REACTION | Falling in Reverse - "The Drug In Me Is You" vs. "The Drug In Me Is Reimagined"

[@jc5144]

I think the most underrated and least talked about part of this song is how he replicates an absolutely amazing guitar solo in the original with a piano. Dude is ridiculous.

[@SlayWithBrandy]

He is so incredibly talented!

[@Tittles67]

@@SlayWithBrandy little late to the party, but a fan actually composed the guitar solo into a piano composition note for note, sent it to ronnie, and then ronnie played it, loved it, and wrote the rest of the song around it!

[@baestschn]

I've heard a scottish pianist played it for this song

[@GothamsHer0]

Back to back is EXACTLY how both the reimagined songs should be analyzed. I love it.

[@williamjamesakamusicman1403]

Very good double reaction, you slayed it. I can't wait to see your double reaction to "I'm not a vampire" and the revamped counterpart. Definitely subbed

[@SlayWithBrandy]

I'll check it out asap!

[@michaelb1633]

I performed the reimagined version last night at my school music show. It was the best performance I've ever given

[@BittyMERC]

i swear every reaction i see the ending always is like that. woah i didnt expect that. its one of those songs that really catches most people off guard and i love that alot of people have the same reaction

[@SlayWithBrandy]

ITS SOOO GOOD

[@Z_TPI]

My personal interpretation.. The lyric "Running from my past I'm praying feet don't fail me now" has a different meaning in each song, which sets each version's underlying message/tone apart.. Original: Rebellious; No care about consequences; Always kept his coffin close(just in case) as he enjoyed playing chicken with death just for the thrill; The "bad boy" lusting for the "bad girl"; Enjoyment in chasing the high from the extreme ups and downs, always needing more of the "drug".. "Running from my past I'm praying feet don't fail me now" - almost like a snarky kid who intentionally did something bad, running away laughing hoping his feet hold up so he doesn't get caught Reimagined: Regret; Misery; Sadness; Reflection; Haunted by his past; Acknowledging that lifestyle was toxic, that it destroyed him as a person; The mental torment and depression has possibly made him have suicidal thoughts, so he brings his coffin everywhere "just in case".. "Running from my past I'm praying feet don't fail me now" - Running away from that past lifestyle. He can't stop as he is afraid he may get caught in that trap again. Praying his feet hold up(metaphor for his mental strength), so he doesn't regress back into that toxic life, as he knows he might not make it out alive a second time... I could be totally off haha but it works for me. If anyone knows of an interview or something where he laid out the actual meanings, let me know haha

[@SlayWithBrandy]

I completely agree it has such different meaning between each song! I love everyones different interpretations!

[@DarkAngel1985Mike]

The lyrics were always dark, Ronnie wrote the songs when he was in prison and the first Falling In Reverse album came out right after Ronnie got out of prison

[@music2seeconcertphotograph457]

As someone who's suffering for decades from (amongst other things) double depression, I can with his newer songs (especially Popular Monster / Voices in my Head) so much connect with Ronnie and the way he puts his emotions into the songs.

[@jasonlgadsby]

Myself as well. I am a disabled veteran who also suffers from a bunch of issues and Ronnie has become my go-to for music therapy.

[@demonic_myst4503]

I dont dislike the old stuff 9r nee but im glad he is moving forward he been through so much in those old years

[@DarkAngel1985Mike]

One of my favorite bands

[@Grimlock1975]

Big shout out to Sean Rooney, a fan who sent in a few classical versions of some FIR songs to Ronnie. He composed, played the piano and orchestrated both this and I'm Not A Vampire Revamped and he doesn't get enough credit for his amazing work.

[@stevenbligh9187]

The second video brandy WOW I've got chill's this was absolutely stunning, beautiful i loved the piano playing it went perfectly with the video this could be my favourite unbelievable 👍

[@giovannimastrogiacomo3641]

... Goosebumps....... ❤❤❤Thanks....

[@anthonybrownlee1457]

radke is a true artist it took him a bit to show it but his art is always amazing

[@erikduggins228]

Nice Easter Egg at 09:23 - Reimagined

[@Loki_Loki01]

Apparently the piano solo is the same notes on guitar as the guitar solo in the original which is cool. Also those cello players had to be taught how to look like they were playing it properly for the music video since they've never used a cello before haha

[@music2seeconcertphotograph457]

Did you notice the vampire fangs of Ronnie. What a nice hint towards "I am not a Vampire Revamped"

[@SlayWithBrandy]

I missed that! I will be reacting to that next though!

[@jeremyjames6456]

REVAMPED. the end.

[@TheNecromorphkiller]

going from being a scene party kid to a mature goth adult

[@SlayWithBrandy]

Facts tho

[@demonic_myst4503]

To be fair he is a case study of stages of pain Rebelion partying denial and issues To sadness To rage

[@KiraTheGod666]

I remember me falling asleep listening to this song and wake up the fuck off at the end scream haha

[@SlayWithBrandy]

SO GOOD hahah

[@demonic_myst4503]

First saw thwm at warp tour” he was still in orison at warp tour thats 2009 warp tour is where the replacment bocalist in escape the fate had a meltdown about being compared to ronnie

[@SlayWithBrandy]

oh dang!

[@demonic_myst4503]

@@SlayWithBrandy not that they didnt get over their feud and tour tigether in 2014 and not that ronnie didnt also do some petty shit aswell borh agreed they borh added fual to the fire

[@mattmorganRnR]

[@CODPOLICE]

[@DarkAngel1985Mike]

Ronnie Radke is a musical genius

[@daphne9016]

Amazing reaction🤘🔥🤘🔥 Ronnie shared on a live stream that he wrote this song while he was in prison staring at his reflection in a mirror 🪞 Just subbed🤘🤘

[@zarinshapurjee9430]

Great reaction hope you react to the trilogy losing my mind, losing life and drugs in that order, chemical prisoner, it's over when it's over, raised by wolves, pick up the phone, coming home, carry on and champion all by falling in reverse

[@missambie1921]

I love this band!!

[@xpookybubx344]

I was going to suggest this and then to see if you watched it first. *golf clap*

[@SlayWithBrandy]

[@creedsman0352]

PLEASE REACT TO PAIN REMAINS TRILOGY BY LORNA SHORE

[@TheSkini151]

The song was always good, is just that Ronnie got better at expressing himself. Is what I think.

[@mikewalls8115]

I'm not a vampire Revamped is just as good.

[@nutzer1337]

I'd love you to react to electric callboy - hypa hypa. you gonna love it, i promise!

[@SlayWithBrandy]

Ive never checked out this artist before but i could give them a listen!

[@saltedxp]

Check out Dream State - Taunt Me / you will rock it out. They are from Wales.

[@concept226]

Literally a different band. Ronnie is the only one still in the band at this point. Nice reaction btw.

[@carlroza102]

Don’t worry we all think this version is the better one!😜❤

[@SlayWithBrandy]

🤣🤣🤣

[@Nazyairsengikar]

Curious? if it's OK to not be OK then are you not then OK?

[@fawnwalker7855]

Different style = Different meaning, true?

[@wojciechorama]

Holy shot... whataprogress

[@SlayWithBrandy]

Right??

[@heybrayhayes159]

Def better than original. Ronnie is also a much better singer these days. Never could have pulled this off back then.

[@codyb6849]
