Comparing the two versions of The Drug in Me is You.

[@fawnwalker7855]

The lead guitarist here is Jacky Vincent. He isn't the one that passed. That was the rhythm guitarist, Derek Jones who is also in the first video. Jacky left ( think in 2015) to pursue solo projects. Wow, you spotted the piano solo being the guitar solo! :) The courtroom might look familiar (although it was quite a different scene in popular monster). Do you agree that "I can't believe I'm meant to be here" seems to have a different meaning in the two versions? First one seems like being in trouble and jail, and like you said the second one sounds like meant to be on this earth. The way I heard it, he wrote this in prison looking in the mirror so that might even give things a little different interpretation. I really enjoyed your reaction. Insightful. Thank you!

[@2a.mreacts212]

Thank you. I do agree that, in the two versions , they can be interpreted differently. amazing that with just saying the same words in a different way can give the words completely different meanings. thank you for letting us know all of this interesting information. also I thought that courtroom set looked familiar.

[@laurilouise8280]

You guys are great! You get it. Ronnie’s lyrics are so powerful and his attention to detail is amazing. Incredible!! He’s a genius…thank you for reacting to this!

[@2a.mreacts212]

We agree that the man is phenomenal at what he does. he's got a great team, to boot. thank you, we do try.

[@GreatNastyNate]

Thank you for reacting to this. He originally wrote this song while in prison before forming Falling in Reverse. I like the reimagined version more myself. Fits the vibe of the lyrics more and his passion and pain in his singing I can feel hitting really deep into my soul.

[@2a.mreacts212]

can't argue that. but the original is really fun though.

[@GreatNastyNate]

@@2a.mreacts212 yes it is and is very catchy.

[@ro8648]

The guitarist doing the solo is Jacky Vincent who isn’t in the bad anymore but still good friends with them. Derek Jones was the rhythm guitarist who passed away.

[@2a.mreacts212]

Thank you for that.

[@joshuacalloway4637]

The addiction is hoping that someone, somewhere, out there…is happier because one is still alive.

[@2a.mreacts212]

That makes the song deeper than we thought. Thanks for that.

[@PopularMonsterUSA]

Jensen Noen, a Ukrainian, has directed their last 8 videos! He's a genius.

[@2a.mreacts212]

that's good to know

[@Pilutta100]

I still haven't seen a more beautiful video. So he kinda nailed it. Hugs from Sweden.

[@Heathmartin304]

The one with the guitar solo is Jacky Vincent dereck Jones was a rhythm guitarist for falling in reverse

[@2a.mreacts212]

Thank you.

[@carlamiller9848]

He had the solo guitar park transcribed exactly note for note into the piano solo, he also hated the f-in part but he wanted to be exact to the original

[@adoracle1]

Loved this, love Ronnie FIR too! #HOG4life.

[@WingManFang1]

Both versions of this song just hit different than anything else, the original feels like it’s talking about escaping an abusive relationship, and the remake feels like a deep introspective search to find why we’re even here at all, but yea the abusive relationship to a point as well.

[@2a.mreacts212]

That's very astute. Thank you for giving your view. We can definitely see where you get that.

[@shastaflower2641]

You should check out I'm not a Vampire and I'm not a Vampire Revamped. If you loved this one you'll definitely love that one

[@2a.mreacts212]

gotcha.

[@darcye7629]

Loved your reaction love both versions of this song.

[@animalystic420]

The two of you remind me of some of the cool friends my parents had when I was little...now me being almost 40 yall are DEFINITELY not as old as any of them but it was meant as a compliment, keep being the people you are because I'd love to kick it and have a couple beers with y'all lol

[@2a.mreacts212]

We took it as a compliment. Thanks, Friend

[@AaronIsolation]

absolute love❤‍🔥

[@GreatNastyNate]

If you like rock with some opera then if you have never seen Nightwish I would highly recommend them. A great first song for them is Ghost Love Score live at Wacken (with the w pronounced with a v sound) 2013. The band is amazing and the vocalist is something truly special. She makes people feel something most vocalists only dream of. They have a very large following. If you want more views that song would bring lots of eyes to your channel. Hope your channel keeps growing. You seem like you're a honest and down to earth couple.

[@2a.mreacts212]

Thank you for that. I (Dirk) have been thinking of doing some Nightwish. This seems like a good place to start. it will likely be a little bit before we can get to it. We have quite a few songs we need to get done before we introduce a "new" artist to the channel.

[@GreatNastyNate]

@@2a.mreacts212 I see you did this reaction. Almost 5,000 views already in 6 hours. Awesome! More to come I'm sure. Great reaction as well. Good luck with the channel Dirk

[@fawnwalker7855]

Yay, I was really looking forward to seeing this reaction :)

[@MaRoach7]

No that's Jacky Vincent

[@2a.mreacts212]

Thanks

[@zarinshapurjee9430]

The song isn't about a woman it's about Ronnie self reflecting. He is basically saying the drug in him is himself he's sabotaging himself he is his own worst enemy

[@2a.mreacts212]

The two different styles gives off different impressions of those lyrics. it's one of the things We love about the two versions.

[@brianstocks8049]

okay my dear woman..that lip stick is AMAZing, keep it for life

[@2a.mreacts212]

Thank you. I've always liked red.

[@sannyjohnsen2540]

Jackie Vincent is awesome , i soo miss his riffs in FIR , U should deff check out his solo work if u are a guitar fan ( He left in 2015 on good trems too pursue a solo career )

[@2a.mreacts212]

I (Dirk) will check that out in my personal time. I love great guitarists. my favorite ones are Randy Rhodes, Zakk Wyld, & Ted Nugent.

[@sannyjohnsen2540]

@@2a.mreacts212 So i see Ur into great guitarists ! if U dont know Yngwie Malmsteen yet , U have too give him a listen , hes so fucking awesome ( pardon my french lol ) I will suggest the tracks , Black Star and Far Beyound The Sun , but plzz whatch the live versions ( Leningrad maybe ) since they are so much better , than the studio versions ! Maybe do an reaction on them ??? That would be awesome !

[@2a.mreacts212]

@@sannyjohnsen2540 I actually AM a fan of Yngwie Malmsteen. I don't really know the others, but I'll definitely look into them. as for reactions, I wouldn't be opposed, but YT has blocked us before with some mainstream artists, so we can try.

[@annkennedy1672]

Also, Ronnie said himself, part of the style was an homage to motley style, snd I frikkin love it as a ‘bitch of the 80’s’😂 this style, video, music, lyrics snd holly Kelly yeah the band is raging awesome!💋💋💋💋 chefs kissssssss!!!!

[@2a.mreacts212]

yeah we couldn't choose which one we liked more. it would all depend on what mood we're in.

[@loganwilson4101]

My Favorite band. And favorite team too!? (Titan Up 😁⚔️)

[@gregory6592]

Great reaction. Ronnie Radke great range, very versatile. #HOG UK 🇬🇧 here for the support.

[@2a.mreacts212]

Thanks, Gregory. Appreciate the support. also Ronnie is pretty damn awesome.

[@brunokiki1]

Love the drug in me reimagined !!!! And the music video is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 love the aesthetic so much and the vampire teeth 😁😁😁😁😁 i always get Goosebumps at the last part when he screams 💪💪💪💪💪

[@2a.mreacts212]

I know. the whole song is a build up of emotion that he finally releases in the last moments of the song. takes my breath away.

[@meme-ls7ft]

Also ..the guitar player was Derek Jones..RIP

[@2a.mreacts212]

RIP. Thanks

[@RealDrunkenMaster]

I will always prefer the original version.

[@2a.mreacts212]

makes sense.

[@lesah3648]

Love this

[@lmitchell76]

Very Nikki Sixx

[@ston3kill3r]

I still can't believe the band hasn't received a Granny award

[@2a.mreacts212]

I don't get it. every last one of them is phenomenal. and together they are something else.

[@meme-ls7ft]

This song is about drug addiction 👍😎

[@2a.mreacts212]

We do realize that. We probably should have pointed that out lol.

[@annkennedy1672]

“lady am” I’ve listened to you talk ❤️✌🏻 it’d be great to email/message with you❤️ how do I send that info if it’s possible?✌🏻❤️

"D.R.U.G" - Tom MacDonald & Madchild :)

[@2a.mreacts212]

We know all of Tom's music. but we'll be happy to review the video if you're still interested.

[@lovebitcoin813]

@@2a.mreacts212 No thank you friend i only enjoy reactions hehe

[@annkennedy1672]

Subbed after watching a few of your reviews. Let me ask: can anyone deny how dam rocker-hot-sexy they are. Most especially Ronnie??? 🤷‍♀️💋 muahh!!!lol

[@2a.mreacts212]

as a hetero dude, even I can't deny that one.

[@Misstizzylush]

Is this supposed to be the first-time reaction? You pause it and quote the lines before he finished a sentence at about 4:30-36 in. Hardly any expression..

[@2a.mreacts212]

we knew what he was going to say because we paused after he said contra-. it doesn't take a psychic to figure out that the word he was saying was contradict. Also, we don't over emote and pretend in our reactions. sorry that it annoyed you, though.
