When we spoke to Falling In Reverse frontman Ronnie Radke in AP 294, he described the previous time he had seen his former Escape The Fate bandmate Max Green:
"He's missing a few teeth. His pants were ripped up; not in a rock 'n' roll way, but like he'd been wearing them for several weeks straight. He's clearly on drugs... I hope he gets sober. There's a place in my heart for him. He will always have that place. I care about him--I don't want him to die."
Now, Max Green, who is newly sober, reconciles with old friend Radke at his home.
In the second installment, the two talk about hitting rock bottom, selling their souls to the devil and forgiveness.

When Ronnie talks about how Max is a star, about his magnetic presence, and how the bad people in his life were attracted to it and dragged him down, that's so beautiful. The way they talk about one another, they way they look at each other, that's real friendship. That's real love.

He had this view because that his friends and he knows what is capable of, that's understandable he hates those people. But Max was as lost as them. He's saying himself, he wasn't a good person neither. No one is above anyone else. Everyone can be a "star" on their own way. Everyone can be a bad influence, even more when you're in a dark place. I know I'm responding to a comment from a decade ago. But personally I hated when he said that. It feel like they saw themselves as gods.

Please never delete these, these interviews are actually very insightful into the life of the average rockstar, even though Escape the Fate and Falling in reverse aren't the most well known the stories still sound very similar and it's nice to hear them come out the other side better than they were before.

Oh man this interview made me weep. These two guys will never ever leave each other, they have a friendship that makes them brothers. When Ronnie talks about forgiveness and holds his hands up to his own failings you know he's one of the good guys, they're both good, decent, intelligent guys. I'm so glad their union is back on track and as tight as ever and I wish all good things for them.

I was trying not to cry when Max said "I just hit rock bottom..In an airport, in Atlanta, Georgia." Because I could hear the sadness, the pain, and the shame in his voice and it was heartbreaking. When is tarted listening to ETF, I was always a fan of Max. I always had his back when people would say shit about him, and I loved him. When I found out he was addicted for drugs and partying, it broke my heart because Max is a great guy. He couldn't even look at Ronnie when he said he hit rock bottom, because he felt like he failed Ronnie. I was at Warped Tour Thursday with my dad, and we found out about a FIR signing. I was the first in line for the signing and felt super stoke because I love FIR, and I wanted to tell Max I was proud of him. People tried to cut me and I wasn't gonna let them. Cause it meant a lot to me that I was gonna be able to say hi to one of my favorite bands, and I wasn't gonna take anyone's shit. When I got to Max, I said "Thank you so much for getting clean, it means the world to me that you're doing better, I'm very proud of you, and I love you." He smiled and said "Thank you, that's very nice of you to say." And I turned to Ronni cause I know he heard. I said "And thank you for being there for Max when he needed help, and I'm glad you don't feel the resentment towards him anymore." Ronnie smiled and said "Thank you, I really appreciate that." Cause they were gonna expect girls fangirling over them, and I was totally real with the both of them because I knew of their problems, I didn't talk shit about either of them, and I'm so happy they're clean, and that's they're doing better. Max, Ronnie, if you ever see this, I wanted to let you go know, I love you, and I'm very proud of both of you

Congratulations though you're really talented and it really inspires me how far you've come gives me hope that one day my dad could recover as well:)

The part where they mentioned signing the contract for their souls to be sold kind of freaked me out a bit, though it's also a pretty interesting story. I feel a little sad for max cause I didn't even realize he was into drugs(at least not that bad) until I started reading about it. Like I said though, I'm happy for him and I'm glad he's doing better. Let's just hope it continues and that he'll have a brighter future. Xoxo.

All I have to say is that I hope they keep it up. A very very close friend to mine that I'm desperately working to move towards sobriety and its tough. It really is. Sometimes we're nothing almost throwing in the towel but we keep working. A lot if what is said here is sounds cliche but its true. All I have to say is that I have a shit load of respect. It's tough. Addiction is not easy. For anyone that reads this educate yourself because its no were as easy as it sounds.
