Honorary Steve here. Message in a Bottle was a UK Number 1 for The Police AKA Sting (Alan Partridge reference). Filmed at a Bar in Brighton. Who else could put everything together in 10 days, Rens a genius. Seems like Thundy was high on the breakdown. Def🔥🔥🔥
This was released 2 weeks before the Nas retake with nothing in between, hence the Nas shoutout with an awkward pause. Also there is a behind the scenes for it. It went from a random idea in his head to what you watched in 10 days!
So people are loving it and think this is good and then the two ladies start and everybody, everybody just has a jaw drop moment and then they realize it is going to be epic - and then he raps ❤😂 - also the bass player is the guy who played Kujo
Back on 74 was originally written & performed by the British band Jungle. So Ren wasn't responsible for the lyrics repeating. 😂 I just really enjoy your reactions & you all crack me up! Thanks for that!
@CyberSkullMedia Facts! But, if he does do something, it's always intentional and has meaning. Someone needs to come up with a handy dandy book of Ren's Rites, Rules, & Rituals. Then we could provide it to any Ren noobies so all of the sweet Renegades won't get carpal tunnel. ⌨️
Listen, if someone donates the funds for tracksuits, we will wear them lol we just spent all our funds on new equipment to hopefully improve the quality a bit more!
If you are looking for non music Ren material, I suggest the interview with Justin Hawkins. It is long, but you learn alot about how Ren learned and creates music, among other things. A really interesting/fun watch.
Cyber Skull, I love you guys man. Thundarius, I finally got my cannabis oil script, here in the UK. Mate....what a difference to the morphine patches. 👌🏻🔥 Thank God for Curaleaf UK 🙏🏻
HELL YES! Congrats!!! That is SO GOOD to hear you can get off that stuff! No lie, every neurologist I worked with during my cancer saga, every single one was supportive of cannabis use for what I had, they just couldn't officially recommend it given laws and stigma.
SOOOO Thundy may have heard that on Kito's stream and is trying to give it some time before we cover it so it's brand new again... not that he remembers a whole lot from the NYE stream anyway lol
Another great reaction guys. It’s good to be alive to witness an amazing artist like Ren. He is a Master of his craft and there’s nobody out there doing anything close. Thank you.
Check put Jungle's original of "Back on 74", deserves a listen. There video looks like a one take of amazing dancers and 74 is a street in their original song, but Ren made it into the year 1974. And The Police's original video of a live "Message in a Bottle" from 1979 always deserves a view❤ Sad that no one noticed Ren slipped in the "Message in a Bottle" riffs on the second part of "Back on 74".😊
Yep - the fact that the extremely unusual & iconic chord progression of MiaB works underneath the Jungle song, without clashing anywhere, is what caught Ren's ear & got him fascinated with the idea of the mashup. From a composition standpoint, the Police song leans heavily into using 9ths/2nds in that riff, which is what creates the "weirdness" of it (it's not an interval that is leaned into over & over in a musical phrase in the tradition of western music). Jungle uses a chord progression where the 9ths/2nds "fit" without clashing, but as they put everything together they didn't lean into them because they were going for a smooth dancey vibe. If Ren didn't "hear" that immediately as he initially became interested in 74, as a Sting/Police fan he would have picked it out immediately the second he started playing around with it on guitar. Love the BTS video they did for this one - I don't *think* the moment his brain made the connection was caught on video, but we certainly get to see some of the early process of how he worked it out.
So one of the first premieres, there were like 5 Steves that showed up, and the Council of Steves was born! Now we have several Steves who frequent our videos and posts lol they even have an emoji!
@CyberSkullMedia and my *vault of incredibly niche and unnecessary knowledge* grows yet again. You have no idea what levels of utterly ineffective chaos you are helping me unleash. Love you guys 💙
OMG!!!! I can't believe you mentioned the Muppets on this song! Kia sitting there playing the bass reminds me of Floyd Pepper. lol Thundy, it's so cool you got Ren merch!!! I was in the chat on Kito's NYE stream, cool seeing you there! I'm looking forward to everything you have coming up.
Don't know what was higher, Ren's falsetto or Thundy at Kito's house. 😂 (Loved the stream, thank you all for making NYE fun. The guys in the chat and on screen.)
Yes!!! Can't wait for Illest of Our Time. Yay!!! Looking forward to seeing you and Kito together. Sweet. Also, I'm so glad you liked this one, buttery voices with guitar funk. It's one of my favorites. Keep at it: the numbers will grow! 😊
Aye glad ya guys finally got to this song! Lighters in for the Fire is a nice touch, keep up the community yall are building. Much love and be easy. See ya all for Illest!
Dancing in my office chair with you 👩💻 (yeah yeah, I'm totally working right now.) Okay cross-channel/reactor podcasts are fun but in person is like worlds colliding or the multiverse 🤣 let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go... Thanks guys ❤🔥 (Ray Vibes as a meme is perfect lol)
Glad you enjoyed this!!! That Ray cutaway is now my all time favorite cutaway I have used! By the way... we are talking to Ray about a collab soon! - Thundy
A Miss Piggy & Ren Collab, fitting. I can see it now.🤣🤣. Loved it guys. New Years Eve was pretty wild, great seeing THUNDY there and Shades and Dillon in the chat. ❤ This was the 2nd of 3 Retakes in row. Each song had a lyric hinting at which song was next. Halftime dropped after this one. 💓
Great reaction boys, always appreciate them, as you certainly do make them fun, whilst appreciating Ren's talent, can't wait for more reactions from you boys, certainly looking foward to illest of our time, all the best Anthony from England UK.
We aren't exactly sure where we will start, and it will definitely take multiple streams to cover just the things we have covered plus all the extra stuff, so it should be fun! We will also allow people to super chat specific requests every stream!
Yeah we knew it was Jungle but didn't say anything and I didn't notice until I was editing... but even then, you NEVER know what Ren is going to do with a track, cover or not!
This is one of my favorites great reaction as always definitely 🔥 when you mentioned doing some of the bts videoes the bts to this video is real good. I also love the movie, tv clips you insert in between they are great. Can’t wait for more from you all ❤❤❤
❤❤❤ Rizz Ren ❤❤❤ So damn good These are covers (part of 2 songs by Jungle & The Police) with Rens arrangement & his added rap in the middle. That's why verses were repeated because Ren didn't write them, LoL. Kitos stream with you was so funny.
You never know with Ren, sometimes he just changes things to change things because he can! Wasn't expecting it! Thank you for the words about the stream with Kito, it was a BLAST!
Hey guys great reaction. Question though??? Have you guys ever react to the video Hope by the Artist NF. It’s a masterpiece from start to finish. HOPE you can make it one of your next reactions. Thanks guys!
So we actually tried to do some NF stuff a couple years back with one of his album drops (That I stayed up all night to listen to and take notes) and we got HAMMERED by Universal Music Group and haven't tried to cover him since!
ooooo we getting hit with a polar vortex tomorrow and getting snow in the south so this is going to be perfect for the little one and i to watch on a snow day. can't wait
@Scoggie haha, I just read my comment again and it sounded weird. But yeah, I thought I'd seen you mention Tennessee in other streams. Stay safe and warm this weekend!! I'm in Northwest TN and it's pretty but I'm not leaving my house!!

Artist extraordinaire 🎉
Very nice!
@@richardhuff1256 Because of course it did! As Uncle Scott (a different reactor) says, "Ren is a cheat code!"
Ren has so many sides to him, Im always amazed at his versatility
Super versatile!
So people are loving it and think this is good and then the two ladies start and everybody, everybody just has a jaw drop moment and then they realize it is going to be epic - and then he raps ❤😂 - also the bass player is the guy who played Kujo
SO EPIC! Thanks for the lore!

REN - "What you Want" gotta be next! Get some matching tracksuits for this one! 😆
Yes! ❤💪
Listen, if someone donates the funds for tracksuits, we will wear them lol we just spent all our funds on new equipment to hopefully improve the quality a bit more!
Thanks guys amazing reaction… appreciate it 🔥🔥🔥
THANK YOU BEL!
Stunner! I love this one
Yes!
If you are looking for non music Ren material, I suggest the interview with Justin Hawkins. It is long, but you learn alot about how Ren learned and creates music, among other things. A really interesting/fun watch.
Very nice!!!
I'm saving that for a rainy day. Thanks for the reminder 😊👍
I feel this year is your guys year, I’ll be here for
It 🙏❤️
We sure hope so!
This beautiful vibe was 10 days from concept to completion. There is a video showing the process on Ren makes stuff behind the scenes.
That's awesome! Can't wait to cover it!
Cyber Skull, I love you guys man. Thundarius, I finally got my cannabis oil script, here in the UK.
Mate....what a difference to the morphine patches. 👌🏻🔥
Thank God for Curaleaf UK 🙏🏻
HELL YES! Congrats!!! That is SO GOOD to hear you can get off that stuff! No lie, every neurologist I worked with during my cancer saga, every single one was supportive of cannabis use for what I had, they just couldn't officially recommend it given laws and stigma.
Tina Turner was open about being bi-sexual. Adds a little extra to the rap line “I turn Tina” 😂
🤣🤣🤣
LOL Thundy, love that shirt. I now want to get a SICKBOI hoodie and have that printed on the front. Maybe I'll get two, and send one to Ren.....
I LOVE this shirt! It's so comfy!
I really enjoyed this in the spirit of jazz. Keep it going, guys.
Ocean/Humble ft Eden Nash double feature soon. Please 🙏
SOOOO Thundy may have heard that on Kito's stream and is trying to give it some time before we cover it so it's brand new again... not that he remembers a whole lot from the NYE stream anyway lol
No worries. Thanks for the response
Another great reaction guys. It’s good to be alive to witness an amazing artist like Ren. He is a Master of his craft and there’s nobody out there doing anything close. Thank you.
He absolutely IS a master!
Top reaction as always as soon as Milky Joe got a mention I want to watch that episode again 😂😂😂😂
Old Milky Joe!
@ and watch those long golden locks don’t get trimmed the Midnight Barber he might be in your area

Absolutely!
"Council of Steves" will never not be funny. I barely know the origin story and yet... Just the phrase itself cracks me up.
So one of the first premieres, there were like 5 Steves that showed up, and the Council of Steves was born! Now we have several Steves who frequent our videos and posts lol they even have an emoji!
@CyberSkullMedia and my *vault of incredibly niche and unnecessary knowledge* grows yet again. You have no idea what levels of utterly ineffective chaos you are helping me unleash. Love you guys 💙
Ren and the Muppets, yes!!!! 🤩
YES!
OMG!!!! I can't believe you mentioned the Muppets on this song! Kia sitting there playing the bass reminds me of Floyd Pepper. lol
Thundy, it's so cool you got Ren merch!!! I was in the chat on Kito's NYE stream, cool seeing you there!
I'm looking forward to everything you have coming up.
OMG YES! My renegade bestie & I call Kai “Floyd” since he was on this track 🤭🤣🥰
@ when I watched the premiere when I saw the bass player Floyd Pepper was all I can think about. I’m so happy I’m not the only one. 😊
@@RENfan1265 definitely not the only one 👍🏻😊🥰
I think it's settled... we need a Muppet video of Ren, kinda like that Angel episode and everyone is a Muppet!
@@CyberSkullMedia oh hell yes “Smile Time with Ren” 😝🤣
Aww...love this one so much! Thanks guys for given me a lovely time & some laughs on top. Take care...looking forward to the nest one! Much love 💚✌
Thank you so much for being here!
All around perfection‼️
Love the cool lounge vibe and that red tufted sofa is definitely🔥🔥🔥
Absolutely the perfect setting!
RENagade and Skull fan in the house. 1974 was F'in awesome.
THANK YOU!!!!!
The bass guitarist here is Kai, his friend who also played Kujo in Kujo Beat Down :)
Thanks for the lore!
Don't know what was higher, Ren's falsetto or Thundy at Kito's house. 😂

Love the hat, Shades! ❤️
Shades and his hats... That is a Locksmith hat btw!
When I was young the Muppets ruled. Ren would have done it justice.
See, lots of pro muppet comments!
Rockin the Merch like a Boss Thundy 👏👏👏
Loved Shades pre-review mid song 🔥 light up 😂
Fab reaction as always lads ❤
Thank you!!!
Yes!!! Can't wait for Illest of Our Time. Yay!!! Looking forward to seeing you and Kito together. Sweet. Also, I'm so glad you liked this one, buttery voices with guitar funk. It's one of my favorites. Keep at it: the numbers will grow! 😊
Thank you!!! It's been pretty slow since our initial little explosion but we will keep grinding!
Sting is one of Ren's music influences. ✌
He does bodyslam people well lol
These songs are covers, but for the rap part in the middle, which is typical auto Ren. Fun song, fun reaction!
Thank you!
Great job lads, Thanks
Thank YOU!
Enjoyed this one yet again fellas. Thanks!
PETE!!!!!!
Great reaction again! Dillon I may need to send you a hat from western Canada. But not to far west.
I think he'd dig that! We have been talking about getting a P.O. box!
Ooh, I’m definitely down to rep something from the west. I did wear a Canucks beanie on some Christmas content.
Enjoyed watching this with you so much 😊 and the Ren merch looks fantastic! Thanks x
Thank you!!! This is the single most comfy and highest quality shirt I now own!
Loved the vibe, guys!

A wizard is never late... nor is he early... he arrives precisely when he means to!

Nonmusic Ren should definitely start with his Million Subscribers video
We aren't exactly sure where we will start, and it will definitely take multiple streams to cover just the things we have covered plus all the extra stuff, so it should be fun! We will also allow people to super chat specific requests every stream!
Another great reaction thanks.🔥

I think even Statler and Waldorf would like Ren
I would love to watch them try and heckle him lol
Muppets unite!!.. I'm here for it!! 😁
SEE
Woot woot! I love this one, so glad y'all enjoyed it!
LOVED IT!
Great way to start my week end. Thanks guys ❤
THANK YOU!
The original is by jungle i believe which is why you got confused by the repetition of the first bit,
Yeah we knew it was Jungle but didn't say anything and I didn't notice until I was editing... but even then, you NEVER know what Ren is going to do with a track, cover or not!
REN is the goat! Wait until you guys see this!
REN IS GOATED
If you watch Ren and Sam Tompkins busking video ( Earned It/Man’s World/ Falling) you will see more falsetto Ren.
Love falsetto Ren!
as always keep up the good work doing the entertainment
THANK YOU!
You guys crack me up! I loved this❤
Mission Accomplished!
Ren with Muppets made me spit my scotch out through my nose & if you know you know how that burns 🥵
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
RENS MUSIC SUCKS BTW..... is an incredible tshirt Thundarius!!!! Another epic reaction guys, started off 2025 with another banger!
Thank you so much!!!!
I think Ren on Fraggle Rick would be awesome
FRAGGLE ROCK OMGGGG

Sounds like you added Reverb to the playback of the song still great reaction
I don't add anything in post to the song track, it's taken directly from the TH-cam video!
Ren with soul? react to this; The Big Push - Wade in the Water/Nina Simone/ Trouble so Hard - its a busking session and its amazing! Like you guys ❤
that sounds AMAZING! Thank you!
I think it's time for y'all to react to "Makcay"
HMMMMMMM
