Never hurt someone like Ronnie, people like him just don't deserve it. You can clearly see the love for maxwell in his eyes. He was his little brother. Imagine the heartbreak it caused him when max turned his back on him.
wow, this is so crazy & emotional for me. i've been a fan of etf since the beginning, watching both their drug struggles. i'm so glad to see things like this for them. so so happy.
Max green is the guy sitting next to Ronnie in this video. He was the bassist in the band Escape the fate, but he left about a year or two ago. Max and Ronnie are best friends.
Man, no offense, but some of the descriptions are freakin' funny. Could make a hang over type movie about it. Anyways, glad you guys are back as friends.
I love seeing them like this :) this is so cute I missed this so much... and Max is normal and sober again this is perfect *.* and this made me remember why I liked Ronnie in the first place talking about everything and not only himself :3
Just got out of treatment 13 days ago was there for 4 months and thought I would be that loner loser if I sobered up but if Ronnie can do it so can I :'D
This is such an incredible interview. It's truly awesome to see two rock-stars speaking the truth about drugs and addiction instead of fueling the main-stream notion about how cool and great it all is. As an addict myself, this really spoke to me...Especially since I am about to go into rehab early next week. I'd really like to thank these two dudes for sharing their experiences and helping influence me to finally seek proper treatment. Absolutely fucking rock-n-roll right there guys. Thank you so much!!!! \m/
802blues Thx for the support man! I just got out of rehab about a week ago and I'm feelin' great. I'm so incredibly lucky to have had such an amazing program to go to. I can relate to a lot of what you said, and I'm just taking it all one day at a time. Thx again for the support man. \m/
Hoping you’re still doing well so many years later. I’m on that journey myself (have for 4 years now) and Ronnie’s music and story has definitely helped me deal with a lot of the stuff in my head and stay on track
you can tell just how deep he knows he hurt Ronnie. side note: its refreshing to see the real Ronnie outside the music world. a solid look at who Ronnie is on the inside
Would anyone argue if I said that max is one of the most gorgeous bass players I've ever seen? Well, he is! So those who disagree you're all entitled to your opinions put it that way, and I'm more than happy to welcome anyone who does agree into my corner. Much love to ya, max.
because of you and your music Ronnie Radke I took my last hydro-morphone contin sept 15. I've been doing perscription pain killers (mostly oxys) since 2004. after several overdoses, and getting fired and burning bridges, and a few attempted suicides i hit rock bottom. living in a hole of a house. It was your music that gave me the gull to chose life over death. My names Matthew and I thank you.
In all honesty, I'm not gonna lie...But these two amazing guys, saved me from going down that path. I first listened to ETF a couple years back. My friend suggest I would, cause she thought I would like them. I said "Okay, cool." Completely forgot about it. After that, I fell into a dark dark state of depression. I mean, anywhere I went, I'd think of how I can kill myself. If I was walking near a bridge, I'd picture myself, jumping off the edge. If I was in a car, and it was going down a busy highway, I'd imagine unbuckling my seatbelt, and jumping out while it's moving, and hoped to get hit dead on by a semi. I was in such a dark place, I started making everyone else around me, depressed. One of my friends blamed me for it, and even my own brother blamed me for it. It made me feel like such a burden on everyone, I wanted to just cry and not move for days. I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep, I wasn't me. Everyone around me tells me that I make them smile because of my personality. But I have depression that I got from my dad, and he has to take a lot of pills to keep him under control. I stopped talking to my friends, some of them turned on me and started bullying me...I felt worthless. Then I started self harming. I stopped eating, I'd go without drinking anything so I can dehydrate myself, I started cutting, I'd rip and tear at my skin until I bled. I blamed myself for everything. Then I started imagining how I would feel if I got drunk or got high. I figured it could take my pain away. I thought about stealing pills from my parents and drinking some of the alcohol we have in our house. Hell, I even thought about mixing and getting crazy, but I was too much of a coward to do it. Even though I didn't give a shit, and knew no one cared...I couldn't do it. Then I remembered my friend telling me about ETF. I went on RU-vid and watched Situations. I sat and watched the whole song and thought 'Whoa, these guys are cool'. Then I watched The Flood, Ungrateful, etc. then I noticed at one point that Ronnie wasn't the singer. I looked on Google to see what was up, and found out he went to jail for a drug violation and also found out he was a suspect in the murder of and 18 year old kid. He was there when the kid died, but everyone accused him of doing it. The kid died in a shoot out, and fans immediately hated on him. Then I found FIR. I was so happy that Ronnie was back and that he was serious about changing, it made me cry. And watching this, made me cry. Max couldn't look at Ronnie, cause he was so ashamed of himself. I owe these two my life and I'm eternally grateful for them. They're gonna be at Warped on July 31st, and I get to go. I hope I can meet them, so I can tell them that they saved me. So before anyone judges them, just don't say anything. They've gone through hell and are learning from they're mistakes. I love Ronnie and Max, and I'm so glad they're clean
Can all you people do is hate on people now? They're getting better and the past is the past. Get over it! Man, they're admitting their past mistakes and trying to make up for them. Some of you people just can't get over the past. Leave them alone and let them live life as sober people and stop hating on them. And stop saying 'they're douches' and everything else. They seem like really nice people, and people can be pretty mean and rude at interviews like this. But they're weren't. So instead of hating on them, support them. If you don't like them, don't listen to their music or click on these interviews, it's that simple.
This made me so happy, I almost cried! I love how proud of Max Ronnie is. He's like a proud mom showing off her son "Show him your keys!" Lol I love this so much
I am sober since 9 months now. I had a drugpast over 4 years ago. I'm 22 now. I've got homeless in 2019... In 2018 my father and my uncle past away at the same Year but different months.... Uncle got shot down in NY, BRONX... My father got cancer (i am German-Jamaican) it was terrible. I though that drugs could save me. But now i have a clearer mind as before... It's one of the best feelings beeing sober. That's why i see RONNIE & MAX as my Idols. They're music always saved me over the years... And now i learn to let my addiction go and have a better life. Thx to those both Fighters 😭🌹🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Omg I’m watching this in 2020 and this is bringing so much joy to me. I remember them breaking up and Ronnie going to jail. Max leaving ETF. I’m so so so happy they are doing better, I am going to look more into it.
