Rap Videographer REACTS to Falling In Reverse Last Resort (Reimagined) - FIRST TIME REACTIONS 

Dont forget to lightly tap the 👍🏽 button! This is the third song/video ive seen from them...they do not disappoint! I was soooo impressed by the visuals on this but i was also super impressed by this cover...the choices he took when singing this classic was amazing!!!

Angst vs desperation. Ronnie’s interpretation is so incredibly powerful & the lyrics hit much harder at 41 than when I was 17.

This is filmed at Universal Studios , and after that , Jensen did his magic , as always ! Him and Ronnie are an awesome team 🔥Jensen totally understands Ronnies visions according to FIRS videos , and it shows everytime , their videos are always top notch , and so relatable to the song / lyrics ! Jensen Noen started working with Ronnie on Popular Monster , and have made all FIRS videos since then !

This young man comes very close to Chester Bennington. As with Chester, you can feel the pain in his scream. LP should get him and work with him. He sings like an angel and screams like the devil. Just great 🖤🎧 Just like him, you feel the pain because he transports it authentically. Just great, can't get enough. I think he would be a worthy successor to Chester and could revive LP. Nobody can replace Chester, but this young man is damn close. He gave me goosebumps like only Chester could. A Masterpiece ❤

can't wait for "voices in my head" the visuals (for me) are crazy!

Your reaction channel is low-key underrated. You have genuine reactions and hope this channel grows.

He has 2 other song that he has reimaged like this one, I recommend watching the original then the new one. The Drug in me is you and I am not a vampire. All 4 are great, but the reimaged versions are my favorites. Its a unique talent to recreate a song in a completely different way.

You looked exactly like I felt on hearing/seeing this for the first time.I really enjoyed your analysis of the videography.

I want to recommend a double reaction of I'm not a vampire and I'm not a vampire revamped by falling in reverse! The revamped video is amazing!

Voices in my head is gonna blow you away. LOVE your reactions.

This version feels like an angry desperate cry for help compared to the original which is still iconic. It’s amazing how the lyrics sang a different way can hit you differently 😢❤.

Finally, someone noticed the "Watch the World Burn" connection!!

Ronnie doesn't make music, he makes experiences. Found your channel from BP. New fellow here.

At 9:01… favorite shot. Background focus of the building crumbing, and the smooth shift to the foreground statue focus as the camera floats. Heat! There’s also a wallpaper on the background wall. I don’t know if that wallpaper is specific to White House, but it feels familiar in a historical way. Dope breakdown as per Joe!

Yup im glad Black Pegasus brought you in and turned you on to these guys. You're one of those people that you not just feel the music, you feel the aesthetic of the entire thing, the videos mood (somber in this case) becomes you're mood. Ronnie's interpretation of this song is really hard to call a cover, its literally a brand new song. The only 2 things that survived was the lyrics, and the iconic guitar riff, which was originally composed on piano anyway. This is just a pure work of art and your analysis of it was raw and incredibly thought provoking.

OMG… I absolutely LOVE your reactions!! I think I just had a religious experience, experiencing your religious experience 😳😋😁

The first time I heard this cover, I cried. My hubby and I took our 8-year-old granddaughter to see FIR last month for her birthday. They are absolutely phenomenal!

his voice is angelic and demonic at the same time it literally gives you the best chills and every video is like the best movie ever.

Some props for @seanrooneymusic for his piano and orchestral compositions for this mind blowing MASTERPIECE!! ❤😮💥 Great reaction!! Love watching your expressions and listening to your reaction from a videographer's POV. ❤

B. Pegasus sent me. So happy I checked you out because I love how animated your reactions are my friend. Your appreciation for the art really is fun the watch! Cheers 🤘

Falling in Reverse is so good as you know this version of Papa Roach's Last Resort is a spotlight on Johnnie's vocal takent kudos on every crew and tech member that created this masterpiece of music and visuals.

He even reimagined two of his own songs, The Drug in Me is You and I'm Not a Vampire. I would suggest doing the original then the reimagined and maybe even doing it in one video.

Your music videographer input is what makes you unique and you actually contribute to the “reaction world” so many are jumping into, with some unfortunately just using the platform to promote themselves, but you add needed perspective and your emotions are real plus you always give the creators kudos. I appreciate you and your reactions!

The BEST Reaction I’ve seen to this incredible reimagined song.

So nobody is ginna talk about how Joe's brain just glitched and froze for like 4 solid seconds in the beginning of the reaction? 😂

He fixed the world in this song. This is a Ronnie Radke redemption arc and we are all lucky to be a part of it.

I love how all the crumbling buildings "fell" in reverse at the end. In Watch The World Burn, he displays his anger with the world and destroys it. In Last Resort, he realizes his destruction has now left him isolated in a broken and crumbling world. His past destruction has only led to despair and loneliness. Giving in to our anger/rage and/or want for revenge never leads to anything good. You will fall deeper into the hole of negative emotions and find yourself in a colourless world(this video) of despair and depression. You get so deep that you start to think that self deleting is the only option you have left, your "last resort". But it isn't. Make your cries heard, don't stay silent. There are those out there who will hear your calls, and will help you, those who will tell you things will be fine. Those who will put your fall, in reverse, by helping you pick up all the broken pieces, then make sense of them so your world can fall back into place. Like Maynard said in Tool's song Schism(a bit different context, but still works here), "I know the pieces fit, cause I watched them tumble down." Communication is key. Only you know the blueprint to your life and where the broken pieces fit. Don't go at it alone. Allow others in to help you with the heavy lifting. No one is capable of shouldering the weight of the world alone. Asking for help isn't a sign of weakness. True strength comes in numbers 💪

You were right it's the sequel to Watch The World Burn. I knew this would blow you away. Loved your reaction. Much ❤️

Nah bro, don’t apologize for how you break stuff down! It’s different, and I genuinely enjoy it! Some of your inputs are stuff that are outside of my realm, but I understand how you explain it all. Keep it up 😎🤘🔥

I loved watching the video of Ronnie playing his idea for Jacoby. It was cool to see!

🤘🏻😎🤘🏻 I highly recommend watching his videos (back to back) of his I'M NOT A VAMPIRE..then..I'M NOT A VAMPIRE REVAMPED. The redone version is like a movie so get your popcorn ready😂❤

I was mesmerized the first time I reacted to this. The Drug in Me is You Reimagined was the same way...I never HEARD the lyrics until Ronnie sang them... amazing reaction my guy!

At the 6:00 mark it looks as though the edge of your computer is the light source. Your so good at framing, you even do it with the videos you react with. Love the reaction. As always, I learned something.

I'm not a graphic artist at all, i write software, but i love your love of the craft! I feel the same way about software - it's great to see a student and appreciator of the at of the craft.

You get this video and performance with $$$$. Someone thankfully see's Ronnie's brilliance and isn't afraid to spend money on showing it off. Great reaction video ... really enjoyed!

Ronnie is the next best musical chameleon next to Ren. Highly suggest two song reaction of The Drug in Me is You and The Drug in Me is Reimagined! You will be amazed.

This reminds me so much of when Johnny Cash covered NINs song Hurt when Trent Reznor said when he wrote HURT he never felt it was his song but didnt know who to give it to and knew it had to be recorded so he did and when Johnny Cash covered it he said it was always ment to be and always will be Johnnys song and 3 days later Johnny left us!!! Last resort was Jacobys break out song but this song was, in my opinion waiting 23 years for Ronnie, PAPPA ROACH my second concert ever in Modesto CA 4 days before i went to boot camp my buddy grew up with one of the band members so we went back stage after the concert and that was my last best memory as a kid but this song was made for Ronnie for sure!!!

Amazing reaction, lovely to see you being sucked in to the song like you were and enjoying all the emotions. I’m glad I saw your reaction on the other channel and I’m glad you decided to continue to react to FIR on your own channel

12:04 - You're exactly right. This is the second half he hinted at. The rage and pain that brought it all down, then the grief of sitting in the ashes, and then finally the cleansing storm to wash the world anew as you stand fists clenched and triumphant tears streaming down your face because the world could not break you and you no longer fear the tempest because... "God is in the rain." - Evey Hammond, V for Vendetta

Thank you for wearing your heart on your sleeve for us. The emotion and passion that pours out of you is beautiful so thank you for being so vulnerable with us.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who experienced this song this way

I love just about every reactor, but really enjoy reactors who bring insight into various aspects of the song whether it's vocal techniques, or in your case the work that was put in to get these shots and producing the video. Love learning new things on how everything comes together and you're very knowledgeable on the behind the scenes work. Great reaction.

There is a short on RU-vid showing Ronnie standing at the corner on the roof of a high-rise building with a giant green screen behind him and the FPV pilot is flying the drone around him

One of my favorite tracks! Voices In My Head & Zombified soon!🤟🔥

Absolutely beautiful reaction, your facial expressions show that you FELT that one and it made me so happy that you noticed the 'statue' crying. My daughters loved Papa Roach so I heard the original way too much and didn't much care for it, but this reimagining is so powerful and connects with the struggles I have from time to time.

This version hit me right in my soul🖤 when my world was so bleak . Ty ronnie Your reaction is great an so real ty

I had the same emotional reaction when watching this, his voice and the cinematography just makes you FEEL the pain of what this song speaks about. His interpretation is so surreal, he just gets it! I literally have watched this video dozens of times and I tear up every dang time.

Every single time I see this I get stuck in a Ronnie Trance and literally have to shake myself out of it! ❤

I know you reacted to this 11 months ago but, I have been with you on your Twenty One Pilots journey (amazing) and I've started going through your reactions. My favorite band are TOP then FIR and Ren. Great reaction. Ill be watching them all! Live your insight into the shooting if the videos. Have a great day!

This video is a sequel to Watch the World Burn. Love how a lot of these videos are related to other ones.

I'm a 52-year-old man and this song brought me to tears. It's so moving, it gave me chills to my core. So happy you took the time to react to this.

I mean, damn. The visuals of the world crumbling down, as he's singing about life coming apart. He's all alone. As he gets angry and desperate, the world kind of gets pulled back together, but it doesn't last. Perfect representation.

I wouldnt know half the artists I hnow if it wasnt for reaction videos. I cant remember what reactor it was but it was watch the world burn, ive been addicted to FIR ever since. This was a masterpiece.

Bud, your take on things earned a sub here. You appreciate the visuals on a completely different level. And you're right. Watch the World Burn had the earth burning down. This was the reverse.

Fantastic as always. Never doubt, there are plenty of us who love you breaking down the things we would otherwise never know or truly appreciate!!

This is the first song i have heard from them that i have really liked. I know the basic rules of composition but i never thought to apply it to videos. Thank you for pointing it out.

Watch the world burn ended with the earth burning. This reverses the burning world to not burning

he unburned the world in this video

I appreciate your passion for the cinematography in the video

wtwb yes there you go watch them b2b it's really something special for a total stranger to be so raw that your soule is moved to tears in your eyes. SPECIAL

Also check out the little bit at 7:54 somebody has studied how light gets warped through the flaws in old glass panels and actually simulated (I assume it's rendered) that distortion to fade Ronnie out of the shot completely as the focal distance pulls back from him to the glass. That's some insane attention to detail for 1 second of video.

As you being a videographer its nice hearing you explain how it was done or your thoughts on it

Found you on BP’s channel. Really enjoy your content and insights. Plus love FIR. Saw them in concert with the family early this year.

Loved your reaction. Instant sub. You’ll love their song “I’m not a vampire reimagined.” That camera work is sickkkk

Completely mind blowing. Loved your reaction. Literally the most beautiful reaction I’ve ever seen. You’re the man, Joe E Sparks 🤗

I AM SO HAPPY YOU ARE WATCHING THIS!

Im not a vampire revamped next. So beautifully shot and magically sung. Great insights man, will subscribe for more.

Can't wait to see you do Im not a vampire and I'm not a vampire revamped. Another masterpiece!

Your reaction was EVERYTHING!!! 😭 you're adorable!!

I did not know that about blue/green screen and skin tones, that is super interesting! I hope you continue down the FIR rabbit hole. There are dozens of reactors I have watched and I love the visual/videographer side you bring. It gives me a whole other level of appreciation for these videos. I think there is something to be said about the level of excitement and geeking out coming from someone who does this day in day out. Ronnie said something about the majority of music bores him because when you know everything about a subject it is hard to be truly impressed by it.

they don't skimp out on the videos, always an adventure.

I really enjoyed your resction/video breakdown... learning from it Tnx JoeE 🙏 👍🔥

This was INCREDIBLE!! I have watched many reactions to this but yours... holy cow!! Your reaction made me feel ALL the emotion after watching it when it was first released. I had not ever heard (or don't recall) the Papa Roach one until literally minutes before this version. My 32 year old son told me I needed to... this was an iconic song for him in his teen years.

This is incredibly interesting, I have zero issues with your reactions. Thank you

Sacramento, let’s go! Papa Roach! 🖤❤️‍🔥

First of all, the emotion....SAME Secondly, it's taking the anger and making it vulnerable in the best way. This speaks to my elder millennial heart on soooo many levels ❤

As a music video professional, I think you'll LOVE Sabaton and their videos for Christmas Truce and 1916! 😉🤘

LOVING your visual breakdowns!

You should do "Voices in My Head" or "I'm Not A Vampire - Revamped" next. I love Voices in My Head and the video is basically a John Wick Movie, but I'm Not A Vampire - Revamped (which is a cover of an older song of theirs called "I'm Not A Vampire") is a beautiful song and video similar to this version of Last Resort. You'll love both for different reasons.

I love how there is a point when you just shut up and settled in... Until that damn statue came on. Haha

I'm loving your breakdowns!!! I've seen a bunch of reactions break down his voice, I love this take!!! I'd love to see you react to more, the trilogy, drug in me is reimagined, zombified, voices in my head, revamped. So many videos I think you'd enjoy breaking down.

Ronnie is creating masterpiece after masterpiece 🫶

love it, both your reaction and I can watch this video over and over again its that mind blowing. Radke and Ren have mastered the opposite ends of the budget for the videos.

❤❤❤❤ if you can get to it ever falling in reverse had a reimagined version of their older song drug in me is you / drug in me is reimagined. Also another one with his lovely lady and partner , I'm not a vampire and I'm not a vampire revamped. I think you will enjoy those masterpieces as well

Another great reaction. Big up on "Space Invaders," that was some intergalactic planetary work.

Watch the world burn ended with the planet being engulfed in flames, this one ended by reversing the damage that had been done. I don't know, but I feel like between the two, it shows Ronnie's tough and angry side, and his vulnerable and traumatized side. The crumbling world...symbolic of his life that had once felt like it was collapsing, but he turned it around and rebuilt everything that had been broken and stolen from him...Idk if that's how he meant it, but that's how I interpret it, lol.

Incredible reaction to an incredible cover

Love your reactions and input man!

JoeE my brother, I love your reactions, because like you I am a videographer and editor and have been for more years than I like to admit,lol that said I really love your passion for the work that goes into making these masterpieces. Your reaction is same as mine just jaw dropping real reaction to this art we are experiencing. Please if I can request something can you make the audio on the videos you are watching louder, its coming through kinda low on my end. Peace and respect from NYC

Hi Joe E, his vocals are crazy. The video is magnificent, Universal...Peace☝️🖼☝️🎇🤓

I love watching you react. Your excitement, passion & appreciation is so entertaining & informative. I knew you were gonna love this one but then again who hasn't!? Thanks Joe E you have a great day.

Hey Joe I watched the Black Pegasus reaction of you reacting to watch the world burn and I had to subscribe, you can just tell you're passionate about the artistry and music in general and it's a shock you dont have well over 100K subscribers by now. Keep them coming I'm looking forward to more and I'll have to look back at others you've done!

I am absolutely LOVING your Falling in Reverse reactions. Keep them coming 💜

The original was for us when we were teens and this cover perfectly captures mens mental health in todays society

I can't wait to see your reaction to "Voices in my head"

Great reaction! Love your breakdown both with the visuals and the music. Cheers

Another great reaction, thankyou I really enjoy seeing your reaction and hearing your commentary about the creation of the video. Very fun to watch..

I'm loving your FIR journey 😊 great to see your take, as a videographer, as well as your enjoyment of the music! Visually AND musically, any FIR video is gonna blow your mind ❤

New subscriber really enjoy your reactions as well as your breakdown of the industry tricks. Keep it up! there is a lot of falling in reverse to catch up on.

I loooove your reaction and analysis man.
