Old metalhead first time react to How to be me - Ren x Chinchilla

[@francesdoll4039]

I rember Sam Tompkins saying that Ren will adapt to the the person or people he is workinf with. He has a charming lack of ego when working with others. In Back on 74 it is the same with the back up singers. Enjoyed your reaction. Thanks. Oh, these 2 have apparently taped another couple collaborations that have not been release yet.

[@MissyGail4eva]

Yeah, they have, and they are teasing us horribly by making us wait, L😅L

[@AversaS2]

100%. And The Big Push, I think that’s what makes them so good. Groups always say “we don’t have a frontman” but it’s usually bullshit. But if you watch them perform live, Ren is just as happy in front of the mic as he is playing backup while one of the other guys takes lead. And they’re all like that.

[@sammyd8860]

Ren & Chinchilla have such an incredible chemistry together. If you haven't done it already, check out Chinchilla - Fingers (Live for Hunger TV)

[@barbarahatcher5942]

I’m so glad you said he holds his own with her. I’ve heard people say she outshines him here but I’m completely fascinated at how well-matched he is. Such a good one!

[@iamlpinthe312]

As we heard in Hi Ren , learning to soften means that you are less likely to break. Artistically, to be able to bend means that you know when , where , and how to allow yourself adjust in ways that creates space for others. Ren and Chinchilla have a special connection to each other, that includes unconditional trust with music but also with the vulnerability that comes with it. I watched Ren do this from his room, sitting alone on his bed and he wasn’t able to get through to the last part. I feel like their eye contact is saying “ I’ve got you.” Ren and Chinchilla always perform a ‘musical pas de deux’- dancing around and within the melody , with implicit trust. And REN returned and finished the ending. And wrote that he considered not posting it. But then wrote out how overwhelming higher the statistics were for males vs females to commit S because they weren’t taught to, afraid to, or simply shamed to admit they were struggling and reach out for help. He followed with the S hotline. He genuinely doesn’t want anyone to feel the depths of despair that Joe felt that night. This from a man who suffered unrelenting pain for a decade and is still going through it. ❤

[@alloralou4722]

I love that you shout out other reactors, this needs to be a bigger thing. Thank you for doing this!!

[@gwynethzen77]

It’s the emotions in their voices and on their faces for me! Just such passion and commitment and feeling!! Moves me every time! ❤❤❤

[@gobkin123]

The smile on your face is all of us as we listen to this song.

[@salishseamermaid]

Ren is a prime example of someone who knows "the rules" of music well enough that he knows how to break them to make it even better.

[@oldmanmetaldude]

I couldn't have put it any better!

[@sateentuoksu]

I think he also said he doesn't know so much of the theory that it would tie his hands from doing whatever feels good

[@lysfleming3331]

I love the tribute to his friend Joe. Great reaction as always.

[@MissMeKate]

Ren is so good at using discordant notes and dissonance to evoke unease. You know before they say a word that this will be haunting because of those little jagged edges, like pins left in a silk scarf.

[@docdurdin]

Ren said Daisy is like a sister to him, it's a mind meld.

[@FooDogDat]

Those discordant or a bit out of tune notes in an otherwise harmony invoke a haunting emotion. I recall several top voice coach reactors say that they tell their students basically not to ask to be taught some vocal mechanics to create a certain emotion, or to say when doing an analysis and noting facial muscles, expressions, or mouth configuration, that it is the emotion you feel that performs the mechanics, not the other way around. Then you have to be able to do that in a performance without the emotion taking you away from the performance. Doing this in a duet just seems next level. You will see this in Chinchilla's performances as they are very much on a theme of taking back control and self-empowerment. The emotion is expressed audibly, visually, and lyrically. She was the quiet shy girl growing up who hid behind her mother's skirt when introduced to others. She says her outfits and nails are her armor, it transforms Daisy into Chinchilla. She is the 'Violet' that grew thorns.

[@iamsquatty]

This is one of my favorite ren and friends collab.... its not only beautiful but also pretty much everyone can resonate with it since we have all forgotten how to be ourselves at one point or another 😊💜💜

[@optimistinmyprime]

Truer words have never been spoken 💯

[@VictorPizzola]

Rumor is two more duets coming soon. Chinchilla was on one of those prime time contestant shows singing an old classic her way.

[@Aiken900]

Try not to comment too much on KZbin but your empathy/understanding & discernment over the Ren songs & videos compelled me to express admiration for your reactions. Huge high five from me 😁

[@Shiroar]

Musical siblings both pouring their souls into the performance and in perfect harmony - or dissonance when needed 😂

[@matildafishes9931]

I love your reactions!! Keep them coming. Chinchilla is amazing in her own right. With Ren, the two are magic!! I love them separately, and as a "group." I believe the idea of working together is more like working "united." They feel it together and it's majestic.

[@jamaykapranion1130]

I get chills every time I hear them sing together 💛

[@dna2001]

Thank you so much for the shoutout!!! ☺ Just subscribed, but can't watch the full video as we haven't heard this song yet haha. Keep up the great work! And thanks to @gwynzyful for letting us know:)

[@oldmanmetaldude]

Very welcome, keep carrying on the spirit of the community

[@westbank5436]

I just discovered y'all channel too and I love it. Keep up the good work ladies!!

[@carolschiffler6271]

Ren’s voice always floats such emotion through a song - I think that is one of the things I notice the most when he does a collab. Someone below mentioned the little jagged edges being the bits that make his music shine so brightly. When combined with Chinchilla's melodic riffs, it is a powerful combination. I do love what you are doing with lifting up new channels - you are a true RENegade, my friend!

[@oldmanmetaldude]

I cannot think of a bigger compliment than to be called a true RENegade. thank you!

[@highlightspotent127]

Discordant notes similar to the sound of Tori Amos . It’s haunting . My god this is mind blowing . Incredible

[@AprilJMoon]

At all times, Ren seems to be playing at enjoying life. He acts the fool on clips and his streaming, his Collab's are games he plays at how much he can compliment the other, his video's are made to be different from others, hmm done that now for something different, gotta keep all the ships afloat on this rising tide of mine.. . Such a great human and musician

[@Rickro72]

I appreciate you, thanks for being a reactor.🙏✌️🤙

[@draigaur9543]

this song is medicine for the heart !

[@magdalenakotyrba4151]

I love to see you smiling while listening to this beautiful song❤ Much ❤ from Germany

[@katstarczan8415]

Both of them are special. But together? It's magical.

[@ZigZagBruno-racing]

Yep, Chinchilla is now added to the list!

[@violindylan]

You are such a great reactor and obviously a super kind human- thank you!

[@lesleytodd3586]

His art touches your deepest core... He is a pure soul with a talent beyond any words. He has changed my life and I'm sure will change many others. I'm so thankful to the universe that I found this amazing human being ❤️

[@spruce381]

Something special - glad to have found this artist and his many collaborators. Your reactions are spot on. Ta.

[@elisabethstermo9396]

I really like Chinchillas song "LITTLE GIRL GONE", it's a banger for sure. That's how you do a payback for domestic violence. 😅 A reactor said "OMG she's even more crazy 🤪 than Ren". I can see how they fit so well together. 😂😂 Best regards from Norway 🇳🇴

[@MsLynned]

I’ve recently found D,N,As channel and really like it. Thanks for shouting them out.

[@druidess73]

Skál, from Iceland! Love your reactions mate :)

[@jasonklenetsky5687]

Don’t let Ren know you’re from Iceland 😂

[@analisasmith7927]

Wow indeed - so glad you appreciated this song - it’s one of my favourites - yes, it’s beautiful. X And Chinchilla is well worth looking into😁

[@oldmanmetaldude]

After seeing 2 of the song she has done with REN, I will absolutely be checking out her solo stuff

[@dottiemurray6013]

The song is so beautifully written and the way they sang it, such harmonization gives me Goosebumps every time 💗💗

[@StefanVillkatt]

Another feeler! Thank you for another wonderful reaction.

[@rkbartlettservices]

I am the same way. I have been telling everyone I know about Ren. I do the same with favourite books, I will buy copies and share them with friends

[@mariajoseurizar5093]

I love the look on your face watching this two sing, that was my face too when I first listened to this, great job Turk ✨ Huggs from Guatemala 🇬🇹

[@MCP920]

I found DNA yesterday! For Joe is as stunning as I forgot how to be me.

[@cathrinewitty6749]

As far as I’ve heard I’ve not heard a bad Ren song. This is about how Ren felt in the days, months and years after losing Joe. He has carried immense guilt since that night and he lost himself.

[@oldmanmetaldude]

we all carry guilt over something, and I think that it is that empathy that makes his music able to connect with so many people. its a truely amazing thing

[@impediment1]

Ren won top honors at International Music Awards. KZbin won't let me post a comment with the link. I'll post link below.

[@MissyGail4eva]

I saw something about that, but I wasn't sure if the details.. guess I was just waiting on Hex and RenNotRen to post the info for me, LoL.. 😊

[@dottiemurray6013]

It was for Money Game 3, best music video & best directing, honorable mention for cinematography 👏👏👏

[@alimac1469]

Haunting Harmonies when needed - perfection.

[@JS-TexanJeff]

Wow! Thanks for bringing this one to my attention. Holy Smokes!!!!! Yes, makes us lesser musicians and artists just want to hang it up. No contest.

[@abbymathews5088]

Great reaction! I really enjoy your reactions to Ren. 😉❤️✌️

[@noctuscp]

Love this song, love the chemistry that these two have. Digging your channel.

[@optimistinmyprime]

I loved every bit of this reaction, it’s a favourite. Appreciate your insight on the music :)

[@CyndeLooWho]

I didn’t think about the overshadowing issue but you’re right and and Stevie Nicks example is 🎯

[@alloralou4722]

If you haven’t done so yet if you have time please give Chinchilla’s solo stuff a try. She’s a force and her songs are brilliant. I suggest Fingers Live, Little Girl Gone the official video and Cut You Off. I think you’d get a kick out of her songs, her wardrobe and her singing plus they are dark songs that make you smile. When she sings you know she’s not taking any prisoners and they aren’t as emotionally difficult as this.

[@DusCostea-kt1dg]

REN always 🔥🔥. Please try some of Chinchilla's earlier catalogue like ELEMENT'S or ONE TIME or FABULOUS or TERMS AND CONDITIONS or LOCKDOWN GET DOWN or TRIGGER or LITTLE GIRL GONE REQUIEM Live 🎵🎶🍯🤌🔥🙏✌️🐝🍀

[@lauramorris7843]

Back again... keep coming back for more. I too am a Ren superspreader x

[@kellyt5341]

Same... When friends or relatives send a damn video to watch, I always counter with "no problem, but you have to watch this video...Hi Ren". Later I text to tell them I watched their video, did you watch mine yet? We will discuss both videos when they watch Hi Ren. I'm relentless. 😆

[@marianneszijj]

Wonderful to follow your journey into Ren’s and now Chinchilla’s musical archives. This live performance is off the charts amazing! And yes, Ren calls her his musical sibling. I suggest anything from Ren’s Demos Volume 2 or the Big Push, based on your commentary so far. And, I think you will find that Ren seems to have incredible chemistry with everyone he works with. He is an absolute chameleon You’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg! 💔❤️‍🩹❤️

[@CosmicVagabondPixie]

WoW that IS Wild i freakin just subbed to D'N'A channel the other day stumbled across it lookin for **GeniusRen** reactions & i already **Adore** them so wow KickAss for doing what ya are doing man YAY **A Rising Tide Lifts ALL Ships** **Get It** **Beautiful Reaction** Thank YOU!!! **RockON!!!**

[@StantonMoira]

Great reaction. Spot on. They are awesome.

[@bethellen1962]

Once again, sensitive, intelligent response. 🙏

[@royjnunes]

loved the live practice session

[@oldmanmetaldude]

Hopefully next time I'll have everything up and running properly

[@letsart6434]

Awesome! Been looking forward to this! ❤

[@EstherRoda]

I don't think if you have listened yet Patience. Ren sing it at the film/ documentary Unrest before he was good diagnosed

[@MissyGail4eva]

One of my absolute favs, but I prefer the Ayesha Jones' version.. he looks so young, bit it's the intro I love

[@peterveste6976]

Thank you always love your reactions, more Ren please ❤❤

[@drewlester4313]

U nail it every time!

[@darlinesly9364]

👍 Thanks Turk!

[@seagull01-cp8pb]

Great reaction💕👍🦇

[@dmj4966]

On the shout out train.... HeartSupport--music the improve your mindset ...Therapist Reacts...she is amazingly empathetic and knows music also and gets themes way before they develop

[@oldmanmetaldude]

A fantastic channel, they do great work!

[@d2ndborn]

This was another reference to his friend Joe.

[@margothealy6881]

I was unsubscribed and have resubscribed…love to see Aussie reactors on the Ren train…I have been talking about him to everyone I know as well. I hope as his health improves he will come down under and I will be there ❤

[@letsart6434]

Comments often mention how this is the bridge they believe he jumped from but I've learned that it's not actually the same bridge. But it is a bridge meant to symbolize that bridge. But idk for sure now 😅

[@kellyt5341]

They sang on a large balcony in Brighton. The logistics to set up on a bridge would be a nightmare depending on traffic, how safe is it and so on.

[@letsart6434]

@@kellyt5341 yeah I always wondered about that. It's usually windy around bridges too so idk why people used to say that. I did, too, until I learned it wasn't the case 😬

[@ChrisJones-we4in]

More Ren and Chinchilla collaboration(s) dropping in the not too distant future.

[@patriciaobrien6600]

Thanks for the info. They did unsubscribe me 😢 I have resubbed! ❤

[@Shawn-c5k]

With the deep breath in to still sound in harmony?

[@Shawn-c5k]

These two crush it with his musicality to me and idk nothing on her except they crush it together

[@Shawn-c5k]

Probably my request for Ren Sickboi, but that one just hits for me

[@jeremyrhoades2535]

2:01 objection your honor hearsay

[@oldmanmetaldude]

Oh, it's true, it's damn true. Thankfully I uploaded the pics to patreon, otherwise they would be gone sice my FB was disabled

[@VictorPizzola]

Mesmorizing[sic]. Neither minds sharing the spotlight. Soulmates.

[@MoreKellBellPlease]

I've often said the same thing when commenting on Ren's new releases. I've ran out of ways to say he's amazing. I truly like every song. And I LOVE the majority of his songs. Pretty much the only song that I've found that I didn't like that much is Satellite Girl. It's an alright song, but I usually skip it when it comes up. But maybe because I"m biased by hearing Ren say that he doesn't like that song lol. Chinchilla is so much like Ren where she's so emotive and willing to put it all out there. He calls her his musical sibling. It's apparent why. This is the type of song that should be on the Grammys and those award type shows. But since he's independent, that will never happen.

[@danielbeard7045]

Also, I love the shoutout to @dna2001, I love them! And that's a great concept, sets your channel apart for sure 😊❤

[@nancymunroe3672]

NOW, you MUST do For Joe next!!!

[@oldmanmetaldude]

its coming very soon

[@lizzpoulos7629]

I force every person I know to watch Ren's videos. There are Not a lot of septegenerians in Maine who get Ren. Lol. It's so much more fun when you enjoy it through other people.

[@davem287]

I feel he compliments her like Jerry cantrell to lane staley

[@Lunabracco]

You tube does it all the time ! I find I'm missing reactors I'm subbed to all the time! 😠

[@kv4320]

Another great reaction, one you have to do when you´ve already heard about Joe - like you, to make it even ´stronger´. Greetings from Belgium.

[@mariajoseurizar5093]

Looking forward for your reaction to Frecked Angels and For Joe You would love Chinchilla-Fingers Live

[@oldmanmetaldude]

Keep an eye out very soon

[@maratisoto9628]

They are your music now 😉

[@T_Witti]

Chinchilla rabbit hole? Nice! Go for Fingers (live for HungerTV) first!

[@lysfleming3331]

Hoping to see some reactions to Chinchilla. Fingers Live, Little Girl Gone live great ones to try. ❤

[@EstherRoda]

good night from Barcelona 🤘

[@petinawilson197]

Hey turk hello from Brighton! Commenting for the algo. Sorry i can't buy you a drink on your patreon but thats not stopping me from asking for chinchillas fingers 😊 love your reactions

[@fangirl6115]

❤❤❤

[@rebeccaburnell9319]

For me, in terms of older stuff, it's What Went Wrong (part 1 & 2) that never gelled for me, and then there's a bunch of tracks off Sick Boi with no video that also don't do it for me (often it's a tone of voice in his rapping, or too much "I'm doing a bunch of naughty lyrics we're supposed to laugh at,") - I don't begrudge anyone enjoying any of those tracks, his lyricism/wordplay/rapping is amazing. It's just not stuff I find myself wanting to re-listen to, and mostly I don't even watch reactions to those tracks. And then that's in contrast to Everything Else This Man Has Ever Done, which has decimated my lifelong list of faves and placed a ridiculous number of tracks at the very top with a ridiculous number of his other tracks rating incredibly highly.

[@mcguigance]

I ❤ this

[@lisarussell2914]

Check out Little Girl Gone by Chinchilla!!!!

[@jwhiteuk]

What I admire about Ren (amongst other things) is that he's such an unselfish artist. His performances with Chinchilla and the Big Push show how he is happy to let his co-artists shine.

[@claretlake]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Jadedxx]

I'd kill for you to react to Slaughter To Prevail Viking 🔥 if you've never seen or heard it. Its like melodic death metal but a slight Slipknot feel. Its so good. My neightbors may be tired of it however. 😂

[@kellyt5341]

So how did you like the video he just reacted to?

[@oldmanmetaldude]

the name seems familiar, I am a fan of melodic death (used to play in a band of that style) so at the very least i'll check them out Just saw the thumbnail for the clip. I am definitely adding it to my list of songs to do haha

[@shannontrough2680]

❤

[@round11teen_squirrel]

🔥🔥🔥🔥💜🙏

[@darlinesly9364]

You have to react to Chinchilla 1:5 Live.

More ren please

[@JS-TexanJeff]

At the end....LOL. Would love to hear your own 'crap' :) As much as I love your reactions to others. Give us some original music!! You never know where it may go....

[@oldmanmetaldude]

there are a bunch on this channel. look for my Taliesin playlist, its in the links at the end of the video too

[@Doobbie420]

Can i suggest reacting to some Warning its a 3 piece sister band hard rock/metal. Think you would enjoy.

[@C0c0puffs01]

Thanks for the "check if you're subscribed tip." I checked and I was unsubscribed!! CHECK YOUR SUBSCRIBES !!!!!!!!! I checked it one more time at the end of the reaction and it unsubscribed it again 😡

[@Mmmmmmmmin680]

React to Seven sins and Sick boi and Sick boi 2 🎉
