Controversies
Chris Fronzak has been involved in a few controversial situations. One of his biggest controversies regards Senses Fail's singer, Buddy Nielsen. In 2014, Nielsen attacked Attila for the song Proving Grounds, stating that the song insulted the LGBT community. Fronz replied to Nielsen "If you think I'm homophobic in any way possible, you're clearly either an idiot or you're in a washed-up band that nobody cares about". During Warped Tour in 2015, Attila and Senses Fail toured together and Fronz accused them of leaving a sign at the Attila merch table calling them "homophobes", moreover he accused Buddy Nielsen of spending every day on stage "to talk shit about Attila". In April 2015, during a concert in Perth, Fronz was assaulted on stage, he eventually responded by retaliating against an innocent bystander, and apologizes. A diss song entitled "Callout", which was released in 2013, featured numerous attacks against the likes of Jonny Craig, Ronnie Radke, Christofer Drew, and Mike Reynolds. On February 15, 2018, Attila self released a sequel song titled "Callout 2" in which Fronz called out more than 50 people for different reasons, including Logan Paul, RiceGum, Bhad Bhabie, Harvey Weinstein, Offset, Martin Shkreli, Westboro, Buddy Nielsen, Jeffree Star, Danny Worsnop, Denis Stoff, Tim Lambesis, Frankie Palmeri, Conor McGregor, Kim Kardashian, Ronda Rousey, Tyler Carter, 6ix9ine, and more than other people causing a lot of reactions by the community and the people involved. Fronz eventually explained some days later the meaning behind the song. On August 22, 2018, during a Las Vegas concert, he assaulted a nearby security guard by punching him in the back of the head and then throwing his microphone. According to Fronzak, his motive for the outburst was that the security were being too rough when handling audience members.
