REACTION to Falling in Reverse "Popular Monster" | LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS | De & Dre Reacts

Anyone else getting NF or Linkin Park vibes at first?
Once we got into the song, we quickly realized this was about mental health issues that most people can relate to in one form or another.
Let's talk about these issues.

[@chrislynn27]

Great reaction guys! Welcome to the Falling in Reverse rabbit hole. Ronnie Radke is one of the most talented front men today. He's very versatile. He can rap, scream, and sing very well. I would suggest checking out the trilogy Losing my Mind, Losing my Life, and Drugs in that order.

[@KrisThroughGlass]

This ⬆️

[@duwesxdd]

true

[@camarochris071]

Absolutely agree! Should also try Voices in my head

[@GreatSaiyanK681]

BIG VOUCH

[@Forgits-n-Shiggles]

Dont forget the drug in me is you and the drug in me is reimagined, and I'm not a vampire and I'm not a vampire revamped

[@dianejones8225]

Excellent reaction. His demographics hits higher than 30’s I’m 59 and can’t get enough. His story is amazing as to how far he’s came. He’s a true artist 🔥🤟🏼. Watch more you won’t regret it

[@laurilouise8280]

Ditto!!!!!

[@lorriredmon8212]

I'm 60 and LOVE Ronnie!

[@Defensive_Wounds]

47 here, Ronnie's demographic is definitely ageless.

[@roamthewayhome]

I agree completely!

[@roamthewayhome]

I'm 49 and obsessed with Falling in Reverse/Ronnie Radke. He is a true freaking artist.

[@davidyarbrough2197]

As a combat veteran, this hits hard. The things we did for our country and the problems we have when we comes back resounds with this. God bless my brothers and sisters. We need help more than you know. Always do a buddy check.

[@damienmaynard8892]

If you get treated like a monster, sometimes it's too easy to become that monster. Yes, always check on your mates (Aussie here.)

[@micheleford4282]

my husband was in the army for 10 years and he says this song hits hard for him. thank you for your service.

[@damienmaynard8892]

A long time ago, Anthrax rapped "Those who say rap and metal can never mix, all of them can suck our.......". Aerosmith and Run DMC showed it can be done too. Here, as in other FIR songs, Ronnie made it awesome!... and the drummer - matching the gunshots - no samples! The courtroom appears in other video's too. So much talent and it's REAL. edit: the little girl at the end is Ronnie's actual daughter.

[@nobodyimportant1337]

52 here and Ronnie Radke has helped me feel emotion again. Gen X is not okay and his music helps. He is a genre unto himself, he does it all. I see these guys in March and I can’t wait!!!

[@DSHndmn]

The girl in the video is his real daughter. She's been a pretty big role in a few of his videos as she's the one who got him through a lot of hardships. She's the only who can tame his monster.

[@aaronsnow3277]

She is the only innocent thing on earth thats keeping him human

[@stacynoxon8239]

55 years old and this is my Favorite Group, the little girl is his daughter Willow , she is his light !!!

[@SabbyTheWitch]

Because you all loved this video I would recommend reacting to falling in reverse's Trilogy it Has 3 songs in this order - Falling in reverse - Losing My Mind, Losing My Life, And Drugs. All three are great videos that he came out with to show his prospective of all the good and bad things in his life that he has done also it is cute that he uses his real daughter in the videos as well. Much love to you both

[@astrolopitekos]

After becoming a dad that ending hits way harder than I ever would’ve imagined

[@chrisgonzalez4414]

"Falling into love now with falling apart. " The complexity of that. You grow dependant on the broken parts fall in love with that hurt . Speaks volumes about vulnerability of a mind state

[@terrivineyard9240]

Recently saw FIR in concert and so did my 17 year old. They span all demographics. There were 8 year olds at the show who knew all the songs and also people who were older than me (47). Once you get it, you’re hooked regardless of age.

[@anessalyn1035]

Don't agree with your age demographic of 12 to 38, I'm 50 and not only do I love Falling In Reverses music but I can relate to this message having dealt with some form of depression most of my life. You're searching for help, for answers and you're told it's just a phase or stage you're going through. You do feel as if you are going to break down and the rage you feel inside will turn you into a monster. Every song Ronnie does has a message, having struggled himself with addiction and mental health issues. Other than that, your reaction was great.

[@MaRoach7]

@Anessa Lyn I have to agree. I'm 60 and love Falling In Reverse. I've also seen at their concert 4-5 yr Olds that knew every word. They're a band for all ages

[@celticrebel5229]

I've DID basically multiple personality's coupled with Violent intrusive thoughts so the court room scene is something like my vivid thoughts so I especially relate to this song

[@rodeandoran]

I agree. battling depression and such things are in all ages these days, unfortunately even kids as young as 6 years old. This can be relatable to ANY age these days as its a "hidden" disease that so many are battling with EVERY. DAY.

[@DarlaAnne]

I'm 55 and just discovered FIR a few months ago. I RELATE so much to so many of these songs. Never thought I could have a new favorite band at this age but here we are! I'm going to see them in July.

[@suefantastic4584]

IM 60!.. AND AN OLD SOUL!!

[@michellewhite585]

Please keep listening to them, they created their own genre, many different styles of music from old to new 😁

[@nathanthomson1931]

How do you think they created their own genre? Bands have been mixing styles since the late-80s and early-90s with bands like Faith No More and the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. You had Hip-Hop and rock/metal being combined by Rage against the Machine and then Korn and others by 1993/94. Not sure where your angle is in terms of them creating a genre...

[@jessefee4814]

​@Nathan Thomson you're thinking about this too literal. There is no band like falling in reverse, they're like Linkin Park mixed with a metal core band which no on mixed rap with this hard of rock

[@thehourcal3670]

Hollywood Undead are an honourable mention too.

[@boho_hippychick]

I'm 58 and this song resonates with me. Love FIR. Ronnie's a lyrical/musical genius.

[@fawnwalker7855]

Oh, and 57 years old here and this is my favorite group. Therapeutic at times for anyone who has suffered from mental illness. I heard this song and got obsessed with the band. Going to see them for the second time in February. Subbed to hopefully see more Falling in Reverse.

[@slackywozere]

the diversity & lyrical ability of ronnie radke is remarkable . each song is different check out more . if you want to hear him sing check out " the drug in me is reimagined "

[@bethgooch6243]

I’m 41 & just heard of Falling In Reverse. I feel like this song came straight from my head. The struggle with mental health is crippling.

[@kirkkershaw582]

…… just found my new favorite reactors. You both are the real deal. I’m here for it!

[@briandaniels8945]

You guys are gonna be a huge reaction channel, we'll done gentlemen

[@psychobetha]

totally agree about them reaching a really wide demographic. between the rap, rock/metal, beautiful ballads with orchestral music and choirs, catchy af choruses, and subject matter there’s a little something for everyone in Ronnie/FiR’s songs. i’m a 47 year-old woman and have been a big fan for many years. during the pandemic my niece and nephew heard me listening to their song “drugs” during our weekly family facetime check-in and asked about it. in 3 weeks i’m taking them (23 and 21 years old) to see these guys in concert because they got sucked down the falling in reverse rabbit hole and are huge fans now, too 😊

[@Thatskatermetalgirl]

So glad people are keeping this gem of song alive! 🙌🏼Definitely gets me through a lot. Much love to all!❤

[@april6058]

Great reaction! I really like you reaction format of a conversation, and it was a great conversation. Please listen to Falling in Reverse’s Trilogy- Losing my Mind, Losing my Life, and Drugs. Id really like to hear that conversation. ✌🏼

[@2RGGrannyJeff]

Great reaction guys! First time watching. Instant sub! As I'm sure many below have said, you gotta do more Falling in Reverse. This band goes hard, but also some masterful stuff. No kidding. Plus, the FIR community, much like others in the metal genre, are a really cool group. They'll let you know what to play next, but you'll eventually get to a couple songs they are "reimagined" and "revamped" and you're going to be blown away, lol. That's a guarantee!! Looking forward to seeing more.

[@De.Dre.Universe]

Thanks for the sub! -Dre

[@calebjosh9107]

I have watched this reaction several times and everytime I pick up on more things that you've said. Love it!

[@Goldbay]

I'm just watching this now and I'm at the part where you paused it the second time and the thought that went through my head is what a perfect spot to pause I can't wait to see what happens

[@OrbiTiZZeD]

I was thinking how much I love the vibe of you guys until I saw the Green Bay cup and shirt.. as a Milwaukee resident, easy sub. let's get them Lions outta the way now 🤞

[@mindy8031]

I rarely comment on videos, and it's even more rare that I subscribe to a channel that I found from a reaction video...but wow. I've watched hundreds of "reacting to Falling in Reverse" videos over the past few years, and at least 50 in the past few days, but have only subscribed to maybe two channels from those. You guys hooked me. The detail that you both went into when discussing the lyrics was captivating. I saw a response to a previous comment saying that you will have a "Watch the World Burn" reaction video coming soon. I will definitely be watching it as soon as you put it out!

[@De.Dre.Universe]

Wow! Thanks for subscribing! As soon as KZbin release dates are set for watch the world burn I’ll let you know. -Dre

[@Siendorf]

Should check out their newest song Voices in my Head!!! also Zombified came out after popular monster and before Voices in my head.

[@twistedgardens6064]

Falling in reverse : Voices in my head, Zombified, Drug in me is you and remake the drug in me is reimagined, Im not a vampire and I am not a vampire revamped. The trilogy is Losing my mind Losing my life Drugs in that order

[@marloeslaughter8688]

I really enjoyed the way you guys talk and dissect the song! The video came up because I watch FIR reactions all the time and can definitely appreciate them! Definitely continue to react to more and dig deeper into this rabbit hole! I would definitely say that you should react to the trilogy of songs that they do and then take more steps from there! I would love to see Voices in my Head done, but I’m a firm believer that it should be reacted to after a few other videos so you can see the evolution that Ronnie has gone through from where FIR started to where they have come! Will definitely be watching for more!

[@nathansvor1476]

Yall deserve WAY more views and subscribers. Fucking raw ass conversation about mental illness, huge respect. 🙌 keep doin what yall are doin.

[@djl3485]

Your reaction video is the type of reactions I love. Actually commenting on lyrics, music, etc. instead of just watching and nodding your head and ending the video. Keep it up.

[@kevingrasmick9369]

43 here I have listened to this band for a few years now love this band. They have mentality helped me...they get you in the feels for sure.

[@dorustan2009]

You guys know what you are doing.... The most clever reactions I have ever watched (and I think I have watched them all). Thank you, guys, keep on doing good things

[@R2D2isAstar]

Im 51 and love these guys! When this song came out i was in such a dark place …then this spoke to my soul. It was like he was reading my mind. It is STILL on high rotation in the car and is my agro song….when angry i drive with this up so loud singing along and it helps me vent. Isn’t that why music is so great? It can affect us all in so many diff ways. Loved your reaction and will delve into more

[@xirknight]

First time seeing you guys and I gotta say thanks you're both dope, lit and razor sharp with the commentary! Sub'd

[@anthonyspano8131]

You got a sub for the shirt alone!!! Them dawgs is hell!!! Great breakdown of FIR. He can spit, if you go down that rabbit hole you’ll see. Much love Go Dawgs!!!!

[@UndeadPandaLegion]

Voices in my head is another good deep talk video with the amount of symbolism in it

[@localmusicearthentertainme4361]

what a great breakdown. I enjoyed your reaction to this track & felt that you captured everything in your analysis. Liked & Subbed!

[@DCLOVESGOD365]

Ronnie’s so freakin talented he & his band deserve more recognition.

[@ronlunk2890]

You two are amazing. I love Falling in Reverse and your reaction was so heartfelt. Keep it up, many people are looking for this...your heartfelt words.

[@staceypeters1585]

Take time to listen and listen again. I'm just another old guy, outside your demographic, that f@#$ with this!!! First song since Tupac, Changes to make me feel uncomfortable with my anger, rage, or whatever it is I feel. In the old days I had Rage Against the Machine to speak (sing) my mind. So thankful for newer artists who can help to express what's on the inside! Loved how you both got lost in it!!Looking forward to more reactions from you two!

[@brianbaugusmusic]

Dayseeker - Neon Grave. Metal band that switches from aggression to melodic singing. The singer tells a story about wishing he could see his dad again from heaven.

[@Diegobarracuda]

I just discovered this channel and I find it wonderful. I love your reactions and the contributions you make both speaking and the text on screen.

[@create.your.strong5505]

44 years old, One of my fav bands.

[@jadepsychomambamamba9933]

Loved your reaction, guys. Loved your insight and ability to relate it to current issues. Thank you very much.

[@EternalTotem]

I seen this so many times. But your view I never saw it, till now. Glad I ran to you. Instant Follow

[@Pilutta100]

Wonderful reaction, thanks guys. Hugs from Sweden.

[@Black.Casper]

Great reaction! I’m going see them on the Rockzilla Tour next month in Houston! Would love to see yall go down the Falling In Reverse rabbit hole! 🤘

[@Talitha330]

I love watching people fall in love with Ronnie 🖤 Subscribed ! 🤗

[@austinkrebs2889]

This is my second reaction from you guys, and the first one was “watch the world burn” and so far I have enjoyed both a lot. The main reason I had to comment on this one was because I’m not sure which one is which quite yet (I won’t lie I kinda skipped the beginning both times) but the one in the yellow/orange? Hat said something about the “monster” being so common in people part. Never thought about it like that.

[@psychobetha]

can i just say… your beard is glorious 😃 came for the reaction, subbed for the beard. well… and also the excellent commentary.

[@amandalockwood4403]

Welcome to the FIR family and this epic rabbit hole to go down!

[@cobbsrenee]

Thank you. This is extremely healing for me. Better than the next option.

[@RAMBUK1989]

what a well put together channel and two top guys. should be a waaaaay bigger channel

[@kimberlys8422]

I grew up with rap and rock; I think it's a great combination. I'm 33 next month so I grew up with kind of music.

[@mikebrinkerhoff92]

Incredible break down gentleman. Genuinely enjoyed this.

[@charleysage5827]

I'm 43 and the reference to PTSD hits hard. That's why I'm at the VA everyday

[@midwestmulisha820]

This man basically wrote the entire falling in reverse album while in prison and it's still one of the best albums of it's type

[@dianastewart7490]

I’m 54 and I’m in love with Ronnie. My husband of30 years is okay with that. Any of his reimagined ballads are a must.

[@anthonygallegos9838]

I loved watching this. Looking forward to seeing more metal reactions from you guys. Much love

[@music2seeconcertphotograph457]

Greetz from a German-Dutch concert photographer from Hannover in Germany. Beeing 50+ and sufffering from various mental health issues for decades by now, I feel so related to this song in bothways: Regarding lyrics and regarding the music. "I think I'm going nowhere like a rat trapped in a maze Every wall that I knock down is just a wall that I replace I'm in a race against myself, I try to keep a steady pace How the fuck will I escape if I never close my case?" are the best lines ever written / performed with regard to depression.

[@FrostEncounter]

Great Reaction! I'm not sure if you've already covered it but of Falling in Reverses newer stuff I love "Voices in my Head".

[@Pilutta100]

Appeal to ppl in their 50s too. Just saying, I'm old af, but this is fantasticto me. Will now watch the whole thing.

[@TheDCRUAmpact]

……… “Crashed my car just to feel again…….” Chills. Felt that. Fire. 🔥

[@praelorn]

You guys gotta check out the band Skindred and their track “Nobody”. It mixes reggae and metal

[@StevieDrawStuff]

When his daughter touches him and grounds him, I always get chills. This song hits my soul every time I hear it. Great reaction. Falling in Reverse are amazing.

[@barryalan6399]

I'm 61 years old and this mfr rocks my mind. I love his creativity.

[@Nati_Native_Noise]

Makes me wish I caught my gf reaction to this song last week. I love people's reactions to this song its fucking incredible. And I can't wait to hear it live at Rockville in Daytona. Gonna be lit!

[@Marklar3]

I found these guys after hearing about the controversy of them cancelling a show after their laptops were stolen. I appreciated how they talked to modern issues with sincerity and expression. The topics seem cliche to me, but they probably have young fans who haven't heard about these issue a million times already. I agree with the comment about the influence of Linkin Park. These guys definitely grew up on their music. I also appreciate the level headed content warning. It's hard to say when you're going too far or not far enough with content warnings, but you guys made the right call.

[@Cigana090]

This is the most intellectual reaction of this video I have ever seen

[@blakepearce198]

Ive been listening to ronnie since he was in escape the fate. Amazing singer.

[@evonnehunter4258]

I’m 47 and I am obsessed with them. They have such a wide demographic

[@deannawalker7022]

The video is a representation of what you don't see going on inside someone's mind. All the turmoil and chaos but on the outside, I'm the popular Monster

[@zarinshapurjee9430]

The girl is his real life daughter her name is Willow Grace Ronnie always said she's his anchor that kept him grounded in his fight for sobriety

[@ss-qj8fu]

I love these reactions most of all because, it shows that even though it all sounds different, it’s about what we’re going through. We all experience it differently 12:08 and take it in,different.

[@YodaRules]

First time watching your channel, very impressive and great reaction. The little girl is Ronnie's daughter, Willow. He has said that she is the only person that keeps him grounded and not go back to his old ways. Look into Ronnie's journey to where he and Falling in Reverse came from. Ronnie Radke is the singers name, just in case you didn't know

[@aether13x69]

Everything Ronnie does IS authentic. "Falling in Reverse "Watch The World Burn" mv Ronnie goes Rap God.

[@the.whimsical.misfit]

Glad I found this reaction! Also amazing performance Georgia whoopin’ on TCU. Another banger from them is zombiefied.

[@AudiokultRadio]

new Subscriber here and I don't have to tell you about the FIR rabbit hole its been mentioned but the talent Ronnie has is insane ... you should definitely see I am not a vampire and Ia not a vampire (11 years later) revamped to see his growth and range!

[@Marthyboy88]

A LOT of context going into this song. Hope you guys keep checking Falling in Reverse out. Some super cool and unique stuff.

[@AMikeStein]

The court room is a callback to a song called the drug in me is you from Falling in Reverse from like almost 10 years ago. The whole video is in a courtroom and holding cell.

[@Ephem13]

There is a saying about Falling in Reverse that conveys both admiration and a little joke about how talented he is. "We get it, Ronnie, you can music." Dude isn't without his own controversies, but when your whole life is laid bare for all to see, who is really clean?

[@brittanygidley1291]

that’s his real life daughter in the end of the video, he’s also with paige from WWE who’s at AEW now, they’re together. ronny does reactions to people reacting to his music videos which is awesome.

[@epep50]

Ronnie's time in jail, addiction issues, metal health....all on display. His range from rap, rock, and almost opera is fantastic. The band brought everything together, very important. The production value on their videos is up there with Thriller.

[@ordinarybear7037]

A cathartic masterpiece... RR is a real matrix legend. kind regards all

[@alcredo1813]

The girl you see at the end is her daughter Willow who helped her get out of the well where he was and thanks to her he left the addictions he had.

[@candi_renee_28]

Popular Monster is basically being accused of stuff you didn’t do. A person can only be backed into a corner before they go, “you keep saying this about me, eventually they lash out figuratively. He’s been accused of being a liar a cheater a non believer. Notice it was all in his head. The court room started w dead ppl…at the end when he’s human again, there is no one in the court room with him. The little girl is his real life daughter and she grounds him

[@jukeboxdave6026]

Hi my friends great reaction to a great band a young gentleman taking KZbin by storm is ren -hi ren this video has had 3 million views in 2 weeks and it is pure genius worth a look many thanks love and respect from the UK 👍👍👍👍👍👍🌟😀😀 amazing channel 👍

[@bryan-twistgilmore6473]

Falling in reverse is such a amazing band. Another band and song you should check out is imminence,song-ghost. They are so good.

[@williamevans6455]

I'm 53 and love Falling in Reverse. Mental Health has no age restrictions. I'm also a big fan of rap and heavy metal so it's great match up.

[@debradanner5030]

Just turned 59, totally into it!🤘

[@fawnwalker7855]

Great insight on the lyrics. Push people until they become a monster.

[@skakangi]

I’m 58 and I’ve been into this band for years. But this is what most people don’t get and refuse to acknowledge. He states it better in his lyrics on Watch the World Burn. There’s a reason he’s in a church, you see the cross ignite, the church destroyed, and the lyrics “The fear is what keeps you alive Break the fucking chains, take back your life The fear is what keeps you insane Break the fucking chains, take away the pain” I know you have both heard Hopsin’s “ Ill mind of Hopsin 7”. He’s pretty much showing visuals in FIR what Hopsin is saying. Just heard you saying “ Praying to a god that you don’t believe” it’s the fake Christians he is talking about. Not himself. Break the chains and take back your life…. The chains of fear to even mention something that questions god.

[@KingMoonie]

What's carzy is I just realized the child at the end opening a door felt different to me. Made me feel like children are innocent and so they don't see him as a monster like how adults would. Kids are yet to be knowledgable of social behaviors so.. They wouldn't see him the same way as the majority of the population. It's such a great piece of imagery and makes me think that no matter how much of a monster you are on the inside there is someone who will understand and love you for who you are. Just gotta keep pushing and expect the unexpected.

[@saraharce8250]

That is his daughter. She is the reason he's been trying to be better after his time in jail and addressing all the things he's been feeling. She is his reason and salvation.

[@kevinjohnson4288]

The little girl represents his daughter who ronnie credits as his reason to keep going on despite his issues.

[@hoodieallthetime9907]

I’d love for you guys to react to the trilogy that Falling in reverse made. Loosing my mind, loosing my life and then drugs!

[@amyballard2495]

Just found your channel subbed loved your reaction

[@De.Dre.Universe]

Awesome thank you!

[@annmarielance4838]

The Drug in me is you original AND reimagined.... amazing!!!!

[@chrisdietrich8944]

This song helped me to discover that I am feeling the same emotions right now, but know we're working.
