ESCAPE THE FATE
DYING IS YOUR LATEST FASHION
EPITAPH RECORDS
‘”I don’t want to come off like an asshole,’ says outspoken Escape the Fate frontman Ronnie, ‘but we’re gonna be that change in music.’” NOT! This Vegas-based quintet, described in its press release as a “hard rock/screamo outfit” has a generic sound that doesn’t break any ground, not to mention that these genres are hardly new. “Ronnie’s vision is of himself as a jukebox hero playing to arenas packed with fans, many of them horny groupies that would kill or die for him. And maybe, if they’re lucky, he’ll deign to acknowledge them.” And: “It used to be fun. Girls used to come to shows and show their titties… If that doesn’t come back, I don’t know what I’m gonna do.” Guitarists Omar and Bryan, bassist Max, and drummer Robert somehow squeeze into the space left in the lineup not taken up by Ronnie’s ego. Shades of Spinal Tap and SNIFF THE GLOVE!

Uhh…now can you review the music instead of just make fun of how big of douches they are?

Sometimes the doucheness overshadows the music, and it becomes louder than the sound.

Truthfully, they’re not all that different from any other band who grabs there gear, runs up on stage, and calls themselves “hard-rock, screamo stuff.” but, isn’t that the point of genre’s?? If you bother trying to fit one, why pretend that you’re different? Just strive to be the best. You have to admit, Ronnie has a unique voice, and some of the guitar is prettty killer.
One more thing, my comment reviewed the music more than that review
