😃

Ok. I remember that name from back in tha day. That was dope!! Thanks for watching

It's just called Hip Hop no? Absolutely seminal track tho!

And it goes hard! Yo🤙🏽😂

sooo good and the dead pres lick is surprising 💪

I remember it being on repeat on my local alternative station back in the day. So fun!

No way?!? That must’ve been amazing!! I’ll bet you’re cooler than you think!! I was referencing the bohemian types in attendance….that’s what I consider cool. :)

@@michaelgoyettemusic There are many bohemian-types in Brighton! And, yes, I am one of them. 😀

I need to go to Brighton!!! I moved to London in 1996 but then my band back here got signed and I left London after a few months…..sounds like Brighton would’ve been more my scene!

@@michaelgoyettemusic I doubt that Ren will be doing much busking in future. I think he going to hit global stardom!

Is he not in my country (Canada) getting treatment for lime disease?

ROTFL…..you’re funny!!

Thanks Colleen! That sounds very complicated!! I’ll try to remember to explain why next time I do a busking reaction.

@@michaelgoyettemusic I would be interested in hearing the explanation on a future reaction. Thanks Mike!

That’s amazing! Love hearing stories like that! I wish social media existed in the 90s when I was in the hot bands!!

Ok. It’s on the list

It’s been out a while now

I’ve seen 3 Ren videos before I began reacting so there are probably still a few that I plan to get to! I’m a huge fan so far!!

That was Rancid before they changed their name wasn’t it? We covered one of their tunes on tour with Save Ferris.

@@michaelgoyettemusic So if I remember correct two of the members of Op Ivy formed Rancid but there was a switch from ska to more of NYC hardcore but with some ska still in there. Everyone feel free to roast me in the comments because I wasn't ever a Rancid fan

Nice. Btw I meant we covered Op Ivy…….I do like Rancid though…..I love ska and punk squished together!!

Tim Armstrong - singer/guitarist, and Matt Freeman - bass, are in Rancid, both from Op Ivy. Jesse Michaels - singer of Op Ivy was in Common Rider, great band! (As well as other bands.) Sublime is was a great punk/ska band. And of course the legendary Clash that started it all.

Thank you so much for saying that! Yeah totally Sting in there!

Sting is one of Ren's favourite artists n influence

Thanks for compliment! An Englishman is next!! And I appreciate your grace with my grammar. If you have a minute I’d love to know what part of the world you’re in.

Couldn't agree more!

That sounds heavy…..I can’t get to this stuff fast enough! :)

Oh wow. This comment was for another video for the song "How To Be Me (live)" he did with Chinchilla! I have no clue how it got here! lol. Funny that it ended up on a Ren vid. Hey, I loved your reaction to this, though! I love to see other musicians react, and recognize just how good Ren is on the git-fiddle! Looking forward to your next Ren reaction, whatever it may be!

Thank you

Thanks for the kind words….. The more I hear the more I love all these guys!!! Hi Ren meant a lot to me….I wish I had captured it.

I’m going all the way down! :)

Absolutely!!

It was a great version of the tune! Thanks for hanging out with me!

I haven’t yet…. Thanks for the tip!

So am I!! I nearly watched it by accident a minute ago….it came up on auto play but I cut it off after 2 notes. Haha

It certainly did!

I haven’t reacted to Hi Ren or the Tales trilogy but I saw them before I started reacting….I could do a breakdown because the music tells a story too and I’m not sure anyone else has gone too deep into that. From the diminished arpeggios to the augmented chords…it’s all carefully chosen for a function. Might be interesting take?

@@michaelgoyettemusic I would love your take on that subject with in a quick tutorial of how he uses his guitar not only to move the story along but I believe its a district character in the story as well. Go for it!! I'm there for my brother.🤯😎

Glad I could help! :)

@@michaelgoyettemusic Ha! Me too!! I'm really enjoying your reactions, by the way.

You can vote as many times as you like! The rules are loose around here! :)

So helpful! One day I’ll master my first language!! :) Thanks for the encouraging words! Have a great day!

I’m discovering that! Thanks for watching

You must be human!? ;).

@@michaelgoyettemusic Very much so! ha ha👠

Makes sense! Haha

It was one of my favs to perform!! We did it even faster live! Thanks for the sub! I appreciate it!

I appreciate that

Thank you!

Great minds…….:)

It sounds like this other reactor is very smart!! ;)

I sure will!! Thanks coming to the channel!

@@michaelgoyettemusic Of course - I'm intrigued to watch more of your videos now

Yeah very much so!! They all smoked weed and practiced jazz all day when we weren’t playing! Haha

Cheers!

Much appreciated

Thanks for the kind words…I’m so glad you found value in my reaction. Stay safe!

It’s great but you should diversify!! ;)

@@michaelgoyettemusic lol I do. I watch so many reactions at work each night (the joy of working alone) 🤣 but I mostly listen to Sleep Token, Bad Omens and Falling In Reverse generally. 🖤

@@TobiiRheaStarr good stuff! ❤️

I did too!!! It was a super fun band!

Oh cool. I didn’t realize. 🙏

That’s seems to be the consensus this far. :)

😂 ❤️ As long as it isn’t your own! 😝

I had to look that up!! Yes!!

Thanks.

I may do a video explaining how it has impacted me and breaking down the musical themes….I absolutely loved it!!!!

Ty!!

Most funnest? 😂 Cheers

It’s on the list!!

I agree. That is one of my favorite songs. Eden Nash is an amazing artist in her own right. Unfortunately, her catalog is still pretty small, mostly covers.

@@JensRandolff I'll have to look out for her. She sounds interesting.

@@AlSnoopsReid Here is her YT channel: www.youtube.com/@EdenNash

@@AlSnoopsReid Molly McKinna is another amazing artist. She performed with Ren on "Penitence' and "Ocean." Here is her YT channel: www.youtube.com/@mollymckinna3120

Busking is an all demographic activity….I was referring to all the ppl with Bohemian styles in attendance regardless of the year they were born…..it’s a sign that a band has grassroots appeal if their audience has a ‘look’ to them. I could’ve made that point more clearly so thanks for pointing that out!!

Thanks….I appreciate that…

Thank you

For sure!

I think I love Brighton……all I heard of it previously was that there was some famous riot there back in the day.

If there was a riot in Brighton it could only mean that the town had either run out of lentils or Avacado toast😁

Hahaha…..I think it was in the 70s or something? I’ll have to look it up….I could be mistaken

@@michaelgoyettemusic Brixton 1981, not Brighton. 😊The Big Push covered The Clash song "The Guns of Brixton". kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ralpftWZraizp2w.html

He’s got my attention!

😂……I meant specifically the bohemian types in attendance….but it’s always good to appeal to girls with one’s music. :). Cheers

@@michaelgoyettemusic true, but as the Dane I am, i thought it was the Brighton Vibe, that all on holliday in Brighton, would dress like that ? 😛 Talent and wisdom is sexy. Now i need to tjeck out your Music. I wanna see your audience

@@elinkeykramme6511 if that’s just what ppl are like in Brighton then that’s probably where I belong!! My music has always been across the board genre wise….and always a little strange but catchy…..much of my music on KZfaq is clips from improvised songs I made live-looping on Twitch….but there’s a full song called New Spin you can check out. Cheers! Dane in tha house!!

Thanks for watching! I like your attitude towards grammar!! ;)

Delicious!! :)

I’m trying to plan something special for Hi Ren……it’ll be out in early April.

We’re getting there! :)

Got it. Thanks

That seems to be the consensus! Lol

😂

What about the drums? They aren’t mic’d.

@@michaelgoyettemusic Good question. I hadn’t seen that mentioned where I saw that other info. Although the perspective of the video certainly might be hiding the drum mics. Couldn’t be the audio from the video. There’d be too much ambient noise from the crowd to pull that out.

It was definitely a highlight of my years in LA!

It was awesome! I agree

Thanks

In 98 I was still in my band called Artificial Joy Club…we were alt rock….we played a radio festival in Portland in 97…in 98 we were touring Europe…..I joined Save Ferris in 2004 I think….it lasted about a year.

…and thanks for the kind words :)

Your welcome. I was there to see soul coughing and became a fan once seeing that show.

That does sound righter!! ;)

It’s coming up next! Thanks

I’m considering it but he’s pretty political from what I’ve heard about him…I don’t know if I want that kind of heat yet….but maybe….

I was already leaning that way but I think you just tipped the scale!! Expect it within 48 hrs!! Thanks for watching with me!

Thanks so much!! I'll check it out!

Thanks you

I heard they use a bunch of phones to isolate each person and mix them all together and I believe there is also a zoom involved.

@@michaelgoyettemusic Sounds like an idea but surely a phone mic wouldn't pick up such a wide frequency range without overloading..I'll ask..

@@Pablopax4 nah iPhones sound pretty good especially if it’s close to the sound source.

@@michaelgoyettemusic I guess the Zoom could handle the bottom end, low frequencies are less directional after all..

@@Pablopax4 makes sense.

Absolutely!! Haha

They are a great band! Her name is Monique Powell. She was the best front person I ever played with…..so comfortable in front of a crowd. Thanks for watching. ❤

I’ve only been speaking English since I was 2……I’m getting there!! Lol

😂

That’s definitely coming! Thanks for watching!

You're welcome

🙏

I’ll check it out thanks

What do you mean by referenced? Judging by their numbers they haven’t broken yet…..

@@michaelgoyettemusic the lyrics at the 8.55 mark on you video are from the UK Garage track released by Luck and Neat in 1999

I saw TM a couple years ago and didn’t really like him (even though he’s a fellow Canadian) but I could be convinced to give him another chance Thanks for the suggestion!

I second giving Tom another go. His topics go from addiction (I don't drink), self doubt, depression (Balloons), juxtaposed with massive and lyrically and technical top notch flexing (Boom Bap 101, No Response), to Hi-Ren style self reflection (Best Rapper Ever) and plain silly and fun songs like Buttholes and "political" bangers like Sheeple, The System and Brainwashed. I understand if his music doesn't grab your balls, but as a musician, you should be able to appreciate his crazy skills at his instrument. Which ever song you pick, I'll be notified, and with #HOG, so will the entire Hang Over Gang who live for reactions to Tom MacDonald... #HOGArmy #HOGfam

I haven’t seen his limitations yet….I’m inclined to believe you! Thanks for watching! I appreciate it

I’ve seen it already but I could easily re-enact my initial reaction by gazing at the screen with my jaw dropped open!? :)

​@@michaelgoyettemusic why not ? That's what most of the others end up doing . Seriously tho, I like your idea of focusing on the music and composition. Far as I know its not been properly done yet
