Old metalhead reacts to Ren - Back on 74 Message In A Bottle retake 

The song left a smile on your face, couldn’t ask for more! Knew you’d love it! And yeah I knew you’d get to it eventually but patience isn’t my strong suit. 🤣 stoked for you to get to my others! Thanks my dude! You made my day! 🤘

Ren is a musical Swiss army knife 👌 Great reaction thanks

Listening to this track is like sliding into a warm bath!

LOL, "Fake it til you make it" Turk! Ren's talent level is ridiculous and unfair. But I'm glad he is creating and doing what he does. I wonder if he knows how rare his talent is or if thinks any of us peons could do what he does if we just tried (especially without having a decade of health issues). "Ren you GD MF" LOL again!!! Rare form today Turk!

He's putting out a new song tomorrow 😁

The evolution of a Ren reactor. I wasn't expecting that; Ididn't know he could do that; Of course he can.

I love Ren's guitar solos. My favorite is the one in the acoustic version of Murderer, which I look forward to you seeing eventually. 😊

Loving watching you go through the same cycle each time getting floored by his talent, but lad, you don't need to be so hard on yourself all the time. You're self reflective enough not to be half as bad as you sometimes suggest you are. You're a really watchable guy and it's a joy watching you feel so inspired by how Ren approaches tracks.

No words that are adequate. ❤❤❤ Ren is like a river ..... wide, long and deep with countless currents and eddies.

Ren has said that the Police and Sting are a big influence. Reggae and rock were his staple early diet so it makes sense the Police hit a certain button with him.

Totally had the same reaction when he came in with the Sting vocals, dude! I feel like we are seeing Ren level up with his most recent videos. I'm seeing a new maturity with songs like Fred Again Mashup, Mackay and this one. Absolutely love the vibe of this song and your reaction, as always, was fantastic. You have cemented yourself as one of my favorite Ren reactors!

delay delay delay ... "Ren, you GD MF" ....hahaha.. I laughed out loud. I knew you were stunned by it. It's hard to come up with the perfect response, but I think you might have done it.

The Charismatic Voice did an interview with REN about 6 months ago that I think you’ll enjoy. They discuss making videos, recording and mixing busking, writing songs. He’s also done interviews on RU-vid with Justin Hawkins, Chris Liepe, Knox Hill, Black Pegasus and Rosalie Elliot.

This was another brilliant ReNtake. Just Ren doing Ren things. Crazy runs and harmonies, filthy bars to remind us that he is also still a cheeky boi, and that voice that’s perfect for Sting/The Police songs. Ren has music in his soul and pours so much soul into everything he does. We’re just lucky to witness it 🐰🕳️

Highly recommend checking out Crutch by Ren ft. BiBi. It was done about 7 years ago, prior to his diagnosis and in the thick of his illness. Especially poignant now in relation to his Chapters series.

Great reaction thank you! I love seeing people genuinely impressed by Ren's versatility. And Hightop Reacts is a really nice one for you to give a shoutout, one of my favourite new Ren reactors :)

Excellent reaction. Feeling like we all do - what can't he do? ❤

Ren is able to keep impressing the audience, inside each song, and as one listens to his other songs.

Ren has more facets than a diamond. The only thing that's the same every time is my delight at all the new surprises 😊❤ great reaction

OMMD, another great reaction . Thank you for doing this song, one of my many favourites of Rens. I just wish they were longer! I doubt you are faking it until you make it. I am sure you are very talented. Thank you again and love the fact you aupport the community. Its also great to see your subs go up.... Lets get you to 5000 asap!! RENegades....Please subscribe if you haven't...OMMD deserves it. He has supported so many other people including Ren! ❤❤❤

The more ya get to know Ren... the more he proves ya Wrong! Lol

😂😂 The Ren effect... never predictable, and I love it! This song is smooth like the smoothest smoothie!

I knew Ren was a lyrical, musical and theatrical swiss army knife but when this live one-shot was released, I was blown away once again by his creativity and talent. Wonderful to follow your journey into the RENiverse. Tomorrow Ren releases a new song called ‘Troubles,’ which I hope you will check out and help promote ASAP. Sounds like it will be an autobiographical piece very near to his heart and the RENegades are chomping at the bit for it. 💔❤️‍🩹❤️

This is one of my favorites! His backup singers and the bass player are awesome!! ❤❤❤

Hey nice shoutout, Hightop Reacts is awesome

I just love your Ren reactions. I feel the same way about his talent, when you cursed I had tears in my eyes cause I felt your pain. He is definitely more than we deserve. Thank you so much. This is great channel.

Love hightop reacts. Great shout out. Back on 74/message in a bottle is one of my favorites. I think it’s a good introduction song, even though I started with Hi Ren. I think seeing this first might be better and open people up to the idea of Hi Ren. I dunno, I’m just spitballing here

The original of Message In a Bottle was recorded in C# minor Ren sang this D minor a semitone higher than Sting so impressive

At this point... it's almost annoying just how good he is! Lol

I was so looking forward to watching you react to this one. This is one of my favorite Ren videos. The whole thing is beautiful from start to finish. Your face when his voice came in on Message in a Bottle brightened my day!

Gilmore is my fav rock guitarist

The pure look of joy in your face said it all ✨ Great reaction as always Turk

Sorry if this is duplicated ,i keep pressing send just as the video ends! Blond Anyway I loved the first pause where you turn to camera deadpan and pause ....we all know you're thinking "Ren ,you jammy bastard!" Great to see you really enjoying this track,that set me up for the day! Peace and Love From Valentine in Cornwall"surfs up dude"UK ❤

Finally😂 Joking…. I’m glad you got to my all time fav song that Ren does! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🎸🤘🏻🤘🏻

My thoughts and feelings exactly like yours when Message In A Bottle started. Beautiful reaction Dude! I laugh out loud watching your facial expressions when Ren surprises you! Thanks Bro!

Enjoy your reactions!

This is currently one of my Ren favourites. Nice to see you appreciate it.💕👍🦇

“ i’m gonna sit here and sulk about his talent” is pretty much how I feel every single time I listen to a new track of his 😂

Mate, I loved that ,the enjoyment on your face is brilliant I liked it when you first paused it and turned face to camera deadpan...pausing before you speak ....we all know thats the bit that got you thinking "Ren ,you jammy bastard" Thats really set me up for the day Happy days From Valentine in sunny Cornwall "surfs up dude" UK Peace n Love ❤

This whole song was just pure joy, beautiful harmonies, fun, jazzy, sexy and suave as hell. Such a great ensemble too, and Ren just seems to be able to pull amazing performances from everyone he works with. Don't worry about not predicting anything, he is a total chameleon.

Thank you for another video! It's somehow so cosy listening to you talking about different types of guitars, their sound and looks and all of that. And I'm not a musician, but your love to the subject just draws me in. Keep going, man! You are great!

As someone, who actually is Willie Nellison high, I am also of the opinion, that sometimes the most important notes are those, that you don´t play. Cheers

“ oh, it’s just Ren doing Ren things” I wish I could remember which reactor I first heard say that, but it’s always true

Hi Turk - g'day from outback Australia 🦘🦘

I am wondering how the frack he associated the Police's riff with the Jungle's dance song? It seems that he immediately recognizes some patterns when listening to a tune.

lmfao. Expect the unexpected... Loved watching you watch it. Thank you!

Great reaction mate. Thank you. 👍 if anyone has missed it be sure to check out his “chapters” dropped in the last week. He’s telling his story and it’s just compelling listening. Like his music, makes us feel. Gotta love this Ren guy!

You should listen to What King of Women is This ! From the Big Push , with REN

Love watching you discover Ren! You never, never know what to expect with Ren. Every new track is like opening a gift ❤

Profanity is necessary when the talent is that good!! I enjoy HighTop as well! Life is more fun with surprises like Ren ❤ Thanks for the reaction 😄

After watching a few reactions to Ren I subscribed. I see that you see the caliber of this young man's talent. Our older generation seems smitten with him for good reason. Haven't been this excited about an artist in a good long while. 🤘

In his older stuff: - Crutch - Penitence - Hold on - Ocean - Humble

Very 60s vibes - love it - I just need all of his music - so obsessed

Love your reactions

Great reaction. Your natural warmth translates beautifully. Ren was pretty good too 😊❤️😊

Man, I love this retake. Comfortably numb is one of my faves (and sorrow). Pffft, sulking and faking it 😂🤣Congrats on nearly 5k subscribers!!

Great reaction, I've got a few more Ren reactions of yours to catch up with. Loving that metal heads like me are appreciating the genius that is our Ren Boi!

Loved your reaction you made me smile when he started message in a bottle. He is so so good. Thankyou for reviewing Ren and sharing your joy along with us all

I'll I can say is thank you Ren for allowing us to share your music for free.

Haha you had exactly the same reaction to me when he just brought in vocals for message in a bottle. REN YOU MF. For me it was because I wanted more message in a bottle.

A rising tide lifts all ships..❤❤❤...much love..

Watch the live acoustic MURDERER, by Ren. The original video is great but in this one, he did an amazing guitar solo . There has not been a single song or video of Ren's, that I don't LOVE.

Remember john five has been a tele guy his whole career

Lol love your reactions, you say what anyone with a musical talent says, just great, thank you 🙏🦉❤️🐊👍

Ren's like a box of chocolates. “Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get.” -Forrest Gump. You just know it's gonna be good.

He's got something for everyone 🤯

Super reaction to this freakin beauty from the Master & Co ❤

I live for the moments that the reaction community starts cussing at Ren!😮😅😅 ( Especially musicians)!😂❤

Loved the David Gilmour/Comfortably Numb comparison - I have often said Ren is this generation's equivalent of Pink Floyd ( or later generation's version of Queen, Prince, Bowie), That level of talent, but that Gilmour solo is really the perfect comparison. Great reaction!

Delightfully gorgeous song And a pretty nice reaction 😂

LOL yup, Ren got a share of EVERYONE ELSE'S talent, haha. But you just can't be mad at him 😂

Great reaction! Just watching you go through ALL of the emotions. Lol

This band knows how to bring the energy and make you feel alive🔥 Btw Nick Thurl Mavromatis has done it again! His new song is a masterpiece. React to it now!

Ren smile, you smile, i smile. Thx.

You should see his Collab with Orlean, song called "Jessica" if you want to see how he creates tracks and beats

Very talented group of artist...thanks great reaction

REN’s releasing a new song tonight. I think it is going to be big.👀💕👍🦇

I kept seeing the smile, love it!!!! You're absolutely 💯 right too, Ren delivers art that can never be called boring! I asked in another one of your reactions, I would never steal your ideas, but I'm going to pay it forward, and shout out the smaller sub reaction community like you do. I think that it's a brilliant idea to support each other, and your channel will be my first shout out!!! You're a badass, keep being you don't ever change! 🖤😈🤘

Ren likes the Telecaster sound :) Both instruments are his

I fucking love this vibe, this track gives me pure joy. I highly recommend you watch the Back On 74 - Jungle video because it's a really mind blowing one shot piece of art. Sorry I'm late man, despite being on Aussie time I've been too obsessed with aurora hunting since seeing the CME on the 8th lining up with a coronal hole. Turns out I was right to get prepped

🤣🤣🤣His talent is amazing!! ❤❤

if I never saw your head again I would so miss your eyebrows!😜

Love the journey so far and I think I started watching Hightop right around the same time I started with you. But definitely enjoy the shout outs because you never know.

I love this one so much!! Shout out to Jim Root.🤘

I absolutely love your channel... keep up the good work. I love hearing a real dude do honest reactions. Thanks!!!

Omg I loved this reaction!!! Best one to this song that I've seen.

Smooth as a lounge lizard.

You're a bit harsh on yourself dude. We really enjoy your stuff brother 👍❤️

Have you done the Fred Again Mashup?

Ya just want to keep him in your pocket, don't you?!😂 He is such a joyful person. After being held back for so many years, he can hardly contain himself. New song tomorrow. Troubles. Vera Hall sample Trouble so hard for the hook. Going to be great!

Ohhh this will be a good one, I'm positive you will love this.

Ren is impossible not to love! I think you fall in love with him no matter what gender or age you are! X

Don’t be so hard on yourself fella. Really enjoy your content!

Keep up the great work....love your reactions...music should make you smile.....

I was waiting for you to react to this one. 👍🏻👍🏻

I'm glad you got to this one. Just another one showing you can't put ren in a box.

Good stuff aye 😊

Great reaction, killed me off😂

Great reaction man.
