“Being Right Can Kill You” — The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus Get Real at Aftershock

From deep philosophy to total chaos — this Sultans of Slack interview with The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus at Aftershock Festival has everything.

Frontman Ronnie Winter breaks down the meaning behind their powerful lyrics (“Be right or be happy”), dives into the story behind “X’s For Eyes,” and opens up about spirituality, addiction, and what happiness really means in 2025.

Then things take a hard left turn — into Idaho nuclear meltdowns, All-American Rejects sightings, and a startup idea for onstage porta-potties called “Stage Piss.” 😂

This episode has heart, humor, and honesty — exactly what makes Red Jumpsuit timeless.

🎙️ Highlights:

The real meaning behind “Do You Feel Like a Man”
Ronnie’s collaboration with producer Matt Squire, “the godfather of emo”
How “X’s For Eyes” came together in just four days
Philosophical breakdown: Being right vs. being happy
Festival chaos, stage fright, and one very weird business idea

Recorded live at Aftershock Festival — hosted by Sultans of Slack, the rock & metal podcast that keeps it loud, loose, and a little unhinged.
