  • I sometimes wonder what Chris has been through in his life... with all this amazing standing up against bullying and for diversity and all the anger in his vocals. It's incredible
  • @doyooncha
    Chris seems to be a wonderful person and he has such a beautiful message, I'm glad to be a fan of MIW
  • The way he talks about people being bullied is so true because I was bullied a long time ago in school because of me being different and acting different then them. So I feel happy when he gives advice to people who are being bullied and telling them to listen to their kind of music
  • @LunarDemetria
    I freaking love this man and this band. I was bullied throughout middle and high school. And music was always my salvation when I had to go through it. I, as Chris said, went through it in silence, tried to show that it didn't hurt. When it was freaking painful. And when I discovered the MIW's music, I just heard the words that I needed so much. I literally found my home, my safe space. I adore MIW infinitely. Cause in this hell they are my paradise💔

    Have stuck with this band for so loooong because of what they represent & their music speaks so much to me 😭 I love chris so much such a genuine kind soul , I'm glad to have met him ❤️
  • "to create a safe space, u safe here and we're take care of you" that's so handsome and lovely ❤️ I know why I'm in love with this band.
  • I dont know what I like more his big dark brown eyes, them dimples or his voice. I could listen to him talk for hours. Chris Motionless is a fukin LION!!
  • Chris is incredible, honestly. We need more people like this in the world
  • @ellwie
    man I feel so bad about the whole tiktok video :( he was so excited. People are so fucking rude
  • @bittumandal9425
    So polite, kind, gentle, down to earth. That's the reason why I love Chris Motionless
  • I hope one day I get to meet Chris bc his music has helped my mental health so much
  • My goth soul feels so at home at gigs n dorky dancing whilst singing my heart out. Music is such a special art for all to enjoy. Great interview. I like h 5:32 ow you n rock sound ask unique questions and a genuine rapport with bands, especially with Chris. Finally saw MIW at London and I wish they could tour UK more. Think my wheelchair n I will have to travel to attend the festival they're planning. I'm here for anyone feeling harassed or anxious x
  • @sadieb7543

  • I relate to Chris so much, I was also bullied in school and his music and everything he does says about bullying helps me so much :) I'm glad to be your fan, Chris

    Chris motionless is one of a kind and badass. As cliche as it sounds, i was so happy to find his music in high school cause i knew there were others out there who thought like me. And 6 years later im still a huge fan. Their song thoughts and prayers and slaughterhouse have incredible lyrics and are musically amazing 🤘🏻
  • He’s really matured over the years. He seems so much kinder and more hospitable. Good on him.
  • @pebb2378
    Their music helped me so much in my teens ❤
