The video is about being seen as a villain and never pushing back, but then you get to a breaking point and become the monster everyone portraited you to be. Ronnie also has an affinity for video games, star wars, cyber punk, and horror. The nuns are literally portraited from the movie called The Nun, about a demonic monster that resembles a nun. The video also references Call of Duty, Bane from DC Comics, Metal Gear Solid, Cyberpunk 2077, The Exorcist, Brightburn/Evil Superman, and the Pheonix from Marvel Comics in that order. I'm still unsure what the scene with him and the demon typing references but I know it's from something because it looks familiar. The point is, the entire song is about being pushed to the breaking point when you did nothing wrong, being hated just for being who you are, eventually you'll become the villain everyone portraits you to be.
I like how the very beginning ties into the end. Before he jumps out of the plane he references a weapon. Everyone on first watch thinks he’s going to drop a bomb, but he’s the bomb. And it’s a ticking time bomb that has been pushed too far. So he effectively became what he was portrayed as, likely by the church.
@@ddbangtannim2270 I also think him saying “I’m going darth, I’m going Disney, into the darkness, into infinity” that he’s making two references, Buzz Lightyear and Infinity Wars. He effectively became Thanos and destroyed the world
Ronnie said in an interview imagine a superhero coming to save the world, and the people not showing appreciation, so he just sits back and “watches the world burn”. The song is basically a blast on the mainstream media pumping out constant lies during 2020. Hence “break the fkn chains, take back your lives”
He’s also in a hospital gown talking to his demons who he is conversing with until the get on the same page, at which point he is sent back to reality, becomes possessed in the church and burns the world down. His Demons caught a ride, because of peoples sensitivities, people attacking his past, people likely labeling him as a Satan worshipper in churches, etc. So it’s “if this is what you call me, so it will be”.
Are you saying Ronnie is Red Pilled and that the snakes are the Don’t Tread on Me flag? 2020 was fucked. Between the medias lies, the government working with social media to label, distort, and block information flow, the shutdowns, and everything. People lost all control and still haven’t gained that shit back.
@@EricsaidfulThank you for this! I’ve seen this video countless times but was always kinda confused how that scene with the demon and typewriter played into the story. Your explanation makes a lot of sense. (^~^) 💕🦋
@@NamiMakimono Apparently he also “sold his soul to the devil” as a sort of joke when he was younger. Said he wrote the contract, signed it in blood and everything but he wasn’t being for real.

So the scene may have something to do with him trying to either get out of that contract at which point he is told no, sent back, and is the demon.
As far as the religion thing goes, I don't think Ronnie was attacking Christianity specifically. The song is more or less about how social media and the media in general can paint a narrative about someone and have people brainwashed enough to believe anything. Towards the end it's made pretty apparent by all the people seemingly getting their soul drained through their phones. This song is Ronnie's response to that kind of monolithic thinking. It's basically him saying fu*k what people say about you. The only one that controls your narrative at the end of the day is you. "Break the fu*king chains, take back your life!"
What is every artist just obsessed with Christianity? Like look the beginning was great but why do you have to bring people's believe into this just because he know Christians won't try to kill him or sue him like let him try this with muslims and everyone would agree he is Islamophobic but when i comes to christianity its ok to do whatever you want
@@andriontech but then media is so biased towards the Muslims to get their votes from what I have observed in European countries. The same applies for America though but because they have their own amendments is not that apparent.

@victoriajones8782 I NEED TO FUCKING HEAR THIS LIVE. I have been listening to them since I was 12 years old and I'm turning 23 next month and this is by far the best song I've ever heard by them or anyone else. I could only listen to this for the rest of my life and I would be fine.

The scene with the red banners in the background is a clear reference to "The Force Awakens". In the lyrics he even says "About to go Darth, about to go Disney". They're using this reference to tell the plot about people portraying him as the villain that he actually ain't. But since everyone is portraying him as villain anyway, he's simply going for it and now going Darkside to teach everyone a lesson
Literally Eminem, bones thugs and harmony, queen, and original falling in reverse stuff all in one. One of the most amazing musical pieces of all time!
Being mostly an old-school classic hard rock and metal fan, I have to give credit where it is due. This guy Ronnie Radke is truly an epic artist in multiple ways, there's no denying it!
I can see how some people might be offended by the visuals, but im pretty sure the message of the song is about continuing to push people past there breaking point, and they become the monster they were being portrayed to be. And the symblizism is the priest trying to do a exorcism on said monster.
Hence the "One day you're going to figure out that everything you've been taught was a lie" Ronnie does very well at injecting passion that he dislikes with the current state of the world as well as with himself and whats happening in his life!
If they are offended they should look away or play a game of hide and go @#$% themselves. I'm not sorry for this post because I'm not a sensitive little @#$%&.
The thing about Falling in Reverse, and Ronnie Radkie (the creative force of the band) is that all the music they’ve been doing for the past couple years has been really relevant and relatable…mental illness, addiction, cancel culture, etc. also, the songs have been awesome and the videos epic. I think you’d really enjoy digging deeper into their catalog.
Hey guys! Love the channel! I am absolutely amazed that this is the first FiR video you tackled! The vocalist is Ronnie Radke. He’s not the way people make him out to be, and nothing he’s saying is truly controversial. Just his methods. And he doesn’t conform which clearly he’s not afraid to make know. He just sees everything as it truly is, which means he also sees through people’s bullshit. It’s a rare gift some of us have on a Soul level. As for the video. If you go back to the ending- without thinking about the fact that he’s burning a bunch of people- and just listen to what he’s saying: “Fear is what keeps you alive, break the fucking chains, take back your life” and “The fear is what keeps you insane, break the fucking chains, bring back the pain” The way I took this is that because he went all villain bc of people’s bullshit, they refuse to hear the message the song offers as a whole. They pick apart his lyrics and make things sound bad out of context just because the don’t like him. What he was saying in the end is that we’re all numb, living life in a haze, listening to everyone else and not ourselves, doing what everyone else wants you to do, being who others want you to be. And that we buy into the mass fear our society creates to distract us from what’s REALLY going on in the world, which causes people to be unstable. His method is using topics that will trigger people so that they will actually think about things, and maybe open their eyes. And to prove his point. As for those who just keep hating? Psh, just some more views for them.
The snakes were likely a reference to 'lurking predators' in the industry. The 'snake' is often referenced as a duplicitous backstabber that will kill you from cover. An ambush predator if you will. Or it could be a reference to the Ouroboros, a serpent devouring itself only to end up rebirthing itself. The concept of 'eternity' if you will. As for the Christianity question, I actually feel like this a slight of hand on Ronnie's part. If you recall earlier in the song, he referenced that today people are 'more sensitive' and a lot of this has to do with todays political climate. There's a mob of very outspoken hyper politically correct people online and a ton of politicians pushing 'lies' these days and people have quite literally replaced religion in their lives with it.
Theres a GI Joe movie out called snake eyes. They put people in a deep hole for judgment. In the hole come two snakes. They slither in a circle. While the main family and others spectate. If the snakes deem you unworthy, they attack you and eat you.
It sells more because it’s the ultimate battle. In every archetypical story it’s a battle between good and evil… every Disney movie, Star Wars like you mentioned… I dunno, life is constantly a battle between wholesome and unwholesome decisions.. so we gravitate to any story depicting that ultimate battle. Because we are all fighting it.
@@flargan6534 1) I'm an elder pastor of a church for decades. That works both ways. Your "lol" speaks volumes of the truth of the matter which is total narcissism
FINALLY…. After a year of commenting. They finally react to Falling in Reverse. It’s not the trilogy but it’s still great. Wow I feel like a weight lifted off my shoulders
The most obvious but extremely missed thing about this song is the message behind the lyrics. You can tell who pays attention to what he says vs those that pay attention to the visuals.
the lyrics are so deep. my girlfriend hast a mental breakdown and is kinda depressive. and that is fitting in so many ways. that song is giving me goosebumps
Rock, punk rock, metal, etc is VERYYY metaphorical. Lyrically and visually. Usually what they say or portray has a deeper underlying meaning so most of the time you can’t take it as face value and really have to dig deep to figure out what they are saying or meaning.
Falling In Reverse is one of my favorite bands so I'm super happy you guys are reacting. I'm sure hoping y'all are going to do more from them because they are absolutely amazing. I would give recommendations but the comment would be way too long lol
This is nothing new for FiR and Ronnie. Popular Monster was (and still is) absolutely huge and it came out like 4-5 years ago. And Ronnie has done rap for years (he even has a solo rap release) but this is the hardest hip hop song I’ve heard from them to this point.
@davidrivera5180 Ronnie was originally a Metal/ Rock lead singer for Escape the Fate. Some things happened, and he split from the group. Creating his own band, Falling in Reverse in the early 2000s.
@@dannyn6558 yep. Went to jail, they replaced him, there was beef between them. Mentions them in Raised By Wolves, and yeeeeeaaars later, they are friends again.
Ey, saludos desde Canarias. He entendido la mitad del video pero me ha encantado vuestra reacción y vuestro buen rollo. Esta canción se ha convertido automáticamente en un clásico de la década de los 20. Gracias por vuestro vídeo. Like!!
You gotta remember that in the beginning of his song he says he battles with depression which ties into the whole demonic stuff all the time. It's not demonic just for the sake of being demonic. Even if it was, rock is rock.
It’s trying to say Christ is a lie as if atheism and paganism aren’t lies. I’m a Christian so people who don’t believe in a creator or the ones who worship demons are brainwashed and dumb in my opinion.
@johnnyappleseed5590 Or maybe, people can believe in whatever they want. Christianity isn't even close to being the oldest religion. Let's not even get into how many times the Bible was rewritten over the centuries a plethora of times.
@@amandalam693 Ronnie was standing in front of 2 pentagrams lol. are you trying to say the crown of thorns tattoo he just got isn’t supposed to spit in the face of Christianity? Or does he think he’s the new Jesus lol. Idk I enjoy his music but he’s diving into the occult or possibly has been for awhile
Song of the century. hits all highs ,lows vocals genres, ,production is perfected, delivers the message and ends leaving you absolutely astonished and wanting more. A balanced of dark light and truth and the world is ready for this shit. Thread lightly.
What’s up guys, this video has a lot of symbolism in it. The point is now days everyone lives in fear the media the world shits on everything and keeps us in a constant panic. Well a lot of folks suffer from their own personal demons. This video touches on the beef that a 1980s rocker had with him. Also a few other beers that he had with other artist who ran their mouth. Ronnie has done an amazing job showing his art. This video gives me vibes of Star Wars doomsday the boys all kinds of cinematic influences are on display here. Either way the whole angel vs demons things are to grab your attention. Even the church of satan is just a sarcastic rendition of Christianity. Art is subjective and meant to make everyone feels something different. Shocking images help people convey emotional connections. So do t read too much into it
... Describing the church of satan as a "sarcastic rendition of Christianity" kind of misses the point entirely. Also, contrary to nonsense, there are actual Satanists out there who really believe in and worship Satan. They're not terribly common, but they do exist.
Ronnie the lead singer is insane talented he is the best at mixing rap and heavy metal together his transmissions between rapping clean singing and screaming is insane and so well done
Your faces when it goes heavy was awesome!! 😂. So the idea of the song is he tries to be good and wants to be positive but people keep getting at him and he’s about to explode
Falling in reverse is one of the best in my opinion, I loved seeing them at warped tour! It’d be AWESOME to see you react to some live performances from warped tour, so raw, always kept the crowds attention and kept everyone involved. Ronnie is amazing and so versatile between his singing, screaming, and rapping! Two old songs I still listen to frequently is “Game Over” and “Bad Girls Club”. The drug in me is you, popular monster, fashionably late, pick up the phone, raised by wolves, and it’s over when it’s over
RR is definitely an artist unto himself. I think his references to demons is the connection to Catholicism and Exorcism as a way of discussing Established religion. Which is to say religion as a social construct to inundate and indoctrinate rather than teach, love, and encourage. His dad actually started a Bikers for Jesus church so he has a bit of background in Christianity.
I heard Ronnie explaining the song on Octane this morning. Basically, he was a superhero coming to help, then was not appreciated, so he destroyed it instead. 😳😳😳
First time on this channel . Seen so many reactions but the guy on the right left laughing so hard his reaction 😂😂😂 his jaw drop when it switched to metal I loved it
This was like rap, rock, metal, opera so many genres combined & mixed beats & flow switches, varied cadences & double time triple time flows, intense lyrics, great overall sound etc. This guy & group are next level. I will admit as a former lifelong Catholic now born again Christian; despite all the props I just gave & totally admit is there talent & skill wise ....I was a little bit disturbed by 90% of the imagery in the video 🙏 The best song I've EVER heard by them & speaking str8 facts I feel their #1 song was 2020 Popular Monster. I would LOVE to see you fellas react to it next 🙏💯🤙😁 great reaction as always much Love 💖
Honest, as a Christian, this song & videos are still one of my favs. Ronnie follows his own truth. His band is on a spiritual journey that borders on being believers. I’ve been plenty mad at God & his songs have honestly helped me process that over the past decade.
Can y'all please do more Falling in Reverse?!? They are absolutely INCREDIBLE and I just love watching y'alls reactions, period! Popular Monster and the Drug in Me is You (you have to do the original and the reimagined version in one reaction 🙏) are both great places to start! Thank you so much for doing this one! God bless y'all! ❤️
You’re spot on about how Christianity is the only religion the modern media allows you to criticize, shit on, attempt to destroy. Yeah, the visuals are pretty shocking. But “brave” would be seeing someone in the music industry attempt to do this to literally any other religion.
Great reaction. "At no point in this video did I know what was going on." It's a phenomenonal song & the best thing about it is how it combines so many genres, as so much of Ronnie's music does. I have loved seeing people from so many different subcultures react to this.
around 12 minutes yall got the whole vibe of the entire video and song. Everything Ronnie goes through and deals with he is open with. He doesn’t hide his stories. But a lot of people continuously try and label him a monster, a drug abuser, all things negative but he is truly such a positive and uplifting person no matter what anyone else says or thinks. He truly is. So in the end he exposes that this world is flawed beyond repair and no matter what he does he will always be the villain to the world. He’s telling everyone to break the chains and take back their life, but they’re running away from his as if he is actually a devil trying to kill them. Notice how he is only in white clothing when he’s talking to the goblin but every other scene he’s dressed as what appears to be a villain. He’s just a mastermind exposing the worlds flaws and victimized while doing so
The two snakes biting each other resembles a rebirth, transformation in life it's like the snake eating his own tail. Also represents the cooling any energy when the Kundalini energy Rises up it sets his own blades from the inside rebirth transformation
He has one of the best guitarist of all time I’ve been falling in reverse fan since I was in high school and the guitar solos, and the guitar riffs in the song are amazing and every song that he plays
HA HA YES! Thanks guys for doing this so quick, I really wanted to see your reaction to this and it didnt disappoint. A couple counter points- The reason this is trending isnt because of the demonic imagery, its trending because this band took 3 different genres of music, blended it seamlessly, and murdered it on all sides. Ronnie had no less than three different rap flows, into a rock song, and then into a metal song. Nobody out here doing this, and if they are it is not at this level. Add into the production value in this video, this thing is on another level for American music, only people putting this much energy into videos is Kpop these days. Why is it ok to attack Christians but not Jews? I believe that was where you were going with that, and while it is a long and nuanced subject. I think you may be able to understand it from the point of history, Jewish people have not always been prosecuted for their religion, but more of discriminated against because of their regional background early in the 1900s (in America specifically, not speaking of thousands of years of world history). The discrimination was more racially charged throughout history into WW2 (you know about Hitler I hope), and generally I think people today talk about anti-semitism, they are more talking about discrimination of a people, not the religion itself (I hope that kind of makes sense, its more racially charged even though Judaism is a religion of all kinds of different people). Also, why is it ok to make fun of christians, or why is the devil/demonic stuff popular, well, we live in a free country baby, where we don't have to live under the threat of murder for bad mouthing Mohammed or any other religious figures. Shock value is shock value, and for those who are agnostic/atheist, the Devil is not real and just a character, which can be entertaining, thats why you see it glorified in entertainment, not because people are devil worshipers. Lastly, before you feel like you are being persecuted for being Christian, remember Christianity has a long history of not so good moments (I implore you to study the crusades) and not everyone feels the same way you do about it, and thats ok! We live in a free society where we can think for ourselves, and live together, even with people taking sides so passionately.
@@robinpyron4567 his crown of thorns actually is covering up an old tattoo. It is likely that it was the best way to cover what he previously had. But he also does get crucified and judged (as you just did) in the public eye.
I would push back on the religion thing. I’m pretty sure he was talking about religion in general - probably had in mind Hinduism or Islam. Most Christians love Jewish people and consider Judaism to be a very important part in the history of Christianity. Also, I think you should study up on the Crusades (not that I really care because I’m not catholic, so I don’t consider the crusades to have anything to do with my beliefs), and understand what happened. The crusades are not the religious war of aggression people seem to think, but rather a counterattack to re-claim territory that belonged to them. Also look into the millions of European slaves the Moors owned. That was also part of the history during the crusades. Anyhoo, something to think about, I know we all come in with our own experience and bias of things, always nice to hear someone else’s perspective.
That scene with the big red banners is similar to a scene in one of the more recent star wars movies. It's when they are addressing the first order soldiers. This was modeled after a Roman Triumph in which they would celebrate the victory of general or soldiers. Nazi Germany would later use similar imagery to celebrate their evil. The line " About to go Darth, about to go Disney Into the darkness, into infinity," is a play on Darth Vaders decent from good to evil and a reference to Buzz Lightyear "To Infinity and Beyond" Line. Disney now owns Star Wars... clever wordplay and nerdy af references.
I mean, I don't know whether the iconic imagery of vertical red banners that is commonly used to denote authoritarian factions in fiction as a product of it's use by the nazis harkens back to Rome, though I know the nazis tended to.
Dude on the far right was my reaction when I first discovered rock/heavy metal and loved it. And the second guy on the left was my mom's reaction to me liking heavy metal and rock 😂😂😂😂
It's not about selling his soul.. It's a shot at how organised religion can twist and misuse the word of God and use fear to control people's lives. Notice how the Catholic priest burnt but the bible didn't.
@@xXCurlyWurlyXx just remember Ronnie is also standing in front of baphamat stars (aka satan symbols) when he’s in front of the red banners. You could be anti organized religion but also support satanism…. So what did Ronnie really mean? Idk it’s weird

I have been hoping and waiting for a reaction to falling in reverse. Good conversation starter for yall. I like it :)if you check out anymore of this band popular monster of course is a good one, his revamped song and reimagined song are very different and would probably be enjoyed more after going through the trilogy, and pop monster. Their last two zombified and voices in my head are extremely enjoyable, and 2 of his older songs that you will probably enjoy and get a good laugh too would be alone and champion. Love all yall, and congratulations on the new baby :) much love from sacramento california 🖤

If they are offended they should look away or play a game of hide and go @#$% themselves. I'm not sorry for this post because I'm not a sensitive little @#$%&.
NAILED IT!! 💯💯💯♥️
As a metalhead you sir understand the message theres a shit ton more but overall you are correct. 🤘🤘
If youre Falling In Reverse, youre going UP.
This type of commentary is exactly why Ronnie does what he does.
To get you LISTEN.
Dude on the right was loving every second
I love how you can see the exact moment each one starts feelin it 😂
tf is that emoji in your name
The thing about Falling in Reverse, and Ronnie Radkie (the creative force of the band) is that all the music they’ve been doing for the past couple years has been really relevant and relatable…mental illness, addiction, cancel culture, etc. also, the songs have been awesome and the videos epic. I think you’d really enjoy digging deeper into their catalog.
Idk why but I appreciate that you used his full name. All these commenters in here saying "Ronnie" like he's their little buddy.
Drake's "Energy" meets Eminem's "Rap God" meets rock music. Brilliant.
🤣🤣🤣
Nah, that shits Corny af
And metal
dragonforce too
I got big A7X vibes.
Hey guys! Love the channel! I am absolutely amazed that this is the first FiR video you tackled! The vocalist is Ronnie Radke. He’s not the way people make him out to be, and nothing he’s saying is truly controversial. Just his methods. And he doesn’t conform which clearly he’s not afraid to make know. He just sees everything as it truly is, which means he also sees through people’s bullshit. It’s a rare gift some of us have on a Soul level.
As for the video.
If you go back to the ending- without thinking about the fact that he’s burning a bunch of people- and just listen to what he’s saying:
“Fear is what keeps you alive, break the fucking chains, take back your life”
and “The fear is what keeps you insane, break the fucking chains, bring back the pain”
The way I took this is that because he went all villain bc of people’s bullshit, they refuse to hear the message the song offers as a whole. They pick apart his lyrics and make things sound bad out of context just because the don’t like him.
What he was saying in the end is that we’re all numb, living life in a haze, listening to everyone else and not ourselves, doing what everyone else wants you to do, being who others want you to be. And that we buy into the mass fear our society creates to distract us from what’s REALLY going on in the world, which causes people to be unstable.
His method is using topics that will trigger people so that they will actually think about things, and maybe open their eyes. And to prove his point. As for those who just keep hating? Psh, just some more views for them.
You guys should listen to Popular Monster!!
The snakes were likely a reference to 'lurking predators' in the industry. The 'snake' is often referenced as a duplicitous backstabber that will kill you from cover. An ambush predator if you will.
Or it could be a reference to the Ouroboros, a serpent devouring itself only to end up rebirthing itself. The concept of 'eternity' if you will.
As for the Christianity question, I actually feel like this a slight of hand on Ronnie's part. If you recall earlier in the song, he referenced that today people are 'more sensitive' and a lot of this has to do with todays political climate. There's a mob of very outspoken hyper politically correct people online and a ton of politicians pushing 'lies' these days and people have quite literally replaced religion in their lives with it.
Theres a GI Joe movie out called snake eyes. They put people in a deep hole for judgment. In the hole come two snakes. They slither in a circle. While the main family and others spectate. If the snakes deem you unworthy, they attack you and eat you.
It sells more because it’s the ultimate battle. In every archetypical story it’s a battle between good and evil… every Disney movie, Star Wars like you mentioned… I dunno, life is constantly a battle between wholesome and unwholesome decisions.. so we gravitate to any story depicting that ultimate battle. Because we are all fighting it.
the one we’re in
It's called the bible. The first book in print and the one which all books are breathed from.
@@clintmoore1674 lol you're going to be real sad when you're left behind, or when all the people you think shouldn't be in heaven greet you there
@@flargan6534 1) I'm an elder pastor of a church for decades. That works both ways. Your "lol" speaks volumes of the truth of the matter which is total narcissism
@clintmoore1674 the fact you are unable to see the irony in your statement is actual narcissism
FINALLY…. After a year of commenting. They finally react to Falling in Reverse. It’s not the trilogy but it’s still great. Wow I feel like a weight lifted off my shoulders
Your reactions have me rolling guys lol 😂😂. Ya’ll were just Ronnie’d and didn’t even know what was coming.
Bro I love your guys reactions!!!! The purity is refreshing seeing all the different views here!
The most obvious but extremely missed thing about this song is the message behind the lyrics. You can tell who pays attention to what he says vs those that pay attention to the visuals.
Truth!👊
100%
You're so right in this. This song has some deep meaning behind it, too bad many misses it.
Luke goes hard on the drums, gotta love this band ❤
Exactly
the lyrics are so deep. my girlfriend hast a mental breakdown and is kinda depressive. and that is fitting in so many ways. that song is giving me goosebumps
Rock, punk rock, metal, etc is VERYYY metaphorical. Lyrically and visually. Usually what they say or portray has a deeper underlying meaning so most of the time you can’t take it as face value and really have to dig deep to figure out what they are saying or meaning.
"Is it a rap song or a rock song?!?" ... Yes.
Next Falling in Reverse song absolutely has to be "Popular Monster"! More great rap and rock mix!
Agreed!
Bro they clearly didnt like it lol
👍👍👍
@@Stephen_Viele for the viewsss! Lol they were feeling the rap part of it tho.
Love Popular Monster
My type of music, rap and rock, the perfect blend! with sick effects... those video transitions are impressive!
Those genre transitions give chills
It's crazy that's your first song of theirs, they have sooooo much to check out that's so diverse
Congratulations you’re the lucky winner of the ongoing giveaway text me on telegram to claim your package...... 🎁
Falling In Reverse is one of my favorite bands so I'm super happy you guys are reacting. I'm sure hoping y'all are going to do more from them because they are absolutely amazing. I would give recommendations but the comment would be way too long lol
Watching ya'll react was a BLAST! loved it fam!!
This is art. Epic mashup of genres to create a thought provoking experience. Awesomeness! 😬
this is THE BEST REACTION VID to this song EVERRRRR!!!! the utter shock on your faces at the visuals on this....
Ronnie has blown the rock and hip world up in this single song. It’s what the world needed! “WATCH THE WORLD BURN!!!!”
This is nothing new for FiR and Ronnie. Popular Monster was (and still is) absolutely huge and it came out like 4-5 years ago. And Ronnie has done rap for years (he even has a solo rap release) but this is the hardest hip hop song I’ve heard from them to this point.
@@MegaTechpc yep that’s what I mean! The 3 piece style of hip hop was amazing. Can’t wait for the next
@davidrivera5180 Ronnie was originally a Metal/ Rock lead singer for Escape the Fate. Some things happened, and he split from the group. Creating his own band, Falling in Reverse in the early 2000s.
@@dannyn6558 yep. Went to jail, they replaced him, there was beef between them. Mentions them in Raised By Wolves, and yeeeeeaaars later, they are friends again.
"Oh Shit! Was that the pastor?!!". "Run that back.". Classic! 😂😂😂
Ey, saludos desde Canarias. He entendido la mitad del video pero me ha encantado vuestra reacción y vuestro buen rollo. Esta canción se ha convertido automáticamente en un clásico de la década de los 20. Gracias por vuestro vídeo. Like!!
You gotta remember that in the beginning of his song he says he battles with depression which ties into the whole demonic stuff all the time. It's not demonic just for the sake of being demonic. Even if it was, rock is rock.
It’s trying to say Christ is a lie as if atheism and paganism aren’t lies. I’m a Christian so people who don’t believe in a creator or the ones who worship demons are brainwashed and dumb in my opinion.
Hollywood devil worshipers trying to win souls for the devil
@johnnyappleseed5590 Or maybe, people can believe in whatever they want. Christianity isn't even close to being the oldest religion. Let's not even get into how many times the Bible was rewritten over the centuries a plethora of times.
@@amandalam693 Ronnie was standing in front of 2 pentagrams lol. are you trying to say the crown of thorns tattoo he just got isn’t supposed to spit in the face of Christianity? Or does he think he’s the new Jesus lol. Idk I enjoy his music but he’s diving into the occult or possibly has been for awhile
@@johnnyappleseed5590
He's saying organized religion is a lie to keep everyone in line. Get a brain.
Listen to Popular Monster, Voices in my head, Zombified, his trilogy, so many more. This is a good rabbit to go down 😜
Yesssss please! ❤🔥🔥
By far my favorite band! Their videos are always amazing.
Song of the century. hits all highs ,lows vocals genres, ,production is perfected, delivers the message and ends leaving you absolutely astonished and wanting more. A balanced of dark light and truth and the world is ready for this shit. Thread lightly.
You have instagram ? 😅
"Was that the Pastor?!" had me laughing so hard, awesome reaction haha
What’s up guys, this video has a lot of symbolism in it.
The point is now days everyone lives in fear the media the world shits on everything and keeps us in a constant panic.
Well a lot of folks suffer from their own personal demons.
This video touches on the beef that a 1980s rocker had with him. Also a few other beers that he had with other artist who ran their mouth.
Ronnie has done an amazing job showing his art.
This video gives me vibes of Star Wars doomsday the boys all kinds of cinematic influences are on display here.
Either way the whole angel vs demons things are to grab your attention. Even the church of satan is just a sarcastic rendition of Christianity.
Art is subjective and meant to make everyone feels something different.
Shocking images help people convey emotional connections.
So do t read too much into it
... Describing the church of satan as a "sarcastic rendition of Christianity" kind of misses the point entirely.
Also, contrary to nonsense, there are actual Satanists out there who really believe in and worship Satan. They're not terribly common, but they do exist.
Yes I love y’all’s reactions!
Much love and appreciation from Kentucky ❤️🙏❤️
Been waiting for you guys to react to this group. Ronnie is phenomenal and very versatile.
This track is a fucking BANGER!!!!!!
Been on LOOP last 4 days!!!
Another great reaction y'all!!!!
Been waiting on y’all to do this video!!!!!!
I loved watching Solo's jaw drop at the change to rock. Too good, keep the reactions coming fellas.
Ronnie the lead singer is insane talented he is the best at mixing rap and heavy metal together his transmissions between rapping clean singing and screaming is insane and so well done
as a rap fan he's a ass rapper
The "about to go Darth, about to go Disney" line though 😆
You guys picked the perfect song to react to. It's such a banger!
This song is amazing. Not enough words
Your faces when it goes heavy was awesome!! 😂. So the idea of the song is he tries to be good and wants to be positive but people keep getting at him and he’s about to explode
Falling in reverse is one of the best in my opinion, I loved seeing them at warped tour! It’d be AWESOME to see you react to some live performances from warped tour, so raw, always kept the crowds attention and kept everyone involved. Ronnie is amazing and so versatile between his singing, screaming, and rapping! Two old songs I still listen to frequently is “Game Over” and “Bad Girls Club”. The drug in me is you, popular monster, fashionably late, pick up the phone, raised by wolves, and it’s over when it’s over
I'm so happy you guys reacted to this song. It gets hard for sure
I just heard about this song today. And the band. Holy shhhh. Because of you guys! Thanks
Anthrax and Public Enemy - Bring the Noise. It’s a song combining metal with rap. Came out in early 90’s.
diversity & lyrical ability of ronnie radke is remarkable every songs a experience check out "popular monster "
you guys should listen to "voices in my head" by falling in reverse. it topped charts when it came out
I am a 65 year old granny and I love Falling In Reverse. Very talented.
RR is definitely an artist unto himself. I think his references to demons is the connection to Catholicism and Exorcism as a way of discussing Established religion. Which is to say religion as a social construct to inundate and indoctrinate rather than teach, love, and encourage. His dad actually started a Bikers for Jesus church so he has a bit of background in Christianity.
I heard Ronnie explaining the song on Octane this morning. Basically, he was a superhero coming to help, then was not appreciated, so he destroyed it instead. 😳😳😳
First time on this channel . Seen so many reactions but the guy on the right left laughing so hard his reaction 😂😂😂 his jaw drop when it switched to metal I loved it
Dude on the right said "is that what Metallica was using" that plus his energy is too much for me!
💙💙💙
another Falling in Reverse masterpiece, Rap, Rock, Metal screams and the video is Hollywood quality 👍
This was like rap, rock, metal, opera so many genres combined & mixed beats & flow switches, varied cadences & double time triple time flows, intense lyrics, great overall sound etc. This guy & group are next level. I will admit as a former lifelong Catholic now born again Christian; despite all the props I just gave & totally admit is there talent & skill wise ....I was a little bit disturbed by 90% of the imagery in the video 🙏 The best song I've EVER heard by them & speaking str8 facts I feel their #1 song was 2020 Popular Monster. I would LOVE to see you fellas react to it next 🙏💯🤙😁 great reaction as always much Love 💖
Honest, as a Christian, this song & videos are still one of my favs. Ronnie follows his own truth. His band is on a spiritual journey that borders on being believers. I’ve been plenty mad at God & his songs have honestly helped me process that over the past decade.
This is a radical song and totally different. Main steam isn't always the best and off stream like this song deserved its props.
Can y'all please do more Falling in Reverse?!? They are absolutely INCREDIBLE and I just love watching y'alls reactions, period! Popular Monster and the Drug in Me is You (you have to do the original and the reimagined version in one reaction 🙏) are both great places to start! Thank you so much for doing this one! God bless y'all! ❤️
Congratulations you’re the lucky winner of the ongoing giveaway text me on telegram to claim your package.............🎁
I’m on board with more as well 🙏🏻
Voices In My Head & I am a Vampire 🙏🏻
You’re spot on about how Christianity is the only religion the modern media allows you to criticize, shit on, attempt to destroy. Yeah, the visuals are pretty shocking. But “brave” would be seeing someone in the music industry attempt to do this to literally any other religion.
Everyone criticizes islam tho
Коли не зрозумів суті, але образився на візуальні ефекти.
Great reaction. "At no point in this video did I know what was going on." It's a phenomenonal song & the best thing about it is how it combines so many genres, as so much of Ronnie's music does. I have loved seeing people from so many different subcultures react to this.
around 12 minutes yall got the whole vibe of the entire video and song. Everything Ronnie goes through and deals with he is open with. He doesn’t hide his stories. But a lot of people continuously try and label him a monster, a drug abuser, all things negative but he is truly such a positive and uplifting person no matter what anyone else says or thinks. He truly is.
So in the end he exposes that this world is flawed beyond repair and no matter what he does he will always be the villain to the world. He’s telling everyone to break the chains and take back their life, but they’re running away from his as if he is actually a devil trying to kill them. Notice how he is only in white clothing when he’s talking to the goblin but every other scene he’s dressed as what appears to be a villain. He’s just a mastermind exposing the worlds flaws and victimized while doing so
I'm guessing most of the people that label him these things are Christians?
from my understanding this song is about him wanting us all to wake up to the spiritual war that is going on RIGHT NOW
The two snakes biting each other resembles a rebirth, transformation in life it's like the snake eating his own tail.
Also represents the cooling any energy when the Kundalini energy Rises up it sets his own blades from the inside rebirth transformation
He has one of the best guitarist of all time I’ve been falling in reverse fan since I was in high school and the guitar solos, and the guitar riffs in the song are amazing and every song that he plays
HA HA YES! Thanks guys for doing this so quick, I really wanted to see your reaction to this and it didnt disappoint. A couple counter points- The reason this is trending isnt because of the demonic imagery, its trending because this band took 3 different genres of music, blended it seamlessly, and murdered it on all sides. Ronnie had no less than three different rap flows, into a rock song, and then into a metal song. Nobody out here doing this, and if they are it is not at this level. Add into the production value in this video, this thing is on another level for American music, only people putting this much energy into videos is Kpop these days.
Why is it ok to attack Christians but not Jews? I believe that was where you were going with that, and while it is a long and nuanced subject. I think you may be able to understand it from the point of history, Jewish people have not always been prosecuted for their religion, but more of discriminated against because of their regional background early in the 1900s (in America specifically, not speaking of thousands of years of world history). The discrimination was more racially charged throughout history into WW2 (you know about Hitler I hope), and generally I think people today talk about anti-semitism, they are more talking about discrimination of a people, not the religion itself (I hope that kind of makes sense, its more racially charged even though Judaism is a religion of all kinds of different people).
Also, why is it ok to make fun of christians, or why is the devil/demonic stuff popular, well, we live in a free country baby, where we don't have to live under the threat of murder for bad mouthing Mohammed or any other religious figures. Shock value is shock value, and for those who are agnostic/atheist, the Devil is not real and just a character, which can be entertaining, thats why you see it glorified in entertainment, not because people are devil worshipers.
Lastly, before you feel like you are being persecuted for being Christian, remember Christianity has a long history of not so good moments (I implore you to study the crusades) and not everyone feels the same way you do about it, and thats ok! We live in a free society where we can think for ourselves, and live together, even with people taking sides so passionately.
I couldn’t say it any better!!! 👏
You took the words out of my mouth!!!
Isn’t he also implying that he’s being crucified (this crown of thorns) and the people who are crucifying him are “holier than thou”. (Priest)
@@robinpyron4567 his crown of thorns actually is covering up an old tattoo. It is likely that it was the best way to cover what he previously had. But he also does get crucified and judged (as you just did) in the public eye.
I would push back on the religion thing. I’m pretty sure he was talking about religion in general - probably had in mind Hinduism or Islam. Most Christians love Jewish people and consider Judaism to be a very important part in the history of Christianity. Also, I think you should study up on the Crusades (not that I really care because I’m not catholic, so I don’t consider the crusades to have anything to do with my beliefs), and understand what happened. The crusades are not the religious war of aggression people seem to think, but rather a counterattack to re-claim territory that belonged to them. Also look into the millions of European slaves the Moors owned. That was also part of the history during the crusades. Anyhoo, something to think about, I know we all come in with our own experience and bias of things, always nice to hear someone else’s perspective.
Heck yea finally! 😂🤣 We need some more falling in reverse!!!
One of my favorite channels reviews one of my favorite bands, and talks super based. I love this
This is one of my absolute favorite songs that was ever made.
I sent a link of this video for my granddaughter to watch..she said " it's already on my playlist" This grandma was late to the party😂
That scene with the big red banners is similar to a scene in one of the more recent star wars movies. It's when they are addressing the first order soldiers. This was modeled after a Roman Triumph in which they would celebrate the victory of general or soldiers. Nazi Germany would later use similar imagery to celebrate their evil. The line " About to go Darth, about to go Disney
Into the darkness, into infinity," is a play on Darth Vaders decent from good to evil and a reference to Buzz Lightyear "To Infinity and Beyond" Line. Disney now owns Star Wars... clever wordplay and nerdy af references.
I mean, I don't know whether the iconic imagery of vertical red banners that is commonly used to denote authoritarian factions in fiction as a product of it's use by the nazis harkens back to Rome, though I know the nazis tended to.
Wow, it's like a rollercoaster experience for you guys 😀 !
Dude on the far right was my reaction when I first discovered rock/heavy metal and loved it. And the second guy on the left was my mom's reaction to me liking heavy metal and rock 😂😂😂😂
You're the first ones to mention all the symbolism. Kudos. He sold his soul to be a performer is what I take from it.
It's not about selling his soul..
It's a shot at how organised religion can twist and misuse the word of God and use fear to control people's lives.
Notice how the Catholic priest burnt but the bible didn't.
@@xXCurlyWurlyXx just remember Ronnie is also standing in front of baphamat stars (aka satan symbols) when he’s in front of the red banners. You could be anti organized religion but also support satanism…. So what did Ronnie really mean? Idk it’s weird
It is just a symbolism of industry and people that are going after him. Nothing more, nothing less.
No they're not.
No, he trained hard and has talent, that is how he became a performer.
Lets gooooo, finally got the Family reacting to FIR, which is what was on the banners they had at 4:00 , if yall wanna hear another one thats insane, "Drugs" by Falling In Reverse is FIRE
Dude on the left is my favorite lol nerdy mug I love it when he was talking about star wars lol preach
Falling In reverse - voices in my head. Best song I've heard from them.
Hi guys, I have been enjoying your critiquing of music. I am a 62 year old and I love it when you guys enjoy the old-school music I do have a request Stacy Lattisaw love on a 2 Way St. I don’t know if you’ve done her already, but I would love to hear it.
I've been watching your videos for a while and you guys not on givegood vibes out to everyone but always have out a smile on my face and I feel like a proud auntie or something seeing how far yall have come with your understanding of music and appreciating different kinds. I have been hoping and waiting for a reaction to falling in reverse. Good conversation starter for yall. I like it :)if you check out anymore of this band popular monster of course is a good one, his revamped song and reimagined song are very different and would probably be enjoyed more after going through the trilogy, and pop monster. Their last two zombified and voices in my head are extremely enjoyable, and 2 of his older songs that you will probably enjoy and get a good laugh too would be alone and champion. Love all yall, and congratulations on the new baby :) much love from sacramento california 🖤
Yoo fool on the right idk name but when the metal hits hard your face haha love it
Hahaha your reaction was what I anticipated it to be once his eyes rolled back.
This is a bad ass song!!! 😎🤘🏻🥰
PROPS FOR KNOWING ITS NOT JUST VADER! Everyone assumes it's Vader, but you hit that nail on the head. 🤘

The chills I gained to the lead up of the priest bursting to flames is insane. Every time.
Absolutely loved your guys reaction to ronnies genius abilities.
Great reaction hope you guys react to more falling in reverse songs you can start with the trilogy losing my mind, losing my life and drugs in that order, popular monster, zombified, voices in my head, the drug in me is you the original and the drug in me is reimagined, I'm not a vampire the original and I'm not a vampire revamped. There so many more amazing songs after that
