Earlier this month, ex-Skid Row member Sebastian Bach and Falling In Reverse frontman Ronnie Radke went off on each over on Twitter. Their spat started due to Falling In Reverse having to cancel a show due to missing laptops; radio personality Eddie Trunk caught wind of this and said a whole bunch of stuff about how wild it is for a band not to be able to perform without laptops.
Ronnie caught wind of what Eddie said and got super pissed; he started tagging Eddie on tweets and calling him out, and eventually brought Sebastian Bach into the mess.
This beef between Ronnie, Eddie, and Sebastian has now caught the attention of another rocker though – Edsel Dope of Dope. Edsel decided to post a lengthy statement over on his Instagram pertaining to this beef; the open letter is directed at Bach. Per the caption associated with this letter, Edsel writes:
“@ronnieradke @sebastianbach @eddietrunk Bach/Ronnie – I’ve been around both of you enough to know that you have way too much in common to be at odds over something so trivial….. full statement in images”
You can read the full statement for yourself below, but one of the big points that Edsel makes is that Falling In Reverse has a hybrid sound – one that involves metal and electronic music. So the absence of those laptops isn’t any kind of failing of the band, per Edsel, but an important piece of musical equipment that allows them to fully present their art.
You can check out Edsel Dope’s full statement below. Let us know what you think of it. In other Dope related news, the band will be on a North American tour next year. You can find all the dates and locations associated with that tour below.
