Falling In Reverse | Losing My Life | Metal Musician REACTION/REVIEW

[@NikNocturnal]

Did not expect to like this track but damn, it's VERY well done!

[@AJbassist]

how u refer to falling in reverse instead of it being Ronnie , cuz alot of FIR is just more escape the fate to me as always has been cuz alot of his emotion creative child, this is um SADLY GOOD?

[@stenooo2439]

Dope song and DANG Ronnie got ripped

[@blakeaveryraisethehorizon378]

I wanted to cry when I knew he was going to be rapping. But then I heard it...

[@jyessiterriaynt1131]

But it’s not tho

[@adamkahn8645]

i couldnt believe how hard the first chorus hits. yes, i know its simplistic guitar in A#, but it just sounds so aggressive the way they EQ'd that part

[@TheDrakorSynn]

"I almost wanna hate this song... But it won't let me.. " Best description I've heard.

[@BobRocksGuitar]

Exactly

[@reece.robertsn]

It’s dope that he can go from rapping to singing to screaming in one song

[@akarbit3r111]

That's Ronnie for you

[@benhostetter4775]

Fred Durst would like a word.

[@lowlifes4.092]

Fred durst is a little old for that sonny

[@diesel3333]

It's nothing new, Kiddo!! METAL UP YOUR ASS!! 🤘🤘🤘

[@atxngr7693]

Try listening to rolling stone - falling in reverse, they have edm parts too

[@offiziellerkanalvondoggen-3116]

They got heavier and softer at the same time if that makes sense. This song is really great, mixes up the sound of them and could be even a inspiration for new bands!

[@NikNocturnal]

I agree

[@Henrique-gl9vm]

I agree, it's amazing

[@goatllama9413]

That's what makes it unique and good

[@leonamann6272]

I am not a fan of rap music but I love this song (even the rap part)

[@NikNocturnal]

I agree, excited to hear more from them!

[@lastleft5809]

I agree. But I was more impressed with the rap actually than the chorus :0

[@nashgross8658]

Agree one hundred percent

[@Cymoar]

Leon Amann same this song is so amazing and it’s become one of my favorites from them

[@Jeonex]

Same

[@pumpkin31gutz]

The rap kind of threw me off, but I was surprised how much I actually enjoyed this song.

[@NikNocturnal]

So was I!

[@Ericsaidful]

Five years on, it’s wild how much FIR continues to change. Too many bands are afraid to change and they just fade into obscurity. Ronnie seems to have said “fuck that”.

[@dontjinxxit5198]

Little insight on the part with his daughter: the song was supposed to be about his life in jail. He was originally supposed to get out of jail in 2033 (or something) which explains why he is so unexcepting of it being 2033, and his daughter is older. He was scared of not being there for her all her life.

[@GG-kn2se]

If that’s true that’s really insightful /edit I can’t find a source for this so I don’t think it is true

[@heatherlaforest232]

The 2033 part had nothing 2 do with prison. He went 2 prison cuz he violated probation by bringing brass knuckles 2 a fight, so he was only in prison for 2 1/2 years. Some1 did die in the fight cuz someone from the other group brought a gun (assuming intent 2 kill) & out of self-defense Ronnie's friend shot the guy, who unfortunately died but it was ruled as self-defense. I believe it was in an interview Ronnie explained that he had a dream that he died in 2033 & his being "asleep 4 a long time" is when he was heavy in2 drugs.

[@RudyAyoub]

Reaction video to your reaction video Mind=blown

[@NikNocturnal]

Ooo damn

[@dynamicphotography_]

It's cool to go back and watch this reaction after the Popular Monster reaction.

[@jrbaconcheez]

"I want to hate this song, but it's not letting me" YES thank you

[@ZVYW]

Overall I disagree about the last album being bad, the last album was focused and complete. It flowed well from start to finish.

[@NikNocturnal]

I might have to give it another shot then.

[@manius1491]

Coming Home (the album) is more focused on the ambience and vibe rather than the actual instrumentals alone imo.

[@dreganrucker6323]

i really liked the vibe of the last lp

[@theandiller]

Coming home is a masterpiece: Lyrically, melodically. One big story from start to finish. Ronnie Radke is one of our best hopes for amazing tunes in the future!

[@migz-kun4326]

Falling In Reverse trying to reverse back to who they were before? Now this is something...

[@NikNocturnal]

^^^^^

[@theandiller]

Lol

[@velcro7037]

"I was not a fan of their last album" Me: oh? -sliiiiiides out knife- "I was a fan of their older stuff" Me: Oh. -sliiiiiides knife back in-

[@-Gax-]

I dunno, my knife was still half drawn lol

[@creamsoda2392]

I'm not the type of guy to usually sau someone's opinion is totally wrong, but Coming Home is my favorite FIR album...

[@namegoteeaten]

-still keeps knife sliiiiid out not sure whether to use it or not-

[@XIXKyleXIX]

It’s a dope track.. very catchy lyrics.. Radke finds a way to get us to like his shit lol

[@NikNocturnal]

Lmao very true

[@ProvokerZ]

More reaction vids ples

[@NikNocturnal]

I'll be sure to do more when I don't have time for guitar covers :)

[@benwierenga]

Great reaction video!! Most of the guys that are reacting to music videos act like they just fucking vibe to every single song.. maybe they do but it's refreshing to hear someone give a song a little critiquing.

[@NikNocturnal]

Thank you! I don't like sugar coating things but I'll never be straight up just foul because I'd like to think I have an open mind when it comes to music.

[@Xyvuz3320]

Falling in Reverse always had hints of rap I there music

[@RoyTrueblood]

Blake Gonzales anything with ronnie does look at ETF also when he was there

[@Xyvuz3320]

Luchiha exactly

[@ModernMessiah]

It creeps up on you then you end up listening to it 253 times. Also wtf is in that prison food??? Dude is Jacked

[@Kriskraze63]

Dude, he's been out of prison since like 2010.

[@ethanskaggs6852]

Kris lol

[@gavinjeanfreau4589]

No but like really. Pass the regimen bud. I'm tryna get ripped outta my mind

[@kalebbauerlein294]

"Hello Ronnie" -Nik 2018

[@rogueshadow328]

You know what they're missing? Jacky Vincent.

[@NikNocturnal]

Dude is an insane guitarist.

[@RoyTrueblood]

Wrong he better solo

[@Cymoar]

Rogueshadow32 oooof that’s true tho

[@wildmoonchild8210]

truee

[@bert9596]

Coming home was my fav album by them, and this new direction they are going in is super exciting. Really need a third single from this new direction.

[@Zazzoto95]

From "Losing my Life" to "All my Life", Ronnie definitely grew out of one universe into another.

[@dames313]

Love the direction your taking your channel. Keeping the guitar videos/covers and adding reactions. Very good mix of content.

[@elias.7513]

I loved their 'coming home' album but these 2 new singles put me off. They didn't catch me but after a few listens I started liked them. Especially this one. It will be interesting to hear more new tracks from them.

[@Hellavit]

One thing that I really liked from the old falling in reverse was their breakdowns. They were unique and unlike most bands. They really need to bring them back.

[@NikNocturnal]

I agree, this song had a little taste of them which was nice for a change.

[@chrismabbitt7162]

One thing to i say its definitely a set opener cant wait to see them play it live

[@codygrantham663]

Chris Mabbitt they played both of the singles in salt lake and it was amazing

[@chrismabbitt7162]

Cody Grantham aww you got video?

[@rheaintoccabile6749]

I loved how you started this song more than sceptical and ended up liking it. Pretty good job again with the reaction video. Thanks for your thoughts here and please continue your work. I hope you cover some heavy stuff again soon. That's always my favourite.

[@articstorm007]

Had to listen twice but I really like this song. Kinda has some sounds from the last album and the synth is cool.

[@adamkahn8645]

honestly this is my absolute FAVORITE for FIR...... the bridge is what locks it for me

[@adamkahn8645]

i know its not a hard riif to play or complex, but it hits me just right

[@isaacduplantis1114]

Not a huge fan of their newer stuff, but man that breakdown is just 💣💣💥💥🔥🔥👏👏👌

[@NikNocturnal]

^^^ Right!

[@luckyskin09]

Unlike you, their last album Coming Home is my favorite from them.. I don't mind about him not screaming at all on the album and the vibe the album had really made it interesting. The melodies and harmonies were just perfect

[@bee6732]

I love all of their stuff, I like how they are constantly changing and evolving.

[@NikNocturnal]

Yeah this song was for sure a step in the right direction.

[@parisovide2712]

Hes getting better at rapping but has some way to go with his delivery, flows, and timing.

[@wilfredomalave8865]

Bro check this band, fear and loathing in Las Vegas- let me hear

[@adamsmith5211]

Wildjmg11 Gates lol yes

[@NikNocturnal]

I'll check em out :)

[@dekuonfire]

parasyte

[@KuroiYuki88]

YES

[@saito2582]

Very good song but I don’t like the autotune because to be honest the dude doesn’t need it :(( but apart from that the song is MIND BLOWING (also is one my favorite anime openings)

[@sammilun3932]

i never heard of a record like this and Ronnie's reply Are you Triggered 😂😂perfect timing hehe

[@therolandstreet]

Dude Keep the reaction vids coming. This song is so different, but I love it.

[@NikNocturnal]

Will do!

[@bidcs_]

im down for more reactions, also I get a sempiternal vibe from the chorus

[@NikNocturnal]

Good to hear! Yeah I felt that as well.

[@iiitzHimmy]

This video is the sequel to Losing my Mind, react to that.

[@NikNocturnal]

I'll check it out :D

[@taffytammytv169]

Prequel*

[@iiitzHimmy]

Jerome Igharas correct. Good catch

[@FastNCurious88]

R. Clark losing my mind is one of my favorites of ALL TIME. It takes A LOT to make that list. Creative genius!

[@FastNCurious88]

R. Clark how excited are you to see/hear the final in this trilogy?!?

[@timgoewey9192]

Personally I don't like Ronnie, but I do admit he can make some pretty good music

[@NikNocturnal]

Aha yeah!

[@MyoticTesseract]

Just like Jonny Craig haha

[@simonkirkman5751]

Fucking amazing song and video. I can understand his story that he’s telling. The rap, the screams, the intensity. The song just ramped up after the 3rd chorus and it went all out passion screams and it delivered. If they keep down this route it’ll be good.

[@Sammy102093]

Would love to see him react to fever 333

[@skylarmc93]

One of my all time favorite music videos and songs.

[@sharpes123]

Thanks for not pausing it every 5 fucking seconds like all these other reaction/review channels. These are so much better to watch when it's being reacted to in real time.

[@RyanNJ]

In the beginning of the video when he sees the guy and is like I don’t even know he says it’s a dream, i think it’s in reference to “my apocalypse” from when he was with escape the fate

[@trs5127]

Ronnie is one of the best rappers and singers out there. I don't even like rap much, but his rapping is gold. It's weird how my fav rappers are not solely rappers. Ronnie. Mike Shinoda. Lol

[@NUMBgirl021]

Listening to you talk soothes my soul.

[@macymccadden8923]

I love FIR! I prefer their old music though. 🖤

[@BFMV34002]

If you haven't heard Champion or Rolling Stone you should definitely check those out! Great honest reaction, I enjoyed it and I've watched more than a few lol

[@seeka4056]

as you say, it's az "simple" track, but daaamn the lyrics are so fking powerfull !!

[@Ophio117]

Niks aged 7 years in 3 years

[@robertquinn5297]

I love falling in reverse 😍😍

[@missanthr0pic]

I really enjoyed watching your reaction haha. I wanted to hate it too yet here I am listening to this song way more than I'd ever anticipated.

[@NikNocturnal]

Glad you enjoyed it :)

[@cazzenova9286]

I am glad Ronnie wants to experiment and mix in the rapping but goddamn the chorus is sooo fantastic personally.

[@Hopeswilldie]

"I have not heard a track like this" is a best description.

[@leonamann6272]

Please check out „Envy“ or „The Revelation“ by coldrain! I know itˋs not new but it is definetely worth it!

[@N8sLaxLife]

Leon Amann I second this and add Feed The Fire to the list! Coldrain’s fuckin dope!!

[@leonamann6272]

Julien Havoc You are absolutely right. They have way to many great songs to react to in one video 😅 But I thought that espacially The Revelation is exactly the music Nik likes the most :D And yes, Feed the Fire is amazing!

[@NikNocturnal]

I dig Coldrain! I'll check that song out. :)

[@leonamann6272]

Nik Nocturnal Glad to hear this :) coldrain is my favourite band and they have so many great songs!

[@jasonlovesmusicreacting882]

Leon Amann I wish they were more popular in the states!

[@MRX-tr9fh]

I absolutely love falling in reverse!!!🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🎸🎸🎸

[@MrGuitarforyou]

I love this song. Play a few times a day.

[@ninjacole2410]

I was in the same vein as you wanting to hate the song but because of the rap (because I’m not a rap person at all except for most of Hollywood Undead’s Songs) but I really like the chorus, bridge and pre as well as the more aggressive vocals and I’m falling (Ha! Puns) more in love with this song the more I listen to it

[@danielwarren1290]

Nik did you notice Brandon rage ritcher on drums ex motionless in white? And Tyler Burgess on bass ex New year's day and Max georgeiv ex Westfield massacre, ex escape the fate and ex New year's day.

[@NikNocturnal]

I damn I didn't, thanks for telling me!

[@marysastorm7182]

Personally, I love the song. The first time I listened to it, I was undecided, then I heard it again when I watched this and I'm really into it. This and Losing My Mind, if they release an album like them, I think it'll be amazing. I loved this video lol, I love hearing your opinion on the reaction videos because you're honest about it and don't fake or sugar coat your reactions. :) Great video.

[@NikNocturnal]

Thanks Marysa! I try my best to just be 100% honest in my reactions, glad you enjoy them.

[@rush_script8400]

You don’t like their last album? Bro I loved that album! Too me there wasn’t anything wrong with it but it’s just my opinion.

[@jamieortiz7481]

I f'n love ur reaction videos u crack me up and give great insight. I NEED a reaction from you on Bad Omens song Dethrone.

[@mariant4673]

two years now, holy shit time flies

[@AJbassist]

so many bands having this overall vibe I feel, the plot in you, the bad omen, bmth, FIR , so far from where the started all faling into the same new style but the rap was different

[@NikNocturnal]

I agree 100%

[@jasonlucas8740]

Check out. The Dali thundering concept. The myth of happiness. So dope

[@TheToecutter69]

I felt the same way you did when I first heard this song, I wanted to hate it but it’s just so darn catchy!!

[@NikNocturnal]

It has a lot of really good hooks!

[@TheToecutter69]

Nik Nocturnal I definitely think you can learn this song in less than 10 minutes 👍🏻

[@z_vizo4594]

Dude, i had the same approach like you to this song and the reactions too 🤘do more please Subbed

[@courtneycampling293]

Have you seen the Loosing my mind? One? Really good? It’s fucking awesome! Incredible!

[@eduardosilva3398]

4:38 the strong of the return.

[@CellarStudioProductions]

The transition to the second chorus sounded a bit rushed to me too. Nice reaction. Cheers dude!

[@Helloalluka3]

It’s on purpose

[@TennisGvy]

You should mount your cam on a different surface, so every time you hit your desk it doesn't jitter

[@heathstory9655]

Mr. Nik, would ever so mind getting some Before I Turn- Shattered Moon ft Courtney Laplante from Spiritbox on the channel? Extremely underrated and super dope band.

[@jonathanlaughlin9717]

Really liked the rap on this song, much better than Alone. Ive always felt like there was a lot of potential in mixing rap with metal or rock here in the 2010s. There jus isnt alot of rock artists who can honestly spit it like this. P.S. I dont think this is going to be on an album. pretty sure this and Losing my Mind were just singles. Really hope the next album sounds this way though.

[@rollakosta6554]

Dude your voice is quite similar with Andy Biersack's. Enjoyed the reaction vid btw!

[@GudHunterYT96]

Can we get Whispered next? Either do their song Strike or Jinkiniki

[@benikh1851]

wheres ¨Losing my Mind¨ ?!

[@benjamin4331]

"I'm not the wrapper I'm the morning after" Ronnie came to kill it before it starts... damn

[@Explorerman1293]

Their album just like you was fantastic, I wish they could follow through with those creative juices on the new album. It had everything you'd want in an album. Its one of the few albums that I can listen to without skipping through. Then they seemed to lose all of their soul in the next album. I'm not really a big fan of them per se, but I enjoy that album a lot. They have some cool ass songs and their own style, which is just rare to have these days, and I hope they don't lose that.

[@NikNocturnal]

Damn maybe I have to give it another chance.

[@Explorerman1293]

Nik Nocturnal "guillotine IV" is pretty dope 💯 let us know what you think.

[@AlternativeOutcast]

I agree with you man, last album kinda pushed me away from the band itself but damn, bringing it back. just a lil, we'll see lol

[@NikNocturnal]

Exactly!

[@ronnieradkefaneurope]

Have you listen to raised by the wolves from FIR ?

[@corysixxakuroku_1394]

Nik you're awesome bro

[@shiru.carnagevocal]

I love rap with metal da Best mix Bro

[@leodanysperez1261]

Great reaction man

[@NikNocturnal]

Thank you!

[@Guitarshredder559]

I fucking love this song.

[@St33zy-P]

Okay I never got passed the rap part cause i wasn’t feeling it but holy shit they made it fit

[@bochasmusic7850]

Sick song, so unique:-)!

[@NikNocturnal]

I agree!

[@Unknownusername1004]

I had the same reaction as you did, wanna hate it but it doesn't let you

[@NikNocturnal]

^^ exactly!

[@kenny1138]

That transition at 4:38 “oh no?!, so where the fuck” is nice

[@DrumsAndMetal]

Just out of curiosity what was it you didn't like about the last album? I actually liked Coming Come a lot more than Just Like You. Pretty much for the first time in my life I liked it BECAUSE there wasn't any screaming on it. I thought the screaming on Just Like You was kinda rough and didn't really fit the direction they were trying to go.

[@NikNocturnal]

I just felt that it lacked a bit of aggression. It sounded somewhat bland, nothing that really elevated it for me is all. :)

[@Unknownusername1004]

You'd hate the original ETF then because it literally sounded like the continuation of dying is your latest fashion

[@the_Beey0Nd]

"The Luminous Sky" by Skeletonwitch

[@Th35Om1n]

4:37 Fuck yeah i love this song!

[@robostripez]

I assume the new neon tongue logo is referencing a new album or at least another single?

[@Rebackka66677]

This is great nik

[@NikNocturnal]

Thank AJ!

[@nicolasboisvert2737]

hey I've been watching your videos for a year and honestly your videos are amazing and i would need your opinion on a musical point so there's my question. Would using drop-A tuning on guitar for trash metal would it sound great or too heavy?

[@MyoticTesseract]

Yeah, if I could summarize how I feel about this song, it’s definitely “I want to hate it but it’s making it hard to.”

[@NikNocturnal]

^^ this

[@DA2THFA1RY]

As much as I like his old school Metalcore days, and find the electronic and rap mix a little weird, this song is actually quite good... it's not something I'd listen to all the time, but I can appreciate Ronnie's evolution. Also also the music video is really interesting

[@gymboi15]

6:58 Nik: Nobody's expecting super aggressive sh*t from them. Ronnie: Hold my beer.

[@MarcosIx]

I had the same reaction. I really don’t like falling in reverse so i wanted to also hate this but i actually liked it, it grew on me🤘🏼.

[@NikNocturnal]

Exactly!

[@zarinshapurjee9430]

It may have been rushed but I think it was Ronnie trying to get out the verse before he passed it. People don't realise how hard it is to do that

[@Beergoggle4321]

He’s baaaack!
