Falling in Reverse took a new direction back on the album Fashionably Late and it was the best decision for them because Ronnie Radke took the band in the direction he wanted to for years

Couldn't help but let out a massive eye roll when you said "this sounds like a song the crappy radio station would play around here"

[@sportosp-0158]

Funny that you say that because the very next day I decided to listen to something other than talk radio and I literally heard this on the local rock station haha... Glad that I got to react to it first but, it is getting a lot of radio play. It is not the song, nor the band's fault, that most of the radio stations out there stink. Ours here happen to be crappy, and play this song quite a bit now that I'm listening for it. It is what it is. Roll your eyes as you'd like but, it is a fact.

[@Mahunashizzle]

@@sportosp-0158 it's less about whether or not the radio plays the song, it's the implication that if the radio plays the song, it must be bad. Just goes to show even metalheads have their hipsters.

[@sportosp-0158]

@@Mahunashizzle Well, you clearly saw that I liked the song. But, let's face it; the music that is marketable for mass consumption nowadays sounds very similar to this formula in a lot of ways. It is unfortunate if a good song goes overlooked because someone chooses to ignore it just because it's on the radio but, I'm not one of those people as you can tell. This song did stand out to me among all the others which is what led me to making the comments in the video that I did.

[@Adam_Love_Syck]

The chorus/hook is supposed to be the repetitive part so I guess I'm not quite understanding why that's an issue. From a song writing and structure aspect, I think it's a pretty solid formula myself. But I like to write catchy, digestable music myself. I like a simpler style verse to lure them in with the story, smack them with a catchy hook, and then when we get to a breakdown or something heavier in the song then that's where we really drive the musicality side home. Good review.

[@dianasaetern]

The red hair guy gets it. Good reaction. Falling in reverse - Voices in my head came out a month ago. You guys should react to it. It’s so good. You guys would enjoy it

What I like about you guys is that you’re genuine. Everything you say in your reaction videos really shows how deep you guys are in music (specifically metal of course). And I love that you guys are open to the “new stuff” like this one by Falling in Reverse. I personally am a huge fan of this band Falling in Reverse and have watched a lot of reactions videos regarding this song specifically. And by far, this reaction video of your’s is one of the most genuine ones I’ve watched for this song. 👌🏼 P.S. I do listen to old stuff too and that’s why I understand your opinions on newer songs like this.

Also the bald dude idk his name he's kinda in a completely different area of focus this song isn't about being heavy or being catchy this song and Losing My Mind and Losing My Life are to spread a message about Ronnie Radkes past and how he's moved on from it and people always bring it up makes him mad

[@sirundying]

its not about making him mad or ppl bringing that shit back all the time. i think its more his own therapy of dealing with who he is and how ppl see him ( popular icon, an idol for many ( and for different reasons for ppl )). also the way he bring the subject of his daughter often i also think its his way of telling her his mistakes so that when she grow older and start reading those lyrics she will really see how he felt etc etc.

[@zarinshapurjee9430]

It's basically what happens when Ronnie is pushed to his breaking point. The werewolves of is symbolic of when that breaking point breaks he becomes a monster

[@AreeyaKKC]

The genre of this music is called Ronnie. There is no other out there that's as fluid with transitioning several genres in one song and making it sound natural not forced. He writes all his own lyrics. Hes a genius.

[@DennGreenIII]

You know, for the life of me I just can never understand the whole "this sounds radio" argument. I mean in a lot of ways it's a compliment really. That's pretty much just saying anyone can listen to it no matter what your genre is and it'll sound good. It almost sounds like a copout to be honest lol it's like saying "man I really don't want to like this but I kind of do", I don't think it's doing the artist, or music in general, any justice. Also I completely agree with the guy on the left personally on just about everything he said, and I appreciate the honesty of the guy on the right and glad he did find it to be mostly enjoyable.

The lead singer for Falling In Reverse, Ronnie, was the lead singer for Escape The Fate before he was incarcerated and the band ditched him, during his incarceration he formed the new band Falling In Reverse. I'm a big fan of his vocal range and ability, the last few years he has really switched it up.

[@SunSupernatural]

i came from your eminem reactions and stayed for falling in reverse i was SO CURIOUS. ronnie was the ex singer of Escape The Fate before he went to prison. this song went viral for all the right reasons, this is SO GOOD. metal peeps react to it and love it and RAP ENTHUSIASTS react to it loving it. it's the perfect mix. ronnie is a mastermind! he can go from zero to 100. they are in for THE BIG BIG game

[@michaelescorcia7248]

I think that the big guy didn’t have the most open mind with this song, not by choice, but because he’s used to liking a certain genre and sound. We tend to shut down once we don’t hear what we typically find appeasing, nothing major. I will say that as artist, what we strive for is to : a) make music that makes up happy b) make music that others would like c) make music that can sell and d) take the listener on an emotional journey. A full serious tone would be very generic and one tone, I believe that the changes from verse to pre chorus to chorus etc. is what give the listener that journey through sound and allows all types of people to enjoy this music.

I praise you guys for being honest 🤟 I hope Ronnie Radke would react to this! He had a stream where he reacted to bunch of people who reacted on this song, and though most of em liked it, he still tried to find negative reactions or criticisms. You guys have appreciated the song and gave criticisms and suggestions on it too, and he wants hear things like this for him to improve himself. I mean, I don't want to assume that, that was his purpose for searching criticisms, but that's what I think he always do.

[@theflawedkid]

What's the matter with some of the commenters, it's Bowser and Sporto's opinion. Plus, from what I've seen they've kinda liked it. FIR got a lot of other 'heavier' songs. FIR is obviously aiming for radio plays, they're under an active major label, plus they've been headlining tours. I agree about the chorus is too catchy or a bit melodic, that it sounds somehow poppy, it's true, FIR meant it to sound that way. Sporto would dig a lot of FIR's other serious songs if he's into that specific topic. I also agree that a lot of bands these days fused different genres, I hate a lot of songs by FIR but I also like plenty of their songs, their sound differs with each album, so I guess it's up to them if they want to check some of it. I can see where Bowser and Sporto are coming from, I don't want to be biased just because I've enjoyed the band for a long time.

[@sportosp-0158]

Thanks a ton for the support. I did like it on the first listen through here and have really begun to like it even more on subsequent listens. Do you have a specific song of theirs you'd suggest I check out? Or we can do another reaction to? I'm trying not to dig too deeply on my own for the sake of not spoiling possible future reactions.

I have never been a big fan of rap, but the way Ronnie does it with the music in the background helped a lot. As for the chorus, it is a chorus, it is supposed to be done more than once. I do agree I wish the heavier breakdown part had been a little bit longer and that a guitar had made more of an appearance. But, all in all I love the song. You really should watch the three before this IN ORDER, "Loosing My Mind", "Loosing My Life" & "Drugs". All four of these tell an ongoing story.

[@MrJeepforce]

I think the transitions were on point and the complete range of Ronnie Radke's vocals are pretty impressive and made it all work almost seamlessly. I think he meshed it well and I do believe it's a complete step away from the "radio metal" the music has substance and you feel it if your actually listen to the music and the lyrics. Which some " new age metal" metal has been lacking.

So, I can only imagine that if they'll play this song on a station in BFE Wisconsin where I'm from, then it probably would get play in bigger cities and areas as well (at least I would guess it would). And satellite radio doesn't necessarily count.. I've had it before and their selection and rotation suck.
