I have not shut up about how phenomenal Ronnie is as a vocalist since like 2006 😂 you need to check out I’m not a vampire revamped and the drug in me is reimagined!

[@ronnieradkefaneurope]

Agree you should really check out I'm not a vampire revamped and the drug in me is you reimagined

[@soeren4871]

Yes

[@henning_3255]

Came here to say this

[@kayleighmyers6464]

Yes, please! 🙏 ❤

[@sandrawohlden]

!!! i’d pay to watch those reactions😭

[@curtyoung155]

So in my opinion the original was the voice of an angry teenager mad at the world. FIR's version is that of an adult screaming for help from the world around them... absolutely a great cover!!!!!

[@angelfinley6244]

That’s a beautiful description

[@antonspjut4953]

The way you put it is spot on, the fir version is more of a adult that's been broken down

[@jennawhite5466]

I am a metal head at heart, and this was and still is the first Papa Roach song I fell in love with as an angsty teen. THIS version brought me to tears.

[@saltyshieldmaiden3417]

The song we needed as teens and the version we needed as adults.

[@saskic5367]

Thank you for saying all these cool stuff about Ronnie. I know I may sound silly, but I am honestly honored to live at the same time as he, he is the greatest artist I have ever heard. So open minded, talented, creative.. World needs more people like him.

[@ladykdaonline8725]

Genuinely LOVED this analysis and reaction! Ronnie is my favorite vocalist of my generation. He walked into a studio and did this masterpiece in ONE take. Dude is a genius.

[@pkm9797]

In one take? 😮 Makes it even more impressive!

[@vick247xe]

I was lucky enough to see Falling in Reverse last Saturday night 7-29-23, they was amazing 👏 ❤ Jacoby actually came out and did Popular Monster with him, it was amazing 😮

[@andrews1490]

They went Hard last Saturday. Wonderful show!

[@vick247xe]

Yeah they did, my first show since Covid and I wouldn’t have picked anyone else to see🤘

[@andrews1490]

@@vick247xe Cant say it was my first show after covid, I did AfterShock 2022 (FIR Was there) Also went to Sick New World, could not pass on seeing SOAD live. But still loved the vibe, and show in sac! Was great fun! Also the ticket price was CHOICE!

[@travelinman92]

Great show in Sacramento. Caught them in Vegas the previous Saturday also. Open air and a smaller indoor venue but they rocked them both!

[@SilvaDreams]

​@@travelinman92Caught the here in Washington on the 25th after they were in Vegas. Was extra awsome because last time they were here they had to cancel. (Not mad because one of the guys had to rush home)

[@StephanieEMT16]

16:00 Ronnie puts the sound to “not being fine” perfectly. It’s exactly how that feels. ❤

[@nolawest5183]

At times when he cries, "I'm Crying," it almost sounds like he's saying, "I'm Crying & I'm TRYING!" Which makes sense to me because the World goes back to being WHOLE as a symbol of your Spiritual Well Being Healing After Trying Hard.... & also from crying your eyes out, lol!!

[@BigFanOfManyThings]

Not gonna lie, I’m a new fan of FIR and Ronnie and happily fallen down a deep rabbit hole of theirs since this song came out. I was too young to hear Papa roach’s at the time. I think my recommendations list knew before I did that I desperately needed to see this version’s music video because certain circumstances in my life have caused me more undeniable proof of that recently. This song made me realise it and start reaching for help. Thanks Ronnie ❤, and great reaction vid, man. Stay safe, people.

[@Tigerflix20]

YOU stay safe.. I hope you find the help you need.. at 57, I’m a new fan as well… and it because of this also… and the rest of their music is amazing. That’s not what I came here for. I came here for you .. keep going!!

[@nereol9165]

This song, the lyrics hit so much more in this version. I love the original - but that song is almost as old as I am and English is my second (actually my 3rd) language - so I had memories about this song long before I understood the lyrics and the meaning. This one is so much heavier, not in sense of rock/metal music, but the emotional impact. Escpacially with the visuals. Yes, it is building things up again after we watched the world burn. Not only is every single music video of FIR better than many actual movies, but many tell a ongoing story. Ronnie, the band, the team are so creative!

[@TherapyGurl]

I loved seeing the smile come across your face when he started singing. I was already a huge Ronnie fan and appreciate his talent, but it was awesome to watch your interpretation and analysis of it! Amazing! 👏

[@diekatze1337]

It’s so different! Love the song ❤ I applaud you pointing out the switch between chest and head voice - I even was able to hear it (with my untrained ears 😅), thank you! P.S.: Yes, I also thought of Inception!

[@PeterBarber]

yay!!

[@woodywoodman2319]

​@PeterBarber You autta check out his "Revamped" version of his own track I'm Not a Vampire!!! Unbelievably Epic!!!! Skim thru the original song for a mindblowing comparison!

[@mb2games760]

If you watch "Watch the World Burn Live" you can hear Ronnie's vocals outside of the studio

[@G37xMaN]

Yes! I'll be honest, this video is why I subscribed to your channel. I KNEW you would eventually do it and I can't wait to hear you analyze it!

[@kghav6304]

Same! Lol

[@6868amalita]

Same

[@ArleneAdkinsZell]

Thank you for the great breakdown, I really enjoy hearing the technical stuff. I love that Ronnie reimagined the song instead of covering it, it is so moving and poignant. There is a video from when Ronnie showed it to Jacoby the first time, shows Ronnie's humility.

[@mattijohansen3471]

You know you made a immortal song that will echo through history. When covers like this is build on it. Deconstruction music this way for me shows what songs will stand the test of time. There are many great songs. But sometimes it takes the most magical cover of a great song, to prove just how brilliant it really is, and make it last forever.

[@shirazzza]

I love when Ronnie gets that warm deeper tone, especially as a contrast to where it's been prior. The guy is talent++ given he did the vocals in like half an hour apparently

[@KrisThroughGlass]

Great reaction. I can't sing at all but I still enjoyed your analysis. There's a video in which Ronnie plays his cover to Jacoby (Papa Roach) for the first time. It's really interesting to see Ronnie really nervous and to hear the unmixed version. Especially the part when everything comes to a halt sounds really different. Ronnie recorded this more or less in one take It was meant to be a guide track but turned out so well that they kept it with very little adjustments.

[@MaRoach7]

There is a video of Ronnie nervously showing Jacoby the unmixed version

[@sandrawohlden]

haha, i love that video so much!

[@TobiiRheaStarr]

Such a beautiful reimagining from Ronnie, he’s so good at them 🖤

[@mads_._]

I've always loved Ronnie's voice, it's awesome to hear your breakdown of why exactly it hits so hard! It's also so cool to hear your appreciation of so many styles 🙌

[@courtneyurman]

I love when covers reimagine the original and this one does not disappoint. Thanks for a great analysis. ❤

[@red5250]

It is a completely different song than the original, and it is so so amazing! They also have a few more “reimagined” pieces, one being with their own song called “the drug in me is you.” It would be cool if you checked out the other ones as well. Great analysis and video Peter!

[@Eileen_in_Vegas]

Another awesome R&A. You never fail to deliver! This was not something I’d normally have watched, but once again, I’m glad I did!

[@NvSrAgE679]

This was awesome man! Great vid and really cool perspective! Really enjoyed this.

[@ninosalvati379]

One take....the fact that he did it just to see what it sounded like and ended up.with this after working on the production is phenomenal 👏

[@dianejones8225]

I’ve been waiting for this 😊Loved the analysis. Thanks ❤️‍🔥🤘🏼

[@ChewingGumNightmare]

Love your FIR reactions, and let me be the +1 to state that your speaking voice is soooo so amazing! Wish I could go and see you singing live! Wish you the best!

[@anthonyvalentine9685]

This is one of the reactions I've been waiting on the most. Great analysis.

[@rhondawasson9601]

I really enjoyed the way you used musical notes to describe Ronnie’s voice. I just discovered FIR last December and I love ALL their music. I hadn’t even listened to music for 20 years because reasons. I searched KZbin for metal and watched “Voices in My Head” and I was a goner!🥰🖤

[@GinaBCosplay]

He shared an unmixed cut of the song with Jacoby in a reel which can be found on KZbin. It’s being played on a speaker so clearly not the best version to tell, but if you’re curious for comparison you could check it out

[@healeychantel]

You should check out the guy who wrote the reimagined version and played the piano for it. His name is Sean Rooney. He taught himself to play the piano by ear. Incredible guy.

[@Waschbaer71]

Absolutely! Even though he (finally) has been credited in the original Video (=> "Orchestral / piano arrangement by Sean Rooney") his YT channel (@SeanRooneyMusic) is additionally worth a visit, as he posted his "original" / instrumental tracks of "I'm not a Vampire (Revamped)" and "The Drug in me is you (Reimagined)" there! 🙂

[@ronnieradkefaneurope]

youtube.com/@SeanRooneyMusic

[@zarinshapurjee9430]

This a continuation of watch the world burn. It's part of their upcoming EP called Neon Zombie. There are four songs on it so far zombified, voices in my head, watch the world burn and now last resort.

[@tiffymcconkey]

After seeing reactions to this version, I'm came to the conclusion no one ever listen to the lyrics of this song until now(not saying you were one of them). I love your break down on this. His voice is phenomenal. Jacoby Shaddix loves this version and Ronnie had him listen to a raw recording for approval before he finished it.

[@ronnieradkefaneurope]

Great reaction:) Also its so fun to learn about how Ronnie is singing, thanks❤️🤘

[@BamsBangers]

Yep! I totally agree as to what has been mentioned. Totally need to do the other reimagined songs - I'm not a vampire and Drug in me is you! Praying you do those =)

[@thewickedone2676]

Was unaware that Ronnie could do that. Hadnt heard much from them but this was nuts. Much like Disturbed Sound of Silence, this cover did an incredible job at matching the tone of the lyrics perfectly.

[@kellysouther4278]

There is a video of Papa Roach hearing this for the first time before it is mixed. He loved it.

[@MsAmberAnne]

I was checking the comments to see if anyone mentioned that!

[@kellysouther4278]

It is an amazing cover and Papa Roach listened to it with Ronnie to give the ok. And he LOVED it

[@linnrandy1677]

this song hit me like a sludge hammer, i watched several reaction videos. that was cool how you broke it down, well done Peter Barker. you stopped it right before my favorite line in the song so i dont know if you missed it or not. actually no one has commented on it. when he sings "will it be wrong or it be right" for what ever reason i really liked it.

[@blkvamp12]

Yes!!!!! I’ve been waiting for you to do this since it came out!!!!!

[@UndeniedPunisher]

Great reaction! Glad to see more of your personality in this video!

[@bradness33]

As a fellow Barber I had to subscribe :) I get asked alot if I'm related to Peter Barber so I'm assuming they mean you, it's good to finally see the man, the myth, the legend lol Great analysis, love the breakdown of how he's using the different ways to sing in particular situations. Big fan of falling in reverse and looking forward to more videos and checking out older ones.

[@nickgoodnough6262]

The video is a sequel to their "watch the world burn" video, where everything burns. That is why this video is all grayscale, because the world is in ashes. But if you listen to this next to the original version, you can understand why Ronnie makes certain decisions throughout the re-imagining.

[@himbelieve3143]

Papa Roach's version is the child. Ronnie's version is the adult one. I was a child when Papa Roach song came out en I didn't relate. Now, as an adult, Ronnie's version hit hard. I can feel the pain in the song. And I think that more people can relate in this version because of the "ballad" kinda vibe. I just hits harder! Ronnie is an great artist ❤

[@dash-x]

I do love how he plays around with his voice and is always trying different technique, but just off his feel. He’s mentioned how he’s not trained professionally. He’s also mentioned how he picked up piano young but can’t really read music. There’s just some lucky kids that play it all by eye/ear. You may get a bette sense with his love performance of this, though each show he tends to tweak it a bit. 🖤

[@SundayDriver47]

Best musical breakdown I’ve seen. You have a new viewer!

[@markestes748]

I like the way you break things down. Great review.

[@jankates1274]

So very different and so damn good!

[@PeterBarber]

Truly!

[@susanleigh7618]

I've been waiting for you to react to this. I learn so much from you. Great reaction!!!

[@AngieCurl]

This was mostly a one take performance. Not sure if that is interesting to you or not.. but he said it was like 25min in the studio. 😊

[@chaseapple85]

great analysis. love to hear about the different notes

[@sydneexxceasy9063]

All of the reimagined videos are not actually falling in reverse they are just ronnie. Him and his producer and photographer create the idea. Ronnie and a buddy write the piano pieces and its all created together. Thats why its so vastly different.

[@kenniwallace6627]

How have you not reacted to Ronnie’s actual operatic reimagining?!! PLEASE do “I’m Not a Vampire Revamped”!!!!

[@littlemuffin943]

the buildings colapsing are supposed to be everything going wrong in his life, loosing his mother, thinking of suicide and more but then time stops and he breaths for a bit then the building going back up are him pushing through and things getting better. the screaming at the end is the realease of all the feelings just getting it out of you.

[@jessicahalter9729]

I'd love to see you react to voices in my head. I can't take this song off of repeat. Ronnie's voice is amazing. He is a musical genius.❤

[@thenosieyartist6924]

i love watching professionals who love their craft, react to things related to their craft because from 7:56 to 8:10 your eyes are just in constant constricting and expanding as your analyzing and enjoying good honest work. (weird comment i know its what happens when you study the human body for references for art too long)

[@sarahtroutt1051]

I physically cannot stand how talented Ronnie is I adore everything he makes

[@HeidiBullard]

If you just want a personal listen to his voice there is a video of Ronnie having Jacoby listen to the unmixed track to see what Jacoby thinks.

[@LeperMessiah2]

On another note. Jacoby and Ronnie did Popular Monster live the other day. You can find it on the someinamillion channel aswell as a few others.

[@HeidiBullard]

@@LeperMessiah2 ooh I'm gonna have to go check that out.

[@candi_renee_28]

The way he go grit to clean to grit clean. I saw them in February and he’s literally better live.

[@MommaOsoIrish67]

I appreciated the original for its angry defiance. This version. I felt this desperate cry in my core!

[@franzwohlgemuth2002]

The original shows the anger and rage... this shows the aguish, despair and sorrow.

[@rhondamancilla701]

I wish he would write a rock opera😊

[@M4n1Acal1]

Beautiful..makes me worry for a bit for Ronnie. I hope his life is gettting better. Music is killing it!! Love it!!

[@tylervenable5107]

Poppa roach is how we heard it as crazy teens and Ronnie's is how we hear it as adults.

[@littlemuffin943]

he recorded this in 1 take 20 mins they were all shocked at the studio

[@Conservative-Dad]

Great reaction! Never been the least mad with someone pausing so much during a song! Some people who actually know what they’re talking about should pause a lot. Good

[@maudglazbrooke1287]

I do enjoy a radically different cover

[@PeterBarber]

Oh yes!

[@Caustic968]

You would like i’m not a vampire remastered by falling reverse. Very similar to this.

[@ronnieradkefaneurope]

He really should check that one out. And the drug in me is reimagined

[@truth4460]

I believe He’s using a chest mix and not a full chest on those lighter chest notes you’re talking about, it’s not quite full chest and not quite head but a chest mix, could be wrong but just an observation

[@shannimonet]

I agree

[@ktay7382]

Great reaction & analysis 🇬🇧

[@nicostrata87]

Thank you ❤

[@LeperMessiah2]

I'm glad you call it a piece and not a song. Imo it's a huge difference of the meanings

[@nolawest5183]

I was wondering, how do you stay on pitch when you're screaming & crying like a baby??? I think it's more raw when it's not exactly perfect, & the screaming invites us to view & feel his complete emotional state... I Enjoyed Your Reaction - Thank You!

[@Ann-vi5ns]

It does look like the movie Inception.

[@user-zz7cb9kn7c]

Рони гениальный исполнитель, он полностью перевернул мои предпочтения в музыке ❤

At the end, the buildings are Falling In Reverse.

[@chibi76]

I love Ronnie's voice. Do you know Dan Vasc and his Amazing Grace?

[@tifaniemericle6946]

And with this reimagined version- I find myself listening to the lyrics more than the original, I feel like the original just has a lot more going on as far as instruments in the background. This one is very stripped down

[@zarinshapurjee9430]

Ronnie calls it a reimagining of the song because it's what the song would have been like

[@ronnieradkefaneurope]

You should really check out the drug in me is reimagined or I'm not a vampire revamped 🥰

[@Mzlero]

awesome reaction! you should really react to their song called im not a vampire revamped that would be really interesting!

[@FHen1979]

nice reaction. the original version comes in like a sledgehammer, you would like to dance & jump. the new version is more for start to think deeper. same text...different effect...and...sure...different emotions while listen to the song. greetings from germany.

[@deannamarie8389]

Ronnie Radke has a great voice and has so much vocal range. This is a beautiful cover of the song. I was thinking at the beginning, you're definitely not gonna have to point out the differences from the original version.

Please please do his "the drug in me is you (reimagined). sooooo goood.

I was going to suggest, if you haven’t done it yet, (Simon & Garfunkel’s) Sounds Of Silence Sung by Dysturbed. Their lead singer is a bass & wow…you’ll see. & he growls (vocal fry) in parts, too. Be well, Peter. 8/2/23. Ps: I’ll return to this post to see your response to this.

😎💭 Did you catch those subtle differences? 😂😂😂😂

[@-music-is-art-]

This is really interesting song, but personally I still prefer clean vocals more, it was too gridy for me in the end. Did you maybe check Son Jin Wook? I will ask every time, I really want to hear your analysis of his singing, I hope you'll make it one day.

[@MS-ns2pj]

The grit is there to express the emotion. Without it, the song would not be nearly as impactful.
