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.
In the second installment, the two talk about hitting rock bottom, selling their souls to the devil and forgiveness.
Interview By: Ryan J. Downey - Розваги
When Ronnie talks about how Max is a star, about his magnetic presence, and how the bad people in his life were attracted to it and dragged him down, that's so beautiful. The way they talk about one another, they way they look at each other, that's real friendship. That's real love.
He had this view because that his friends and he knows what is capable of, that's understandable he hates those people.
But Max was as lost as them. He's saying himself, he wasn't a good person neither.
No one is above anyone else. Everyone can be a "star" on their own way. Everyone can be a bad influence, even more when you're in a dark place.
I know I'm responding to a comment from a decade ago.
But personally I hated when he said that. It feel like they saw themselves as gods.
This is a side of Ronnie that is so overlooked and underappreciated, and it's kinda sad
I love how Ronnie is a grown man who's like "no bro don't say that my dad will be mad!"
Must’ve been really bad because he just talked about how sold his soul 😂
He told us the story at a meet and greet a few years ago. Hilarious song but he also talks bad about his stepmother and some other disturbing stuff which is why he didn't want anyone to hear it
Ok, drugs are not cool but the whole "ahoy butternuts" thing is fucking hilarious!
+Zane karim did you see when he got the "ahoy butternuts" tattoo he got lol
Zane karim ikr it was hilarious but I was cringing so bad watching it!! omg 😂
8 years sober... Rock bottom is the solid foundation of which I rebuilt my life upon.
Please never delete these, these interviews are actually very insightful into the life of the average rockstar, even though Escape the Fate and Falling in reverse aren't the most well known the stories still sound very similar and it's nice to hear them come out the other side better than they were before.
Ronnie has become such a humble person now it makes me so happy
Oh man this interview made me weep. These two guys will never ever leave each other, they have a friendship that makes them brothers. When Ronnie talks about forgiveness and holds
his hands up to his own failings you know he's one of the good guys, they're both good, decent, intelligent guys. I'm so glad their union is back on track and as tight as ever and I wish all good things for them.

"A deal made with the devil, after all the dust had settled."
Such meaning. Much story. Wow.
They Remember Everything They Have Ever Done Together , You can tell there best Homies ..
I was trying not to cry when Max said "I just hit rock bottom..In an airport, in Atlanta, Georgia." Because I could hear the sadness, the pain, and the shame in his voice and it was heartbreaking. When is tarted listening to ETF, I was always a fan of Max. I always had his back when people would say shit about him, and I loved him. When I found out he was addicted for drugs and partying, it broke my heart because Max is a great guy. He couldn't even look at Ronnie when he said he hit rock bottom, because he felt like he failed Ronnie. I was at Warped Tour Thursday with my dad, and we found out about a FIR signing. I was the first in line for the signing and felt super stoke because I love FIR, and I wanted to tell Max I was proud of him. People tried to cut me and I wasn't gonna let them. Cause it meant a lot to me that I was gonna be able to say hi to one of my favorite bands, and I wasn't gonna take anyone's shit. When I got to Max, I said "Thank you so much for getting clean, it means the world to me that you're doing better, I'm very proud of you, and I love you." He smiled and said "Thank you, that's very nice of you to say." And I turned to Ronni cause I know he heard. I said "And thank you for being there for Max when he needed help, and I'm glad you don't feel the resentment towards him anymore." Ronnie smiled and said "Thank you, I really appreciate that." Cause they were gonna expect girls fangirling over them, and I was totally real with the both of them because I knew of their problems, I didn't talk shit about either of them, and I'm so happy they're clean, and that's they're doing better. Max, Ronnie, if you ever see this, I wanted to let you go know, I love you, and I'm very proud of both of you
He got a frog riding a Clydesdale horse saying "ahoy butternuts!" Tattooed on his shin when he was high.
Three. We are posting the final installment today at three.
It's so nice how Ronnie cares so much about what his dad thinks like about the Carson Daly song Ronnie's like "don't sing that song my dad WILL be mad". haha so cute
Fucking friendship goals.
The way Ronnie words what he says is just beautiful.
These interviews are so beautiful and emotional
Don't do drugs or you'll wake up with a Clydesdale on your leg
I'm in tears. This is amazing. They'll always be brothers in their hearts.
I'm in the program, im super glad im staying clean, and super glad to see these two rockstars stay clean.
This video made me so emotional that I had to stop it few times in order not cry.It's like the first time ever I see it completely and now I just want to hug these two guys that have been there for me in the past 7 years with their music.
these bring back so many old memories! so happy to see them happy
I love these interviews so much it makes me so happy their sober and clean and friends again :) ahh love it
The song he wrote about max (when he was angry... They're cool now, so chill) was called caught like a fly
Jim Bob tragic magic is about Craig
Lol not anymore.
The two first songs I heard by falling in reverse but thanks guys, I didn't know that
random-ass comments no, they’re still good
I just got sober again, this is my 3rd time. It’s different this time tho cuz like Ronnie said I decided to cut contact with all my druggie “friends” cuz I knew it’s not if but when
Keep going. You're an overcomer
You are a true friend, thanks for sharing this and saving us all !!!
Max, you go man! Keep doing it! and Ronnie, my hats off for you. RESPECT.
9:33 the story of how he his sold soul
I actually have a lot of respect for Max. He was always my favorite Escape the Fate member and I am really happy that he is sober now
I love you guys!!!! So glad your still friends... you're amazing.
I can relate to this, to the fullest extent. I am a recovering addict, and I think this is going to help me stay in the right direction.
hey man it’s been 10 years, how you doing now?
This warmed my heart more than anything.
I loved the success story, glad you decided to turn it around
he's like he's like he's like he's like
I have nothing but respect and utter love for these men. 3 I love you guys sooo much! Stay strong, I know you guys can do it! So proud. ^-^
I watched the la ink show and u can tell he was high as fuck like really
I went onto AP's facebook to see was this out literally 20 seconds ago.And boy was i happy that it was out :D
I've been wating years for this
Dude this video is so positive like I actually didn't even wanna read the comments because I knew there would be one person that has to say something negative but actually both of these guys are trying to do something good so people just need to lay off
this make me happy to see their friendship is strong enough to help eachother :)
I'm so proud of Ronnie and Max. Ronnie has a daughter now ^.^ So proud :')
Fuck, watching this 3 episode interview brings me to tears. Just to know that Ronnie and Max can be together in the same room, while being sober, is just mind blowing. These two guys are my biggest heroes and I will always love them through thick and thin. :')
So glad to see the real Max back, clean, sober, back in ETF and with Ronnie. My happiness is beyond words. High respect to Max and Ronnie. I love you guys so much ♥
i love how Ronnie is concerned about making his dad mad haha
Jesus Christ I feel like shit:( I know he won't read this but Ronnie I am so sorry man I love escape the fate and falling in reverse, I have now an enormous amount of respect for you, my dad was an addict and I watched him go through rehab and relapse so I don't know how painful it is to go through it personally but I know how hard it was for me to handle my dad I can't even imagine how hard it was for him or you. Congratulations though you're really talented and it really inspires me how far you've come gives me hope that one day my dad could recover as well:)
I think it's so cool how they have resolved all their Issues, and that Ronnie can let go of all the bitterness.
love these videos
for all the drugs they did they look realy good
yeah man, but you can hear it in their voice and how they mean well now but can still say pretentious shit or dumb, especially with Ronnie haha. All good though coz they all mean well now
They weren't really heavy users or really abused drugs for that long. Come down to Florida I'll show you some serious shit.
DeadTownManifesto1985 where exactly in Florida?
@@metalheaddd97Mainly talking about Orlando/Sanford. Or as I call it Junkie City. Just stand outside the methadone clinic.
DeadTownManifesto1985 dude said Ronnie Radke was never a heavy user of drugs 😂😂😂
I've been struggling with alcohol pretty fucking heavy and your songs " chemical prisoner and it's over when it's over " have carried me through some of the most darkest times of my life . I fuckin adore you and your my son Masons hero Ronnie he's 5 and know every word to zombified and voices in my head. My family is together because you helped me
I pray to God y'all stayed sober. Man I'm having a hell of a time right now. 90 days clean. Served a few sanctions (pv's) in the midst. Been couch surfing for 2 weeks after that. I am forever grateful for u Radke. ( Not familiar with escape but will look into u guys) U got me thru treatment and the torment I've endured the last month. I always forget lyrics in jail. Not firs. ❤️ The price I pay!!!!
Max green will forever be a star, when situation first came out you could see the kid was meant to be a rockstar. Absolute legend of my teen emo days
Omg that tatto story in LA ink of ronnie getting on the leg while high made me crack up...😅
I love there friendship I love how protective and how much ronnie cares about max,makes me so h
Awesome!!!! :000 love you guys
much respect for both of them
I love max giggles 😍❤️
I wish my cousin would understand that she's throwing her life away by doing drugs... and she's gone to prison and rehab a few times
How is she doing now? Did she end up getting clean?
All I have to say is that I hope they keep it up. A very very close friend to mine that I'm desperately working to move towards sobriety and its tough. It really is. Sometimes we're nothing almost throwing in the towel but we keep working. A lot if what is said here is sounds cliche but its true. All I have to say is that I have a shit load of respect. It's tough. Addiction is not easy. For anyone that reads this educate yourself because its no were as easy as it sounds.
Proud of them both ❤️
Literally tearing up
Im loving this
The part where they mentioned signing the contract for their souls to be sold kind of freaked me out a bit, though it's also a pretty interesting story. I feel a little sad for max cause I didn't even realize he was into drugs(at least not that bad) until I started reading about it. Like I said though, I'm happy for him and I'm glad he's doing better. Let's just hope it continues and that he'll have a brighter future. Xoxo.
im proud of both of them no 1 should ever put themselves in that position. i have never done drugs but i know that drugs will kill you. it will hurt you. dont do it and you will save more than just you
Respect. So much new found respect.
Haha, Ronnie...."...No, we weren't doing drugs, we weren't high....were you high?...." 🤣
that was useful man, thank you
The bromance is so strong here
Huge respect for both Ronnie and Max
Max stay clean if you are man keep your head up Ronnie you too and keep the hard ass beats coming
finally as a former etf obbsessed fan i feel a little warm feeling inside man
wow ronnie actually earned my respect again
Damn, this is some good stuff. Ronnie and Max should write a book or something haha.
Funny you should say that. Ronnie is actually coming out with a book this July. Is just so happens to be put together by him and the dude that is doing this interview, Ryan J. Downey
This makes me happy
"how high were you guys when this happened?" The interviewer lost me there man. Some experiences in life can be very incredible and words can't prove it happened. It even looked insulting, do not devalue someone's experience just because they did drugs or whatever.
I mean judging by the content of this interview it was a very valid question bro.
he wasnt out of line lol they were getting high together and telling stories leading up to that story they told..They didnt stress the time of year it took place leading up to it also so it was a valid question
He kept interrupting with the stupidest questions. It was infuriating.
Ronnie and max!!!! God I love this
god I remember the la ink thing he was so messed up omg :D
So proud of Ronnie♥
Whoa Ronnie is a changed man! Good on him.
it's so amazing...I didin't think they would ever get along again like this
omg whenever i see them in the same place i feel dizzy and i'm shaking and omg feels so many feels
sorry
I wish I had a friend like this...
That tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow BOOM a year go by has been happening to me...
Just one more day.. tomorrow... yeah i know those words far too well.. tbh still struggling with it.. its not easy ive gotten sober at least 5 x now but relapsed and tomorrow is what I tell my friends so they stop bugging me before I know it another 2 months have gone by
YES!
I hope there's a part 3
I jus love how they have the same birthday
This was posted on my birthday tippy
I've seen the la ink episode before cx I love Kat. And ronnie. And max omfg I've always loved max I'm so happy about this ;-;
As a mum, myself recieving a phonecall from my child like the one max had with his mum, I'd be so scared and concerned but I would 100% want my child home where they could heal and I could be with them, this interview made me highly emotional, I love max and Ronnie, such talent and a clean slate which is amazing! x
Im happy now everyone is cool with everyone now. Now we can get over the ridiculous fighting please.
I'm tearing up...
IM NOT GONNA CRY :(
My friends brother was with them when they sold their souls.. crazy cuz my friend told me this exact story years ago.
That's crazyyy. Was your friend's brother in a band?
yep and how soon after did they get signee to a label?
ohh sheit i seen that la ink epidode like a year or two ago it was soo funy and you could tell he was high
Sorry to hear about Ronnies brother. R.I.P
I still want to hear the song they wrote about Carson Daly.
I was on board until the “sold my soul part” I can never look at this guy the same now. One of my favorite artists and I believe every word he said. But yet again, all artists are the same.
Y’all take this religious stuff a little too serious for watching an atheist telling this story
@@jlz_v. or maybe you’re extremely naive
WHENS PART 3?
...okay now that i have your attention, please tell Ronnie i love him..thanks
YOU CANT JUST END IT LIKE THAT! PART THREE!!
this is some heavy fucking shit,respect to these guys man..
