    Romain Axisa is playing the guitar (his bandmate from The Big Push and also his housemate in Brighton). Amazing lead guitarist, check his solos on Big Push songs (I recommend you watch Wade in the Water cover they did 4-5 years ago, brilliant). Has solo stuff singing and playing too.

      This Wade in the Water cover is actually what got me into discovering Ren, Romain and The Big Push a few years ago. It was such an amazing performance that had me instantly hooked to the talents of the group and it's individuals! Never have I ever been so grateful to randomly stumble upon a song in a playlist I was (up to that point) distractively listening to while working, and what an adventure it's been since!

      Thanks for asking about Romain. He and Ren have been playing together for several years in The Big Push. It may not be the most intricate guitar solo to play, but imagine playing blind with someone doing things around you're head & face that you can't see. Ren spoke in one of his Twitch episodes about how Romain was practicing this blind.

    I think the visual symbolism is Ren trying to forcibly open the eyes of the "player's" only to acknowledge they still can't see. Finishes with self destruction rather than destroying the player. Highlights how we are incapable of revolution against the malignant institutions that be, we always choose self destruction to protect the money game.

      Money Game 2 made it on the radio and was previously considered his biggest song to date. It probably didn't hurt that it was also turned into the Luigi Meme and got an even broader audience. A lot of people that see Hi Ren first, won't even understand the She Sells Sea Shells part unless they've seen Money Game 2 first.

  • @CallyWasHereOfficial

    I think the guitar guy is the “money game” and him drawing eyes on it is like “can you see it now? can you see what im saying?” but when he goes to finally kill it , he realises, “wait, i’ve always been part of the money game”, and so its himself that he pours the gasoline on. idk that’s my thought on it.

    He used the guitar like that as the gun in Screech's Tale too. Also, how he integrated the deep breaths in and out in Sick Boi. I love how he integrates items into what he's doing as well. In some ways it reminds me of Musical Theater with acting ability as well as the musical talents. The way that I interpreted the ending in my own mind. He gave the 'nameless' guitarist eyes so he could see the hypocrisy in the music business, then realized at the last moment that he was just as guilty. Thanks for covering more of Ren's music. I hope you are enjoying the journey!

    Ren spent over a decade living with buskers and performing on the streets while trying to get several bands started so he's pretty much perfected live one-take performances. Trick the Fox is a pop band he was trying to get started a decade ago. Then he did a lot of solo stuff before trying to get The Big Push going with friends - which he's still a member of. But he's made so much stuff, from so many different genres because he's been trying to make up for all the time he missed while being bedridden & sick.

    • @colin7879

      If the big push is still going its about to get *really* going.
      I keep thinking how much of a noodle twister it's going to be for chinchilla and Sam Tomkins to suddenly be properly famous considering those now famous songs are a few years old. They probably have normal jobs now and got into work one day and someone in the office casually mentions they saw them.
      Now imagine in like a year when ren yas released the rest of this album and likely done an Adele level Grammy awards show performance of hi ren or whatever else comes out while he is in Canada.
      And let's be honest, rens gonna be in a movie within 3 years. His music is good? His acting and presence is immense.
      Personally I see him doing that thing, it's got an acronym. Where you win one of all of them, like a Tony, an Oscar, a Grammy etc.
      This mfer walked through hell and came out... different. If Harry mack is the Michaelangelo of rap then ren is the davinci. Creativity *and the ability to apply it* across a multitude of spectrums. A true artistic polymath.
      I've been lucky enough to see Ronaldo and messi, tiger Woods, Usain bolt, michael phelps, Harry mack, and ren in the last 20 years.
      This is a golden era folks. Be grateful.

    Hi Ren introduced me and it’s very important to understanding his music, but he is not his illness and this song is a great example of that.

He’s just genius straight up.

    Another great reaction. I believe that the guy playing the guitar is Ren's former bandmate from "The Big Push," Romain Axisa. He is an exceptional guitar player and plays various other instruments. Ren and Romain recorded another song together called “French Song.” I love Ren's singing voice, no matter what genre it is.
    Ren’s collaborations with Chinchilla (“Chalk Outlines,” “How to Be Me”) are beautiful and showcase his singing voice while addressing mental health. "Chalk Outlines" is one of my favorite songs right now. Ren's personal reflections are threaded through many of his songs; "Insomnia," "Depression," “Diazepam," “Penitence,” “Dear God,” “Heretic,” “Dominos,” his "Freckled Angels" album, just to name a few, all deserve a listen.
    His performances with Sam Tompkins (“Blind Eyed,” “Earned it /Mans World / Falling,” “Walking on the Moon), Eden Nash (“Humble,” “Ocean”), Bibi (“Crutch,” “Ahiahiaoha”), Molly McKinna (“Penitence”), are all great. Ren's performances as a member of the band "The Big Push" (which unfortunately broke up) are awesome and well worth checking out, both the busking (street performances) and their live recordings. Ren's covers of "I Shot the Sheriff," "Oh My Woman," "Wade in the Water," "An Englishman in New York," "War Pig," Guns of Brixton," and so many others are equally impressive and really give you a sample of his vocal ability.

They play in the big push busking band and all three are so talented and beautiful people and are bringing so much happiness to a world that has been sad so long. I believe they recently have disbanded but I believe it is because they all now will do great as solo. I think at some point they will all reunite because of their friendship but this is only my opinion as to what I have observed.

    Ren is Ren....as in, what he himself represents ie lateral thinking, change in the tide of society. He's able to highlight the 'system' from within it, but take an existential approach to communicate it so everyone can appreciate it. The guy playing the guitar is our current complacent society, our politicians, our, for want of a better word 'leaders' playing the melody were all just supposed to dance along to and Ren (like others confronting the norm) is trying to force them to see by drawing eyes. But theyre still blind and will not take off the blindfold despite his hands being free (being willfully ignorant), so Ren will burn down the ones pushing agenda, even if he has to go with it..

    Everyone is part of the money game.
    He's opening your eyes to what's happening!. Which got more agitated
    Are you going to look and learn or the ultimate sacrifice?
    Not you, but him

    I saw the Whiskey Myers reactions you did and I always like when they get shown some love. Super underrated band in my opinion. They have so many good songs besides Stone and Broken Window Serenade though. For The Kids, Heart of Stone, Trailer We Call Home, Dogwood, Bad Weather just to name a few. Really enjoy the content, new sub

    I think in this video Ren represents the World (Earth)... and the guitar player is us, humans destroying it with our money game.
    It's warning us and tries to open our eyes, but at the end... woosh !

    Q: Who do the characters symbolize?
    A: Ren is us, the hooded guitar player is the people we hurt for money, Ren's self immolation at the end is our sense of what it would mean for us to stop participating in the money game.

    If you want to know, symbolism in the meaning, behind video and song, I can only with me to another reactor Nail with that really mind blowing! You should go watch it before you watch money game 2… his name is Shadow Aeternum! He’s a really deep thinker and encourage you to go watch his explanation and breakdown of this entire Artistic performance and the metaphorical meanings ! Enjoyed you guys together here and your Buddy was onto this in the few insights he was thinking!! ❤

    At the guys making the video:
    Ren is wearing Abu grahib (sp?) Gear from the famous pictures from Iraq.
    And at the end he draws a smiley face I think. Maybe not though, unsure.
    Anyway, the reason he stops from pouring the petrol on the dude in the chair is because he realises he is the bad guy and turns it on himself.
    He is America and Britain and colonialism and all that shit.
    The guitar guy is the prisoner, the slave, the conquered, the exploited.
    At least that's what I think but he is definitely wearing the iraqi war crimes pictures outfit.

    It seems to be more about how the “money game” (politics, consumerism, etc) is so destructive, but even if we are held hostage by it, there are things that we can do to rise above like music. Also, the dichotomy that even though we are hostages of the “money game” we are also playing our part in perpetuating it. If we want to blame someone, the first source we need to look at is ourselves and how we are feeding the machine. Once we recognize that we can “burn the system down” by changing our actions and how we interact with it.
