Falling In Reverse vocalist Ronnie Radke has set his sights on another hair band, this time going after long-running glam metal outfit L.A. Guns. Much like his past feud with Sebastian Bach, this latest beef appears to stem from bands who use laptops/backing tracks to flesh out their live performances.
Not to be confused with lip-syncing, Radke‘s argument in the past has hinged around the likes of digital, orchestral, etc. sound elements being piped in via a laptop. The whole controversy with Falling In Reverse and laptops emerged last year after the platinum-certified alternative metal band were forced to cancel a live show due to having misplaced a laptop crucial to their performance.
A comment made onstage during a live performance by L.A. Guns vocalist Phil Lewis appears to have triggered Radke for this most recent beef. While not directly targeted, Lewis, took some time to address the audience from the stage, offering:
“…We’re L.A. Guns, how ya doing tonight? How is the sound out there, alright? We do have a bit of bad news unfortunately. Our digital feed and our laptop broke down at soundcheck this afternoon, so we’re gonna have to play the whole set completely 100% live. You’re OK with that, right?”
Radke reposted said clip yesterday, October 05th, and commented at L.A. Guns as follows:
“@laguns who in the fuck is this dude to say anything about relying on laptops being used when he relies on a fucking WIG and a pound of makeup and dyed eyebrows to reassure he doesn’t look 75 years old, dude really thinks anyone other than the methheads in that crowd agree”
“@laguns my entire band literally destroys you in technicality, performance and pitch, the only thing your geriatric asses are better at are filling up syringes and nodding off in motel 6’s on your dive bar tour. please refrain from speaking on things you don’t understand, you need your adult diapers changed.”
L.A. Guns don’t appear to have replied to Radke on the matter.
