Saturday, September 21, 2024, Falling In Reverse makes their stop in St. Louis, MO, at the Hollywood Casino Amphitheater while on the (POPULAR MONSTOUR II WORLD DOMINATION). Kicking off the set with “Prequel,” Ronnie gets personal with the crowd with a brief solo moment before things get HEATED up.
Performing other top hits such as “Zombiefied,” “Losing My Mind,” “The Drug In Me Is You,” and “Popular Monster,” the crowd showed their dedication to Ronnie Radke by chanting “Ronnie, Ronnie, Ronnie” in between songs leaving him speechless at times. Even though Ronnie had stated he was grateful for the support from his fans, he made sure that the fans didn’t forget to give the rest of his band some Love.
Tossing his mic in the air, zombies walking across the stage, calling out all the assholes (including himself) as well as the Radke haters, and not to mention going from opera style vocals to screaming in the mic to speed rapping, Falling in Reverse gave a 10/10 stage performance. The stage production consisted of a giant screen which played most of FIR’s music videos along with the song performed, followed by lots of strobe lights and THE MOST PYRO EVER!!! When I say they brought the heat to STL, we all felt it from the crowd. Ronnie’s crowd interaction was on point, leaving the crowd roaring after the final song, “WATCH THE WORLD BURN.”
I know what you’re probably thinking… “Ashley, Why are there no shots of the drummer?” I’m not going to lie. I struggled shooting this set. I’m 4’10” and the stage was as tall as I am. FIR had an additional riser that went across the entire stage. On my tippy toes and standing on the barricade step, I still wasn’t tall enough to get the shots of drummer Luke Holland. At most shows, photographers are allowed the first three songs from the photo pit and can shoot the remainder of the set from the crowd. That wasn’t the case at this show. All cameras had to be locked away after the first three songs if you wanted to watch the rest of the set. Shots from the crowd were not allowed.
