[REACTION!] Old Rock Radio DJ REACTS to FALLING IN REVERSE ft. "Last Resort" (Reimagined)

[@yellowroseoftexas6170]

it's not a cover or a remix, it's a maturity. We hear the same song as we did in our youth, making us feel one way. Then, as an adult, hearing the same song with new clarity

[@AndieO]

If this is your intro to. Ronnie Radke and Falling In Reverse, you are in for quite a ride. He is his own genre, and doesn't disappoint. ❤ ❤ Thanks for this reaction.

[@bartonbagnes4605]

Ronnie is an incredible artist, with a wide range of vocal abilities. I never paid attention to the lyrics in the original, but Ronnie makes you feel the lyrics. Ronnie has done a few reimagined versions of his old songs that are pure masterpieces. His videos are always very theatrical, on a movie level.

[@Spunky62]

Jacoby's reaction was PRICELESS! ✌️🫶🔥🎶

[@CoryChapman-u9l]

Popular Monster, Voices in my Head, Zombified, Watch the World Burn, The Trilogy. Everything they do is awesome! Get to see Ronnie tomorrow night. Second time this year!

[@deadfall8475]

Song brought me to tears first time I heard it. Ronnie did it again. I grew up on the original, and it struck home on a different way, in my youthful anger. This, in my older age, reminds me the cry for help the anger hid. It's an amazing reimagining.

[@ExTiNkT91]

Falling in Reverse is great. His name is Ronnie. He can rap, sing, scream, he's a genre bender. Fantastic musician.

[@EriBerry1981]

I saw where someone said this song was originally for angsty teens; this version is for adults who need healing. And I felt that

[@Grimes247]

This was the best reaction to this song that I have seen. I really like that you don't stop the video because a lot of times that takes away the feeling of the song to the viewer. I thought it was great that your taking notes and genuinely listening to the song then talking about it after. Thank you this was a great reaction.

[@bridgetmccracken1381]

Ronnie took this to another level!! He made you feel each and every word, each and every emotion!! The arrangement adding to the feel so amazing!

[@Sheildmaiden957]

No matter how much I’ve listened to this song, my chest hurts the same way every single time. Its definitely FELT. Great reaction.

[@deborahpoulin8065]

This is the first time I have seen any of your videos/reactions. Watching you trying to keep your cool and maintaining that cool, made me realize you get it. I was singing along to it, as tears were streaming down my face, because I get it too. So doesn't Ronnie. His reimaging of this song was nothing short of incredible. I have been to dark places in my life. This song resonates with me so much. I do agree that this song should have some kind of warning on it, because it will trigger many people struggling with depression, etc. He made me listen to the lyrics all over again, in a completely different way than the original all those years ago. Papa Roach was aggressively rapping so to speak. Ronnie took this to another level and makes people feel. He brings out the sadness and emotional tiredness of people today. His vocal range. Such talent. OMG! This man can do anything. Seriously. I am also so sorry to hear about your wife. I am sorry you can't listen to certain music anymore, and again, I get it. Loss just sucks. I've had my share. It's life, and it won't stop for anyone. Thank you for this reaction and I will pray for your continued healing.

[@amandavanwyk5424]

I ❤Falling in Reverse SO MUCH. Please go down this rabbit hole. Frontman Ronnie Radke will blow you out of your chair. He’s done another reimagined track, but to one of his own older songs. The Drug in Me is You turned into The Drug in Me is Reimagined. There’s also I’m Not a Vampire which they redid and turned into I’m Not a Vampire Revamped. Watch the World Burn is another newer song, which came out a few months ago. Popular Monster is another good one.

[@bridgetmccracken1381]

I concur

[@fawnwalker7855]

I concur, but if you do the old and new pairs of songs, do them in the same video for each pair: The Drug in Me is You (2011) and The Drug in Me is Reimagined (2020) I'm Not a Vampire (2011) and I'm Not a Vampire Revamped (2021). The difference in a decade is stark. The new versions are so different it seems to change the meaning of the lyrics.

[@janihaavisto79]

I concur on 2 songs. Popular Monster is maybe a good song Eric to hear so he knows what they play in tours. Also I'm not a Vampire shows of Ronnie's great vocal capabilities really well.

[@ConcurpaRich]

I concur

[@Hellbunny1978]

I concur to all of these songs

[@nancyhoffhines3607]

If u want more FIR u should do POPULAR MONSTER, OR VOICES INMY HEAD.

[@bookem5537]

Ronnie has a whole catalog of bangers

[@suevick637]

He gave angst, pain...sorrow and desperation. My husband passed almost 3 yrs ago. I find solice in sad music. Tears are good for the soul. Thought and prayers for your loss.

[@TimoArula]

This song now hits like a freight train of emotions.... Beautiful !!!!!

[@april6058]

Enjoyed your honest reaction.This song make me tear up as well. Falling in Reverse and Papa Roach were recently on tour together; there is a video of Ronnie (FIR- singer) showing Jacoby the unmixed track- it great.

[@bartonbagnes4605]

I concur.

[@andyx25]

Great reaction, thank you! I was 19 years old when the song came out, and I felt it was a kind of anthem of the revolution of youth. Now I'm 42, I'm the father of a 14-year-old son, and when I hear FIR's version now, it brings unstoppable tears to my eyes. In 2006 my mother died, in 2019 my father died and now the lyrics have a completely different meaning for me than when I was 19. Some lines hit me very hard and every time!

[@Lions1986]

someone in the comments of another reaction to this song said it perfectly IMO. Papa Roaches version was awesome and it made me think of a young adult mad at the world just screaming his pain away. This version was more somber and was like someone begging for help and they made you feel the lyrics. some of the lyrics i didnt even know what was actually said because i would just rock out to the papa roach version and not really listen to the lyrics. here you are forced to hear and listen to the lyrics and it hits hard

[@Neptune-Rain93]

Ronnie is, was and always will be an absolute must and permanent part of my life. From his days in Escape the Fate to his starting days of FiR into now. His growth from his voice to the person he is has been nothing short of amazing. He's amazing, he's incredible.

[@everdreamer5112]

Beautiful to see your authentic ✨️ reaction. and yes Welcome to Falling in Reverse... and Ronnie 👏 enjoy exploring and being inspired

[@meganflick82]

Falling in reverse just toured the beginning of the year with papa roach and Hollywood undead. Ronnie was nervous the whole time showing this to jacoby. Please check out that video because it is so cool to watch one artist to another. He showed this to jacoby before it was released and jacoby was just in aww of it. Ronnie gets so much hate because of his past and his brutal honesty its honestly pathetic. He is a very talented artist. From rap to operatic and everything in between! He started with Escape The Fate then formed Falling In Reverse while in Prison. The day he was released from prison FIR was in the studio recording their first album The Drug In Me Is You. Please check out more if Falling In Reverse. I honestly do not think you will be disappointed.

[@lauriwest435]

I felt this deep in my soul... and I only heard the original song a few days after this version was released, at the suggestion of my 32 year old son. We watched the re-imagined version together and we both had tears in our eyes. Okay, I was bawling! Incredible, makes me cry every time!

[@deannafossen7682]

I am a huge FIR fan, that’s what brought me to you, thank you for your amazing reaction! You have a new sub, I hope to watch, go down the rabbit hole further

[@nathonbrewer7775]

Sorry for your loss. First time watching your reaction. I hope you find the peace you are searching for.

[@jessedwards3209]

You should do his im not a vimpire revamped and the drug in me reimagined both his songs revamped 10 years apart

[@tailsof1leo180]

Yes but but do the older versions first so you can appreciate the reimagined versions

[@Laurael626]

I had this song on repeat after it was released. I will always love Papa Roach version but this gives me chills every time I hear it. Thank you for your reaction.

[@KevinHollisWI]

Eric, this brought me to tears when I first heard it. As many know, when my mom passed away 2 years ago, after taking care of her for 5 years, I was in this STAGE. I was lost and thinking of doing the worst imaginable. Somehow Music brought me back and discovered new friends, you included, and created a new AMAZING life. I feel for anyone who can relate to this! ❤❤❤❤

[@janihaavisto79]

My condolences. My mother passed away 2021 after having crippling case of what's it in English? You know fingers start to go wrong from joints. She had hip replacement surgery, it was right when Covid hit Europe and Finland too. I took care of her over 3 years also. And she passed away being in hospital after I called ambulance because she suddenly stopped breathing during sleep. She was revived but was back only few minutes every day, then slept rest if the day. Doctor's said her heart gave out after battleling so long with joint pain and surgeries.

[@KevinHollisWI]

I’m sorry to hear that, it is hard losing a mother, especially when it is a prolonged agony. Sometimes it is the hardest thing you have to go through. I’m thankful you were there for her. My deepest sympathies for your loss. ❤️

[@dummyemail8179]

Im 60 and listen to a wide variety of music leaning in to rock as my favorite always. But this guy here, STAIT BLEW ME OFF MY SEAT WITH MY MOUTH HANGIN WIDE OPEN!! Immediately response after was Holy s*** what was that I gotta see it again. Lol, I went immediately into an Absolute loop of repeat, play again. It is just deniable that this guy can bring it 17 different ways from Sunday, and it's all at the top of the game. A rare thing these days And so I have found myself a huge Ronnie fan and every new exposure to any of his material justifies this to me. Take the ride its well worth it.

[@JoelLloyd-hr7cq]

Wow, that was an unbelievable reaction. I could see how hard that one hit you. ❤️🙏 Don’t worry, you’re not alone. This song was a big part of my younger years but has now taken on something far more at an emotional level. Such an incredible performance by Ronnie. For me it’s tears and goosebumps every time with this one. Hope you continue to enjoy more Falling In Reverse, Eric. You will not be disappointed. 🇦🇺👍

[@Calitony5150]

Hit so hard hearing it this way new appreciation for the original

[@tiffymcconkey]

There is a youtube video of Ronnie having Jacoby listen to it. It was recorded on Ronnies cell phone, him and a piano. Jacoby loved it

[@louofm1]

I fell down the Ronnie radke rabbit hole in late 2019 and haven't looked back. He is today's Freddy Mercury. Little by little, he is becoming a legend. So very sorry for the loss of your wife.

[@ThunderThumz]

How am I just finding you.. my man I cannot tell you how enlightening it is to listen to someone critique and react to music with knowledge and sophistication for a lack of a better term. Bravo 👏🏼 new sub. Months late haha

[@debbyshannon7242]

My Heart is with You❤

[@candi_renee_28]

Falling in Reverse is a rabbit hole I highly suggest you go down and explore. I found them last year and I found every video since their 1st album in 2011. Ronnie was in Escape the Fate for their 1st album as well. Popular Monster (2019) on they’ve been on fire. They also Reimagined 2 of their older songs, a trilogy. I hope Ronnie finds this reaction. He tends to react to reactions of his songs for feedback when he gets time on his Twitch channel. They are on a break on their tour as they have upcoming dates still.

[@sarawaters3723]

That was a great reaction. You listened. Thank you.

[@BigCsy]

I loved your summarization of this at the end! Can put things into words much better than I can. Thank you for your reaction

[@AmyLarien]

It's the same for me, some of my favourite music of all time I just can't listen to for the same reason: it hurts too much. I feel you on this ❤

[@luvL3e]

Loved yr reaction. Its beautiful to see u moved to tears

[@jasminwolf7412]

Yessss finalyyy! Falling in Reverse and Nightwish are my fav bands ❤ please do more of them 🙏🏼

[@lisawheeler4465]

I love Nightwish too! ❤

[@LDBHX]

Definitely more Falling in Reverse please I just re discovered them not long ago after couple years Now that's totally different level And Ronnie got some pipes 👍🤘

[@jeffk1482]

Glad you did this one man! I think we all knew from the get-go what the outcome, your opinion, would be. “Re-imagining” almost doesn’t cover it…more like an artistic overhaul? Creative re-tool? Whatever, everything about it is stunning, right down to the Inception-esque video presentation. ART.

[@sarialanko8483]

There is still hope for the world. With 💕 from 🇫🇮 & 🇺🇦.

[@DarlaAnne]

Such an insightful reaction and so sorry for the loss of your wife. This song definitely brings out deeply locked in emotions, or should I say this "re-imagining". I have seen some people say that Papa Roach's version was the angry anthem for young people at the time and this version is for the adults still carrying around those buried emotions of pain.

[@MistressMandi]

I’d be interested to see you react to Ronnie’s reimagined versions of his own music.

[@boshiken4914]

So powerful

[@rog2224]

Sean Cooney's arrangements are always solid.

[@remtac762]

Now that was a reaction video. Nice job sir!

[@lisawheeler4465]

I love your reaction and I'm sorry for your loss of your wife. I lost my husband 7 years ago when I was 36 and pregnant with our daughter.

[@fahfah2010]

You're going for a ride with FIR..

[@xraysteve]

This is my first time on your channel. My condolences on the loss of your wife. I hope one day you can revisit music from the past and focus on remembering the happiness of the past rather than the sadness of the present.

[@angielee6125]

As Ronnie matures his music does too, he’s a very talented and imaginative man, he puts emotion into these reimagined songs, he produces experiences, that’s a very special talent on its own ❤ What makes this even more special is Jacoby’s reaction to the “unmixed raw version” Ronnie showed him and his reaction when he saw the finished one 😢❤

[@edwierdbrown3325]

You got my sub with this video. I hope you do more falling in reverse.

[@t.nobody120]

Well you are Brilliant! Loved your reaction, came here for them! Subscribed because of you! 👏👏👏 ✌❤T.NoBoDY

[@dillonhayes3402]

I watch a lot of reactions especially to these guys this was great you got a new sub

[@janihaavisto79]

Hola ENRICO!... 👀👀 Eeeh, Eric I meant. Have to say I like Ronnie's Reimagined stuff. Usually their Reimagined versions are from their own songs. Like I'm not an Vampire, and I am sure people will suggest other stuff too. For me all began from song called Popular Monster. You should have a try Eric. It's a good song, and lyrically speaking it has great meaning.

[@Thespore64]

Great reaction video!

[@sandpitt82]

I enjoyed your reaction mate you gained a new subscriber well done nice to see realness

[@marloeslaughter8688]

Good sir, Falling in Reverse is a rabbit hole that will consume you, if you let it. Ronnie Radke (pronounced Rad-key) has had a very eventful life, full of hardships and hatred, and he isn’t afraid to discuss it or fire back at those who are verbal against him. This song came after one of his biggest songs and music videos that addressed so much of the hate that he receives after having fixed his life, and in this song/video he addresses that he is not fine, and some of the things he has done/said come from a dark place… The reimagining of such an iconic song has never been done this way, and it was utilized in the most spectacular way possible for Ronnie while still paying tribute to Jacoby and Papa Roach! Ronnie has reimagined 2 of his own songs with 10 years difference between the originals and their new versions, and they are spectacular! If you decide to dive down the rabbit hole, I will continue to watch! Love the way you broke this down for us, and I’m looking forward to more!

[@davidlebarron286]

If you want to check out more falling in reverse there are a few original songs that they reimagined and also a trilogy, but strap yourself in because every song is a completely different style or a combination of styles most people wouldn’t be able to make work but falling in reverse makes them all work.

[@exery8940]

This song's feel reminds me of linkin park. So many emotions. Thank you for reaction

[@paulseizert6603]

Thoughts of ending life early is a subject matter that I struggle with. In my mind I have a inner monologue with myself of what gives life its worth. I visualize a scale and everything worth living for is on one side and everything not worth living for is on the other. In this moment I am extremely blessed with so many things to out weigh the other side of the scale. I’m scared of losing my blessings. My daughter and my two sons and my wife. I lost my father when I was 15 so I know how death creeps up out of no where and can take anything and everything indiscriminately and change those scales. I can’t imagine losing my daughter. The pain will be unbearable and I don’t think I will be able to even put a scale to it. Losing my wife will break me. I think I will be able to stay strong for the sake of my children but losing my children will do me in. I play out these scenarios to somehow prepare myself but it just haunts me. I put this facade of being strong to the world but I am weak and barely holding on.

[@Medicinemen100]

This hit me like it did you. I've a whole back catalogue of music I can't listen to since losing my lady. I'll never hear The Doors 'Indian Summer' again. Peace to you. Keep on Keeping on

[@MaRoach7]

There is a video of a nervous Ronnie letting Jacoby hear the unmixed verion and Jacoby loved it

[@ronnieradkefaneurope]

Lead singer ronnie radke is an incredible singer, he can sing,scream,rap❤️🤘

[@MegaDog555]

good job Ronnie

[@Dreamcatch3r99]

Pleas listen to more of Falling In Reverse. Ronnie Radke is a master mind with music he can literally do anything and has done plenty of stuff in all types of music. Cant wait for you to see more

[@LeperMessiah2]

Oh man I can tell you about Ronnie if you give me 1 hour of your time. In short, his growth as a person from 2012 when his daughter was born is remarkable. Ronnie and Jacoby are friends btw and there is a longer video of Jacoby's first time listen. Ronnie is shaking of nervosity during the whole playthrough.

[@lexiepaigeh]

Here for the incoming FIR deep dive

[@ronnieradkefaneurope]

Me to 🙌

[@MaRoach7]

Subbed for more Falling In Reverse. Dive down the rabbithole. You wont be disappointed

[@aveemarie268]

They hvae been rockin since 2010-2011. Ronnie Radke was the lead singer/frontman for the band Escape the Fate when thay first started. ❤ You should really start with FIRs "Popular Monster" then "Zombified" and😊 then go with "Voices in my Haed." This will be a rabbithole you will have fun going down❤

[@helenhoward5346]

Condolences about your wife. Time is an overwhelming bitch that's ever present.

[@BryanBaranski]

🙋🏻‍♂️here

[@NEURO-yh8to]

New to you & sub 👍. Really fine reaction. Your comments cover Ronnie and this great reimagined song. My thought on your loss is pretty much summed up by this band name. Live your life like every second is your last - which it is because it'll never happen again and do something good every day as you say. BUT it's okay to embrace your best times with a smile and a tear and fall in reverse with the 90s, 2000 music where life has gifted you those memories - some of which will live on only with you, your music and your wife who deserves to be honoured and remembered. Take it easy of yourself. Nice to meet you. David 🇬🇧

[@TheWyldesidewithEricClark]

Thank you David. I woke up to this and it helped me start my day feeling good, so thank you for your kind words and taking the time to write them. Cheers, Eric

[@4seven11]

⚡️🤟⚡️

[@sebamylexa4962]

I think Ronnie gives the text the right, worthy framework. The Papa Roach version is too rocky for the seriousness of the lyrics. That's exactly what Ronnie conveys in this song, the pain and the fight with and against evil thoughts. Surely only people who have psychological problems and fight their demons every day can understand this. How often her mental world collapses and threatens to bury her. How many times do you think, “I can’t go on like this” and fight your way out, only to find again and again, “Nothing is okay.” But you keep fighting, every day. They fight with all their strength against being buried under their collapsing world. The sad thing is that too many people lose this battle, ultimately running out of strength and being buried under their collapsing world.

[@MaRoach7]

Ronnie Radke musical genius. Try Falling In Reverse's 2011 song The Drug In Me Is You then The Drug In Me Is Reimagined 10 yrs later

[@hellrider224]

It was good. I give it an 8 But it's much better the original! When you hear "Last Resort" it's gonna be hard to associate it with the FIR version just 'cause the original version riff is unmistakable which marked a generation and a genre, my opinion.. The Clansman (live Rock in Rio 2001) - Iron Maiden La Cantata del Diablo (live Mexico 2017) - Mago de Öz----- > just a Master piece Hijo de la Luna - Stravaganzza The Crown And The Ring (Lament Of The Kings)Live 2008 - Manowar Design your Universe (live Retrospect) / Cry for the Moon(live Retrospect) - Epica I remember you - Skid Row (live) Soulbound - Unleash the Archers Burning Time (live) / Dracula - Iced Earth Ategnatos / King - Eluveitie

[@Raphsody86]

🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏👏🤗

[@1320crusier]

Im sorry for your loss. I do hope you can find some peace. To be honest, when I first heard this version I didnt really like it. A couple months later I decided to give it another chance and really watch and listen. Yep. A song that brought out so much anger when it was first released brought out a lot of sadness.

[@tylerday7465]

New sub here, loved the reaction. If you could please react to “Parkway Drive - Wild Eyes live at Wacken” I’d appreciate it. Wonderful performance

[@redfury55]

Ronnie Radke brings a whole different "feel" to this song. Papa Roach's version I loved for the anger at that time. Ronnie brings another level to it. There's a short clip I saw where Jacoby is with Ronnie listening to a not quite finished listen, and Jacoby loved it.
