Emmure’s Frankie Palmeri: The Metal Injection Interview

Given that, much like us, our friends over at Metal Injection have given Emmure’s Frankie Palmeri enough shit to fill an entire continent, it was pretty brave of them to sit down with Palmeri for an interview recently — and, grrrr I hate admitting this, pretty classy of Palmeri to do the interview and demonstrate that he’s relatively good natured about the whole thing. (He does make some insulting quips from time to time, but even those seem mostly like gentle ribbing, and not anything worth getting legitimately offended over.)

Maybe the most interesting thing about the interview, though, is that Palmeri comes across as a thoughtful and articulate guy — his explanation for the whole Cold Soul t-shirt controversy is far more reasonable than the one he presented at the time (although the disconnect between his intent and the actual product continues to suggest that the whole endeavor was misguided from the get-go).

Watch the interview below and see what you think. Frankie even manages to get through the entire thing without referencing aliens or Street Fighter once!
