Old metalhead first time react to - Ren - Animal Flow 

I agree with all of that said. Took words right off my ipad😂😂

So with you on this! So there for the positivity! 🥰

I'll definitely be checking it out

I'll definitely be checking it out

Very welcome :) just trying to do my part to help grow the community in a positive way

Thank you Sam, It's always good to get the background ❤ 🐷

@@Earthling-12358 You're welcome !

Oh yeah, and there is a Clockwork Orange reference in Illest of Our Time, too, which would be a great next reaction.

I thought it was something positive to do

​@@oldmanmetaldude Hey Turk, have you been introduced to DiscoDoc yet? Oooh, goody..we RENegades have to suggest you for Rising Tidesday!

@@MissyGail4eva I'll have to check it out

Agreed! Love the reactor channel call out. As Ren loves to say, A Rising Tide Lifts All Ships 💕 And yes, Disco Doc is great! 🪩

You cant forget the Animal Farm references. :)

The idea popped into my head just as I was about to start t recording, and went from there

@oldmanmetaldude it's an excellent idea. You know Ren reacts to reaction videos, right? He totally supports the reaction community. He knows that reactors showing his videos gets him more views, and he pays it forward by shouting out reactors on his live streams. Your idea totally fits in the Renegade mindset. Also, it's just an awesome, caring, and fun thing to do. Kudos to you. I'll be watching more to hear the shoutouts:)

@@annaberkley7575 one of the reasons I did it was because so many people use negativity as a way to increase their fan bases (an example of this is various videos about the new Fallout TV show or a large percentage pro wrestling channels) and since discovering Rens music and it's RENegades and finding that the core ethos of helping your fellow people aligned with my own i had the thought pop into my head as I was seeing up to record that I would look for reacters who were just starting to grow their channels and try and assist in the RENegades finding another worthy cause. Only afterwards did I find out that the guy running that channel had quit making content for months due to bullying and hateful commenters abs was only just getting back until it, so I think it may have been fate sending us where we were needed to show that there is a group that has empathy, patience and support. See, I can ramble in writing as well as verbally haha

@@oldmanmetaldudeI love this!! I never believe in coincidences like that. And a lot of us are trying to push back on so much of the negativity that has sadly become normalized 😿 Positivity and supporting one another can have a powerful ripple effect ❤

@@GarnetJ I'll be happy if it simply gives someone the strength to ignore the hate, much like that this community gave to me. I'm just paying it forward 🤟

I saw it and of course was ignoring the ad but then what did I heard? REN’s voice! I was so excited for him ❤

Yeah, Connor (Ren’s manager) confirmed Mitsubishi did the right thing and both requested permission and paid a licensing fee.

Congrats to Mitsubishi marketing team for seeing such talent 👏

Thanks for posting! I don’t watch much in the way of TV. Congrats to Ren & team, that’s great!

@@tomothywalkerI’m glad to know Ren didn’t shop it around & they contacted him. All I could think of when I heard his song was in a commercial was Crucify Your Culture. 😂💜

Will do!!

I'm not familiar with BemusingBil, will have to check his stuff out

You guys will love each other.❤😊

Yes! 😂😂❤❤

@@TrianglesAndCircles checked out his channel, pretty sure we would get along pretty well. Subbed his channel and left a comment

@@oldmanmetaldude Glad to hear. We help each other in this place.

I definitely plan to

It's on the list, along with every song he has written or performed haha, I am all in on the Ren train

@@oldmanmetaldudePower is a great one to do when you need a lift! I usually recommend that one after someone reacts to something deeply emotional, like Crutch, which is one of my favorites, but it’s a heavy one.

@@GarnetJ both are on the list

😅😂

Even the all time greats do miss (mid 90s iron Maiden, Metallica with St anger and Lulu) and I am prepared for the day when I don't click with a Ren track, but he has a 100 percent strike rate with me so far 🤟🤟

It goes to show how people pick up on different things, as I think I likely talked about the subtle audio details way more than the visuals, and a lot of people have been commemt about at the subtle visuals. That's what I love about the entertainment world in general. I mentioned in a different comment thread, you could watch one of Rens videos a hundred times and find something new every time. 🤟🤟. However, if I paused the video, it's possible that my half asleep brain (I recorded it at 4am) was just oblivious haha

💯💯 I can't believe you're doing these at 4am, that's dedication!!

@@optimistinmyprime you pronounced insomnia wrong haha

🤣Sounds like old man needs a nap

Without a doubt haha

I'm just amazed that even though I wasn't paying attention the the commercial, I recognised Rens voice inertial even though it's being spoken over and I didn't know the song at all!

All of his videos are the kinds of things where you could watch it a hundred times and every time find something new

@@oldmanmetaldude yup mad innit? hehe

It is coming very very soon

Pink Floyd really opened my eyes to what can be achieved with what you don't play, rather than what you do play at times. If your interested in my music, I have a playlist on my channel called Taliesin videos, which some of our songs

Premiere is live now

You are absolutely right about the off beat moments, in addition they can serve as great transition tools between tempos

Looking forward to seeing that one

And missed hundreds that I'll have the chance to see on tertiary viewings. That's a big plus in my book

Haha, they knew what they were signing up for, its the price you pay to be involved in legend

Haha! Ren is definitely a perfectionist. I think Sam and the others from the Money Game 1 video shoot still have PTSD from over 130 takes of that video 😹 But this one was daring on a whole other level due to how many people and props were involved. But they captured the madness brilliantly Ren and Sam have been working on ideas / episodes for a pilot to pitch to Netflix for a series. Ren is excited about developing more as a director.

@@GarnetJ I think Sam and also Luke are likely very passionate about what they do too, and that's why Ren works with them. And we all benefit from the way they work together to bring Ren's vision to life

That attitude was what I wanted to use as a foundation when I started the channel, so it was amazing to find myself in a community that was guided by that ethos

Can we have a new president of the world job that only Ren can fill?

Nothing to stop you starting a second channel. One i an a bit more confident with editing i will be doing TV and Movie reacts on a separate channel

I firmly believe that he still has his masterpiece forming somewhere in his mind to unleash when the time is right

While it won't be my next video, it will be soon

Trust me, I am not going hollywood any time soon haha. I want to tidy up a few areas, such as the audio (audio for video is such a different beast to audio by itself) plus a few little things to hopefully speed things up for editing so that even a 10 minute video isnt taking 2 hours to edit. The main part will remain as unpolished as I am haha

Id likely forget the point in trying to make at the time if I don't do it straight away haha. I usually follow up with an uninterrupted listen once I wrap on the video

😂

One of my better ideas I thought. After the support I have gotten, I wanted to somehow pay it forward and the idea came to me as I was about to start recording the video. I'm on the hunt for the next creator to shout out now. Obviously the main thing I am looking for is a positive attitude ( so that they fit the RENegade community well) and a lower sub count than me ( and preferably under the amount to start monetizing ) as I am hoping it give their channel enough of a boost to keep them invested in doing it. However if I come actoss a channel that has that special something, I'll give it a shout out too, as they are likely to be in a position that they are the ones adding to the community. TL;DR Because I am grateful of the support i've gotten I want to pay it forward

Tbh, the first I ever heard of Plan B was the reference in "Hi Ren". So that could be another good place to go next

@@oldmanmetaldude So, having just re-listened to it for the first time in quite a few months, it's a lot more brutal than I remember and therefore would understand if you never uploaded a reaction. That being said, if nothing else I would still recommend you giving it a listen.

As you said, a Banger!!!! Especially after go read lyrics again...

It was a spur of the moment decision. Probably not a good decision as far as growing the channel, but I enjoyed the song so much I just wanted the video out there

@@oldmanmetaldude L😂L, no worries, Turk! I wasn't complaining..I just know that you're new to the platform (as a reactor, at least) and these are the tidbits that may help your community grow.. at least that's what the super successful reactor channels seem to _always_ be telling us... and I totally get it.. I'm Bipolar with ADHD, my impulse control, not to mention attention to detail, are less than stellar 😜. Just keep on doing you, boo.. whatever you're offering, the community is happily taking.

Not exactly true, but a good example of the stupid humour that pops into my head when trying to do a video at 4am haha

thats the one! I loved the fact that I can now recognize Rens voice even though I had not heard the song at the time

I'll check it out!

Haha no, the studio is in a different structure than the rest of the house. It was the hiss from the cheap mic I was using. I've fixed that issue going forward

It will be coming soon

Cheers

I'm a city boy for the most part. and those are not the mushrooms I go for haha
