Love that all ages are RENegade Fans. Music brings us all together and is ageless. Myself, I am in my fifties and was bitten by a tick over a decade ago… all the ‘things’ Lyme & Co related but now in remission. REN’s music was and is ageless lit relatable.
@@angelribs Well, I'm 77 and because of Ren I now have Hope for my life and for the future. I'm a real person who has experienced nearly eight decades of living so I have felt pain, disappointment, fear, anger, chronic illness and frustration. Ren has looked at all of us straight in the eyes to express solidarity, an empathetic recognition of our individual and collective human suffering. Through his own experiences he has acquired the wisdom needed to carry on when the road ahead has looked physically and emotionally impossible. Ren showed me the enormous power of accepting the cards I've been dealt while simultaneously living the best life possible under the circumstances. Besides empathy and compassion, Ren is a shining example of creatively clear thinking. We may feel heart-broken and our bodies may be broken or very old, but if we can make a choice in our thinking, we can choose to accept our situation and carry on from there without continuing to carry the weight of our sadness and ancient disappointments. It is blissfully freeing for those of us of all ages to consciously decide to give up our mental suffering and stop thinking about all of it. It is what it is. By his example, Ren shows us how to approach living the rest of our lives doing whatever it is that gives us most Joy. He's a wise and skillful teacher. Just because a lot of older people love Ren and have similar comments doesn't mean our comments are fake ones. We're all expressing genuine appreciation and love for a genius the likes of whom we have never experienced but have needed very much. We love Ren dearly!
It's aĺl in the past ren.. With your skills ì believe you can top all the songs you have ever done noŵ with àll you now know¡! You are growing every moment. Debate from both sides and go seek the truth or let your fans decide after you enlighten them to aĺl possible viewpoints. Your dedication to fan̈s is a proof of your dedication to being a leader or teacher. So glad you are not selling out😮❤❤❤
It is always interesting and engaging listening to Ren as he switches between "lad mode" and "deep thinker mode". What a complex, authentic and talented chap! I just hope his health improves. (From one chronic illness person to another.)
You know whenever you come to the states, you just might get a welcome as big as the Beatles. You're gonna be listened to & loved by future generations.
He will become the number one artist on the planet. The craziest thing is he still is relatively unknown compared to say….Taylor Swift. He really is one of a kind
I love Ren so much I could listen and watch him all day. So compelling. His spirit, his passion, his heart, his intuition..... so many wonderful parts to him ❤
Ren, some 35 years ago, in the middle school I sang in girls‘ choir. At one of the competitions the choir before us was a Bulgarian octet, they were warming up and we almost sh.tet our pants.. the volume of their voices was so scary that our choir leader has to persuade us to go on the stage 😅 I can still feel the vibrations in that small room, when I think back 🥰 go to Bulgaria and enjoy it, their different vocal techniques are out of this world 🤩🤩🤩 cheers from Slovenia 🇸🇮
@Renegades-Roots 🥹 Awe thank you so much! You don't have to do that! I don't know what it entales or how it works. You have to pay for it? I love you for the offer😊 But they could possibly end up here anyway? I better be good and stay away from another platform 😂
I just tried to reply, says it shows 3 replies but is not showing mine😅 I love you for the offer Maddy! I don't know how it works. If you have to pay for it you don't have to! I should probably stay away anyway 😂 Edit: my 1st comment is showing now😂
💛I like your Triquetra tattoo Ren. Thank you for taking the manure thrown your way and using it to grow roses. Stay true please don’t ever change. Forever Blessed Be.💛
You definitely seem more with it these days. I wouldn’t say you looked tired and like you had brain fog before, but I can see that you don’t have that as bad anymore. Your physical and mental energy definitely looks revitalized, I’m really happy for you Ren.
Clap, clap, clap. This is me congratulating you, because, not only are you doing everything right, however, you are teaching every up and coming artists the pitfalls to avoid through your own experience. Top man, well done.
I still listen to my Sic Boi cd daily 🥰 The song is brilliant REN! I knew you were going to handle this with your skills and wit always a fan from Tennessee
I’m devo’d. I had it on my Spotify playlists only. It was such an emotive song. If I wanted to get pumped up , Sic Boi was it. Now I listen to Kujos beatdown.
You won't believe this Ren, but I came across your music and art from the tribal people reaction of Indian elderly men! You're a blessing indeed... Big love from South Africa!!!
I didn't realise you restarted the stream after it crashed. Thanks for uploading it here! I added a pig mask to my studio console tonight as a tribute to you, and a reminder that my dark side is a part of me and has a right to be released in controlled environments. You helped calm 50 years of turmoil in my head, and I can't thank you enough. - A newish fan
Ren, I am in my 60s. I do remember growing up in my family/ friends sitting around the dinner table having a discussion on a topic. Everyone has a different slant. You learn that way. No one bent out of shape. Now a days can get violent. Ridiculous. Wish it would go back to civil conversations and everyone is respected. ❤❤.
Why didn't anyone ask what that white bit was on the back of the sofa? I didn't watch live, but every time he said "any questions?" I was itching for someone to say something 😂
Good on you, Ren, for many things. You handled your business, kept all of the RENegades focused, and paved the way for new music. We are all looking forward to it. Hopefully you are in a good headspace.
❤ This was a fun stream. It had been awhile so it was nice just to listen to the stories and know how you're doing. You were right about some of us noticing different things related to health changes. I couldnt put my finger on it until towards the end. You seemed calm and relaxed . Kind of like a sigh of relief after insane chaos. So nice to see you happy, healthy and at home. ❤ ❤
The song is amazing Ren,what an amazing way to get your feelings out. Your talent is incredible Ren ❤❤ You should be so proud of this song. We all feel anger and have a breaking point, you can express yours with your art. I had an accident when i was 20 and have been in a wheelchair ever since, listening to music saved me, its so powerful 😊
Thank you for uploading this, I was having trouble getting it to load and then I had to go do therapy part way through. I was bummed I had to miss so much I wanted to tell you, you've inspired me to tell my broken wrist to fuck off and I'm starting to teach myself violin. I'm barely started, but I'm a quick learner and I'm dreaming of someday being able to create some actual music with it and not just dying cat noises #freesocks4josh PS: Thanks for taking care of our boi, Josh
Thank you for being the fantastic man that you are. Its so refreshing to see someone so genuine and truthful and transparent. You make everyone feel like they have this cool friend that just keeps getting better. Stay your beautiful self.
Love the new place and tat....also great to see you looking so happy :) Your message about bringing people together, not dividing is powerful and needed :)
Amazing! You are gorgeous! Anger is an emotion.. and it generally is a secondary emotion to hurt. In the words of the amazing artist Johnny Rotten: Anger is an energy.. gratitude to Johnny and Westwood that have shown how to redirect those feelings into a more productive and meaningful way of expressing feelings! Gratitude
You have taught me more in a year, since I found you. I hope I get to thank you in person someday. Wow REN, thanks for sharing all you share. It is ALL so healing to so many of us. You, like Bowie did for me at 15, make Everyone feel perfect as is - all fucked up inside and struggling. You make everything ok to feel. You have freed ME artistically, at 67.
Qu'elle voix et beau visage Ren je vous love depuis la France tout mon soutien courage force REN quel talent de ouf rayonnant TOUT VA BIEN REN BISOUS DE PATOU longue vie Soyez béni abondamment 🙏💖👍👏🔥😘🎤🎶🎼🎸
Man, the part where you're talking about saying things that pull on people's ❤ strings while maintaining composure... That tugs my ❤ strings! What a next level skill to be able to wield, hopefully righteously, to make the world the kind of place we want to live in. I think we can often tell the difference of someone who is saying something because it sounds like the right thing to say, and the person who says it because they are deeply affected emotionally, in ways you probably can't recognize. Cheers for that and for Russell to help you in such a moment
Beat down was well deserved! 👏👏 I’ll look forward to seeing you in the states. I doubt Minnesota but I would travel wherever to see you perform live. Glad you’re feeling better day by day. Take care.
Love all the symbolism. That's what art is regardless of the form it takes (visual, sound, smell, etc.). I read "Slaughterhouse 5" many years ago and remember that I liked it a lot. Now I want to get a copy to re-read because I don't remember the story well. Your work also seems to include a lot of references to "Animal House" by George Orwell, another book I read multiple times but can't find my hard copy. Probably gonna get another copy of that as well. Thanks for the recommendation/reminders (even if unintentional...lol). I totally agree with you (almost to the point where I questioned intentions about how brilliantly this Sick Boi story has been playing out). As much as an annoyance it might be, things happen for a reason even if we might not clearly see while in the thick of things. The more drama attached to it, the more opportunity for the audience to grow and the story to expand. Very happy to see that you look much healthier and seem to be feeling better with a positive aura. MLAR ❤
You're incredible bro. I'm glad I've found your voice. It's so important to be able to channel that anger. You did it brilliantly. Any plans for choir involvement in any other tracks? All the best from Edinburgh.
M8 🖤Thank you posting this. Nothing better than listening to you ramble on to help me sleep 💤 😂 jk Props to you and the rest of the crew for such a wicked job on the KBD ✌🖤
Just means that I will have to purchase your album again, with the new improved version of Sick Boy. Happy to do so, I shall purchase your album 2.0, and help get it to number 1 also. Respect you Ren, good luck going forward.
I dont know how twitch streamers read comments so quickly...,you ask, " how did you like the song?" omg it scrolled so fast with love and respect! Ren, you look really well, vibrant and healthy, its so great to see. Love your smile mate xxxxx
Ren, Loved the #KujoBeatDown video and have watched it many times! I also watched this livestream at the time, but it was 4am in Brisbane, so I was too tired for a thoughtful comment! Catching it again, I am finding all kinds of gems I forgot! Great to learn the meaning of your tats via the tour! You also totally took me back when imitating the dialup sound and talking about MSN messenger 🤣 I was an AOL kid being in the USA back then! The feet wiki investment cracked me up too! I would love a Big Push reunion! Cool to hear that Russell Crowe seems like a proper nice guy! REMAINING QUESTION: I also loved the symbolism explanation of the video, though I was REALLY hoping you would explain what actual words the choir sang in this version! Have you discussed that anywhere? I have seen a lot of guesses, but I could clearly make any of them out. #RenMakesStuff #KujoBeats
The song is BRILLIANT ❤and a PERFECT way to RELEASE ANGER! It’s obvious hearing you now it has. You’re the best, I listen to your music every day. ❤❤❤❤❤
Hey Ren! Support here from North Wales! We're made of tough stuff in Wales! Stay safe, and it's lovely to see you looking so well! The song was just perfect, not too much, just right! Take care, Ceri x
I’m new to the world of Ren. I liked Hi Ren when it came out, but I didn’t go down the rabbit hole back then. I started down it just before your video about this situation came out, and that was the catalyst to disappear into it completely. I’m sure this beef will work in your favour in the long run, even if there’s a blip now. I haven’t ever seen an artist that I thought so deserving of support, I want you to be free to create more, you’re so talented and emotive, and I can’t wait to see how your career evolves. I’m buying your music and merch, the Sick Boi album is just so beautiful, I don’t want to stop listening. Also, you’re so funny, thanks for this, I wasn’t on twitch
You are awesome Ren. It's sad you have to go through this situation.... I hope there will not be a need for Part 2, but if it comes to that point, I'm sure it will be wickedly clever as usual!!!
I hope we are going back to Live Twitch Streams after every new drop! I just paid for a 3 month subscription to Ren's Twitch channel. I have A Celtic Knot tattoo similar to Ren's but mine is on the back of my neck and my best friend got one the same day as me so we had matching tattoos! Ours are over 20 years old tho. 😂😂😂
I really like the fact that your are a positive and genuine person all the way around. There needs to be more people like you in the world. It's only when "I" becomes "WE" that we can meaningfully define humanity. I wholeheartedly believe this, and really hope that people around the world can gravitate towards this mindset. I enjoy your artistry and you as a person. Keep being your authentic self!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you! I was able to watch most of this, but it’s still so nice for those who were too busy. Plus, I like going back and watching the streams too ❤
I’m obsessed with the song and it has helped me to realized I should write about finally ending my relationship with my toxic father. Thank you for showing me a healthy way to heal 💕
I love listening when you speak, sing, rap, etc... I love how you interact with people. You are a genuine, intelligent young man. (I am a much older women that never thought she would be listening to rap in any way, shape or form, you changed my mind ) You shed LIGHT on the dark parts of society and life in such a poetic and intelligent way. The parts of society and life many people don't or won't talk about but need and should talk about. You paint such a vivid picture with your words and videos and I love that. There are many people hearing you and spreading your words and stories. Your personal journey brings up so many emotions but gives people hope and also educates people. I work in a high school with students that struggle and your videos help me understand more of what these kids might be going through. My role is in an academic manner, working with their teachers and case managers in order to help them through their classes, but academics is sometimes tertiary to making sure they feel safe in every way. Okay, now my Mama Bear is going to come out a bit (I have a son around your age). Please, take care of yourself. I know your personal struggle is not over. Sending positive and healing thoughts. Hugs
It is good to see you back on Twitch Ren thank you for reposting this on TH-cam I was watching it and my internet went down so I now I get to finish watching it ,,, so happy to see doing so well ... you are looking so much healthier loving the new songs so far many blessings
Freaking amazing!!! I'm 61 dealt with mental part, runs in my family passed down to kids ... that song got my attention all-out songs have kept my attention. Proud of how you!!!How you handled this situation!!!! Keep it up Ren! I also have a daughter struggling with bipolar living on the streets.37 sick since college 19.
So sorry you've been put through this, and while I wouldn't wish a repeat, I have to admit it was a bit refreshing to see you let go. Quite human. It's enjoyable to see a version of the internal fantasy we've all had after someone did us dirty. Very relatable. So, thank you. Also, I'm really glad the GF was included. I've seen a number of male react uncomfortably - the whole women/children off-limits attitude. I get that, but as a woman who reads a lot of urban fantasy, I particularly enjoy a FMC who can kick ass. And if you can kick, you need to be able to take a lick, too. It's actually a little irritating that these well-intentioned reactors are basically saying women are weaker and need to be treated delicately. This is art/fantasy; F that. Everyone needs to be called out. That's equal. Thats fair. So, again, thank you. P.S. Thank you for mentioning literature. Maybe it'll trend. LOL. P.P.S. Love the inclusion of the live choir (as opposed to the unlicensed sample). Hilarious... and their deaths at "LEGALLY" 😅 RE: appropriation, have you seen Vik Muniz' work? His Memory Rendering series takes the discussion into interesting territory. You might like it. ✌️
Oh Ren. Where have you been? Where have I been? I’m so glad I got to experience your art. I am astonished with the depth and pure artistry. Love from the US
I am quite new to ren only last 2 weeks and his story is just so captivating i am nearly in my mid 50's and ive never seen an artist like him 😊 amazing talent and i am only scratching the service the latest track is off the charts beautifully brutal and honest love the way you express yourself what a amazing human being x hope you are doing well x
I'm 77, no attention to popular music, but I LOVE you!!!!!
that's so cool!
I'm old too, he's great!!
Love that all ages are RENegade Fans. Music brings us all together and is ageless. Myself, I am in my fifties and was bitten by a tick over a decade ago… all the ‘things’ Lyme & Co related but now in remission. REN’s music was and is ageless lit relatable.
We all do 😂
Love it ❤
Love you Ren, this 86 year old lady can’t get enough of your music. Keep going appreciate you a lot.❤❤❤
cheers - - - we all need to get together !!
@@alysmarcus7747 Renegades are all about caring & helping each other. Love & Peace❤️

I was hoping youd work with the Bulgarian choir . They are victims in this too.. great idea Ren
It is always interesting and engaging listening to Ren as he switches between "lad mode" and "deep thinker mode". What a complex, authentic and talented chap! I just hope his health improves. (From one chronic illness person to another.)
Ren; half my age, twice my wisdom.
Ren; more than twice my age, definitely more than twice my wisdom
Special wise soul

This human is so special
We are lucky to have him in our lives
🙏
Respect
Amen.

You also totally took me back when imitating the dialup sound and talking about MSN messenger 🤣 I was an AOL kid being in the USA back then! The feet wiki investment cracked me up too! I would love a Big Push reunion! Cool to hear that Russell Crowe seems like a proper nice guy! REMAINING QUESTION: I also loved the symbolism explanation of the video, though I was REALLY hoping you would explain what actual words the choir sang in this version! Have you discussed that anywhere? I have seen a lot of guesses, but I could clearly make any of them out. #RenMakesStuff #KujoBeats
It's sooooooooo good to have Ren back live streaming!
Aw REN, love you man, you are looking healthy& great.
❤️🙏
The song is BRILLIANT ❤and a PERFECT way to RELEASE ANGER! It’s obvious hearing you now it has. You’re the best, I listen to your music every day. ❤❤❤❤❤
Hey Ren! Support here from North Wales! We're made of tough stuff in Wales! Stay safe, and it's lovely to see you looking so well! The song was just perfect, not too much, just right! Take care, Ceri x
Thanks for sharing this mean lot love your music and your words are so ture from Wales ❤
I would never disrespect you and I'm behind you every step of the way ❤❤❤
I wish I could have been there! I hope I get a chance in the future. Thanks for posting the video!!
I’m new to the world of Ren. I liked Hi Ren when it came out, but I didn’t go down the rabbit hole back then. I started down it just before your video about this situation came out, and that was the catalyst to disappear into it completely. I’m sure this beef will work in your favour in the long run, even if there’s a blip now. I haven’t ever seen an artist that I thought so deserving of support, I want you to be free to create more, you’re so talented and emotive, and I can’t wait to see how your career evolves. I’m buying your music and merch, the Sick Boi album is just so beautiful, I don’t want to stop listening. Also, you’re so funny, thanks for this, I wasn’t on twitch
Loved joining you on twitch ❤
That smile REN 🥰🥰🥰 melts my heart ❤️
Thank you! Was hoping this would be saved! #freejosh
I don't know who put it in the chat, but #freesockboi had me rolling. 🤣
Team #NoSocksForJosh
Please post choir lyrics. (Love the instrumental version too.)
Appeal the youtube strike.
God bless you man.
Thank you Ren.❤ I remember ages ago on Twitch you thought my question Hufflepuff or Jigglypuff was funny!😂
Peace and love from california.....your amazing and so are all your mates..shoutout to your whole musical family
Im so glad I have the C.D. and I hope you get the resolution you're looking for. The song was brilliant.
Also the song still exists and will still impact the world . :p :p
You are one of the good ones. Such a beautiful human.
That tattoo on your back really hits home. Love that poem. You are a wise old/young soul. x
You are awesome Ren. It's sad you have to go through this situation.... I hope there will not be a need for Part 2, but if it comes to that point, I'm sure it will be wickedly clever as usual!!!
Well done Ren your doing an incredible job as usual mate! Hello from Anglesey!!
Ren is so fun!! Love him ☺️ Also appreciate the open honesty; it’s awesome to follow his life’s journey. Praying for his good fortune ❤
#keepjoshcooking 😂
It’s all about the fun! Good energy thinking towards The Big Push.
I loved being part of that live chat and loved the beat down. Always be amazing :) 😻
I hope we are going back to Live Twitch Streams after every new drop! I just paid for a 3 month subscription to Ren's Twitch channel.
I have A Celtic Knot tattoo similar to Ren's but mine is on the back of my neck and my best friend got one the same day as me so we had matching tattoos! Ours are over 20 years old tho. 😂😂😂
I really like the fact that your are a positive and genuine person all the way around. There needs to be more people like you in the world. It's only when "I" becomes "WE" that we can meaningfully define humanity. I wholeheartedly believe this, and really hope that people around the world can gravitate towards this mindset. I enjoy your artistry and you as a person. Keep being your authentic self!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you! I was able to watch most of this, but it’s still so nice for those who were too busy. Plus, I like going back and watching the streams too ❤
:) thank you for your existence .your voice matters !! i love your work !! keep doing you~~
Thank you, Ren! Wishing you the best as always, and hope you're having a good day.
Love you Ren...u are a proper human😊❤
Love your humour
The legal system is maintained as a labyrinthine trap for vulnerable people, by those who benefit most from it
I couldn't have said it better myself
Ren just ended up going mad like Obelix in the 12 works dealing with the legal situation and frustrating non advancing situation. 😅
Did i hear sirens at 25 mins. Was that the ambulance picking up the corpse. Haha.
Keep up the good work, Ren, and I can't wait for the new album
You're a funny bastard!😁👏 nearly choked on my breakfast!
I’m obsessed with the song and it has helped me to realized I should write about finally ending my relationship with my toxic father. Thank you for showing me a healthy way to heal 💕
Your superpower is the love in your heart,brother!!!!!🙏🥰🫶💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Love your safe house. Tat looks great. You look after yourself. 🎉🎉
It may have been an angry video Ren...but it was brilliant! Kudos for how you have handled all this rubbish matey. Much respect to you. 😊
I love listening when you speak, sing, rap, etc... I love how you interact with people. You are a genuine, intelligent young man. (I am a much older women that never thought she would be listening to rap in any way, shape or form, you changed my mind ) You shed LIGHT on the dark parts of society and life in such a poetic and intelligent way. The parts of society and life many people don't or won't talk about but need and should talk about. You paint such a vivid picture with your words and videos and I love that. There are many people hearing you and spreading your words and stories. Your personal journey brings up so many emotions but gives people hope and also educates people. I work in a high school with students that struggle and your videos help me understand more of what these kids might be going through. My role is in an academic manner, working with their teachers and case managers in order to help them through their classes, but academics is sometimes tertiary to making sure they feel safe in every way. Okay, now my Mama Bear is going to come out a bit (I have a son around your age). Please, take care of yourself. I know your personal struggle is not over. Sending positive and healing thoughts. Hugs
I loved hearing that Ren likes NF. I love both of these artists and hope for a collab some day.
It is good to see you back on Twitch Ren thank you for reposting this on TH-cam I was watching it and my internet went down so I now I get to finish watching it ,,, so happy to see doing so well ... you are looking so much healthier loving the new songs so far many blessings
Bless you man so humble!
Freaking amazing!!! I'm 61 dealt with mental part, runs in my family passed down to kids ... that song got my attention all-out songs have kept my attention. Proud of how you!!!How you handled this situation!!!! Keep it up Ren! I also have a daughter struggling with bipolar living on the streets.37 sick since college 19.
So sorry you've been put through this, and while I wouldn't wish a repeat, I have to admit it was a bit refreshing to see you let go. Quite human. It's enjoyable to see a version of the internal fantasy we've all had after someone did us dirty. Very relatable. So, thank you.
Also, I'm really glad the GF was included. I've seen a number of male react uncomfortably - the whole women/children off-limits attitude. I get that, but as a woman who reads a lot of urban fantasy, I particularly enjoy a FMC who can kick ass. And if you can kick, you need to be able to take a lick, too. It's actually a little irritating that these well-intentioned reactors are basically saying women are weaker and need to be treated delicately. This is art/fantasy; F that. Everyone needs to be called out. That's equal. Thats fair. So, again, thank you.
P.S. Thank you for mentioning literature. Maybe it'll trend. LOL.
P.P.S. Love the inclusion of the live choir (as opposed to the unlicensed sample). Hilarious... and their deaths at "LEGALLY" 😅
RE: appropriation, have you seen Vik Muniz' work? His Memory Rendering series takes the discussion into interesting territory. You might like it.
✌️
Oh Ren. Where have you been? Where have I been? I’m so glad I got to experience your art. I am astonished with the depth and pure artistry. Love from the US
Spot on ,why can't humans accept different views ,and be best friends
We can..and we do...the problem comes when one of the parties doesnt want the "friend" part..
Wow. Russell!!! How Awsome! Your an An AWESOME musician in every way plus your honesty is very grounding!
Yay you uploaded it!!
