wow thank you so much man! this was a joy to watch
@samtompkinsUK bro your voice is sick!! I can’t wait to check out more….peace!! I’m around if you need a guitarist!! ;). Cheers mate
You're a class act, Sam!
Sam, move to the front of the line!
Your guys live performances like these are the best, even better than anything you've recorded!!! ♥ what a talent!
Nice to see you commenting on reactions too, like Ren does. It seems TH-camrs greatly appreciate the interaction. Great performance, from the both of you!
Yo! There's a video somewhere of Ren and Sam's first meeting. When they were teenagers Ren had to stop busking for the day and he paused to listen to Sam who was busking nearby with no equipment. Sam had a few friends with him to make him look more popular and one was filming him. Ren offered Sam his equipment, including guitar, but Sam can't play. So Ren stayed and played for him, and Sam made more that day than he ever had as Ren let him keep the takings. They have been friends ever since.
I love this story about them because it's so opposite to the industry egos and feuds we hear about all the time.
Found it! Only watched it recently.
12:20 on this one here is Sam telling the story and reacting to the old video of them jamming together for the first time.
th-cam.com/video/4QPXy9IZCW8/w-d-xo.html
Ren was a class act even back then. I know a lot of buskers and there's almost no reason any would leave a spot early. I'm guessing here, but I'm betting Ren wasn't feeling well that day and just wanted to go home. Instead he sees a kid with the voice of an angel getting very little attention and the rest olis history. Total class.
@@ChrisLawton66 I think you're right, and in the video with Sam he is sitting on the floor playing guitar. Giving Sam the stage, but also fits if he was struggling.
Yoooooo
The short I saw yesterday described that same scenario….the two were talking and remembering that day.
That is quite selfless of Ren to help in that way.
Thanks for your comment @MissMeKate just searched up for that and i think i found it... th-cam.com/video/5CLas8s4u2k/w-d-xo.html ... not one I had seen before and what an amazing story... defo worth a watch ... thanks for sharing that 👍👍
As I keep pointing out. it's Ren, he just does whatever he feels like and 99% of the time it he pulls it off.
Sam is a really good buddy of Ren's and they started out busking together at a young age and they're rooting for each other now. respect.
It was pretty awesome
Ren came upon Sam on the way home & Sam had only his voice... so he took him under his wing. Check out Sam's newest song "Lose It All"
@@mckalcm7494 he rolls down the stairs and lands on his feet most times. It’s brave.
@@mckalcm7494 yeah that’s what they said in the short I watched.
Ren and Sam " Blind Eye" an original tune is really great. YO
For sure….I’ve done 2 videos on it!! Yoooo!! :)
Phillips wife Susan here saying Yo. Definitely check out the many different versions of the song Ren and Sam wrote called "Blind Eye". The angry car park attendant version is lots of fun and shows how skilled they are singing on the run. I love many of Sam's songs especially the one he did about his Dad called "Hero".
Hey Susan!! Yo!!
That’s been coming up….that looks like a good one
@@michaelgoyettemusic There is an acoustic version of Hero as well as the official one. They both sound good. The acoustic one is done in a tunnel and Sam's voice sounds amazing in it.
Thanks you! Sam has a great single Loose it All and many others. Also Sam and Ren have a song they wrote together called Blind Eyed, it went viral a few years back. There is a video version and a few live versions of Blind Eyed. Everybody's favorite is one with the angry garage attendant.
Thanks 🙏. I can’t wait
@@michaelgoyettemusic me too, 😆
Money Game 1 and 2 are very deep and VERY good as well.
Thanks for your suggestion!!
Yo! Great reaction~ "Okay we had beatboxing...,Okay, we've uncovered another Ren skill." Said so nonchalant, is one of my favourite things I've seen in a reaction. 😂Tons of other reactors are like OMG he can beat box as well! holy crap!! You were like "Yeah, that's not surprising at all."
My humor is quite dry at times…..thanks for getting it!!
Yooooooo!!!! Cheers
Those two together make be smile. So much talent and joy.
You can hear Ren beatboxing some more in "The Hunger". Thanks for you breakdown and observations. Excellent work. Yo
More really great beatboxing in The Big Push - Sweet Little Lady (live acoustic)
So much talent in one man!
Ok. I wanna see that. Ty
Just looked got sweet little lady. It’s brilliant a new best favourite! 😻
@tesskennedy4959 both the live acoustic version and music video are awesome!
Yo 😊 Great reaction! More Sam and Ren please, they're awesome 🇬🇧
Yooooo! Haha. Thanks
Yeah I’m down for that! :)
Yo...Sam Tomkins" voice is like Budda. Silky smooth, even on those high notes. Fantastic performance all around.
Indeed….and he’s still a teen in this one. Yooo
I love watching your reactions, it’s brings such joy! Your breakdown and knowledge is really good! I’ve learned some new things! Thanks 🌟✨💫 🎼 🎸
Thank you so much!!
Yo! I'm here for some Ren anytime! Thank you 😍for a little something different, try Ren's I Love Music 1 - 3 or his more deep songs Diazepam and Insomnia! They showcase his diverse talents! Nite nite 😊
Yo!!
Ok that sounds interesting!! Ttyl
Definitely diazepam and insomnia
It is so cool watching you break down videos !! You clearly love music and your rapt attention shows it in your expressions and insights! For a real treat look for Tompkins cover of Biebers " Lonely" He does it better than the Biebs! LOL
Hello again!!
Bieber had crazy chops when he was 12!! I don’t know what happened!! Hahaha I’ll check it out. Thanks.
Great reaction!
hes a once a generation talent,check ren and sam blind eyed its an original song the live version is insane
Ok that sounds worth checking out. Ty
effing enjoyed this so much. top musical content.
Glad you effing enjoyed it!! It is so good!!
Yo! Thanks Mike, really enjoy your reactions and commentary.
Yo Thank you!!
Yo - Great reaction and breakdown as always Mike! 👍
Yo thank you 🙏
haha saw the noti for this while working and had to take a breather with ya. Love these two and Ren live with chinchilla
yo.
Yo!!! :)
Yeah I’m anxious to check out some of that too!!
@@michaelgoyettemusic chalk outlines live and how to me live hit some feels.
@@cody2oo they do hit the feels and they are both stunning!!
Nice reaction as always, yo
Yo. Thank you 🙏
Yo Mike, really enjoying your reactions.
Yo!! Thanks 🙏
The Big Push Sweet Little Lady Live I think you would LOVE! another side of Ren and the guys! It’s AMAZING!! Love your reactions!
Ok. Thanks 🙏
enjoyed this a super lot. gold tier musical content. how did I not know them before?
You’ve got a little Sam Tompkins catching up to do….he’s off the hook good!!
Yo! Appreciate you sharing your reaction and knowledge, your videos are always interesting and give a different perspective. Keep keeping it real, peace out!
Yo!! 🙏 thanks you
yo - loving this. Watched this many times and I'm always entertained and moved by the performance. I'm delighted to see you discover the chemistry these two have.
Don't sleep on Sam - he's a very special artist too and its a delight he is signed and getting the spotlight he deserves. As much success as he will have in the future, I'm sure he will always look back at busking with Ren as one of life's real sweet moments, and when Ren is proper well, and if Sams label (universal) allow him, all of us would love to see more of this fantastic chemistry.
Get well Ren. Keep knocking it out of the park Sam..
I’m not sleeping on Sam…..I’ve done a few of his songs and we’ve actually been talking a little. Cheers. More to come and I also wish Ren a speedy recovery.
I can't believe you said 'Prince' at the very second I thought of it.... I'm sure there was a bit of Zappa in there too... Yo !
Great minds!!! Haha. I could see Zappa but since he was on a tele I side with Prince. ;).
@@michaelgoyettemusic Ren seems to have a LOT of people befuddled insofar as comparing or equating him to and with other artists...
I've watched a LOT of 'Hi Ren' reactions and I've yet to see anyone make the Hamlet's *_"To Be or Not To Be..."_* monologue parallels.
Subbed btw 👍
Yo....another good reaction/review
Yo. Thanks 🙏
Hi, it’s the middle of the night here (4:44 a.m. actually) UK too. But saw you in a thumbnail of ‘How to be Me’ talking about Leonard Cohen. Like the detailed guitar talk. So here I am.
Fabulous reaction ❤
Yo! Love your break downs.
Thanks!! YO!!
Brutal!!!
😆 ok.
Love your reactions. From one french Canadian (Acadian/Chiac french but good enough LOL) to another French Canadian! =) Huge Ren fan!
Thanks bud……your handle sounds like a reaction channel too?
Liked and subscribed, yo!
Yooooooo!!! 🙏
Yo, another great reaction. I really enjoy your technical breakdown of what’s happening, not everyone appreciates that side of things. If you want to see more of Ren’s looping/pedal prowess, check out him and Chinchilla doing One Dance/Drunk in Love - it’s another great street performance.
Much love from Scotland 🏴
I appreciate that yo!!!
I really wanna see Ren looping now!! :)
'Blind eye' with angry car park attendant😂
Noted. Thanks 🙏
Yo, liked and subscribed.
Yo….cheers!
Loved watching your face in this reaction!check out An Englishman in New York with the Big Push, Watch out, Icarus.Why my Woman originals.
Hahaha….thanks (I think 🤔) haha
Ive done the 1st 2 suggestions already but Icarus is on the list….I don’t think the last 2 have been brought up before….I’ll check them out.
Cheers mate 😎 👌
Any time!
Yo! 1st visit, no clue who you are , sorry, but great reaction. Not seen this one myself before. Ren has soooo much talent to share. Never fails to impress me!
Yo!!!! You’re here now!! Thanks for watching the whole thing in spite of not knowing who the hell I was!! Cheers mate.
you are one of the few reactors that's commented on the looper. also, oops, I hadn't subscribed, just kept finding you on my daily searches! Yo!
Yeah I do a bit of looping myself (pandemic jamming). Hey all’s well that ends well!! Yo!! :). TY
Sam actually opened for and then played with Justin Bieber in Cali a few months ago. Videos of it are on Sam’s YT. Pretty cool actually!
And Yo 😊
Oh wow that’s cool!! I need to check that out.
Yo!! :)
Watch his band The Big Push doing Roadhouse Blues, amazing 😁
I’ll do it!! ;)
This is my top Ren and Sam collaboration, so I was definitely hoping you were going to react.
Which you did, greatly!
I was thinking about what frankly I found a jaw dropping moment is when Ren comes ic with his full lung voice, it’s a man’s world, you didn’t comment on that moment. Interesting what we each are blown away by, and I appreciate your commentary about his guitarmanship (it’s a word now baby) have you listened to Ren Genisis…
It was a top moment…..I stopped and rolled it back…..I thought I said something about but maybe I just thought it……..it was powerful.
It was a different side of his guitar playing…..I’ll check anything by Ren!!
That’s what I thought as you are coming from your own unique guitarmanship perspective
I watched again and to be fair your face said it all! Which is a uk expression.
BTW I now can’t find your reaction to violets tale
Good morning, loved your review. Nice to see I wasn't the only one up in the middle of the night. So many people will request Blind Eye by Ren and Sam, which they wrote together. Most will request the original, which is live , and I love it . There is another version which is also live done in a parking garage. That one is my personal favorite. It is called Ren and Sam Tomkins Blind Eye ft. Angry car park guy .I think you would so enjoy it .
Everyone is steering me that way!! Cool
Love your work bro! Yo! New subber here
Thanks so much….and YO!!
Dude I love you 🎉
Thanks 🙏…..you’re swell too!! ;)
There are so many tracks of Rens and Ren plus another, and the Big Push' of course, one I would recommend is Ren and Liv Sangster busking in Brighton...it's fab and of course there is still the French guy 😉
Ok that’s a new name……cool. More to check out!!!
yo. . . Thanks for the education. Love it. Peace.
Thank you my friend…..yooo
“Yo!” Okay, I’m old and remember that being a thing The Police did. 🤣
Yo!!! I’m old and I forgot what I said that you’re responding to…..can you refresh please?
@@michaelgoyettemusic You said said to post Yo! if we watched to the end. 🤣
Yo! Loving the Ren actions. ✌️
Yo!!!! ;)
Thank you 🙏
3 weeks late but yo!! And subscribed
Better late than never!!! Cheers yo!!
Yo! You should check out Ren's band The Big Push. On their TH-cam page they have a bunch of awesome covers they've done live on the street. They cover Black Sabbath's "War Pigs" an amazing cover of Bob Marley's "I Shot The Sheriff/Road to Zion and Hip Hop" they also do "Paint It Black" by the Rolling Stones and Ren plays bass. This guy is nucking futs lol
Tha only one I haven’t reacted to already is Paint It Black and it’s definitely coming…..War Pigs was the first reaction I ever did!!
@@michaelgoyettemusic ohhhh boy I'm about to go check them out!
“We’ve unlocked another Ren talent” lmaoooo
Hahaha. Put it on the list!! :)
I learn so much from your reactions...thank you! I'm not a big Tom McDonald fan, but I see you reacted to his newest release, so I'll check it out with you...and probably learn something. 😉
I came within an inch of calling that video “Tom Mac hater reacts”
It was better than other stuff I’ve heard from him.
Thanks for watching!
@@michaelgoyettemusic Ok, that comment made me snort my coffee. 😂
Ren is NOT a rabbit hole.. he is the entrance to a rabbit warren, Sam Tompkins, Chinchilla, The Big Push and lately he has found The Wolf amongst others. Thx for analysing this duet as it opened my eyes a little more to Rens guitar skills (and live production)
Yo! 😂On The Big push channel their is a few songs with a lady called Liv sangster with Ren on electric guitar just amazing. The Big Push is a band which Ren is a member of.
Sam is I think 6 years younger so he looks up to Ren like a older brother. Sam has some really good songs my favourite is my brother.
Yo!!!
Another new character?! Ok I wanna see!!
Yo!!!!! Bro !!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️
Thanks for staying til the end
Cheers
Yo, you should check out their song Blind eyed, any version. They are all fun and different. I loved this! Oh, yo, and Ren is Jazz at heart. Remember the Django Reinhardt reference in The Hunger?
Yo!!
Careful with the spoilers….I haven’t heard The Hunger yet!! I will do both soon. Thanks.
Like the way you said it shouldn't work but it does its the way he blends tracks and plays with it that is so good.
Right?!
you should check out their song what went wrong 1 and 2 it’s a bit more hip hoppy but shows the most different side of Sam i have seen but the blind eyed live featuring angry car park officer is a great also! yooooo!
I’m very curious about “angry car park officer”
@@michaelgoyettemusic hahah you’ll have to check it out it’ shows their skill no matter the situation
i was watching queen live aid and came accross you haha,,,
great vid , no fake reaction rubbish here all natural and real.. your awsome bro! ,you got a new sub.. and yooooo 😎🎵
Yoooooooooooooooooo nice!!!
Love watching these, have only just come across you this morning so haven’t seen any other videos yet but I presume you’ve watched The Big Push songs? 🖤
Yes the Big Push was the very first act I reacted to 6 months ago. ❤️
I did several since as well.
@@michaelgoyettemusic yeah I have watched them since posting 🤣🖤
I never get tired of watching this performance and reactions to it. Look out for Sam performing with Justin Beeber too.
I’ve heard….I’m intrigued…..:)
@@michaelgoyettemusic Apparently JB is a fan of their music too!
Yo and subscribed
YO!! 🙏 Thank you 🙏
Sam has no formal voice training! He’s a natural
If that’s the case he could probably improve with one of those celebrity voice coaches…..a friend of mine went to Gwen Stefanie’s coach and was way better after one lesson….I have no idea what Sam would sound like even better but he should definitely explore that avenue
Always yo!
❤️
Yo. Subbed.
Yo yo yo!!!! ;) thank you 🙏
The red one is a digitek digital whammy and the beige one is a boss tuner =p the black one in the back middle is his amp sim/fx/interface/di etc. also should be noted that the black expression pedal isn't always a whammy as you see at the end
Oh I thought he was running into a small guitar amp….that would explain the high end harshness on the dirty sound….cutting everything above 8-10k would make it a lot smoother….but maybe he likes the friction?
@@michaelgoyettemusic I think he has compression/eq/gates per patch on the amp sims. It's especially clear to me when he changes patches after starting the looper. It's a genius setup that didn't exist 10 years ago in pedal form. Ppl don't realize he has over a decade of performance experience and is a total pro.
@@ryanzeigler9763 I use a HelixLT for a lot of gigs….they can do a lot!!!
@@ryanzeigler9763 the change in sound could be explained by simply adding the distortion…..it might have been a Fuzz effect in retrospect
Yo! 🇨🇦 For more Ren and Sam Tompkins, check out their video “Improvising Around Stevie Wonder”.
Yo! Thanks for the suggestion !
❤️ YO
YOOOOO
Yo, got to try either the live version of Blind Eyed or the Angry Car Park Attendant version 😂
Yo
Thanks for the suggestions!! That’s a popular one!
Love the reaction! Is that a djembe drum in the back? I'm a percussionist and music education major, those drums have quickly become some of my favorite to play
Thank you!
It is indeed. Good catch! There’s a lady from Africa who makes em and brings them to my home town to sell in the summer. It sounds great but very loud!!
Do you teach at a school?
@@michaelgoyettemusic Not as of yet, I am currently still in college, so I just go around and help teach whoever needs it. Soon we are flying out some guest artist from Ghana to teach us the traditional methods and culture to playing this instrument. Much respect man, and yes, they are quite loud haha.
Yo, Thanks Michael.
Yoooooo. :)
DAYUM!
✌️
Love yourself Ft Sam Tompkins (Live in Trondheim . Check this out
Thank you.
Sam sang in Norway supporting Justin Beiber last year (I think?). There is a video on YT about it. (Search Sam Tompkins Justin Beiber).
Ok sounds interesting
@@michaelgoyettemusic It's definitely worth checking out!!
Yo-yo 🎵
YOOOOO!
REN’s guitar at the end reminds me of all the Jesus & Mary Chain shows I went to over the decades. (Yo!) 💜
Nice yo!!!
Yo all the way
Yoooooo!!!
Yo. There are some very cool Ren and Chinchilla collabs out there as well. I have been kinda stuck on their busking version of Marvin Gaye's Sexual Healing, I have a feeling your reaction would be special. Subbed
I’ve seen some thumbnails but have resisted watching!! I will definitely check them out! Yoooo!!!
This is a short little video Sam put out about how he met Ren and what he did for him. Might make you love Ren a bit more. th-cam.com/video/5CLas8s4u2k/w-d-xo.html
Thank you 🙏
YO from 🇺🇸
Yooooooo!! What state?
In one of Ren's interviews he talks about the mics. The blank one in front of Ren is better for rapping and talking. The silver one in front of Sam is the good one for singing. He says the models but I don't remember what they were. Yo. sub'd.
Ok. I see. Thanks.
Yooooooo! ;)
Yo from IL.
Yo back from Canada!!!
Yo yo yo 🌺
Thank yo!!!!! 🤓
@@michaelgoyettemusic yo welcome!😆
Yo! ❤
Yooooo
Search; JUSTIN BIEBER INVITED ME ON STAGE.This is Sam Tompkins with Justin Bieber
Will do! Thanks
How do you spell Yo, I think that's right.
I even subscribed, this Ren rabbit hole is worth every bit of it and I promise when I get done with it, I will check out some of your other reactions
You haven't by any chance reacted to any Candy Dulfer with Uclo Bed on guitar.
Yo…you nailed it!!! ;)
Thank you 🙏
I certainly have not…..are those bands or songs?
@@michaelgoyettemusic
Candy Dulfer is a tremendous Sax player, played with Prince for a while. She has had multiple European tours where she puts together some excellent musicians. One of them she almost always has is the guitarist Uclo Bed and they have a great chemistry, the blending of sax and guitar is something we don't hear enough of.
I bring it up because I would love to hear your opinion of Uclo. This is a video from a concert in 2009 from her Candy Store tour. The name of this is Don't Go
th-cam.com/video/j_5ccXi2RCs/w-d-xo.html
Yo Mike! just subscribed because your reactions are just different than the others on YT. You gotta check out Ren’s song The Tale of Jenny and Screech (FULL). It’s a trilogy. The story is bananas, but I think you’d really dig the guitar playing, as well as the improvisation of music without actually playing his guitar at times.
Yo!!! I will definitely get to that.
Just saw this... a Live Show, Great quality, titled "The Big Push, 9th SEPT 2022, Brighton Dome" ... ya may wanna check it out!
I’ve seen the thumbnail. I can’t figure out if I should pick a song or do the whole thing.
To see one more side of Ren, check out his song Chalk Outlines with Chinchilla
It’s on the list. Thanks.
Pls check out the Big Push Bongo Bong and An Englishman in New York.
Englishman I did last week and Bongo Bong is coming!! It’s a popular request! Thanks so much
Yo! 👍
Yooooo!! :)
Yo!!!
Yoooo
Love how Ren uses dissonance without a care in the world!
That’s the secret!
Yo 😂❤
Yooooo
Yo Yo!
Yooooo!
Yo...Check out Sam & Ren walking on the moon.
TY!!! I love it!!
Like the Police tune? Mmmmmmmm
@@michaelgoyettemusic Yes sir, I love how Ren ends the song. Also Ren and Sam Blind eye live version is great as well.
Yo. Love your reactions. I've only discovered Ren this last 2 months. Is there anything he can't do? Also he is performing in my home town. so even more annoying I've not seen him live. Don't think he will be able to busk in Brighton anymore when he gets back from Canada. He is too big! Probably take over the whole beach like Fat Boy Slim did a few years ago!
Yo!!!! I need to catch up with him while he’s in my country!! :)
Is Fatboy Slim from Brighton too?
@@michaelgoyettemusic yes Fat boy slim lives in Brighton too!
