Falling In Reverse has just dropped a new track titled “Ronald,” featuring Alex Terrible from Slaughter To Prevail and Tech N9ne. While the song has garnered positive feedback from metal enthusiasts, Ronnie Radke faces accusations of mimicking Alex Terrible’s vocal style.
To address these claims, Radke posted a video on his TikTok account. He began by reading a critical comment about his latest song:
“Dude’s really gonna pretend he did Alex Terrible’s vocals? This is proof that star power doesn’t necessarily make a good song. Tech and Alex are better than this…”
Radke responded, highlighting the long-standing skepticism about his abilities:
“Guys, I don’t think you realize when you think you’re insulting and you don’t believe I can achieve or do things with my vocal abilities or any other aspects of my life, so you just post these comments, right? But what you’re not realizing is, those are my vocals. So all you’re doing is complimenting me and I know you don’t want to hear that because you don’t want to compliment me. You don’t want it to be me, you want it to be someone else to take the credit for all the good stuff about anything.”
He continued:
“I hate to break it to you but most of those vocals are just my vocals. All the vocals you hear my mouth moving are my vocals. Some of the devil vocals are moving that you hear, are my vocals. I’m sorry man, I wish you well. Maybe next time.”
Although Radke often finds himself at the center of controversies and disputes within the rock community, his relationship with Alex Terrible remains amicable. However, his issues lie with certain factions of the band’s fanbase.
Radke expressed his thoughts on the metal scene and what he perceives as fake fans via X (formerly Twitter), criticizing those who attend shows just to cause trouble. He specifically called out fans of Slaughter To Prevail:
“Who remembers when Bring Me The Horizon broke through the scene barrier, and all the hardcore kids got pissed and came to their show to try to fight them? Slaughter To Prevail everybody loved 2 months ago until the band started exploding and rising above that small venue hardcore scene now they are Nazis and Trump lovers.”
Despite his disdain for certain fans, Radke maintains respect for the band members themselves:
“The ironic thing is most people in hardcore scene talk about how communism is a good thing in our capitalist country when Alex and band left Russia a communist country to America for a better life. I know Alex, and the band. He’s a wonderful human being.”
