FALLING IN REVERSE - THE DRUG IN ME IS REIMAGINED FIRST REACTION!! | MIGHT BE AN ALL TIME GREAT

[@Kelly30stm]

I am so happy that you loved this! I freaked out when you stood up! Twice now, I love it! Yes Ronnie is wearing fangs as a call back to his song I'm Not A Vampire. The girl is from the cover of the first album too. I hope the trilogy is next! See you in the discord fam!

[@katiep5256]

Didn’t catch Ronnie on twitch yesterday, did he watch Ernest’s reaction to the Drug in me is you?

[@Kelly30stm]

@@katiep5256 He did not. We will be trying to get him to watch both reactions tomorrow.

[@jessicap5262]

Yesss trilogy! I'll be there tomorrow to try and help you get him to watch!!!

[@Carpetm4n]

DEF DO THE TRILOGY!

Another here waiting for the trilogy!

Legit pulled into a parking lot on my way home to watch this reaction. Love this song and your reaction.

[@TheCouncilOfTheBros]

Lmao I stopped on my way to work

[@ryanhall04]

For real! Rather than go into the house, I drove around my block over and over to listen to this! Great song and reaction Brotein Shake!

[@OriginalBabyBoi]

Lol I'm just eating Ben and Jerry's😋

[@TheThirdErnest]

LMAOOO YALL ARE CRAZY. but tbh if I heard this song and got home before the end I would just sit in the car lol

[@claudialopez3029]

The original one its about Ronnie’s struggle with drugs and then jail. In the original video the Drug was portrayed as a woman, but in here the drug is the same woman from the album cover. In the end she burns, i gues is the way of him leaving that chapter behind.

[@tyler1988]

Seems pretty fair to me. The first video you see him chasing and making contact with all the women without a second thought whereas in this one he's clearly stand-offish and not moving towards the girl while she's dressed up and brought flowers as if to entice him back in.

[@jbrewer8941]

Ronnie was bragging on you more than pretty much anybody he has before in his live streams.... about how u notice the camera angles and things... and said that was how he thought when doing videos....

[@TheThirdErnest]

man thats crazy to get that recognition directly from the artist...give validation to my video style

[@eddie4412495]

Yeah man! Ronnie reacted to you reacting to Popular Monster and I won’t be surprise if he reacts to this video on one of his live-streams again. I enjoy your videos and your perception on music! Keep it up bro! 👌🏽

[@HannaGhost]

You deserve all the attention you getting. You're a very clever guy.

[@courtgodley7789]

i always tear up when ronnie switches into the fire-scene vocals, such raw emotion

[@apiranha1]

What I love most about this is the over arching theme of the lyrics that entwines with the structure of the song. It starts off somber but beautiful, portraying the addictive struggle (tormenting but comforting). Then as it progresses you start to hear that beauty turn into frustration in his voice...as if it’s becoming too much to bear. Then at the end...that destructive beauty is literally burned in flames both visually and vocally. He’s had enough, but destroying what used to be the beauty of his world is crazy painful. The creative choices he makes structurally and vocally mirror the exact struggle that’s painted in the lyrics..so far as to show the whole process and story of addiction. Masterpiece

[@TheThirdErnest]

PERFECT DESCRIPTION. and all that is only possible with the vocal range he has...without that it wouldn't deliver

[@hakunamatata9683]

The fangs are an ironic Easter egg of his old song “I’m Not A Vampire” I am also so excited for you to do the trilogy. It’s straight fire.

[@chronicinokla]

#fallinginreverse a reaction that is accurate of my reaction. Mind blown on how talented the band is and Ronnie's voice is epic. RIP DEREK JONES 💔🙏

[@moneyboy503]

My guy. I've seen this song more times than I can count but the way you get in depth with everything and get hype litterally had me covered in goosebumps the whole video man. You're slowly growing to be my favorite music reactor. I'm watching on console but I literally had to pause the video and open it on my phone just to leave a comment

[@Kelly30stm]

This is so sweet! He's my fave reactor!

[@TheThirdErnest]

damn thank you man!! or woman?? lol im glad I can provide enjoyable content...never thought id through to people like this so im enjoying it!

[@moneyboy503]

@@TheThirdErnest man 😭 I'm also the third myself 🤙🏾

[@abriananader1323]

Awesome reaction! You HAVE to do their recent trilogy it goes losing my mind, losing my life, and drugs. It's amazing!!

[@doctonic]

Yes please the songs are amazing

[@sparkythekid9750]

Ronnie wrote this in prison. He is a great lyricist

[@rebeccaedmunson3459]

I'm so glad you reacted to this version. It's so hard to decide which version is better. Edit: At least for me it is

[@TheThirdErnest]

depends on the mood but normally I like deeper versions like this!

[@skater61991]

This band is so dope! Just finding them myself.

[@TheThirdErnest]

crazy I slept on them lol

[@skater61991]

Same bro!

[@return2monke420]

welcome to the party boys

[@Egleolenjap]

Welcome to the rabbit hole called Ronnie Radke and Falling in Reverse! I love your reactions and I really love your appreciation for different genres and music! If you're interested and want to know more, check out Ronnie's first band Escape the Fate (their old stuff with Ronnie) for those early 2000's vibes and look into Ronnie's own story. He's been through a lot and has grown as a musician and a person so so much. It's been so fun growing up with him and his bands. I might be wrong but I think he's mentioned in some older interview that his voice and live performances improved massively after he got clean and he really delivers during lives as well. Most of his songs have catchy melodies but the lyrics are always deep af.. he basically grew up without a mum, was on drugs for a while, got kicked out of Escape the Fate (and apparently they also stole his songs while he was in prison), was charged with battery and went to prison with drug offences, did other shady stuff which has given him a pretty bad reputation and brought lots of hate, he's lost close friends and family members and so on.. each of his song has a story to tell and he's grown soo much, finally getting the recognition he deserves! Check out Raised by Wolves, Chemical Prisoner, Brother (ballade) and definitely the trio Losing my Mind, Losing my Life and Drugs! And of course his older stuff! Sorry for the rambling, I'm just happy you have found FIR and like them!!

[@Egleolenjap]

Just some more background information: The reimagined version was released kinda as a gift for long time fans to celebrate the "The drug in me is you" album going gold after 9 years and the girl in the video was on the album cover, so it's definitely a callback. I might again be wrong, but someone pointed it out when the first wave of reaction came out, that he's talking about literal drugs that in the first video took a human form like you guessed, but also himself- he himself and his own mind is the drug inside him that is pulling him down and making him do all these crazy things, you can see the struggle between the "old and bad" him and new him in the trilogy and he kinda burns the bad in the end of this video, which i guess symbolises the growth and leaving the past in the past and letting go of it.. you can also see in the trilogy and also in Popular Monster that his little daughter is the anchor that keeps pulling him back to reality and sanity.

[@Loki_Loki01]

Hands down the best reaction channel on KZbin. There's alot of junk out there that's just basic nonsense but i love how you breakdown the song and go into detail about specific parts and your knowledge about music and just the whole thing is enjoyable to watch. Every video is great. I agree with ronnie radke's comments about you as well when he reacted to this as well. Keep up the good work man

[@courtgodley7789]

im so happy you decided to listen to the reimagined version too!!! made my day to get this notification 🥰

[@sittinginlimbo513]

The way he inhales while singing “trying to consume” & those lines make me feel the hunger of the emotion. I also absolutely love how they turned the guitar solo into that piano solo.

[@heylolzable]

Thanks for bringing this up. Haven´t heard this for a while. Great reaction!

[@ashleydefrain7839]

Yess glad you loved this powerful song!! 🖤 The girl is from the cover of the original drug in me is you album. The vampire teeth are also another reference to a song called I’m not a vampire.

[@christopherring3858]

So glad you've reacted to these songs! Huge fan of yours and your in depth reactions! Keep up the amazing work! P.S. trilogy next, you won't be sorry!

[@TalesGrimm]

I just finished watching your reaction to the original (one of my all-time favorites), then you uploaded this - Great timing!

[@TaketwoFL]

It's crazy that you say you don't make music because you surely understand it. I found this on a late night binge and I'm a fan, honestly. You just seem like you understand music though you don't "make it." It's impressive and you obviously have a love of music and you really showcase it here. I respect your opinions on musical taste and your tenacity to push both the original and the 'new' version and understanding the differences. As a musician, the "fire/ice" reference you mentioned is incredible. I've never heard that but I plan to check it out after this. You know what they say though, if the song is constructed well you could perform it in ANY style and it will sound amazing, this is a huge nod to writing music well, correct, and well - perfect. Great reaction, you nailed it and gained an absolute fan just by your raw understanding of music even if you claim you don't make it. I'm impressed with your knowledge. Sorry to necro-post but you impressed me just as much as this song.

[@zachwhite5196]

I’m glad you’re liking FIR! Check out their recent “trilogy” of music videos for more fire. They’re titled “Losing my mind”, “losing my life”, & “drugs”

[@WeathersWorldCreative]

Finally! Come on, Ernest!!! Can't wait to see your reaction!

[@tsai-hweichen6757]

Man I really enjoy your videos, you don't do dramatic reactions (maybe sometimes lol) just pure feelings. I like the way you pay attention on the lyrics and the details Ronnie does to the song. Huge thumb up!!!

[@Sympanet]

7:08 I love the way he clips the word “see” short so that the cellos can come in clean. And then later when he says that same line he draws out that note because the cellos aren’t coming in.

[@TalesGrimm]

It took me this long to realize that's the girl from the album art who was stuck in the locker

[@Sonja_Phillips]

Fantastic reaction! I love how you pick up on some of the smallest details. This was great to watch... thank you. :)

"That Album" from Linkin Park is Living Things with "Lost in the Echo" and "Castle of Glass," the 2 best and most underrated LP songs in their entire catalog. Ronnie is the God of Music as he states in his music.

there it issssss lol I knew it just didn't want to misspeak...lp most recent stuff was so good...roads untraveled is one of my favorite tracks of all time

[@hopswigh]

@@TheThirdErnest Yea, I think that album was fire and really didn't catch like a lot of others which made it something special. They also did the dubstep version of the album which I still have the CD in my car for. When you do "Lost in the Echo" and "Castle of Glass" I'll be back ;-) lol. Love the channel brother.

He really enjoyed your reaction.
