Ronnie Radke came back online and blasted other rockers in a series of TikTok videos.
A TikTok user commented:
“You know who else has been doing this for live shows for years?? Yeah… Chris Motionless. He just didn’t make it permanent. Lol.”
How Did Ronnie Respond?
Falling In Reverse vocalist replied to those words in his video:
“Hi, I’m back. I just gotta. I know you’re not comparing my permanent blacked-out body that I had to endure this pain in this spiritual awakening that I had to do with Chris Motionless applying some paint that he got from Wes Borland 20 years ago. There is Wes Borland [showing a photo of him]. Just paint it up. I don’t know if you’re old enough to remember, but like, about 10 years ago, Black Veil Brides was revamping the whole paint thing. I was never a paint guy.”
He went on to talk about Black Veil Brides:
“Here’s Black Veil Brides back in the day with the paint [showing a photo of the band]. And guess who started doing it right after him? Just take a wild guess. Ding ding ding. Chris Motionless. Because he just doesn’t have an original thought in his body, man. And by the way, shout out to Andy Biersack and ‘CC’ from Black Veil Brides. I love you guys. Yeah, and MGK getting his whole body blacked out and tattooed. Cool. Good for him. It’s just a little close to what I’ve done.”
Radke Knows He’s Not The First One With Blackout Tattoos
Radke recalled seeing blacked-out tattooed sleeves in the ’90s:
“Yeah, I’ve seen all these sites, and the guy from Rage Against the Machine in the ’90s got a blacked-out sleeve, which is like, so sick. Imagine in the ’90s, blacked-out tattooed sleeve. Literally, nobody had it. I’m not the first to get blackout tattoos. But come on, man. I mean, I got my whole body done, and then a year later, the dude does it. I don’t know, man.”
The singer kept slamming Chris Motionless:
“Anyways, I don’t know why you guys are so obsessed with pitting me against Chris Motionless. My band is bigger. I’m doing a lot better. They’re doing okay. They would be the openers for my band if I ever decided to do a tour with them. And you just have to live with that and accept that. They know that. I know that. And I got a lot of secrets on them, and I’m never gonna tell you guys their secrets because that be messed up.”
In his follow-up videos, Ronnie replies to criticisms saying his band is bad. He says he’s rich because of music. In late February, Radke had disappeared from social media, and Falling In Reverse’s website was also down. People wondered why this vanishing happened. They were not sure if it was on purpose for publicity or because of platform rules.
