Basic White Girl Reacts to Falling In Reverse - The drug in me is you & Reimagine Let me know what you thought of the songs! MY LINKS !! linktr.ee/ellierosekelly
"Most people think metal singers can't sing" Meanwhile, most metal singers: Are classically trained and have an incredible understanding of the fundamentals of singing better than your average pop artist because you need that to do extreme vocals like they do
Even the noise she mentions people say is often the growling or screams in metal and even that is actually much more technical than people realise or they’d just ruin their voice after one album haha
The story behind the original version is that their first album was essentially a hate letter to his former band that booted him when he went to prison for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Since then he’s made amends and grown up drastically, he has a daughter now too and the Reimagined version is the final farewell to his old life. His story has been insanely poetic from the start.
I think it’s a metaphor for Ronny sucking the life out of the people he loves with his drug addiction. The real drug in him is the woman he loves, who has left him, and in her absence real drugs fill the void.
I mean, he WAS actually playing the piano in the music video, but we don't get to hear it because he liked Sean Rooney's arrangement more and that's what we hear
Thank you! I've been saying for years that metal has some of the best singers in the business! (Most of them) scream/growl by choice, not because they can't sing: Corey Taylor, Chester, Phil Anselmo, Tatiana, Phil Bozeman, Chad Gray, etc. They can all sing, as well as scream/growl. Pop singers can sing ... metal singers can do it all!
If you ever need to know what genre this is, it's called Ronnie Radke. Please do the trilogy! And for a lot of fun, definitely do Good Girls Bad Guys, you'll love it.
Nah, it's called Neo-metal (or Nu-metal if youre muricans) As much as Ronnie hates the label, that's what it is. Labels are ment to categories things hence certain criteria classify you regardless of what you think of it. If I'm a professional hockey player then I'm an "athlete"... Doesn't matter if I like the label cuz it *is* what I am... Even if I say "no, I'm not an athlete, I'm NomaD" it doesn't change reality. Mixing metal with different genres (primarily but not limited to rap) is Neo-metal. End of story.
@@UndeadAhead Yea, but if the genre already exists, Fans *didnt* come up with it... someone else did, and they already named it. So you can call it whatever you want, this song wont stop being nu-metal. Sorry, thats not how genres or reality works. END OF STORY
@@vosomnesodi Opera isn't just singing. There's instruments, dancers, etc. Opera may be thought of as only singing, but it's a lot of things other than that. So yes, when I say he's trained in opera, it does apply to his piano skills as well.
As much as I would have liked it to be Ronnie composing and playing the piano but for some insight; it is Sean Rooney. A composer and pianist from Ireland.
I knew you'd like the Reimagined version. It just shows how talented he is. And he's so underrated as a musician, I'm really expecting him to go viral in the next few years. As for his name, it's Ronnie Radke (pronounced Rad-key). To answer your question, he does play piano, as well as guitar and drums. He also writes the music for his songs. Falling In Reverse doesn't stick to one genre, so you'll hear elements of multiple genres in one song. The first two songs of trilogy for example, is more along the lines of pop/electronic/rap/hip hop, while the third song is more heavy. But I should also point out that each song is heavier than the previous song in the trilogy...something not caught by very many people. Lastly, be sure and watch each video to the very end. Some fun facts about these songs: The original song takes place in the same courtroom as the one in Popular Monster. The Reimagined version uses the same notes as the original, just in piano form. This includes the piano solo. Since people already requested the trilogy, I'll list some other songs: Carry On Coming Home Fuck You And All Your Friends Loser Champion (one of their heaviest songs) Brother
Underrated? He's actually quite known. Falling In Reverse is one of the more known bands in the scene. There's a pretty high chance that a random person on the street has indeed heard of them. lol
Being known and being popular aren't the same thing... as an example, Falling In Reverse is better than Linkin Park (no disrespect to LP here), but they don't have the popularity LP had...yet. I fully expect them to blow up in popularity, in fact it wouldn't be wrong to say that's just begun. I'd never heard of them myself until August, and it appears there's A LOT of other people also finding them. And by blow up, I mean huge. With Ronnie's talents, he could be as big as Taylor Swift, Eminem and LP.
@@tristantknight I'm going to heavily disagree with them being better than LP, but that's beside the point. Ronnie and FiR would be as big as T-Swift if the genre they create music for were more mainstream. That being said. When it comes to this genre, the most common names you hear are Falling in Reverse, Bring me the Horizon, Black Veil Brides, Architects, August Burns Red. etc. They're all quite known, and have certainly made a name for themselves.
Girl, I'm right with you on the Guy liner thing. Favorite is Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance go ahead and you tube their performances during the Projekt Revolution Tour. They're at their most beautiful then imo. Second is Jared Leto of 30 Seconds to Mars during the Beautiful Lies album *Especially in the video to the song The Kill from that album.
Songs like this are the best way to get into screaming. Listening to it is about feeling the energy, and emotions are the best introduction to that power
People say it's not ronnie playing piano, but they're mistaken. He didn't ARRANGE the composition on piano, but he did in fact play it. I used to be one of the ronnie haters, until I watched a video about him, and then realized he's actually a really nice genuine guy. But like he said "figures, with every trigger I'm getting richer from offended little Twitter bitches all up in my mentions" so the hate he gets, only gets him bigger lol
I was about to suggest that. A lot of people have reacted to that song, but the singer Floor Jansen is an amazing vocalist and Nightwish is an awesome symphonic metal band.
Falling in Reverse is honestly the perfect band for you to get introduced to rock as a genre... and yes heavy metal singers and rockers... they can sing... like sound of silance is a remake by Disturbed and his voice is amazing! Keep going down this rabbit hole, and it'll expand that mind of yours farther then Tswizzle has for sure...
More songs like this = more followers. And good on you for playing both the original and reimagined versions. So many reactions to this song and only like 3 of them play the original first.
1 I’m late as hell with your reaction obviously but I can’t stop listening to this banger of a song and there other songs all are bangers2 the damn title of your vid got me
Great reaction! When I first heard the original, the lyrics were such a disconnect from the video that it threw me off from the band for a while (true..), but when I heard Popular Monster on the radio last year... well, I've been devoted ever since. Reimagined is the icing on top of the cherry on top of the whipped cream over the best hot fudge sundae.🖖🐢
And Motionless in White - Eternally Yours. Normal version and Motion picture version. Both songs are great but man was I blown away by the motion picture versions.
This video makes me feel like I am showing my favorite bands to my older sister haha. Also I heard the little mention that you went to school for music- I was surprised you had't mentioned it in the other video that I watched of yours (altho maybe you are trying to lean more into the persona of "basic white girl" rather than music nerd lol?
There are many singers that have insane voices when its clean. Alissa from Arch Enemy comes to mind, not there songs but some of the guest appearances like with Kamalot.
Yes he is playing and Ronnie Radke is a real genius! He is just a very smart talent person! Listen to his interviews….. he is extremely talented and insightful!
the stereotype of metal vocalists not being able to sing needs to die. Metal tends to have the absolute most extraordinary singers. Yea, there is alot of Growlers out there too but first of all make no misstake, *thats a skill,* its not easy and takes *alot* of practice and secondly they don't even refere to themselves as singers, but vocalists. Do you wanna hear the most fantastic or angelic voices ever recorded you should go check out: Ghost Love Score - Nightwish (Floor Jansen) Angels - Within Temptation (Sharon den Adel) One More Light - Linkin Park (Chester Bennington R.I.P T_T) Storm the Sorrow - Epica (Simone Simons) Karma - Kamelot (Roy Khan) Amaranthine - Amaranthe (Elize Ryd & Jake E) Decadence of Dignity - Falconeer (Dont know his name) Sound of Silence - Disturbed (David Draiman) Arms of Sorrow - Killswitch Engage (Howard Jones) Awakening - Unleash the Archers (Brittney Slays) obviously Id also put Falling in Reverse and Ronnie up here but that would be rather redundant lol. The list goes on forever. The songs I recommended here are not always the most popular or even their best songs but songs Ive picked specifically for the display of absolutely brilliant vocals. Most metal singers would utterly destroy 99.9% of all the pop singers out there if it came to a sing-off as so very many of them are actually classically trained singers while most pop artists are dragged off of some reality show cuz they have a pretty face thats easy to sell only to be autotuned into success (no not all but a very good chunk of them) unfortunatly we live in a very shallow society and its easier to make a bad voice sound good than to sell an ugly face with a good voice. Autotune in metal is a big nono unless its for stylistic effects... if you used it to cover up that you can't actually sing you'd get *one* live show and the community would devour you and spit up your bones in a ditch for being a poser and you'd be blacklisted in every metalheads mind... forever. Metal is and has basically always been built upon two primary things, emotion and talent.
I'm super stoked that you enjoyed the Reimagined version so much. You should move on to "Coming Home", "Superhero", and "Carry on" by the same band. You will enjoy all 3.. Cheers and smiles pretty girl..
@@starsman77 Depends on what kind of fan you are. Some prefer Fashionably Late, others like the newer sound with Popular Monster, The CD "Coming Home", and the trilogy. I'm a mix bag myself. I like a bit of all of it. I wasn't that big of a fan of Escape the Fate.. It just lacked something for me.
My first exposure to Ronnie Radke was during the ETF days. I loved their music. I didn’t like how things went down with Ronnie being kicked, but I liked Craig singing as well.
I wonder if you Heard "situations" by Escape the fate. It's like the old falling in reverse. The lead singer (ronnie radke) was in that band before and that song is legendary
So many great songs from them!! Good ones to start with to get an idea of the band, newest to a bit older: Teardrops Mantra Doomed (Live at royal albert) -- Seriously mindblowing live performance Sleepwalking Think you'd enjoy all of those, but definitely check out the doomed performance!
Great reaction. Maybe next time just pause it and open the door for your cat. You seemed a bit distracted😅 I'm glad you like my favorite band and suggest the same songs as last time: Carry On, Loser and Bad Girls club. And because you liked the first video: I'm Not A Vampire (the fangs in the second video were a little tribute to this song which wax on the same album as The Drug In Me Is You). And yes, Falling in Reverse has a lot of heavier songs, but why start with those, if that might not be your thing. The lead singer is Ronnie Radke. He is indeed extremely talented. He basically IS the band (writes all the music, makes all decisions regarding videos, outfits, etc.). He plays piano, guitar and drums. And he can sing, rap, growl, scream,... you name it! In the hope of more Falling in Reverse: subscribed! Greetings from Germany!
even if it was 'just noise,' it takes actual talent to scream properly so you don't damage your vocal cords. Check out 'Brother' by FIR. There's also a song called 'Brother' by Ronnie but I personally like the one by FIR better, Although the latter does give a bit of context
May I suggest motionless in white, another life & another life: motion picture collection. they are metal so I don't know if there other music would be your cup of tea, but I enjoy these two versions together. I have yet to see anyone react to them back to back either.
Idk if anyone would watch this but Ronnie Radke used to sing in escape the fate before he went to prison and there’s a song called the day I left the womb, it’s about his relationship with his mother it’s very emotional
Ronnie Radke, the king of genre bending. You gotta love it! He is truly a jack of all trades when it comes to music, and that's just pure talent. Also, he is playing the piano! My two recommendations would be - Beartooth - In Between & Beartooth - I Have A Problem. You most likely won't like them, but their lead singer definitely has a great voice.
might i suggest a couple songs from his previous band , crazy backstory for him and the two bands if you feel like looking into it , ok songs are escape the fate - not good enough for the truth in cliche, and as youre falling down
Also I’ve never met a metal vocalist who also does not have a great singing voice. The vocal coaches explain it a lot. Basically you need to have a really good singing foundation to scream properly. I may be a bit biased but all the vocal coaches I’ve seen say that very thing. On another note, thank you for listening with an open mind and not just being scared away by screams. Also we all wanted to be as cool as Ronnie in the first video. I certainly tried for many years.
I would love to see you react to Nothing More, especially GO TO WAR, BALLAST, JENNY and DON'T STOP. They are pretty sublime in a slightly disturbed way.🖖🐢
