I got to see them live last August and they opened with the first version of this song and it was so cool when he says "Hi, my name is Ronnie, I'm an addict" and they whole crowd screams back "Hi Ronnie!!" One of the best shows I've ever been too!!
When the Drug in Me is You and I'm Not a Vampire were originally released, Ronnie had just gotten out of prison and pretty much went straight to the studio. He wrote the whole first album in prison, but couldn't really sing aloud in prison so he came out sounding a little rusty. But his voice sounds better and better as time passes. Even when he sings the old "I'm Not a Vampire" live, his voice sounds like the Revamped version, just faster.
Doesn't matter if you like or dislike Ronnie as a person. You 100% have to appreciate the creativity and talent he has turning the first song into the second song. OMFG!
Derek Jones was the Rythm Guitarist for Falling in reverse and also one of Ronnie's best friends. He is the one that picked Ronnie up from prison when he was released. He passed right before this song came out. It is not known how he passed. Derek's girlfriend died of Cancer, 5 months later Derek passed. Thank you for your reaction! If you would like something different from Falling in reverse- Chemical prisoner.
The parallels that Ronnie points out about the similarities between vampirism and his (former) heroin addiction, it's just incredible. This version makes it clear just how dark the lyrics really are. Ronnie is a visionary. Mark my words, he will go down as one the greatest talents in the last 100 years I'm talking bigger than Elvis.
This is why we told you guys to do it back to back, it's an amazing experience, Derek Jones was the guitarist, Falling in Reverse is now just Ronnie as far as I know.
Fun Fact this was filmed at his house. The woman is Saraya Bevis aka the WWE professional wrestler Paige and Ronnie's girlfriend. We told you a masterpiece lol. I swear Ronnie's from another planet. Derek Jones was one of the original members of the band played rhythm and lead guitar. RIP Derek. Great Reaction guys much love.❤
The revamped version is truly a masterpiece. That's Ronnie's girlfriend in real life. WWE Saraya AKA Paige. Derek Jones was his guitarist. Him and Ronnie started FIR together. After Ronnie was released from prison. He died after losing his long time girlfriend from cancer.
I’m not a vampire revamped is my 4yr old daughter’s absolute favorite song in the world. She always says she loves “all the orchestra instruments with the guitars.” Your reaction to both versions was such a great for us to watch!!!
Several other reactors have suggested his life and music would make an awesome Broadway play with him and the band creating the soundtrack with their music. I love documentaries and I think that could be great, too, so they can show interviews and live clips of their performances. I could definitely see this song and The Drug In Me is Reimagined as the finale for either showing how much he and the band have grown. Loved your reaction. You guys are too funny! How do you know each other? Subscribed!
Thank you! We're you enjoyed 😉 and James and Geo met BullDog through Twitch Gaming while we streamed video games. It's almost time for us to do an Q&A what do you think?
Full body goosies every single time ❤️ absolutely superb in every single way 👌 Also, how tf screaming can be in tune and also sound beautiful is out of this world
Of course not every band could redo songs to this level but I agree if you've grown as a musician and have older songs that you just feel weren't expressed the way you wanted them absolutely do them again and let them shine in a new light. Ronnie wrote the 2 he's redone when he was in jail and a really dark place in his life but the style at the time and his talent level wasn't where he could give them the meaning he wanted.
I don't recall when exactly I first saw "I'm Not A Vampire (Revamped)" MV, I think it was last year, but I was shook :) I literally played it on repeat for hours on end. It's glorious. I did watch the original sometime after, definitely had a different vibe but it's cool.
I loved your reaction! Your faces were amazing. 😂 It is a masterpiece. I’m so glad you finally reacted to these two songs. I think I’ve probably played the revamped version a hundred times. Lol
Derek Jones was their lead rhythm guitarist and founding members of falling in reverse along with Ronnie Jacky and Ryan. He and Ronnie were the only two original embers of the band left everyone else left
Great reaction again. For my personal taste, the Revamped version is a bit too theatrical, but I admire the artistry. Derek was the rhythm guitarist for Falling in Reverse, the one who picked Ronnie up from prison and a close friend of Ronnie. At the end of 2019 Derek's fiance died from cancer (that's why the tour with Tom MacDonald was cancelled). Derek died in the beginning of 2020. Ronnie didn't want speculations about how, so I won't say anything about it. It's very sad and I'm glad about the dedication at the end of this song, so Derek's name won't be forgotten. Greetings from Germany
Great reaction! Watching how much you enjoyed this took me back to the first time I heard it, which was on its drop day. So fun!!!! Here’s my take. I apologize if this ends up being long! In its original release, it was a punk rock type song and was light hearted. Ronnie and an Irish composer revamped it for its 10 year anniversary. I think it’s about addiction, because of lyrics like “it’s coursing through my veins “ “chemical daze” “when did I become so cold” etc. I think the original is the unapologetic, party animal rockstar, having fun. But in denial.. “I’m not an addict”/“I’m not a vampire “. He’s not thinking about what impact his addictions/lifestyle have on his life and on others. The revamped to me is a more mature look back at his addiction and how he didn’t think he was a monster but in reality he was and Saraya (his irl girlfriend) represents how much he hurt those around him. When she walks in on him, he runs away ashamed. She kills herself in sadness over the monster she discovered he is. But then he turns her (her purity) into the very thing he is ashamed of about himself. BUT... I think it’s also a love story and I think it’s to pay homage to Derek Jones (dedication to him at the end of the video) and Derek’s fiancé who both died last year (she from cancer, Derek shortly after from suicide). Derek was Ronnie’s longtime friend and the guitarist for Falling In Reverse, it was Derek in the original video playing lead guitar. Derek is the friend who picked him up on the day he was released from prison and was the only other original band member to FIR. Anyway, that’s just my take on it. I’m so sorry about writing you a book Some little tidbits I’ve learned: the guitar notes are the exact same from the original but played on piano and the lyrics are all of the same exact for 1 added line. Also the house in the revamped version is Ronnie’s house irl.
Still a better love story than Twilight. The girl is Ronnie’s girlfriend, WWE Diva Paige, now in AEW going by her real name, Saraya. They are amazing together! This was filmed at their house during the pandemic and it’s just so fantastic! Derek Jones was their guitarist (not the shredder, that’s Jacky Vincent). He had been with Ronnie from the beginning of Falling in Reverse, in fact, it was Derek who picked Ronnie up when he was released from prison. Derek’s wife had passed away from cancer in 2019, and Derek followed a few months later. Ronnie says his only regret at really blowing up now and playing arenas and the level the band is at now, is that Derek isn’t here to see it and be with them.
You guys should really react to their love concert they did during COVID-19 called falling in reverse live from the unknown 2021 it's on UA-cam it is amazing
Great reaction as usual guys hope you react to more falling in reverse gangstas paradise, coming home, carry on, pick up the phone, raised by wolves, chemical prisoner, it's over when it's over, alone, rolling stone, champion and the westerner
I’d like to request that you check out one of my favorites metal bands, besides FIR, called BAD OMENS. Noah the front man can sing angelic to death screams and he is perfection. One of their songs hit mainstream a few months back and was number 1. Their whole new album is amazing. I’d check out first, “The Death Of Piece Of Mind”, then go from there. You might want to kick yourself for not finding them sooner. 😂Thank you.
Amazing reaction as always you guys. I've been thoroughly enjoying your FiR journey and can't wait to see more FiR reactions in the future. Idk how much you guys like heavier music but if you can could you please react to Champion next. This is my personal favorite FiR song.
The reaction channels that I have seen grow quickly react to the big three in a cappella Voice Play, Home Free, and Pentatonix, K-Pop groups Stray Kids, BTS, and Black Pink and rock band Nightwish (start with Ghost Love Score at Wacken), all have rabid fan bases that love to see new reactions. Also there are some other fun groups - One OK Rock, Bloodywood, Heilung, and Unleash the Archers. Just some suggestions ;)
I think it's worthwhile to remember that Ronnie wrote a lot of his songs in prison, including this one, and also where he began putting together Falling In Reverse. That's how he managed to hit the ground running when he got out of prison. I guess it took time for him to get his vision done the way he wanted, probably couldn't afford it when he got out of prison. I think he's a savant, he is self-taught on piano at 9 y.o. His mom was a drug addict that wasn't there for years at a time. His dad was also a drug addicted biker, but did most of the parenting and has since become a born again Christian. So I don't think Ronnie had piano/guitar/drumming lessons when they were so poor. Genius or Savant?
Hello...Dude,good you're react 👍 Recomended for you 🙏 come you're check it out,3Girls hijab rock hip metal funky band from Indonesia 🇮🇩 VoB(voice of ba-che-prot):God,allow me (please) to play music 'OMV' this amazing band,unique,and talentted the young ladies 🤘🔥 i waiting for you. #VoBfansBase🇮🇩🤘☕

The Revamped Version got 6 awards for it and the Original Ronnie put it together in Prision on his Knees Hes a Genius
When the Drug in Me is You and I'm Not a Vampire were originally released, Ronnie had just gotten out of prison and pretty much went straight to the studio. He wrote the whole first album in prison, but couldn't really sing aloud in prison so he came out sounding a little rusty. But his voice sounds better and better as time passes.

Jensen Noen Directed this video ( and most off FIR videos since Popular Monster ) he won 6 film awards for it !
Derek Jones was the Rythm Guitarist for Falling in reverse and also one of Ronnie's best friends. He is the one that picked Ronnie up from prison when he was released. He passed right before this song came out. It is not known how he passed. Derek's girlfriend died of Cancer, 5 months later Derek passed.
Thank you for your reaction! If you would like something different from Falling in reverse- Chemical prisoner.
Ahhh ok thank you!

It really is a masterpiece, it's incredible. the music video has actually won several awards.
🤘🏻😎
He just reimagined a brand new cover by Papa Roach a couple days ago. If you liked this one, you're going to love his take on Last Resort❤
Full body goosies every single time ❤️ absolutely superb in every single way 👌
Also, how tf screaming can be in tune and also sound beautiful is out of this world

The stunned silence is the appropriate reaction 😊
I've seen this video a million times and every time I forget to breathe.
Ronnie's punk rock vibe and then back to reality. Piece of art . Unreal video and insane vocals.
He never disappoints #FIR🔥🔥
Have heard that so many times and still is giving me chills
Epic!
❤
100% im re watching my reaction to it haha, jealous of that 1st time hearing it
I don't recall when exactly I first saw "I'm Not A Vampire (Revamped)" MV, I think it was last year, but I was shook :) I literally played it on repeat for hours on end. It's glorious. I did watch the original sometime after, definitely had a different vibe but it's cool.

I love this ❤ I have never seen 3 faces look so shocked at a music video 😊 But I understand definitely a masterpiece ❤️

Great reaction again. For my personal taste, the Revamped version is a bit too theatrical, but I admire the artistry.

The girl is Ronnie’s girlfriend, WWE Diva Paige, now in AEW going by her real name, Saraya. They are amazing together!
This was filmed at their house during the pandemic and it’s just so fantastic!

Amazing! Thank you for the info
Loving the journey you are all taking us on thank you
This is going to be a great reaction!!! Let's go 🔥💯
I know right 😊
😂 I was on stunned silence the first time I saw this. Great reaction y’all 😊
This was epic!
You guys should really react to their love concert they did during COVID-19 called falling in reverse live from the unknown 2021 it's on UA-cam it is amazing

Cool fact this is his home.

⚡️⚡️⚡️
Speechless right???
=) yes
❤❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Fun fact for the revamped version the house is Ronnie's actual house and girl is his real life girlfriend Saraya fka Paige Fromm WWE
Bruh, is that your phone giving directions to that mansion 😂😂
The stunning girl in the Revamped is his girlfriend, Saraya aka Paige from WWE.
I think it's worthwhile to remember that Ronnie wrote a lot of his songs in prison, including this one, and also where he began putting together Falling In Reverse. That's how he managed to hit the ground running when he got out of prison. I guess it took time for him to get his vision done the way he wanted, probably couldn't afford it when he got out of prison.
I think he's a savant, he is self-taught on piano at 9 y.o. His mom was a drug addict that wasn't there for years at a time. His dad was also a drug addicted biker, but did most of the parenting and has since become a born again Christian.
So I don't think Ronnie had piano/guitar/drumming lessons when they were so poor. Genius or Savant?
When you want to try another great singer/group.... try Nightwish - Ghost love score at Wacken!
Thank you for reacting to falling in reverse again. Please react to sub par by Prof ft method man and please react to pack a lunch by Prof ft Redman
