I listened to the wrong part 2! Don't know how I missed that, thanks for letting me know. The best place the suggest music for reactions and such is on our DISCORD! Join with this link: discord.gg/K8rV3AXuMm

183 takes. This was their first live, one take. It was a huge effort. Ren's roomate and bandmate Romain on guitar

there is no greater storytelling than Ren's "The Tale of Jenny and Skreetch" full version. It is truly Shakesperean in it's lyrics, visuals and scope. Absolutely tragic and epic. In my almost 60 years I don't think I've ever heard/seen anything quite like it

Ren's purpose with these videos is to generate conversation, and inspire people to use our collective intelligence to find solutions to the problems we see in the world. He has said that while he does not have the answers, he believes that if we would all work together, we could find them.

Ren played the piano at the start and composed the music for piano & strings, One cut in this when the camera goes behind the wheelchair, they could not risk losing a day of shooting if the water malfunctioned.

Ren does one take. No lip sync

Ren is truly in a league of his own. He wiped clean a list of great artists for me. Nobody measures up to this. His ambition and creativity are amazing. He's done all of this while battling for his health for the last decade. Fully independent, this is all just Ren and his friends.

Ren is known for his live music and One takes Its one of the many things that makes him so refreshing

The idea of mishandling the gun is on purpose. That is the way a man with no hope or empathy for himself and those around him who has given up on life and is about to end it would behave. Ren wanted the viewer to feel uncomfortable and stressed and by your reaction and so many others he succeeded.

Of course he's singing!!!!! There is NOTHING fake about Ren! I doubt we will see an artist like him for a long time, if ever!

Ren's live performance video's are just that live! You can always count on Ren's live video to be true to form including MG3, which many reactors believe entirely that it was studio vocals layered over the natural ambient noise of the room giving it the feel of a live performance, but that couldn't be further from the truth. You can watch the BTS making of MG3 if you have any doubts, plus if you play that track from the Sick Boi album you'll notice that the song is at a quicker tempo and has no dramatic pauses within the song unlike this visual presentation. I'm sub's for your Ren journey and deep dive, because to be totally honest, you haven't even scratched the surface of how versatile and captivating this artist truly is. Cheers ✌.

Watch Rens interview with The Charismatic Voice. He explains a lot on there about his process on these live one takes and how cleans a lot of it up in post production.

Lip syncing? 😂 you better seek shelter mate. The mob will ascend 🫣😆✌🏻

Ren is a masterful storyteller and musician. His live one-take videos are amazing. Check out the story of Jenny and Screech (full version with Violet's Tale) for more of his one-take videos and storytelling. Looking forward to more reactions ❤️

If you like this next has to be Ren- The Tale of Jenny & Screech (Official music video) 13:32 best done in one hit. 🤯

22:00 "I wonder what Ren's goal is here?" I love his message, "Choose good because the option exists." I wish this channel (and all the others as well) would react to Ren's new video, "Eden" 🙂❤

Ren explains that he just uses the lapel mic but has to do a lot of intricate volume and EQ automation in post process to counter the variation in level and EQ when he is moving his head left of right depending which side the mic is mounted. He also uses some plugins to help post process but the recording is live from his mic.

Message, we are teaching profit and greed before community and human need. Ren believrs that we should be using collective intelligence to creat a society that provides homeostasis for the earth and secured basic human support. Adjustments to our politics to ensure food,shelter and healthcare and medical research not based on profit and greed. But he says WE have the answer, if we WANT IT ENOUGH. HE does not have the answer, but we as a collective do.

Ren is a perfectionist. It is worthwhile checking out The Wolf Johnson's great behind the scenes extended video (Wolf - a reactor, was invited by Ren to film the behind the scenes footage). This is a very long over 2 hr watch, however at 2:05:30 through to 2:10:00 you will hear and see Ren sitting at that piano winding down playing a beautiful piece and then describing to Wolf how he is self taught and then a conversation with the second Pianist: Charlie Woof-Bryne about the performance. The piano score and strings score (apart from the opening piece played by Ren) were written by Ren. Kia kaha from NZ

Great reaction, thank you. Ren's careless handling of the gun is on purpose to create that tension. Also yes he is the one playing the piano at the beginning. He also composed the whole thing except ironically for the part he plays at the very beginning that sounds classical. As you spotted MG3 is also live, however they had to put in a cut at the wheelchair scene to protect the mic from the rain scene plus be able to set up the quartet too. A word of advice if you plan on reacting to more Ren... please do not talk over the video/music. If you want to say anything, please pause and rewind a few seconds afterwards. Unlike other artists where it might not matter, Ren's music is densely packed with many details which you will inevitably miss and will frustrate the heck out of us 😅 This is especially important if you listen to The Tales of Jenny and Screech trilogy. There is a lot packed in there and you will miss the meaning of the ending if you don't listen with care. But make sure you listen to us and watch the Full Version of the tales as they must be seen in order: Jenny, Screech and Violet. You may also wish to watch the documentary made of MG3 to give you an idea of how this video was pulled off.

It was filmed in England so it was a fake gun and even that was hard for him to procure. Ren’s suicidal imagery is metaphorical, signifying destruction of greed and selfishness, and maybe even the self.

The guitarist in MG1 is Romaine Axisa, a damned fine artist worthy of reactions on his own. Romaine is in The Big Push with Ren, and they shared a flat in Brighton.

You should have done the studio version official lyric video of MG Part 2.

The gun was decommisioned and even that was tricky to source in the uk, there is a behind the scenes vid for money game 3.

The amount of time it took for the music industry to appreciate & recognize Ren is criminal.

Ren NEVER lip syncs...you can see him take the mic off at the end of the video.

You're totally right. We in America DO treat guns differently than they do in Britain. Last year Britain had 50 gun related deaths. We had 48,830. We could certainly teach them a thing or two.

Should of done the official moneygame 2 lyric vid

Bro welcome to the ren rabbit hole. This is only the very begining of what you have to come. All his live stuff is live. He writes and produces all his own stuff and most are one shot takes. Not done once but they take the beat shot to upload. You have to do the tale of Jenny and screech next. The full version. It's 3 songs in in one. Be prepared for a really exciting journey and we RENagades will be with you through it all. Can't wait for your next rent upload bro. New sub here ❤

Money Game 1 and 3 are both recorded live. Money Game 1 took something like 140 takes or something silly like that. And yeah, Ren does hours and hours of work to clean up the audio enough to get this quality with relatively low-end gear. He picked up a lot of those skills cleaning up busking videos for himself and friends where the videos were generally recorded outside and there's lots of ambient noise.

He did play the piano a piece he based on music by Grieg, the music the string quartet played he reworked from the music from the other Money Games and it's all live. Yes it was a real gun and ammunition but some one out of shot swapped the magazines, Ren insists on authenticity. There are a number of behind the scenes videos you might find interesting.

You should definitely check out more Ren - for a completely different side of him, try I Shot the Sherrif/Road to Zion/Hip Hop with his band The Big Push (the busking version where Ren is wearing red suspenders). Or Genesis.

Yes. That was a real 45 and real bullets. However, there was a switch off for safety purposes during the take. You can find that video on how MGP3 was made behind the scenes if you're curious for more information on the gun trick.

Not many reactors have mentioned the bad gun practice. Yes, it was a decommissioned .45 All one take, with the one cut. If you are interested, Wolf Johnson has made a short and a long video on the making of this. He flew to the UK to document the whole filming process. It is interesting to hear there are still people who find it hard to understand Ren does his one shots etc, live. He and the team he has gathered put a lot of effort into making these as an artform. They pride themselves on not following the current trend of producing fake and unnaturally perfect performances as much of the music industry does now days. If you really want to understand where he is coming from, just consume more of his work. It ranges from Dark, to emotional, to catchy and cheeky and anything and everything in between. Ren has some wonderful collaborations with artists like Sam Tompkins, Chinchilla, Victus, Eden Nash, Liv Sangster and a whole heap more. He was in a band called the Big Push also. If you are at all curious, you will look them up as well. I have never heard anyone regret having done so.

Glad to see more people talking about him. Great video keep up the good work, and god bless

I'm American and Ren was taught how to load and handle the 45 safely. It was on his trip to Vegas he trained on it (saw the video). So he knows trigger discipline but he was acting like a maniac in his acting role, he was not worried about trigger discipline. Just like the movies, these rules are not followed. Out with your friends and family at the range shooting live rounds....absolutely. Acting with a gun that has no firing pin and a sealed barrel with an empty magazine not a big worry. It is ingrained in me since I have shot guns and rifles my whole life, I have trigger discipline on a nerf gun. If you are not use to using a gun you have not built up that ingrained muscle memory.

Ooh, I like the live and on the beach version of Money Game 2; haven't seen that one before. Yeah, they can see through the sacks on their heads, enough to get by anyway lol. If I'm repeating something, I apologize (I'm too lazy to read through 200 comments ha ha). Normally, his one-take videos have no cuts, but in Money Game 3 there is one cut where the camera goes around him when first placed in front of the strings. They had only one custom suit and it would have taken too long to wait for the suit and the floor to dry; plus they only had the one day to film it. One of the water spouts(?) malfunctioned and the one lady violinist's bow got sprayed (Ren and co. paid her for a new one), but she barely moved at all (you can see her moving her bow back as much as possible) so the shot wasn't ruined! If I could make a suggestion: if you are going to talk or comment on something, it's a good idea to pause the video first so you aren't talking over the music and potentially miss something. Then when returning to the video, hit the left arrow so it goes back 5 seconds, so again, you don't miss anything. If you normally do this, sorry, this is the first video I've watched of yours.

Thankyou for an actual, genuine reaction. I really enjoyed watching this. I'm glad you could speak your mind without tearing him down. I genuinely enjoyed this reaction. And just subscribed for that.❤

Go back and watch the lyric video of Money Game 2 if only for yourself if not a reaction. Yes, it was Ren playing at the start until he was replaced.

There are two behind the scenes videos, one on REN’s channel, and one on wolf Johnson channel which is an extended cut

Been waiting for you to do this, and i got a tripler! Excellent! Really enjoyed your take! Thanks!❤✌️

22:59 Amen brother. Beautifully said.

You inspired me to look upon this as if seeing it for the first time again. 🎉

18:00 "What story-telling. Incredible story-telling." I am going to check to see if you've watched The Tales of Jenny and Screech. Yes, Ren is a great story teller! 🙂❤

Thank you for your perspective and talking about the gift of eternal life!!! Preach mate….

One cut! Just one. As the camera moved behind the wheelchair & his black jacket! That was the only one. Several rehearsals, obv. And it was REN playing the piano at the start, until Charlie took over because REN acknowledges that the music he’d written for the piano was beyond his ability to play, after the initial introductory piece. Charlie is a professional pianist.

It was a real gun and real rounds, but the gun was never loaded with amunition. There is a video where you can see that he hand over the clip to a armorer for a exchange while the camera points at the weapon on the table.

If you havent done Ren The Tale of Jenny and Screech (full video), do it! It's incredible. The story telling is top tier. New sub! 😊

Rain, rain, rain, rain. A storm it comes our way. Ren is a one of a kind genius! He plays several instruments. His talent is unmatched. He does it all! Continue on the Ren journey. Subbed.

Fantastic reaction! I love your style ❤

It's a privilege to be a contemporary of such an Artist... and that's enough, nothing more is left to say! Thank you for the reaction... but there is more, much more and exceptional to see and hear.

The Tale of Jenny and Screech (Full) is amazing as far as music and storytelling. Also one takes.

His videographer Samuel Perry-Falvey was interviewed by videographer-reactor Joe E Sparks and they talked a lot about MG1 and the whole process of REN’s one takes.

he sings all his stuff live, usually in one take, he's one of a kind and with all the miss-diagnosis in his youth and the shit he was told by so called professionals it's a miracle he's still alive and so glad he is. his music has had me in absolute tears, but you just have to listen because i feel everyone can relate to even one little, take that little bit and realise your life might not be as bad as you think it is, a true marvel.

You have to dig all his history, all his years of music and creation, read on the amazing techniques deployed in each of his videos. You just met a genius creator, he is already an epic legend. Have fun!❤

Can you react to jenny, screech and violets trilogy by ren?

I saw the wolf Johnsons behind the scenes for the 3rd shoot. (He got to go out there to do the bts) in the bts he showed that with the bags over the heads you can still see relatively well. Some of the actors do have 2 bags over their head if they need a more concealed look.

Ren is so different. Breath of fresh air. How is someone so young so thoughtful

No lip syncing going on here just masters the tracks and edits them to perfection coz he’s such a perfectionist x

20:57 - Thanks for catching that! I believe it's intentional, giving an object example of how a lack of discipline can be dangerous whether it's a firearm or a money game.

Just showing some love for Ren ❤ PS.... more Ren please!

Hey, I'm here for Ren! I want to see more of your reactions to the greatest artist and human being of this time!

As an actor Ren could be the next James Bond, then there is his voice, then his storytelling , I could go on..... You should do the Jenny and Screech Trilogy ( must be this version ) it hits hard.

Every single Ren song is live. Sometimes bc the different shots and so on it is cut or, recapture it 3-4 times max. There is a video about how the made Money Part3;there infos. Also as a photographer an n a cinematoprapher, musican myself, I can only say, it is everything above.

congrats you discover the new GOAT. Sink it in ❤

Totaly live. No lip since.

I haven't seen the live version of 2 for a long time. That was really nice to see again.

During one of the many many takes in part 1, Ren stepped on the guitar and left a divot. You can see the divot in the tale of Jenny and Screech during Jenny's tale, early on. Same guitar lol The slow pan behind the wheelchair in part 3 is the only cut. They had to do a cut because they wouldn't have time to dry everything out when they used the sprinklers overhead during the following sequence. It still malfunctioned, and you can see the violinist on the left shift a bit and shake her bow as water accidentally gets on her some. Luckily she stayed with it and was able to play even with slightly wet equipment. There is a great BTS video showing the clever off screen switching of the pistol magazine, taking away the one with rounds and handing Ren a definitely empty magazine

thank you for reacting to my favourite artist ever his album sick boi is fire, ❤❤

You have hooked me.. I hope you keep going with Ren. The full tale of jenny and screen is a good one and another live one as well! Enjoy!

This guy is crazy talented and original I love it.

Great reaction, thanks 🙏🦉❤️🐊👍

His music is so powerful. It takes the good, bad, and the ugly and puts it in our faces and sceams for us to look at it. Ren is agnostic by his own discretion, and I think he asks the questions that most believers (not of any particular faith) would steer clear of. Because once the question is asked, it demands an answer.

Ren tells a story like no other...thank you Ren for your soulful, rawness...truth to a bone cutting fullness...absolutely feel it....totally love it..❤

Please watch Ren's 1 million subscriber 'speech', it tells so much about who he is & the origins/goals of his music messages. Great job!

Monster … in his song, Monster, REN tells us that he is a vessel and whose messages he is channeling … the Adversary owns the yin and yang of this world. He has many captains and some are tasked to do the stuff that appears “ white “ and some are doing the obviously dark, ‘but if the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness?!?”

Lip syncing you say? What blasphemy how dare you

He is just letting out a cry for the world ,for our mistakes and for us to remember our hope.

I have heard a few people mention the trigger discipline, but i think its intentional because the carrying line through all three songs is a finger on the trigger of a money game.

ending at the needle was just the icing on the cake.

I just listened to a book thank you Ren and nice reaction

i love to see people react to the genius that is Ren

An absolute performer and talent

The sea shells section refers to the beginnings of the Shell oil company whoch started off selling sea shells from a store in London before diversifying into Oil

Money game - then he presses on the trigger of a money game. And he is willing to sacrifice his life for this message.

I love your reaction, but as an atheist can I address the weird bit at the end... it’s cool, you’re saying what you’re thinking, feeling at that moment, but I’ve lived a good life, I’ve done my best to be kind and honest with everyone I’ve met. Am I condemned to some sort of eternal hell? If so, I really don’t think they’re a merciful God or even nice. Tbh if so, I consider myself morally above them.

0:29 - Reading the section headings and seeing the first one, instantly subscribed.

I loved your message at the end of the videos. Was maybe more important than Ren's videos. ❤❤

hello dear!! lovely reaction!!! yes. ren is delightfully insane in talent and i love it!!! kathleen bts renegade

The thing about this trilogy of music videos, understand that everything this man says about the world IS happening… he gets his point across by showing his message in music form. When he says as the world turns, the WHOLE world burns… it’s so true! But overall this guy is good. Very good.

Yes, Ren played the piano piece and said it was the hardest part. And again, all done in just 1 take which makes even more phenomenal!

Ren lip syncing? 😂😂 Nope 😆 It sounds crisp cuz they spent a lot of time cleaning up the audio. Edit: Also, the piano intro was him. He would post pre-filming how he was often practicing arpeggios until his brain melted 😂

Also amazing piano on for Joe for his best friend who sadly lost his life to suicide x

He does all his stuff in one take!

Im gonna power thru this...even tho you did the live part 2. The things us watchers have to sit thru...1 cut, all real, he practiced/rehearsed that for months. Ren cares about the performance, if your gonna make/invent and try to find flaws, then Im gonna get defensive for him.....was a real gun (colt 45), however had been disabled. Was real ammo ...theres a switch that takes place off camera of someone handing ren an empty mag under his arm. Took great pains to get this accurate, because he knew thered be gun know it alls that wanna analyze it and, funniest thing,.. theyve all been wrong. If you ever mention/hint lip sync again tho....Thats all the other artists in your reactions. How many of them are even involved in a video planning.

Great video brother!

The dude is honest a once in a generation artist imo. Really talented cat.

He actually posted the behind the scenes for the Money Game 3 video so you can see how he did it all in one shot.

Freedom without restraints always descends into chaos and capitalism without restraint is what we presently have. Mainly because we are in time period where people are especially concerned about their individual rights. To the extent that they can no longer see benefit in acting in a communal manner. The opportunity is coming far faster than many were anticipating.

Ren definitely is a master story teller and wordsmith, among many other things 😊💜💜
