Metal Dude*Musician (REACTION) - Falling In Reverse - "Last Resort (Reimagined)" SO SAD & BEAUTIFUL! 

Ronnie's mother abandoned him for drugs. I believe that is one of the reasons he really related to this and why he belts out, "It all started when I lost my MOTHER, NO love for myself and no love for ANOTHER!"... To me the songs represent different stages of grief... Original - anxiety/anger/bitterness. This version is despair/heartache/paranoia.

My bad Bill, I should have warned you. It brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it. ❤ Ronnie is truly a brilliant artist and vocalist. Great reaction. ❤

From someone who suffers from depression this song is very powerful. I can completely agree with you that it's almost like we're watching a mental break down but then the singer finally hits rock bottom and starts building themselves up. Love your reactions. If you want another really powerful song might I recommend A Reason to Fight by Disturbed.

It’s amazing how many reactions I’ve come across of this song where the reactors, and even myself included, weren’t aware of the lyrics and meaning of the original song. So many end up saying, “is that what this song is about?”. The original version was dominated by that chunky, distorted guitar and punchy drums that just wanted to make you move. The lyrics always just went over my head until hearing them in Ronnie’s vocal. He’s completely transformed the song and given us the true meaning that we missed as agitated teenagers.

This makes me cry this one every time and it says how i feel inside

I get goosebumps everytime I hear this song doesnt matter how many times I listen. When he goes into the screaming crying it makes me break down. Ronnie is a true musical genius.

The vocals here, shred my heart.

About as far away from Watch the world burn as you can get. Exactly why Ronnie is my favorite artist of all time. 🔥❤️🤘

I live the power of music to move people like this. Also, the interpretation of a song has taken this from something you didnt like to moving you emotionally. Ronnie is beyond genius. For me, he shares so many similarities to REN. His ability to move you emotionally, his range, lack of genre specificity, his production abilities...... his stunning vocal abilities, his social commentaries through his words....... just amazing. 😊😊

Great reaction. I've never been much into the original, but I love this version. Ronnie carries so much emotions in his voice. This was almost a one take recording and only meant as - I forgot the English name - the first take you record for a general idea where you want to go with it. They liked it, that they kept it. I'm sure Ronnie can relate to the lyrics a lot since he dealt with depression and was left by his mother as a baby. Subbed for more FiR. Greetings from Germany

The fact that he is completely alone makes the lyrics hit even harder. I assume that people thinking of self harm and suicide would have that feeling of loneliness and the world crumbling around them.

It is hard to put into words all of the sadness and confusion of the past that so many of us have hidden deep inside that this song brings into the light. I'm still processing this after the first time I heard it a few weeks ago. I am glad that Ronnie has an outlet to release some of his pain. I pray it doesn't overwhelm him someday. Thank you for your very human reaction.

There’s so much I love about this song and video but I especially love the contrast to watch the world burn - in that song he turned the pain and anger into destruction of everything around him. In this song he’s desperately trying to escape the pain and anger and build himself back up. And the ending also ties back to the band name, so a bit of an Easter egg - all the buildings fall back up into place. It’s a beautiful, moving masterpiece all around. I know this one was rough but I appreciate the insights you share in your reactions - it’s interesting hearing a different perspective :)

As a person who has at one point "attempted" I can say categorically that this video and song and everything about this sums up the experience. Both the point of pain and desperation, and the point of letting go of your life are visualised perfectly in this. Thank you for sharing it with your RU-vid community and spreading awareness of a topic that still seems taboo. Especially men don't vocalise their pain enough. It's ok to not be ok. Also you freakin adorable in the hat ❤️

I don't mean to make light because I know the emotional punch this delivers, especially the first time you hear/see it, but I giggled a bit at the cigarette comment. I used to smoke as well and the most pleasurable ones were the ones that rounded out the end of an experience----the first one in the morning after a good sleep, the last one at night after a long day, the finisher to every meal, and of course.....the other obvious *after*, lol. Like Kyle from Rykerroad says, "Ronnie doesn't just make music. He makes experiences." 100%.

Your tissues have to be ready always, my dear Bill 😁🩷 such a great reaction, this video is amazing, thabk you so much.

I've watched many reactions to this and you are one of the very few who made the connection that this entire song takes place within his mind, that it symbolizes a mental breakdown and then pulling back from the brink

This song reduces me to tears everytime I hear it..Ronnies voice is so insane

Mental health is much more important, than young people can imagine. My own experience (40 now)!!! So it happens, young people getting overrun with such problems they never expected... Schools, we have for what?!! ty Bill for reacting, best wishes from Hannover!

I've always loved this song, and then when Ronnie reimagined it,, the first time I watched I wanted to cry. I really loved he asked for Jacoby's permission and how much Coby loved it ❤️ there's a video of it ❤

What can I say about Ronnie's voice? All I can say about Ronnie is a phenomenon ☄️☄️☄️🔥

I have heard the original many times but never paid so much attention to the lyrics, but ronnie really made us feel how deep the lyrics is💔❤️

I really enjoyed watching your reaction to this. The original came out the same year I lost my father to cancer, I was devastated because my father was my rock & I was pregnant with my daughter. I was in a dark place & this song helped me along with my daughter's father. I was skeptical about listening to Ronnie's version of this song but when I watched the video it hit me really hard & cried. I think everyone goes through depression at least once in their lives so it resonates with most people. I absolutely love his version of this song.

There's a clip that shows ronny showing the lead singer of papa roach the song before it's released its awesome to see

This is the perfect song to listen to after Watch the World Burn. It is the story arch. He destroys everything and is watching what is left fall around him. At the very end of the song he is putting it all back together and you can see at the very end of the song the flames going back to where they started. FIR stories are fantastic. Watch the trilogy next.

Hello and greetings from Germany first of all! :) I'll be honest, there's not much western music that really impresses me anymore, I mainly listen to Japanese rock or metal, but FiR/Ronnie is one of the best and interesting discoveries for me in recent years. You can't pigeonhole him, and the 2 songs you've heard so far show perfectly that he can pull off ANY style to perfection if he wants to. Ronnie is an extraordinary artist who uses music to its fullest to express himself. And quite often he gets under your skin with it. Should you ever want to take a trip to the land of the rising sun to see what this beautiful landscape has to offer, check out the MV for Band-Maid 'Thrill'. I'll just say this much, don't judge the book by its cover. Musically, you might like them if you like classic rock. :) _____________________ 「 _"Our rock never dies ever. Forever!"_ 」 - from *BAND-MAID* - 'Manners' 🎶🕊

Ronnie did such an amazing job with this and though it brought you to tears (which is very understandable), i am happy you reacted to it. ❤

Great reaction Sir🔥🔥🔥. I don't know how anyone can not feel the emotion of this rendition. Looking forward to so many more reactions from you on FIR. Keep it up!!♥

He sings with so much passion. Great reaction ❤️‍🔥🤘🏼

Love it !! Welcome down the rabbit hole of falling in reverse who is signed to epitaph records (got to love bad religion!!) love the Tool shirt btw! Along with this rabbit hole may I recommend NF his lyrics are so intense! He also intertwines past and present and future songs through the lyrics and his videos. It’s a whole rabbit hole.. if u want a taste maybe start with my favorite remember this or if u want really intense therapy session. If u like it get the NF journey list u won’t be disappointed

This song makes me cry every time 😥. Ronnie’s voice is so emotive and beautiful ❤️

I always thought the strings look like stone angels. And the one tear tracking down the cheek just kills me.

Thank you for reacting to falling in reverse again :)

Great reaction! Ronnie is amazing! That raw emotion is so powerful, it breaks my heart every time i hear it! I'm not sure what other FIR you've already done or not, but definitely check out as much as you can. The man is a genius!

One can be that alone in a city of millions. Inner battles often force self isolation, and rest of the world drops away. 😢

what's absolutely wild is this took him half an hour to make in the studio

Yeah........i have no words for this masterpiece.......😪😓

Thanks for another spot-on reaction. I'm quite a bit older than you, and I never really got into Papa Roach, much less this one. Now I'm going to sound like my parents here; it was just noise to me (what I called "angry young man" music). Ronnie's version brings me to tears every time, though. There's also a video on RU-vid of Ronnie showing his reimagined version to Jacoby Shaddix. It was amazing. Ronnie was so nervous. You should check it out... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BnTDlaXxRrE.html

Greetings from Austria Tyrol, I am a 63yr old fan of FIR, you get my sub and like. Welcome in the rabbithole of FIR.

Yes , that’s what’s about, the original helped me when I was in and after I was in the hospital after a suicide attempt my freshman year of high school in 1999/2000, and I had two attempts that year

Great reaction ,I reacted in a similar way when I heard this the first time😁

New subscriber… loved your reaction to this. Ronnie is absolutely amazing. You should see him in concert. The energy is insane and yes his voice is that incredible! You should do the trilogy too Losing my mind, losing my life, and drugs. Also zombified is INCREDIBLE! Enjoy going down the rabbit hole! His music is absolutely addictive. The man is a musical genius

Awesome reaction! Keep the FIR coming❤️

Awesome reaction. You should check out his other reimagined and revamped stuff. You'll love 'I'm not a Vampire' and 'I'm not a Vampire, Revamped'. He's the master of conveying emotion.

a week after this song broke a friend called me and sed it was ok . i had no idea wtf he was talkin about till his step kid called an hour later sayin he killed himself . this brings out all the emotions and then some from that night. god bless u jacoby for writing this song and to ronnie reimagining it

Heard this song so much now but still am crying every single time. Does it ever stop?

I like the applause at the beginning. My hands, thank you 😊 🙏 great reaction as always uncle bill

Can’t wait to see your future reactions. Do all the FIR you can!!!!

in younger years loved papa roach version but with falling in reverse now i actually get the words and meaning,and still tear up everytime i hear it❤

This was insane when i listened to it a while back. The emotions in the vocals of Ronnie make the lyrics hit harder emotionally. Papa roach's version was more of an anthem style song and Ronnie went full emotion into it.

Great reaction and great shirt! This song makes you spiral out in a whole different way...lol

Great reaction fam!

Wonderful reaction and I look forward to seeing more. ✌

The cello players remind me of Delores in her video for zombies with the cranberries except she was gold but it certainly reminds me of her

I love FIR so much 🩷 and I love Queensryche too 🫶🏻🤘🏻

Great reaction m8! best iv seen so far i think. and iv seen most :P love the natural reaction and speaking ur mind. You seem like a good guy. U got a sub :)

New subby here, loved your reaction. Enjoy the FIR rabbit hole. They have become my favorite band since I discovered them last year. ❤🤘

I think Ronnie gives the text the right, worthy framework. The Papa Roach version is too rocky for the seriousness of the lyrics. That's exactly what Ronnie conveys in this song, the pain and the fight with and against evil thoughts. Surely only people who have psychological problems and fight their demons every day can understand this. How often her mental world collapses and threatens to bury her. How many times do you think, “I can’t go on like this” and fight your way out, only to find again and again, “Nothing is okay.” But you keep fighting, every day. They fight with all their strength against being buried under their collapsing world. The sad thing is that too many people lose this battle, ultimately running out of strength and being buried under their collapsing world.

The music fits the lyrics better in my opinion. They are beautifully dark lyrics

Go watch the Drug In Me Is You, then the Drug In Me Is You Reimagined! You’ll be blown away by Ronnie’s ability to re-cover his own song with a completely new level of intense emotion.

I love the original but I'm half in love with Ronnie anyway and this masterpiece is a fave❤❤❤

Make sure to have tissues next time. 👍 🇳🇴

❤❤

100% Trilogy next! ❤

"Reimagined," "Revamped," - have tissues ready. There are others.

Gets me every time I listen to it, since losing my mother three years ago and my best friend my rottie last year I still feel suicidal every day yet I'm supposed to be the strong one everyone thinks I am..I've since got a new rottie rescue and she's helping me through life atm.. this is the first time I've admitted it. This is why I have such an affinity with falling in reverse there lyrics are so relatable.

Check out the video of Ronnie playing the track to Jacoby in his house before it was even mixed

I'm addicted to their music. It's like a sonic drug 😍 Btw would love to see you react on Dark by October Ends

this song already meant a lot too me when papa roach did it....but when ronnie's came out it took on a whole nother meaning.

Lets take you in to a similar but different direction. It's an older and darkly beautiful song. Aesthetic Perfection - All Beauty Destroyed

Soo glad you did this song ❤ and you need to see the live of watch the wold burn will shock you how good he is live❤ keep it up i am here for all👍👍

Soo glad you’re enjoying Falling in Reverse! Check out “Someone Else” by Sullivan King!!!! I promise, as a fellow metal fan, you won’t be disappointed in the slightest. But maybe bring the tissues. 🖤❤️‍🔥😈

Enjoy the ride. New FIR fan. Probably been said but do the original and reimagined versions of I’m not a vampire and drug in me is you. Gotta do both old and new on one vid to see the diff

When I first watched this video I had written 2 times You're fine Ronnie. I didn't know that until I went back and rewatched it again so apparently I was screaming it too. My cognitive abilities are off cuz I had 2 ruptured brain aneurysms in 2021 so sometimes I don't remember things or it could be just really good weed. 😂

PTCBMF Studios CEO is here.

🖤🖤

You really need to do I'm not a Vampire the original and revamped back to back.

No disrespect to Papa Roach who I love but I like this reimagined version better than the original.

You should check out Superman by Tom MacDonald

a song about my condition over the past 9 years...

Now time to first watch the old Falling in Reverse - The Drug In Me Is You which is a good song for the time then The Drug In Me Is Reimagined. Why not do a double reaction? After that, I would do another double header with I am not a Vampire then I amnot a Vampire Revamped.

Have you heard anything from Sleep Token?

Please react the drug in me is reimagined

Loved ur reaction. Can't wait for more. If u want more FIR, then checkout POPULAR MONSTER.❤❤

It's that good bro. I tear up a bit every time I hear this. Glad you covered it.
