The part of the vid where the laptop falls and smacks dude in the face is a reference to Sebastian Bach former singer of hair metal band Skid Row. He criticized FiR for using laptops during their live performances. Love how Ronnie always throws shade at his most recent hater in his videos
@@TheBlackSpeed Things I noticed 1. He says he’s going to brandish a weapon while triggering the bomb in the plane. He jumps, plane exploded, he keeps going. He is the weapon. 2. The snakes are indicative of snakes in the industry that pretend to be friendly because, of course, Ronnie now has multiple Gold tracks and a twice platinum track. 3. On the stage he says he’s about to go Darth, Disney, Infinity while standing on a stage in front of what looks like Storm Troopers on the deck of one of their starships 4. The church is a metaphor for the orthodoxy of the music industry. Where you have to do things a certain way and stay in your genre lane. People are trying to get him to quit doing it and the demon he spoke with is him, telling him to keep going. 4. Eventually he gets pissed and goes over the top and destroys the entire industry with something over the top because they told him not to. In effect, this song blew up the orthodoxy of the music industry and then the world.
The number of the plane which is on his tombstone is the year his prison sentence would have ended. The priest burning was his disdain for televangelist. If you notice the good book is not on fire.
That's the thing about Ronnie..... his vibe, his voice, songwriting, everything is fucking awesome. And he truly understands rap/hiphop just like he understands rock and metal. He just gets it!! No wonder guys like Tech N9ne wanna make songs with Ronnie... it's cause the dude is incredible. He's my favorite artist right now and it isn't even close.
Tech N9ne is one of the best (and in my personal top 5) to ever do it. I like to say he's one of those people that's your favorite rapper's favorite rapper haha. A collab with them would be amazing, I bet Ronnie would absolutely be enamored with that idea. They need to make it happen and stop playin'!
Chuck D and Public Enemy taught me rhythm in the '80s and were the reason i became a drummer. Tech N9NE influenced every piece of music i ever wrote while playing in Pitt's Drumline. Started listening to metal around the time for the percussion parts. Now i love both equally. This was great. Thank you.
Awesome reaction!! You can tell when a reactor really likes a band rather than just talking and FIR is one of my favorite bands. I'm 61 and just starting to appreciate rap, though, and reactions are what got me interested enough to check it out, but I def like the way Ronnie raps.
Great reaction! Please check out the live version on CaliberTV. I never listened to rap before Ronnie. But I gave it a chance because of Ronnie. I'm still more a metalhead, but I now have Tom MacDonald and some Tech N9ne, Madchild, Dax, Krizz Kaliko, etc on my playlist. Greetings from Germany
His reimaginings are so incredible. He takes the exact same lyrics and gives them new meaning. This song in particular makes me see my daughter's struggles in a very personal way. It helps me understand.
New Sub from the UK. Great reaction !!! I think why so many like what Ronnie and Ren do is because you never know what you are going to get from each song because they can bend differant genes of music together and it never fails to work. Def do the live version its crazy insane and will make you love the song even more.
UK IN THE BUILDING! Love from Texas. :) And I would definitely agree with your analysis and assessment, nothing like being surprised by high talent. And yep, live version coming!
Great reaction! I love that you love Ronnie's songs so much! What you say about the respect for music it's so true! If there was only one person on earth never forgetting where he came from, it would be Ronnie for sure.
Oh, and I owe you an answer on the rap music question: I never really listened to rap before I came across FIR and Ronnie. He made me like rap, bc his mixtape was so fuckin good I literally fell for it (btw you should check the mixtape songs sometime). Later I started to listen to Drake and Tech N9ne and ofc Eminem. But I still love Ronnie's rap style, his beats, his lyrics and his vocals!!! the most.
And that's wassup, you respected the genre and branched out to other things, which made you respect and appreciate it even more. Love to hear that. :)@@someinamillion1020
Somehow I'm just now finding your channel. I'm much more of a hard rock/metalhead than anything but love Falling in Reverse, both their hard rock songs and their rap songs. Also love Ren ever since hearing Hi Ren. Aside from an Eminem phase back in the day, haven't listened to much rap. But good music is good music. Guess I gotta browse your channel for more Ren and FIR now.
The algorithm doesn't respect the low sub greatness haha. But I'm glad you made it! :) Haha yes you do. And I even made it easy and put everything in playlists so you don't have to search for. Enjoy the rabbit hole!
I am a metalhead at heart. Always have, always will. Having said that, I love almost every genre. In particular I grew up listening to old school hip hop. I have loved watching Ronnie improve in his multiple genres and abilities. He only continues to get better and peice his genre bending music to a purely cohesive result. He quite literally is a musical genius..
Ok. I know this reaction been out for a while now but I gotta say this. This is by far the best reaction to this song I have seen! When you threw off the headphones walked away and all we hear is WTF?! I was laughing so hard because when I first saw the video I reacted the same way! You definitely nailed it bro! Keep it up!
Aww haha thank you for that, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I thoroughly enjoyed it myself! Hahaha I knew yall would find that funny, because editing it it made me lau gh too lol. I'm definitely going to keep going, hope to keep seeing you around!
You’re amazing bro. Love the rollercoaster of emotions you display. You show respect. You ask great questions, questions that are thought provoking but still places respect on the artist and the art in general. I can almost promise Ronnie and the band invite these questions and want to have these kinds of discussions with people - they love when people take their work and show them a different perspective. The world needs more people like you. I love this bro.. mad respect. Keep killing it
First things first, this is the first reaction i have seen of yours.... instantly subscribed because you give off a dope energy!!! secondly as someone who loves the golden era of Hip Hop (Yes i am talking about the nineties..... fight me haha) i also love both Ren & Ronnie because as you said, they are students of the craft and respect it! and they both come at it from a very lyrical approach. well that's enough from me, i am off down the Blackspeed rabbit hole of videos!!!!
Haha aww that's high praise. Much love, brotha. Glad you felt the vibe and will stick it out! And nah man that is the golden era haha no need to squabble! ENJOY THE RABBIT HOLE! And we have many more to come. :)
I love rap!!! Rock, reggae, blues all music and Ren and FIR mixes genres, been into it since Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park etc. Alone is my favorite song by FIR
It’s funny that you ask that question about- do I like rap? I love the way Ronnie raps- it’s the way he raps in his rock voice. Due to listening to Ronnie I have started to appreciate Rap, but honestly I don’t listen to much straight rap music. I like it if it’s switches genres.
Great reaction, thank you. I have to admit, I have never been a big fan of rap. It is 2000% about the artist! It is about them and their story and their portrayal of it that draws me in. That, and the exceptional quality, especially with Ronnie and Ren. Their whole heart and soul is right there for you to share, to laugh, to cry, and experience this with them. And that is why I scour TH-cam on the daily to watch people react for the 1st time. It was something that moved me, and it's nice to see that it moves others similarly. 😊
I'm glad you could find your way to my neck of the woods and enjoyed the video. :) I admit, rap has kind of lost its way from the mainstream stand point, but there is just too much emotion, raw talent, and ability there to ignore. I'm sure you'll find something more in the genre you like, or maybe I'll share something and make it happen! Ha.
Love your reaction! Ronnie is super talented, the way he incorporates so many genres into one song seamlessly is insaaaaane. To answer your question though, I liked rap before I knew about FIR. In fact, when I first heard his music, the reason I liked it was because it had rap in it. This is by far my favorite FIR song. The visuals alone are top notch, it's like watching a movie. But also the lyrics are 🔥🔥🔥
Aye, that's what I'm talking about. Glad to see you are a fellow person of culture as well, haha. ;) And yeah, all his music videos are so damn clean, one of my favorite parts about doing these reacts.
Im here after seeing the short to this video. I Searched for the long one and saw a bunch of other reactions you have done. You are doing great, I’m down to see more of you, keep up the good work, :).
And thus, the Shorts are doing its job ha. That thing is just a tool. Cause my real work are my long forms and being able to interact with yall, and just enjoy the vibes. So I'm glad you took a gamble and like what you saw. :) Hope to see you around more sometime!
I've watched a ton of reactions and the thing that nobody has picked up on yet is that the speed rap section is inside Ronnie's mind. It's his inner "demon" that he's tapping into when he writes his lyrics. His dark side. The voice in his head. His demon is typing out the lyrics as they think of them. Then they kind of argue with each other as to who's actually creating the lyrics during the last part before he's ejected into the next scene.
Hey, appreciate you calling that out! I thought it was pretty implied, but you're right it's not something singularly called out. It's such a dope visual and powerful moment to see how he's handling his inner turmoil. Seems to be a consistent theme of Ronnie's.
Ohhhh how cool and amazing reaction!!! I love Ronnie and falling in Reverse songs !! You have so much energy dude and l think you are very positive person. I love Ren music too. You have a very good taste in music. I am happy to learn about you. I like so much your piercing too my friend!!! I am waiting to see your new reactions ❤
Haha, all of this was so sweet and nice of you to say. I'm glad you stopped by and it seems like you're going to stick around! Can't wait to see you in more of my comment section. :)
I never listened to rap really until recently. Thanks to Reaction channels. I would watch reactions to bands by reactors I liked and then end up checking out other things. I think Falling in Reverse was a contributing factor to me becoming more openminded to checking out thr genre though to be honest.
Hahaha. You gotta love when I can earn the quick subs, just off the good time! Glad you're here. And I hope so, want to see your comments in other videos!
Defo one of my fave FIR songs. Iv always been a rock/metalcore/metal fan but metal and rap are very closely linked and have always loved rap/hiphop too! I only listen to Ren now 99% of the time. My fave bands (bar The Big Push) are Sleep Token, Bad Omens and FIR. But I like most genres. 🖤
awesome reaction dude ,grew up listening to both rap/metal ,FIR is one of my favorite bands ,i listen to old school rap ,n.w.a, public enemy ,666 mafia thro to lil wayne ,xxxtentacion, lil uzi vert etc alot of metal fans are into rap ,i used to go to a club that played both ,best night two genres coming together , new sub bro
Oh trust me, I know. Some of my best people are metalheads and can still recite all the rap I like, and vice-versa with me into metal haha. Good music is good music is good music. What I always tell people. Love your style. And appreciate you! Glad you liked what ya heard and gonna settle on in.
Metal head at heart, but I'll listen to just about anything. i really enjoy this music because it's a great bridge between different communities. Sure there are other hybrids and some that sound like poor mashups, but songs like this elegantly done artistically are the way to go for solid entertainment. My amateur prospective.
I've never been a big rap fan, im definitely more of a rocker girl, but i love how Ronnie raps and its made me able to appreciate other rap music a lot more.
Hahaha hey, I like metal. I like all music, but you are right. Would I label myself one? Nah, but..it does get me going haha. Much love, glad you like the video! Hope you stay around for more!
Bless the YT algorithm gods today for bringing me here. It's interesting you talk about "the way they rap" specifically. I personally come from a VERY metal and rock-heavy background, and wasn't introduced to much rap, nor did I seek it out. However I've also been inundated with musicals and a lot of classical music from being a theatre kid, and I can find a LOT of similarities between the two genres of music I've grown up on. Ren and Ronnie had plenty of rap experience and inspiration to pull from to create their own unique sounds. They take what works, and make it their own. And sometimes, that can bring in curious open minds that wish to dive deeper. Thanks to artists like Ren and FIR, I've found a new genre of music that I can dive my ADHD hyperfocus into 🤷🏻♂️😂
Haha bless them for bringing you to me indeed! I'm glad you could find me in my little pocket of TH-cam. I can appreciate and understand that, the curiosity part of things. And so far, it's been majorly positive and I'm happy to hear that. It's been good reading all of you guys' thoughts on this.
I appreciate your videos man! It's great watching your reactions! I don't like all rap per say but I do enjoy certain people rapping. The rap I do listen to and like I really like. Your videos though!! Awesome man so awesome! Keep it up and thanks for posting.
I don't know why I just noticed this now...but you have "Crossfire" in the background! When I was a kid that was, I think, the *only* board game I ever wanted. I asked for it every Christmas and birthday for a few years. I never did get it...but might have to get it now as an adult. I know, totally unrelated to your reaction (which was AWESOME by the way...your mouth dropping open was epic), but just had to say thanks for the memories! Edit: Oh...and I'm old...but I LOVE rap. Ever since the first time I heard a 2 Live Crew bootleg (a dubbed cassette tape)...i needed more. Then came Dr. Dre and the Chronic and I never looked back. Nas Illmatic changed me when I first heard it. I love all kinds of music, but Rap will always be my first love, and top category.
Haha appreciate the attention to detail. And yeah, Crossfire is a CLASSIC! It was a whole journey finding and getting that from Toys R Us years ago. Glad ya respect it! Thanks for the love. Great taste in music as well. My first love as well, always will be.
I love music, rap just happens to be one of the genres I love (been listening since Rapper's Delight, Sugar Hill Gang) Too many artists to list. Ronnie and Ren both are in the top 10 for me (maybe even top 5). So far this is my favorite Falling song (haven't came close to hearing everything they have to offer). Really love your reactions, great reaction as always. Look forward to more. Another artist you should check out IMO is Jinjer. More of a NuMetal band (I think that's the genre) but a good intro is Teacher, Teacher the lead singer crosses over to a little rap in that one.
Thank you for those nice words, man. I really appreciate it. :) Glad you'll stick around for more! And great taste in the old school. I'll have to add those to the list and check 'em out one day!
Do we all like rap?? I’m older mid 50’s. I do like rap and have for quite a while…. But my typical music to listen to is rock, heavy metal…. The groups that pulled me into rap would be older like Biggie stuff like that. Then we get into Eminem and he’s the one that caused me to get into rap even more…. Next rapper I really enjoyed was Tech…yes Tech Nine and I love him!!! Seriously Tech Nine is incredible…. I also love that he crosses into metal a lot. Most people my age don’t care for rap… but I 100% can see the talent it takes to be a good rapper… This guy and this band have been blowing my mind!! They are so good and I’m not sure the world knows this yet. You don’t see this level of talent often…. And they have it!! Great reaction!!!
I wouldn't say most people your age don't care, cause remember, I grew up in the hood and all I saw were old heads bobbin' to rap. So I think it'll always be cultural. I could say most people I know who are 50+ don't listen to metal, but you would probably say you know plenty haha. It's all relative. Point being, we like what we like and all music is good music. Glad you recognize that as well. Yeah, Falling In Reverse is nuts. Can't believe how long it took me to finally catch up to 'em. Agreed, this talent is generational. Appreciate your words!
Bro, I'm late, but I'm someone who doesnt listen to a lot of rap. I love certain artists (like boogie w da hoodie,) but i LOVE the way ronnie raps. I can understand almost every single word, the lyrics are FIRE, just CRAZY good. That's also why I'm a huge fan of twentyonepilots. Same deal. FIR goes HARD.
Interesting that the priest goes up quick and so does the cross... but the Bible falls away untouched by the flames. By the end of the song I was thinking he took a page from Cube, jackin beats and styles... fun song. Into serious metal and punk rock for about 40 years but plenty of discs on Rap-A-Lot and everyone on the W/Coast in the 80's...Spice 1 is sitting next to laptop. Good music is good music. Thanks for the reactions.
To be honest with your quick clip brought me here and your reaction got me interested. I am a rock/ metal head. Now to answer your question yes i like break ya neck from busta rhymes, eminem, lil wayne, and a lot of the older rap (mainly where theres a message i can understand)
Aye, much love. Glad it could swing you over this way and you had a decent time watching! And yeah, I'll always say rap/metal both have a very similar place in the culture. Glad to see that's true more and more.
I'm here check your reacting this song, because i see you on short video on youtube, btw great reaction bro and then i love this song so fucking much hell yeah
Aye! Glad you took the time to come check it out, knew you'd like it. Appreciate you. And yeah, this song is still probably my favorite one by them ha.
I'm a Renagade and I saw Falling in Revese last month. I was an NF fan before Ren, (and some Logic). Since then I've enjoyed a lot of rap artists, (Tech N9ne, Kendrick, Eminem Iof course),and a bunch of others that skip along my streaming service more or less randomly. But Ren, Prif and Falling in Reverse are an obsession for me this year. For me, it's lyric's over beat.
I grew up in the 90's on rap and punk rock. So yeah, I just like rap but Falling In Reverse is a perfect band for me. I never listened to them until this song came out and it blew me away so I looked into their other stuff and I was instantly a fan. Dude is seriously incredible.
@@TheBlackSpeedFor sure. His drug addict mom abandoned him. His brother died. Was a heroin addict. Went to prison for a few years. Plenty of substance for an artist there. And he's actually like 40.
Oh shit, I was responding to something else. TH-cam glitched, that's annoying. So to your original comment, and the reply, yeah that is a painful and enriching past. I can tell he has a lot he can and does talk about in his music. That's insane. Always love when people overcome adversity, it's something I painstakingly (almost to a fault) look for in people. It's how I'll know I'll relate to you.
Yo. As you have reacted to the studio version, i suggest reacting to the live one as that is actually mind-blowing. And i like certain people rapping like ronnie and Ren, but not necessarily actual rappers like i have a few favourite emimen songs bc they are classics but im a metal head so its even cooler when its rapping in metal vocals. For example, destructo by hunt the dinosaur is the best example i can think for now. But i like the philosophical questions as well, and how people think (when they are not being toxic) is really interesting. Anyhoo, I hope this gives you some ideas and some things to think about as well
Yup, I've been told countless times to react to that one! Believe me, I'm excited to and ready. Appreciate you answering the question and giving your thoughts to it.
If you didn't know, Ronnie also has a mixtape out called Watch Me. I can't get enough of the song Brother. Of course, I also like the song he did with Falling in Reverse, also called Brother. I was never really all that into rap or hip hop.. at most I had a couple Eminem and DMX songs that I would listen to every now and then
I for sure did not know that. Thanks for that heads-up! And hey, nothing wrong with that. We like what we like, glad to see you were open minded to the genre. I didn't have Brother on the list; it's now added.
Love your FIR reactions!!!! I have always listened to some rap, not like heavy but it was def in my mix. From dre, to snoop, pitbull, missy Elliott, Eminem, and even some Limp bizkit and Linkin Park mix. I have been listening to Ronnie since like 2006 Escape The Fate days , and i just love how unique he is, sort of reminds me of Eminem but has more vocal capabilities. He has that aggressiveness in it that just makes you feel every word he says. The emotions drip in every line, all the pain and anger, and i can relate to that. Its very relatable. It makes you want to ride the train with them ya know lol 😆 Anyway i think you should check out one of his older songs that has multiple genres in it, i think youll be surprised. There is no video but its called Rolling Stone, i suggest using the lyric video lol 😆 I cant wait for the next one! Im on this ride with you my dude!! I love it 😊
Haha enjoy the journey with me, we have a long way to go. And also, love your taste and style in music as well! Definitely with you on the Eminem comparison, you can tell he's definitely inspired by the style.
Great reaction - so to answer your question, I am a life long hard rocker. Heavy metal, rock, pop rock, anything rock. A sprinkle of country and a splatter of other. I have not been a follower or fan of rap/hip hop, until Ronnie and Tom McDonald. And I can honestly say that my interest peaked because I liked what they say and how they say it. Most rap that I have liked or followed in the past would be a blend of rock & rap, ie: Linking Park, Limp Bizkit are 2 notables for me. The 90's started to produce that blend and it was attractive. However, I would argue that forms of the art of rap have been around for a LONG while - don't believe me? Check out some of the storytelling songs that came out in the 70's, specifically 'The Devil Went Down To Georgia' by The Charlie Daniels Band. This is country with a slight rock bend, using simple rap rhyming schemes - all before rap was a thing. And Try Blondie (band) from the 80's - 'Rapture'. They was WAY ahead of their time and according to BBC the band & Debbie Harry, (female lead) released 'Rapture' - a rock song that became the first song featuring rapped vocals to top the US charts (at number one). So, I find it interesting how much music I have listened to and collected in my life catalog(s) that seemed to have rapped vocals, but ultimately I need to (mostly) be able to headband to my music ... therefore, rock 😂
Im middle aged now but I did not like rap growing up when I listened to primarily metal industrial and rock. I jumped onto the Dr Dre and Snoop bandwagon and had their CDs but didn't really get much else into Hip Hop or rap until my 30s. Finding artists like Aesop Rock and Immortal Technique but Ive recently gotten into more hip hop and rap like Dax. I just like it to have a message and some depth and I think growing up it was hard to find that in a hobunk town with MTV telling me what to like. Of course as a suburban white kid I also liked Eminem and ICP so I feel like I have teetered across the scene but never really respected it until I grew up and that is why I love FIR for their blend of Rap and Metal. By the way I found your channel just now because of FIR and I am loving your style man. New sub.
I appreciate this thought and your perspective. I always enjoy reading people's journey through a genre and how they found what they liked and didn't like. I'm glad the algorithm did its job and brought you here! Appreciate earning your sub. We have a good time around here and hope you'll get that same feeling in my older (and newer) videos. :)
To answer your question I used to listen to quite abit of rap when I was a teenager like Eminem, Dre, 2pac fell off it abit when I found metal. Because of Corey Taylor from Slipknot I discovered Tech 9 they did a song called Wither together and blended both genres beautifully and of course falling in reverse do what they do and are amazing at it. For me personally it’s the blend of both.
Great reaction! First time I heard this song I was blown away. Some people dont notice but he doesnt burn the Bible, he was burning the person preaching the message and the people in the church get burned too because of their hypocrisy, at least thats my interpretation.
You brought up a very interesting question. About Ren and Falling in Reverse and whether we like them rapping or like rapping. I have credited Ren and Ronnie Radke to being able to introduce me to rap in a way that allowed me to appreciate it and really hear it for the first time. I'm a 60 plus year old white woman who never could figure out what anybody saw and wrap that also never really listened to it just knew what it was in general. Ren and FIR are both relatively new to me and when they added the wrap portions or style in their music it was surprising to me and for the first time it's like I really heard it. It has allowed me to now listen to other rap music and hear it differently. To me they open the door for me to try to understand better something previously I could not get into.
That's a fair response and I can understand that. The style they present and the way they rap allowed you to see the genre in a new light, thus you may have a different appreciation for it now. And that's fair, nothing wrong with that at all. Appreciate you taking the time to write that out. :)
I like rap for sure as well. I tend to resonate more with ronnies style of rapping and rocking. I am the kind of person to listen to the lyrics of a song more than the beat. I resonate a lot with falling in reverse with the depression and past drug addiction. He describes things perfectly on how it feels. If a song has really good lyrics that resonate with my soul then i will love the song no matter how it sounds. Falling in Reverse is definitely my favorite band of all time. They really are talented. That being said, my favorite genre of music is rock/heavy metal but i really enjoy the rapping added in as well. I am glad you are enjoying this band as well and i really like your reactions because they feel genuine. There are reactors out there that i will just skip through because i can tell it isnt a genuine reaction. Keep it up. Again i will suggest "Ronald" by Falling in Reverse. It just came out. Its an amazing song and the video is really cool ❤
Oh for sure. The fake reactors are a buzzkill on this platform, so I'm glad people are starting to see through it and at least enjoy what they're getting here. What I'm here for! And yep, go comment on it and let me know what you think, did it a while ago! :)
@@Miss_Murder1669 Haha it's all good. Gotta turn my notification bells on and hit that subscription section/search my channel. Don't want you missing the vids!
Any song is my favourite lol love falling in reverse following this song he brought out last resort with is a papa roach cover should watch it's a masterpiece
I fuckin love your reaction I’m a huge fan of FIR & Ronnie. I’ve seen him live 9 times since 2021. He’s amazing. Watch the live version of this song. It’s his big FU to all the haters saying he’s lip syncing.
Oh, I already did! :) Go search my channel and you'll find it. And you are 100% right. I was ENAMORED by the live performance. And you're too kind, I've been seeing you other comments. Thank you for that. :)
Tbh newer trap and rap mixing with metal core and edm is what brought me more into rap and hiphop. I grew up listening lot of hiphop and rap by proxy but never got into it that much (was a sad numetal kid growing up and while numetal does have hiphop influence in it it only scrapes the surface barely). I think for me it was the exposure by artists that I like who do genre bending that got me accustomed and through that I got deeper into understanding and appreciating the artistry in a whole new level and now it has become big portion of the music I listen to. So yes and no. I started liking rap because how for example Ren and Ronnie do it but they also took part in opening a whole new scene to explore. I'm still more fan of the lyricism than the sound of rap but its quickly blending. And yes this is my fave FIR track.
Listen 😂 I’m a HUGE rap fan, Ronnie and Ren are AMAZING- I’m a huge Kendrick and Cole fan (they’re in my top 5 easy). But I listen to EVERY genre. In terms of musicians/lyricists/artists in general Ren and Falling in Reverse are some of the best. Billie Eilish is another one with AMAZING and unique artistry. 👌🏽her videos: Lovely, Hostage, and Bury a Friend are ones I think you’ll enjoy for the artistry alone.
I think the Ronnie fans that like him since 2004 with escape the fate, like the way he raps cause it blew our minds the first time he sprinkled it in his music. i know if a rapper you liked just started putting metal infused into his art, you'd love watching peoples reactions that had no idea.
Haha. I gotta do a little bit of it all. I never know what I'll like until I hear it for the first time, kind of the beauty of these things. But will always do me, first and foremost. Appreciate that reminder!
I think what FIR did with their music is bridge that gap between people who love hip-hop/rap/trap and those that love emo/metal/djent. I enjoy seeing the rap fans' reactions when it switches to rock and vice versa for metal heads. While I don't listen to rap as often as I do rock/metal, seeing artists dipping hard outside of their respective genres is fucking brilliant, and it makes you appreciate the lyricism and musicality of each genre. My opinion on certain music genres over the years definitely has gone from "I don't listen to X" to "if it's good music, put it on".
The part of the vid where the laptop falls and smacks dude in the face is a reference to Sebastian Bach former singer of hair metal band Skid Row. He criticized FiR for using laptops during their live performances. Love how Ronnie always throws shade at his most recent hater in his videos
It's crazy how I 100% knew there was something different about that scene, it was too out of place lol. Appreciate that context!
Most recent? In Zombified he made a reference to the mic stand incident. That was not recent, or brought up recently before making the video.
@@LongandWeirdName you really gonna argue semantics? Smh
Lol. xD
@@TheBlackSpeed Things I noticed
1. He says he’s going to brandish a weapon while triggering the bomb in the plane. He jumps, plane exploded, he keeps going. He is the weapon.
2. The snakes are indicative of snakes in the industry that pretend to be friendly because, of course, Ronnie now has multiple Gold tracks and a twice platinum track.
3. On the stage he says he’s about to go Darth, Disney, Infinity while standing on a stage in front of what looks like Storm Troopers on the deck of one of their starships
4. The church is a metaphor for the orthodoxy of the music industry. Where you have to do things a certain way and stay in your genre lane. People are trying to get him to quit doing it and the demon he spoke with is him, telling him to keep going.
4. Eventually he gets pissed and goes over the top and destroys the entire industry with something over the top because they told him not to.
In effect, this song blew up the orthodoxy of the music industry and then the world.
The number of the plane which is on his tombstone is the year his prison sentence would have ended. The priest burning was his disdain for televangelist. If you notice the good book is not on fire.
Was there a book I missed because there was a bunch of books burning
in one scene it is on fire but in every other one it is not so i don't know what the intention was there.
That's the thing about Ronnie..... his vibe, his voice, songwriting, everything is fucking awesome. And he truly understands rap/hiphop just like he understands rock and metal. He just gets it!! No wonder guys like Tech N9ne wanna make songs with Ronnie... it's cause the dude is incredible. He's my favorite artist right now and it isn't even close.
Tech N9ne is one of the best (and in my personal top 5) to ever do it. I like to say he's one of those people that's your favorite rapper's favorite rapper haha. A collab with them would be amazing, I bet Ronnie would absolutely be enamored with that idea. They need to make it happen and stop playin'!
Chuck D and Public Enemy taught me rhythm in the '80s and were the reason i became a drummer. Tech N9NE influenced every piece of music i ever wrote while playing in Pitt's Drumline. Started listening to metal around the time for the percussion parts. Now i love both equally. This was great. Thank you.
Awesome reaction!! You can tell when a reactor really likes a band rather than just talking and FIR is one of my favorite bands. I'm 61 and just starting to appreciate rap, though, and reactions are what got me interested enough to check it out, but I def like the way Ronnie raps.
the style switch is nuts, it's cool to see that kinda stuff in music.
Great reaction! Please check out the live version on CaliberTV.
I never listened to rap before Ronnie. But I gave it a chance because of Ronnie. I'm still more a metalhead, but I now have Tom MacDonald and some Tech N9ne, Madchild, Dax, Krizz Kaliko, etc on my playlist.
Greetings from Germany
Appreciate the love and support from Germany! :) And I'll add that react to the list!
Definitely check out Last Resort - I loved the original, but Ronnie kills it. And it can be interpreted as a sequel of sorts to this one
Yep, I got Last Resort (Reimagined) on my list. It's coming!
I like the way he raps and what his messages are AND the heavy ass break down!!!! He’s a whole genre in himself!
His reimaginings are so incredible. He takes the exact same lyrics and gives them new meaning. This song in particular makes me see my daughter's struggles in a very personal way. It helps me understand.
New Sub from the UK. Great reaction !!! I think why so many like what Ronnie and Ren do is because you never know what you are going to get from each song because they can bend differant genes of music together and it never fails to work. Def do the live version its crazy insane and will make you love the song even more.
UK IN THE BUILDING! Love from Texas. :) And I would definitely agree with your analysis and assessment, nothing like being surprised by high talent. And yep, live version coming!
Great reaction! I love that you love Ronnie's songs so much! What you say about the respect for music it's so true! If there was only one person on earth never forgetting where he came from, it would be Ronnie for sure.
Oh, and I owe you an answer on the rap music question: I never really listened to rap before I came across FIR and Ronnie. He made me like rap, bc his mixtape was so fuckin good I literally fell for it (btw you should check the mixtape songs sometime). Later I started to listen to Drake and Tech N9ne and ofc Eminem. But I still love Ronnie's rap style, his beats, his lyrics and his vocals!!! the most.
And that's wassup, you respected the genre and branched out to other things, which made you respect and appreciate it even more. Love to hear that. :)@@someinamillion1020
Somehow I'm just now finding your channel. I'm much more of a hard rock/metalhead than anything but love Falling in Reverse, both their hard rock songs and their rap songs. Also love Ren ever since hearing Hi Ren. Aside from an Eminem phase back in the day, haven't listened to much rap. But good music is good music. Guess I gotta browse your channel for more Ren and FIR now.
The algorithm doesn't respect the low sub greatness haha. But I'm glad you made it! :)
Haha yes you do. And I even made it easy and put everything in playlists so you don't have to search for. Enjoy the rabbit hole!
4:20 is the only time stamp you need in this reaction 😂😂 great reaction brother
Hahaha this one is still one of my favorite reactions I've ever done. I'm glad you liked it, and hope you stick around for more!
I am a metalhead at heart. Always have, always will. Having said that, I love almost every genre. In particular I grew up listening to old school hip hop.
I have loved watching Ronnie improve in his multiple genres and abilities. He only continues to get better and peice his genre bending music to a purely cohesive result. He quite literally is a musical genius..
Ok. I know this reaction been out for a while now but I gotta say this. This is by far the best reaction to this song I have seen! When you threw off the headphones walked away and all we hear is WTF?! I was laughing so hard because when I first saw the video I reacted the same way! You definitely nailed it bro! Keep it up!
Aww haha thank you for that, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I thoroughly enjoyed it myself!
Hahaha I knew yall would find that funny, because editing it it made me lau gh too lol. I'm definitely going to keep going, hope to keep seeing you around!
You’re amazing bro. Love the rollercoaster of emotions you display. You show respect. You ask great questions, questions that are thought provoking but still places respect on the artist and the art in general. I can almost promise Ronnie and the band invite these questions and want to have these kinds of discussions with people - they love when people take their work and show them a different perspective.
The world needs more people like you. I love this bro.. mad respect. Keep killing it
The one day Ronnie responds to me, I know I made it haha. This was very nice of you to say, thank you for that. Made my weekend honestly lol.
You need to do the live version by caliber tv. People says he’s lip syncing and he proves them wrong. ❤️🔥🤘🏼. Love your energy great reaction
Oh really? Yeah TONS of people have told me to do it, but didn't know that fun fact about the lip syncing. It's going to come soon. :)
First things first, this is the first reaction i have seen of yours.... instantly subscribed because you give off a dope energy!!! secondly as someone who loves the golden era of Hip Hop (Yes i am talking about the nineties..... fight me haha) i also love both Ren & Ronnie because as you said, they are students of the craft and respect it! and they both come at it from a very lyrical approach.
well that's enough from me, i am off down the Blackspeed rabbit hole of videos!!!!
Haha aww that's high praise. Much love, brotha. Glad you felt the vibe and will stick it out! And nah man that is the golden era haha no need to squabble!
ENJOY THE RABBIT HOLE! And we have many more to come. :)
Much love brother, great reaction as always! Have a great holiday season ❤
Thank you for that, hope you did as well!
I love rap!!! Rock, reggae, blues all music and Ren and FIR mixes genres, been into it since Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park etc. Alone is my favorite song by FIR
Alone!!! Have you seen Ronnie roast himself about it for like 5 minutes?! 😂 but it is still one of my favs!
@@LunarGodess same
It’s funny that you ask that question about- do I like rap? I love the way Ronnie raps- it’s the way he raps in his rock voice. Due to listening to Ronnie I have started to appreciate Rap, but honestly I don’t listen to much straight rap music. I like it if it’s switches genres.
And that's okay, you like a style of rap and this man certainly is talented.
I grew up on Bone, Pac, Too short, Easy E, Metallica, Guns N Roses, Motley Crue. So I'm safe to say I love both
Great reaction, thank you. I have to admit, I have never been a big fan of rap. It is 2000% about the artist! It is about them and their story and their portrayal of it that draws me in. That, and the exceptional quality, especially with Ronnie and Ren. Their whole heart and soul is right there for you to share, to laugh, to cry, and experience this with them. And that is why I scour TH-cam on the daily to watch people react for the 1st time. It was something that moved me, and it's nice to see that it moves others similarly. 😊
I'm glad you could find your way to my neck of the woods and enjoyed the video. :) I admit, rap has kind of lost its way from the mainstream stand point, but there is just too much emotion, raw talent, and ability there to ignore. I'm sure you'll find something more in the genre you like, or maybe I'll share something and make it happen! Ha.
Love your reaction! Ronnie is super talented, the way he incorporates so many genres into one song seamlessly is insaaaaane. To answer your question though, I liked rap before I knew about FIR. In fact, when I first heard his music, the reason I liked it was because it had rap in it. This is by far my favorite FIR song. The visuals alone are top notch, it's like watching a movie. But also the lyrics are 🔥🔥🔥
Aye, that's what I'm talking about. Glad to see you are a fellow person of culture as well, haha. ;) And yeah, all his music videos are so damn clean, one of my favorite parts about doing these reacts.
I search for reactions that go down the Ronnie rabbit hole. It’s amazing. I love that you appreciate him!
I haven't done some FIR in a while. I'ma fix that soon.
@@TheBlackSpeedno fear & trigger warning - no videos yet
@@heathercreel6349 That's all right. Makes it hard to do a react to it lol but I don't mind.
You are my absolute favorite reaction guy!! Your honest and I enjoy your facial expressions. Can't hide an honest reaction!!!!
Aww haha yay! I always love to hear that. :) Thank you for that! And nope, whether I like something or not, you'll see it on my face and feel it haha.
Im here after seeing the short to this video. I Searched for the long one and saw a bunch of other reactions you have done.
You are doing great, I’m down to see more of you, keep up the good work, :).
And thus, the Shorts are doing its job ha. That thing is just a tool. Cause my real work are my long forms and being able to interact with yall, and just enjoy the vibes. So I'm glad you took a gamble and like what you saw. :) Hope to see you around more sometime!
I've watched a ton of reactions and the thing that nobody has picked up on yet is that the speed rap section is inside Ronnie's mind. It's his inner "demon" that he's tapping into when he writes his lyrics. His dark side. The voice in his head. His demon is typing out the lyrics as they think of them. Then they kind of argue with each other as to who's actually creating the lyrics during the last part before he's ejected into the next scene.
Hey, appreciate you calling that out! I thought it was pretty implied, but you're right it's not something singularly called out. It's such a dope visual and powerful moment to see how he's handling his inner turmoil. Seems to be a consistent theme of Ronnie's.
Ohhhh how cool and amazing reaction!!! I love Ronnie and falling in Reverse songs !! You have so much energy dude and l think you are very positive person. I love Ren music too. You have a very good taste in music. I am happy to learn about you. I like so much your piercing too my friend!!! I am waiting to see your new reactions ❤
Haha, all of this was so sweet and nice of you to say. I'm glad you stopped by and it seems like you're going to stick around! Can't wait to see you in more of my comment section. :)
"Psyke, I'm just playin'"
You had me laughing at that, nice one XD
Lmao that had ME laughing. RUN IT!
I never listened to rap really until recently. Thanks to Reaction channels. I would watch reactions to bands by reactors I liked and then end up checking out other things. I think Falling in Reverse was a contributing factor to me becoming more openminded to checking out thr genre though to be honest.
Subscribed 1 minute and 14 seconds in. Loving the energy and excitement, great reaction! Definitely going to watch more.
Hahaha. You gotta love when I can earn the quick subs, just off the good time! Glad you're here. And I hope so, want to see your comments in other videos!
I agree that Ren and Ronnie both have the gift. And yes I liked rap but haven't been interested for years and Ren brought me back
Defo one of my fave FIR songs. Iv always been a rock/metalcore/metal fan but metal and rap are very closely linked and have always loved rap/hiphop too!
I only listen to Ren now 99% of the time. My fave bands (bar The Big Push) are Sleep Token, Bad Omens and FIR. But I like most genres. 🖤
awesome reaction dude ,grew up listening to both rap/metal ,FIR is one of my favorite bands ,i listen to old school rap ,n.w.a, public enemy ,666 mafia thro to lil wayne ,xxxtentacion, lil uzi vert etc alot of metal fans are into rap ,i used to go to a club that played both ,best night two genres coming together , new sub bro
Oh trust me, I know. Some of my best people are metalheads and can still recite all the rap I like, and vice-versa with me into metal haha. Good music is good music is good music. What I always tell people. Love your style. And appreciate you! Glad you liked what ya heard and gonna settle on in.
I like Ronnie and Ren, not because of how they rap, but because they’re so multi talented and artistic and authentic.
The World Burned. Why is everyone stunned at the ending. Lol. Love your persona and Chi. You kill it Kid. ❤
Lol I know haha. I was just so caught off guard by the visual, loved it though. And thank you, really appreciate you brotha!
Metal head at heart, but I'll listen to just about anything.
i really enjoy this music because it's a great bridge between different communities.
Sure there are other hybrids and some that sound like poor mashups, but songs like this elegantly done artistically are the way to go for solid entertainment.
My amateur prospective.
I've never been a big rap fan, im definitely more of a rocker girl, but i love how Ronnie raps and its made me able to appreciate other rap music a lot more.
God i love your energy dude, fucking awesome reaction. Hope to see you eventually turn into a metal head, IT ALL STARTS SOMEHWERE haha, much love fam
Hahaha hey, I like metal. I like all music, but you are right. Would I label myself one? Nah, but..it does get me going haha. Much love, glad you like the video! Hope you stay around for more!
I've wanted a reacrion channel that basically just vibes along with the music while I listen to it too. This is perfect.
That's me, I'm glad the algorithm brought you here. :) Sub and let's keep hanging!
Absolutely awesome reaction bro best reaction to FIR by far 👊
Woah, that's high praise. :) Thank you for that! I aim to please!
Respect... that ya brought up Ren and Ronnie!!!
Very Very Few artists who does it all!!!!
Imagine if Ren and Ronnie joined forces!!!!!!!!
Ooooo that'd be a dope collab!
Bless the YT algorithm gods today for bringing me here.
It's interesting you talk about "the way they rap" specifically. I personally come from a VERY metal and rock-heavy background, and wasn't introduced to much rap, nor did I seek it out.
However I've also been inundated with musicals and a lot of classical music from being a theatre kid, and I can find a LOT of similarities between the two genres of music I've grown up on.
Ren and Ronnie had plenty of rap experience and inspiration to pull from to create their own unique sounds. They take what works, and make it their own.
And sometimes, that can bring in curious open minds that wish to dive deeper. Thanks to artists like Ren and FIR, I've found a new genre of music that I can dive my ADHD hyperfocus into 🤷🏻♂️😂
Haha bless them for bringing you to me indeed! I'm glad you could find me in my little pocket of TH-cam.
I can appreciate and understand that, the curiosity part of things. And so far, it's been majorly positive and I'm happy to hear that. It's been good reading all of you guys' thoughts on this.
I appreciate your videos man! It's great watching your reactions! I don't like all rap per say but I do enjoy certain people rapping. The rap I do listen to and like I really like. Your videos though!! Awesome man so awesome! Keep it up and thanks for posting.
I really appreciate you and the kind words. :) That means a lot! I'll definitely keep 'em coming. Also, thanks for the answer to the question. :)
I don't know why I just noticed this now...but you have "Crossfire" in the background! When I was a kid that was, I think, the *only* board game I ever wanted. I asked for it every Christmas and birthday for a few years. I never did get it...but might have to get it now as an adult. I know, totally unrelated to your reaction (which was AWESOME by the way...your mouth dropping open was epic), but just had to say thanks for the memories!
Edit: Oh...and I'm old...but I LOVE rap. Ever since the first time I heard a 2 Live Crew bootleg (a dubbed cassette tape)...i needed more. Then came Dr. Dre and the Chronic and I never looked back. Nas Illmatic changed me when I first heard it. I love all kinds of music, but Rap will always be my first love, and top category.
Haha appreciate the attention to detail. And yeah, Crossfire is a CLASSIC! It was a whole journey finding and getting that from Toys R Us years ago. Glad ya respect it! Thanks for the love.
Great taste in music as well. My first love as well, always will be.
Stumbled on to your page, love the vibe. Love the reaction. Got a sub outta me! And yeah this song is straight fire
Ayyee, glad I could earn your sub. :) And for this banger of a classic no less.
Officially my favorite reaction ❤
Aww, thank you. I'm glad you liked it. :)
Loved your reaction!!!! Subscribed.. I just came across "The Unknown tour". So good 😊😊
Glad I earned your sub. :)
Yes agree favorite FIR song by far!!! Deep AF and definitely firrrrre🔥!!! Much love. Subbed*
Glad I earned your sub. :)
Outstanding reaction. New sub! ❤
Well, glad I earned your sub! :) More to come!
Ditto my favs is Ren & FR as their 8:14 unexcusable, courage to be unique tied with exceptional talent. Keep going on. Peace!
Likeminded individuals! And always, see you in the next one! :)
Universally this is everyones favorite FIR song. Ahahahaha love this reaction
Haha is it? That's awesome, it's something about it that to this day he hasn't matched yet. I love it lol. I'm glad you liked the reaction. :)
I love music, rap just happens to be one of the genres I love (been listening since Rapper's Delight, Sugar Hill Gang) Too many artists to list. Ronnie and Ren both are in the top 10 for me (maybe even top 5). So far this is my favorite Falling song (haven't came close to hearing everything they have to offer).
Really love your reactions, great reaction as always. Look forward to more.
Another artist you should check out IMO is Jinjer. More of a NuMetal band (I think that's the genre) but a good intro is Teacher, Teacher the lead singer crosses over to a little rap in that one.
Thank you for those nice words, man. I really appreciate it. :) Glad you'll stick around for more! And great taste in the old school.
I'll have to add those to the list and check 'em out one day!
Do we all like rap??
I’m older mid 50’s. I do like rap and have for quite a while…. But my typical music to listen to is rock, heavy metal…. The groups that pulled me into rap would be older like Biggie stuff like that. Then we get into Eminem and he’s the one that caused me to get into rap even more…. Next rapper I really enjoyed was Tech…yes Tech Nine and I love him!!! Seriously Tech Nine is incredible…. I also love that he crosses into metal a lot. Most people my age don’t care for rap… but I 100% can see the talent it takes to be a good rapper…
This guy and this band have been blowing my mind!! They are so good and I’m not sure the world knows this yet. You don’t see this level of talent often…. And they have it!!
Great reaction!!!
I wouldn't say most people your age don't care, cause remember, I grew up in the hood and all I saw were old heads bobbin' to rap. So I think it'll always be cultural. I could say most people I know who are 50+ don't listen to metal, but you would probably say you know plenty haha. It's all relative. Point being, we like what we like and all music is good music. Glad you recognize that as well.
Yeah, Falling In Reverse is nuts. Can't believe how long it took me to finally catch up to 'em. Agreed, this talent is generational. Appreciate your words!
Bro, I'm late, but I'm someone who doesnt listen to a lot of rap. I love certain artists (like boogie w da hoodie,) but i LOVE the way ronnie raps. I can understand almost every single word, the lyrics are FIRE, just CRAZY good. That's also why I'm a huge fan of twentyonepilots. Same deal. FIR goes HARD.
I am a huge FIR fan, that’s what brought me to you, awesome reaction! You have a new sub, keep the FIR coming❤️
I'm glad you were able to meet me here. :) Loved I earned your sub with a banger! You know I will, and hope to see you in the next comment section!
Interesting that the priest goes up quick and so does the cross... but the Bible falls away untouched by the flames. By the end of the song I was thinking he took a page from Cube, jackin beats and styles... fun song. Into serious metal and punk rock for about 40 years but plenty of discs on Rap-A-Lot and everyone on the W/Coast in the 80's...Spice 1 is sitting next to laptop. Good music is good music. Thanks for the reactions.
To be honest with your quick clip brought me here and your reaction got me interested. I am a rock/ metal head. Now to answer your question yes i like break ya neck from busta rhymes, eminem, lil wayne, and a lot of the older rap (mainly where theres a message i can understand)
Aye, much love. Glad it could swing you over this way and you had a decent time watching! And yeah, I'll always say rap/metal both have a very similar place in the culture. Glad to see that's true more and more.
Lol....❤RR and FIR..TRUE ARTIST.
I’m not a rap fan at all but Ronnie can kill it. He’s so talented in multiple genres and that’s why I like Ronnie.
Aw we gotta expand your horizons to that amazing genre then! Too much talent there to not like it. Glad you liked the video, however!
Subscribed to you man. Great reaction. Ronnie is a monster.
Glad I could earn your sub. :)
Yup this song came out this year. You got to check it live.
Good, I'm not TOO late then haha. And I for sure will. :)
I'm here check your reacting this song, because i see you on short video on youtube, btw great reaction bro and then i love this song so fucking much hell yeah
Aye! Glad you took the time to come check it out, knew you'd like it. Appreciate you. And yeah, this song is still probably my favorite one by them ha.
I'm a Renagade and I saw Falling in Revese last month. I was an NF fan before Ren, (and some Logic). Since then I've enjoyed a lot of rap artists, (Tech N9ne, Kendrick, Eminem Iof course),and a bunch of others that skip along my streaming service more or less randomly. But Ren, Prif and Falling in Reverse are an obsession for me this year. For me, it's lyric's over beat.
I grew up in the 90's on rap and punk rock. So yeah, I just like rap but Falling In Reverse is a perfect band for me. I never listened to them until this song came out and it blew me away so I looked into their other stuff and I was instantly a fan. Dude is seriously incredible.
Yeah I haven't dug enough into this kid's past, but it has to be pain to be this talented.
@@TheBlackSpeedFor sure. His drug addict mom abandoned him. His brother died. Was a heroin addict. Went to prison for a few years. Plenty of substance for an artist there. And he's actually like 40.
Oh shit, I was responding to something else. TH-cam glitched, that's annoying. So to your original comment, and the reply, yeah that is a painful and enriching past. I can tell he has a lot he can and does talk about in his music. That's insane. Always love when people overcome adversity, it's something I painstakingly (almost to a fault) look for in people. It's how I'll know I'll relate to you.
Yo. As you have reacted to the studio version, i suggest reacting to the live one as that is actually mind-blowing. And i like certain people rapping like ronnie and Ren, but not necessarily actual rappers like i have a few favourite emimen songs bc they are classics but im a metal head so its even cooler when its rapping in metal vocals. For example, destructo by hunt the dinosaur is the best example i can think for now.
But i like the philosophical questions as well, and how people think (when they are not being toxic) is really interesting.
Anyhoo, I hope this gives you some ideas and some things to think about as well
Yup, I've been told countless times to react to that one! Believe me, I'm excited to and ready.
Appreciate you answering the question and giving your thoughts to it.
Love your reaction dude!!!!
If you didn't know, Ronnie also has a mixtape out called Watch Me. I can't get enough of the song Brother. Of course, I also like the song he did with Falling in Reverse, also called Brother. I was never really all that into rap or hip hop.. at most I had a couple Eminem and DMX songs that I would listen to every now and then
I for sure did not know that. Thanks for that heads-up! And hey, nothing wrong with that. We like what we like, glad to see you were open minded to the genre. I didn't have Brother on the list; it's now added.
Actually, having a hard time finding it. If you can find the specific link I should listen to, I'll then add it to my 'reaction' list. :)
Amazing song! Told you it wouldn’t disappoint 😉
And you were spot on. :)
Had to come see this after watching your reaction to RONALD. Now I have to do some binge watching, lol!
Hahaha. The FIR reactions are always fun. I'm glad you're going down the archives!
Great words
Love your FIR reactions!!!! I have always listened to some rap, not like heavy but it was def in my mix. From dre, to snoop, pitbull, missy Elliott, Eminem, and even some Limp bizkit and Linkin Park mix.
I have been listening to Ronnie since like 2006 Escape The Fate days , and i just love how unique he is, sort of reminds me of Eminem but has more vocal capabilities. He has that aggressiveness in it that just makes you feel every word he says. The emotions drip in every line, all the pain and anger, and i can relate to that. Its very relatable. It makes you want to ride the train with them ya know lol 😆
Anyway i think you should check out one of his older songs that has multiple genres in it, i think youll be surprised. There is no video but its called Rolling Stone, i suggest using the lyric video lol 😆
I cant wait for the next one! Im on this ride with you my dude!! I love it 😊
Haha enjoy the journey with me, we have a long way to go. And also, love your taste and style in music as well! Definitely with you on the Eminem comparison, you can tell he's definitely inspired by the style.
Great reaction!!
I don't know if it's my favorite of his, but it's up there.
Great reaction - so to answer your question, I am a life long hard rocker. Heavy metal, rock, pop rock, anything rock. A sprinkle of country and a splatter of other. I have not been a follower or fan of rap/hip hop, until Ronnie and Tom McDonald. And I can honestly say that my interest peaked because I liked what they say and how they say it. Most rap that I have liked or followed in the past would be a blend of rock & rap, ie: Linking Park, Limp Bizkit are 2 notables for me. The 90's started to produce that blend and it was attractive. However, I would argue that forms of the art of rap have been around for a LONG while - don't believe me? Check out some of the storytelling songs that came out in the 70's, specifically 'The Devil Went Down To Georgia' by The Charlie Daniels Band. This is country with a slight rock bend, using simple rap rhyming schemes - all before rap was a thing. And Try Blondie (band) from the 80's - 'Rapture'. They was WAY ahead of their time and according to BBC the band & Debbie Harry, (female lead) released 'Rapture' - a rock song that became the first song featuring rapped vocals to top the US charts (at number one). So, I find it interesting how much music I have listened to and collected in my life catalog(s) that seemed to have rapped vocals, but ultimately I need to (mostly) be able to headband to my music ... therefore, rock 😂
Im middle aged now but I did not like rap growing up when I listened to primarily metal industrial and rock. I jumped onto the Dr Dre and Snoop bandwagon and had their CDs but didn't really get much else into Hip Hop or rap until my 30s. Finding artists like Aesop Rock and Immortal Technique but Ive recently gotten into more hip hop and rap like Dax. I just like it to have a message and some depth and I think growing up it was hard to find that in a hobunk town with MTV telling me what to like. Of course as a suburban white kid I also liked Eminem and ICP so I feel like I have teetered across the scene but never really respected it until I grew up and that is why I love FIR for their blend of Rap and Metal. By the way I found your channel just now because of FIR and I am loving your style man. New sub.
I appreciate this thought and your perspective. I always enjoy reading people's journey through a genre and how they found what they liked and didn't like.
I'm glad the algorithm did its job and brought you here! Appreciate earning your sub. We have a good time around here and hope you'll get that same feeling in my older (and newer) videos. :)
Love your reactions to FIR🥰 ronnie radke is amazing 🙌🔥
Shirt game is always outstanding 👌
Haha you know me, I always gotta come correct for you.
To answer your question I used to listen to quite abit of rap when I was a teenager like Eminem, Dre, 2pac fell off it abit when I found metal. Because of Corey Taylor from Slipknot I discovered Tech 9 they did a song called Wither together and blended both genres beautifully and of course falling in reverse do what they do and are amazing at it. For me personally it’s the blend of both.
Great reaction! First time I heard this song I was blown away. Some people dont notice but he doesnt burn the Bible, he was burning the person preaching the message and the people in the church get burned too because of their hypocrisy, at least thats my interpretation.
I like that interpretation and since watching it a few more times, I 100% agree and think that's what he was going for. Good eye.
You brought up a very interesting question. About Ren and Falling in Reverse and whether we like them rapping or like rapping. I have credited Ren and Ronnie Radke to being able to introduce me to rap in a way that allowed me to appreciate it and really hear it for the first time. I'm a 60 plus year old white woman who never could figure out what anybody saw and wrap that also never really listened to it just knew what it was in general. Ren and FIR are both relatively new to me and when they added the wrap portions or style in their music it was surprising to me and for the first time it's like I really heard it. It has allowed me to now listen to other rap music and hear it differently. To me they open the door for me to try to understand better something previously I could not get into.
That's a fair response and I can understand that. The style they present and the way they rap allowed you to see the genre in a new light, thus you may have a different appreciation for it now. And that's fair, nothing wrong with that at all. Appreciate you taking the time to write that out. :)
I like rap for sure as well. I tend to resonate more with ronnies style of rapping and rocking. I am the kind of person to listen to the lyrics of a song more than the beat. I resonate a lot with falling in reverse with the depression and past drug addiction. He describes things perfectly on how it feels. If a song has really good lyrics that resonate with my soul then i will love the song no matter how it sounds. Falling in Reverse is definitely my favorite band of all time. They really are talented. That being said, my favorite genre of music is rock/heavy metal but i really enjoy the rapping added in as well. I am glad you are enjoying this band as well and i really like your reactions because they feel genuine. There are reactors out there that i will just skip through because i can tell it isnt a genuine reaction. Keep it up. Again i will suggest "Ronald" by Falling in Reverse. It just came out. Its an amazing song and the video is really cool ❤
Oh for sure. The fake reactors are a buzzkill on this platform, so I'm glad people are starting to see through it and at least enjoy what they're getting here. What I'm here for! And yep, go comment on it and let me know what you think, did it a while ago! :)
@@TheBlackSpeed okay cool. I hadn't realized you had reacted to it already. I will make sure to check it out and comment on it. 😁

Hahaha someone finally called it out. Points to you.
I fuckin love your reaction I’m a huge fan of FIR & Ronnie. I’ve seen him live 9 times since 2021. He’s amazing. Watch the live version of this song. It’s his big FU to all the haters saying he’s lip syncing.
Oh, I already did! :) Go search my channel and you'll find it. And you are 100% right. I was ENAMORED by the live performance. And you're too kind, I've been seeing you other comments. Thank you for that. :)

I like rap, and I like when there’s something different and unique mixed with it aka Ren and Ronnie
Tbh newer trap and rap mixing with metal core and edm is what brought me more into rap and hiphop. I grew up listening lot of hiphop and rap by proxy but never got into it that much (was a sad numetal kid growing up and while numetal does have hiphop influence in it it only scrapes the surface barely). I think for me it was the exposure by artists that I like who do genre bending that got me accustomed and through that I got deeper into understanding and appreciating the artistry in a whole new level and now it has become big portion of the music I listen to. So yes and no. I started liking rap because how for example Ren and Ronnie do it but they also took part in opening a whole new scene to explore. I'm still more fan of the lyricism than the sound of rap but its quickly blending.
And yes this is my fave FIR track.
Listen 😂 I’m a HUGE rap fan, Ronnie and Ren are AMAZING- I’m a huge Kendrick and Cole fan (they’re in my top 5 easy). But I listen to EVERY genre. In terms of musicians/lyricists/artists in general Ren and Falling in Reverse are some of the best.
Billie Eilish is another one with AMAZING and unique artistry. 👌🏽her videos: Lovely, Hostage, and Bury a Friend are ones I think you’ll enjoy for the artistry alone.
I think the Ronnie fans that like him since 2004 with escape the fate, like the way he raps cause it blew our minds the first time he sprinkled it in his music. i know if a rapper you liked just started putting metal infused into his art, you'd love watching peoples reactions that had no idea.
Absolutely, the shock factor alone, taking aside the talent, would cause me to be engulfed in it lol without a doubt.
Keep doing reactions to your favorite band and not others. Great video.
Haha. I gotta do a little bit of it all. I never know what I'll like until I hear it for the first time, kind of the beauty of these things. But will always do me, first and foremost. Appreciate that reminder!
I think what FIR did with their music is bridge that gap between people who love hip-hop/rap/trap and those that love emo/metal/djent. I enjoy seeing the rap fans' reactions when it switches to rock and vice versa for metal heads. While I don't listen to rap as often as I do rock/metal, seeing artists dipping hard outside of their respective genres is fucking brilliant, and it makes you appreciate the lyricism and musicality of each genre. My opinion on certain music genres over the years definitely has gone from "I don't listen to X" to "if it's good music, put it on".
Great, bro! Thank you for FIR reactions! Please check Nothing More - This is the time (Ballast) and Last Resort by Falling in Reverse
I'll add it to the list and check it out. :) All of 'em! I actually already had Last Resort on the list.
@@TheBlackSpeed thank you! Love your content 🔥
I like both I grew up listening to slipknot linkin park and then dmx, Eve, wu tang, so both worlds I kind find stuff I like in every genre pretty much
My favorite is Popular Monster, but that is just because it hits me different.
It's for sure in my top 5.
