If you think this is a bad situation, you haven't seen any bad situations. IF you couldn't get the vocal mic up and then walked the gig I'd tell you to keep on walking.... I only left a console once when a drunk guy was acting like he was going to knife me, and there was no security at mix position. Packed house and I had some lunatic stalking me.

Personally I think the people on stage should do whatever they fuck they want, and if you think otherwise you are a P U S S Y - B E G I N N E R and you probably suck at mixing sound since you do not actually care about it or the music artist as a person.

@@musicilya6674 The main desk crashed when the engineer saved an update on the showfile. Moved to the other console, and the output patches were set up wrong (LCR instead of LRM). I think the engineer did a pretty good job getting a turnaround like that so fast, (they were back working in under two minutes) and then mixing the rest of the show with the rig totally mispatched.
Folks need to realise we’re not there to make you sound bad on purpose. We take pride in what we do and try our best to give the performer and their audience the best sound possible. Looks like they didn’t bring their own FOH engineer...that’s on them. No way they’d talk to one their own like that, surely? If there was something up with FOH, someone should have communicated with stage manager to relay the message to monitors/band. Give them a chance to fix the issues.
It honestly looks and sounds to me as if something has happened to that particular array, also note that in many places sound levels are legally stipulated and an event shut down if that level is exceeded. Also, as a sound engineer and equipment owner myself, I wouldn't take his crap, he would instantly be muted and unless he started acting like a professional, wouldn't be turned back on, sound companies don't spend thousands on speakers and microphones to have them treated like this when we have a problem.
@@snoolee7950 , you're obviously a moron that actually thinks you have a clue about what you're talking about. Unless you were at FOH, you don't know WTF you're talking about.
When good musicians experience technical problems, they do an acoustic or acapella song, or anything like that. That would show that they stand over the technical problems they face and would give the sound engineer a few minutes to fix the problem.
No, the sound issue here was that the house PA (or fest PA) wasn't broadcasting vocals- doesn't matter if they go acoustic or not, it's in front of like 10,000 people. The only people that would be able to hear any acoustic set would be the first 2 rows. Sadly, a lot of bands in our genre depend on our hardware and that of the venue we're playing at. This was indeed an issue that they had to wait out
LMAO Have fun doing an acoustic or acapella set at a festival 😂😂 P.s. a band shouldn't have to deal with the fact that the sound engineer is purposely fucking with their set all because he isn't a fan
Very few of their sounds can would sound good accapella or acoustic plus that’s not the show the fans came for. They wanted to give their fans the show they wanted
I am a professional lighting director, my family has been in the business for many years. Both my brothers are lds, my father is a producer. To artists: if you want to get involved in production, do it all the way. Michael Jackson or Beyoncee style. But if you dont, then you cant complain about the sound during the show expecting things to work out; there are riders, producers, promoters, money involved, all of this weeks or months in advance. Thats what we get hired to do. If you accepted to play in the gig and that was the gear they gave you (which your production manager and sound enginner approved), it is too late to complain. You are supposed to be a pro and trust their judgement. I wonder what would happen if they carbon copy him in every email, since he wants to be so on top of things. He would stop doing this and start to trust his technicians in a heart beat. This only shows how much of an amateur this guy is. Hell I have never heard of him. Now, if the problem was his sound engineer, then finish the gig, and fire him. This only makes him look like a spoiled asshole.
Everybody has to do the right job, so if the sound system doesn't work how he is supposed to sing, it s disrespectful, he came to shout in a mic that is barely muted... P.s. Ronnie is a good guy and is way far to be an amateur,

He didn't get mad in Melbourne on stage, but having this the SECOND DAY IN A ROW I CAN 100% UNDERSTAND WHY HE WAS SO FRUSTRATED UP THERE. We were so frustrated in the crowd in Melbourne! I was having basic everyday voice conversations with my friend next to me just three rows from the barrier at and I could hear her better than I could hear them somehow.

there are a ton of great artists who travel without mix engineer. I've mixed enough of them. For example, sold out shows Tracy Chapman, Missing Persons, Tone Loc, Vanilla Ice. All of these played big-ass shows and did not have their own mix engineers. Of course, with a pro sound company they sound great since staff can mix.
A lot of people that tour with these big festival companies are provided with sound engineers. If they were told they are required to tour with one they would. However it’s part of the contract a lot of the time
You know what professionalism is? This is the opposite of that. I remember when Taylor Swift's mic went out on the Eras Tour, and she started pounding on the speakers. Oh wait... no she didn't. After realizing that her mic was out, she checked the switch, made sure that the bottom of the mic was seated properly (sometimes the battery compartment is loose) and did all of the right things (including laughing and keeping her audience entertained) until the sound guy could bring her another mic. Its weird what just a decade or so of being on tour can do for someone.

Maybe if the sound guy wasn't a piece of shit and didn't purposely fuck with the PA then none of this would of happened. But no. The sound engineer had to be a petty wanker and fuck with a bands set because he wasn't a fan
alternative press? i never knew about this guy until i saw this video posted in a group of A/V technicians. he's being a drama queen to stroke his ego, the hate is well deserved.
Yes because people totally don't hate him because he was literally damaging expensive tech equipment with a microphone, what kind of fucking moron believes that the press force everyone to think a certain way? Imagine that fucking tech guy getting boo'd by a crowd and a lead singer of a band.
@@jackn8110 People often assume that others will make the same faults they do. When you are a habitual liar, you always think people are lying to you. When you listen to others for your opinion, you assume others do the same.
The sound people get paid by somebody for Idunno. Making fucking sound? So when there's no sound. Who has the right to be angry? The band that needs sound? Yeah.
Things go wrong. It happens. This childish meltdown is going viral in the Roadie chat groups. I'm going to go out on a limb and estimate Ronnie will have sound problems at his next 5 shows.
You're not wrong. There are a few other videos from his other shows of him going off on the engineers. Nobody has wanted to work with them for a long time just because of him. My guess is that event was just being mixed by a minimum wage freelance guy who just wanted an extra few quid in his back pocket.
Banging on a Speaker with a mic is probably the worst thing you can do to improve anything to the sound. I hate when people don't focus on their performance and trying to find some scapegoat to blame, don't know that guy "Ronnie Radke" but I know now he's not worth listening
@@snoolee7950 you can be pissed off AND apologize to your audience while waiting for the problem to be fixed. Or maybe he could just tour with his own soundguy but it seems he can't find one anymore
@@ericronsse5225 No, nobody will work with him now, since he treats his crew like shit and takes his anger out on the techs. This was probably an unlucky freelance worker from the rental company.
@@VeryMildNoodles 😂 the sound engineer was purposely ducking with the sound during both of falling in reverses sets. Ronnie handled the situation perfectly. You don't fuck with somebody's set and expect to get away with it
FOH engineer myself, I would have muted him as he said f*ck you... That's far beyond professionalism, especially for a huge band like them. Yeah gear doesn't work sometimes & you can have some issues with it, but give the crew some time to fix it & talk with the audience in a normal way, make some jokes on your costs or play an acoustic set while things are getting fixed. But you know, when something doesn't work like it used to, we're always getting blamed. Even when the catering is bad. The crew is guilty. 😂
@@snoolee7950 Meant it just in general, that it's often not the personnel, which is having problems. It also can be equipment, that's not working, even when it's likely rare, but it happens.
Lmao, don't fuck with people's line of work then. The sound engineer needs a kick in the head for turning off the main PA on purpose to piss Ronnie off
@@jamanak6457 completely wrong, it happened both days of the festival and it only happened to falling in reverse, the sound guy literally pre organised it with his buddies before the festival cause he knew he was going to be working the sound desk while they were performing (yes I know precisely what happened because I was literally by the sound booth while this was all happening) surprise surprise you could hear everything they were saying cause they cut the sound
@@broadacresyungbuddha8388 You moron. For starters, it was a completely different sound company in Melbourne! I KNOW what happened, it was the audio console that crashed. It was restarted and the show continued.

What happened to Ronnie Radke from Escape the Fate? 1 Answer Lagan Mangla Lagan Mangla, studied at Ryan International School Answered Nov 3, 2016 In May 2006, Radke was involved in an altercation in Las Vegas that resulted in the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Michael Cook While Radke did not shoot Cook, he was indicted on battery charges, while the man who shot Cook claimed self-defense. These charges against Radke, combined with his past offenses of drug possession, led to a sentence of five years' probation. Radke failed to report to his probation officer and was arrested in June 2008, where he was sentenced to four years in prison. However, he only served two and a half years of his sentence before being released. Radke was officially kicked out of Escape the Fate in mid-2008, and replaced by former Blessthefall vocalist Craig Mabbit. The single "Webs We Weave", which was meant to be released in 2008, would have been the third single from the debut album by Escape the Fate, but after the depart. Max Green, bassist of Escape the Fate, stated about Ronnie's law problems that, "First we couldn't tour out of the country, then out of the state." In an interview in prison, Radke said that the real culprits would be Chase Rader and Max Green, the first to be armed at the time of the fight, and the second was caused by the fight, but the two were acquitted claiming self-defense. Radke was released from prison on December 12, 2010. Since being released from prison in 2010, Radke has been arrested twice, the first being an August 6, 2012 arrest for alleged domestic violence against his girlfriend. Three hearings were scheduled, none of which Ronnie attended. According to Sergeant Tom Lorenz, the prosecutor of the County of Los Angeles issued the arrest warrant after Radke's girlfriend told police that he had hit her on May 1. Radke's arrest occurred without incident and he was released after paying $30,000 bail. After the publication of his arrest, Ronnie published through his profile on Microblog that not everything can be considered truthful and asked for his fans to "not believe everything that appears online". Later, on September 29, 2012, during a concert with Falling in Reverse, Radke was arrested and charged with simple and aggravated assault following a show at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson Township, NJ. Towards the end of the band's performance, Radke threw three microphone stands into the crowd; two fans were hit and sustained head injuries. One victim was a 16-year-old girl who was taken to the hospital for treatment of a cut she received to the head, while the other was a 24-year-old man who was treated on the scene. Radke posted bail and was released. In the aftermath of the incident, Six Flags Great Adventure banned any future hard rock or heavy metal bands from performing in their theme park
Would it be deemed as in appropriate to drop a truss length on his head. Or out him in the sound tech position with a piece of shit smacking a mic against the speaker. Big up the the sound tech though there was no feedback 😂😂😂
My guy you are playing in the middle of the day you trash the FOH OP probably a sleep. You are NOT a head liner you are just a band to fill in time until the head liner so you can chill. Aight imma head out.
Headliner or no headliner, there's not a single engineer on the planet paid well enough to deal with that shit. I'd respect his decision to just call off the show once this shit starts off. hats off to the engineer for the quick turnaround though.
@@snoolee7950 Desks crash. Things have problems. If you have any experience you should know how to fucking deal with it and stop being such a bitch. Every time I see one of your comments it pisses me off even more that you're misrepresenting a whole industry so badly.
They aren’t though they have the number one hit rock song depending on how long ago this is, and the lead singer is rich so Idk what the fuck happened.
Its so annoying that so many hate on him, dude being on tour is frustrating and hard work, he's probably overwhelmed. This man is so beyond talented in so many ways and everyone ignores it. He's done.so.much to.change as a human. He deserves a fucking mic that works. Lol
@@BrettNoack Actually? Really? damaging the F.O.H system for the WHOLE festival (not just for him!) and acting like an unprofessional knob jockey. The problem wasn't the speakers or the expensive hand held microphone he was hammering with! NO RESPECT for other peoples equipment, deserved to be thrown off stage!!
@@BrettNoack What right? He ain't the one who owns that equipment. Potentially damaging the sound equipment is not a right you have unless it's literally your own stuff. Just because you paid your portion to get the sound company there with their equipment doesn't make it yours.
@@BrettNoack do you have any idea how much that stuff costs? Audio engineer was doing everyone a favor. That music sounded like shit anyway. No talent hack
@@BrettNoack nah dude hes not within his rights. The sound engineers were probably working as hard as they could to sort the problem,thats their job. With out him damaging the equipment and acting so unprofessional
This is not being a rockstar - this is being a prick. I find it sad to see someone at the age of 35 act this way. Respect to the sound crew and everyone involved in the production, the problem was solved!
Haha you obviously aren't aware that the sound engineers were purposely fucking with the sound during both of falling in reverses sets because they don't like the band. Ronnie handled this situation perfectly, the sound engineer needs a kick in the head
It’s mad cute how some of the comments on here are defending the sound guy when he’s the one fucking up the experience that the fans paid for. Ronnie had every right to react that way. People look for any excuse to hate on him for whatever reason.
There’s comments stating what went wrong with the set and it was obviously out of the sound guys control. Running live sound doesn’t always go smoothly and shit happens but the way that Ronnie reacted was totally unprofessional and just idiotic to think that even if everything got fixed that the sound guy would start playing stuff through the speakers while he’s having a tantrum and bashing them with the mic
Unbelievably unprofessional from the artist. How’s the show meant to happen with that attitude? Ronnie should remember what matters, the show and the punters, not him and his BS. Problems happen, it’s up to the artist and crew to negotiate the gig together.
The fans are the ones getting fucked out of the experience that they paid for and as an artist, Ronnie has a right to be pissed off. Especially considering it was the second day in a row that the sound was messed up at the venue. The people running the venue are asshats and only care about making money. So therefore, your banter is irrelevant.
Fuuuuuuck yes! This is why I fucking love Ronnie! Dude is a legend for this! The respect for his fan is everything! I'd be fucking posed too! 10/10 agree
I don't blame him for getting mad. A bunch of people paid money to see a show and the equipment goes out? Yeah, I'd be pissed to. Ronnie did overreact, don't get me wrong, but I would be beyond pissed off.
Graveyard Baby but you can’t blame equipment failure (of that was the issue) on the sound guy. Sometimes electric equipment fails. So you be patient while it gets fixed - by the sound guy. This guy is acting like an entitled kindergartener.
@@Graeck No, Ronnie is acting like something got fucked up, and he can't fix it. Yeah, shit gets messed up from time to time. But if you would do your research, as I did, you would know this was the second time he had played that venue, and both times, the equipment got fucked up. There's no fault here.
@@clutchcat4870 He didn't have to be a dick to the sound engineer though. Its stressful enough trying to get your show back up without the artist talking shit to you.

Now there is all this complex proprietary shit that is not as durable. -or sound providers need to be prepared to send a mix to mains from the monitor console.

@@snoolee7950 So was the talent unprofessional and hitting the mains with the mic if they did fix the sound at that point the system would feed back. Plus he is potentially damaging the mic at the same time. I have ran small side stages at a folk fest mostly 500 plus people. No not big but all the acts are happy even when things happen. But they act mature and the issue gets fixed fast the audience is happy. In the end that is what matters. Not sure why your defending this singers actions.

@@broadacresyungbuddha8388 Are you fucking serious? It was an equipment issue that caused it, not the audio engineer!
@@BillyTheKidLawrence I did watch the video, I I know what happened.
@@BillyTheKidLawrence I did watch the video. I’m a professional audio engineer, I know the guy who was mixing the sound and the company he works for.
RIP DEREK JONES !!
i just noticed it says good thi g for the title
Good to see everyone still hates on Ronnie because Alternative Press tells them too
alternative press? i never knew about this guy until i saw this video posted in a group of A/V technicians. he's being a drama queen to stroke his ego, the hate is well deserved.
Yes because people totally don't hate him because he was literally damaging expensive tech equipment with a microphone, what kind of fucking moron believes that the press force everyone to think a certain way? Imagine that fucking tech guy getting boo'd by a crowd and a lead singer of a band.
@@jackn8110 People often assume that others will make the same faults they do. When you are a habitual liar, you always think people are lying to you. When you listen to others for your opinion, you assume others do the same.
Pretty much looks like a total douchebag. Doesn't need any help from the press.
Bet it was his own Mic and his just playing
The sound people get paid by somebody for Idunno. Making fucking sound? So when there's no sound. Who has the right to be angry? The band that needs sound? Yeah.
* i swear god, i will fight you* 👁👄👁
Standard good things fucking things up
Things go wrong. It happens. This childish meltdown is going viral in the Roadie chat groups. I'm going to go out on a limb and estimate Ronnie will have sound problems at his next 5 shows.
You're not wrong. There are a few other videos from his other shows of him going off on the engineers. Nobody has wanted to work with them for a long time just because of him. My guess is that event was just being mixed by a minimum wage freelance guy who just wanted an extra few quid in his back pocket.
It could be so many other reasons but everyone just thinks it feed back.
Cant blame him for getting mad. He as so many ppl waiting for him to peform.
There is not need to speak to the sound engineer in that way. It was not his fault, it was an equipment failure.
Did anyone know what happend?
Sound wasn’t working
Ohh why did the sound engineer did something wrong?
Ej Casareo yeah
Console was set to LCR but sound system was set up for LR. This meant any sound not panned left or right went through a non-existant center channel
Banging on a Speaker with a mic is probably the worst thing you can do to improve anything to the sound. I hate when people don't focus on their performance and trying to find some scapegoat to blame, don't know that guy "Ronnie Radke" but I know now he's not worth listening
the mains PA is off. you're hearing the stage monitors. I agree the guy should be pissed.
@@snoolee7950 you can be pissed off AND apologize to your audience while waiting for the problem to be fixed. Or maybe he could just tour with his own soundguy but it seems he can't find one anymore
@@ericronsse5225 No, nobody will work with him now, since he treats his crew like shit and takes his anger out on the techs. This was probably an unlucky freelance worker from the rental company.
@@VeryMildNoodles 😂 the sound engineer was purposely ducking with the sound during both of falling in reverses sets. Ronnie handled the situation perfectly.
You don't fuck with somebody's set and expect to get away with it
FOH engineer myself, I would have muted him as he said f*ck you... That's far beyond professionalism, especially for a huge band like them. Yeah gear doesn't work sometimes & you can have some issues with it, but give the crew some time to fix it & talk with the audience in a normal way, make some jokes on your costs or play an acoustic set while things are getting fixed. But you know, when something doesn't work like it used to, we're always getting blamed. Even when the catering is bad. The crew is guilty. 😂
I think the main PA was muted (foh console issue perhaps). This sounds like we were hearing him through the monitors.
Lennard tell me more about this "gear that does not work sometimes." Exactly what gear are you referring to? Specifically. I want to know.
@@snoolee7950 Meant it just in general, that it's often not the personnel, which is having problems. It also can be equipment, that's not working, even when it's likely rare, but it happens.
No human should ever talk to another human like that, whatever the circumstances. Anyone who disagrees needs to grow up.
Jamanak, I don't like how you're talking to me. You've hurt my feelings and esteem and I think you need to grow up.
Lmao, don't fuck with people's line of work then. The sound engineer needs a kick in the head for turning off the main PA on purpose to piss Ronnie off
@@broadacresyungbuddha8388 Have you got any idea what happened? The sound engineer didn't turn it off - it was a problem with the mixer's showfile
@@jamanak6457 completely wrong, it happened both days of the festival and it only happened to falling in reverse, the sound guy literally pre organised it with his buddies before the festival cause he knew he was going to be working the sound desk while they were performing (yes I know precisely what happened because I was literally by the sound booth while this was all happening) surprise surprise you could hear everything they were saying cause they cut the sound
@@broadacresyungbuddha8388 You moron. For starters, it was a completely different sound company in Melbourne! I KNOW what happened, it was the audio console that crashed. It was restarted and the show continued.
Ayye that's the way, don't let people fuck up your set on purpose and get away with it
Saw him in Melbourne the day before this Festival in Sydney, the sound was SOOOOO SHIT in Melbourne too. And they were the only band that it was shit for!!! Saw them at Soundwave festival in Adelaide a few years ago and the sound was PERFECT!!! He didn't get mad in Melbourne on stage, but having this the SECOND DAY IN A ROW I CAN 100% UNDERSTAND WHY HE WAS SO FRUSTRATED UP THERE. We were so frustrated in the crowd in Melbourne! I was having basic everyday voice conversations with my friend next to me just three rows from the barrier at and I could hear her better than I could hear them somehow. The band that had been on the stage adjacent to his had been so so so loud before their band got on. Absolutely shit tech/sound issues.
....and with all that fuckery... they proceeded to carry on and still sound like shit
A sound man can only do so much 😁
What happened to Ronnie Radke from Escape the Fate?
1 Answer
Lagan Mangla
Lagan Mangla, studied at Ryan International School
Answered Nov 3, 2016
In May 2006, Radke was involved in an altercation in Las Vegas that resulted in the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Michael Cook
While Radke did not shoot Cook, he was indicted on battery charges, while the man who shot Cook claimed self-defense. These charges against Radke, combined with his past offenses of drug possession, led to a sentence of five years' probation.
Radke failed to report to his probation officer and was arrested in June 2008, where he was sentenced to four years in prison. However, he only served two and a half years of his sentence before being released. Radke was officially kicked out of Escape the Fate in mid-2008, and replaced by former Blessthefall vocalist Craig Mabbit.
The single "Webs We Weave", which was meant to be released in 2008, would have been the third single from the debut album by Escape the Fate, but after the depart.
Max Green, bassist of Escape the Fate, stated about Ronnie's law problems that, "First we couldn't tour out of the country, then out of the state." In an interview in prison, Radke said that the real culprits would be Chase Rader and Max Green, the first to be armed at the time of the fight, and the second was caused by the fight, but the two were acquitted claiming self-defense. Radke was released from prison on December 12, 2010.
Since being released from prison in 2010, Radke has been arrested twice, the first being an August 6, 2012 arrest for alleged domestic violence against his girlfriend. Three hearings were scheduled, none of which Ronnie attended.
According to Sergeant Tom Lorenz, the prosecutor of the County of Los Angeles issued the arrest warrant after Radke's girlfriend told police that he had hit her on May 1. Radke's arrest occurred without incident and he was released after paying $30,000 bail.
After the publication of his arrest, Ronnie published through his profile on Microblog that not everything can be considered truthful and asked for his fans to "not believe everything that appears online".
Later, on September 29, 2012, during a concert with Falling in Reverse, Radke was arrested and charged with simple and aggravated assault following a show at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson Township, NJ. Towards the end of the band's performance, Radke threw three microphone stands into the crowd; two fans were hit and sustained head injuries. One victim was a 16-year-old girl who was taken to the hospital for treatment of a cut she received to the head, while the other was a 24-year-old man who was treated on the scene.
Radke posted bail and was released.
In the aftermath of the incident, Six Flags Great Adventure banned any future hard rock or heavy metal bands from performing in their theme park
so the guy is basically trash...
What is a Ronnie Radke? No FOH guy? I wonder why? SMH
I will fight you
Something tells me it would not turn out well for "rockstar" boy.
@@PhilGBeebe well he did get that one guy killed for no reason.
Wow......
Would it be deemed as in appropriate to drop a truss length on his head. Or out him in the sound tech position with a piece of shit smacking a mic against the speaker. Big up the the sound tech though there was no feedback 😂😂😂
If you play in a band, sound issues are not trivial . You cant hear yourself + your band mates and whole performance is ruined.
He could hear himself fine, monitors were working... It was FOH issue and he was a giant baby about it
My guy you are playing in the middle of the day you trash the FOH OP probably a sleep. You are NOT a head liner you are just a band to fill in time until the head liner so you can chill. Aight imma head out.
Headliner or no headliner, there's not a single engineer on the planet paid well enough to deal with that shit. I'd respect his decision to just call off the show once this shit starts off.
hats off to the engineer for the quick turnaround though.
Sounds like the board did a self reboot.
who is this even
video of a shitty sound company that can't put fader-up on a vocal mic.
@@snoolee7950 Desks crash. Things have problems. If you have any experience you should know how to fucking deal with it and stop being such a bitch. Every time I see one of your comments it pisses me off even more that you're misrepresenting a whole industry so badly.
What's doing?
"BAND TOO CHEAP TO HIRE PROFESSIONAL SOUNDMAN GETS WHAT THEY PAY FOR"
They aren’t though they have the number one hit rock song depending on how long ago this is, and the lead singer is rich so Idk what the fuck happened.
Its so annoying that so many hate on him, dude being on tour is frustrating and hard work, he's probably overwhelmed. This man is so beyond talented in so many ways and everyone ignores it. He's done.so.much to.change as a human. He deserves a fucking mic that works. Lol
A lot of guys out there when they say “I’ll fight you” 9 times outta 10, there definitely not gonna fight. Ronnie says it, I believe him.
What a knob. Hope they make him pay for it.
Actually.. he's well within his right. He should also be charging the sound company!
@@BrettNoack Actually? Really? damaging the F.O.H system for the WHOLE festival (not just for him!) and acting like an unprofessional knob jockey. The problem wasn't the speakers or the expensive hand held microphone he was hammering with! NO RESPECT for other peoples equipment, deserved to be thrown off stage!!
@@BrettNoack What right? He ain't the one who owns that equipment. Potentially damaging the sound equipment is not a right you have unless it's literally your own stuff. Just because you paid your portion to get the sound company there with their equipment doesn't make it yours.
@@BrettNoack do you have any idea how much that stuff costs? Audio engineer was doing everyone a favor. That music sounded like shit anyway. No talent hack
@@BrettNoack nah dude hes not within his rights. The sound engineers were probably working as hard as they could to sort the problem,thats their job. With out him damaging the equipment and acting so unprofessional
Who the F is this guy? HAHA
Ronnie radke of falling in reverse
Who the f are you @Noel
Krusty krabs
Egg.
Gente Imbecil é assim mesmo...
This is not being a rockstar - this is being a prick. I find it sad to see someone at the age of 35 act this way. Respect to the sound crew and everyone involved in the production, the problem was solved!
But you also have to realize that it’s frustrating for them too. It wasn’t the first night it had happened
This is why i fell for him
TIT.....If there is a technical problem then the guys are sure to be working on it.
Haha you obviously aren't aware that the sound engineers were purposely fucking with the sound during both of falling in reverses sets because they don't like the band. Ronnie handled this situation perfectly, the sound engineer needs a kick in the head
Legit everyone in the comments is a clown.
brus li including you?
I was there and this was funny as fuck 😂
It’s mad cute how some of the comments on here are defending the sound guy when he’s the one fucking up the experience that the fans paid for. Ronnie had every right to react that way. People look for any excuse to hate on him for whatever reason.
There’s comments stating what went wrong with the set and it was obviously out of the sound guys control. Running live sound doesn’t always go smoothly and shit happens but the way that Ronnie reacted was totally unprofessional and just idiotic to think that even if everything got fixed that the sound guy would start playing stuff through the speakers while he’s having a tantrum and bashing them with the mic
Unbelievably unprofessional from the artist. How’s the show meant to happen with that attitude? Ronnie should remember what matters, the show and the punters, not him and his BS. Problems happen, it’s up to the artist and crew to negotiate the gig together.
The fans are the ones getting fucked out of the experience that they paid for and as an artist, Ronnie has a right to be pissed off. Especially considering it was the second day in a row that the sound was messed up at the venue. The people running the venue are asshats and only care about making money. So therefore, your banter is irrelevant.
I love Ronnie so much
probably a amp issue...
According to Reddit, the desk crashed when they were changing show files.
@@VeryMildNoodles makes sense ... been there. but not right at show time
You banging a mic that cost more than your performance btw nah as a sound guy I would’ve made you pay for it
Fuuuuuuck yes! This is why I fucking love Ronnie! Dude is a legend for this! The respect for his fan is everything! I'd be fucking posed too! 10/10 agree
Wtf ..
never even heard of this guy, hell grow up one day
clown
What a massive baby.
I don't blame him for getting mad. A bunch of people paid money to see a show and the equipment goes out? Yeah, I'd be pissed to. Ronnie did overreact, don't get me wrong, but I would be beyond pissed off.
Graveyard Baby but you can’t blame equipment failure (of that was the issue) on the sound guy. Sometimes electric equipment fails. So you be patient while it gets fixed - by the sound guy. This guy is acting like an entitled kindergartener.
@@Graeck No, Ronnie is acting like something got fucked up, and he can't fix it. Yeah, shit gets messed up from time to time. But if you would do your research, as I did, you would know this was the second time he had played that venue, and both times, the equipment got fucked up. There's no fault here.
@@clutchcat4870 He didn't have to be a dick to the sound engineer though. Its stressful enough trying to get your show back up without the artist talking shit to you.
Maybe he was an asshat the first night too. Hmmmm
OMG and all those hours in an airplane to get there
All of that just to scream into a mic when it's fixed. Pathetic, also no respect to the engineer.
Common I would be mad 2 I mean if theirs no sound then what's the point in being their and if the engineer can't do their job right then what's the point in working as one
Riiiight, no one has ever wasted 2 minutes of anyone's day
@@shakiragarcia3545 Being a Sound Engineer is being able to troubleshoot. Sometimes it takes more time than it needs. From what I got is the FOH console wouldn't boot or some other issue as the Monitor Console was still feeding in their wedges. It happens, but when it does wait for the people that know how to fix it do their job. Sometimes it's the gear not functioning.
@@nicholasrobert9104 fucking digital consoles have ruined everything. recently saw another video, sold out show digital console fail due to audience throwing a beer bottle spilled in it. analog consoles sounded good and were bullet proof. Soundcraft and Midas made the last ones and stopped, MH and Heritage. Never to be made again. Now there is all this complex proprietary shit that is not as durable. -or sound providers need to be prepared to send a mix to mains from the monitor console. Seems like they're caught with their pants down when this happens. And from the comments, this wannabee "I'm a mix engineer" pussies are not any kind of engineers. yeek. Did I say that? YEEK. people have such low standards, it's incredible. So many people are corporate-stupid now.
Not much of an engineer if you can't do fader up on vocal during a show.
Things would not end well for that guy back stage. That guy is a punk. Turn up the suck.
I want to repeat. He is a punk.
Radke failed to report to his probation officer and was arrested in June 2008, where he was sentenced to four years in prison. However, he only served two and a half years of his sentence before being released.

Really stupid guy, security should have kicked him out
What an awful man.
For all you people getting pissy, here's what Ronnie said in reply:
It’s a show. Giving the crowd what they want. 16 hour flight for my fans to walk onto stage two days in a row to fans telling me they can’t hear us. You’ll never understand. and that’s okay. It’s a show. no reason to be mad HAHAHAJA

So ...by his response we are supposed to view his behavior as OK. NFW!!!
@@mpslevan Exactly. He can get fucked. He can have pink at 0FS straight down his ears.
Maann, his fans are just eating his ass what's the point.
Cut the mic.
Dont fuck with the crew...
@@glowinthedarkent shitty crew embarrassment to the industry
@@snoolee7950 So was the talent unprofessional and hitting the mains with the mic if they did fix the sound at that point the system would feed back. Plus he is potentially damaging the mic at the same time. I have ran small side stages at a folk fest mostly 500 plus people. No not big but all the acts are happy even when things happen. But they act mature and the issue gets fixed fast the audience is happy. In the end that is what matters. Not sure why your defending this singers actions. If it was your equipment would you like your mic treated like a hammer.?
Since you seem to be an expert build a system and run it. Instead of being a critic.!!
