Ren has mentioned in interviews that as he was developing his singing voice he realized his tone matched Sting's pretty well and he is hugely influenced by both Sting and the Police. He has also said that the busking session audio from each instrument went into iPhones. He worked meticulously to get the audio capture to what we have here. He said it was a labor of love and is happy that these performances are preserved for others to discover. Thanks for reacting to the Reniverse!
Fire 🔥 I agree with you that Ren is an alien from the planet “musica” - he is a “once in a generation” artist and I’ve never run across anyone like him in my 62 years being a rocker growing up in the 70s!!! 🔥💯❤️👏🙌
What's nuts is immediately after this performance he did War Pigs. (Which is a must listen to) My absolute favorites from him outside of Hi Ren are Ocean, Losing It, and Calk Outlines (live, without Chinchilla)
And then after War Pigs, they did Paint It Black, another epic cover. And in the same show they did their superb original song Watch Out. What I would have given to be there! Better than most 'tier one' concerts I've been to that have cost upwards of £100.
@@davidjames3080 man to be at this specific set would have made my whole life and dare say that if i was able to attend no other artist or band would be able to take this off the best live show seen in person
Reggae is a big part of British culture so it's not to strange seeing someone like Ren sing in that style, some of the best reggae singers of all time was signed to UK labels back in the day. One of the most iconic British reggae songs is Pass the Dutchy by the Musical Youth from Birmingham.
This. I think most US reactors don't understand how deeply reggae and ska is embedded in british music culture. Because of the windrush generation in the 50s. We are one.
My brain is blown away by all Ren is doing. Video Grapher. Raps, sings with range. Writes music. He .makes his own videos. Produces. He is wise beyond his years. He brings struggling artist up to the public .he answers and does interviews with reactors. He is well aware with what made him famos. Yesterday he started a go fund me type of thing for a young smart reactor. He remembers where he is from. His reactor interviews are so open and awesome. I can't believe that he is able to do this while being sick 10 yrs. Mis diagnoses killing his ammune system. Now finally 10 yrs he is being treated for Lyme Disease. I have tried to find flaws in his music and videos. But I can't. He is so very honest and humble. No way to box him to any genre. Look my kids think I too old to be a fan but there's no words. Deep lyrics trying to help us as humans. ❤❤❤❤ HE MUST GET WELL! WE NEED HIM IN THIS WORLD FOREVER.
Well, if you want to continue this busking session...The Big Push War Pigs. It was the very next mashup they played. It's a mashup of War Pigs, Paranoid, Crazy Train, and Rage Against the Machine's Killin in the Name. Awesome vid! Love your reactions. Ren is music is a fitting description!
You should check out The Big Push covering "Wade in the Water - Nina Simone - Trouble So High" Ren plays bass and he freaking plays it like a lead guitar. The man is phenomenal.
The Big Push: Wade In the Water, Sweet Little Lady (not the acoustic version), Englishman in New York. Ren and Sam: Walking on the Moon, It’s a Man’s World. Ren: Crutch, Fire, Ocean.
I agree...Ren is music. Look at all the very different performers he performs with, he delivers something different to each, but he is the glue that makes the performance whole. As he says in "Hi Ren", he is a genius.
😆 you are always so composed lol. Refreshing to see you unable to hold back your smiles! Amazing feeling when we connect with music in this way! Thank you sir, for another great reaction! Now I'm smiling ❤
I haven't seen anyone listen to and watch this video and not smile, especially during Romain's solo. It's such a good vibe and you can see they love and feel their music and that's infectious.
I've seen maybe 10 reactions to this song because I'm obsessed with how good it is.. but I couldn't want for you to drop your reaction man, awesome! Knew you'd be into this one. "Ren is just music, that's what he is"... might be the best quote yet to summarize the man
Bob Marley and Sting and The Police are some of Ren’s favourite artists! He has a well rounded understanding of music all types and is great at all of them! He is the most exciting Artist I have seen since the 70’s hands down!
He’s a working musician. Ren is a voracious music lover who hangs with other great working musicians. Going into the world in front of people is how great performers are created. America has become a studio centric
I remember years ago, Philip Philips on American Idol would move his whole body when singing/playing guitar and I think it was JLo that said it was like the music was like electricity flowing through his body. And watching Ren (especially when playing the guitar at the beginning) you can see his whole body feeling every single note. And it reminds me of that comment. I never forgot it because Philip felt like the music to me rather than the cookie cutter pop stars they usually had on the show.
#Ren #TheBigPush I so hope they have a reunion! I see a few bands/artists this year but Ren/The big push would be top of the list if that was possiblity!! 🔥❣️
Black Pegasus did an interview with Ren, he talked about his musical influences and mentioned Sting and how reggae was big in the UK when he was growing up. It’s a great watch.
Loved your reaction! You have such great knowledge and perspective on everything you watch. This might be the most fun I think I've seen you have in a reaction. Awesome 😊
There is a charismatic aura about Ren and the Big Push and they are oozing with talent! They put their everything into their performances and it comes through! I'm so grateful for the void they fill in the music industry❤
Ren is a Genius in all Genres. He Can't be Reconed with for Sure. I like to see within that Skull lol IQ Please😂 love All of Ren Music 24/7 Please. Great Reaction
I´m absolutely hooked on The Big Push, they are amazing musicians. Another street session that´s awesome is The Big Push - Wade in the Water / Nina Simone / Trouble so hard
All of The Big Push covers are great, but a favourite of mine that nobody else seems to have picked up on is their “These boots are made for walking/ Satisfaction/ Everybody needs somebody” mashup filmed in a launderette in Brighton.
There is a genre with Ren, But I think it only show's up once or twice in a lifetime. Ren's artistic performance is what you get when you cross life with anguish and pain, and pure raw musical talent!
You can't go wrong with Ren - every new song I discovered became a new favorite on constant playback Hold On, Ocean, Life is Funny, Humble, Dominoes, Depression, Insomnia, Penitence, Everybody Drops, Diazepam, Fire (early, but awesome rock song) - the list goes on and on - I love love them all! Also, please check out the Big Push originals - Watch Out (live) Dignity, Sweet Little Lady (live acoustic) Precious, All My Heroes - so, so good! He just doesn't disappoint, only uplifts or takes on emotional journey!
Ren is his own box!🤗 You have the smile like you're watching your younger brother doing something awesome! I LOVE THAT!😍 There's not a bad song anywhere that I have found from Ren or The Big Push. They are absolutely mindblowingly awesome. It frustrates me to no end as like you. I blame the algorithms. They should've been WORLDWIDELY known long ago! Anywho... Awesome reaction as always! Peace and love always until there is no more!😊❤

Ren is an actual artist. he isnt just a rapper or just a guitar player or just a singer, or just an actor. he is all of those and more.
I never get tired of people reacting to Ren 🤯
Ren is to music what Stevie Ray Vaughan was to the guitar.
Ren has mentioned in interviews that as he was developing his singing voice he realized his tone matched Sting's pretty well and he is hugely influenced by both Sting and the Police. He has also said that the busking session audio from each instrument went into iPhones. He worked meticulously to get the audio capture to what we have here. He said it was a labor of love and is happy that these performances are preserved for others to discover. Thanks for reacting to the Reniverse!
Yep. The “majesty” and “masterful” musicianship is there. Thanks for a great reaction. 💐
Ren is a blessing from the music Gods, we need him in this world right now. Much love and respect
Many have said it before, Ren is an alien 👾👽🎸
Ren Is music…❤
Fire 🔥 I agree with you that Ren is an alien from the planet “musica” - he is a “once in a generation” artist and I’ve never run across anyone like him in my 62 years being a rocker growing up in the 70s!!! 🔥💯❤️👏🙌
Agreed, and it's so confusing that few know of him.
Same performance, their cover of Black Sabbath’s “War Pigs” Ren’s bandmate Romain Axisa goes off on a little guitar solo. 🔥🔥🔥
What's nuts is immediately after this performance he did War Pigs. (Which is a must listen to)
My absolute favorites from him outside of Hi Ren are Ocean, Losing It, and Calk Outlines (live, without Chinchilla)
And then after War Pigs, they did Paint It Black, another epic cover. And in the same show they did their superb original song Watch Out. What I would have given to be there! Better than most 'tier one' concerts I've been to that have cost upwards of £100.
Facts equally amazing! They killed busking that day

“REN is Music” love this!!!!!! Everything by REN and the Big Push is 🔥great reaction!
Yes, Ren becomes the music. Perfect. Unafraid and unashamed he surrenders to the art of music and performance.
Reggae is a big part of British culture so it's not to strange seeing someone like Ren sing in that style, some of the best reggae singers of all time was signed to UK labels back in the day. One of the most iconic British reggae songs is Pass the Dutchy by the Musical Youth from Birmingham.

isn't there UB40 aswell? Loved them as a kid. Well, stiil enjoy it nowadays :)
@@Tearnofear TRUE!
yeah it was also tied in with the punk movement in the 70s
Yeah, until recently the majority of Black people in Britain were Caribbean.
When the man upstairs passed out Talent, Ren went back for seconds, Thirds and Fourths!!!
I agree😘
REN ALL DAY! I love life more because he exists. His artistic expression is profound.
My brain is blown away by all Ren is doing. Video Grapher. Raps, sings with range. Writes music. He .makes his own videos. Produces. He is wise beyond his years.

British busking at it finest 😍 Well, with an Irishman/Englishman/Frenchman/Welshman !!
You should check out The Big Push covering "Wade in the Water - Nina Simone - Trouble So High"
Ren plays bass and he freaking plays it like a lead guitar. The man is phenomenal.
Totally agree with this recommendation!
The Big Push: Wade In the Water, Sweet Little Lady (not the acoustic version), Englishman in New York.
Ren and Sam: Walking on the Moon, It’s a Man’s World.

Ren is making music great again
I always look forward to you checking out more Ren. He has a new song releasing tomorrow that has a heartbreaking backstory.
I think that's the most I've ever seen you vibe out during a reaction. This dude is pretty special.
Can’t wait 🎉
I have seen Ren and The Big Push perform live many times in Brighton and it is never less than magical.
5:06 "Ren is SO Good!" Yes. Always love watching reactors react to this! Thanks for the Patreon requesting this! 🙂❤

ren and sam tompkins earned it-man's world-falling . Cheers
REN is from the Andromeda Galaxy!!! He brings Music!!
Musically fluid, massively talented.
❤️Ren❤️
Definitely my favourite track of any artist
Bob Marley and Sting and The Police are some of Ren’s favourite artists! He has a well rounded understanding of music all types and is great at all of them! He is the most exciting Artist I have seen since the 70’s hands down!
As An Englishman who lives in th USA …. This right here is British music culture!!!
Always surprising -Never disappointing
Ren is an artist. He is fantastic woth music, impersonation, acting. He's a very unique force of nature and he will not be put into a box I believe.
Ren is just a musicians musicians. And he's self taught. He was born with this talent
He’s a working musician. Ren is a voracious music lover who hangs with other great working musicians. Going into the world in front of people is how great performers are created. America has become a studio centric

It 's actually a Gem session !!! Not easy to understand the majesty of this man , I agree ! Shockingly good. All of them together too .
Black Pegasus did an interview with Ren, he talked about his musical influences and mentioned Sting and how reggae was big in the UK when he was growing up. It’s a great watch.
I think you'd really like the Big Push war pigs cover
Music consumes Ren ❤
Ren is simply unquantifiable.
Reggae has been instilled in uk music culture since the 60s😊
You say “frustration” your face says pure joy. ❤
He is a huge Sting fan, has often spoken about that
I loved the smile on your face during this whole song
Yes Ren is music ❤
I love that you had a smile on your face the whole time. Ren is so talented I’m so many ways
The Big Push also does a cover of "Wade in the Water". It shows more of different vocal ranges in the group. EVERYONE of them is mad talented!
You are fastly becoming my favourite reactor to watch. Can you read me a bedtime story your voice is impeccable. Subscribed
I’ve never seen an artist more free to be whatever he feels like being. What is Ren? Free. And he’s freeing us in the process.
Well, there is always Marc Rebillet. 😂
I love his Jamaican patois (?) sound. Ty for the reaction! 🎶🤘🏼
“…the majesty that is Ren”
Loved your reaction! You have such great knowledge and perspective on everything you watch. This might be the most fun I think I've seen you have in a reaction. Awesome 😊
HUMBLE, OCEAN, LOVE MUSIC 1 2 N 3, WHAT U WANT, FIRE, POWER,
U can pick any, all different, all brilliant
Great reaction I don't think I've ever seen you smile so much through a video. 😊
Outstanding reaction to another mind blowing performance!
There is a charismatic aura about Ren and the Big Push and they are oozing with talent! They put their everything into their performances and it comes through! I'm so grateful for the void they fill in the music industry❤
What an amazing performance! Ren is so special!
He is a RENigma!!!
I love that so much, “Ren is music” . You’ve nailed it.

Daily reactions to anything ren should be top of the list bro. Specially while he’s popping. Should be great for your channel
great mashup....mad talent
Ren is a mythical being like the tales of Orpheus.
I´m absolutely hooked on The Big Push, they are amazing musicians. Another street session that´s awesome is The Big Push - Wade in the Water / Nina Simone / Trouble so hard
Swansong by The Big Push is simply amazing!
He's the RENegade RENigma of the RENaissance!!!
6:00 - Got me right back in my rude boy bag, every time. Oh man.
majestic for sure
*REN is the Swiss Army knife of music the one with the fork and the spoon.*
Ren IS music .... love it!
Since a few months ago, all I listen to is Ren and his group of friends. So amazing. Once every generation or so we are blessed like this.
Sweet Little Lady (Live Acoustic) - The Big Push 👍
Warpigs next plz
It came right after this one 😉🔥🔥🔥
REN IS MUSIC!
Ren is music 🔥🙏🔥
All of The Big Push covers are great, but a favourite of mine that nobody else seems to have picked up on is their “These boots are made for walking/ Satisfaction/ Everybody needs somebody” mashup filmed in a launderette in Brighton.
My favorite
So glad you discovered this jamming piece.
Ren IS music 100% - The Big Push are brilliant, they have such a lot of fun and are so talented! Thanks for checking this out - it is brilliant.....
There is a genre with Ren, But I think it only show's up once or twice in a lifetime. Ren's artistic performance is what you get when you cross life with anguish and pain, and pure raw musical talent!
thank you for reacting and supporting my favourite artist and band ❤❤❤
Ren and the whole band are Incredible!
Thank you for your great reaction!!❤
Another great reaction! “Sexual Healing” with Ren and Chinchilla is phenomenal!
I heard him say he is pretty much inspired by everything.
💯They say humans are 99% energy. Pretty sure Ren is 99% music. …artistry really.
You can't go wrong with Ren - every new song I discovered became a new favorite on constant playback Hold On, Ocean, Life is Funny, Humble, Dominoes, Depression, Insomnia, Penitence, Everybody Drops, Diazepam, Fire (early, but awesome rock song) - the list goes on and on - I love love them all!

Comment as well as additional recommondation: "I'm loosing it"...😉
The expression on your face was the same as on all these young faces in the crowd. A wave of love. Well deserved.
He is "bard core" ❤
Ren is his own box!🤗
You have the smile like you're watching your younger brother doing something awesome!
I LOVE THAT!😍
There's not a bad song anywhere that I have found from Ren or The Big Push.
They are absolutely mindblowingly awesome.
It frustrates me to no end as like you.
I blame the algorithms.
They should've been WORLDWIDELY known long ago!
Anywho...
Awesome reaction as always!
Peace and love always until there is no more!😊❤
Mannnn,,,I really enjoyed your reaction to this one~!! Big smiles~!!
War pigs medley, please. The big push went straight into that in this performance, absolutely amazing as always
That was pure joy.
Yayyyy so happy you’re diving into Ren. He’s the real deal, a true inspiration in this f’d up world. ❤❤
