The debut of Escape the Fate’s (allegedly temporary) new singer Craig Mabbitt at this past weekend’s Extreme Thing music festival provoked some impassioned fan reactions. A sampling of posts ...
... on YouTube:
Teenagers101: Craig’s voice is amazing. I cannot wait for the record to come out! I think his voice is amazing with the songs. =) I love Escape the Fate no matter what. Craig’s gonna do an awesome job.
xAARONxSMITHx: He pretty much sucked. And plus, they were totally bashing Ronnie. Name of a new song: “If I Can Stay Clean, I Can Stay With My Band.” And they changed one of the song titles around to “HE’S Not Good Enough for Truth in Cliché.” It really pissed me off.
... and MySpace:
Danny The Arsonist: you guys fucking suck. been a long time fan but today was just terrible. first you get rid of Ronnie. second you make fun of him by making a song like that. third you get some cocky ass singer that sucked so fucking bad. you guys will never be the same. peace.
ARiEL: Dude, you guys rocked yesterday!!! Everybody was going insane!! Craig was bomb, Max was sexy, Bryan was awesome and Robert was amazing! Can’t wait to see you all again.
Rick – pull the trigger and the nightmare stops: u guys = a good band. this new Craig guy = not good for the band ... he was a fuckin’ prick and he didn’t know the words ... what a dumbass ... I mean I’ll give it to him he has a hard ass scream but his melodics could use some work ... show was pretty lame ... seriously ... do something about this situation before you let it get farther out of hand ... assholes.
