Massive respect to ronnie for sticking up for Michael. He didn't write the song politically, but he doesn't care that someone interpreted that way, and in fact SUPPORTS him doing it. The fact that he dragged that guy for calling Michael a clown for not liking what he was saying is proof that ronnie practices what he preaches. I've gained so much respect for him over the last several years, it started off musically, i just loved his music, but the more i see if him the more i simply just appreciate him as a person.
Attacking that chatter for expressing freedom of speech is huge hypocrisy. So much of what he says is just projection. He doesn't even see his own contradictions
@@nicholasjackson8782 no you just choose to see it that way. The chat was calling Michael a Nazi for his political views. Ronnie never told the chat they can't speak, he told them that they're the problem for overreacting in that way.
So Michael can say that the left is robots. Say they run everything. They hypnotize the masses blah blah blah. But anyone calls him put for doing it they are the problem. The thing with free speech is, I know it's hard to follow, you can speak what you want however you want, but others can speak back and take action accordingly. Freedom of speech isn't freedom from individuals judging you by what you say. And he is a clown for trying to create even more divide by constantly saying libs this and conservatives that.
I understand the song is about not demonizing a person for who they were and believing that people DO change, but i can't blame anyone for thinking this has political vibes in terms of cancel culture. This is an incredibly controversial song in the times we live in but it is 100% needed because this "cancel culture" is out of control and needs to be addressed. This song is one of the best songs they've ever put out in terms of the conversational spikes you can have over interpretation. Fits very much in line with popular monster in terms of ronnie's story.
Ronnie is so wise. I like that he speaks up for someone else's views and opinions of his content and even encourages his fans to do the same. The polarization and extremist views on both sides of this world is what is killing us all. Ronnie makes that very clear.
Seeing people in the Twitch chat realizing (hopefully) that they are the zombified people Ronnie was talking about in the song in real time was priceless. Love that Ronnie speaks his mind not matter what the mainstream narrative is, it's why I ride and die with FIR forever.
Twitch is run by Amazon and most of the people in the chat on that site are indoctrinated to left wing ideology. Thus all of the cognitive dissonance from his chat. Spooky.
Conservatives finally starting to understand the importance of media for counter culture. Man seeing the end of this ronnie seems like such a down to earth guy.
Well us conservatives are cancelled on a daily for saying anything thats remotely close to the truth and thats why its so huge bc its a double standard you dont like what someone says yet you go out and you pretty much repeat the same exact thing that the other person had said its annoying tbf
This is why I'll always stick up for Ronnie and his music. He doesn't just back down. He says what he believes and what is right and don't just fold to what people think he should believe. Props to you Mr. Radke
Ronnie just earned my respect right here. We are all allowed our opinion. Opinions are not right or wrong. They’re our perceptions based off of our experiences & beliefs.
It's one thing voicing your opinion, which many times has nothing to do with facts, but it's a different story if you're trying to convince millions of people on something you have no idea what you're talking about.
I don't agree with Michael Knowles but Ronnie did the right thing. Everyone is allowed to have their own opinions and interpretations. And it's fucked up to call him a clown for his opinions.
dude, i discovered 3 things today: - a new band i didn't know about with great sound - i discovered Michael Knowles, i didn't know who he was but i like how he analyze a song, even if he is wrong in what the writer wanted to say, he style makes amazing point in his own interpretation - and finally i discovered a band whose singer is super fucking awesome and pro free speech, the guy literally defend a conservative for the good points he's making while not even being republican.
As someone who doesn't consider themself a Republican or a Democrat, seeing hypocrisy from both sides, it's so refreshing to hear Ronnie encourage free thinking and open mindedness toward different views. I think half of the Republicans and Democrats out there are very reasonable, intelligent people that can handle compromise and empathy. Unfortunately, the other half of the lot are loud and uncompromising and those are the ones that get the most air time/media coverage. When half the population is below "average intelligence" and "average intelligence" isn't that high to begin with, it's easy to see that the lower end of the curve far overestimates their understanding while the higher end of the curve is smart enough to avoid absolutes.
@@volbrenYT yeah well in my opinion it's the loudest ones that make things move, if only the smart ones had a bigger mouth we wouldn't live in a live action south park episode for the past 10 years...
Love Ronnie so much for standing up for Michael here on his own perspective of the song. I agree with Ronnie, music is written in a way that 10people can listen to a song and each person might have a different view of what it meant. Mad respect for Ronnie man. Good on you brother
Ronnie is the man, cancel culture tried to rear it's ugly head during his reaction video and Ronnie shut that down immediately. Apparently whoever called Michael a clown, and wanted to talk sh*t, didn't listen to what this song was about.
Yeah like to me the song is counter to cancel culture, on either side. Close minded on both sides and very tribalist. Now I don’t like knowles for other stuff he’s done.
I fucking love this guy, I actually heard of falling in reverse because of the reaction video he’s watching now the day he made that video and I have become a legitimate fan of the band and him since then and listened to tons of their stuff.
Same here, love this song! And what’s funny is, we probably don’t care about his political views as much as most of his followers…who are most likely left leaning. His fans would probably stop listening to him because he’s speaking his thoughts about it right now.

I knew I was a Ronnie Radke fan for a good reason - he isnt afraid to speak the TRUTH, even when it goes against the mainstream narrative. It is a GOOD thing to ask questions and poke holes in their narrative... when they try to force us into silence and submission and dont allow questions, we know we are on the right track. Keep it up, Ronnie 🤘
Didnt realize i needed to see this reaction until i saw it!!! Huge fan of both Michael and Ronnie! Mad respect to you Ronnie for not being an ass and putting bullies in their place and being open to a different perspective whether you agree or not with him. Mad respect
For real, I was in his stream and people were raging calling this guy a nazi and stuff. Y’all need to understand that music is subjective, you’re not so important that your interpretation is the only meaning of a song. Get a grip.
Well yes arts are subjective. And mostly because everyday people can't normally talk to the artist and what the art was meant to be. So they take it how they want it. It's a little less subjective now a days when the artist himself can literally say what he wrote it about on a live stream with thousands of viewers.
@@daltonred7774 I watched the video. I see how people can take different meanings from things. But at the same time when the guy who wrote the song about this, and you try to make it about that, it doesn't really add up. But I guess now a days in almost all contexts even facts are subjective because everyone can be told the same fact and yet they all take it differently. So why even have facts or reason anymore. The world should just be what I think is how it is and I'm sure we will all get a long great. Lol
@@daltonred7774 🤦 completely missed the point. He doesn't understand that because an artist writes a song about something specific, it can take on a life of its own. Take Simon and Garfunkel "The Sound of Silence." EVERYONE interprets the song as some sort of deep meaningful song about depression and mental illness... he literally wrote it about taking a dump with the lights off. GREAT music is music that you interpret personally. This song... is GREAT.
Mad respect for sticking up for Michael like that during the reaction. A part of me felt like Michael had originally misinterpreted what Ronnie intended the song to be about (which he kind of did misinterpret it), but Ronnie was very humble in explaining the differences between the interpretation and what he really meant. And I love that Ronnie had a sense of humor about it all. Never really listened to Falling in Reverse, but I love seeing these kinds of crossovers and hearing everybody's perspectives.
So the thing with that is we're talking about a virus that spreads and mutates. Your choices effect everyone around you, this isn't a simple "you do you" sort of situation. "You do you" only makes sense if you're actions aren't causing harm to others.
People interpret things in all sorts of different ways based on their experiences and views. It is so refreshing to see an artist accepting that fact and standing up for someone who interprets his own work in a way different than what the artist was meaning.
I like both Ronnie and Michael. Its good to see Ronnie allow free interpretation of his music, that's how all forms of art should be. Also refreshing to see more and more people with a platform speak out on the madness that is covid
This is such a big deal to see freaking MICHAEL KNOWLES doing a reaction to Ronnie and Ronnie reacting to it back. 😂 Big win if you ask me. Now hopefully next time it'll also be Ben Shapiro reacts to Ronnie's new song. I wonder how Ronnie will react to it if that happens. I've seen Ronnie quote Ben a few times on stream and on twitter. I think he might be a fan of Ben. Plus, I think he even follows Ben on twitter. I could be wrong but I think he does. Anyway, such a huge win. Loved both of theirs's reactions. Cheers. 🥳
I am a 56 year old lady that freaking loves this song. Never liked listening to country music. Was always a rock fan. Ronnie you have such insightful lyrics and have made me a fan. I love how it's a cross between rock and heavy metal. Genius!!!
Have you listened to Motionless in White - Another Life? It's different than this, but it's currently my favorite song. If you're interested, check out Eternally Yours by them first, the songs go together.
So I just started listening to Falling in Reverse (no I haven't been under a rock .I just listened to what I grew up on) I think this video has cemented my new found love of this group...and this man .
it was Michael Knowles' reaction to this song that made me love it and get back into FIR songs again, and seeing this reaction back from Ronnie is soo cool
Ronnie seems to not realize that as a society we’ve reached a point where the personal is political. There is seemingly no aspect of life that escapes from the political scene. To be anti-censorship is making a hell of a statement at the point
Dude, thought the same thing. Ronnie said it’s not political then goes on to explain how his song is political. I believe he believes this song isn’t trying to be political or wasn’t intended to be. But cancel culture, freedom of speech, etc. is political now a days.
@@relaxingnature6766 that’s the biggest problem, literally every aspect of life has become political now and everything you say and do has to do with politics even if you don’t intend it to, which all comes back to Zombified and meaning of Ronnie’s lyrics despite him not originally intending to write about politics
Okay I was surprised when I saw Michael Knowles react to the song now I'm seeing Ronnie react to Michael Knowles reacting to the song this is everything I could have ever wanted but didn't know I needed😅🤗
Ronnie speaking facts. I respect that you read comments and addressed them in the way you did because it would have been easier and less risky to ignore it. Practicing what you preaching and in your song. Knowles is dry but he was being facetious
I love that Ronnie respected his interpretation of the song 💖 we all interpret things differently and thats what art is about omg I love Ronnie more now and and didnt know i COULD
Jesus my respect for Ronnie just tripled… I don’t think a lot of famous people would be willing to call out their own fans like he just did. Even though Michael’s interpretation of the song isn’t all that accurate, like Ronnie said music is objective, and that’s just how it was perceived. FIR was already one of my favorite bands on the planet, and now they’re just so much greater to me.
And this is why I say hes a class act bro. As a conservaterian, even if u completely disagree with me, ill love ya, why can't that go both Ways? This is why we need free speech.
The problem REAL problem in todays U.S. politics is that what's put out as mainstream information is usually proven to be untrue or incorrect at some point either immediately, or down the road and unfortunately, that one side believes all the propagandized false information which creates their false world view. The other side who has used their critical thinking and available information to see through the bullshit has a different world view based on facts which shapes their world view which is grounded in actual reality. Its not a matter of mere disagreement, its a matter of people being completely wrong and naïve about the facts on most subjects. I've had to shake plenty of family members out of their stupor about what's going on in the world before. They got mad at me at first for challenging their world view, but once it finally clicked, they got mad at the people who were deceiving them and actually thanked me later on. Mainstream news is cancer to the public. Stop watching it.
@@nicholasjackson8782 calling someone names is not freedom of speech, it's juvenile. Saying you disagree with someone and giving thought out reasons why, that's freedom of speech.
@@nicholasjackson8782 calling someone a nazi is free speech in the same way that shooting your gun in the air is the second amendment, or the cops bringing in a dog on your car is the 4th. I.E. yeah technically, but you’re a douche for doing it and stretching it as far as you can so much so that you might as well just tear it up. MK is not a nazi, or a white supremacist, or any other term of the type, he’s a basic ass conservative.
Love both guys on this issue. Whoop!!! So glad to see Ronnie calling people out for things that are simply opinion. It’s hard to think the song is not political because it hits the nail right on the head. Love listening to Ronnie talk about his experience!
Knowles has some dry humor and I'm glad Ronnie was able to catch that instead of roasting him the whole time.....but I did not expect the last 5 mins of ronnie going on a rant! I love how open he is to so many different interpretations of his songs, and kills his chat for saying shit against the reviewer.
I first saw the music video from. Watching Michael Knowles. I do care for music videos, they usually are worthless gyrating sex crap, but I fell in love with the symbolism that I have seen in the zombified video! And have been waiting for this reaction since Knowles is a political commentator. I was so excited to see Ronnie's reaction to this!
The thing is. Even if Ronnie didn't intend this song to be political, because let's be honest the issues he brings up in the song are not inherently political, the establishment has turned these issues political to divide the country. Unfortunately nowadays we can't run from things being politicized, it is how our society basically functions.
There needs to be a movie about this guys life he has one of the best character arcs of any celebrity in recent memory been listening to his music since he was in ETF and it's great to see him living his best life happy healthy and raising a family
I wanted to watch this because I felt like Michael has a point, but I also felt that the song went deeper than just what he's pointing out. What Ronnie says about music being subjective is what makes him an ARTIST. That outlook is so amazing. I've seen musicians get pissed over the way people interpret their songs, and I'm like "really??" Just be happy that people are connecting with your music. Music is like therapy for many of us. Ronnie understands this. 🤘
Love that you stick to the value. Music is subjective. Talking about cancel culture and Michael is pointing out how he’s seen it’s affects and you stand up for him having his view
Same here lol. I listen to Falling in reverse a lot, and for some reason I didn’t see they dropped the new song. I saw a Knowles review on UA-cam and had to do a double take lol. Glad I watched it cuz it’s such a great song
Well said Ronnie. Love your music. And music does so much for ppl. You are right we can interpret songs in so many ways. Respect sir for what you do and who you are as a human being. Keep up the awesome work!! Looking forward to the next hit
I fuckin LOVE this so much!! 🤟🏻😜 I was a bit nervous, about both sides of this in a way (hard to describe in text really). But I love Ronnie. And I like Michael. But I really appreciate that Ronnie's still able to be real, even considering the industry he's in. Soo many people sell out. Or they're just basic NPC's about everything. Repeating their programming like parrots. So, long story short, this was pleasantly surprising. This attitude is what the proverbial 'Rock n Roll' was supposed to be. Mad respect bro! 🙂👍🏻
That was pretty dope...you can tell he was listening and learning/appreciating the viewpoint and probably intrigued that his song was speaking to someone in a way that he never before seen. I mean I don't think you can get more polar opposite in style but Michael and Ronnie both agree that you have to fight back the bullshit
Awesome response Ronnie! I hadn't heard of you until this Michael Knowles clip and now I am a HUGE fan! Popular Monster and I am not a Vampire are absolutely amazing! And the vis absolutely perfectly match your hard hitting lyrics! You're a real, talented, artist! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
I got mad respect for Ronnie now. I was a huge fan when they came out and now i see how Ronnie is a lot wiser than i guess he was, definitely a whole lot mature
Your just know there's a voice in the back of Ronnie's head that said "it's a terrible idea yeah..... Here's the first two verses and hook just working on the breakdown" 🤣
I am a Christian and I love this song. Technically Michael has a point and this song points that shit out. Five Finger Points it out all the time what liberal media does. Much Respect to Ronnie for sticking up for Michael.
I JUST LOVE RONNIE!!!!!!!!!! Not only is his MUSIC AWESOME, but he's SMART AS HELL AND BRAVE ENOUGH TO SPEAK THE TRUTH, EVEN TO HIS FANS, WHO I KNOW HE LOVES!!!!!! Things will only get worse if people who have a voice, like Ronnie, stay silent and "shut their mouth cause they don't wanna piss-off anyone "!!!!!! ❤❤❤
I travel for work, long stay type stuff. In the past 8 months I’ve been to Colorado, Louisiana, California, Tennessee and I live in Texas. You are correct about how you notice the differences when you travel. Some people freak out, som people don’t give a damn. Yet, you really see the truth behind it the more you travel. I personally have been on the pandemic is bull shit train since the start but it just because more clear as time moves on. I realize this song may not have been written for the purpose Micheal Knowles believes but the truth of the matter is that your eyes are more open to the deceit than most and that is amazing!
Such a great viewpoint by someone who is traveling the states and seeing the difference states and their reactions according to the politicians. All politicians are scumbags some are just bigger scumbags.
Never thought I’d see the day where having basic common sense and self-think would get yourself labeled as an extremist or terrorist….but it’s happening… Of course, it’s not the only time it’s happened in history. Happened in Europe 80 years ago, and we all know what happened to those who thought for themselves 🤷♂️
Ronnie has true conviction and courage. He doesn’t align with michael but defends his right to say it. Listening to his songs is one thing, but he practices what he preaches. Conviction! And that takes immense courage now a days. I respect folks like this like no other. They are who will save us from self destruction.
I came to know Ronnie radke through this Michael Knowles video he’s reacting to and I’ve been super in love ever since!! I also interpreted the song as being about Covid and media lies cause well, the shoe fits
I just found this song and listened to it all day. I respect you Ronnie for being an independent thinker and listening to other peoples thoughts on your song. Your very talented and I look forward to binging more songs!
Same shit in Texas. I live near Waco and mask is optional. No big deal if you wear it or not. But drive to Austin and holy shit they're nuts. There are still restaurants that have the temperature gun, there are businesses allowing only a certain amount of people at a time. Just came from a graduation ceremony in Austin and sure enough, we have to wear a mask to enter. An hour north in Salado restaurants are packed and no one is wearing a mask. It's crazy
Ronnie, your the FUCKING MAN! I just turned 30 a little over a week ago and I have been listening to you since escape the fate. Your music you put out is simply amazing. The lyrics, vocals, instrumentals and just the way your songs hit my soul. You and the rest of Falling in Reverse are one of the few bands that put out a C.D(example), and every song is good. You don't just have 1 or 2. Now beyond that, I respect you as a person. You have always been so loving and appreciative towards your fans and you can tell its 100% authentic. You don't mince words and you have always expressed yourself to the fullest and I respect how far you have come even when others tried to knock you down. Ok now to what my main comments are lol I personally listen to Ben Shapiro alot and I occasionally listen to Knowles. I'm happy to see you listen to what he says and how he interprets your song and instead of bashing him, you defend him. It's so nice to see someone not vomit woke ideology lol And I know by no means your conservative either lol But ya, in the end, isn't what music all about is how each individual percives or interprets that song when they hear it?
Massive respect to ronnie for sticking up for Michael. He didn't write the song politically, but he doesn't care that someone interpreted that way, and in fact SUPPORTS him doing it.

Thanks Ronnie for standing up to his audience, trying to cancel the guy for his interpretation ... Kinda makes the guys point.
You can’t cancel Michael Knowles lol. He’s been around for many years and speaks very politically
It literally proves what Knowles is saying is accurate, and the left dont get that. Almost a self fulfilling prophecy in a way.
“It’s not a pandemic, THEY named it that” put that in a song. Damn.
Would be gold
Amen
We do have a pandemic. A pandemic of brainwashed fools lol.
Ronnie is so wise. I like that he speaks up for someone else's views and opinions of his content and even encourages his fans to do the same. The polarization and extremist views on both sides of this world is what is killing us all. Ronnie makes that very clear.
Now we just need Michael to react to Ronnie reacting to Micheal reacting to Ronnie’s song. 😂
The guy being called a clown is EXACTLY what the song is about
Truth, Micheal clearly put his own conservative twist on it but as Ronnie said: that's his right, and music is a matter of perspective
Ronnie still stuck up for his opinion. He didn't jump on a bandwagon
The irony is great. Knowles has the right to interpret the song, but the "clown" is one of those zombies pumped full of brain dead ideas
Seeing people in the Twitch chat realizing (hopefully) that they are the zombified people Ronnie was talking about in the song in real time was priceless. Love that Ronnie speaks his mind not matter what the mainstream narrative is, it's why I ride and die with FIR forever.

So the thing with that is we're talking about a virus that spreads and mutates. Your choices effect everyone around you, this isn't a simple "you do you" sort of situation. "You do you" only makes sense if you're actions aren't causing harm to others.
@@AvoidingtheQuestion but if you get the vaccine which protects you and you get a mask, then why you worried about other people
That's literally the rights perspective. Do what you want but leave me the fuck alone.
"I just don't understand why people don't realize that YOU'RE THE PROBLEM"
PREEEEAAAACHHHH BROTHER
Thus reaction just made me love Ronnie even more. Surprises me more and more. Dude is of sound mind.
People interpret things in all sorts of different ways based on their experiences and views. It is so refreshing to see an artist accepting that fact and standing up for someone who interprets his own work in a way different than what the artist was meaning.
I respect Ronnie so much for speaking the truth on Covid. I’m so glad he understands.
Unfortunatly he took two of the shots, I worry for him/his health.
@@mentalalchemysubliminals he caved?? Really?
I like both Ronnie and Michael. Its good to see Ronnie allow free interpretation of his music, that's how all forms of art should be. Also refreshing to see more and more people with a platform speak out on the madness that is covid
I'm an old school metalhead that found you through Knowles.
Mad respect bro🤘
Ronnie saying "youre the problem" is what we need more of.
This is such a big deal to see freaking MICHAEL KNOWLES doing a reaction to Ronnie and Ronnie reacting to it back. 😂
Big win if you ask me.
Now hopefully next time it'll also be Ben Shapiro reacts to Ronnie's new song. I wonder how Ronnie will react to it if that happens. I've seen Ronnie quote Ben a few times on stream and on twitter. I think he might be a fan of Ben. Plus, I think he even follows Ben on twitter. I could be wrong but I think he does.
Anyway, such a huge win. Loved both of theirs's reactions. Cheers. 🥳
I KNOW RIGHT?!
And omg that's cool about Ronnie and Ben! & I def think a reaction to Ronnie's song by Ben would be amazing!
I had to do a double take when I saw Michael release that video lmao
I just checked, he does follow Ben on Twitter and now I’m an even bigger fan than I already was lol
I am a 56 year old lady that freaking loves this song. Never liked listening to country music. Was always a rock fan. Ronnie you have such insightful lyrics and have made me a fan. I love how it's a cross between rock and heavy metal. Genius!!!
Have you listened to Motionless in White - Another Life? It's different than this, but it's currently my favorite song.
If you're interested, check out Eternally Yours by them first, the songs go together.
I love this song as well
U Rock Charlotte
So I just started listening to Falling in Reverse (no I haven't been under a rock .I just listened to what I grew up on)
I think this video has cemented my new found love of this group...and this man .
I remember listening to this band in high school, it's crazy to see people only now finding out about them
Not a fan of Falling In Reverses music for the most part, but massive respect to Ronnie Radke
Agreed, most of it's too screamo for me but they have some real bangers like this one, fashionably late, and popular monster
I fuckin love Ronnie im so glad he posts on social media and you can get to know him better on a different level than just his lyrics
it was Michael Knowles' reaction to this song that made me love it and get back into FIR songs again, and seeing this reaction back from Ronnie is soo cool
Ronnie seems to not realize that as a society we’ve reached a point where the personal is political. There is seemingly no aspect of life that escapes from the political scene. To be anti-censorship is making a hell of a statement at the point
Dude, thought the same thing. Ronnie said it’s not political then goes on to explain how his song is political. I believe he believes this song isn’t trying to be political or wasn’t intended to be. But cancel culture, freedom of speech, etc. is political now a days.
@@relaxingnature6766 that’s the biggest problem, literally every aspect of life has become political now and everything you say and do has to do with politics even if you don’t intend it to, which all comes back to Zombified and meaning of Ronnie’s lyrics despite him not originally intending to write about politics
Thank god for this kid. I remember the good ole days when rockers were anti establishment. Didn't like corporations.
Yup. It's counter culture to be conservative now. As a conservative and a metalhead, I am liking where this is going.
Okay I was surprised when I saw Michael Knowles react to the song now I'm seeing Ronnie react to Michael Knowles reacting to the song this is everything I could have ever wanted but didn't know I needed😅🤗
Ronnie speaking facts. I respect that you read comments and addressed them in the way you did because it would have been easier and less risky to ignore it. Practicing what you preaching and in your song. Knowles is dry but he was being facetious
I love that Ronnie respected his interpretation of the song 💖 we all interpret things differently and thats what art is about omg I love Ronnie more now and and didnt know i COULD
I'm now a bigger fan of Ronnie now. More than ever. THANK GOD HE HAS COMMON SENSE!!!!!!
Jesus my respect for Ronnie just tripled… I don’t think a lot of famous people would be willing to call out their own fans like he just did. Even though Michael’s interpretation of the song isn’t all that accurate, like Ronnie said music is objective, and that’s just how it was perceived. FIR was already one of my favorite bands on the planet, and now they’re just so much greater to me.
And this is why I say hes a class act bro. As a conservaterian, even if u completely disagree with me, ill love ya, why can't that go both Ways? This is why we need free speech.
The problem REAL problem in todays U.S. politics is that what's put out as mainstream information is usually proven to be untrue or incorrect at some point either immediately, or down the road and unfortunately, that one side believes all the propagandized false information which creates their false world view. The other side who has used their critical thinking and available information to see through the bullshit has a different world view based on facts which shapes their world view which is grounded in actual reality.
Its not a matter of mere disagreement, its a matter of people being completely wrong and naïve about the facts on most subjects. I've had to shake plenty of family members out of their stupor about what's going on in the world before. They got mad at me at first for challenging their world view, but once it finally clicked, they got mad at the people who were deceiving them and actually thanked me later on.
Mainstream news is cancer to the public. Stop watching it.
@@duckyHsGaming Right on point!
He literally attacked a chatter for expressing freedom of speech. That's called hypocrisy
@@nicholasjackson8782 calling someone names is not freedom of speech, it's juvenile. Saying you disagree with someone and giving thought out reasons why, that's freedom of speech.
@@nicholasjackson8782 calling someone a nazi is free speech in the same way that shooting your gun in the air is the second amendment, or the cops bringing in a dog on your car is the 4th. I.E. yeah technically, but you’re a douche for doing it and stretching it as far as you can so much so that you might as well just tear it up.
MK is not a nazi, or a white supremacist, or any other term of the type, he’s a basic ass conservative.
Love both guys on this issue. Whoop!!!
So glad to see Ronnie calling people out for things that are simply opinion.
It’s hard to think the song is not political because it hits the nail right on the head.
Love listening to Ronnie talk about his experience!
RESPEKT RONNIE FOR HAVING BALLS AND SAYIN THE TRUTH
The most underrated musician in rock history. Keep doing you bro..,.they will eventually realize the greatness. 🤜🤛
Knowles has some dry humor and I'm glad Ronnie was able to catch that instead of roasting him the whole time.....but I did not expect the last 5 mins of ronnie going on a rant!
I love how open he is to so many different interpretations of his songs, and kills his chat for saying shit against the reviewer.
I wanted to lolol
Respect, Ronnie!
I discovered Ronnie yesterday. I'm a fan now.
I learned of you through this reaction by Michael and an instant fan of falling in reverse. Really love your reaction to Michael's reaction.
I first saw the music video from. Watching Michael Knowles. I do care for music videos, they usually are worthless gyrating sex crap, but I fell in love with the symbolism that I have seen in the zombified video! And have been waiting for this reaction since Knowles is a political commentator. I was so excited to see Ronnie's reaction to this!
The thing is. Even if Ronnie didn't intend this song to be political, because let's be honest the issues he brings up in the song are not inherently political, the establishment has turned these issues political to divide the country. Unfortunately nowadays we can't run from things being politicized, it is how our society basically functions.
Mad respect to Radke. My guy really took a bunch of steps up in my book
There needs to be a movie about this guys life he has one of the best character arcs of any celebrity in recent memory been listening to his music since he was in ETF and it's great to see him living his best life happy healthy and raising a family
I wanted to watch this because I felt like Michael has a point, but I also felt that the song went deeper than just what he's pointing out. What Ronnie says about music being subjective is what makes him an ARTIST. That outlook is so amazing. I've seen musicians get pissed over the way people interpret their songs, and I'm like "really??" Just be happy that people are connecting with your music. Music is like therapy for many of us. Ronnie understands this. 🤘
Been a fan of ronnie since the escape the fate days, man's an unbelievable artist.
He is an unbelievable artist but he doesn't know jack shit about medicine 😂
Love that you stick to the value. Music is subjective. Talking about cancel culture and Michael is pointing out how he’s seen it’s affects and you stand up for him having his view
I just love Michael so it's a double treat
I first heard this song when Michael viewed it and now it’s one of my favorite songs!! Love Ronnie and his honesty.
Same here lol. I listen to Falling in reverse a lot, and for some reason I didn’t see they dropped the new song. I saw a Knowles review on UA-cam and had to do a double take lol. Glad I watched it cuz it’s such a great song
@@FlipflopB hello white obama
@@alexiluffy216 my fellow Americans. Howdy!
Well said Ronnie. Love your music. And music does so much for ppl. You are right we can interpret songs in so many ways. Respect sir for what you do and who you are as a human being. Keep up the awesome work!! Looking forward to the next hit
I fuckin LOVE this so much!! 🤟🏻😜
I was a bit nervous, about both sides of this in a way (hard to describe in text really).
But I love Ronnie. And I like Michael. But I really appreciate that Ronnie's still able to be real, even considering the industry he's in. Soo many people sell out. Or they're just basic NPC's about everything. Repeating their programming like parrots.
So, long story short, this was pleasantly surprising.
This attitude is what the proverbial 'Rock n Roll' was supposed to be.
Mad respect bro! 🙂👍🏻
That was pretty dope...you can tell he was listening and learning/appreciating the viewpoint and probably intrigued that his song was speaking to someone in a way that he never before seen. I mean I don't think you can get more polar opposite in style but Michael and Ronnie both agree that you have to fight back the bullshit
Awesome response Ronnie! I hadn't heard of you until this Michael Knowles clip and now I am a HUGE fan! Popular Monster and I am not a Vampire are absolutely amazing! And the vis absolutely perfectly match your hard hitting lyrics! You're a real, talented, artist! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
I got mad respect for Ronnie now. I was a huge fan when they came out and now i see how Ronnie is a lot wiser than i guess he was, definitely a whole lot mature
Love how Ronnie called out the person in the chat for being infantile 🙌
Your just know there's a voice in the back of Ronnie's head that said "it's a terrible idea yeah..... Here's the first two verses and hook just working on the breakdown" 🤣
this. this is just part of why I love ronnie so much, i have so much respect and admiration for that man, he has made such an impact on my life.
I am a Christian and I love this song. Technically Michael has a point and this song points that shit out. Five Finger Points it out all the time what liberal media does. Much Respect to Ronnie for sticking up for Michael.
"It kills fat people, pardon my French" I'm definitely gonna use that somewhere 🤣🤣
I JUST LOVE RONNIE!!!!!!!!!! Not only is his MUSIC AWESOME, but he's SMART AS HELL AND BRAVE ENOUGH TO SPEAK THE TRUTH, EVEN TO HIS FANS, WHO I KNOW HE LOVES!!!!!! Things will only get worse if people who have a voice, like Ronnie, stay silent and "shut their mouth cause they don't wanna piss-off anyone "!!!!!! ❤❤❤
Ronnie Based Radke
Michael is awesome!
Ronnie Gangsta
Can't wait for the next video! :D
I travel for work, long stay type stuff. In the past 8 months I’ve been to Colorado, Louisiana, California, Tennessee and I live in Texas. You are correct about how you notice the differences when you travel. Some people freak out, som people don’t give a damn. Yet, you really see the truth behind it the more you travel.
I personally have been on the pandemic is bull shit train since the start but it just because more clear as time moves on.
I realize this song may not have been written for the purpose Micheal Knowles believes but the truth of the matter is that your eyes are more open to the deceit than most and that is amazing!
Such a great viewpoint by someone who is traveling the states and seeing the difference states and their reactions according to the politicians. All politicians are scumbags some are just bigger scumbags.
Love Ronnie. Been a fan since 2006.
ronald is such a wholesome guy
Never thought I’d see the day where having basic common sense and self-think would get yourself labeled as an extremist or terrorist….but it’s happening…
Of course, it’s not the only time it’s happened in history. Happened in Europe 80 years ago, and we all know what happened to those who thought for themselves 🤷♂️
Ronnie is the man! Ive loved following his crazy journey! Keep dropping the hits my good man!
This was the crossover I never thought I'd see...kudos to Ronnie for being open to Knowles
So much respect for you Ronnie. Love your work. Keep it up man.
Ronnie has true conviction and courage. He doesn’t align with michael but defends his right to say it. Listening to his songs is one thing, but he practices what he preaches. Conviction! And that takes immense courage now a days. I respect folks like this like no other. They are who will save us from self destruction.
Mad respect to Ronnie
Awesome reaction bro 🤘
And this is why I love Ronnie.
I came to know Ronnie radke through this Michael Knowles video he’s reacting to and I’ve been super in love ever since!! I also interpreted the song as being about Covid and media lies cause well, the shoe fits
Huge respect to Ronnie. this was super based
Awesome video man, gonna check out more, thank you for the awesome content and keep it up brother! 💯❤
I just found this song and listened to it all day. I respect you Ronnie for being an independent thinker and listening to other peoples thoughts on your song. Your very talented and I look forward to binging more songs!
Same shit in Texas. I live near Waco and mask is optional. No big deal if you wear it or not. But drive to Austin and holy shit they're nuts. There are still restaurants that have the temperature gun, there are businesses allowing only a certain amount of people at a time. Just came from a graduation ceremony in Austin and sure enough, we have to wear a mask to enter. An hour north in Salado restaurants are packed and no one is wearing a mask. It's crazy
Ronnie, your the FUCKING MAN! I just turned 30 a little over a week ago and I have been listening to you since escape the fate. Your music you put out is simply amazing. The lyrics, vocals, instrumentals and just the way your songs hit my soul. You and the rest of Falling in Reverse are one of the few bands that put out a C.D(example), and every song is good. You don't just have 1 or 2.
Now beyond that, I respect you as a person. You have always been so loving and appreciative towards your fans and you can tell its 100% authentic.
You don't mince words and you have always expressed yourself to the fullest and I respect how far you have come even when others tried to knock you down.
Ok now to what my main comments are lol
I personally listen to Ben Shapiro alot and I occasionally listen to Knowles. I'm happy to see you listen to what he says and how he interprets your song and instead of bashing him, you defend him. It's so nice to see someone not vomit woke ideology lol
And I know by no means your conservative either lol
But ya, in the end, isn't what music all about is how each individual percives or interprets that song when they hear it?
Wow. Love this guy spitting truth. Just calling something a "pandemic" doesn't make it so. I've been saying that since the beginning. I love this.
Respect Bro! Keep fighting the good fight.
Ronnie is the man!
I've got mad respect for him
Love the truth . Best to you man
Seeing Falling in reverse this August and I can’t wait. My second concert.
Good shit man keep doing you and being real
This gave me even more respect for Ronnie. This was an awesome reactionception.
