Hi Dean , you also blew my mind that you spotted those 1974 guitars and went to the trouble to research them. But your right if he did that it’s beyond perfectionist. It’s insane commitment to everything he does Thanks for your amazingly uncut full reactions. I am loving them. Best
Creating the drum and bass rhythm discussion was illuminating. Heck, everything dissected is fascinating. As a listener, we can pick up that there's something special but not necessarily know what it is. Here, we learn from our professor some of the specifics and I find this delightful. Chris Liepe is the vocal coach reactor mentioned.
Starts with an instrumental of the Police followed with Smokey Robinson, inserts Custom rap, ends with Sting of the police. You caught a lot for your listen that shows the genius of Ren.
I just watched a bts of Ren mixing these live sessions. He loves doing production he went through all the EQ and Reverb add ons he used. It was fascinating.
Your level of detail is amazing. I am fascinated by the "way" you listen and dissect music. Fantastic education for those of us who simply like what we listen to but without much understanding. Thank you so very much!
The original song is not from 1974. It was released at the end of 2023. If I’m not mistaken, it is not even about 1974, it’s about an address. But Ren turned it into nostalgia and the year 1974. I am so glad that I found your channel. You bring something different to the table. I really appreciate these musical break downs. I’m a person who listens so hard to the lyrics that I almost perceive the music as a homogen wall. You help me to hear, understand and appreciate all the little intricasies in that ”wall”. Thank you!
9:08, that's his 1995 Japanese Fender Telecaster with sunburst finish, which he's had for years and uses all the time as his favorite electric guitar. He's also had that Fender Precision bass for years. Please check countless videos with The Big Push to see these two guitars used repeatedly for the past few years.
Rens had that bass and tele for years. The tele is a 1995 Japanese Fender, the bass is a Fender Precision Bass.

First let me say I know next to nothing about guitars. I do, though, absolutely believe that Ren would pay attention to that kind of detail & appreciated your explanation. Then, just a few minutes later, still watching Ren/Big Push videos, I thought I saw both guitars again - Ren playing the 1974 & Gorran playing the 1960. So I scrolled thru the pictures of Big Push videos & I think they show up again & again.
Yep! It seems I missed that fact...so it's fun having multiple hard core Renegades putting me in my place :) I'm going to claim that both are at least vintage replicas to save face :)
If you have a bad heart and CANNOT get on a roller coaster- just listen to ren, you will get the same feeling. Great reaction, i subbed you taught me a lot about the music/ Thank you!
another great reaction dean!! i love how ren spotted how he could merge both of these tracks together and even played a bit of the message in a bottle guitar in back on 74 earlier on in it. very clever!!
Interesting about the guitars, but I was thinking REN’s was his favourite Japanese Fender Telecaster he used a lot in the Big Push. Is it a coincidence?
Good one re the pickup hit - how the hell did I miss that!! Not sure re the 74 guitar thingy as back on 74 refers to a place rather than a time. Could well be right tho …
Apparently Ren made it more "time" although the original is apparently "place". ...and I've been corrected on the guitar ACTUALLY being his 1995 Japanese tele ....but I'm sure it's based on the early models, soooo, I'm taking that as a pass lol.👍
About 74 (guitars, song, etc.) : The song is not from 1974, but 2023. Similarly, the song doesn't reference 1974 at all. It's intentionally ambiguous about what 74 is. Highway 74? 74th Street? Independence day? who knows?
I am not so sure those are actually vintage guitars. Fender has never stopped making the Telecaster and Precision Bass since they were introduced (1950, 1951 respectively - though the Telecaster was first known as the Broadcaster and then the Nocaster). Tobacco sunburst is one of the colors that is almost always in rotation for fender finishes. Also, Ren has owned those guitars for years. He can be seen playing them during his The Big Push years. Those could both have very modern appointments, or they could have vintage appointments if they are newer. My guess is they are not that vintage, because Ren probably wouldn't have had the resources to buy true vintage instruments. I think I remember him saying the Telecaster was an American model (versus Japanese or Mexican), but that might be memories mixed in my head. Either way, I believe neither the guitar nor bass are over 20 years old. Even the picture of the bass that you showed is not actually a 1960. The American Vintage II series is a current production line (only a few years old, newer than Ren's bass would be). They are based roughly on vintage specs, but they are not exact. Fender always leaves room for the next line of "vintage" guitars to be more period correct. They's had many models based on vintage specs over the years. Most recently the American Originals, American Vintage, American Original II and American Vintage II. But those four lines only go back to 1982. Other models, like the new American Professional series has more modern appointments, but they look the same unless you know what to look for. They also come in Tobacco Sunburst. That being said, even if they aren't actually vintage instruments, nor have vintage specs, they look the part.
Yup......someone corrected me in the comments and you are certainly correct :) I'll play it safe and say that at least he chose instruments that looked the part...:)
Oh you pointed out so many things in this song that I should have picked up on but somehow missed or wasn't tuned in to... you are a treasure. I'm about to marathon watch most of your entire channel for a few hours here... 🧞♂️🧞♀️🧞

Ren is very precise on the production of his tracks. He talks with Elizabeth on the Charismatic Voice channel about it during an interview

It's a pleasure. I'm learning too lol
I forgot to add that I am working my way through your amazing original album. Everyone should try to check it out

{BACK ON 74}
Keep it rockin', doin’ the same thing
And we get high on the breakdown
And we were watching from the same time
But that don't change what I think now.
And we were talking 'bout the same crime
No, we don't hide when it rains now
I learned my lesson at the same time
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh where did it
Go, back on 74
Call this place my home
Never gonna cry anymore
Where did it all go
Ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh
Keep it rockin', doin' the same thing
And we get high on the break down
And we were watching from the same time
But that don't change what I think now
And we were talking 'bout the same crime
No, we don't hide when it rains now
I learned my lesson at the same time
Ooh, where did it
Go, back on 74 (when I noticed you)
Call this place my home
Never gonna cry anymore
Where did it all
Go, let it go
Let it go
Ooh, let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Ooh

Let's take em back to 74 inherently poor/pour
Myself on the (Break down)
Talk is secondary, first my speciality,
Naughty bars on a (Take down)
Rap/wrap like nicotine, sound so addicting,
Click click Zippo flick, caddy daddy hit the green
Soak up dopamine, I mean dope scheme
Take more head than the blade of a guillotine, uh
Filipina - you shoulda seen her
She likes girls but I turned Tina
Angelina wanna raid her tomb
Ocarina with the Zelda moves
Sound so smooth, wax strip groove
Don't stay still when I make that move
Thought for food, colour scheme nude
Massive like jungle, shy but rude
And the world is yours,
That's a Nas shout out with an awkward…pause
Cos the world is flawed
when the power makes money and the money makes wars
And the world is more than a place in space on a spinning ball
But for now that's all, back to 1974
Go, back on 74
Call this place my home
Never gonna cry anymore
Where did it all go
Ooooh ooooh

Another fantastic musical breakdown! Where are all the Renegades? Let’s get them over here!

Thank you for this awesome reaction !
Thank you for a different kind of breakdown, really enjoyed finding out about all the little details of what he's crafted here. New sub
Hell Bro
Now that was a 10 out of 10 analysis
Nice my man 👍
That is awesome about the guitars. Great work seeing that.
What a fascinating and informative reaction. Just had to subscribe.💕👍🦇
Fab breakdown
Enjoyed your perspective on this reaction love the vibe of this performance!
Interesting about the guitars, but I was thinking REN’s was his favourite Japanese Fender Telecaster he used a lot in the Big Push. Is it a coincidence?
You are 100% correct :)
Ren always had that Japanese Telek & the same Bass guitar. If you checkout the TBP busking sessions.
Thanks! I've been educated :) It did make a great conspiracy theory though :)
I enjoyed this reaction video. Good job.
Good one re the pickup hit - how the hell did I miss that!!

Yea. I think the backing vocalists, music style etc are very retro..so maybe it's about driving Highway 74 in 1974 lol

@@theguywithabow It's not really a big deal. It's easy to see how one might come to that conclusion without having background knowledge.
