad I don't use social media like these no lives. Alex is awesome. Keep rockin bro 🤘.
Alex is so kind, he’s like all of us, we fall into a situation, we’re picked up while weak, we say or do things to feel better… but in the end it is the strong that make it out and Alex is one of them! I’ll personally never judge you on your bad past or decisions as long as you have moved on to be better 😊 much love Alex! You had a rough road, glad you got to a better path, we all can learn from you
This is amazing. We all have made mistakes when we were young, and they made us who we are.
Nothing but respect for this sincerely genuine human being. Who hasn't made a decision that later came back to bite you in the ass? I wish more people were as honest, open and as Alex. I like his attitude.
Those who follow him know he's spoke on this, covered those nasty ink. He was a dumb young man, living in a different culture that you can't understand unless you've lived it. I too was a dumb young man, but we grow, or try to be a better person. He's trying i think.
I was going to mention that. It was a pretty powerful video and he really does how human he is. People hate him just to hate him but he's a really great person.

Okay. So do you accept that jihadists can also be de-radicalised and would you also br as accepting then? 🤔
@@diabolikalm
Idk ask them, I'm not talking about a person I've no clue about, and their sin way out number what Alex was about. Its like apples and oranges you can't compare Alex to what they do. They kill innocents, you saying Alex has ever done that. Apples and oranges my guy.
Genuinely one of the most humble men to ever exist. Done a lot of stupid things in his life and owns up to it, recognises that what we she was wrong and grows as a person.
You'd be hard pressed to find another guy at willing to admit his mistakes
Hes doesnt regret it, said so himself
@@straightfiremetalstraightfirem You dont have to regret to learn. Regrets are for people that dont accept their choices and grow. Regret will hold you back if you let it. Accept and move on. F*ck regrets.
if he wasnt in the bad group , he would probably learn that the stuff they are teaching is lies and shit , you are basically trying to say that his 18-20s learning and experiencing various stuff is meaningless , but its not @@straightfiremetalstraightfirem
who cares, get a life.@@straightfiremetalstraightfirem
@@straightfiremetalstraightfirem listen to the rest of the sentence bruh
"When Alex was 4yrs old, he kicked a dandelion 🌸" 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lol, seriously. It's getting ridiculous.
I don't blame dandelions are the worst kind of flower, spreading the filth everywhere 😂
Thanks for having Alex on to speak for himself.
I had a tattoo that I regretted deeply, but now I have an incredible cover up and a better heart. God bless you and Alex for doing this! 🙏
Dude, Alex is a Russian who grew up in a completely different culture than most Americans!
The dude has been getting hammered in the media a lot recently and he has consistently been defending himself and what he believes in.
Unfortunately Germany took a lot of symbolisms and completely destroyed it. Talking from a historical perspective and nothing else.
I personally support the guy because he stands up for individualism and being yourself regardless of what other people may think. I'm sure that I may not agree with everything he says, but I can respect the man for being honest about shit and telling everyone else to " fuck off if you don't like me, I don't care@" .. so yeah, I respect that!
Dude this is a great format for the year.....Any allegations, give them a platform to speak If they choose. You're stepping it up Rock Feed....Looking forward to this year with you.
The older I get the more I realise that everyone makes mistakes, everyone does and says dumb stuff, understanding and forgiveness is so important. That being said there is a point of no return or an amount of bad deeds that you can't make excuses for, I get that. We're all human beings. We can all have a conversation. You've done the right thing asking Alex and having him explain his side of things.
I think it's absolutely great that Alex took the time to address these allegations if they're that at all I mean these are these are just comments from some f****** really sad lonely person who has nothing else better to do besides Target somebody for their Fame because it in retrospect the person that's that's really the person that's hurting the most. I've always been a huge fan of slaughter to prevail and I'm really happy to see that Alex was very open and he took the time to talk about his past and some of the dumb decisions that he made in his younger years which I'm sure we could all kudos to you and thanks for keeping it heavy
I am a 19-year-old Lesbian from the States, and on behalf of the LGBT+ community, I likely will be the first to openly admit that our community have our fair share of our own issues. We are sensitive because we've just been hurt so much during our shared history, and most of us choose to put up barriers and claim we are better, but in doing so, we set ourselves apart from the very society we want to accept us.
But that's the thing, it's history. Alex is on point! We can feel bad about the shamful things (all of) society does and has done, but its up to us to accept it, learn from it, and move forward collectively.
"Collectively," key word! Not just the Fascists and the Right-Wing, but all of Humanity; including the LGBT+ Community! We can't take anything for granted, life is way too short for that, and people are fallible. We just have to learn, grow, and go with the flow, (It rhymes, so you know it's good advice!) And repeat it all again.
We cannot be better unless we choose to be better... In all aspects. People from all walks of life could learn from this man.
As a gay male from the U.K. I 1000% agree, I’ve been saying for years, there are so many issues within our community that refused to get addressed and it’s frustrating, to the point where a lot of us get away with the very thing we claim to be against which is hatred
Alex is still the man… The hell with the hater’s 👊
The irony is, the overwhelming majority of those labelling him a “nazi” are in fact expressing antisemitic notions themselves.
You can just tell how sincere he is, bro isn't hiding anything.
alex is a legend
Hearing Alex say he is an introverted person shocked me, but it does make me feel better about being introverted as well, great video as always
Really like the new studio set up! 🤘
Honestly once rock, punk, metal has turned into Twitter bs is when it truly died. Sadly, this is obvious with the modern fandom and modern culture in the scene (as someone who's here for very long time so i notice a big difference). This wasn't as prominent even 12 years ago.
The way he speaks he so open, i believe him!
Alex MUST prove he’s not a racist by doing a song with me 😂
Had an old coworker who was a of indigenous decent and had a swatstika (manji) tattoo under his eye. Was hard to get a job for him and he was banned off all social media if he posted his face. I remember him saying one phrase that has always stuck with me and that was “20 years of white history doesn’t erase centuries of mine.”
The manji is a symbol of peace and love. People are just uneducated and quick to jump to conclusions rather than ask questions.
Ok, but that doesn't apply Alex because because he got it in virtue of it being a nazi symbol.
Anyone can tell that Alex Terrible is one of the nicest guys ever. Even willing to do things like this, just saying yes to being interviewed over video chat for a RUclips video. Which mainstream musicians do you know who would do that as fast as Alex and do it as good?
Ronnie Radke is spot on.
The same people whining about the cover, unironically support hamas.
I already liked Alex. This just makes me like him more. All these haters are probably really young to not have made stupid mistakes, or older people too cowardly to own up to theirs and are projecting on people like Alex. We are humans, we make mistakes, but we learn from them and grow as people. Sounds like the twitter freaks haven't done much growing or learning.
Kudos to Rockfeed for getting Alex's side, and Kudos to Alex for being such an awesome person
Ronnie radke is becoming the new Corey Taylor, has to get his opinion on everything out there publicly
Don't do Corey like that.
@@thelittleblackhairgirl9669nah
His X comment in this video was hilarious though because probably true.
Lmao not eeeeven
yeh just another emo with A.D.D and a big mouth
All these haters acting like they've never made a mistake or two in their life. Alex is a stand up guy, and I thank Rock Feed for doing the right thing by going straight to the horses mouth.
"do you have a secret agenda?" "no" "okay"
man this is certainly one of the interviews of all time
Dude, that's super cool that you got Alex to share his side of the story. It would be awesome if you could get more artists "on" the show in one way or another, even if it's just an email exchange or something like that. Keep on keeping it real fam, love the channel, love what you're doing \m/ \m/
Of topic, I'd would love to see Alex Terrible fight Ronnie Radke. 😂😂
BRUH. 😂that would be a crazy two seconds. 😂
also, i am a fan of both artists (more of an AT/STP fan, though). but Alex would flatten Ronnie like a pancake lol
You can technically see it now in the new Falling in Reverse track 😆
How dare anyone not allow someone to learn from their mistakes
What did he do that’s “sooo bad” now
Pathetic hyper sensitive people have nothing better to do than try to cancel people that are succeeding in life more than themselves. Keyboard warriors have nothing better to do. Alex is a good person, people make mistakes. It’s what makes us human.
I swear people love to act like they've never made a mistake in their life.
pretty coincidental he moves to murica and starts getting these allegations, seems like a murica thing to do.
you know you're a fuck up when ronnie radke has your back
This is growth. Instead of trying to ruin someone's life due to past mistakes, look at yourself and realize that we have chosen bad things in the past. Like Joey Swole says "do better". Alex has chosen to do better. Good on him.
I second that. Proud of Alex.
So many whimps on X complaining, like grow up
I never realised he was such a smiley, happy guy.
Саня крутой! Due to the war right now, I disagree with him. But he is the person to look up to. Great perso n.
Just saw them in London. The man did a speech about improving the world with kindness and taking responsibility for your actions. Everyone does dumb stuff as a kid, now he is an adult spreading positivity and creating amazing music. Some people just love to hate.
to all the ppl trying to come at this dude rn for this.
I bet you have said/done something in the past you wish you didn't, ppl grow and change over time so do plz learn the facts before you start typing away all the hate you breed on social media.
I can relate with Alex. I've been at both sides of the political debate. I never went too far either side. But I have come to realise if society need to be civil honest and respectful. Being center is best
Much respect for Alex.
Oh my word Ronnie's response is absolutely mint.
This is simple, haters gonna hate.
Thank you for giving him a platform to respond. I respect him for sharing his past & admitting his mistakes. People who preach tolerance are often the most unforgiving & unwilling to allow people to grow & change, which is is ironic to me.
There is no such thing as hate speech. It’s subjective.
Alex might be Satan, but definitely not a nazi. And Satan doesn't discriminate against anybody. Lol! Seriously though, I used to draw pentagrams on my notebooks at school, but never worshipped the devil. I was a kid and didn't care what people thought.
Don’t often leave comments but after this video it’s well deserved. Fair play giving Alex the platform to put his side across.
alex literally made a video about this like a month or two ago. he already explained these things.
I can understand Alex went down a dumb ass road, everybody makes mistakes, it's not the end of the world. Most won't belive him, those people don't matter. I met Alex and the band when they came through PA and he is one of the funniest, genuine guys, who is definetly not afraid to speak his mind. Haters are gonna hate, he needs to ignore all that, he owes none of us an apology and for the people who won't understand and want to hate, you don't matter.
Awesome stuff dude, credit to you for giving his this opportunity to tell his side of the story, and credit to him for being honest and humble enough to tell the truth and admit he made mistakes
We all do things we're not proud of, and Twitter is the WORST place in the world to get a decent assessment of whether or not you're doing the right thing in life. Fuck those assholes. Alex kicks ass! Rockfeed kicks ass! Y'all keep being badasses!
💖🤘🏻💖
1st mistake is listening to whatever Twitter has to say on any subject. Wretched people on that platform.
People are so damn stupid these days
Much respect for making this interview happen and for Alex to do the interview. Awesome to see some genuine human interaction.
Dont deny a person's path or chance at redemption, those with good intentions and good hearts seek to reedeem themselves of their faults and mistakes.
if you follow a path to right your wrongs and educate yourself is one of good and positivity.
Many people deserve a chance at redemption.
If we could change every real nazi or neo-nazi racist fascist and hateful hearted persons ideology to a more positive and accepting and loving one of unity and peace, wouldnt that be the best and most caring and wise path?
Be kind and Peace to you all, Rock on.. 🤘
What is the point of being sorry if there is no chance of forgiveness. More power to you Alex.
I agree. Otherwise, he will have to apologize and justify himself every time for the 'ghosts' of the long-forgotten past. There will always be people who ask and remind him about it.
Even if that were true, you cannot force someone to believe what you believe, even if what they believe is offensive to you. I hate nazis but if it's true then that's his choice. He is saying he isn't but even if it was true, ITS HIS RIGHT TO BELIEVE WHATEVER THE F HE BELIEVES. you cannot force everyone to like everyone for whatever they are or believe, that's insane. Enough of this crap. You either like him and or his music or you don't.
I don’t listen to them as a band ..I’m not into the hard screaming but mad respect for this guy .Hes honest and seems like a real genuine dude ..He cares about his fans too .If they were playing at a festival and I was there I would go watch them for sure …good interview.
Woke America doing woke America things. So fckn annoying!
Godam bs woke trend fed by the bs corporate government on MSM ..they eat that shit up like the memes and text they post.

Dude for real, wtf… woke bs is annoying
@@smallcorvid go to bed
Shadow ban comment I see
Love the new background, first time I see it. Thanks for the news!
Don't fall for all this BS. Just some young, lefty writers.
Sounds good to me! I Had a very similar journey to Alex. After going through severe addiction you are looking for any person or group or thing to just grasp to hopefully take yourself in a better direction. Alex is a true king and all those who want to sit behind their computers, clutch their pearls, and act like they are the arbiters of all morality should look at their own mistakes and ask themselves where their lives would be if they were condemned for their own shortcomings or should they themselves be given a chance to overcome.
Absolute legend right here, nothing more needs to be said, love Alex!
Legend of garbage music.
@@gettinbucked42069 interesting opinion, but nothing more than that. Have a good day kid!
I saw them last night opening for Manson. Alex was inspirational kind and so beyond grateful to be playing in the US. It was touching, i had no idea who they were prior. Again, he was so beyond grateful. It was a nice change of pace in comparison to the ego parade that is often prominent on the stages.
He's a liar, I saw him on video beating up a black bear.
If it was a polar bear
none of this would be happening!
Revolver has gone down over the years. I don’t trust them anymore
New studio is 🔥🔥
That was not very convincing.
Neither are the claims against him.
Oh no!!! He didn't convince you!!? Oh God no!!! Whatever will he do?!! Oh God!!! His career is over!!!! Ooohhhh!!! He deserves it because he made a mistake at some point in his life!!! Oh jeeez!!! Oh man!!! Cause nobody makes mistakes these days so it's all over!!! Ohhh the humanity!!! Hey Alex!! It's time to pack your belongings and cancel all your shows because you didn't convince someone in the RUclips comments section!!! Yeah man they're not convinced!!! Sorry Alex! They did watch the clip where you denied it but they didn't find it convincing!!! I'm so sorry Alex!!! You're whole life is over now Alex because people aren't allowed to be young and dumb and make stupid mistakes so that they can learn from them and grow to become a better person!!! Ohhhh!!!! Why!!!? Why!!!? wwhhhyyyyyyyyyy!!??
The band is called Slaughter To Prevail'
@@spirit_gun3869 right
Saw him in Birmingham UK on Saturday. Geezer is a good guy. Preaches self betterment and generally being a better person. That's what his message is, he even made a speech from the stage about it. He's a good dude.
I was there too I have to say it was an excellent speech. 😊
@ellismorpus-connery5488 brilliant gig I thought weren't it mate! Shame they only played for an hour.
@@Simon53188 it was absolutely fantastic like mate! And yea would've been nice if it was a bit longer.
Alex made the mistake of defending children. The alphabet mafia can’t stand that action. So they’re going to look deeply in his past for anything like that tattoo. Alex seems incredibly real. He owns his mistakes and doesn’t back down from defending his beliefs
Nice new setup, great interview with Alex. Continue to grow!
2 things
1) He admitted to covering it up because of fear for getting cancelled rather than admitting its a terrible thing... also smiles and laughs this entire time
2) This is a serious video, having him do his plugs at the end is in poor taste, imo
Love the channel and everything you do, but this ain't it...
He also said that he had that mindset because he was a stupid kid. Just like everyone, he’s grown and changed. He doesn’t have it anymore so who tf cares?
Did you actually listen correctly? He said he DIDNT cover it up because of being cancelled. He said when he got older he realized it was a stupid decision and said he could understand why people would react that way to it
@@TheRealEricMitchell I care because there's a reason he doesn't have it anymore and that reason is the wrong one
He also said he was 19-20 and then went on to defend the guys he was hanging out with
There's a language barrier, so he obviously could have been trying to say something else and didn't come out right, but I can only judge the words he actually did say
@@Valisthean That's literally not what he said... he said "I got it covered up because I thought I was getting cancelled"... legit, word for word what he said.... he also did admit to being stupid, but he did not say that was why he got it covered up
@@Valisthean 5:50 - 6:10 .... listen again
Slaughter is one of the best bands, I’m glad I’ve found them while Alex is still young. I believe Alex is a kind soul and has no hate in his heart for any specific group of people
Now I'm about to order the stupid fucken mask to support this band
