We recently brought you our recap of the Black Veil Brides Black Mass Tour as it made a stop in San Francisco at the legendary Warfield Theater. You can read more about the whole night here. We know that if you are like us, you are addicted to Falling In Reverse and you need more of a fix, so here you go.

Falling In Reverse did it again as they always do….. Put on a great show and they seem to push the bar higher each time, and easily meeting it. Ronnie shined with his over the top spectacular stage presence. Without a doubt, he is the Champion of the stage! One of the reasons that Falling in Reverse is so damn fun is because of Mr. Ronnie Radke, who is a true entertainer in all aspects. There is no denying it. This is one guy who really proves that no matter how people try to bring him down, he always rises above it and comes back even twice as strong.  He literally makes sure that everyone in that venue is having the time of their life, singing along and having fun. And on this night at The Warfield, that is exactly what happened. It was wild to hear what was nearly the entire audience singing along to all the songs in the set! If we had an award to give out this year, it would be for Frontman of the Year and it would deservedly go to Mr. Ronnie Radke.

Their set had a cool backdrop with the middle fingers in the air adorning  two basketball hoops which went great with their Falling In Reverse team uniforms. They involved the audience as they attempted to make shots into the baskets and no worries when they missed, since they were then given t-shirts. It was an all around fun night and you had only hoped for more music from them.  They even ended their set by playing The Drug In Me is You, not only once…. but twice which brought the excitement of the crowd to paramount levels.

Jacky Vincent was a madman on his purple custom Dean and he whipped out his sweet solos without missing a note. He was jumping around the stage and feeding the audience with his abundant energy.  You would then look to the right and catch Derek Jones on guitar and J. Wolf on bass treating the crowd to their own stage antics. I loved Ryan as he was breaking in his new Truth Drum kit. He is fierce on backing vocals and drums and yet, makes it look so easy as he always has an infectious smile on his face.  Everyone in the venue including these musicians were having an awesome time. Check out a slideshow of photos from their set:

If The Black Mass 2014 Tour is coming to a venue even remotely near you, I would strongly urge you to make it to one of the shows. You will find yourself at what I think is the Best Tour of 2014!

Here we are coming down to the last week of Vans Warped Tour 2014. What a tour it has been and so many great bands have performed. We featured many awesome artists and tonight we want to bring you our coverage of one of our top highlights of 2014 Warped Tour. Of course, it goes to Falling in Reverse which is no surprise because every time we have seen them perform, they exceed our expectations, continuously raising the bar of entertainment for others. They truly shine when they are on the stage!

I think this must have been the 8th and 9th time seeing them perform in only a couple years and each time was better than the next. This was the first time seeing Max Green play bass in Falling in Reverse and he did a bass ass job. In case you missed it before, check out our interview with Max shortly after he announced he was joining Falling in Reverse:

One of the reasons that Falling in Reverse is so damn fun is because of Mr. Ronnie Radke, who is a true entertainer in all aspects. There is no denying it. This is one guy who really proves that no matter how people try to bring him down, he always rises above it and comes back even twice as strong. I love watching him perform and their set was one of the few that we made sure to catch again on our second day of coverage. All the guys are great but I also must point out that Derek was fierce and he really was rockin out during both sets. He truly stood out and worked the stage.  Check out all our photos by Rockin Ryan of their Northern California Warped Tour sets:

This is the last week of Warped Tour and if you are heading out, make sure to get their early and check what time Falling in Reverse is playing and DON’T MISS THEIR SET!  Also, hope you can join us when we catch them performing with Black Veil Brides on their Halloweekend.

  • October 31st   Tempe, AZ
  • November 1st   Los Angeles, CA

hell

Hell Rules Heaven is an amazing heavy modern rock band with metal influences from France. The band was out here in Los Angeles last month finishing up their album which is produced by Charles « Kallaghan » Massabo and is set for a release later this year. If you are not familiar with Hell Rules Heaven, they you have to first pick up their SINNERS album. You can pick it up on iTunes here. You have to check out their song, Hell’s Gate which features Shawter of Dagoba. We had the opportunity to interview Shawter last year and you can check that out here. It is an awesome track and you can listen to it here:

 

Hell Rules Heaven is:

  • Evan – Lead Guitar & Vocals
  • Gerry – Bass & Back Vocals/Scream
  • Thib – Guitars
  • Ronnie – Drums

We had the chance to chat with drummer, Ronnie as he was leaving the US last month to head home to France. Here is that brief interview:

* * * * * * * * *

Music Junkie Press:  First off, I understand you are in Los Angeles for the album process but where are you guys based out and where do you want us to list as where you are from? When formed?

Ronnie: So, we’re about go to the airport while i’m writing this. The record was just done few days ago!  We’re based in south of France, and were formed in 2010. It’s the third time we’re coming to Los Angeles. We already recorded our first album at the hobby shop studio in LA. We truly love this city!

Music Junkie Press: Do you have a title for the new album and who are you working with on it? Producer, Studio, etc?

Ronnie: We don’t have a definitive name for the album yet but we have few ideas for it…  The album is produced by Charles  “Kallaghan” Massabo. We also worked with some talented friends such as Boots (singer from Ze Gran Zeft and a good friend) and Bobby Falcon.

Music Junkie Press: We love your work on Hell’s Gate featuring Shawter, will this new album have any other artists featured?

Ronnie: Unfortunately I can’t tell you more about any other artists who was a part of it, but there might be some surprises…

Music Junkie Press:  When is an expected release date?

Ronnie: There is no release date yet because we’re talking with some labels and distribution for new contracts. Meanwhile, it might be released at the end of 2014.

Music Junkie Press:  We know that during your work on your new album, you got to experience the Earthquakes in LA, how was that for you guys? I am sure it is an indication that you guys are going to be ROCK us again with your new music!

Ronnie: That’s funny you’re talking about the earthquake that happened in LA, because we’re really not used to it, and it was kind of a surprise in the middle of the night! It created a weird atmosphere in the house, so we wrote a song right after it!  I don’t think we are as « Rock » as the first EP, it’s definitely more metal, but keeping our own rock vibe!

Music Junkie Press:  Anything you want to share about the album?

Ronnie: We’re all excited about these new targets and can’t wait to share it with you guys! The whole album is more violent, but also more melodic and catchy. That’s an important step in our sound!

Music Junkie Press: We understand that you worked with Ronnie Radke of Falling in Reverse on a song for the new album, can you tell us more about that?

Ronnie: Working with Ronnie Radke was really interesting. We learned a lot with him.  He is a really talented guy, and the result is awesome!

Music Junkie Press: Will you be planning on coming back to the US for a tour and what do you miss from LA when you return home?

Ronnie: We’re discussing with some labels for the distribution of that next record. these contracts will make it possible for us to tour across the USA, which is really hard to do on our own. We can’t wait to be back in the USA. We miss Los Angeles in every ways! But if I had to choose what we miss the most; i would say « Blue moon beer », Guitar center and Carl’s Junior! 😉

* * * * * * * * *

So get ready for some new music by Hell Rules Heaven and we can’t wait for them to come back to the US, hoping for a tour with lots of California shows to catch!  Make sure to visit their social media sites so you can stay up to date on their latest news. I will leave you with another one of their songs from their SINNERS EP. The song is Silver Eyes and the video was directed by Benjamin Cappelletti and produced by Charles “Kallaghan” Massabo.

Here we are at the half way mark for songs mark released  from Ronnie Radke’s Mixtape. Today he released his track no. 1 Asshole featuring Andy Biersack of Black Veil Brides. You can check it out  here:

 

Today was the perfect day to release Asshole as it has a great intro dealing with all the spin that media put on Ronnie’s past, regardless if they are true or not. It seems that many outlets always rush to report the news in such a negative manner well today was a great day for Ronnie because justice was served! Ronnie appeared in court today to deal with the charges of domestic assault to Sally Watts, (Ronnie’s former girlfriend). We are happy to say that the situation has been resolved and charges HAVE BEEN dropped against Ronnie even though Sally took to twitter to dispute it.

Ronnie Radke’s Mixtape brings him back to his original music style and delivers a fresh new take on rap.  Ronnie is the true DOUBLE R – Rockin and Rappin!  You can head over to his website of ronnieradkemixtape.com and pick up the new song as a FREE DOWNLOAD with email sign up!

FALLING-IN-REVERSE-SF-

They did it again! Falling In Reverse  put on another great show on their stop in San Francisco for the Bury the Hatchet tour. Even though we were the second to the last stop of the tour, we were treated to them performing at 150% and their non stop energy set.  I have been to many opening sets for tours as well as closing and it does seem that some bands really trail off when they are down to the last couple days. Almost as if they can taste the freedom and joys of sleeping in their own beds, long showers and days that have yet to be planned.  Well for the boys in Falling in Reverse, they really do show that performing is when they feel most at home because they really come on just as strong as their first show in Los Angeles.  They treated the crowd to an adrenaline filled set where the nearly sold out audience sang along to every word. 

It was a great set and Jacky Vincent and Ron Ficarro were on fire with their energy! Of course, Ronnie and  the whole band were awesome but my choice for MVP of the night goes to Jacky Vincent!  You really can’t help but admire his amazing guitarwork on the solos. 

Check out the photos from Rockin Ryan of their set:
