A conversation with Ronnie Radke & Max Green (pt.1): Sobriety

- When we spoke to Falling In Reverse frontman Ronnie Radke in AP 294, he described the previous time he had seen his former Escape The Fate bandmate Max Green:
"He's missing a few teeth. His pants were ripped up; not in a rock 'n' roll way, but like he'd been wearing them for several weeks straight. He's clearly on drugs... I hope he gets sober. There's a place in my heart for him. He will always have that place. I care about him--I don't want him to die."
Now, Max Green, who is newly sober, reconciles with old friend Radke at his home. The two talk about their past drug use, how they met, how they fell out and how they overcame their vices in part one of this three-episode series.

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
my favorite line in this. dont go to la county jail. wait. dont go to jail. if you do go to jail go to idaho jail. thanks ronnie for the advice
how proud ronnie is of max is adorable
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.
Ronnie is a known woman beater.
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.
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/

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/
CmsrL337 you were an addict and now you're in the military?
@@CmsrL337 4 year's later, how is your sobriety still going??????
@Sullivan Cody you wrote this comment four years ago. I hope you're better these days.
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
wow, seeing these guys together and clean is amazing! proud of them both!
InstaBlaster.
Ronnies loyalty and protectiveness towards his friends is really admirable.
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.
THANK YOU Ronnie for giving people who are struggling just the story and strength they need to change their life for the better. Ronnie saves lives.
Matt Comtois How yah doing today, my man? I hope you’re well.
How are you bro? Praying things are still going good and if not it's never too late. Would love an update!
hope all is still well with you brother 🙏🏻♥️
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 😭🌹🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
This is so awesome. I am coming up on 7 years clean. Good for both of them ❤
Congrats 🎉🎊🎈🍾
Pfff thats so boring, whats life without some good dope
I am 9 months sober. Congrats to u girl.... Greetings from germany :3
@@weirdo666- congrats to you, love! That's awesome have almost 8 years now lol. Greetings from the USA
10:18 Max: "Janet....Janet The Horse"
I nearly died lmao XD
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
OMG Ronnie's face when Max is talking about the time him and his girlfriend smuggled drugs from Cali to Florida
rightt he’s in disbelief like “😦whuuut tffff..”
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 UA-cam 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
cool story bro
Cant believe I read that whole thing🤦♂️
Sooooo many years later, at that🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
its true its hard
I’m so sorry I had to go through that :( I hope ure doing well right now
no one knows how fucking happy i am to see them like this again.
I'm happy there in such a good place now, but I have to laugh a little at Ronnie
Ronnie running from car "I got warrants"!!
I died on that part, too xD.
They're
i know i should hate myself for saying this because this video is making me so proud of Max but i can't get over Ronnie! His voice is like killing me!
Owning up to your mistakes is the one of the most respectable things you can do, I love Ronnie
I watch all 3 parts religiously
Dude, this straight up motivates me. To see these two guys together, sober, and joking makes me stoked! Way to go guys!!!
I've watched this interview soo many times and I've cried every time. I'm so proud of them I love them both so much
This interview is so incredible and emotional. Love the rawness. I'm so proud of them.
As a fan to both of them for years im so proud ur both happy n clean thats an amazing thing for anyone so be able to do
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.
The way these 2 are so honest and open is very admirable and amazing! I luv them even more for that!
max-i forgot that chicks name
ronnie-ashley..that was my girlfriend
xD i think i laughed harder then i should have xD
I'm so stoked they're talking again
My band mate is a recovering heroin addict. He completed his classes, and he is doing well. Proud of him, and he could totally relate to the band. He likes these guys. A drug is a drug. It doesn't matter if it's pot, heroin, pills. Stay off the drugs people.
I LOVE THE TURN AROUND THESE GUYS HAVE HAD. honestly ronnies one of my favourite musicians, someone who had his lows really early and turned around and now talks about it. now he's trying to help pick his friends up.
this made me cry omfg i'm so proud of them both for getting sober. seeing them together like this is amazing. I love them so much
Seeing them together doing this interview is just the most amazing thing ever. So happy for Max getting sober and hearing he's doing better. I'm just really happy like words can't explain -3
This makes me so happy. When Ronnie and Max were both at the down points of their lives it just made me think I would end up watching more press conferencces discussing the of another couple of musicians that I loved. It made so sad. Seeing them both sober and talking puts a smile on my face and a happy tear in my eye.
jfc I've seen this so many times and yet I always come back to this
SAME
Oh my good lord this made me cry. I'm so proud of both of them for getting and staying sober.
I'm literally sweating and my heart is pounding becuase of how happy this video makes me.
Max Green: Gets on and off bands more than Kenny gets killed in South Park
But where's the lie
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA YES
I died laughing when Ronnie said "My Dad will gonna see this, sorry Dad!" hahahahaha
It's just so freaking amazing to see that they still have the same bond as before! When ever I am going through a tough time I literally just think of this and it makes me happy and tells me that things do get better. And that some people are just inseparable! Thank you
So proud of both of them! This made me so happy!!!
This gives me hope in friendship. How many times do you see two people meet in high school, make a career together, get addicted to drugs, get separated for a couple years cause one went to jail, get sober and still talk to each other like bestfriends. They've literally have been though thick and thin together. I just really love seeing them like this.
This was the greatest video ever. I'm so immensely proud and happy for Max. Hopefully Ronnie and Max will get back to being super close.
This brung tears to my eyes. Words can't even explain how happy I was to see this. Not only to see these two together but to hear that Max has been sober. I'm proud of you Max
Its such a nostalgic feeling seeing them together. I miss them both so much. I was a fan of their music when I was 13 now 18 and finally I get to see my heroes forget the drugs and the alcohol...they mean the most to me. I'm so glad they are talking warms my heart.
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.
I cried through the whole interview. I love them and have missed them so much. I'm glad they're both sober and talking with each other again.
Cant wait for part 2 of the interview!!!
So happy they're hanging out like that again. It's been too long for those guys. Can't wait for part two!!
I'm super proud of Max! I'm in tears 'cause a friend of mine is going through the same shit. This gave me hope... that he'll recover from this just like Max did.
OMG this was so emotional to see them together again :')
So much love for both these gentlemen
Fan since late '06 & I have to say, this made my day. It's awesome to see them both sober and sitting together, talking and being friends again.
Two minutes into this, and while max is talking, i can see the emotions radke has inside
This makes me extremely happy. I'm so happy for Max. And Ronnie is such a good person.
I am so happy for Ronnie and Max, after all the things and fights they have gone through together and apart, to see them like this is so uplifting. My best friend and I have gone through many arguments and when we resolve our issues, after months and years, it feels amazing, just like this.
Ugh can't wait for pt.2 !!
Max reminds me of Jay from "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back"
I'm so Happy for Max. And I'm glad to see them together again: ')
so happy for them, i'm so glad they r talking again and everything i love these guys i always believed in max
This has made me SO happy, so proud of them both!!
this isn’t about the interview but I’m really loving the portrait behind them 🙃👍🏻
9:38 "I got warrants" made me laugh so hard lmao
Why does this make me want to cry!? 😂 I'm seeing me teenhood infront of me, after so much craziness and crap, and im finally seeing these two guys have a genuine conversation. There is so much love between these guys now and after so much animosity between the bands and the fans, its beautiful to see.
So glad to see them talking and Max sober! Really emotional to see this.
Saw these guys at Warped Tour last night and got to meet Max. Such a nice guy
I saw them both at Warped on July 30th and yes they are both amazing guys. So glad I got to meet them and I'm sad for those who don't or cant but still judge them.
Is anybody else really fixtated on the painting behind them? It's beautiful.
Do you know what it is?
@@victorialeonida3379 what is it?
It makes me beyond happy to see Ronnie and Max sober and talking to each other again. I have waited for this for so long. I am so proud of both of them.
Re watching this interview love both these guys
Happy Birthday Max and Ronnie
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 is so beautiful
I have waited for this for so long. It's amazing :)
I'm 16 years sober, it's still hard sometimes but I just jam out to Fir and then I'm good
Max: and ronnie as like... ha haha HAHAHAHAH I'll be right back..OMG I died!!!
this makes me cry...
it makes me so happy to see them together again
i cant wipe this smile off my face :)
This makes me so happy. I hope Max keeps up the good work!
The key part made me smile so hard and now my cheeks hurt :')
so how many times does Ronnie say, "it's crazy" I swear, all his interviews. lol
this is the best thing ive seen in forever.
Your guys' birthdays are the same date as my mom who passed away a year ago. This has been very inspiring
sometimes Max reminds me so much on Gerard Way!
Great guys,
why do I get a notification of this video when it's already pretty old xd
So happy to see Max sober and these 2 finally together in an interview!!!!
Omf I am so happy to see the two together again. I thought it would never happen... This is the best thing I've seen in a long time. Great job for getting sober Max,
Ronnie looks like he's about to cry 😭
he is crying oh wait thats a tattoo
ha.ha.ha. so funny...
I actually got a little chuckle out of that :D
Hes prolly doped up as fuck
@@williamquantrill9076 lol stfu
Ronnie: I got warrants! *books it*
Me: HAHAHAHHAHAHA
Relatable .... So fucking much
Max looks so much healthier. This video made me really happy. Thanks AP! Good on you guys.
YES GREATEST INTERVIEW EVER!!!
They look like they been thru some shit
Im proud of Max for being sober and I'm proud of Ronnie for growing and maturing. I'm proud of both of them for putting the past behind them :)
How can someone even dislike this video, i mean come on.
Two friends there are like brothers for each other, talking about their good times and bad times, while they look at their past and finally laughing together, after a long "fight" and now they just sit there being proud of each others, and learned from their mistakes.
This is what i call a true friendship!
Soooo good to see them together again!!!!!!
9:37 I'm fucking deaddddddd... Ronnie was like "remember, I ran ?" ... and I was like "I got warrants!" lmao.. Radke a REAL NIGGA!
"I got warrants" lol
I'm so happy for you! Love you guys
this made me cry, this is so great.
8:15 "Ha, Ha, Hah. I'll be right back" XD hahaha
I detoxed off heroin in county. It's fucking terrible.
i dont listen to either band anymore but seeing them together makes me so happy. I remember the trash talking on both ends but this is amazing. I'm so glad they are friends again and are both clean.
Anyone who's known someone with a serious addiction knows how amazing a reunion like this would be
