💜CONSIDER SUPPORTING ME ON PATREON💜www.patreon.com/FXKNate/membership Thank you to my good friend, GRAYMADS, for his help with this video... Check out his channel kzfaq.info/get/bejne/at5ymdyr19mXmqM.html

It’s such a shame that the rest of the members didn’t keep the band going. Their instrumentals are pure gold. You rarely get to hear this side of technical djent metalcore anymore. AJ’s guitars spoke works and Skyler is so groovy.

I really appreciate how respectful you are in these videos. The way you talk about the victims and treat their stories with respect and especially here how you kept their anonymity is commendable. Great work

This one hurt. I was super into Issues. Their music helped me thru some of the hardest times but knowing what Tyler is accused of, it’s hard to find joy in that same music. I’ve met the band twice and each of them were super nice.

Bro said woo is me

I designed the layout for Beautiful Oblivion while I worked at Rise Records. Such a good record.

Killer vid as always! If anyone wants a more in-depth history of Woe, Is Me/Issues, The Cozy Representative has a very well done series about them that even Josh Manuel, their drummer, has watched and confirmed pretty much every fact himself. Josh himself has also gone into a lot of detail about the history and his own perspective on what was going on with the two bands at that time as well. Idk if there's any VODs or clips available, but the full story is out there.

Issues Self-titled album was top-notch and took the storm in 2014 especially during Warped Tour 2014, I was able to even get my brother into them due to their "easy" listening due to Tyler Carter's R&B vocals. It's wild that after that album their music started to dwindle bit by bit and with the allegations that came out I'm not even surprised one bit.

The Pyro bit was gold.

As someone who was around the circle of the band, I just wanna say I’m glad someone is making a video about this. The dude is still making music for other artists and I doubt they’re making an effort on actually growing. It’s unfortunate that a lot of people see these terrible things and can rub em off as just someone’s accusations. Too many of the same occurrences happening is not a coincidence.

Issues were sooo ahead of their time, the Black Diamonds EP and self titled album defined my teen years. Musically they’re all so gifted. Tyler is such a scumbag, it broke my heart for the victims. I was also so sad for the rest of the band, they deserve so much better than that. A video on Jake McElfresh from FPS and Jack Barakat would be good I think. I love your content man 🖤

Tyler remains to this day one of my best friends. We live several states away from each other, but text each other regularly. I can’t speak for a lot of these situations, but I know at least one of them is complete fabricated BS because I was there the entire time. 😬

A friend of mine has been in and out of the scene for like 15 years now. I remember him talking about how shady Tyler is. How he was a predator to straight young men. He literally snuck into someone’s bed. It’s fucked that only like 5 years ago people took this shit seriously. It’s been happening forever.

Issues were my favorite heavy band at the time of Beautiful Oblivion and when Tyler was fired, it's such a shame they haven't been active with a replacement... I found it kinda amusing that these allegations came out right around the time Tyler opened an Onlyfans and claimed it's for music only, kind of a weird coincidence lol. Good luck for Skyler with Twenty One Pilots and for Josh with Bilmuri!

I've been binge-watching this series whilst revising for a maths exam lol I love these types of videos they're always so interesting and you put so much effort into every episode!! Turning notifications on rn

This series is so good. I really like how you kept the person interviewed anonymous. I thought the punctuation communicated that there was even more details that you excluded out of respect.

Keep up the good work with the Warped Tour series cuz it brings back nostalgic music and raising awareness about these creeps.

Just found this series today and watched every video in the series. I really appreciate the work!

God damn you are killing it with this series!!!

really cool channel, really cool to see these things being talked about so respectfully. there needs to be a bigger conversation about the alternative scene and the things that happened/continue to happen and go unheard. interested to see what comes next

Love your Content Nate! Always look forward to it.

Tyler Carter is essentially the James Charles of Warped Tour. 💀

Are you going to make a video in this series about Jack Barakat?

yaaaaay new video ive been waiting all week 🥳

Thanks for this video even I wasn’t caught off guard of those who testify about his behavior. Tyler is one of my biggest influence and got me sing to a band because of his style. I am really disappointed for his actions and hoping for the betterment of the victims! Anyways, mad respect for your transparent videos and commentary! I’m from the Philippines BTW!

Jonny Craig x ISSUES 🤯🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️

This is uh….such a Miss Fortune

Keep dropping the bangers 🔥

Tyler Carter & Issues were my absolute favorite musicians and band when I was in high school. Tyler Carter was like my hero. I loved how he was this R&B singer in a metal band. I still think that combination is one of the coolest things ever in music. He was literally my phone screensaver for at least a year in high school. I even wanted to name one of my future children Carter. That's how much this guy and his music meant to me. Him and Jonny Craig were my favorite singers not just in the scene, but in general (birds of a feather flock together, huh? crazy how that works out.) I was absolutely gutted, shocked, and angry when the allegations came out. I didn't want to believe it and a part of me still doesn't want to. However, there's a part of me inside that believed it too. Since then, it's been EXTREMELY hard to listen to any WIM, Issues, and Tyler's solo music because of the allegations. While I still listen to Jonny era Dance Gavin Dance, Emarosa, and Slaves, I think the difference is that as a straight guy, the allegations against Tyler just hit home differently. I met him once, maybe twice and never got any weird vibes or anything, but just the thought that I could've been one of the victims, just shook me to my core. It's just a real shame all around. I still follow him on instagram, and honestly I think he like lives in Japan now. It just seems like he's always there or at least hanging out with some Japanese rockstars fairly often.

it made me sad that in reality, tyler was singing about himself in the case of alot of songs.

Randomly came across this channel the other day. I really enjoy the personality u bring to ur videos:)

Great videos man! Very well produced and clear to the point on the topic. I’ve watched 3 so far.

Great video as usual loved it.

Great job on the video. Can't wait til next week.

loving the consistency!

Love your videos dude!!! I check everyday to see if there are any new uploads!! Keep up the good work!!

Excellent work as always!

Amazing work as always 😊

I really hope Issues make new music, the other members are so incredible and talented I was a HUGE issues and Tyler Carter fan for the entirety of my teens Was absolutely gutted when it all came out

Amazing content my friend! I was unaware of Tyler's situation since I've only checked on Issues once in a while(their music was enjoyable to me though), it's always sad to see such a talented musician being such a horrible human. In case anyone wants a band with a vocalist that has that "Johnny Craig/Tyler" kind of vocal, I highly recommend Valiant Hearts(and Galleons, which is VH's vocalist second band), Tom Byrne is a phenomenal singer and lyricist.

Also big shout out too Mikey from the band miss fortune poor guy was involved with the Tyler situation too. Poor guy damn 😢

i love your shit man but you pronnouncing woe, is me as "woo is me" geeked me lmaoo

hearing lmtf just get a mention made me happy tbh

Dude this is some cool videos AND IM HOOKED. You should do blood on the dance floor next

Look for your videos constantly! This is the fastest a creator has become my favorite videos to lookout for, in a long time!! Can't wait to see what else you have to bring!!

So damn happy to see this channel growing so rapidly. 10k views in 8 hours ? Let's. Fucking. Gooooooo, Nate.

Skylar did an interview with the state of the scene podcast and I would highly recommend you give it a listen, because it goes into more detail on why got rid of him.

You, Punk Rock MBA, & American Spyfox - I get all my rock entertainment Thank you glorious men for the work that you do! 🖤🤘

As an adult now, working closely with kids who were my age at this time in the scene, and to see how young they truly are, Tyler should have known better.

Hurt people hurt people. Tyler can never win. If it’s a long, drawn out letter to fans, people say he didn’t need to ‘word vomit’ when a simple “I’m sorry” would suffice. If he did that, he’s dismissed as being dismissive.

I had friends in bands that were friends with a band member from Woe Is Me, hung out a few times, he was really chill. Any time I asked my friends about Tyler though, they would say they didn't want to be around him, and something about him bringing underage boys on their bus. It was going on even back then.

Love your unapologetic humor. "Whoo'is'me" 😂😂

Like how In depth you are , awesome vid

I think you and I would get on very well, I noticed the veil of maya poster and the perphery one on the right. Finally dead rising mall music ? Yeah you got good taste

You're doing great dude! You've got my sub

i have a friend who publicly dated tyler for years and the relationship started when they were underage for sure. they would publicly talk on twitter when he was underage. Michael bohn did the same thing. this was in 2014-2016

Man these videos had me thinking all the week, you need to talk about Oliver Sykes too. Great content bro.

Damn I miss Tyler carter/Issues :/ they really stood as a rock for me in my younger years. Very unfortunate truths to deal with and grow from, but big hopes for the future of issues and even woe is me. Much love to them for what they gave me growing up

The way you just said woe is me was ridiculous but love the vid 😊

The way you said “BLACK PEOPLE” 💀😂

This series is awesome! Commenting so you get more exposure!

We all remember the issues era where it was clear they were gonna rule the world. They were easily going to the top. They were the band who could make metalcore (or whatever they’re classified as) mainstream! Then they dropped Michael and I think that’s the downfall from there Also I think what we forget about is most of these “abusers” are apart of a cycle. At one point they were abused too. Does this justify their actions? Of course not! But I think band members need to step in when they see a fellow member either show the signs or see something bad before it get worse. Normalize getting people help and normalize saying something asap. Not after allegations. Don’t hush it. Address it and end the cycle!!

Pretty much watched your entire content in one sitting. Very nice, my guy.

Woo is me lol

Huge props to this person for bringing this up 🙏🏻💕 thank you for covering it, very glad because this information absolutely needs to be known!! another amazing vid

Since I've subscribed, I've seen an uptick of 10k subscribers. Awesome work!

Tyler was featured on God of High School anime opening, I watched the anime simply for that. Just 2 months later the allegations came in :/

Your bad childhood shouldn’t make you text 14 year old boys and the fact he put stuff about rehab and drugs to probably make people feel bad just shows that he thought he could’ve just made people forget about it within a week :( great vid as always dude keep it up 🧡

Bro is doing his part in denormalizing sexual misconduct in the scene🔥🔥🔥

I was personally happy to hear Tyler getting fired from Issues because I thought it would open doors for them BUT Issues has been in limbo and they’ve made it clear they will not look for another singer…

I have literally the craziest stories about Tyler from growing up around him from before and after Fame and I just never got around to talking about them but you should totally hit me up. I love your videos!

Gotta say im actually happy we have a sunnyv2 typa thing covering the things from the scene

Issues is one of my favorite bands and I have followed them since they debuted. I wish they would’ve continued with AJ as one of the vocalists. He’s extremely underrated for his talents. His vocals are SOOOO good. better than Michael perhaps 🤭

I like your videos man keep doing more of these types please

My dude keep it up 🎉

the fact that the BAND that he was in believed it, just confirms it for me

You make really good videos man. Really enjoy this series. Sucks you have to make videos on this topic so much but it’s all to common and people need to be held accountable.

People STILL call me a Retard 😂

Another banger! The intro had me giggling, especially the feral unhinged voice you used lmao. And of course the Carters are up to no good. Why would I expect any different?

It makes me feel awful that so many of the bands I loved growing up are actually icky people… like ugh

You slept on both LMTF & TDWP?! Man.

I really hope we get an episode on Ashley Purdy

one of my favorite bands ever. and hearing that their making a comeback eventually is actually a bit disappointing to me just bc it’s practically impossible to replace Tyler’s vocals

The fact you use the Deadrising mall music makes these videos so much better

I’ve been waiting for this one! Ty & Sky Accord are some of my favorite people and I loved Issues but Tyler Carter always gave me weird vibes. The whole thing bums me out big time

Nate’s got hands for all these emo nonces🥊 doing the lords work bro much love

I’m so glad I found your channel! You are so funny and I’m fascinated by your content. It’s mind blowing how many artists from that time period and genre have displayed such problematic / deviant / criminal behaviour. It makes you wonder the power that popularity / fame / influence and access to young or vulnerable people has on the likelihood of displaying deviant sexual behaviour etc… like if these people would ever have offended if they weren’t famous, or if they’d have had any desire to offend. Anyhoo… I’m pretty sure they’re famous worldwide (?) but a local band here Lostprophets are probably the worst example of this with their singer. The mix of being a straight up p*do and having influence over others. It absolutely rocked Wales when the truth about Ian Watkins came out. I lived very close to where he was originally incarcerated and it always gave me the creeps walking past.

“Woo is me” gave me a good giggle

Great video man! Any chance you're gonna cover Asking Alexandria?

another banger video love u man 🫶

Haven’t finished the video yet so I dunno if this is brought up - I vividly remember watching an interview with this guy (not sure if this was during Woe, is me or Issues time) but he said something along the lines of “the only place women should have hair is on their head”. Speaks volumes tbh.

Well on the bright side, sleeping on like moths to flames gave you over 10 years of straight unadulterated bangers to listen to

damn can't wait for you to talk about the lead singer from like moths to flames

Thank you for subtly noting that Jonny was at the top of the genre in that time.

Hope he does one on bury your dead’s ex-guitarist Eric Ellis cause that shit is wild. He went to jail for gang activity and shit so it would be a nice change from all the sa stuff

I still remember all the talk about Numbers by Woe, Is Me in my high school. I slept on it hard but for whatever reason in my senior year economics class, 2012, I had the Black Diamonds EP by Issues pop up in my KZfaq recommended on my iPod 4th Gen and was super into it. It was dope to see another band making music in a genre that I liked from the state I lived in that wasn't Attila. Sucked to see how bad things actually were as the years pressed on. Actually auditioned for my first band out of high school with King of Amarillo, yikes.

You are ballin and dont let anyone take that from you

I literally JUST found out he wasn’t in issues this morning, then you drop this Lmao

Known Tyler for a while now. And Michael Bohn. I’ve talked to Michael about this and he really doesn’t go in depth. Tyler was his best friend and a reason he got kicked for not fitting the main stream radio songs with screaming. Never asked Tyler about it but he has claimed he’s done things he’s not proud of and trying to grow. So that I can atleast respect. He let the fame get to his head but he’s lost it all and I think it’s humbled him.

Your content is great, its crazy learning more about these situations, keep it up man
