Falling In Reverse frontman Ronnie Radke took issue with an audience member holding up a ‘Fuck Ronnie Radke‘ shirt during the band’s set at this past weekend’s ‘Blue Ridge Rock Festival‘ in Danville, VA. Speaking from the stage amid a break in his band’s set, Radke addressed the individual as such:
“Where’s the guy with the ‘Fuck Ronnie Radke’ shirt? I noticed that he saw me and then he pulled it down. You do not want the fucking smoke homie, I will beat your fucking ass. This is not Twitter, I’ll beat your fucking ass.
How old are you? Bro, you’re like fucking 40, in the front row with a self-made ‘fuck Ronnie Radke’ shirt? You are not married. You’re not married.
Listen man, I’ve got my 8-year-old daughter standing right there… Have some respect for you, us, yourself and everybody else man. It’s disrespectful. What’s your problem? You got a problem with me? I don’t even know who you are. How am I piece of shit? You don’t even know me homie. You don’t know me. You’re a bitch, fuck you and your homie.
I’m not a piece of shit, I’m a good motherfucker. I’m a good dude. You’re a misled motherfucker and you’re too old to be here doing that shit. You should be fucking ashamed of yourself man. You should be ashamed of yourself man. For real, man.
You stand up to motherfuckers like this. I’ve beat up people twice your size. I’ve beat up people like you on his shoulders. I’m not playing with you. And if I won’t do it my dad’s biker gang will, homeboy. You think I’m fucking playing? Fuck you.
People try to test me. This is the reason I went to jail because of like him. I go to therapy to control my anger toward for people like this, man. That’s what you guys need to do to… I’m sorry, I don’t let it slide bro, I have an issue with anger. But if I’m being disrespected I get real fucking heated bro. I’ll give you a fucking heart attack homie. I’m serious, you know it too. I’m looking in both of your guys’ eyes. You fucking cyclops looking motherfucker, fuck you.
Come onstage, I’ll fuck you up. I’m not playing with you….
Since footage of Radke‘s outburst, he took to his Twitter to comment on the matter:
“My daddies biker gang will beat you up”
“I love how there’s an entire mob of people that virtue signal on how an ex felon leader singer should react on stage to someone in the front row holding up a fuck ronnie radke shirt while my 8 year old daughter sits on stage and watches. if they were kids I would’ve ignored it..”
“but they were in their 40’s, people have zero idea what it’s like to be on stage and see an immediate threat to you or your family standing in front of you, adrenaline is already high “ronnie should’ve just laughed it off” the fuck you mean?”
“ya’ll all complain about people being too safe in music until Shit gets unsafe then you virtue signal on how unpredictable rockstars should be better humans and conduct themselves, maybe you should take your own advice with what you post online”
“I will never bend to the pressure of conforming or put on a mask to present myself in a better light for a bunch of people I don’t know, this is who I am, you disrespect me I will swing on you. it is a real issue I have, it’s not a persona, I’m unapologetically myself.”
“With that said, I love my chemical romance .”
