-**"Ride With The Devil"** is a song by rock band [[dekkar]], released on January 28, 2024 as a standalone single. The single and music video were released on the same day band members [[axiom]] and [[manuel]] announced that former frontman [[tim]] would [[major_dekkar_announcement|no longer be a part of the band]], with [[corwin]] taking Tim's place as the third member of the band. The song alludes to the crashing of the [[vfatoursvan|tour bus]] during the band's [[dekkartour|2022 tour]] that left Axiom blinded and Manuel in a coma, and how Tim had apparently done this intentionally.

-<WRAP todo> Describe Tim's reaction </WRAP>
+The single received mostly positive reception online, racking up 11,000+ views on YouTube within two days. @Katiemoeser46 praised the song as an "anthem of independence"; this comment was later liked by the Dekkar YouTube channel.[(cite:comment>[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWsoQLYZ1X8&lc=UgzQBLl9bAjZ9vMag-54AaABAg|"What an anthem of independence for the DKR boys. ‘He took me down to his level!.’This is years of therapy. Good job axe and Manuel making it out ‘you gotta finish what you start’??? looking forward to more…."]])]
+Former frontman and alleged target of the song Tim Heidecker, referring to himself as T. Amato at the time of release, devoted an [[s14e05|emergency episode]] of //[[season14]]// to discussing the song and his removal from the band and blasted the song as one of the worst songs he had ever heard. The co-host, [[joey]], and episode guest [[larue]] agreed with T.'s statements, though [[gregg]] notably said the song [[greggandmusic|wasn't that bad]]. T. also told Axiom "fuck you" for insinuating he was the devil with his lyrics, and suggested that he and Manuel should be deported back to Italy.

+On a highway, going 90\\
+Pitch black with a top down riding\\
+Wind blowing, where we going\\
+I’m freezing right down to my bones\\
+I ain’t driving, just riding\\
+Thought I knew the man behind the wheel\\
+I used to be blind, but now I finally see\\
+All the wicked things that you’ve done to me\\
+I took a ride with the devil\\
+It took me down to his level\\
+But I’m rising up, rising up,\\
+And leaving all that behind\\
+I took a ride with the devil\\
+It took me down to his level\\
+But I’m rising up, rising up,\\
+And leaving all that behind\\
+When I think back, and I unpack\\
+All the memories that you gave to me\\
+One lighter, to set on fire\\
+All the lies you told in your cruel deceit\\
+You used to always say\\
+That brothers we would be\\
+But as far as I’m concerned\\
+You’re dead to me\\
+I took a ride with the devil\\
+It took me down to his level\\
+But I’m rising up, rising up,\\
+And leaving all that behind\\
+I took a ride with the devil\\
+It took me down to his level\\
+But I’m rising up, rising up,\\
+And leaving all that behind\\
+If I could take it all\\
+Take it back out to the start\\
+I’d tell my self to walk away\\
+Not to get into that car\\
+I wish I never met you, man\\
+I hope I never see your face\\
+But if I do, I’ll tell you\\
+You gotta finish what you start\\
+Ride, ride, ride with the devil\\
+Ride, ride, ride with the devil\\
+Ride, ride, ride with the devil\\
+Ride, ride, ride with the devil\\
+Ride, ride, ride with the devil (I took a ride with the devil)\\
+Ride, ride, ride with the devil (He took me down to his level)\\
+Ride, ride, ride with the devil\\
+Ride, ride, ride with the devil\\
+Ride, ride, ride with the devil (I took a ride with the devil)\\
+Ride, ride, ride with the devil (He took me down to his level)\\
+Ride, ride, ride with the devil\\
+Ride, ride, ride with the devil (I’m leaving all that behind)\\
+Ride, ride, ride with the devil (I took a ride with the devil)\\
+Ride, ride, ride with the devil (He took me down to his level)\\
+Ride, ride, ride with the devil\\
+Ride, ride, ride with the devil (I’m leaving all that behind)\\
+Ride, ride, ride with the devil (I took a ride with the devil)\\
+Ride, ride, ride with the devil (He took me down to his level)\\
+Ride, ride, ride with the devil (I’m rising up, rising up)\\
+Ride, ride, ride with the devil (I’m leaving all that behind)\\
+Ride, ride, ride with the devil (I took a ride with the devil)\\
+Ride, ride, ride with the devil (He took me down to his level)\\
