Okay! I'm speechless like Jamel. The first was fun and wild but the second? OMG!! All the theatrics! A Goth masterpiece! The first showed the struggles with addiction and you could see a grandma type and never know she had a problem. The second was such brilliance showing how one can try to hide but the problem will catch up to you in the end! Thanks for the double features Jamel!
This actually won several film prices. The girl is his long time live in girlfriend Paige (former WWE wrestling star). As I said before: Carrie On is a great song, you propably will enjoy, too. Greetings from Germany
Ronnie is an absolute musical genius. I've been a fan of his since Escape the Fate and I am so damn proud of him. Thanks for all the Falling in Reverse reactions. ❤
The look in ur face at the end of the video... priceless!! You was speechless for a few... loved it. Ronnie is so versatile, such a unique artist... one of a kind! Great reaction!
This reaction was great! I felt the same when I first saw there reimagined and revamped songs. Ronnie is so talented..I'm still in awe of him. Ronnie has said in interviews that he would rather spend his money on these videos because they last forever. Falling In Reverse does not disappoint!
I love that even though it's the same song with the same lyrics, both versions have significantly different emotional tones. In the first one, he's pretty much making fun of his addiction, it's like a joke to him, even though it's probably ruining him, he's hiding behind humor and wearing it like a badge of honor. In the second one, he brilliantly captured his true feelings. It's not fun, it's sad, and cold, and dark, and you can keep telling yourself "I'm not this monster, I'm not an addict" it's going to come out someday and it's going to be awful, and it's going to hurt you and the people you love. Incredibly well done masterpiece.
Never heard of them. The first version, though very good, reminded me of 80's hair metal. But what good hair metal could have been. But the newer version was epic! Truly, epic!
I'm so excited you did the double feature. I knew you'd be very impressed. Ronnie has come a long way from where he was as a musician and as a human being. He's one of the good ones. 100%
I didn’t have to wait!! You’re killing it today!! We were all stunned to silence the first time lol and this is why I call him Ronnie “this is a movie” Radke 😂❤️🔥 And that is Jeffrey Star lol I would 1000% see a Falling In Reverse Broadway play. Next has to be Carry On which is beautiful. Alone from 2013 is just him talking his ish and the dynamics are insane. Or Fair Weather Fans off his mixtape. Thank you for your always awesome reactions 🖤
The Vampire teeth in The Drug in Me is Reimagined was a hint to this song. This was filmed at his actual house. The girl is his girlfriend Paige former WWE wrestler. He is self taught pianist. This is a mini movie.. Ronnie is so AMAZING. This video was dedicated to the late Derek Jones his guitar player.
I'm 51 and love this band too. Also got on the bandwagon about 2 years ago. Ronnie is a musical genius. He will be the next Freddy Mercury, Davis Bowie, Michael Jackson
If this was a 2 hour theatre piece full of vampires,everything gothic, and Ronnie starring and singing in it and directed by him I would spend ALOT of money to go see that!
This was an excellent reaction! I just stumbled upon it so I’m going to check out what else you have. To me, this song is about addiction, lyrics like “it’s coursing through my veins “ “chemical daze” “when did I become so cold” etc. To me, the original is the unapologetic, party animal rockstar, having fun. But in denial.. “I’m not an addict”/“I’m not a vampire “. In it he’s not thinking about what impact his addictions/lifestyle has on his life and on others. The revamped to me is a more mature look back at his addiction and how he didn’t think he was a monster but in reality he truly was and Saraya (his irl girlfriend) a representation of how much he hurt those around him. In the video, when she walks in on him, he runs away ashamed. She kills herself in sadness over the monster she discovered he is. But then he turns her (her purity) into the very thing he is ashamed of about himself. When the Lynch mob comes, I think he’s giving up because he acknowledges how much he’s hurt those around him that he loved the most (like his girlfriend that he turned). BUT... I think it’s also a love story and I think it’s to pay homage to Derek Jones (dedication to him at the end of the video) and Derek’s fiancé who both died last year. Derek was his longtime friend and the guitarist for Falling In Reverse. Anyway, that’s just my take on it. I’m so sorry about writing you a book!
I listened to “I’m Not A Vampire” Revamped after we listened to “Popular Monster”. I really liked it too. Their Original version is so different. Good, just different.
Jamel, you have a special ability to make me laugh with one single look into the camera. Great job on these. I’m a huge FIR fan and your approach to reacting to their videos is honestly one of my favorites. Thanks, Jamel.
I’m not a Vampire ReVamped is so far ahead of the original, that’s it’s a completely new and very different experience. The first song is “ok” to me. The second is a massive opus that never fails to give me chills. It highlights all of Ronnie’s singing talent and screaming talent. It blew me away the first time I heard it, I instantly knew I loved it. Ronnie is one massively talented guy.
First song is a deception, for whatever reason. It's the clown hiding his pain with face paint and funny antics, while hinting at the pain with the single painted on tear. The revamped version lets you connect to lyrics with it's frustration, anger, self-loathing and despair. It's why the song's climax leaves so many struggling to find words for a few seconds at the very least.
I like how the curtains look like cigarette packaging...a subtle hint about addiction. Also, the one guy just standing there amid the dancing chaos at the end eating a sandwich...lol I could write a novella on how good the revamped version was though!!!
Dunno If this has been said, but 2 Rocking Grannies have reacted to this MV as well and gave their opinions on it, after that Ronnie did a reaction video of the grannies reacting to his video.
We lost a great today - Don Everly, of the Everly Brothers. I don't think you've reacted to them. If you want to check them out, my favorite is All I Have to Do Is Dream: Everly Brothers-All I Have To Do Is Dream (Live) HQ - RU-vid, and another big hit was Bye Bye Love: The Everly Brothers - Bye Bye Love (Shindig, Nov 18, 1964) - RU-vid . Don's brother Phil passed away in 2014. Don is the one with darker hair. R.I.P. Paul McCartney mentions "Phil and Don" in his song Let 'Em In. (Sorry, for some reason it's converting my links to plain text, so you'll have to look for them.)
ngl no matter how many times I try to convince myself i just really feel like the original is better idk man ik the original isn’t metal spastically but I’m more into metal so ig it’s just me but I like the more thrashed up more upbeat louder version it just hits better for me
could you react to some early panic! at the disco?! (mainly stuff in the album “a fever you can’t sweat out”, a good start would be “lying is the most fun”
He also has a fire solo rap album! Check out the song never the same! It will be titled ronnie radke not falling in reverse. I think it's called watch me
Another awesome Falling in reverse song! Thanks for doing the original. I think it is the best version. Check out Good Girls bad boys, and Bad girls club.
Do you remember when Sebastian Bach from skid row was in the Broadway play doctor jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Can you imagine if Ronnie Radke got the call for something like this? He would be a perfect role and fit perfectly for something like this
@@gregoryosbun4141 love love love brother!!!! I just pray this man digs deeper lol!!! Falling in reverse is solid. Its set like a cemetery headstone. This man is unmatched!!!
If your looking for more recommendations on artist I suggest you listen to Run by Ryan caraveo. Also another great reaction Ronnie goes off the chain with his music 🎶
I’d love to see you react to the Violent Femmes. Anything off the first record is amazing, but Add it Up, Kiss Off, or Blister In The Sun are some of my favorites.
Brother I thoroughly enjoyed all of your falling in reverse reactions. Top tier my man. Not sure if anyone has said it but they did a cover of gangstas paradise.. to say the least its dope as hell. I think you would like it.
