Yea, his career is done. At least for the next 10 years. He might get jobs as an engineer/studio musician probably, but not in the spotlight.

Itās good that Kenta is willing to just come forward and admit he made a mistake. I can understand why heād have a hard time accepting it at first, even with the evidence in front of him, given how long theyāve known each other.
Daiki probably ended up fucking three bands over with this, because HER NAME IN BLOOD were supposed to reunite this year as well.

Im sure Daiki and Kenta still speak cuz of how long they have known each other but publicly Daikiās rep is done yea
Let me reply to you as you replied to me.
Songs like Coming Home, Zombified, Popular Monster, Bad at Life, Loser + much else new, or older stuff like Rolling Stone - are sooo good. People are of course allowed to hate him but no one can deny that he is one hell of a writer, he writes so catchy songs. I personally think he deserves a second chance and i recommend everyone to believe in facts, not rumors, verdicts might also be wrong but they are at least more believable than rumors. Also he knows himself he is ābad at lifeā and often criticizes himself in his songs.

I feel like a lot of people who hate on Ronnie Radke donāt really know much about him. Iāve been following him since his time in jail, and itās funny to see how strongly people react to his trolling and shitposts.

If you listen to the songs i mentioned for example you will not think he is cringe, turn on the coming home MV on your headphones with the biggest volume.
Well well, haters are gonna be haters. Hes making da big maniz on his music and has many fans, his concerts always sell out so fast.
Keep on hating, it will for sure make your life richer.

bruh
ice cold take here, but I donāt think performers should be talking to their fans outside of meet and greets. A lot of allegations have appeared over the years all because a musician thought it was appropriate to chat with a fan privately through DMās, or thought it was appropriate to hang out with a fan in a bar after a gig.
Itās disgusting. And I really donāt see this getting any better because there are bands who have Discord communities now and that kind of stuff practically encourages grooming and other predatory behavior.

They are also people and how do you even define at what point someone is a fan. Has heard some songs? Attends a show?
Are they supposed to talk to no one before finding out if they might be a fan?
The DM thing is fair but honestly in real life that just does not work. At what point is someone too famous to talk people after a gig?
We had another thread were people said itās so much nicer to just take a free picture with metal bands members after the show because they donāt act like stars and sell every aspect.
This is not a ādonāt talk to perfomersā problem, this is a ādonāt tolerate predatorsā problem. These things donāt happen all of the sudden but too much people are complicite and look away until something big happens.

I think thereās a distinction that has to be made here. Thereās a fundamental difference between saying āhey, great show!ā to a musician after a gig and talking with them / building a relationship with them through DMās.
Thereās also a fundamental difference between asking a musician for a picture after a gig and going to a bar with them for drinks and intimate conversations.
Thereās also a fundamental difference between talking to a musician about the gear theyāre using on tour and being invited to a backstage party after the gig.
The reason bands at this level traditionally keep A LOT of space between themselves and the public is because it eliminates risk. It keeps musicians and the public (ātheir fansā) safe. That doesnāt mean every musician is a predator or every fan is an unhinged lunatic, itās the fact youāre introducing the possibility of those things happening thatās the problem.
There have been too many credible allegations leading to the destruction of peopleās lives. There have also been too many false allegations that have also lead to the destruction of peopleās lives.
This is why people doing everything they can to avoid those situations is ultimately the best course of action.

Generally true, Absolutely.
In Crossfaithās case, that is probably also true of them.
VK is just a little more complicated by the fact that connections with fans are essential to building up a fanbase to progress in their careers. Which, hey, no judgement if everyone is an adult. Stuff can still go wrong, but adults can at least gauge that risk for themselves.
All the more reason for underage fans to exercise caution when messaging these guys. Itās the adultās responsibility to say no, and theyāre 100% at fault if they know about the personās age and continue talking about āmeeting upā. Donāt get me wrong.
But at the same time, I feel like some of the desire to message these guys and then post the screenshots is tied in with ācatchingā someone like some kind of sport. It must be kind of exhausting for these guys, most of whom donāt speak English, to receive a bunch of messages from foreign 12-16 year olds who donāt speak Japanese.
ā-particularly when most of them hopped over from the K-pop fandom, where finding someone to ācancelā is just part of the fun.
If your scene is built around identifying your fans and finessing them into spending more money, then the first instinct might be to engage with messages they get. I suppose itās up to the guy to realize that these kiddos wonāt contribute to their bottom line for years and refrain from engaging with them.

Ooh maybe thatās one of the things that almost always seems risky, imho, is when an artist in general has this distance (fine) but not for YOU (!!), the new person not in the scene whoās interesting to them
Like if you the fan get to feel like youāre getting special / unearned treatment, like āaccessā to the artistās attention is rare but youāve just got itā¦ maybe thatās not an inherent problem always, but a good time for both parties to reflect
but who knows, iām just some guy, no sociologist or anything!
