Ronnie Radke recently spoke out about Falling in Reverse’s absence from this year’s Grammy nominations, addressing the matter in a statement shared by Rock Feed.
After the nominations were revealed, Rock Feed released a video calling attention to several rock and metal artists who were overlooked. The video highlighted both Architects’ album The Sky, the Earth & All Between and the collaborative track “God Is a Weapon,” featuring Falling in Reverse and Marilyn Manson, as notable omissions. Radke responded directly to the video with his own explanation for the band’s lack of recognition.
“It’s cuz I don’t want men in the women’s restrooms,” Radke said. Radke’s pointed comment appeared to reflect broader frustration with the Grammy Awards’ nomination process. According to The PRP, Falling in Reverse achieved significant commercial success in 2025. Radke stated that “God Is a Weapon” was the biggest rock or metal release of the year based on streaming and sales, racking up more than 18 million views on YouTube.
Despite that success, the band received no Grammy nods—a fact that only deepened Radke’s dissatisfaction. Lambgoat reported that the frontman has long criticized what he sees as systemic bias in the Grammy selection process, particularly concerning genre representation and inclusivity.
Radke’s frustration wasn’t limited to his own band’s omission. As The PRP noted, he also criticized how the nominations treated other metal acts, pointing to the case of Spiritbox, who were nominated but ultimately lost to Gojira. The situation underscores ongoing debates about how the Grammy Awards recognize artists in the rock and metal scenes.
Radke’s blunt remarks have sparked widespread conversation, drawing attention to lingering questions about fairness and representation within the Grammy nomination process—issues that continue to divide both fans and the music industry.
