❤❤ i have to say my friend, i have MAD amount of respect for you and how you have approached these reactions, the thoughtful openess to things you may not even like and being patient and finding and explaining precisly what you like and do not like about some of these songs. I have so much respect for reactions channels because i know i wouldn't be nearly as kind or patient about new musical endeavours! The fact you did say and expalin why you didnt publish those vampire videos is something i appreciate so much cuz i do LOVE the revamped version but i understand and can 100% respect why you didnt like it, we cant expect everyone to like all of our favourites thats not even in the realm of possibilities lol but im glad you didnt publish them because ( and this may just be because of my selfish thinking im not sure tbh) i had just recently watched someones reaction to a trilogy of songs from a another band i love, and watching him 'hem and haw' and sigh and roll his eyes through it was painful and made me angry in an unexpected way. He defintily didnt explain anything and the disrespect was rampant. So i just have to say i value and have quicklu become so eager to watch your videos and the channel you have made is a new standard of excellence in this new year ❤

When finally watching back this fully edited video, I realized just how similar these songs are, and that it was probably done on purpose. IT’S A TRILOGY AFTER ALL! Right now, I’m equating it to Another Brick in The Wall, parts 1-3 (Pink Floyd) in that they all share similar elements, but each serves its own purpose. That’s how I feel about these three songs. I didn’t notice it when I initially listened because of how I recorded all these. There was a solid break between each song (gathering some thoughts, talking, messing up, talking more, making sure I stay on track) and that separation was just enough for me not to catch that they probably all could be combined into one piece that really delivers the message. I’m looking forward to listening to them all in succession! Ronnie Radke to me after watching my reaction: 9:56

The trilogy is about addiction in general. The first song is about himself while in the midst of it. The second song is him trying to get his life back from it (the 2033 easter eggs in there are about his original release date). And the third one is how everyone is behaving like they're addicted to something, no matter what it is, and we're living in a culture that ecourages this in order to exploit our weaknesses. That's my take on it.

Loosing My Mind is about his fight with black tar heroin and the woman in silver represents the spoon and the black ooze is the heroin. Loosing My Life was about his Incarceration, and the fact that he could have been locked up until 2033 which in on the tombstone as well as the Plain in WATCH THE WORLD BURN. So he was loosing his life being locked up and missing his daughter grow up and more. He was fortunately released far sooner, which I believe matured him and gave him time to get his life back in a better version of himself. Drugs is about how he has learned that thing, money, fame, power, or any type of addiction is bad most of all the false claim of the AMERICAN DREAM which destroys more than it helps. So everything in our society is a DRUG. So what is inside you is what matters not what you have or can get or how you feel. So we all need to WAKE up from our little false lives and realize what is actually important before it is to late. The little girl in his videos is his real daughter.

I have to admit I LOVE that you give actual honest reactions and if you don't like a song you don't lie your way through it or sugar coat it. A little disappointed to hear but that alone makes me want to watch more of your videos and listen to your own music. MAD respect keep up the great content!!

Good on for you for having a go at the trilogy mate. 👏 “Who’s that guy?” Corey Taylor. An absolute legend who is actually having a tough time at the moment I think so here’s to you CT 👍❤ One of the reasons I love FIR is that Ronnie’s lyrics are so personal and there is a looooooot of us out there that can relate. I love the fact he’s so honest and open and the emotion he puts into every performance just enhances the importance and feeling of the messages and lyrics he is delivering. Good reaction Don. I’ve got to say though, OMG… “Revamped” didn’t do it for you!!!😮😱😱 wait, what?! Yes it’s in a similar vein as The drug in me but when it’s incredible in every way, I can live with that. The end note he hits while on the stake is worth the admission alone. Such an amazing, epic rendition of the song. Anyway, peace ☮️ I’ll give your new song a whirl now mate 👍

i love the part corey comes in and ma man like who's that guy HAHA best one XD

Of the trilogy, 2 is my favorite musically. ✌🏻

I know you already mentioned this but the reason why all the lyrics sounded so similar is because this was a trilogy. And even after this trilogy listening to songs like popular monster and watch the world burn, the reason why the lyrics sounds so similar is bc you're currently listening to the era where Ronnie is speaking about mental health since he was severely suffering from it and just wants to help and spread its awareness.

You should check out "Alone" and "Carry On" next to see two dramatically different tracks if you feel a lot of it seems the same; I'm getting a sense of what you enjoy and I think Alone will be one you won't love or hate but will appreciate the change of pace of. And I really think you're going to enjoy "Carry On" and the album that song was cut from, "Coming Home". That album was an acquired taste for me but after half a dozen spins I fell in love with it. It's drastically different than what you're hearing now, mostly.

How the hell did you not enjoy I'm not a vampire revamped. You need help. It is an absolute masterpiece. One of their best songs ever. Deary deary deay me. Straight jacket and padded cell for you. 🔔🔚

First video - Ronnie floating upwards is Ronnie falling in reverse. Try "Popular Monster" if you have not already seen and/or heard it. Second video - ironically, the guitarist with DEAD on his vest has passed. Derek Jones. The little girl is Ronnie's real daughter, Willow. Ethan Lader director, very talented! Third video - Willow again! "Who's this guy!!!!?" - Corey Taylor! Slipknot! Ronnie was contemplating/afraid that his absent mothers' drug addiction and his own will continue with Willow......

You have to do “the day I left the womb” by escape the fate. It’s Ronnie’s old band and an amazing song that’ll give you prospective on his life

Ronnie Radke is,in my opinion,the most talented artist ever. He just keeps getting better and better. I eagerly await his next hit. I thought Im not a vampire revamped was amazing. Then he hits us with Last Resort by Papa Roach and my heart exploded. Hate or love Ronnie Radke his talent cannot be denied. But tbh,although i relate to his life and songs,such as Popular Monster,it also cannot be denied that he is a huge bully and always has been. As one of his victims I know this to be a fact. He says hes changed but i disagree. I think he's a wolf in sheeps clothing and he has many masks. I used to love and admire him. His songs really do help people and did so for me as well. But his actions opened my eyes. Its not just me. His actions prove im right. He's all over social media and shows his true self. All you have to do is open your eyes. I know I'm going to get comments on how im wrong or im crazy or whatever. I am not afraid of his fans. Even though I feel this way and knowing what I know,I will not deny myself the pure pleasure and experience of listening to his voice and watching his videos. I wrote this huge speech about his and his girlfriends abuse. But i know it will probably be removed or deleted by you or youtube. And nobody cares. i only watched this cuz i thought you were going to hate on his music. Which i would disagree with cuz hes so amazing and talented. But i love to read the comments by people who have opened their eyes. Who have looked beyond his talent and humor. Who don't ignore the truth of what this man truly is on the inside. It doesn't happen often on youtube like it does on Twitter and tiktok. So i always check out the comment section. But you're a fan. I understand. He is very talented. And you're honest about his stuff. I feel no hate towards you. But i really appreciate the reactors who hate on his stuff cuz it makes him angry and feel bad. He deserves it. It satisfies me. If i cant make him feel bad about what hes done ill enjoy seeing others make him suffer. Yes ive been to therapy. Still go. But they can't help. Not with this. I need an apology and closure to move on. But that will never happen. I truly wish I would get amnesia so i could be blinded once more and continue healing and loving him as a person. So now is when my comment will probably still get deleted. His fans will crucify me. Whatever. My other comment was much more undesirable. So im done.Losing My Life from the trilogy is my favorite. Maybe try his older stuff like Alone,Devil and Stupid Boy. Raised By Wolves is great. Please continue to react to him. You're a great reactor. Pretend I don't exist. Im use to it. Forgive me for bringing my unwanted feelings to your comment section. I don't comment often. It will not happen again. Have you heard Watch The World Burn by FIR? Wow. He's so angry. Trying to be intimidating. So funny. Anyways its still proof of his talent and that more and more people are being proven wrong when they say he cant rap. I always knew he could. I still think Chris Motionless from MIW is a better screamer. Plus hes a good human. Bye

“That guy” is Corey Taylor the lead singer from slipknot 😊

Listen to Zombified

Actually he said that drugs is not just about drugs, it is about addiction in general, social media, electronics, technology, drugs, everything that can be addicted too. Only thing I didn't like about this reaction is the blurring on drugs. The rest of the songs are about his addiction and overcoming that as well as everything else in his life.

I love how honest your reactions are. I can see where FIR can be repetitive but he’s so talented it’s always something different yet the same if that makes sense :)

good video dude your reactions are a very good watch. 👍

While knowing you have an unpopular opinion, I appreciate that you are honest and still provide your opinion. I like that while you may not like something, you still try to find a positive. There is already so much negativity, it is nice to have someone still provide positive feedback on something that may not be their “thing” exactly.

Hello again Don! It seems coherent to me that you don't upload the reactions to "I'm Not A Vampire/Revamped" if you didn't like them, Ronnie himself has said it in some stream reacting to reactions to him; "if you don't like it then you don't upload it" because why would you upload something you don't like? Corey Taylor, lead singer of Slipknot, is the man who sings on "Drugs" If I remember correctly, the trilogy itself is about Ronnie's stages with drugs. In "Losing My Life" we see how Ronnie's daughter is an adult, which represents Ronnie's fear of losing his daughter's childhood because of him being on drugs. And in "Drugs" we see Ronnie killing that bad version of him, as well as talking about various things regarding being on drugs. By the way, the part where his "mother" appears is based on real events, she abandoned him (due to drug abuse) when he was a child, and in 2013 (if I'm not mistaken) she went to a Ronnie show and there It was when he met her and forgave her. Basically Ronnie didn't want to repeat his mother's story with his daughter Willow. And there's a lot more but those are the only things I remember LMAO someone will explain it to you better and more complete, I'm sure. It's great to see people's conclusions, before when I listened to the songs without knowing the story I couldn't draw a good conclusion lol On the other hand, "Brother" (FIR) and "The Day I Left The Womb" (Escape The Fate) are songs with more personal lyrics from Ronnie, and I think different musically. "Zombified" and "Voices In My Head" are top tier songs that I really recommend. By the way, I'm going to listen to your new single! You react to FIR, so I react to you lol

it won't get all the views but even if not on video I recommend listening to "Carry On". my favorite song of theirs and different from everything you've heard from Ronnie.

Much respect for taking down what you didn't really like, a lot of folks wouldn't have

Losing my Life is probably my favorite. Definitely my most played out of the three.

Every time I watch this video I'm reminded of all of his colorful tattoos. Now they're all black. He's such a versatile artist. I love the I'm not a Vampire, but mad respect for sticking to your own opinions and posting only what you want.

"Whos this guy?" CMFT!

If you don’t like those songs, regardless of similarities, I question how in tune with your emotions you are. You may be way too stable to fully appreciate how the reimagined series can make one feel who fucking buries every negative emotion, which eventually leads to burying every emotion. Glad you were honest though. Shit opens doors in the depths of my brain where I bury everything, good or bad. Thank you trauma response and thank you Mom and Dad for not forcing me to go to therapy to deal with basically dying, losing a limb, and losing basically everything I’d ever wanted to do. Rant over.

Falling in Reverse order 1.Popular Monster 2.Zombiefied 3.Voices in my head 4.watch the world burn 5.Last resort 6. Watch the world burn live!

More from them that I could recommend would be. 1) Champion (no music video to it though) 2) Just Like You 3) Raised by Wolves 4) Zombified 5) Voices in my Head 6) Chemical Prisoner 7) The Westerner (no music video) 8) Drifter (no music video) 9) Alone 10) Superhero 11) F*** You and all your Friends Just to name a few.

You really need to give some reaction love to Lorna Shore, vocalist Will Ramos is fire. The Pain Remains hits hard, listen to all of them. To the Hell fire is bangin as well. His vocal talent with his controlled screams, just amazing. Please give it a shot 👊 wishing you all the best.

Quickly listen to I m not a vampire original and i m not a vampire revamped by FIR. You wanted a different kind of reimagined version, u can say it's kinda different. It's basically in the same lane as the others with piano and strings but it has a slight edge to it. And fun fact: Ronnie plays piano himself if u wondered, he is classically trained; cool,huh. This guy did it all😊 Cheers✨

The white eyes are symbolic for being addicted to drugs. His Mom has had problems with drugs, he has (see losing my mind where he literally gets high) and he is afraid he might pass this curse on to his daughter, hence the white eyes at the end. The "you gotta be f*in kidding me" is really just comic relief I guess LOL

You're 27th subscriber here. Have you listened to Sleep Token yet? They are different but I've gotten into it and they are phenomenal.

Corey Taylor of SLIPNOT

Thought this was a reaction to Trilogy by Silent Planet for a second. That woulda been epic!!!

Try Alone. That's Corey Taylor from Slipknot

I love how you enjoyed the songs more as they progressed! I would have liked to see your reaction to the Vampire videos, even though they were not your favorite. Hearing your perspective of them being meh would make me look at them from your perspective. I love them, but not everyone does and I like to hear why/why not. Just to hear another's opinion is awesome, even if it isnt aligned with mine. On another note, have you checked out Hollywood Undead? They are more rap rock. They did a song with Papa Roach and Ice Nine Kills called Heart of a Champion. Like FIR I love most of their stuff, but that one is one I put on repeat a few times on my playlist and crank up the volume. Back to FIR, some of their outside the box songs that I love is Carry On (there isnt an official video, but the song is amazing in my opinion), Superhero, and Game Over (no official video, but freaking hilarious). They did a cover of Coolio's Gansta's Paradise with Coolio in the video. They did a song called Alone, which is Ronnie's most cringey song. I've watched him react to that and he roasts himself so bad.

I am so interested to see your reaction on “Bad Omens x Poppy - V.A.N.” You have a new fan mate 🙌🏻 Keep it up 🔥

That was a feature of our man from Slipknot (:

Corey Taylor, but I see you have already been told that many times. Would say that is another rabbit hole to go down. Not exactly Slipknot rabbit hole, but Corey Taylor. He not only fronts Slipknot but also is the singer for Stone Sour, His solo act CMFT and has collaborated with different rappers ect. A very different Slipknot song I would say to start with would be the Corey Taylor Snuff Acoustic - Which is an acoustic Slipknot song.

So Ronnie's music is Ronnie's therapy. He does exactly what he wants. Also, the guy who showed up in drugs is Corey Taylor from Slipknot, well just from music I guess haha

I didn’t like this music at first. I thought it was catchy but meh. Then I researched him a bit and yeah, right now you’re looking at puzzle pieces with no context as to how they fit together. I knew of Escape the Fate and have this weird feeling I saw Ronnie up close at Warped Tour once. But I didn’t do the emo sad boy shit so I missed his whole story until I found Slaughrer to Prevail and then new Falling in Reverse. His story is somewhat similar to mine, on the surface, and his music is the only new shit that makes me feel a modicum of anything.

I really like losing my mind and I saw him perform it live last month but I found it a little underwhelming live VS the recording.

I'm always surprised that people don't recognize Corey Taylor from Slipknot. This is a very famous group! Maybe because there are no masks? But this voice?!

You should react to bad girls club. It's in a completely different direction.

God is real!

That guy is Corey Taylor from Slipknot

Corey Taylor, Slipknot.

Corey Taylor my friend

You want it to be about the music, so you don’t research the person to see how who they are might impact the music they make. Right….

Why are you censoring the video????🤣

Well you said that his music all sounds the same so you could never be the him he has rose from the ashes, but haters gonna hate 🙄 you don’t know who that is 😂

I am.a huge FIR fan (saw Ronnie in his first band back in the 2000s) but i HATE the vamp songs. I actually cringe when people ask for those reactions. Just a matter of opinion.

Who's this guy lol who doesn't know Corey Taylor? It like you don't know music.
