Craig Mabbitt of ESCAPE THE FATE on moshing 4 christ

With one member fresh out of rehab for Oxy, and their former singer Ronnie Radke fresh out of prison for accessory to murder or some shit, the kids in Escape The Fate seem like pretty legit fuckups. I figured they were like most other bands who dress like Guns N Roses, doing their best to do cool, self-destructive shit to numb the pain of their dysfunctional upbringing and just because that’s the rock-n-roll thing to do. And maybe they are, I don’t know, because I was more interested in talking to vocalist Craig Mabbitt about a touchy subject that few others are willing to: being an imperfect, human Christian living the rock and roll lifestyle. As anybody who’s spent time hanging out with Rise/Solid State/etc bands knows, the goody two-shoes, teetotaller image that most project is totally fake- they bang groupies, get wasted and say the f-word just like everybody else in a band, but are rarely willing to publicly acknowledge it because they’re afraid their fans will abandon them if they know the truth. I was really stoked that Craig, a veteran of the breakdowns4christ band Blessthefall, was the first person I’ve encountered who would talk about this phenomenon openly.

Also, check out their new album. I don’t know what it’s called or what label it’s on, but I downloaded it the other day and it’s pretty cool– sounds like a better version of late 90s industrial/hard rock ala Linkin Park, Orgy, Marilyn Manson, and Powerman 5000 (a style that’s long overdue for a revival IMO). (srs)

The debut single from the new ETF record is pretty sweet- the main riff is like if you took “Crazy Train” and rearranged the notes just enough so that you didn’t have to pay royalties on it, only if it was played by Crazy Town. Before you get too angry, remember that these kids were born in like 1988 so it’s entirely possibly they never listened to Ozzy (not sure if srs)

I guess the first thing I was wondering is, do you guys ever regret having one of those gay, generic “VERB the NOUN” names?
Yeah, I mean, look at our name: Escape The Fate, and my old band was Blessthefall! [laughs]

Oh, you were in Blessthefall?

Yeah, that’s my first band. I was just on the first record.

Well, you guys at least mixed it up a little by not putting a space in there, just making it all one word.

That’s why we did it. When we first named the band, we were like “Dude should make it all one word so it’s not the three word thing.” [laughs] We used to get so pissed when magazines or whatever would put the name as three words, we were like “Noooo!”

So was Blessthefall actually a Christian band, or just kind of in that scene?

Well, our manager at the time didn’t really want us to be labelled as a Christian band, because he thought we would be held back from certain opportunities, and that people would look closer at us, and judge us more harshly. I’m a Christian, and the influences I had at the time- and back then I was getting kicked out of my church for dating the pastor’s daughter [laughs]- all this stuff was happening, and I started thinking religion was a lie, and my outlet was this band that I joined. I was definitely writing a lot about religion, my relationship with God, and how I didn’t feel like I belonged anymore. Today I have my own relationship, and I haven’t been back to church since, but I know God is watching over me or whatever, and I think as long as you’re a good Christian no matter what your beliefs, you’ll go to a good place.

Baby needs an Escape The Fate onesie!

Sure– I mean, going to church doesn’t make you a good Christian, and you can still be a good Christian even if you never go to church.
That’s actually why me and the band had a falling out. They were being looked at and judged, I liked hanging out with the fans, and we broke up in Europe because I liked hanging out with fans and having drinks at the bar, because I was actually old enough to drink over there. They said I wasn’t Christian because I was drinking, and I was like “I don’t need anybody judging me, I have my own beliefs, but I don’t need to express them.” I feel like if you’re a good person, but you like to say fuck, and you’re hanging out with girls and having some drinks, that you can still go to heaven as long as you’re not worshipping another idol, or kill people. [laughs]

The Maine are perhaps the best example of supposedly-Christian, “closested party animal” bands (runner up: Forever The Sickest Kids’ singer Johnathan Cook). Must suck to be 24, in a huge band, surrounded by booze and underage groupies that you can’t eff without going to prison

I’ve interviewed a lot of bigger Christian bands who are kind of undercover party animals, but they’ll never talk to me about it. I think a lot of them start out really young, and they’re super gung-ho about being really vocal Christians, and as they get older they realize maybe there’s more to being Christian than they thought, and they start partying like anybody else in a band. But because they started out so gung-ho, they feel like they have to hide it, and they’re living this big lie. What would you say to someone who’s in that situation?
That’s exactly where I came from. People used to be like, “Looks like the little Christian boy ain’t that Christian anymore.” When I joined Escape The Fate, people assumed I wasn’t Christian anymore. When we toured with Underoath, Tim said “You guys might be cool people, I like you as people, but I just don’t like what you guys do, I think you play music for the wrong reasons.” That just kind of blew my mind, because isn’t playing music the reason?! You know?? So, there’s definitely people who are still like gung-ho and have those super strong beliefs, and they don’t like to party, and that’s awesome. But everyone has their own path in life, so if you find yourself partying or whatever, don’t think you’re a bad person.

The guys in ETF love to kick it with the fans

My friend [Johnny Franck] just quit Attack Attack!, and I just saw a video of him leaving the band because he felt like he was on the wrong path. I never really knew he was like that, but if that’s what he feels like he has to do, then more power to him. I just feel like, as long as you’re doing what you want to do, you can’t let anybody else define you.
If you’re gonna party, and someone going to say you’re not Christian because of that, don’t lie about it and be in the closet. Either don’t do it, and have that [squeaky clean] personality and get praise for not doing anything [like partying], or do what you want to do, have the same beliefs, and don’t let anyone give you shit for it as long as you’re a good person.
I believe in God, and I don’t feel like I’m doing anything wrong that’s going to keep me from going to heaven. And if someone doesn’t have the same beliefs as me, like if they’re Buddhist or something, as long as they’re a good person then I believe they’ll go there too.

Craig’s old band, Blessthefall (yes, I know he didn’t sing on this record). They’re one of the better mosh4christ bands, and one of Shawnyouwillhate‘s favorites despite that he’s a Jew- I applaud his open-minded, nondenominational perspective on breakdowns!

On that note, it seems like Escape The Fate party pretty hard. Was that a big change for you, coming from Blessthefall?
Actually, here’s what everybody doesn’t know: everybody thinks we’re like a huge party band, and when I joined that’s what I was expecting, so I was kind of excited, but actually nobody really parties. Robert has never really partied, just kind of keeps to himself. Monty is a super big health freak, he’s always trying to find a Whole Foods– although he kind of started to party with me on the last tour, which I was really happy about. Max parties, but his definition of “partying” is a little different. [Max is fresh out of rehab for Oxycontin addiction] My partying is, I’ll get fucking hammered, hang out with a bunch of people and do something stupid like teepee a house, or maybe pack the house and play beer pong or whatever, those are my kind of parties. Me and Max are really the only ones, and now maybe Monty– I haven’t seen too many people party as hard as he did on the last tour, that was pretty impressive.

A lot of people end up regretting their tattoos, but I’m sure we can all agree that this one has a deep, timeless message that she will appreciate for the rest of her life!

I feel like it would be really valuable for kids to hear from someone who’s honest about it.
Exactly. And trust me– there’s plenty of Christian bands who are supposedly goody two-shoes that have also partied on the Escape The Fate bus! [laughs] I just feel like them hanging out and doing stuff with us, and then lying to themselves, lying to the people around them, is worse than anything I’m doing. I feel like being out in the open is way more righteous than lying about your righteousness.

Totally. I would love to see someone say “Hey, I’m a Christian, but that doesn’t mean I’m perfect– here’s what I do, and if you want to judge me for it, so be it.”

That’s why I really respected John for what he did, like in the video he said “I don’t think I’m on the right path, I don’t like what I’ve been doing, and I wanna go home and fix my relationship with God.” That’s rad, I respect him for it, and I think everybody should respect him for it.

    It’s cool that he’s not trying to pretend he doesn’t mess up, but it’s not cool that literally almost everything he says about Christianity is contradicted in the bible.

    • PanRawker says:

      That’s exactly how I felt reading this. I mean Christianity is not only about getting “saved” (which he seems to not even understand THAT) to go to heaven, but to live for God. I completely respect him for admitting his faults, but it seems as though he feels as though living destructively isn’t a “fault”. An not-going to church doesn’t mean you’re not Christian, but how can you get close to God (while I go to church and love to stay connected, I sadly don’t do this and I know I need to start) if you don’t get into His word. It seems as though for a lot of people Christianity is a brand (like clothing). You put it on because it looks good on you. I don’t understand people saying that they are born again, but say that others can still go to heaven without doing so. It seems as though their saying, “I’m newly born into God’s family, but a sincere Buddhist is already in the family although he doesn’t know the Father.”
      God, help us.

      After reading about him being in blessthefall leaving and then being in The Word Alive and also leaving (both bands claiming to have nothing to do with Christianity after his departure), I knew something was wrong.

  2. Mikey says:

    Lol @ Christians.

  3. Sergeant D says:

    “Lol @ Christians.”

    pretty much so

  4. Leandro says:

    Craig fucked some groupies here in Brazil.

  5. Josh lawton says:

    Yo im josh, im christian all tha way and i dont hide it and im in a band called minutes to madness and we party like hard fuckers and yeah i may not go 2 church but im still close with god and i recognize his existance and thank him for wat ive been given in live but i still make mistakes, like every human, christian, buddhist all alike. No body is perfect and clearly more people show that easier but it even say in the bible, dont judge other people, thatz gods job 2 judge us for our wrongs and rights. If u see me on facebook and see how i dress, i walk past my local church and they all look at me like *oh he must b a demon praiser or evil* when all i do is dress in emo clothes, people need 2 stop judging who they dont know or the true judge will make u pay. Peace

  6. Branden says:

    Yeah i Like Craig. He’s very open about his personal life and i like that. I’m not christian but i still believe in god and so does my band(A Day Of Catastrophie)too. My band member’a all party, me sometimes but im not that hardcore. but all i want to say is Craig your the fucking bomb man, i love your guy’s music. peace

  7. Mark says:

    well, what can i say, i’m a BIG escape the fate fan, Craig is my lifes idol to be honest, i love the bands music, and
    my favourite song are “Something” it reminds me so much of my own life. yet again, i’m the only one in my band who likes Escape the fate, my band is called Eclipse Before Dawn, Sadly we dont have any videos or songs up on youtube yet, hopefully we’ll get, – we’re not really the partying type of people, but we’ve played a few concerts here on bornholm :)

  8. Alex says:

    “It’s cool that he’s not trying to pretend he doesn’t mess up, but it’s not cool that literally almost everything he says about Christianity is contradicted in the bible.”

    I totally agree with you. I like Craig, but I feel like he’s kind of a hypocrite to be honest. I mean, you don’t have to be a Christian to believe in God, like how Branden was saying how he’s not a Christian, but he still believes in God. And I totally respect that. But what really pisses me off is that Craig is kind of distorting Christianity. As a fairly devoted Christian, I can say that it’s not supposed to be easy to live the life that I do, and make the choices I make. My human nature desires to fit in by going to parties and swearing every other word and having sex, but I know it’s not right. I mean if anything, Craig is creating the judgement himself by labeling himself as a Christian. He could just as easily say “I’m not a Christian, but I still believe in God”, because the life he’s leading definitely doesn’t reflect that of a Christian life. And I’m not expecting every Christian to be perfect, because trust me, I’m not. However, if you feel no remorse for doing something against the Bible and you just sort of embrace it and pretend like you’ve done nothing wrong, then that’s when the issue arises.

    Look, I know I may seem like just another one of those hypocritical Christians who judges everyone else, but trust me, I’m not. Like I said before, I’ll respect your decisions, and if you choose to not believe that’s totally fine with me, I won’t judge you for it. I just don’t like it when people who claim to be Christians do the complete opposite of what we’re called to do.

    “And if someone doesn’t have the same beliefs as me, like if they’re Buddhist or something, as long as they’re a good person then I believe they’ll go there too.”- Craig Mabbit

    “Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”- Jesus/ John 14:6
    —————————————————————————————————————————————-

    “I think as long as you’re a good Christian no matter what your beliefs, you’ll go to a good place.”
    “…as long as they’re a good person then I believe they’ll go there *(heaven) too.”-Craig Mabbitt–*added

    “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast” -Paul/Ephesians 2:8-9
    ———————————————————————————————————————————–

    “I feel like if you’re a good person, but you like to say fuck, and you’re hanging out with girls and having some drinks, that you can still go to heaven as long as you’re not worshiping(*spelling corrected) another idol, or kill people.”

    This whole sentence is littered with false ideas about what the Bible teaches. First and foremost, no person is good (Romans 3:23, James 2:10, Ephesians 2:1-3, pretty much anywhere in the Bible); all are in fact completely unrighteous and evil (Romans 3:10).

    He does have it right that, once justified by Christ, your sins cannot condemn you to hell (Galatians 2:21, 3:3). But ongoing and un-repented sin may show evidence of a lack of regeneration (Galatians 4:8-20, Hebrews 6:1-9, James 2, etc). Jesus said “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit…If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned.” (John 15:5-6). Bearing false fruit repeatedly reveals a potential lack of Christ.

    He also has the false notion that certain sins are worse than others.—
    “For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it” (James 2:10).
    All sins equally break the law of God and equally make you unrighteous before the Father.

    I am sure Craig is a really nice dude. I used to listen to “blessthefall” quite often and was really perplexed about him; but now I see he teaches a false gospel. I wish it weren’t so, but he clearly does not understand a thing about what Christ taught and the whole perspective of the Bible. I hope the views of people, in reference to Christianity, aren’t distorted by him.

  10. Leigh says:

    I Agree With Anon!! ^^
    I Don’t Know What To Think Of Him Or His Band,Bless The Fall was an openly Christian Band.. Why would he go from a Christian band to a non Christian Band??
    He’s Contridicting Himself..,
    I used to be ETF’s BIGGEST fann!! When I found out they might not be Christian,people started talking, I didn’t know what to do,I need help on to figure out..

    • PanRawker says:

      I agree that it seems contradictory, but I personally have no problem with switching to a “non-Christian” band…..I do have problems with everything Anon pointed to which makes his switch all for the wrong reasons. If he could use Escape the Fate as a platform, not to necessarily “preach,” but to be open and shine the true light of Christ (maybe with just a noticeable change in lyrics, without having to say a word of his faith on stage) then it would be justified, but this is not at all

  11. Anonymous says:

    Anon, I could not have said it better myself. Thats exactly what I’m talking about. And I definitely agree with Leigh and PanRawker. It’s good to see someone who shares your ideas and beliefs in a world where Christianity has become so godless and impious to even those who call themselves “Christians”

  12. MareeRawr says:

    Wow…. My respect for Craig just went up by a bunch. I mean yeah i believe some of the music that they make, play and whatnot is not good and i don’t like it. But that doesn’t mean i don’t like some of their other music and i don’t like the people in the band. Yes, I am a christian and when i first heard about their music i wasn’t really sure if i should be listening to it but i realized that God doesn’t care what music we listen to and that he mainly cares about how we treat people, that we obey his commandments, We show people the love that he showed, And that we lead them to God and tell them about him.

  13. Becca says:

    Why does anybody honestly care if he went from a Christian band to a non-Christian band??? Oooh!!! God’s sending you to hell for listening to a non-Christian band!!! NOT. Anyhow, I agree with Craig. I don’t attend church and probably never will. However, I do have faith and believe in God an Jesus Christ as my savior. But if any Christian out there tries to lie and say that they don’t sin, you’re a liar and that’s why most people hate Christianity. It’s filled with hypocrites and liars, and Craig is setting the right example. More power to him. Seriously people, let people have their own beliefs and don’t cry if they aren’t yours.

    • Josh says:

      I agree with you that it doesn’t matter if he is in a Christian band or not because I listen to alot of different bands. But the fact that his lyrics and the way he acts offstage doesnt reflect what a Christian is supposed to be, makes it wrong. Everyone knows that no human is perfect, we all fall short of the glory of God. I respect Craig for being honest, but almost everything he said was wrong. I am afraid to say that I don’t think he never read the bible because there a verses that Anon quoted that directly contradict what Craig said. You can’t call yourself a Christian then drink, smoke, have sex (which is adultery, one of the ten commandments), and whatever else you want to do. And if you dont go to church how are you close to God? Your spirit gets fed at church, and if you don’t get fed, you die. Being a Christian and saying you are a Christian are two completely different things.

  14. Alexandria says:

    well i love craig mabbitt either way hes such a great singer im inlove with him thats for sure im actually geting his name tatted

  15. Bryanisliving777 says:

    See the Buddhist statement means he isn’t Christian he is a Universalist, now no one I promise you i am not judging but what I’m saying is true. God says the only way to him is through the Son, its clearly stated in the Bible, and if you believe in God than He calls us to have a relationship with Him, and to gain that is to dig into His word and believe it in full Truth, you cant take some of the bible, than toss the other aside just for your own selfish comfort, we are all sinful people, I as much as anyone else am a sinner, we are Born to stear away from God, its only through His Gracious Will that we breathe, that we can have life in Him. So to say I can live as I please is not glorifying God, and thats why we were saved is so that we would give Him the glory. Yes you can still be a Christian without going to church, but we are the church, and we are to find a church and tithe. RESTORE HIS BRIDE, the church is His bride, and we are to uphold it, you need to read the Bible and believe it and act upon it thats all he asks of us! He gave His life for us so the least we could do is give ours to Him, in no way am I judging or condemning Craig or anyone for that matter cause that is my Father in heavens job, however I am pointing out the faults in his though process for living as a Christian with intentional LOVE. I really feel the so called Rock&Roll lifestyle overcame who he was and began to take over his morals, and beliefs thats how sin works. I pray that anyone struggling with this or anything that is pulling you away from God to seek scripture, its amazing how impactful the Holy Spirit reaches out to you when you seek God in scripture. He left us scripture for a reason, we are to act and abide by it, and leave all the other details to him Matthew 7 “Matthew 7

    Judging Others

    1 “Do not judge so that you will not be judged. 2 For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and [a]by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you. 3 Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? 4 Or how [b]can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ and behold, the log is in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.
    6 “Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine, or they will trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.

    Prayer and the Golden Rule

    7 “[c]Ask, and it will be given to you; [d]seek, and you will find; [e]knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. 9 Or what man is there among you [f]who, when his son asks for a loaf, [g]will give him a stone? 10 Or [h]if he asks for a fish, he will not give him a snake, will he? 11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him!

    The Narrow and Wide Gates

    A Tree and Its Fruit

    15 “Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. 16 You will [k]know them by their fruits. [l]Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they? 17 So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 So then, you will [m]know them by their fruits.
    21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. 22 Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many [n]miracles?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’

    The Two Foundations

    24 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and [o]acts on them, [p]may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 And the rain fell, and the [q]floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock. 26 Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not [r]act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27 The rain fell, and the [s]floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell—and great was its fall.”
    28 [t]When Jesus had finished these words, the crowds were amazed at His teaching; 29 for He was teaching them as one having authority, and not as their scribes.

    I’m sorry but I don’t believe in the bible at all and if that’s the only way to make a relationship with God the a lot of wonderful. God loving people must be “going to hell.” The judgement I’ve seen reading these comments is horrific, for the most part. Church won’t get you to heaven, the bible won’t either. What will get you to heaven is your love for God. I’m not a christian, and I’m not steering away from God just because I’m not. I turned my back on Christianity, because the way they view God is as a human, a humanly spirit, which he’s not. He’s all loving but yet he murdered and burned S+G??? I think not. I’m not saying the bible isn’t true, but it’s been altered over time, and God’s word has been tainted by the filthy hands of “His people,” because they’re so Christ-centered they can do that. Craig has his own views, and he sounds like a great person. Partying won’t get you into hell

  17. Bryanisliving777 says:

    But dude by saying that is showing untrust in God, that H;e wouldnt pick the right people to write His word, that He would leave all of us blind to never know the truth. You have to find comfort in scripture He calls us to, and I never judged once in my comments but Im telling you what is true in Christianity and the misconceptions, happiness in God, is digging into scripture and allowing the Holy Spirit to work through you, through scripture, and above all showing and giving Him all the glory

  18. Anonymous says:

    Excuse me, but when did I EVER directly attack you or reference my statement to you? Jumping to conclusions, maybe? And was I saying the original writers of the bible weren’t telling the truth or to be distrusted? No, I didn’t. The bible being changed has happened, and by saying God picks certain people to write His word would make Him bias, but I thought He was all loving and we were all equal in his eyes…? Hmmm… I’m not a Christian and your views are very much Christian, so it seems you’re trying to say your views are the only right ones and the only ones that will get me to God. I don’t believe I have to read the bible to get to heaven, and all of religion is just an opinion, so technically it can’t be right or wrong. As for me I’m very comfortable where I stand in my relationship with God, you however might want to work on fact vs. opinion. I have no distrust in God, I just view Him differently than you. Forgive my difference with yours in OPINION. God doesn’t leave us blind, and I for sure am not blind to His love. And yet I don’t read the bible… Hmm, I wonder if having my own views is working for me? Yeah, it really is. Any debates you have with me will be Christian opinions, which don’t mean much to me when I’m judged on mine. Sorry for that, and have a very wonderful day.

    Oh and just to add one more thing, when I was reading the bible, I never found comfort in it. In the bible I saw hate and murder and cruelty, and I saw how my all loving creator planned on destroying everything. I don’t find comfort in those things, but I find comfort in Jesus, who connects me with God. See, I believe in Jesus Christ, like I said, I never said the bible was completely fake. I have respect for anyone who thinks they’re helping me by trying to make me feel like them, but I’m happy with what I do believe. Everyone has their own relationship with God, and I have mine, so I don’t need anything else.

When he goes back to the church (and he will go back – the weak all do), he’ll go back *hard.* I say that inside of 6 years this kid will be leading his own “alternative” church and blathering on about “legalism.”

    The comments sure have changed around this place in just a year.

    It’s funny because I’m a huge Christian and I’m getting blessthefall new album for my bday Awakening and they are a Christian Band so ya I’m glad they kick Craig out of the band but he still doesnt get that Christ died for you and you gotta accept and live by it but he’s just a immature Christian sending out false messages and he needs our Christian prayers for him to actually find the light since he has been blinded…..

    And o ya people Christianity isn’t a religion it’s life and believe in jesus and god won’t send you to heaven you must accept him into your heart and live in him and yes we all sin even when were in Christ but that’s why god gives unlimited restarts and brought Jesus down to be mocked and put upon that cross to eliminate our sins so we can be forgiven since Jesus already paid for our dues…..

    You don’t have to pretend to be Christian anymore. All of that is bullshit and you know it. This life is all that you get, make the most of it.

    I don’t know what’s funnier – Mabbitt’s bullshit or the butthurt trolls.

    I liked the first ETF album, but then Max Green banged my girlfriend when they were on tour.
