Kerrang! (UK) interviewed bassist, Rich Meyer, about the official “Bath Salts” video and the inspiration behind it.

Breakthrough single “Bath Salts” was inspired by Johnny’s overdose on an ill-advised narcotic cocktail. “A definitive [document] of those early days,” muses the bassist, “is the original Bath Salts video. We spent $600 on it in 2011. In it, Johnny does bath salts and turns into a zombie. He bites me and Ryan kills him with a hammer. At the end, I turn into a zombie.” …“It’s symbolic, for sure Johnny has a huge effect on our lives.”
