Old metalhead reacts to Money Game Pt 3 by Ren almost broke me

[@cathrinewitty6749]

Please don’t feel you need to hide your emotions from us, we’ve all been there many times with Ren ❤❤❤

[@SchnetzJ]

Wait until he finds out about Joe :(

[@sammyd8860]

In the International Music Video Awards January 2024, Money Game Part 3 won Best Music Video and best Director of a Music Video (Ren & Samuel Perry-Falvey), and they were also commended for best Cinematography in a Music Video

[@jenniferfoster1692]

So awesome! Ren should've been nominated for something at the Brit Awards...he had the #1 UK album! Or at least had him perform or something.

[@sarahirwin8912]

I didn't know that!! That makes me so happy to hear! It's so well deserved. ❤ Ren is phenomenal.

[@cathrinewitty6749]

Essentially Ren has just given us a 2 hour movie in a 9 minute song. If you haven’t seen it definitely check out his 1 million subscribers video, it shows you exactly who Ren is and boy would I be proud if he was my son.

[@TheBorderRyker]

15:04 You probably speak for more people than you think. This part hit me like a sledgehammer. I know exactly how that point of realisation feels, brother. It’s hard to face. Ren saved me just when I needed it. I’ve made many, many mistakes in the 57 years I’ve been on this planet and when I was at my lowest point I clicked on a random video that just caught my eye. It had been floating around for a fortnight. This was in the first week in January of 2023. The video was Hi Ren. The Money Game trilogy is in my mind Ren’s Opus (although I have a feeling that Ren is just getting into his stride!) and I had exactly the same reaction as you. The same reaction of legions of people around the world. As he said “but hold the mirror to ourselves. We’re all part of this “Old Money Game!””. We are Renegades. We are all connected by our self awareness and Ren’s music resonates with us because he tells the truth. It’s dark and it’s uncomfortable but it is us. “We must be better. Simply because the option exists” - Ren.

[@ClearTheRubble7]

Wow, one of the best comments I've seen, encapsulating my own feelings about--and experiences with--Ren's music. I'm a 65-year-old who discovered Hi Ren in March of 2023, on The Charismatic Voice. I've also led a hard life, based in large part on my own bad decisions and unhealthy thinking. Ren has been a ray of light for me, shifting me straight out of "victim mode" to "no excuses" mode. Even though I'm at retirement age, I've been inspired by Ren to live as if I'm 20 or 30, with all possibilities for fulfillment before me. And by "fulfillment" I mean, "for the good of all." The final quote you used, from Ren's Eden, says it all!

[@TheBorderRyker]

@@ClearTheRubble7 Thank you. Eden is another gem that makes you stop and think. One of Ren’s (apparently endless) abilities is to start discussions about ourselves and the world we live in and the beauty of it all is that he sets an example that, as you so rightly said, lifts us out of our victim hood and into a no excuses mode. Because he allows himself no excuses. I have Multiple Sclerosis and without realising it I was letting it define me. Since discovering Ren I have stopped wallowing in self pity and I try every day to be better and you hit the nail on the head when you said it’s for the good of all. Best wishes from Scotland my friend. #Renegade #RenMakesMusic ✊🏼🐷❤️‍🔥🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 P.S. The Charismatic Voice is great and Elizabeth really “gets” Ren.

Can I also say that this is one of my favourite reactions to this one, Turk. 👌🏻😎

[@TracieAngeletti-nc2zs]

“We must do better, because we can choose to We must be better, simply because the option exists” Ren Such a powerful line. We all can do and be better. 💜🖤💜🐇🕳️

I may echo what people think, but I'll never be so presuming as to say I soak for them 🙂

[@TheDoctorFlay]

Ren composed the whole thing, including the score for the string quartet (which he wrote as MIDI and gave to the performers to learn). Took him a while practicing the opening piano section as he needed to upgrade his own skills. Setting yourself a challenge is always the best way to learn and improve.

[@bethellen1962]

“Leave some god damned talent for the rest of us!” I loved that. Of all the reactors you seem the most genuinely yourself, beautiful. Thank You

[@gettingkilt]

Ren can play a mean piano, sing and rap and beatbox, and blow you away on any kind of guitar. He sings in many styles, all beautifully. All of which takes a backseat to his storytelling and songwriting. Enjoy Ren's catalog. It keeps spreading out.

[@elisabethstermo9396]

Before the take Ren was talking to the pianist and said he would really like to learn how to play the piano properly and the piano man (forgot his name) said it takes a lot of practice and Ren sure did a lot of practice to play the MG3 part in the beginning. So he isn't a very special skilled piano player. 👍 🇳🇴

[@thegingermenace8593]

Ren is playing the piano. He plays very well!❤ I just wanted to say, I cry to Ren's songs all the time, don't feel bad for showing emotions to Ren's songs. He should be on Broadway and write the play & the music. If he wasn't so ill, I bet there's a lot more he could do.

[@RobKeay1]

Dude, I’m glad that you’ve discovered Ren. You need to leapfrog to three or four of his other videos that are fun stuff, bragging stuff, etc. Try “Genesis”, “I’m Losing It”, “What You Want”, and “The Hunger” and “Back In 74”…..I can’t wait to see your mind blown. Cheers!

[@noctuscp]

Ren's art hits us all in ways we didn't expect. Love watching your reactions. Stay real... we've all been there.

[@sarahirwin8912]

You don't need to hide your emotions or true reactions, especially when it comes to Rens music. Very few of us have watched his music videos, and didn't have an intense emotional response. It's what he does. And he does it SO WELL. You're a human being with a heart.

[@lowwatthalo1654]

I love the progression from the simple one-instrument & urban-decay setting to MTV style music video to movie/drama quality with piano/strings & background action snippets - and still gets the message home that we're all complicit in keeping the wheels of the grinder turning.

Hey Old man. Greets from an old man. REN has an impact to the empaths . I´m 54 years old. and I can only remember a few artists in history, who had this Impact. I don´t have to mention ém. And some of them were killed. REN is able to touch everyone, ´cause he ´s so versatile. You may be into rap, metal, jazz, folk... You can always find something musically, that you can relate to. besides his poetryskills... P.S. sorry for my bad German ;-)

[@sarahrottenberger7373]

You may or may not have noticed this about almost all of REN’s music videos is that they are all filmed in a single shot and he has spoken about what all goes into these projects both in filming and post production. Just makes him and his team even more incredible and precious ❤

[@i_choose_kindness]

The only other musician I know who has done the performance aspect of it well was Jack Black back in the early-aughts, a whole show of “The Greatest Song in the World” and how they found it, a movie on a screen behind them in between them playing. Jack played a toy sax at one point. It was a throughly entertaining show and of all the shows I’ve been to, still is one of the more entertaining ones. That’s until I discovered Ren. He’s a homegrown prodigy; future musicians will draw from his music as an influence. He’s timeless.

[@i_choose_kindness]

Pink Floyd albums are great, meant to be listened in entirety, with recurring themes, not unlike Ren’s “Tales”. Still, Ren. My brain can’t even comprehend how talented he is. He has emotional intelligence beyond belief along with a myriad other fantastical qualities. He’s a once in a generation artist.

[@matildafishes9931]

I'm so glad we've been able to introduce you to Ren. We RENegades are devoted fans. Protect Ren. He's amazingly talented after years of being bedridden and introspection during pure hell. God bless Ren.

[@oldmanmetaldude]

I suspected, but every time I assume something about Ren's art, he goes a completely different direction

[@3X3NTR1K]

​​​@@oldmanmetaldude Try to get used to being surprised by him. You *won't,* but still.

[@rebeccaburnell9319]

It would totally have been possible for someone to "impersonate" Ren's hands by wearing copies of his rings, but his guitarist hands also give him a distinctive "I likely learned to play piano without formal lessons because serious piano teachers would roll over in their grave before they let a young student play with hands like that" death-grip in his finger curl. It makes a difference to the wear and tear of advanced technique on your hands if you hold that amount of tension in your hands/fingers as your "default" hand position, can stack the deck against you getting the best sound out of the instrument in tricky passages, and can stack the deck for you to fumble notes (I hear examples here of both these things he'll have doctored up in post-production so they don't stick out - worth noting, I *also* hear some fumbles from Charlie, the professional pianist who takes over from him at the bench - this is live, afterall, and the criteria for "yeah! THIS is the take!" won't be a few blur-able fumbles on the keyboard) (Don't get me wrong; he's a really competent pianist, for a self-taught person - I'm just saying the visual of his hands on the keyboard is identifiable) We also see some moments of his hands on the keyboard in his video "For Joe," so I was dead certain these were his hands when I watched MG3 premiere. (I did the full Royal Conservatory piano & music theory curriculum as a kid/teen tho I didn't do music in uni, have played for 44 years now) There are really great shots of Ren's hands in The Big Push's Wsr Pigs video to see his rings. He wears the same rings/chains/earrings every day, once he finds something he likes. Edit: 7:58 - whew, "in fact they can just hold you back at times" YES, I've never heard it said so concisely, you put it so perfectly!

[@davidberesford7009]

Ren can be very serious, and when he is, he doesn't pull any punches. I was introduced to Ren through a reaction channel "The Charismatic Voice" I now like to watch an occasional person reacting to Ren, because if you have sensitivity you have to React! You pass the test. Keep Reacting!

[@TheAxeification]

Check out The Big Push's song Swan Song. It's a band Ren was in until he had to leave for Canada for treatment. You'll be saying "of course he can play " again. And it's a beautifully haunting song sung in a church. The acoustics are amazing.

Ren once said in an interview that he can "make noise" on just about any instrument. I recommend the BTS by Wolf Johnson (there are 2: one is about 40 minutes but is short on details; a second one is 2+ hours Wolf put together by popular demand of us Renegade types ❤ and although too long for a reaction video gives great insight into Ren and Samuel Perry Falvey's one shot video process. Guess which one I most highly recommend 😉)

[@lyndsayricardi3462]

In the latter half of the song when he says “ and his example’s an exaggerated version of me, and it’s a version of him, and it’s a version of she, and it’s a version of you “ This really sums it up.. most of us have faced adversities ( lord knows I’m at the top of that list) and I’m insanely grateful, or lucky, that I made it far enough into the tunnel to see light again .. music has always played a huge role in my life but when I started to lose myself, I lost my passions. I’m so glad to have it back. Cheers from Boston! Love your reactions, hope it brings you the human connection that is needed in this world ❤

Haven't seen him play a harmonica, but he plays a melodica in Swan Song with Gorran and Romaine

[@elisabethstermo9396]

That piano is worth 100.000 pound 💷 but it isn't Ren's piano. It belongs to a piano store/instrument store. They drove it to the barn where the MG3 was filmed in one take with one break. The break was behind his wheel chair just a short moment. In RenMakesMusic there's a short clip where he's sitting in an airport rehearsal MG3 on a piano there. 👍 Best regards from Norway 🇳🇴

[@VideosbyLisaLisa]

Loving your journey. I haven't checked out your other stuff yet, so I only know you like metal, but you should know that not ALL of Ren's music is super deep or hard-hitting. My commute playlist is all upbeat/motivating-to-get-me-up and includes Ren songs like What You Want, Illest of Our Time, Losing It, Power, Ocean, Murderer, Humble, etc. His Love Music series is mostly ridiculous. Ren's experienced a lot in 34 years. In my experience, being very sick, being close to death as you approach adulthood can have a profound impact on evaluating what's important in your life. Ren had immense talent and was literally stuck in bed. For years, he read, philosophized, wrote and practiced. He seems to have had an intense need to say many things while he still could. As an independent musician in his bedroom, he was able to write music and explore anything he was interested in. It led to an amazing, varied discography. A correct diagnosis, stem cell treatment, and now more medical treatments (including neurological to counteract his brain damage) in Canada are getting him healthier. His whole "Sick Boi" album is about the many ways one can be "sick" - mentally, physically, as a musician, as a pervert, etc. It's diverse. I highly recommend checking out the first track, "Seven Sins," as an introduction.

[@Dr.Brummel]

Nice that you are here. Love your reactions. ❤ Some big hugs to you. 🫂 Wanted to suggest 'Eden' next, because its a kind of continuation of the Money Game trilogy. But maybe you do some lighter stuff first. You could do 'Swan Song' by The Big Push to see Ren play another instrument: the melodica.

[@spectregrimm8305]

My favourite part of this, is something that ren himself even said he truly enjoyed, doing the chorus/hook from the previous songs (rain, rain, rain, rain etc) without having to sing a single word of it, all visual, absolutely masterful.

[@whozitwhatzit4802]

The Money Game series is so strong & brings messages we need to think about. I especially, personally, like #1, and the "When did freedom become a reason to hate..." Tho the message of we are all complicit unless we make the choice to move toward change is also important (for society's health, the earth's health, etc.), among others. I sort of wish the endings gave a feeling of more hope, tho I know they wouldn't have as much impact if it ended happily. It's one of Ren's messages, I think, that we have to do the work. (Btw, glad you made the choices you did.)

[@troy9er]

New subscriber, I just wanted to say how happy I am that you found an alternative, healthier route to work through your own thoughts On a related note, about 17min 35sec into the Imperilment Live gig on your channel, I immediately had goosebumps realizing what was happening. Don't know how you feel about the guy so I hope this doesn't sound the wrong way, but I caught Cliff Burton vibes, in that I've never seen another solo bassist commanding the stage to such a degree all by themselves. Keep 'em coming, please! PS: if you'd be interested to see Ren play bass guitar, check out the video: "The Big Push - Wade in the Water / Nina Simone / Trouble so hard". I would love to hear your personal insights into equipment, technique, sound, etc from someone with first-hand experrience.

[@Goddzi]

Thanks for another great reaction, dude! Lovin’ your work ❤ After the heavy messages of the Money Game trilogy, I would suggest a number of more light-hearted Ren songs for your next perusal. The “Love Music” quadrilogy is good fun. XBox Marijuana by The Big Push is nice and bouncy Murderer has a darker, reggae feel but once you’ve checked the official video, also check out the live acoustic version as well. Then perhaps some “older” Ren. Fire is a great indie/Blur/Blink 182 type track off his first album “Freckled Angels”. Anyway, there’s a few ideas for you to be going on with! Have a good one! Til next time. See ya 😊

Looking forward to seeing where you go next on your Ren adventure! Singing Ren? Rapping Ren? 🥰

It was Ren playing piano at the beginning! He also wrote and arranged the music for piano and strings, co-directed the video, set up all the audio and did all the production and, of course wrote those amazing lyrics and gave that wonderful,performance, all recorded live. They were going for Ren's usual one-take but they had to make a single edit, during the wheelchair section, as the 'rain machine' kept malfunctioning. After all that, the result was...? Yet another Ren masterpiece! :)
