Escape The Fate's Max Green talks The Heroin Diaries

A book can be a powerful thing. Just ask Max Green, bassist and founding member of Escape the Fate, whose new self-titled album came out on Interscope last week. Green, who has been very open to the public about his struggles with drug addiction, found solace and help in Nikki Sixx’s recent memoir The Heroin Diaries, which details the Motley Crue bassist’s ongoing issue with heroin. Here Green discuss how he discovered this book, why it’s helped him and how he believes it can aid others.

Describe this book in one sentence.

Comforting.

How did you first come across this book?
I was dating this girl and she was into reading a lot. She bought a book for me called The Dirt by Motley Crue. I read that book and it was a really good book. In the back of the book it said Nikki Sixx was coming out with a book called The Heroin Diaries about his struggle with addiction and things like that. It goes deeper into his life than The Dirt did. So I was really interested in reading that book because at the time I was struggling with an addition myself. I read the back of the book and read some reviews about it and had to get it. He holds nothing back. All the nitty gritty is there. The worst of the worst and the best of the best. The goal is to let people know they’re not alone and not to let it happen to them and if it has happened to them he can relate.

How long ago did you first read it?
I probably read it two years ago.

How many times have you read it?
I’ve read it twice. Once during my first struggle [with addiction] and once during my second.

Have you passed it on to anyone else?
I have. That’s how much of an impact this book made in my life. I’ve recommended it to kids at our shows. I put my whole life out there for the whole world to know— to know when I’m doing well, to know when I’m winning my battle against drugs and addiction. If kids ask, I tell the truth. When they ask, “Hey how did you do this?” I recommend this book to them.

What is it about the book that is specifically helpful?
When you’re in that zone and you need help, you feel like no one understands you and no one can relate to you. But reading that book it’s crazy because he lets himself be a human being. He shows the world that he’s a human being. A lot of the stuff he did in that book when his life was spinning out of control were a lot of the same things I was doing in my life. I thought, “No one understands, I’m just a terrible person.” But no, I’m not. This guy is someone I idolize who has influenced me as a visionary in his band. That’s me. I’m started my band and everything in my band is my vision. I look up to Nikki Sixx for all that stuff and to know I went down the same path he did and I did a lot of the same things he did brought comfort to me and made me feel like I’m not alone.

Is there a specific emotion you associate with the book?
I’m not sure what emotion this would be but it gave me chills. Almost every chapter gave me chills once or twice.

Do you keep a diary of your struggles the way Nikki Sixx did?
Actually after that book it inspired me to keep a journal. I try to do it on a daily basis. I don’t go any longer than a week without writing in it. This book is a real life changer. For someone like me anyway. I know there’s other people out there like me too.

Who should read this book?
Really the book is more than just for people struggling with addiction. It’s also really just a good story as well. It has such tremendous highs and lows. It really takes you to another place. The book is for anyone struggling with a problem or something like that, but it’s really just a crazy book that any normal person can like. And when I say normal person I mean any random person on the street. I could probably recommend this book to any person and they’d go tell their friends about it after they read it. It’s really interesting.

Is this the type of book you usually read?
Yeah. I’m not a big reader. For me to read a book I need something that will keep your attention. I need something that’s a page-turner. I recommend Dave Navarro’s Don’t Try This At Home. That’s a great read. The Dirt by Motley Crue is a great book to read. I need a book where shit’s going down and I want to keep reading.

Has it influenced your music?
I’ve never really thought about it, but I would say yeah. It makes you feel strong at the end of the day. It gives you chills. It motivated me to get out there. Not just sit around, but take action. I remember reading that book when we were in Australia and I was kicking a lot of withdrawals. I’d go and read that book and then I’d put on an amazing show because it gave me power in a weird way. I’d go out and I’d do the best that I could.

ESCAPE THE FATE PULLS OUT OF EUROPEAN TOUR WITH BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE AS BASSIST MAX GREEN ENTERS REHAB

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ESCAPE THE FATE PULLS OUT OF EUROPEAN TOUR WITH BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE AS BASSIST MAX GREEN ENTERS REHAB

Santa Monica, California, November 11, 2010 - Escape The Fate will not be joining Bullet For My Valentine on their European tour that kicks off this weekend in Helsinki, Finland. Instead the band will remain in the states to support their band mate, bassist Max Green, as he enters an undisclosed rehab for drug and alcohol addiction.

“Max needs his friends and family by his side, so we’re not gonna leave him,” says lead singer Craig Mabbitt. “Max is one of my best friends and has never done this band wrong in any way shape or form. It's very honorable of him to admit he has a problem and wants to seek help for the longevity of his life and this band. I'm so sorry to the fans, but so proud of Max. He needs our love and support through this rough time in his life, so let's give it to him. Our soldiers never let us down and we will be back to play Europe and the two London dates very soon. We love you guys.”

Escape The Fate will headline a string of European dates in early 2011. Tickets for the two London headline shows that were scheduled for December 6th and 7th at the Islington Academy will be honored when these shows are rescheduled early next year. Check www.escapethefate.com for updates.

When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But darlin' when I hold you
Don't you know I feel the same
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain
We've been through this
Such a long long time
Just tryin' to kill the pain
Yeahh..
But lovers always come
And lovers always go
And no one's really sure
Who's lettin' go today
Walking away
If we could take the time
To lay it on the line
I could rest my head
Just knowin' that you were mine
All mine
So if you want to love me
Then darlin' don't refrain
Or I'll just end up walkin'
In the cold November rain

Do you need some time
On your own
Do you need some time
All alone
Everybody needs some time
On their own
Don't you know you need some time
All alone

I know it's hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn't time be out to charm you

Sometimes I need some time
On my own
Sometimes I need some time
All alone
Everybody needs some time
On their own
Don't you know you need some time
All alone

And when your fears subside
And shadows still remain
I know that you can love me
When there's no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
Even cold November rain

Don't ya think that you
Need somebody
Don't ya think that you
Need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one

Don't ya think that you
Need somebody
Don't ya think that you
Need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one

Don't ya think that you
Need somebody
Don't ya think that you
Need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one

Don't ya think that you
Need somebody
Don't ya think that you
Need someone
Everybody needs somebody

The Aftermath (G3)

All of their bodies around me.

I hear their voices inside.

The battle's over.

This war has been won.

Visions haunt me in my dreams.

Visions of what I've done.

So much blood shed.

Now am I worthy to come home.

My God forgive me

For all of the bodies

I've taken in batter.

Oh God don't forsake me.

I will stand right by your side.

I have made it through the fight.

Now I'm coming home,

Now I'm coming home.

I will stand right by your side.

I have made it through the fight.

Now I'm coming home,

Now I'm coming home.

I've been knee deep in water.

It's time to be set free.

So devastated.

The damage has been done.

So violated. Like I've been

raped and left for dead.

I'm lying naked.

I'm lying naked on the floor.

My God forgive me

For all of the bodies

I've taken in battle.

All's fair in love and war.

I will stand right by your side.

I have made it through the fight.

Now I'm coming home,

Now I'm coming home.

I will stand right by your side.

I have made it through the fight.

Now I'm coming home,

Now I'm coming home,

Yeah, I'm coming home.

This is the last time I

raise a fist to fight.

Reach out your hands to me

and let's just disappear.

This is the last time I

raise a fist to fight.

Reach out your hands to me

let's just disappear.

I will stand right by your side.

I have made it through the fight.

Now I'm coming home,

I'm coming

I will stand right by your side.

I have made it through the fight.

Now I'm coming home,

Now I'm coming home.

I will stand right by your side.

I have made it through the fight.

Now I'm coming home,

Yeah, I'm coming home

I'm coming home

This is the last time I

raise a fist to fight.

Reach out your hands to me

let's just disappear

let's just disappear.

Escape The Fate

Hoy, 02.11.10, un día común para muchos, pero muy esperado por otros. Me incluyo en el segundo grupo. Todo el tiempo con cosas nuevas, este año sobre todo, desde mayo que se sabía que pisarían el suelo argentino, toda la previa hasta el 27 de julio. Desde hace bastante tiempo se sabía que este año salía el nuevo disco, pero la fecha se dio a conocer un tiempito atrás ^__^ Por lo menos desde mayo estaba esperando The Aftermath (G3), cuyo nombre se dio a conocer bastante antes de las noticias del album.

En general, está de mas aclarar que el album me encantó, mas allá de los cambios los cuales todos los fans de Escape The Fate conocemos, el album fue simplemente espectacular. Para empezar, todos sabemos que es otro estilo, diferente al viejo ETF y diferente a This War Is Ours también. Es algo diferente, pero así mismo me encantó. Desde la primera vez que lo escuché quedé enamorada y desde ese entonces estuve con la misma lista de reproducción.

¿Uno por uno?

Choose Your Fate: La mejor introducción que podrían haber elegido para el disco, alucinante, hermosa, perfecta. Está en la net desde hace ya bastante, pero es simplemente perfecta.

Massacre: Primer single del album, y uno de los mejores. Me acuerdo que salió un día a las 3 am. (argentina) y me quedé euforica toda la noche para escucharlo. Me encanta, me encanta la letra, la musica, todo ^_^, me encanta que el final tenga la misma onda que Choose Your Fate, porque engancha perfecto.

Issues: No voy a decir mucho de este tema, se filtró 4 días antes de la publicación original y la verdad no me había gustado mucho, me quedé esperando el screamo que nunca apareció. Finalmente se me pegó el tema, me gusta y todo, pero es de los que menos escucho del CD. El video es hermoso y creo que eso hizo que me adapte mas a él... al fin y al cabo hay que aceptar los cambios de una banda.

Zombie Dance: ¿Extraño? Si, raro, diferente a los otros. Está bueno y su intruducción promete mucho, mucho... que lo cumple. El nombre solo no me daba la sensación de que sería como realmente es, pero me gustó mucho :3 Me acuerdo que cuando salió el avance, se cortaba JUSTO cuando estaba por empezar el estribillo, y me daba alta bronca. Amo cuando craig dice "terrified".

Gorgeous Nightmare: Me fascina. Amo la intro, la amo, y la letra es algo asi como menos seria pero asimismo me identifica mucho y creo que, a pesar de ser entendible al leer, tiene un rulo en la letra que hay que pensarlo. Capáz al principio parece media al aire, pero todo se conecta perfectamente *.*

City Of Sin: La introducción de esta canción es la unica cosa que le cambiaría al album, LA UNICA. Es igualmente igual a la intruducción de Bad Blood, es como si fuese un autoplagio. Cuando escuché el avance le tenía toda la fe, porque era muy pegadiza y parecía ser muy copada, pero cuando la escuché entera me dio bronca lo de la intro. Igual, sacando la intro, la amo, es perfecta... es una de las que mas escucho, me fascina y amo cuando craig susurra "City of sin", me encanta me encanta esa parte, siempre le subo el volumen.

Day Of Wreckoning: La tocaron en vivo antes de que salga, pero no se entendía mucho, no se podía apreciar demaciado. Cuando escuché a craig gritar fui feliz y me di cuenta de que el disco se venia con todo, y que no me iban a decepcionar *.* Me encanta este tema, se vino con todo.

Lost In Darkness: uno de los que más fe le tenia cuando salió la tracklist. Esta cancion es terriblemente genial, la letra es asombrosa.. y el que no la leyó se esta perdiendo bastante. La amo, es simplemente genial *.*

Prepare Your Weapon: Creo que está entre las favoritas de muchos, y me incluyo. Tiene un potencial increíble este tema, es espectacular... me encanta como se vino y se me puso la piel de gallina cuando la escuché *.*

World Around Me: no me alcanzan las palabras para decir lo que se volvió esta canción para mi. A pesar de ser el tema lento del album, de ser diferente, de ser todo lo que quieran que sea: es uno de los que mas me gustó. Ese piano increíble que tiene me conquista cada vez que lo escucho. La letra también me identifica mucho, aunque creo que tambien tiene un rulito por ahí. Creo que a todos nos gustó, y el que no... se pierde de mucho. Amo esta canción con todo mi ser.

The Aftermath (G3): Mi favorito. Como se esperaba, y como yo lo esperaba también. Lo esperaba desde mayo, y por fin se me dió. El mejor tema del album sin dudas. Me gusta todo, y cuando digo todo incluyo TODO: introducción, estrofas (tanto la música como la letra), estribillo (idem), el solo, el final, todo, TODO. El primer grito cuando empieza me hizo llorar cuando la empecé a escuchar, y cuando escuché que ETF hizo un solo de mas de 1 minuto se me puso la piel de gallina al ver como crecieron mis idolos. Lo amo, el mejor tema sin dudas.

Liars and Mosters: lo defino como ¿extraño? sí. Es extraño y muy diferente a los del album, me gusta. Es pegadizo y tiene mucha onda *.* Muy buen tema se mandaron.

The Final Blow: Uno de los temas que mas me gustó del album también, tiene una intro genial y un solo (corto pero muy bueno) y amo el grito que pega Craig antes que empiece.

Issues (Ruxpin Remix): No mucho mas que decir, me gustó mas que el otro remix que tienen (TWIO), y está bueno para una fiesta punchi punchi, no para escuchar en el celular.. pero bueno ^__^

En conclusión, el album me encantó con todas sus letras, y con signos de admiración (!!), me parece que el album con respecto al orden va creciendo, o eso me parece a mi... los temas finales son los que casualmente me van gustando más, sobretodo porque el ultimo tema de la edición común es mi favorito. :3

Me encantó este album, gracias Escape The Fate por darme esta alegría tan grande. Los amo.

Happy Birthday Anthony (:

Happy birthday to the singer of one of my childhood favourite bands ♥ Anthony Kiedis happy 48 years, love you ^__^
