Ren put an ad on the internet saying, "ROOMMATE NEEDED. I MAKE A LOT OF NOISE.", and Romain, the guy doing the guitar solo, answered. Later on they met Gorran, the bass player, who ended up sleeping on their couch. They each play all three types of guitar (and multiple other instruments) and during concerts they pass their guitars back and forth between songs like omicron covid. Ren originally played the drums when the band required them, until Glenn came on board. Hence, The Big Push. At the end of this set, in a different video, you can hear Gorran say, "Let's go before the police come." and the concert is over. They are currently trying to figure out a way to play together again that fits their disparate locations and schedules.
yeah heard gorran saying on a live he has wife an children in Belgium but that was few months ago so maybe they moved afterwards he also said romaine was back in france for a while but seen he was back in UK writing new songs.@@Codex7777
Someone commented on this video when they posted it asking how they got an outdoor recording to sound so clean. Their answer was simply we have a Ren 🤣
If you watch War PIgs (from the same busking session) there's a moment where you see Gorran with a huge smile and it pans to Romaine and the Ren and they also have huge smiles and you can actually feel the joy they have playing together. Ren said to make these videos (clear out background noise, balance sound) he sometimes had to go note by note for each vocal microphone, each instrument microphone and the mic from the guy filming. The patience to make it meet his standards shows how talented he is in production as well.
Yes. Ren spent hours on the mixing. The drums were on an i phone and then the speakers into their own zoom. Ren really enjiys mixing. Ren and Romain were roomates and Gorran moved in around pandemic time. They have several lockdown streams on Live Nation. Now you need to do Ren and Sam Tompkins Earned it/ Man's World/ Falling
The Big Push will always leave you smiling. They are just magical together. As you go down the rabbit hole you will realize how talented they all are, as they will share lead vocal duty and switch instruments. All of their solo projects are special too.
**ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED** congratulations! You have discovered new ren friends The Big Push 😊 they have so many amazing songs, both covers and originals. Strap in! 💜💜
You haven't met storytelling Ren yet. Probably his most revered genre. The Tales of Jenny and Screech Trilogy, (13 min version puts them in the right order) is iconic and an experience that no one forgets. I'd suggest that before diving in TBP catalog.
I agree. The Big Push is a wonderful world, yet learning all about Ren himself requires seeing his amazing production of the tales of Jenny and Screech and Violet. The three tales are epic story-telling performed by a master of his craft. They call Ren's story-telling talent Bardcore, taking place on this grand Shakespearean stage of Ren's creation. All three songs are originals and Ren's guitar artistry is breath-taking. I promise you will be amazed!
I think the reason why Renegades loves to watch reaction videos. Is because of the feeling we got the first time watching a video, and then watching someone else having that same experience for the first time. Its priceless and sooo enjoyable
No matter your mood, Ren has something for it. It's never the same. Always expect to hear the unexpected. He's so fresh every time he puts out a video/performance. It's a refreshing energy in today's world
The only limitations these busking performances had was the quality of the mics and amps. But Ren is meticulous in post production. Ren has music running through his veins. And he is a magnet of other talented artists and musicians. His collaborations are unreal. With his illness and ongoing treatment, he hasn’t been able to do any busking or live shows in so long. I’m sure that is killing him. But he’s making up for it by writing tons of new material, working on his next full length album, and filming a bunch of videos. Everything he does is unique and filled with passion and his love for the craft. Really enjoying your journey!
New sub for the Rennercoaster. I double the suggestion for Ren/Sam Tompkins Earned it/Mans World/ Falling. Vocal masterpiece with great guitar improv by Ren
He can also tear the hell out a bass. Also, as you move through discovering Ren you will find that he attracts some of the best musicians and singers around him like a magnet. Ren was on those streets since he was 15, so he has paid his dues.
Love your reactions. One suggestion, please back up a little after each pause. When you don't do that you've broken a bar or a vibe ,back it up 5 sec so we can get the whole bar. Thanks❤
The Big Push are always tight and always a fun vibe. Just a pleasure to watch and listen to. The Charismatic Voice has an interview with Ren in which he discusses recording, mixing and equipment he uses.
Thanks for letting me know, I’d love to check that out and get some inspiration, I’m always trying to improve my own mixes that I crest and use for the backing tracks for my student performances
And yep Ren scats brilliantly. You should check out WADE IN THE WATER/ NINA SIMONE/ TROUBLE SO HARD next! THE BIG PUSH! 🥁🎸🎤🎵 REN (Welsh) - vocals, acoustic, electric, bass mostly Romain Axisa (French) - vocals, acoustic, electric, bass mostly Gorran Kendall (English) - vocals, acoustic, electtic, bass mostly Glenn Chambers (Irish) - drums mostly The Big Push formed in 2017. Initially being Ren, Romain and Gorran with Glenn joining later to play drums. Gorran and Romain met busking, Romain and Ren then met through Facebook while Ren was trying to find a flat mate. They would all busk together and Glenn would sit in as drummer while also playing bass with another friend Rafa. They then decided to become a band and would take to the streets of Brighton and also created masterpieces of their own. They played numerous gigs including a sold out tour of the U.K. and also released a 6 track EP called “Can Do Will Do”. They busked together for the last time on 14th December 2022 and played their final gig at the Brighton Dome a short while later. Having to go on hiatus due in part to Ren moving to Canada for medical treatment and their lives going in different directions. Although they remain good friends and Ren and Romain have mentioned wanting to play together again.

Give this guy some more awards right! Bang on mate . If they don’t then they lose all credibility in my eyes Love your knowledgable and empathetic reactions to RENs art
As an independent artist, recognition from the industry will be an uphill battle. He was already snubbed by the Brit Awards, despite having a #1 album in the UK. Not one nomination. But he doesn’t do it for the accolades. You can tell he has a pure passion for creating and performing.
I think the way to look at Ren is that he started out busking and doing live shows. He mastered that art at the beginning and realized that it plays well in videos too. It makes it all more real when it is a one-take and no autotune. He does play with the overlaying and making his own beats too which is freaking amazing.
When people are saying one take, it's really one shot. He always does at least several takes then chooses the best one. In the 1st Money Game took at least 137 takes. There's no edits, live audio. MG3 is the exception, it has one cut. He does all post production, and on several busking videos. Ren has explained how meticulous that process is in an interview. Something I've always noticed is that he has such a keen sense of rhythm and timing.
FYI on Rens channel he just posted (on the day this vid posted) a SHORT, you could go watch it and it won’t spoil any of your future reactions, it will just let you know what he thinks of content like yours. Respect
Just a small part of REN’s story. Ren was born on 29 March 1990, in Bangor, Gwynedd, Wales, and was raised in Dwyran,[14] on the island of Anglesey.[5] He taught himself to play guitar by slowing down tracks by Jimi Hendrix and John Frusciante.[15]: 20:11 He dreamed of being a musician and sold CDs of beats he made at home on his PC[5] using Reason[16]: 01:33 when he was 12.[5] When he was 13, he performed live for the first time with a rendition of the AFI song "Morningstar".[15]: 11:02 Ren moved to Bath to study music performance at Bath Spa University.[17] While there, he started a band called Trick The Fox.[16]: 01:45 In 2009 Ren was discovered by Eric Appapoulay while busking one of his own songs.[15]: 34:23 In 2010 he signed a recording contract with Sony Records.[17] Ren went to London with Eric[15]: 35:00 and started working on his debut album with Charlie Fowler, another member of Trick the Fox, at Sanctuary studio in South London. They started writing tracks, touring, and recording. They also posted some tracks and videos to the band's Facebook and TH-cam accounts,[18] and Tom Frampton joined the band.[19] Wikipedia.
These guys are phenomenal. Individually they are all super talented. Together they are magical. They followed this up with War Pigs, which is also highly recommended. Their original songs are also worth checking out 💜💜
Every member of this band is incredibly talented - I particularly love Romain Axisa's stuff (playing bass here). And every time I see this performance, I have the same thought that you did - Oh, to have been there that day!
Romain Axisa Gorran Kendall Both have their own yt channels. Gorran is busking in Malaga Spain rigjt now and will be doing a gig in France with old band mates. He does the vocals in the Rolling Stones covers and does folk rock type of music. Romain does beautiful originals that defy description. The drummer Glenn Chambers,i think is traveling maybe married and working IT. There might be a reunion concert if they can get themsrlves in same place.
And you haven't even yet got to his masterpiece trilogies The Tale of Jenny and Screech (full) and Money Game 1, 2 & 3. Looking forward to your reactions to those!!!
My man is a chameleon/alien/beyond -it's ridiculous how talented Ren is...homie drips flavor:) The whole band is tight AF, and good MFs! Great work on reaction -dig your vibe sir -more OF these cats please!! TYTC:)
Maaaaaaaate.peach i am so glad you got to this. Thank you for replying personally to my comment on the 1 mill sub clip. This shows you everything this guys has to offer.. so much talent across the board.and obviously having a ball doing it. I knew you would be blown away by this..keep up the great work
Really enjoying your reactions. Was looking out for you!! Your comments are thoughtful and honest. The Big Push do covers but also have a lot of original songs - I think you’d like them all but I suggest Precious next 😁👍x
I suggest you watch Ren's interview with Justin Hawkins. He opens so much about himself, illness etc. in the interview. Go for a run, plug in your earbuds and enjoy!
The tales trilogy is a fantastic show of his one take story telling prowess. We enjoy seeing you become introduced to his various skills. Look forward to the plethora of things you get to enjoy. We can never experience it for the first time again but it's cool seeing others take it in!
You hit it on the head when you said “you can tell he’s really having FuN” it’s his pure joy and totally comes through in his unique diverse talent❣️ Really enjoy relistening with you for your reaction😏
Straight after this they go on to do Black Sabbath's "war pigs" mash up, also try his song "Fire" done when he was with Sony on the "freckled Angel album. Until they parted ways due to his illness, Amicably Ren said.
Yay, knew he'd get there in the end winning you over with at least one of his pieces, it was enjoyable watching you still on the fence but leaning more & more to one side as you did each reaction. Enjoy the deep dive into the Rabbithole- I'm quite certain now, even despite your initial reservations, that you really won't get bored and amongst them you Will find at least one, if not more, tracks that will go on your listen to again playlist
I love seeing other musicians react to Ren! I love it and it sounds amazing, but I'm not a musician. I love him getting acknowledged for his talent. My other favorite performance is Wade In The Water/Nina Simone/Trouble So Hard. Ren kills it on the bass. And you get to experience Gorran's (bass on this one) vocals! Or check out Bongo Bong or Praise You for a master class on harmonizing. This became my favorite band at 53. Pray they reunite! Check out Romain Axisa solo work. He is the king of melancholy. Or Gorran's solo work (they used to call him the Bob Dylan guy). They are like the Beatles where they are alllll so talented. Thanks for this!
Romain has golden fingers for guitar. He writes a lot of his own songs and melodies also. Listen to Romain playing his "75 beats per minute" it's exquisite. Just guitar, no vocals. I love Romain's talent and his music and how he plays with such emotion, it's like he is one with his instrument.
All self taught with the guitar as well. I think I read somewhere he had a lessons and that was it. If you haven’t seen it yet his 1 million subscribers video is a must it could also be really motivating and inspirational for the kids you teach.
As a lifelong student and admirer of talented musicians, I'll say that Ren stands shoulder to shoulder with greats like Prince snd George Michael... music is in his blood.
Easily the very BEST reaction/analysis for this video clip. I have watched dozens of lesser reactions, often from content guys with larger subscriber bases and they do not hold a candle to your breakdowns, interjections, observations and conclusions. Very cool.
Most excellent reaction - i love this performance so much and enjoyed watching along with you. Now that you’ve had this Big Push “massage”… it’s time for the 🦶🏻“kick in the face” that is their rendition of War Pigs!! 🤘🏼🎧🤟🏼
So you haven’t seen the Tales of Jenny and Screech? You must watch the (Full Version) it’s 13 minutes long but it’s another side of Ren that I feel should be one of the first videos along Hi-Ren, Ren and Chinchilla - Chalk Outlines, and Ren and Sam Thompkins - Blindeyed. With this performance from The Big Push being another as well.
I know this is from 8 months ago - but damn I enjoyed your reaction, so HAD to comment. Thanks - that was fun! Great to see the band being appreciated for how awesome they are as individual musicians and as a unit :-)
As a guitarist interested in his one take performances he has a 3 song opera called "the Tale of Jenny and Screech official Music Video (each song is a one take). Its a tragedy in the classic sense.. Guitar highlight, Ren playing his nylon string acoustic guitar while walking down a staircase..
Jazz, blues, reggae and a little bit of magic, Ren throws a little bit of everything in the mix! You will hear him scat in a lot of his songs! Really enjoyed this reaction! New sub!❤️🔥✌🏻🫶🏻
Ren's got ya !! lol.. It's all good got me to ! I think his passion is what I feel and see in him, and you know he has like 160 videos ! So far I have not heard one I have not liked. they all seem to carry messages in them. Even if it is just him expressing living with pain in his life.. Your first reaction I was a little disappointed. Nice to see someone else see what I do and I think many of us do .. I think we have some pretty great stuff coming from REN !!
Your discovery of Sick Boi, Ren, has been my favorite of any reactor. I wish I could hear what you have carried over to your students. I make my mom, 80yrs old, watch your morph and we were both all choked up.
You aint seen nothing yet ... Ren is a musician of at least three generations - simply superb at all he does, and no, i'm not a kiss ass 😅. Something different check out The Warning Evolve live at the mtv vma ❤
Go to New Orleans- busking is not a solo act. Where the Big Push is busking in this video is Briton UK. That’s where they went to music college. The city had a program that promoted the arts by having an arts district that encouraged street performances.
Just been to the City of York an Historical City with 2000 years of history Dating back to Roman Saw some great bands Busking on the Streets. I Looked around the Crowed and All Nationalitys .Fantastic.
Missed one in the title 😂 Bugzy Malone DJ Luck, get me through the night. Little bit of luck. Including the guillotine bar in Back to 74 (Jungle 23 " Volcano") ... Tina Turner was "Bi" 😂 private joke... Great reaction ❤
You're right about the jazz! Ren likes Django Reinhardt. He shouts him out in a song. He explains the mixing in depth in his interview with The Charismatic Voice channel. He goes through sometimes second by second tweaking it and adjusting the volume on the live recordings to compensate for turning slightly from the mic etc. He also posted yesterday about reactors and your impact on his career. th-cam.com/users/shortsuyYBfxEdtQc?si=KO2zDvbnYXPZxP8w
Great to see you enjoy that. If you want to respect him as a person, see his 1 million subscriber thank you... ahhh you have seen it, will have a look.

one of my biggest regrets is not finding Ren before hi ren and not getting to see the big push
Same! @@jasonstewart3996
Yeah they all over the globe Ren in Canada Gorran in Spain Glenn in Belgium an Romaine still in the UK.
I thought Glenn had moved to Australia, after getting married... What's he doing in Belgium?
yeah heard gorran saying on a live he has wife an children in Belgium but that was few months ago so maybe they moved afterwards he also said romaine was back in france for a while but seen he was back in UK writing new songs.@@Codex7777

Ren and Romain were roomates and Gorran moved in around pandemic time. They have several lockdown streams on Live Nation.
Now you need to do Ren and Sam Tompkins Earned it/ Man's World/ Falling
Yeah I love that one with Sam. I'd love to see them back doing something together again one day too
YES! I completely agree!! I can't wait to see your reaction to that one. I loved your reaction to this one!! Thank you.
Just remember the big push had three frontmen
The Big Push will always leave you smiling. They are just magical together. As you go down the rabbit hole you will realize how talented they all are, as they will share lead vocal duty and switch instruments. All of their solo projects are special too.
The drummer is always looking at Ren in Big Push performance's for the tempo and direction
He doesn't get enough credit for this, and using his fingers on the symbols, never saw that before
Welcome to the party; We've been waiting for you.
I'm so here for this journey.
**ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED** congratulations! You have discovered new ren friends The Big Push 😊 they have so many amazing songs, both covers and originals. Strap in! 💜💜
I love their original stuff too. Precious, Dignity, Mannequin, Sweet Little Lady, Why My Woman, Watch Out, Swan Song, and All My Heroes.
You haven't met storytelling Ren yet. Probably his most revered genre. The Tales of Jenny and Screech Trilogy, (13 min version puts them in the right order) is iconic and an experience that no one forgets. I'd suggest that before diving in TBP catalog.
I agree. The Big Push is a wonderful world, yet learning all about Ren himself requires seeing his amazing production of the tales of Jenny and Screech and Violet.

The story telling is next level.
I think the reason why Renegades loves to watch reaction videos. Is because of the feeling we got the first time watching a video, and then watching someone else having that same experience for the first time. Its priceless and sooo enjoyable
Bongo Bong. Goran taking a sip of Red Wine...😍
No matter your mood, Ren has something for it. It's never the same. Always expect to hear the unexpected. He's so fresh every time he puts out a video/performance. It's a refreshing energy in today's world
Ren est le mec talentueux de sa génération. Un artiste de cette qualité n'apparait pas tous les ans, mais peut-être tous les 5 ou 10 ans, voire plus.
The only limitations these busking performances had was the quality of the mics and amps. But Ren is meticulous in post production.
Ren has music running through his veins. And he is a magnet of other talented artists and musicians. His collaborations are unreal.
With his illness and ongoing treatment, he hasn’t been able to do any busking or live shows in so long. I’m sure that is killing him. But he’s making up for it by writing tons of new material, working on his next full length album, and filming a bunch of videos. Everything he does is unique and filled with passion and his love for the craft.

New sub for the Rennercoaster. I double the suggestion for Ren/Sam Tompkins Earned it/Mans World/ Falling. Vocal masterpiece with great guitar improv by Ren
He can also tear the hell out a bass. Also, as you move through discovering Ren you will find that he attracts some of the best musicians and singers around him like a magnet. Ren was on those streets since he was 15, so he has paid his dues.
Wade in the Water is a great example of him on bass

Give this guy some more awards right! Bang on mate . If they don’t then they lose all credibility in my eyes
Love your knowledgable and empathetic reactions to RENs art
100% Hi Ren, The Tales and Money game 3 all worthy of the top awards imo
As an independent artist, recognition from the industry will be an uphill battle. He was already snubbed by the Brit Awards, despite having a #1 album in the UK. Not one nomination. But he doesn’t do it for the accolades. You can tell he has a pure passion for creating and performing.
I think the way to look at Ren is that he started out busking and doing live shows. He mastered that art at the beginning and realized that it plays well in videos too. It makes it all more real when it is a one-take and no autotune. He does play with the overlaying and making his own beats too which is freaking amazing.
When people are saying one take, it's really one shot. He always does at least several takes then chooses the best one. In the 1st Money Game took at least 137 takes. There's no edits, live audio. MG3 is the exception, it has one cut. He does all post production, and on several busking videos. Ren has explained how meticulous that process is in an interview.

Respect
Ren and Sam Tompkins Earned it/ Man's World/ Falling to show another side to Ren.
Just a small part of REN’s story.
Ren was born on 29 March 1990, in Bangor, Gwynedd, Wales, and was raised in Dwyran,[14] on the island of Anglesey.[5] He taught himself to play guitar by slowing down tracks by Jimi Hendrix and John Frusciante.[15]: 20:11 He dreamed of being a musician and sold CDs of beats he made at home on his PC[5] using Reason[16]: 01:33 when he was 12.[5] When he was 13, he performed live for the first time with a rendition of the AFI song "Morningstar".[15]: 11:02
Ren moved to Bath to study music performance at Bath Spa University.[17] While there, he started a band called Trick The Fox.[16]: 01:45 In 2009 Ren was discovered by Eric Appapoulay while busking one of his own songs.[15]: 34:23 In 2010 he signed a recording contract with Sony Records.[17] Ren went to London with Eric[15]: 35:00 and started working on his debut album with Charlie Fowler, another member of Trick the Fox, at Sanctuary studio in South London. They started writing tracks, touring, and recording. They also posted some tracks and videos to the band's Facebook and TH-cam accounts,[18] and Tom Frampton joined the band.[19] Wikipedia.
These guys are phenomenal. Individually they are all super talented. Together they are magical. They followed this up with War Pigs, which is also highly recommended. Their original songs are also worth checking out 💜💜
Every member of this band is incredibly talented - I particularly love Romain Axisa's stuff (playing bass here). And every time I see this performance, I have the same thought that you did - Oh, to have been there that day!
I think that's Gorran on bass here... 😉
Romain Axisa
Gorran Kendall
Both have their own yt channels. Gorran is busking in Malaga Spain rigjt now and will be doing a gig in France with old band mates. He does the vocals in the Rolling Stones covers and does folk rock type of music. Romain does beautiful originals that defy description.
The drummer Glenn Chambers,i think is traveling maybe married and working IT. There might be a reunion concert if they can get themsrlves in same place.
I’ve seen many reactions to this and by far I learnt stuff from you. Thanks ❤
And you haven't even yet got to his masterpiece trilogies The Tale of Jenny and Screech (full) and Money Game 1, 2 & 3. Looking forward to your reactions to those!!!
Love your painting in the background!
My man is a chameleon/alien/beyond -it's ridiculous how talented Ren is...homie drips flavor:) The whole band is tight AF, and good MFs! Great work on reaction -dig your vibe sir -more OF these cats please!! TYTC:)
I see you are going deeper into the world of Ren! Your smile and comments say everything 🎉🎉🎉😊
Absolutely LOVE the little tiny bit of Ska-Punk they added, right after “Road To Zion”, into this medley of songs!!!
Ren has put a message for you and the other reactors who engage with him into his YT shorts.
Hey, I love the painting behind you! :)
Maaaaaaaate.peach i am so glad you got to this. Thank you for replying personally to my comment on the 1 mill sub clip. This shows you everything this guys has to offer.. so much talent across the board.and obviously having a ball doing it. I knew you would be blown away by this..keep up the great work
Really enjoying your reactions. Was looking out for you!! Your comments are thoughtful and honest. The Big Push do covers but also have a lot of original songs - I think you’d like them all but I suggest Precious next 😁👍x
Didn't I tell you?
You will never get tired of hearing this voice😀
Greetings from Germany 👍🤝🙋♀️
I suggest you watch Ren's interview with Justin Hawkins. He opens so much about himself, illness etc. in the interview. Go for a run, plug in your earbuds and enjoy!
The tales trilogy is a fantastic show of his one take story telling prowess. We enjoy seeing you become introduced to his various skills. Look forward to the plethora of things you get to enjoy. We can never experience it for the first time again but it's cool seeing others take it in!
This is my favorite busking of ren
My other one is him and chinchilla doing one dance!!
That is amazing!!
I love when a guitar player watches because they KNOW what they are seeing and hearing.
You have been so fun to watch as you discover Ren.
The are all very talented musicians would have loved to see them live on the streets...amazing....thanks.
Thank you man
Another awesome reaction
You hit it on the head when you said “you can tell he’s really having FuN” it’s his pure joy and totally comes through in his unique diverse talent❣️ Really enjoy relistening with you for your reaction😏
The irrepressible joy and energy is infectious. There will never be another collab like TBP.
My fav busking session. This is done so well. Its freaking amazing!!!
I loved how you loved this. This is probably the 100th time I have enjoyed it again LOL
He loves amongst many Nina Simone, thus the jazz, voice, soul and piano. 🎶💛
Lovin your reactions to Ren!!
You not tired of his voice yet? 😂Dude should be cleaning up at the likes of The Brit awards...his talent is off the chart!
He wasn’t even mentioned - which is one of the reasons why reactors helping to spread the word are so important! X
@@analisasmith7927 Indeed...you need a label behind you to get a mention...Ren will be better off in the long run without them.
Straight after this they go on to do Black Sabbath's "war pigs" mash up, also try his song "Fire" done when he was with Sony on the "freckled Angel album. Until they parted ways due to his illness, Amicably Ren said.
Soooo glad you did this one ✌🏼❤️
Yay, knew he'd get there in the end winning you over with at least one of his pieces, it was enjoyable watching you still on the fence but leaning more & more to one side as you did each reaction. Enjoy the deep dive into the Rabbithole- I'm quite certain now, even despite your initial reservations, that you really won't get bored and amongst them you Will find at least one, if not more, tracks that will go on your listen to again playlist
I love seeing other musicians react to Ren! I love it and it sounds amazing, but I'm not a musician. I love him getting acknowledged for his talent. My other favorite performance is Wade In The Water/Nina Simone/Trouble So Hard. Ren kills it on the bass. And you get to experience Gorran's (bass on this one) vocals! Or check out Bongo Bong or Praise You for a master class on harmonizing. This became my favorite band at 53. Pray they reunite! Check out Romain Axisa solo work. He is the king of melancholy. Or Gorran's solo work (they used to call him the Bob Dylan guy). They are like the Beatles where they are alllll so talented. Thanks for this!
Great harmonies on Swan Song too
Yes, yes…yes!!
Romain has golden fingers for guitar. He writes a lot of his own songs and melodies also. Listen to Romain playing his "75 beats per minute" it's exquisite. Just guitar, no vocals. I love Romain's talent and his music and how he plays with such emotion, it's like he is one with his instrument.
All self taught with the guitar as well. I think I read somewhere he had a lessons and that was it. If you haven’t seen it yet his 1 million subscribers video is a must it could also be really motivating and inspirational for the kids you teach.
Just seen you’ve already reacted to it
Love your reactions!! Thanks a lot❤
What a fun/great review! Love your insight. 😊 TBP is just perfection.
I am loving your reactions, thank you. Keep them coming! :D
As a lifelong student and admirer of talented musicians, I'll say that Ren stands shoulder to shoulder with greats like Prince snd George Michael... music is in his blood.
Easily the very BEST reaction/analysis for this video clip. I have watched dozens of lesser reactions, often from content guys with larger subscriber bases and they do not hold a candle to your breakdowns, interjections, observations and conclusions. Very cool.
Blues guitar is like my favorite music to hear more than any other instrument, it's just so good. 😎
Most excellent reaction - i love this performance so much and enjoyed watching along with you. Now that you’ve had this Big Push “massage”… it’s time for the 🦶🏻“kick in the face” that is their rendition of War Pigs!! 🤘🏼🎧🤟🏼
So you haven’t seen the Tales of Jenny and Screech? You must watch the (Full Version) it’s 13 minutes long but it’s another side of Ren that I feel should be one of the first videos along Hi-Ren, Ren and Chinchilla - Chalk Outlines, and Ren and Sam Thompkins - Blindeyed. With this performance from The Big Push being another as well.
He has said he goes in and labor intensive as it is adjusts all the levels individually.
I know this is from 8 months ago - but damn I enjoyed your reaction, so HAD to comment. Thanks - that was fun! Great to see the band being appreciated for how awesome they are as individual musicians and as a unit :-)
Great reaction and your art is impressive ❤
Check The big push ,Mano Chao cover ...pretty slick
Ren learned how to live in the moment and we're all just takin notes. Thanks for the content, you're a sweet dude 🤙
👏👏👏👏👏👏🔥love this reaction! 🫶
As a guitarist interested in his one take performances he has a 3 song opera called "the Tale of Jenny and Screech official Music Video (each song is a one take). Its a tragedy in the classic sense.. Guitar highlight, Ren playing his nylon string acoustic guitar while walking down a staircase..
Jazz, blues, reggae and a little bit of magic, Ren throws a little bit of everything in the mix! You will hear him scat in a lot of his songs! Really enjoyed this reaction! New sub!❤️🔥✌🏻🫶🏻
More Big Push please 🙏
Ren's got ya !! lol.. It's all good got me to ! I think his passion is what I feel and see in him,
and you know he has like 160 videos ! So far I have not heard one I have not liked. they all seem to carry messages in them. Even if it is just him expressing living with pain in his life..
Your first reaction I was a little disappointed. Nice to see someone else see what I do and I think many of us do .. I think we have some pretty great stuff coming from REN !!
Reggae - Scat - more Reggae - scat - Ska - Rap - what? Yep that's awesome!❤😊
Your discovery of Sick Boi, Ren, has been my favorite of any reactor. I wish I could hear what you have carried over to your students.
I make my mom, 80yrs old, watch your morph and we were both all choked up.
An excellent insight to Ren - as a person of solid integrity - watch his reaction to 1m subscribers. You will be impressed
His call and response game is off the charts good!!!
Awesome, thank you, loved it 🙏🦉❤️🐊👍
Ren is a phenomenon!!
You aint seen nothing yet ... Ren is a musician of at least three generations - simply superb at all he does, and no, i'm not a kiss ass 😅. Something different check out The Warning Evolve live at the mtv vma ❤
Now that was a dope reaction! Thanks!
You need to look up Romain Axisa. His guitar skills are crazy and he has a beautiful voice. He’s been putting out a lot of solo music on his channel.
Go to New Orleans- busking is not a solo act.
Where the Big Push is busking in this video is Briton UK. That’s where they went to music college. The city had a program that promoted the arts by having an arts district that encouraged street performances.
thx for ur reaction!
Great reaction. I appreciate your insights👍💕🦇
Just been to the City of York an Historical City with 2000 years of history Dating back to Roman Saw some great bands Busking on the Streets. I Looked around the Crowed and All Nationalitys .Fantastic.
Missed one in the title 😂 Bugzy Malone DJ Luck, get me through the night. Little bit of luck. Including the guillotine bar in Back to 74 (Jungle 23 " Volcano") ... Tina Turner was "Bi" 😂 private joke... Great reaction ❤
You're right about the jazz! Ren likes Django Reinhardt. He shouts him out in a song.
He explains the mixing in depth in his interview with The Charismatic Voice channel. He goes through sometimes second by second tweaking it and adjusting the volume on the live recordings to compensate for turning slightly from the mic etc.
He also posted yesterday about reactors and your impact on his career. th-cam.com/users/shortsuyYBfxEdtQc?si=KO2zDvbnYXPZxP8w
And shouted out reactors in his Halftime retake
Great to see you enjoy that. If you want to respect him as a person, see his 1 million subscriber thank you... ahhh you have seen it, will have a look.
A man who gets it...subbed for sure!
LESSS GOOO
I'm from UK wish I'd been there 2 ❤
I really really want to see you react to Ren's live twitch impromptu jam session x
Sir, good critique.
