Lambgoat CEO David Truax recently addressed his ongoing public dispute with Ronnie Radke. He discussed allegations surrounding the cancellation of a Falling in Reverse show in Austin. According to Wyatt’s Metal, Truax provided detailed accounts of the conflict and accusations against the musician.
Truax explained the circumstances surrounding the canceled Austin show at the Moody Theater. The venue has a capacity of 15,000 seats. He clarified Lambgoat’s position on the matter and revealed that he personally verified details with the venue.
“It starts with the f*cking article, and again we have Lambgoat’s been around for 25 years. There are people everywhere who are Lambgoat supporters that have worked for Lambgoat,” Truax said. “We get news that he’s cancelling the Austin show at the Moody Theater, which by the way, it’s 15,000 seats. No one’s saying he’s not selling tickets. Like, we’ve never once said he didn’t sell tickets. He just didn’t sell enough tickets, allegedly for that particular event. And that’s why he quietly took it down, and that’s why he shared all those stupid text messages of like, ‘Yeah, we just removed the date this that the other.’ Also, I personally called the venue to verify. So I’ve got that also.”
Truax then escalated his allegations. He claimed Radke engaged in personal harassment and coordinated attacks against him and his associates.
“Ronald said he had someone look at my information. He called me on my phone. He posted my phone number in his monsters group. I have I still have all the phone numbers of these idiots that called me. He contacted my girlfriend. Ronald did. Seven o’clock in the morning. Because he’s got nothing better to do apparently than contact my girlfriend on Instagram,” Truax stated. “I mean, he said I had negative $5,000 in my bank account, which I don’t even know how that would be physically possible. I don’t know a bank that lets you get negative $5,000 in your account.”
Truax suggested that legal action has not been pursued for specific reasons. He implied that evidence of coordinated harassment exists.
“There are reasons why we haven’t gotten a cease and desist or any kind of defamation thing sent to Lambgoat. There is definitely a reason cuz they would have to do discovery on everything, you know, both his side and my side. So, that means he would have to give up his devices. And I would assume they’d find that he coordinates these kind of like weird attacks,” Truax explained. “I mean, inside that Ronsters group there there is like him telling his audience to harass these people. You know what I mean? To like gangs talking or whatever, right? Like there is a like there are there’s evidence of that. There are screenshots of that.”
Truax concluded by suggesting that while Radke may not be solely responsible for all harassment, he maintains significant influence over his fanbase through his online community.
“Ronald has these kinds of puppeteer kind of guys, and again he has that whole rosters group that he can tell people to go harass this that the other stuff. So like I’m sure that a lot of that stuff is coordinated in general at some level. I’m not saying that he’s the big giant mastermind. It could be just his fan base just being like raid loyal fan base,” he said.
The dispute centers on a significant tour cancellation that has become a point of contention between the two parties. Lambgoat reported that Falling in Reverse canceled their August 13, 2025, headlining show at Moody Center in Austin, Texas. The cancellation was part of their “God Is A Weapon” North America Tour. The initial report cited poor ticket sales as the reason for the cancellation. Ticketmaster notified fans through a generic message stating that the event organizer had canceled the show.
However, Ronnie Radke has publicly disputed this narrative. The Metal Verse documented that Radke called the low ticket sales claim a “flat-out lie.” In response to videos and social media posts, Radke stated that over 5,000 tickets had already been sold for the Austin show within two weeks. He claimed the event was likely to sell out. He suggested the cancellation was due to scheduling issues, specifically that too many shows were lined up consecutively, rather than poor ticket sales.
The cancellation was not an isolated incident. The Mosh reported that other tour dates, including Bristow, Virginia, were also canceled as part of the same tour adjustments. However, no official reason has been provided by the band or their management for these additional cancellations. Fans and industry observers have been left to speculate about the true cause.
The conflicting narratives between Lambgoat’s reporting and Radke’s public statements have fueled the ongoing feud. The dispute extends far beyond simple disagreements about ticket sales. The situation highlights the tension between music industry media outlets and artists, particularly when cancellations occur and explanations diverge significantly between the parties involved.
