WE REACT TO FALLING IN REVERSE: RAISED BY WOLVES - THEIR FIRST SONG!? 

The amount of escape the fate jabs in this song are unreal and shows how good he is at writing lyrics. It's worth checking out the history and beef between him and escape the fate that used to be. They even had a bury the hatchet tour together years later.

This songs about Escape the Fate. The line" this war is mine" is a reference to the escape the fate song this war is ours which was the first album they releases after dropping ronnie

This song is really soooo deep. Diss to ETF, yes, but I think through the chorus he’s really speaking to his best friend at the time, who he started ETF with, Max Green. “I will never spill my blood for you, you have let me down one too many times” The fight Ronnie went to that eventually led to his prison sentence was a fight in defense of Max Green. “One day they’ll see, it was always me”. Ronnie is who made ETF what it was. “Some way some how we’ve fallen out, caught in between my enemies “. Speaking to the break between Max and Ronnie. “I’ve learned that my fate is something I can’t escape “. Self explanatory. “This War is Mine”. First single off ETF’s first album after Ronnie was This War is Ours. Derek Jones, RIP, could growl like a MF’r. There are several lyrics/songs on that album that speak directly to Max Green (Caught Like A Fly anyone? That was HARSH). You could tell how much not only getting kicked out of ETF hurt Ronnie, but more specifically how hurt and betrayed he felt by his best friend, who he considered a brother. I always wondered, when Max Green did bass on the Drug In Me Is Gold Tour, playing all the songs on this album, how hard that was for him to do those songs night after night. I’m so glad they’re friends again, and by the way, Max’s band Violent New Breed is worth a listen!

5:48 yes, at their live shows Tyler (the bass player) helps Ronnie out with screams and even singing at some points to give Ronnie a little bit of a break. Tyler is so talented and his vocals are amazing. In the studio version, it’s all Ronnie in multiple layers and recordings but live you’ll see them go back and forth kinda like how INK does their screams/cleans. About ALL members having microphones - yes most of them have one that will sing along when they can 😊

Love love love this album! Please don't shy away from songs without videos on this album, or you'll miss great songs like Pick Up the Phone and Rolling Stone.

This an absolute heavy metal diss track and it is a great way to wake up! Full of energy, makes you feel badass, and absolutely melts your face bro!

Pick up the phone from this album was great, The Westerner as well, ugh also Sink or Swim, don't mess with Ouija boards ... this is just a fucking good album.

Great reaction. The screaming you hear on album recordings/official videos is all Ronnie. He just can't do it all alone live (even Ronnie has to breath sometimes) , so some band members take over part of the lyrics. At the moment Tyler Burgess, the bassist, does a lot of the backup vocals. Ronnie himself said, that Tyler could easily be a lead singer. This song is a break-up song with Escape The Fate. You should listen to the lyrics again, because it's impossible to catch all the little hints and jabs the first time. Can't wait for the next Falling in Reverse. You should watch the Mario Cart Race (it's just a short skit) and Game Over in one video, just to hear more of the fun side of Ronnie. Greetings from Germany

God I remember it being the summer of 2011 and I was scrolling iTunes free songs of the week on my iPhone 3GS and this song came up. When I listened to it, that pretty much shaped what kind of music I listened to till present. It was such an amazing, influential sound when I was 15 and it still slaps hard today!

Love it! Derek Jones was the growler from the video, as Ronnie definitely utilizes his band for breaks from vocals/layering when live! On the studio recordings, it’s all Ronnie for vocal performance… in current day, he has a studio in his home that he records everything on! “I have learned that my Fate is something I can’t Escape” is one of many indirect disses from the song, let alone the whole album. Great reaction once again! If you want more from the album, Good Girls Bad Guys is the only video left to react to, but the rest of the album is amazing! Tragic Magic, Pick up the Phone, and Don’t Mess with Ouija Boards would be great lyric videos! And then Rolling Stone and Born to Lead are bangers to jump in to as well!

As others have said, there are so many digs at ETF in this one. It's so good, and yes they're friends now and about to tour again. Ronnie had always had great back up vocals and screams. Rip Derek!

He is so good to write his lyrics, it's so much about escape the fate in there but packed nicely in

As a side note quite a few of the members did back up vocals the drummer Ryan did, Derek their rhythm guitarist also did vocals Tyler their bass guitarist, christian rhythm guitarist max lead guitarist and Wes bass guitar and Zack rhythm guitar all did back up vocals during live performances

This song is the first time I really appreciated the harsh vocals. What better way to let someone who hurt you know exactly how you feel 😂😂😂❤️

This is one of my favorite songs and videos. "I have learned that my fate is something I can't escape" 🤘💜

I felt like I was in danger at INK during their show 😂 The crowd surfers were non stop. Well worth the 8 hour wait see them live for the first time! You need to react to Game Over by FIR 😄

All I can say is holy fuck!!! I didn't realize that FiR were this heavy even back in the day! Now I gotta listen to the whole discography, thanks guys....lol Great reaction as always though, keep up the great work!

I had always loved listening to Ronnie from when he was in Escape the Fate and now his own band and his music has only gotten better from production standpoint to lyrics! He is a genius and the amount of escape the fate disses in here is just insane! He literally to this day gives no fucks about anything or anyones feelings, he’s gonna do what Ronnie wants to do!! Respect!

I was probably 12 when I bought this album. Knew NOTHING of them. Saw the cd and decided to listen to the title track before I bought it. Instantly hooked me. I'm 24 now and they are still my fave band.

Great reaction guys! I'm starting to think Eric is a Hip-Hop/Metal head. Over the course of his FIR journey, he gets so hyped during the screaming and breakdowns now vs. in the beginning. "LET'S GO!!" Love it!

Ronnie absolutely shit on ETF with this song 🤣 and the line "one day they'll see it was always me" so true cos look what Ronnie had achieved 👏

Definitivamente coincido con Ronnie cuando dice que son los mejores reaccionando, es genial verlos escuchar Falling in reverse en distintas de sus eras, sigan así chicos🌟

Yayyy ! Hi guys just know that your "Ronnie" shirt is hanging out in Lyon, France and that I'm laughing my a** off wearing it ! ♥

if I remember correctly this was shot at one of his first shows out of jail. My guy probably had so much anger built up, betrayal etc. People always comment on his “lack of stage presence” in this but just imagine just getting out of jail and being just PISSED off. His facial expressions say everything you needa know.

The screamer in the video was Derek Jones, he was the guitar and did screams for the band, sadly he passed away.

They all sang live this year. Derek is growling here and I don't remember seeing him growl in others and he is great here.

So glad you guys did this song! Missed you doing FIR! There's so many great songs from Ronnie over the decades, can't wait for you to check out more!

This honestly is my favorite song. Every time I listen to it, I just can’t deny it. LOVE IT!

FINALLY !! This is such an epic banger !.Ronnie deff started where ETF left him on this one . This ( in my opinion ) is a total follow up song , that easily could have been on Dying Is Ur Latest fashion / No sympathy for the dead ! The lyrics " This War is Mine " is a direct diss too ETF That came out with an album in 2008 ( after Ronnie was kicked out , and was replaced by Craig Mabbit ) called " This War Is Ours ! Also he perfectly reminds them " One Day U see , It was always me " , and he was obviously right , since FIR quickly became bigger than ETF ever was , and still is ! The whole song is basically a neverending diss to ETF ! Ty for another great reaction to this band , Cheers ! Hope U will dig into / and react to the old ETF at some point , Their first album and Ep they made with Ronnie is awesome !

You guys didn't pick up on the best part of this - Escape the Fate had been clowning him in the media for YEARS while in prison. Their first album without him had "This War is Ours". Day 1 being free and back on the scene, Ronnie goes FULL JOHN WICK on those guys. "This is the end of you, this is where I draw the line, and I won't lose. THIS WAR IS MINE!" In 2011 the scene went NUTS the night this leaked. You could practically hear ETF hiding under the table listening to this reckoning, rage bomb headed their way. Track 2 - Tragic Magic went a step further and just banished Craig Mabbitt to the shadow realm. All in a matter of minutes. Such a great microcosm of the focused intensity they still bring today.

i didn’t even realize how much of this song i still remembered ❤❤❤ was obsessed with ronnie

So when he says this war is mine, I think it's taking a shot at a song that Escape the Fate with Craig Mabbit released titled this war is ours.

Ronnie teased a new drop and I'm just waiting anxiously🥰

“This War is Mine” during the breakdown. Escape the Fate came out with a song called This War is Ours while Ronnie was in prison.

Guys Please do Rolling stone and or Fuck the rest by Falling in Reverse. You'll love it I just know! been waiting so long for this reaction tho!

This song is definitely on my Playlist! Thanks guys for this reaction 🖤

Oh God I’m so excited but I have to take my kids to school before I can watch!!!!

Ronnie Said in a stream that he wroth the whole album while on prison with just hitting on a desk and is legs for the beat everyrhing Elsa was in is head when he got out he recorded It 🤟 great one again guys

I freaking love falling in reverse. RONNIE IS FLAWFLESS. I LOVE U GUYS CHANNEL TOP NOTCH

Check out game over by them. You said that whatever genre they do, they do it exceptionally well. This is the perfect example

Eric, I love how you are the hip hop head but you obviously dig the metal break downs too!!!

Really good song, especially to start their first album. Love it. Thanks guys !

Yes! I've been waiting on this one for a while, I knew you guys would love it! Yall need to do MUCH more Ronnie and Falling in Reverse!

Great reaction as usual guys hope you react to rolling stone, it's over when it's over, the westerner, coming home, pick up the phone and I don't mind all by falling in reverse all are awesome songs they did an awesome live concert during covid called falling in reverse live from the unknown on RU-vid hope you guys check it out even if it's just you two and not a reaction it was amazing

First time hearing that song and it was awesome! Ronnie just came out the gate on that album checking every box !!!

Absolutely please do all of this album! 😊

I absolutely love the screams and growls in this one! Thanks! You guys are the best

Haircut is on point!

PLEASE!!!! Go through the FIR Fashionably Late album full of bangers

OMG Kyle's face during the video. As he was getting into it cracked me up 🤣😂. I have this album it's awesome, you definitely need to check out. Why do good girls like bad guy's. The video is hilarious.

This was a break up album aimed at Escape the Fate. When he says “It was always me”, he means He is Escape the Fate”. He also says, “You’re what I started, now disregarded”. Referring to Escape the Fate. I think he wrote this whole album while he was still in prison. Escape the Fate went down hill a little after he was replaced.

Great reaction his Bass player Tyler does a lot of the back up screams I saw them live in 2020 and Tyler was amazing in Drugs and Popular Monster

This song is awesome but ronnie singing it now it just amazing its 🔥🔥🔥🔥

This was AWESOME!! It isn't something I would "pick" to listen to probably but, since watching reactions, and especially the ones y'all have done, FIR has really grown on me and become something that I get excited about watching y'all react to. All that being said, I have kind of lost the excitement over music from my younger days (late 70's/early 80's teenager here) but it's been coming back recently. Long story... sort of. My son and I were talking about the Christian rock band question on your community page the other day. He was trying to 'remind' me who RED was and referenced a song they did a cover of "Ordinary World". He said it was a Duran Duran song so he was SURE I would know it if I heard it. Well, he pulled up the DD version... I was listening... no bells going off at all. He said, "Wait for the chorus, Mom, you'll remember it". The chorus comes and goes... the song finishes... I am like "Nope, no bells, don't recall ever hearing it" So that led to a discussion of what I did listen to when they were popular... NOT Duran Duran!!! I listened to RUSH, Aerosmith, Boston, Eagles, Foreigner, Cheap Trick, Sammy Hagar, Heart, REO Speedwagon, Journey, Joan Jett, CCR... had cassette tapes from all of them!! LOL THAT made me miss those days so much that I am now looking up some of my old favorites so I can add them to my playlist. Teen years were all rock... early 20's was a combination of rock and a little country... really got into country in late 20's early 30's, even learned how to Two-Step and went to Billy Bob's of Texas (famous place here in Fort Worth, even in some movies) several times and saw great people/bands performing. THEN I went through the adult contemporary stage for a while, then got heavily into Christian contemporary and rock just after 'the turn of the century' (love using that!) and later was into everything by Josh Groban (obsessed with his voice!!!), have EVERY album he has released and even saw him in concert 5 times starting in 2011. Classic rock has always been there for me when I feel nostalgic. RAP was never on my list other than DC Talk when I got into Christian music, lol. Then my son got me to watch NF a few times and I saw a few reactions and, 2 years later, my music appreciation has exploded into something I never would/could have imagined. You guys have been a big part of that!! So, for that, I say THANK YOU!!

Wow I had no idea this song was that hard 😳

State Theatre in St Petersburg, Florida. My buddy was at this show and in the video

Rolling Stone is one you two will really like! There’s no video but it’s a bad ass song. Also you NEED to check out Ronnie Radke - Who can stop us. React to them both PLEASE?!?

You guys needed to go straight into tragic magic like the album does after this. Especially if you wanna hear him go at ETF

If you love this, you'll love Tragic Magic off the same album.

I didnt even start to watch but this was the first song that I listen from them and my entrance to metal and actually music in general xD and the first time was a nightcore version. Lez gouu!

Do sink or swim. Live show favorite. Saw them a few times during this era and it was incredible lol.

Oh man, the amount of jabs at ETF 😂 This shit went hard when it came out in 2011. Also, this entire first album (which Ronnie wrote in prison) has more specific songs that are a big fuck you to previous band members and the new singer of ETF at that time. Eg. Caught Like A Fly (about Max Green) & Tragic Magic (about Craig Mabbitt). There are a lot of other references on the album but they’re the most obvious ones from what I can remember. It would be AWESOME if you reacted to Tragic Magic. It’s pretty funny 😅

Amazing reaction as always thank you guys for helping me through my work day! Anyway a cool suggestion for you to check out is the batmetal trilogy! It's a bit older and maybe you've seen it but it still goes hard af and I know yall will laugh and headbang! 😁

THE SHIRT RETURNS

This is for me ,the best song Ronnie has ever wrote , I listen to it every day

ahhhh the mix and the beef....this was the start of his genius comeback!

I'm so glad Ronnie and Craig squashed the beef, now we have best of both worlds with escape the fate and falling in reverse. should react to This War is Ours by Escape The Fate

This is still 1 of his best songs

Fashionably late and the drug in me is you are some of my favorites

Omg you guys should listen to the song It's over when it's over, I remember when I first heard the song I actually heard it through an AMV to my favorite show (RWBY) and it's one of my favorite falling in reverse songs. You guys should also check out hanging on!

Derek did back up vocals for growls in this song

New FIR fan but man i love the older stuff so so much too.

You guys should react to Hollywood Undead. Perhaps starting with the song called CHAOS. :D

This album is basically a dis to escape the fate lol

Yay, love this song!

You have to listen one of their song live, expecially Losing my Life The bassist is amazing

Please do old Ronnie Radke from escape the fate “Not good enough for truth in cliche”

Awww yaaayy! Less than A week before im seeing FIR! maybe Ronnie will recognized my shirt from you guys lol (Hopeful)

Definitely need to react to Escape The Fate Not good enough for truth in cliche. Back from when Ronnie was in the band!

Fun fact Derek their rhythm guitarist the one who died did the growling throughout the song with Ronnie he's pretty good too

do i hear a full album reaction?😁

Thank you! 😎🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🔥🔥😏🥰☕️☕️

Still one of my faves 🖤

Can you please add to your FIR Playlist your reaction to "brother"? You forgot this one and I'm having a hard time finding it when I want to hear all your FIR reactions... thank you! 😊

You guys need to do Born to Lead and Guillotine lV!!

There is no video for it but you should react to "straight to hell" by FIR. Js

I recommend tragic magic its the second song on the same album with more ETF digs 😅

Great reaction can you please react to Motionless in White Werewolf music video that dropped on Halloween you'll love it. Lots of paying homage to Michael Jackson and Thriller

I’m hoping to go see them in April. I’ve got to talk someone into going with me lol. My husband might have to suck it up and go with even though it is not at all his cup o tea 😂

Guys gotta react to sink or swim by falling in reverse lol, it’s off that album too

Watching all FIR reactions of yours. When did you get hair homie lol

Another great reaction!! I love this songs it’s 🔥🔥🔥🔥. Ronnie can do it all- I’m a big fan!! RR should check out, Westerner- not sure if it on the The Drug in me.. or Fashionably Late.

Fun fact. I actually own the bandanna that the guitarist (Jacky Vincent) used for this video.

FINALLY!!!!!

Kyle! Love the do'! Looking handsome feller!

Right now from the coming home album would be a good review. Song is hilarious

I have to give my knowledge on this because back then I was a die hard etf fan and when Ronnie got out of prison and laid this album out, I picked it apart bit by bit. This album was a big FU to etf at the time. “This war is mine” in rebuttal to “this war is ours” by etf. “One day they’ll see it was always me”. It’s all a big “you kicked me out because of my mistakes and now I’m gonna show you how I bounce back”. Later they go on a bury the hatchet tour with etf because…well…they buried the hatchet. Also I’m pretty sure, if my memory serves me right, he’s wearing a bullet proof vest during this show because he was receiving death threats.

My cousin socked me when she turned on this song the first time... i had no idea she was a fir fan

"One day they'll see, It was always me" So, Escape the fate = Ronnie. 🤓

It is said that the whole album is a break up album about escape the fate 🤔 Sink or swim is another great!
