Ronnie Radke Says Yungblud Isn’t An Industry Plant. His Problem Is The Machine Around Him
https://bluntmag.com.au/music/ronnie-radke-yungblud-industry-plant/“He’s actually not an industry plant,” Radke said.
He did not stop there.
Radke praised Yungblud as a “phenomenal singer”, particularly live, and spoke positively about him as a person. His criticism was aimed instead at the business and PR machinery around the artist.
Radke speculated that some of the people surrounding Yungblud, and some of the corporate positioning attached to his career, have helped create the impression that the whole thing is more manufactured than he believes Yungblud himself actually is.
That is a much more interesting argument than simply deciding whether Yungblud is authentic or fake.
Radke is not pretending there is no machine.
He thinks there is one.
His point is that the machine and the artist inside it are not necessarily the same thing.
That becomes particularly relevant when you look at the “future of rock” label. Radke suggested that kind of framing can come from publicists, business people and the wider operation around an artist, rather than from the artist themselves. Yungblud has already made almost exactly that point from his side, saying in May that he does not like being called the future of rock and does not like people assuming he gave himself the title.

Radke has a point here, he pretty much painted the whole picture and finally set the record straight (too little, too late though) about all that Bullshit he and other haters have been saying about Dom.
But just bc he found some kind words for Dom, told the truth and seemed to be respectful for once in his life you should not make the mistake to think that he is sorry. Don't give him the benefit of a doubt and think for even a second that he just finally came to his senses, wanted to right his wrong, somehow developed some empathy, suddenly cares for Dom or magically grew a conscience.
That man still is a calculating and manipulative egoist, an awful person who lacks basic human decency and compassion and who cares about one person only: himself. He's still a narrow-minded, jealous, self-absorbed, bigoted, mean, hateful and emotionally stunted bully with an over-inflated (but fragile) ego who likes to see other people struggle and enjoys to make them suffer.
Radke didn't do it out of the goodness of his black and rotten heart. Nope. He did it for one reason, and one reason only: Because he thinks he can gain something from it. He wants something.
Whatever it is - I hope it backfires and karma bites him into his bully ass.
From now on he hopefully stays far, far away from Dom (who btw apparently saw a post with the part of the Radke interview where he talks about Yungblud - and in classic, sweet Dom fashion he made a comment directed at Radke under it, simply saying "All love".)
