FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH singer Ivan Moody has introduced his own answer to Jimmy Kimmel's popular comedy bit "Celebrities Read Mean Tweets". In the six-minute video below, Moody can be seen reacting to trolling at its most acute by reading the comments that were posted below BLABBERMOUTH.NET's most recent FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH story, headlined "Five Finger Death Punch Guitarist Says Ivan Moody Is 'Sober' And 'Happy' With 'A Totally New Outlook On Life'".

Moody said that he was sober but massively hung over during his onstage meltdown in Europe last summer, with the band sending him home after that and later welcoming him back on a "probationary" basis after both Phil Labonte from ALL THAT REMAINS and Tommy Vext from BAD WOLVES filled in on a couple of tours.
