This is actually Ronnie's house and that's his girlfriend. He's actually the one playing the piano. He's clean and sober now. Derrick Jones was part of the band. Also, if you didn't notice, they covered all of his tattoos for this. Also Also, hope you are doing well. Recovery is tough as hell but it's the right path and it takes alot of courage.
thanks so much for all the detail and well wishes! greatly appreciated.
@Jonathan Hiller OH and his girlfriend is famous in her own right she was (is) Paige the wrestler. Real name is Saraya.
He actually isn't playing the piano on this song. He said in a Twitch stream. But he also said that he CAN play it...but just mimicked it for the video
It was an Irish composer/pianist called Sean Rooney that done the piano for this song and The Drug in Me is Reimagined. Another masterpiece!
It’s not his house at all. Jesus. I see this all over reactions to I’m not a vampire reimagined and it irritates me. There is even an another band that shot music video in this mansion before FIR did. It’s not his house.
This video actually won some awards, rightly so. The suggestion below for other FIR songs are great, but from a production standpoint, Popular Monster has done great camera work, Zombified has some great CGI and makeup, and Voices in My Head has lots of great stunt work. Ronnie is the genius behind FIR. He does everything, from lyrics, beats, and instrumentation, to conceptual ideas for the videos. He collaborates, of course, but he is the mind behind it all. Since the band's formation, band members have come and gone, but the music maintains the same vision. I hope you continue down the FIR rabbit hole. You create great content!
He may not come up with every idea but he is the reason such an amazing product comes out Everytime. I know the classical rendition idea was actually made by a fan, which is pretty cool.
People often forget how angelic of a voice Ronnie has, this man continues to melt my heart when I hear his clean vocals on this. And as a fellow recovery addict, I wish you nothing but the best and a healthy recovery.
i lovr Ronnie. ecape the fate and falling in reverse is amaizng just because he sang and wrote for them.
Derek jones was the lead guitarist in falling in reverse. He passed away a few years back.
This song is so good and his gf who is in this admitted she use to be suicidal before she meet Ronnie and doing that scene was hard at first but after doing it helped her fight her depression. I recently saw him live and after every song he says thank you with such genuine sincerity that shows how passionate he is with his music and to his fans for getting him where he is today.
i've seen FiR multiple times, when i first saw them in 2015 or 2016, he was also saying "thank you" after every song, wishing people a great day (it was a multi stage event), making sure people are staying safe getting taxi's all that. very different from other bands that were talking about their roots or inspirations or all that. ronnie was very focused on making sure the crowd was happy and that everyone knew how appreciative he was that people showed up. easily went from one of my favorite bands to THE favorite after that experience, i still remember that 30-40 minute performance clearly to this day.
@@GreenTurts Hell ya I'm in a few months seeing Falling in Reverse again but this time bringing my best friend with he said it will be an early birthday present to himself lol. Also FIR was the first concert I paid to go see the concert years before that was KISS for my dad as a gift bc that is his fav band. But FIR that concert to me was the best and made me smile so much where if he is playing near me and I have the money I'm going bc the vibe he puts in the place just feels great.
Yes! My favorite remastered song of theirs to date!
I love the story we are given throughout the visual takes and audible tracks. The fact we open up with, in all the sense of the phrase, a ghost walking through her memories. We see how she admired him but didn't want to approach. How she hid away from what was happening, turning a blind eye to the death circling around her. Until, finally, she had enough. She left him, thinking it was the best, but her heart could not, so she comes back just in time to witness him at his lowest. Fueled by the loss of her, of the added on pressure of the townsfolk starting to notice, and his own need to kill to survive. "Where is my self-control?" The emotions are high here - and our ghost, once living, decides that she can't leave him but also can't live with him. Not as she is. Either she will die by a blade or be born again by love. Despite that, despite knowing he shouldn't, he gives her a second chance, a new life - the opportunity to be equals with him. To share this dark fate. Except... as fate often does, it found an ending. The townsfolk dragged him away. This monster, the killer of men, and forced him into the light. Figuratively and metaphorically. Or was it on purpose - was the evil seeking redemption for what he has done? And as he burned away to ash she too stood against the rising sun. With no fear nor regrets she accepted fate once more. For she could not live with him or without him.
so glad!
I loved the video, but your narration is top notch! Loved going through your comment
Wow, I love this!!!! I've watched the music video so many times but you pointed out a lot of things about the story that I missed. Now the video has taken on more beauty, and I'm back to watching it on repeat. Thank you for "Revamping" my love for this video. Hahaha, sorry, I had to
I really enjoy that you didn't pause the video every 10 seconds. You let it play and just appreciated the video. Well done.
Thank you so much for covering FIR so much, love the analysis!! Keep it up!
thanks so much, will do!
Ronnie is so talented he has haters. That clearly means he is doing the right thing. This is a beautiful take of the first version and shows so much more imagination and maturity. As far as I am aware there only two tracks he has 're-invented- - this and The Drug in Me is You. Goosebumps in both. I think I commented on your post to As the World Burns that it would be great to see your reactions to a few other songs - I love the music and the creativity of the clips, which some have commented they felt like they had watched a movie. Like your reactions and havesubscribed to check out what else you do. Thanks for this video.
I can't help but giggle every intro where you say "content you may have seen in places like these" Troy McClure from Simpsons pops into my head "you may remember me from such". Idk if that's intended but it makes me happy every time I hear it.
The Dedication at the end for Derek is one of the band members that they had for quite some time, since their early days. Hes the guitarist who recently passed right before this video
Derek Jones was the leas guitarrist of the band who passed few years ago. He was Ronnie's (the vocalist) best friend
Absolutely agree this is Absolutely amazing. When you lived the addict life and entertainment as well. It can become so dark and you do lose all hope. Love this
8 years in recovery now but always will be an addict.
Derek Jones was the bassist and guitarist of the band, in Dec, 2019, Derek's fiancee passed away from breast cancer. In February 2020 just after lockdown took effect, Derek Jones passed away from unknown causes. He was one of Ronnie's best friends and it was devastating for him.
If you really want to see their change and how amazing they are they comparison between the drug in me is you original and the remastered version is insane. I’ve loved this band for years and I’m so happy with what they’re doing now. It’s beautiful.
I watch this so many times a day as I watch so many reaction videos at work each night 😂 love it.
Also just wanted to say congratulations on the sobriety! I am also a recovering addict. 20.5 years clean from heroin 🖤
That had to be quite an interesting jump from Watch the world burn to I'm not a vampire revamped. Ronnie is the best versatile vocalist out there.
This song is actually about his battle with addiction.. subbed for being in recovery also!
I was there for the birth of MTV & music videos were a huge part of my childhood and teenage life but then it stopped, which is why I find it refreshing that bands are once again embracing the visual artistry that comes with their music. This video in particular left no stone unturned and paid close attention to smallest of details. Absolutely fantastic
I know this has already been suggested but it needs to be said again because it is that good .....Falling in Reverse The Drug in Me Reimagined. It is similar to this one in that he remade one of his older songs with the exact same lyrics but in a beautiful rock opera way.
I love this version of the song and would love a full album of this style.
For suggestions, a lot of Ice Nine Kills music videos tell a connected story and are horror based.
I really wish this can be a long movie tho. Who knows you'll cooperate with Ronnie to make it real, Johnathan 😍
I'm not here to suggest another FIR song. I'm here because you clearly know the path to go down for amazing production, instrumentation, vocals and more. I'm glad to have a video reaction channel that reacts to both the artist/band AND the production behind it. Recovery is a pain but it's also a blessing and music and video production are outlets for us no doubt. Alright we need more uploads!!
Derek Jones was the band's guitarist. He died in April 2020, 5 months after his partner had died of cancer. Jones' cause of death has not been released. He was only 35 years old.
''Everything'' has a reason to exist.. wow! That is deep! Makes me think about a lot❤
Hi Johnathan, The tribute at the end is to the bands Guitarist who unfortunately passed away in 2020.. Great Video!
thanks for the context. appreciate that.
just found your channel when you reacted to Watch the World burn, then I was thinking like "well, you definitely should check out revamped" and then you uploaded this reaction, thank you
it's not just a video, it's a masterpiece itself
Yeah this song was originally about being an addict. Being a Vampire is how they suck the life out of everything around them, the zombie line is a reference to how he felt on the drugs. The ReVamping of the song just takes it to another place bringing the vampire theme to the nth degree. I'd suggest you listen to the original song even if you don't react to it because I feel it hits home more with the addict/recovery theme. The video is really good for the time it was made. (10 years before the ReVamp)
Oh man, I love you, thank you for point out all of that important detail that I don't really pay attention to. Please I'm begging you, check out they're other Music Video, seeing this type of video explanation is my favorite things.
I like how they foreshadow as when Ronnie is digging and it cuts back to the lady as she sews you can hear slightly a slicing noise
Derek Jones sadly passed and was an original member of Falling In Reverse as the bands guitarist
I would also suggest The Drug In Me Is (Reimagined). It's another visually stunning one from them
agreed!!!
Been waiting for this
This is probably the most epic song I have ever heard and the most epic music video I have seen. Experiencing it through your eyes really gives it some new perspectives. I also highly value your honest reactions and the fact that you are speaking out about mental health problems and addiction from your own unfortunate experience. Thank you.
First time I watched I'm not a Vampire I got serious goosebumps. I completely understand you dude it's an event watching Ronnie Radke. The guy's a phenomenal performer and the production of his material is top drawer.
I’ve been waiting for this!! This just made my day so much better
so glad!
I've seen and heard this song soooooo many times and it still gives me goosebumps
Keep it up with your recovery!! Stay strong!
I used to hang out with him back in the day. We were all young and wild and doing dumb things. Things were crazy. I havent seen anything from him in a while good to see he is doing well.
This song still gives me goosebumps even after all this time. 🖤
Pure masterpiece!!!
You have an entire rabbit hole to journey down now... between Ronnie's history, his feuds with other artists and then just his talent in general... it's a whole world. Have fun and enjoy there's a lot out there to appreciate from him.
Congrats on your recovery... love the honesty, and I love your reaction videos.
i was so excited to see you found your way to this! I loved this on more than one level!
I recently found you and subscribed, and I am not disappointed. Your reactions are awesome because you are going so deep into so many aspects.
Wrong Side of Heaven by Five Finger Death Punch is another tear jerker
well done Jono, stay in recoverory. like your content
Your enthusiasm is fantastic ❤❤
I already freaking loved his music videos, but you helped me appreciate them even more! So many things I didn't know. So cool!
Hey man ive been watching your videos for quite a long time now, i love the way you point out all of the professional stuff that you know and i agree with you falling in reverse are a really phenomenal group, this song does also give me goosebumps!! 😊
What a masterpiece this video and musical piece this is, glad you reacted to it :)
This revamp always gives me goosebumps and the music video is gorgeous
Second reaction of yours I have watched. "Hi Ren" was the first. This song is an amazing commentary on how addicts literally drain the life out of those who are close to them. I myself am an a recovering addict. Three years clean today. I hope you also do the song "The drug in me is" reimagined by FIR, it to is about drug addiction, made me cry.
I'm so glad you did this one! This band is next level with their videos. Their music is too. I really look forward to seeing your reactions. It's cool hearing some of the terminology and whatnot for what's happening in the videos.
I just found you through your reactions to Falling In Reverse, and as a musician and artist myself everything is intentional. I congratulate you on your sobriety! I know it is tough but you seem to be doing well, and I wish you all the success you deserve! Earned my sub to your channel.
Just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to do these videos for us... I just found the channel yesterday and watched everything you've posted lol xD
What a beautiful reaction that deserves a sub ❤😆
I dont know how far along you are in your struggle but I can't begin to think of how it might feel to have something in yourself that makes you feel good but also makes you do all the things you don't want to do. All the best in your process Im sure you are doing great. This music video is something else like wow
Jonnhy, thanks for your videos. I love how you show your heart and pasion for this. You helped me a lot by showing us how they recorded everything and how they show us Ronnie's feelings. Also, you seem a nice person, hope you're doing well. Love from Spain.
I havent even started the video yet but I can tell u for a fact that I was looking forward to thissssssssssss
It's great to hear your reactions/explanations about the filming, technique, lighting etc rather than just talking about the music like most reaction videos are. But it's also great to hear you talking about how the music and the video play together to amplify each other. I think FIR Voices in My Head does a great job of matching the song's sounds to the video movement/cuts/transitions/speed etc, as well as great lighting too, so it would be great to see you react to it as well :)
I love your content please keep it up
Another amazing breakdown. And I recently saw the most amazing use of blocking technique to reveal characters in the second series of Sense8 (if you haven't watched if I'd highly recommend it, the production and editing especially are amazing) and now I finally know what it's called! And sorry to hear about your past struggles with addiction but glad to hear you're in recovery and seem to be doing well now!
Hey Jon. I love your videos. Myself who cares about cinematography I have recently dev a hobby with videography as well. I love how you go into detail and bring to light of all the things they are saying about lighting and angles. How they use certain combinations of the two to reveal more info as the subject focuses. All the people you reviewed are all my most favorite peeps. Especially NF who has new music coming out soon.
Loving your videos! Learning a lot new stuff and really enjoying the analysis! keep it up!
thank you so much!
Thank you for that different viewpoint from most reactors. I got goosebumps on different parts than I usually do.
Man you contend is incredible to me. I can’t stop watching it.
I just made my own reactions channel about Tech but it seems I have to develop my skills to make something closer to your content.
Thank you so much 😊
That is one of my favorite songs and for sure my favorite music video EVER! Yes he can act I think they should put him in the next super hero movie-as a villain of course! Great reaction BTW, your knowledge of the video scenes and how/why they are shot in the way they are is very interesting, thank you.
Great reaction video. Thank you! The drug in me reimagined is also another amazingly produced video by falling in reverse. You gained another subscriber here.
First time that ive ever watched a reaction from a guy who focuses mainly on the video production! bravo sir, i really enjoyed your take on the film making!! congrats on being clean from alcohol too! i salute you!
Oh ahahah today I said we are waiting for a new video. And you did one!! awesome keep going man!
never like to disappoint ;)
dude,. i just gained a whole new level of respect for you, on top on the amount ive already had. over 4 years clean for me. congrats brother.
Thank you so much for your videos! I'm in a heavy procrastination phase right now, and your videos help me find the inspiration to create more. it would be very interesting to see your breakdown of 30 seconds to mars up in the air.
The line "Well, I'm not a zombie
But I feel like one today
Self-induced comatose, chemical daze" went completely over my head until I watched the original music video for I'm not a vampire, and Ronnie is standing in line at he hospital (presumably in the psych ward), and they hand him the cup with pills in it, and he then takes his meds. As someone who is close to someone who struggles with mental health, and addiction, that line after seeing that gobsmacked me. It is such a perfect way to describe how difficult it is to try and get these things in check.
Highly recommend you check out the original I'm not a vampire music video, as well as "The Drug in me is reimagined"
I don't know how, but almost every video you react to is something I love badly 😅 Keep going man ❤️
Love your reacts, mainly your Falling in Reverse reacts. Addiction is a battle, keep going my friend, u can do it! 🫶
Losing my life, popular monster, and the drug in me is reimagined are great ones. Honestly anything in the past few years from falling in reverse and ronnie is great.
This song feels like a darker "Romeo and Juliet" the way its put together. You oughta give the original version a listen.
I don't have personal experience with addiction and recovery, but I have family members who have. It's hard but I applaud you for recognizing and trying to improve. Keep up the great work!
I am very excited to see your reaction to this video. I've enjoyed what I've seen from your videos thus far and look forward to more analyses to come.
thanks so much!
As an addict in recovery, (3 years now) keep strong. it gets easier, but the temptation is always there. Thanks for your amazing insight into these productions. its pretty eye opening.
Woohoo! Love this channel.
You need to check from Falling in reverse the Trilogy (Losing my mind, Losing my life, Drugs) and also Popular monster. Great reactions, keep it up💪🔥
Thank you for doing FIR! I can always recommend more of their videos! Also, if you’re looking for the horror genre, I highly suggest checking out Ice Nine Kills music videos. And for humor, I’ve always loved Foo Fighters 😊
Love your reaction on this and the music video and song is amazing.
Derek was one of the band members 💔
And congrats on being sober, well done👏
I've been watching music videos for decades, but how many really stand out? Thriller? I'd do anything for love (but I won't do that)? Handful of others over the years. This for me is maybe the best I've seen, just because it hits every box for a music video. Great storytelling from two points of a drug addict and a vampire. It's a great metaphor. Video and sound production is just excellent. Well acted story. Lyrically very good and Ronnie's vocal gives it the emotional pain, sadness and desperation those lyrics deserve. It's just a masterpiece of a video.
Hey Jonathan, I met you from the NF The Power of Vulnerability video, I'm who sent the Portuguese subtitle, loving your work since then!
Please react to "2022 EM UMA MÚSICA" from the Inutilismo channel.
It's a kind of mashup of 2022 popular songs, with some Brazilian songs as well. I think you will love the production from this indie project of Lucas, owner of the channel.
Congrats on sobriety 🎉😊. Now I’m going to go watch some more videos and look for the lighting 😁. Loved hearing a different reaction. You should do the Drug in me reimagined
For real, all Ronnie's videos are sick, so you can check them all
Check out the original song/video. It's about his addiction.
Yay!! Thank you for actually reading our comments and delivering!!
absolutely. thank you for suggesting such fascinating music.
I hope Ronnie sees this! He puts so much work into his videos and you valitate that!
@@jonathanhiller_ Dear God by Dax is also a very good one! Visualty amazing and emotional!
Love your content, especially looking at the film side of things more than the lyrics (different to most over reaction channels). I highly recommend reactiing to "Ren - The Tale of Jenny & Screech" which is a trilogy of songs. Really amazing story-telling, in one of the songs the camera becomes the character.
You might find it interesting to go watch the FIRST version of this song from 10+ years ago. You will be amazed that it's the same song. They continue to reinvent themselves. Ronnie is a musical genius.
Thank you very much. I've watched so many reactions to this, but have never watched a Filmmaker review. We all appreciate this video and the song, but it was wonderful to hear your perspective - your educational and trained insight.
If someone hasn't suggested it, I recommend you watch Popular Monster, also by Falling in Reverse. You won't regret it.
tremenda reacción genio, saludos desde el pais del asado 😎
Ronnie is also a recovering addict. He's been clean since he got out of prison. Ronnie said he would sell all his cars to make a killer video if he had too
Derek Jones was an American guitarist, best known as the rhythm and lead guitarist and often co-lead vocalist for the American post-hardcore band Falling in Reverse. He was also previously the guitarist of the American band A Smile From the Trenches until his departure in 2010.
It still makes me cry. 🙈
Nice video, thank you, waiting now for drug in me is you revamped
I found your channel from the watch the world burn video, and really enjoy your reactions and input. It was also moving to hear you share your story too. Defo got a sub from me for sure, look forward to your content!
thank you so much!
You should do a video for a "a drug in me is reimagined" another top tier song that was revamped! Great video btw! ive watched a bunch of reactions to this video and your perspective as a film maker definitely mad some points i hadnt noticed before!
