These days, Five Finger Death Punch are ramping up to a new album. 1 songs to come from the band's F8 album, which itself enjoyed a Top 10 debut at No. The track topped the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart, making it the second of four No. And now punk music and rock music is the soundtrack to the establishment all of a sudden? But it’s like, ‘OK, we’ll just play music and create concerts.’ People are educated by clickbait headlines, but there’s so much else to talk about.”Īny backlash from the video didn't seem to harm the song's popularity, as "Living the Dream" continued the band's string of hits. He continued, “It’s crazy, because music was a cultural weapon. You can do this, but the population can’t! As a band, we sort of withdrew from politics and that was the last political commentary, but it flew over people’s heads and we were accused of the craziest shit." But it was about the blatant hypocrisy of what was happening. I love Zoltan to death, that’s his opinion, but it won’t ever be done with my name on it again.”īathory also contributed to the interview, commenting to Metal Hammer, “Obviously, that video created a lot of dust, and I really don’t want to kick up another shit storm about it. And for those who didn’t, I’m sorry, I didn’t agree with it either. That’s what he visualized, but it’s not what I had in mind when I wrote. He continued, “There was the mask thing and the awkwardness of the whole thing. Then when he released it, I called him, like, ‘You implemented your own platform into Five Finger Death Punch, and now I’m gonna have to answer for it, because I’m the singer.’ And it ended up going down like a fart in church!" Moody says that Bathory oversaw the video, recalling, “I showed up for two days and Zo told me to run across the grass, screaming and holding the American flag, so I was curious to see it. Now a couple years removed from the video's release, Moody tells Metal Hammer he feels the clip "went down like a fart in a church," and vows "it won't ever be done in my name again." After the video was released, guitarist Zoltan Bathory issued a lengthy statement clarifying the intent for the clip and stating that "the mask segments are about hypocrisy on the highest level," rather than the video providing an anti-masking message that some viewers took from the clip.
