14. The True Resort (Az igazi feltöltődés) 2023
Yet the blog is about to continue with the recently happened news in the life of Falling In Reverse.
The year of 2023 continued with tours and another new release for Falling In Reverse. Not much after the end of Rockzilla 2nd Leg with Papa Roach they started on a shorter tour of radio shows/festivals in Florida and some other venues in the East Coast, tour which unfortunately ended in canceling 6 shows due to Ronnie Radke's vocal strain, gotten from an overcooled venue right on the first show, in Tampa, FL.

The new release was not announced and/or teased like it happened with "Watch The World Burn"; it was actually a giant surprise. Once or twice Ronnie made blurry references on Twitter about some kind of work in the studio, but it wasn't accentuated. The main story about him and Saraya was that they got several birds (5 medium size parrots and one macaw) as pets and a dozen of stories and videos were uploaded about them on socials.

The concert series with Avenged Sevenfold had started in June '23 already. Before that FIR made a successful appearance on Sonic Temple Festival in Columbus/OH, their show was legendary, you can find a lot of footage on YouTube about. Later A7F hosted FIR in Madison Square Garden, NYC and Kia Forum, Los Angeles/CA, both huge stadium shows with close to 20K cap audience. Both concerts were mindblowing! A new thing Ronnie started out with during these 3 shows was his glam-goth-vampire glittering stage outfit, which was suprising after the plain black simplicity he represented in the past few years.

On June 26th, which was about to be the first day of the Popular MonsTour, sometime around 7 a.m. PT Ronnie suddenly dropped on YouTube and Twitter his new song, "Last Resort (Reimagined)", which was a sort of a cover song for the old Papa Roach hit "Last Resort". But it wasn't an average cover, it was a remake of the song, a breakdown of the tunes, the enhancement of the emotions and the prioritization of the lyrics. It was such a big surprise, neither the core FIR fans did know a thing about it.
Június 26-án, ami egyben az első napja volt a Popular MonsTour turnénak, valamikor, magyar időszámítás szerint délután 4 körül Ronnie hirtelen bedobta a YouTube-on és a Twitteren az új dalát, a "Last Resort (Reimagined)" című Papa Roach feldolgozást, melynek eredetije a "Last Resort" című punk-rock PR dal, ami 20 évvel ezelőtt hatalmas sláger volt. Azonban ez nem egyszerű feldolgozásnak bizonyult, hanem a dal teljes átírásának, a dallamok lassúvá bontása, az érzelmek és a szöveg lelkiségének előtérbe helyezése segítségével. Akkora meglepetés volt, hogy még a legelszántabb rajongók sem sejtettek semmit róla.
Within the first few days the song got millions of views, broke into the the charts and brought a huge amount of new followers to FIR. It was a long series of moments of blast.

Many pictures and videos captured the moment Jacoby Shaddix met his song's reimagined version performed by Ronnie. It was heartmelting watching him touched so much, he even admitted the lyrics of the song were like crying for an interpretation like Ronnie's.
"Last Resort (Reimagined)" kept gaining popularity, a ton of new Falling In Reverse fans appeared all over social medias, the band's Spotify and all over streams rose up to the skies. FIR seemed to be stepped onto another level of success.

The Popular MonsTour literally began on the same day "Last Resort (Reimagined)" was released, on June 26th 2023. Band Spiritbox quit opening for FIR (read BIO at the bottom of the page), they were replaced with Our Last Night at the appropriate venues. The first shows were held on the East Coast. Ronnie published a thanking video for his fans, showing how grateful he is for the support they give and for the possibility to be able to live his dream by delivering the music from his heart.
There were lots of "easter eggs" on this tour, as expected, because Ronnie told fans many times how important this first arena tour is to him. The fashion clothing continued, he wowed the audience with more and more color and gloss, for fans' absolute delight. The stage effects were mindblowing, a huge video projector was placed in the background, stunning lighting art, and there was even an open fire on stage during "Watch The World Burn". "Last Resort (Reimagined)" video was played on the screen while the band changed dresses for the final encore: Ronnie took on his Doomscroller suit from WTWB video, or the whole band dressed in JNCOs to impress the crowd. But the most significant addition was song WTWB played with a triple ending: after the original screaming part came an opera version of the song, and finally a slowered deatchcore version putting Ronnie growl like a beast.
Sok "húsvéti tojás" [elrejtett, kódolt információk, meglepetések - szerk.] volt ezalatt a turné alatt, amint várható is volt, hiszen Ronnie többször hangsúlyozta a rajongóinak, mennyire fontos számára ez az első saját aréna-turnéja. A divatos öltözködés folytatódott, estéről-estére új színekkel és ragyogással kápráztatta el a közönséget,a rajongók legnagyobb örömére. A színpadi effektusok fenomenálisak voltak, egy óriási, osztott videó projektor a háttérben, hatalmas fénytechnika, és még élő tűz is volt a "Watch The World Burn" dal alatt. A "Last Resort (Reimagined)" dal videón került bejátszásra, mialatt a zenekar átöltözött a fináléra: Ronnie felvette a WTWB videóból ismert Doomscroller jelmezét, vagy az egész banda JNCO trapéz farmerbe öltözött, hogy lenyűgözze a közönséget. De a legjelentősebb kiegészítés a WTWB dal háromszori befejezése volt: az eredeti hörgős rész után jött egy opera stílusban elénekelt finálé, majd legvégül egy lelassított, bekeményített deatchcore verzió, melyhez Ronnie olyan hörgést tolt, mint egy vadállat.
One extra event of the tour was in Baltimore/MD, on 7/3/2023: Alex Terrible from opening band Slaughter To Prevail got on stage with Ronnie during WTWB 3rd, slowered part and they did a memorable growling, a real deathcore history together (⬆⬆⬆)
Another surprise was the prize FIR got from the venue Red Rocks in Morrison/CO, on 7/11/2023, for selling out the amp. It's a tradition every band selling out the venue gets a piece of red rock as a souvenir to take home with them. Even Beatles got this kind of prize in 1964, on their first U.S.A. tour.

The last memorable event was in Sacramento/CA, on 7/29/2023. Great sold out show, with a little surprise at the end of it. Core fans know that Jacoby Shaddix from Papa Roach lives in the city of Sacramento; he was invited to the show by Ronnie and even brought on stage to perform "Popular Monster" together. It was a real banger, an unforgettable experience.

Falling In Reverse's next move will be a giant U.S. tour together with Avenged Sevenfold (A7F), being the special guest. They will be playing at 17 venues all over the country. Before and after that FIR organized the reschedule of the Syracuse/NY show (postponed because of the smoke from the Canadian wildfires) on Sep 12th, right before A7F tour, and the Saint Augustine/FL show (canceled because of Ronnie's laryngitis) on Oct 17th, right after the tour. Both will be Popular MonsTour events.
A Falling In Reverse következő nagyobb eseménye egy óriásturné lesz megint, ezúttal az Avenged Sevenfold (A7F) társaságában, különleges meghívottként. 17 helyszínen játszanak majd Államok-szerte. Előtte és utána a FIR megszervezte két elmaradt előadása újraütemezését, a Syracuse/NY show-t (mely a kanadai erdőtüzek miatti füst okán lett elhalasztva) szept. 12-ére, pont a turné elé, és a St. Augustine/FL show-t (melyet Ronnie laryngitis-e miatt mondtak le) okt. 17-ére, a turné utáni napra. Mindkettő Popular MonsTour esemény lesz.
We can easily confirm that the year of 2023 turns to be the year of mega touring for Falling In Reverse. As if the possibility of the lockdown would still haunt people, bands and audience as well. New release isn't expected before the end of the year, probably in late Dec or Jan 2024. What many people are waiting for is an international FIR tour, mainly in Europe, but Latin-America and Asia is also longing for them for years. There is no information about when it's gonna engender.
This blog will only be refreshed after a new song will be released. Till then you can follow the Tumblr account (in English only) which details Falling In Reverse's everydays whether reporting about the band or Ronnie Radke's personal deeds.
