Musician Reacts To | Falling In Reverse - "I'm Not A Vampire & Revamped

[@LCJynx]

Ronnie is a gift that should be protected at all cost.

[@KellyMHale]

Don't worry, everyone stops talking when he starts singing on the cliff. This video actually won some awards, so it definitely got some recognition. Not enough, but still. Ronnie has said that he writes around 95% of everything, from lyrics, to beats, and instrumentation. Band members have come and gone, but the vision has always been stylistically him. You can even compare his old band Escape the Fate's music, pre-prison, to FIR's first album. It sounds like a continuation from before he got kicked out of ETF. The video concepts come from him too. Of course he collaborates, but he does almost everything. He's at genius level!

[@TrevandErin]

He is!

[@KrisThroughGlass]

Great reaction! The woman in the Revamped version is Ronnie's live in girlfriend Saraya (also known as Paige the WWE champion). I didn't know Falling in Reverse, when they were in the original set up. As far as I know the drummer betrayed Ronnie (left the band and stole some music). The lead guitarist Jacky Vincent left to focus on his solo career. He was pretty young when he joined Falling in Reverse and I'm guessing that he couldn't be as creative as he wanted with Ronnie making all decisions (only guessing!!!). I have no idea what happened to the bassist. Oh and Derek Jones, the rhythm guitarist died in 2020. The dedication at the end of the Revamped version is for him.

The Revamped version lets you see just how dark the lyrics really are. The parallels he draws between his fomer heroin addiction and vampirsm is a little unnerving, especially with the visuals on the video. Im a fomer addict and alcoholic myself, so I know lost and out of control it can make you feel. Good for Ronnie, bringing attention to the battles of addiction and mental health that most people fight in secret. Those things need to be talked about.

[@AngieCurl]

I wouldn't say the old version of the band "broke up" as much as the band has just evolved over time.

[@lelareau3820]

Jacky one of the guitarplayers made a solo album, Ryan the drummer and Ronnie got into a fight (f*ck you and all your friends is about ryan), and Derek died

[@AngieCurl]

@@lelareau3820 Ryan is a scuzzy asshole, but he’s listed by Epitaph as the performing Drummer on the track “F*ck you and all your friends”. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Jacky V evolved and decided to do something else. That is evolution. A lot of the members have come and gone… and comeback… And of course RIP Derek. This is band evolution. Things change. Sounds change. People pass away, life continues. Not sure why you responded to MY comment?

[@debbyshannon7242]

Jackie is a GUITAR MASTER!!! He left because he couldnt take the constant pressure of fame, The Drummer Ryan Seaman left to start his own band with Former PAN!C at the D!SCO member called I DONT KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME and the Bassist Derrek Jones passed away in 2020 of an unknown cause (his fiancee Passed away in Dec 2019 of Breast Cancer,) The band now consists of Ronnie Radke lead singer Christian Thompson Rythm guitar Max Georgiov lead guitar Tyler Burgess bass and backing vocals (live) Luke Holland Drummer

[@bridgettethrush5605]

They didn't break up.. some of them just moved on to different things. And 1 of the guitarists passed away.

[@Pilutta100]

Loved this reaction. Hugs from Sweden, as per usual 😊

[@kiosfriend]

way I think of it is when you want to sit down, actively listen and feel it properly pull up revamped, if you just want it on in the background, or at the club or something like that, toss on the original.

[@sourgir-wh6xd]

😥💭 Derrick Jones was the lead guitarist in FIR. He passed away in 2020 from a subdural hematoma💔

[@sassyslsgrl]

There is a reason why I chose them for my very first concert ever....it was amazing even if I was likely one of the oldest people there at 43 😂 He was still recovering after covid and they still put on a hell of a show.

[@DarlaAnne]

I hear you! I'm 55 and going to see them in July. Never thought I could have a new favorite band at this age and yet here we are! 😂

[@fawnwalker7855]

Yep. 57 here and feel the same way. :)

[@jakewalker5522]

Way back when “I’m not a vampire” was new me and my current gf(almost 11 years) made this our song. I texted her a line of lyrics and she responded with the rest

[@jakewalker5522]

More context I’ve always been missing the teeth between the front 2 and the K9s, I look like a vampire. 3 ppl i met had the same teeth issue

[@claranielsen3382]

Yes!!!! I cant wait for this❤

[@danielswyd]

since u prefer the lighter/stripped back stuff, id recommend checking out "gravity" "brother" "superhero" off the top of my head.

[@simonedmondson8875]

Always the way with bands. They chop and change over time bar the lead singer (whose usually a founding member) sometimes it’s even because they make it big then want to make their own music not what they play as part of a big group. And fall outs and stuff

[@kimzwolinski9919]

I listen to both versions it just depends on my mood 😊 I know he isn't serious but I would argue that Black Sabbath was a really good influence on his music 🎶 ❤

[@TrevandErin]

Both versions are cool for sure

[@evematice6104]

I don't think you've done Zombified or Voices in my head yet? If I'm wrong sorry. Lol. A couple of older songs from then- Chemical prisoner Raised with Wolves Much more...

[@april6058]

Enjoying your Falling in Reverse journey! If you like Ronnie’s Rock sound check out, Chemical Prisoner , it fairly new and different from his earlier songs. A few other favorites are, Raised by Wolves ( first song on F.I.R.’s debut album, The Drug in me is You), an Rolling Stone ( not the remix) off their 2nd album.

[@sebamylexa4962]

Please do a reaction to “Coming home” by Falling in Reverse. This is such a beautiful song and I can't understand why it's so underrated 😔

[@Spunky62]

Ronnie is a MUSICAL GENIUS! #2 BUCKET LIST CONCERT! TOP is #1 😏✌️🫶🫂☕️

[@megtwix721]

Ronnie NEEDS to STOP hogging ALL the talent and leave some for the rest of us!

[@apexphaser8768]

This is the one I've been waiting for 🙌🙌

[@SleeplessMomma]

Yep, Revamped is better, everyone knows it. ❤️✌🏼

[@cme4me]

Guess we're visiting a different church this Sunday😂 🔥🔥absolutely amazing

[@ronnieradkefaneurope]

Ronnie's voice is amazing 😊

[@tltillman]

🤘🤘

[@kingsfan62]

Same lyrics, but definitely orchestrated. Ronnie can compose music.

[@blairsy7836]

🔥❤️🤘

[@LauraPemberton-Collins]

It may not be about which one is better BUT the revamped one is BETTER 🤣🧛‍♂️

[@jakewalker5522]

Gawd I love Paige

[@NightRaven2011]
