In a recent article I read called Six Flags Great Adventure Bans Metal Concerts Following Microphone Stand Throwing Incident (Video) by Michele Amabile Angermiller that was published on October 3, 2012 tells about my favorite lead singer throwing his microphones at the end of his performance at Six Flags Great Adventure. As a result Kristin Siebeneicher, spokeswoman for the theme park, they have decreed to ban all metal concerts from the park. This extreme measure prohibits future screamo-core and metal bands to ever set foot in the park. I personally believe it is an abomination to punish all bands ( that aren’t even in the same genre as Falling in Reverse), because of the incident of one lead singer. It’s a childish measure, just banning Falling in Reverse would have sufficed. I am influenced by the band and back Ronnie Radke up 100%, because their chairman of publicity should have done more research on this band. They would’ve realized this sort of behavior is tolerated in all of his gigs and least should’ve let down the law before his performance. The media as well has done a good job destructing his music career and his legacy. The article fails to deliver the fact his fan base is still faithful despite his action, because he had kicked drugs and became an inspiration to millions of teens through out the world. As for the people who got hurt, honestly, you’re at a rock concert what do you expect? My advice for people, be aware of your surroundings and Six Flags: don’t punish metal bands it wasn’t their fault and you’re the reason why teenagers are less interested in your parks. You are biased an sympathize with modern sub-culture music.
