The Big Push - I Shot the Sheriff/Road to Zion/Hip Hop | REACTION VIDEO

[@jeffreyhamlin2971]

Oh yes the busking videos of Ren and Big Push. IF this doesn't Cement to anyone that He is way over talented. They do a great version of War Pigs also.

[@ItsMeTeenuhLeigh]

I honestly believe that Ren is a once-in-a-lifetime artist. In my 43 years on this Earth I have yet to experience anything like this. I honestly don't believe that I will ever experience another artist like this in my lifetime. Ren is different. It's not just his musical talent but it's also the type of person that he is that makes this that much more special. He is the type of human that I want my children to grow up to be like. He's a reminder to all of us on how to be better. I'm here for all of your REnACTIONS!

[@PaulaThompson-x9w]

Just so freaking good...every time I hear Ren or this band. I've discovered several new musicians theough Ren. Sam Thompkins is the latest in my adventure.

[@krotchlickmeugh627]

Damn you're picking the best songs

[@realbser1956]

That was excellent. I’m purposely only watching Ren through your channel so I can experience it along with you. You’ll be at that level brother.🔥

[@TrismegistusMx]

@10:54 "People are gonna think I'm crazy." Bro, after that breakdown of the way people experience music I already clicked subscribe. More like that, please.

[@kathleenswift7979]

Watch them do What Kind of Woman Is This 😁

[@RossoRosa62]

I would try and get to Money Game and Money Game 2 (lyric video) before the new one drops next Thursday cos Ren says it’s one of his proudest achievements

[@markuss7249]

They also did a version of "Wade In The Water"... Ren LOVES Nina Simone. And their performance of their original "Watch Out" (the one with 1.3 million views) shows a breathtaking connection with their audience. All these Brighton kids...

[@PoliticallyPink]

This whole band is outrageously talented, and vibe groovy. Can you imagine walking down the street and bumping into this performance?? I'm so envious! This whole performance is great! In order: "Watch Out," then this one, next is "War Pigs," then "Paint it Black."

[@mldkenny]

Your Ren intro is so on song it's perfect, the problem is there are so many other brilliant tracks still to do, honestly 200!!!! I have so many favourites it's pointless listening them all, but " One Dance/Drunk in Love " Live in Brighton with Chinchilla is so raw its touching. And when you want uplifting " Bongo Bong " The Big Push " I'm so enjoying your channel , it is just wonderful when a new reactor appreciates a true Genius at work. Romain, Glenn and Gorran are all so brilliant as well , two with some great tracks as well. Romain latest single is awesome. Finally " Fingers Live for Hunger TV " by Chinchilla is OFF the vocal scale.

[@ClearTheRubble7]

i agree with you on all points! Great reaction! I've been involved with music since the 1960's and have played with, listened to, and seen a lot of bands--and THIS is one of my all-time favorite live performances: a journey through the blues, reggae, ska, hip-hop and punk, poking at all of our emotions, sometimes all at once. I haven't been this excited and interested in an artist/band as I have been with Ren, The Big Push and all of his collaborators in a long time. Subbed! 🤠

[@toniyoung5131]

Their harmony is fabulous too. Praise You, Swan Song, English man in New York, Bongo Bong. The Lockdown videos have some of their own songs which are very good too, Radio is my current favourite.

[@norahdenovan8658]

REN is a golden soul, someone like him comes once in a generation. Love you man ❤🙏 The Big Push are just pure gold, these guys … Love them ❤🙏

[@dunny2000]

The guitar solo was performed by Romain Axisa and he is releasing some great stuff on his channel right now. I think you will love his catalog, he has an angelic voice and those mad guitar skills! Thanks for another great reaction!

[@LucidDreamer68]

Oh yes, you are falling down the Ren rabbit hole and it's a deep, deep hole. You like his story telling and the way he paints a picture. May I suggest, Money Game 1 and 2. Part 3 comes out soon along with his new album, Sick Boi. His catalog goes back over 10 years if you count his time with his band Trick The Fox. His song Blind Eyed with Sam Tompkins is great. There are a couple of version of it. To get the studio version, The MC session is best then followed by Blind Eyed ft. car park attendant (this one will make you giggle). I think a song that will also resonate with you is Crutch ft. Bibi. Honestly though, you can't go wrong with whatever you choose. Thank you so much for reacting to Ren! Much love to you! Renegades unite :)

[@francesdoll4039]

The Big Push has seval original songs as well....Dignity, Precious, Watch Out, Swan song, only a few. Romain Axisa is the mad french guitarist. He is dropping his own album in November. Such a wonderful artist and lovely human too! He and Ren were roomates for 6 years and never had a fight. Thay are all dtill friends though they are spread all iver the place right now.

[@AmaBrigitte]

You are 💯 % spot on! This band has the talent, the presence, the musicianship, the knowledge behind the music and the expert collaboration skills that we appreciate! Ren is a skilled performer on his own, but his band is just amazing! Althiugh they've gone separate ways, would be wonderful to see them perform again! Absolutely loved your reaction ❤liked and subscribed ❤

[@kevinsykes2549]

You gotta hear the Big Push - Bongo Bong and English Man In New York. They're both covers but both different styles then the others you've heard

[@naboos4432]

The guitar at the beginning! Perfection! Ren, and the band, are amazingly talented. Loving it!

[@biodorkus]

Blind Eyed ft Sam Tompkins! There's something like 3 or 4 versions available and they're all amazing, but I think I like the busking one best. 😁

[@dianeemanuel8541]

Love this mashup. Ren just vibrates music❤❤❤ the whole group is fire. 🔥 ❤ The way they transition from song to song❤

[@hazelwilliams423]

Because the band are so invested, we the listeners are so invested. Ren feels the music so deeply, so we do too.

[@leull]

The same things I have been saying since I know Ren. In the last 15 years no one gives me this kind feelings I almost given up he is one of a kind.I’m not even musician but coming from you this kind of respect it shows me I was right to feel that way.thank you so much to validate my feeling 🙏

[@slayerrocks2]

This performance gets better the more I hear it. It is easy to think that the modern music industry is dead. It isn't. I listen to a couple of great live bands. Clutch and The Tedeschi Trucks Band. The cream rises, but Ren is incredibly important, on top of that. He is trailblazing for independent artists, and he is bringing other talented artists with him. I hope we can see the independents become "the industry", and support new talent. Become a meritocracy. Consign the manipulators and leeches, the self-declared gatekeepers, to the scrap heap. It's time for the artistes to be in control, and save music.

[@MizCriz46]

The Big Push busked on the streets of Brighton & made videos for 5 years. They became so popular that they would announce their next performance on social media & the cops would come & barricade off the street because many hundreds of people would show up. It ended when Ren went to Canada for treatment for his Lyme disease. Ren also did some busking with Sam Tompkins - my fav is "Improvising Around Stevie Wonder". I look forward to watching you discover all of it.

[@jmango2636]

Okay next is Big Push - Bongo Bong … one of my favs

[@Theogvineofthedead]

The dead prez part always gets me. Such a great rendition and that's not even diving into the Marley business just being amazing 😂

[@vickilagesten8919]

Ohhhh...The Hunger...he rap raps!! lol so fun!!

[@Bob-wv7ed]

Very nice! Ren is just a different cat! I’ve always been a fan of the different. My fav artist is Peter Gabriel. I haven’t been moved by a musical artist in 20plus years. Can’t get enough of Ren. Just something about this guy that oozes greatness!! So happy to be on the Ren expressway. Not sure how today’s music bullshit will accept Ren but he’s clearly proven himself to be worthy of crazy recognition.

[@bethcote9978]

The guitarist, Romain, is the guitarist in the chair in Money Game 1, when you get to that one. It's a one take video that took 183 takes to get it right!

[@grandmaimhungry8135]

They also do a great cover of Bongo Bong. Great reaction

[@redangel169]

Your appreciation for Ren's artistry matches mine. That does my little renegade heart so good. Romain and Goran of the Big Push have incredible solo work as well.

[@MoreKellBellPlease]

Loved your reaction. Gonna subscribe in hopes you'll do more Big Push and Ren. I suggest you watch their original Watch Out from this same set (red suspenders version) or Paint It Black from same session. Or Wade In The Water/Trouble So Hard. So many good ones. These boys are all so talented.

[@elisabetholsen5478]

I want to say something. Some people play the guitar, and sometimes the guitar play the soul to the guitarplayer, like REN. Best regards from NORWAY.

[@lillyvanpug]

The amount of people who develop impressed stank face during Ren reactions is incredible 😂 Really enjoy your reactions. No words needed. Your face says it all

[@justkaron]

Just keep trying to understand Ren and keep up with him just enough to hear him. Delightful and confounding at the same time.

[@VideosbyLisaLisa]

Love your Ren journey so far. I'm glad you got to see another side of Ren here that isn't so serious. He's got a number of more upbeat songs ("Humble," "Ocean," "Power," etc.), but I think you should check out "Illest of Our Time," which doubles as a braggadocious rapper and the very personal side of still being very sick [peep lyrics during last part, which understandably goes over many heads on a first listen]. On your dive into Ren, I'd suggest trying to simply be inspired, and not compare your personal journies. Ren's truly one-of-a-kind. Few people who are bedridden for 23 hours a day would spend that time reading, philosophizing, writing and practicing music. He's a rare gem, and your life is just as unique and important - look at all the thousands of people interested in what you have to say next. 💛

[@Melly01]

Oh, I recognize a Renegade in the making! How many times have you watched Hi Ren and Jenny & Screech? LOL Warning ahead, turn around now if you're not prepared for a bit of an addiction...many of us can't stop watching! The guitarist is Romain Axisa and he's actively releasing new music right now. Sorry if someone else has already mentioned him. The bass player is Gorran Kendall and he mostly does folk music when he's solo. I don't actually know the drummer's name or what, if any, solo music he has going. Loved watching you have fun with this one! It shows off many talents of many people, so I think it's a great showcase. And the vibe of the crowd is so much fun!

[@chezzacollinson6938]

The talent is mind bending and I love it. There is no end to Ren's talent. The Big Push is awesome. I can't listen to this without dancing around the house.

[@DogDocKat]

Such an amazing performance. I can't imagine just wandering down the street in Brighton and encountering this band playing live. Love these guys. Please check out Swan Song. It is absolutely stunning! ❤️

[@DusCostea-kt1dg]

Please try Romain's (guitarist) retake of the classic GEORGIA ON MY MIND Busking solo 🎵🎶🍯🤌🔥🙏

[@yilomina2047]

The guitarist who you mentioned is Romain Axisa - he's an amazing musician in his own right, with a beautiful voice. I would also recommend that you check out Blind Eyed, by Ren and Sam Thompkins. And if you want to go back even further in time with Ren, look at the band Trick the Fox.

[@katrinakent1684]

🎵 With a little bit of Ren, you can make it through this life…🎵

[@eturfrey]

If you want to see the guy on bass Gorran on vocals check out their last ever busk on the streets of Brighton. Lonely Boy and Paint it Black, brilliant.

[@dave.james007]

Humble

[@frankoconnor806]

I’m really appreciating your musical knowledge. After this mash up they then changed it up and did Black Sabbath “War Pigs” 🐷. The bass guitarist asked the street audience do you want a kick in the face it was another Ren genre you would really enjoy it too.

[@patcow9999]

You're so right, I stumbled upon Ren in April, so glad I did. For an old rocker like me, thought I'd seen it all, I was so wrong. These busking videos apparently, was Ren/The Big Push's first coming, several years ago, I wish I was part of that, I would so love to be in that crowd, walking through Brighton a few months ago, I stumbled on the exact place they were playing in this video. empty but I imagined all his busks there, got goosebumps! It's never too late to start your Ren journey!

[@TheStoryOfRei]

They really do draw you in. All of them are such talented musicians and artists. I’m especially loving Romain Axisa’s music right now too (main guitarist). And I second the suggestion of their cover of War Pigs from this same set. Enjoying your reactions. :) Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm with us.

[@adam.4487]

Romain Axisa is a stunning guitarist and talent is high high level, great singer also, English and French, he French :) Please one day I hope you will react to some of his stuff. Thank you!!♥

[@cbradio-su8kd]

Great reaction, and great insight, looking forward to watching you dive down the wonderful Ren and Co rabbit hole ❤

[@vickiadkins9844]

Remember " I Shot The Sherriff " when it came out on the 70's!!

[@Turntablist_Mk2]

Their busking experience means they read crowds and as they play more and more the techniques are honed so u think that it's all just a natural feeling.

[@tmkellison4016]

I believe they did WAR PIGS right after this...I love what he says about giving the crowd a massage and then kicking them in the face

[@motaman8074]

Check out Bongo Bong ( Manu Chao cover)

[@markanderson8631]

I love your reactions.. for one, I love that you let the whole song play, and then break it down.. it drives me crazy when reactors pause after every single verse, or sometimes every single line..keep it up man, love your insight from a musician’s perspective..my new favorite reactor

[@vickihammond5576]

NEW SUB for your REN ride…I loved your reaction because I know you know what you’re talking about and it makes me smile. There isn’t anyone like REN. When you learn his backstory you feel understand that his gifts/talents have been forged in the fire and he is music🙏🏽🫶🏼✌🏼

[@7cats2]

You can do it! Once you get that guitar down and start playing again, you'll get right back in the groove! Woo! Disgrosting! LOL! Love it!

[@allybandy3047]

Loved the disgrosting on your face during the song...genuine stank face ♥ Dang I missed you. Hope life continues to bring you back to reactions.

[@ChrisLawton66]

8:52 your self deprecation regarding your guitar skills speaks to my knowledge of my own rudimentary guitar skills. Liked and subbed.

[@jameswagner8746]

Great!!!!!

[@tomsmith1977]

You should be happy that your just getting into it. As I am out of new stuff to watch so I’m jonesing for money game 3. And watching you get to react is like seeing these again through new eyes. Glad your on the journey.

[@lindajohnson6514]

Very impressive 👍 I love Ren and his Versify of Skill of Music. I hear he writes, produce his own beats as well as a great Lyrical Mind 🎤🎶🎸🎼🎧🎚️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@4arrows4all]

Ren can Rap Rap. His album drops October 13 and I alrwady ordered it on vinyl and two cd’s to gift my friends.

[@MissMeKate]

Loved your reaction and now have to go and watch your other Ren reactions. ❤

[@stephaniebell4272]

Excellent! Nice to see real music coming out of a generation of production performers. Real, Real music.

[@heatherhobbit2931]

And now youve met Romain Axisa 🤗 they do a version of Biddy Guy's Whst Woman Is This thats sooooooo good! Welcome to the RENegades! 🎉

[@mdh6977]

your face said exactly what i felt the first time i saw this

[@dianeemanuel8541]

If you haven’t reacted to their Wade in The Water- Nina Simone- Trouble So Hard. This group and Ren Especially just vibrate at some primordial level that reaches people at all ages - genders and cultures.

[@sammyd8860]

You hit the nail on the head ! They don't just do cover versions. They play music that they feel. And the listeners feel it too. I haven't seen a reaction like yours for a long time (if ever). Someone who really appreciates the music for what it is. Liked/subscribed

[@peterveste6976]

I have followed Ren and the big push for years thank you for reacting to this one sending big love from the UK ❤❤❤

[@redangel169]

I think a true artist pulls you in and definitely leads you down the path of their vision.

[@terrieb13]

Love your reaction! I love this performance. There is so much more for you to discover. One of my favorites from Ren, is What You Want. Keep going on your journey! ☮️❤️😎

[@707Berto]

What a great performer to come back to doing reactions, huh?

[@Jadedxx]

Yes! Fabulous palate cleanser. One of my fave from them! Also, Praise You Fat Boy Slim cover 👌🔥

[@eturfrey]

So good, and this is 4 guys on a street corner in Brighton UK

[@alimac1469]

They are our happy place ❤

[@blairkimberlin3447]

as i said the other nigh, so glad you decided to come back for us. what i like best about your reactions is that you bring an air of gravitas when necessary but you also have fun with the music

[@-RalphSpencer-]

You have a whole catalogue of wonderful surprises ahead. I liked your less intrusive approach so I subbed. I'm curious how you will approach his bar heavy songs like "Losing it". You may have to take a breath now and then, Ren doesn't breath like the rest of us. His name is Ren GILLs

[@rowenanunn590]

I've never heard of him/ them... but I loved this!! Fantastic reaction❤️❤️

[@itsayswithoutgoing9571]

Now time for his Collabs with Chinchilla (live version of Chalk Outlines) or Eden Nash (Humble or Ocean) 🔥🔥🔥

[@TinaGregory-qv3dt]

Love this song so much

[@d2ndborn]

Checkout him and his 1st band Trick the Fox and you will see his progression. Ren was around 22 then.

[@mrsainsburys1]

Can’t wait for this one, I’ll get a drink and brb 🙏🦉❤️🐊👍

[@lisayoung4987]

Buskin videos ❤ Ren is amazing and Romain also they all are. Oh in an interview with Ren he was saying the biggest Buskin was 3 thousand people showed up to a certain corner street and even the Cops Shut down the Area. Now That's Being A Major Independent Group of Musicians

[@maddalenacherchi]

Great reaction ❤❤ More Big Push! Love from Italy ❤

[@jeffmartin_UK]

Absolutely perfect reaction! Thank you! X

[@kimmicakes]

Love The Big Push! ❤

[@donnaewe3692]

I think i heard Ren say once in an interview that he learned how to play guitar by watching jimmy hendrix videos, watching him play & rewinding over & over 😉 Fellow Renegades, pls correct me if im mistaken 😉 much love fam❤

[@UKmarlee]

Success rollin out!😊

[@dannythedoodle]

Great reaction to Ren 👍 Even though I don't agree with EVERYTHING that Lowkey says, it's a Zeitgeist. Lowkey - Fire in the Booth
