    Dude, you add something to your reactions that nobody else does. I don't know whether it's your style, knowledge, musical empathy or whatever but I am down for watching every reaction you do of Ren, Chinchilla (once you've done a Ren X Chinchilla song) and more of the Big Push.
    Cheers my Dude for what was another excellent reaction.

      Given his reaction to harmonies, I'd absolutely love to see him do How to Be Me (live) with Chinchilla... also some of the live acoustics both solo and with The Big Push. Great Reaction!

    and on the third day (hers, not yours), she got up before birding and immediately watched this reaction from a time zone three hours ahead of the reactor, and she was pleased. you know what? i cannot wait to see you see ren play bass. that was the second instrument i learned he could play. that was also the first big push video i watched (wade in the water/trouble so hard/nina simone). i think i lost my mind that day. turns out that in the big push, all three of the guys you see here (gorran on bass, ren, and romain on acoustic) can play both guitar and bass. i don't know if the drummer glenn (not in this video) plays other instruments or not, but i would not be surprised. you will come to learn during your travels down the big push tunnel of the rabbit hole that these guys are extremely good together. nobody is carrying the others in this band - they're all so, so good at what they do. but yes. i can't wait til you see ren play bass. there's a lot of things i can't wait for, actually. but i shall, because you have a life to live. it's not your fault that i am 3 months into the ren era of my life, and you're like a week. (warning - this is now an era of your life. like high school, or vegetarianism, or the three years you dated so-and-so. this is the ren era. i'm beginning to suspect, though, that this one doesn't end.) oh. did i mention? i really enjoyed your reaction.

      I think you'll find most of us guitarists are at bare minimum better than novice bass players. A lot of us just pick up any stringed instrument and apply similar concepts but adjust fingering accordingly. I'll say though, the musical virtuosity that I've identified in these guys thus far tells me that they're all likely multifaceted

    I bought the Sting compilation and always skipped this song. The Big Push completely reinvented the song for me. They increased the tempo, added harmonies, kept a strong reggae and acoustic unplugged feel etc SOLD. I was a huge fan as a teen of the early Police albums when they came out. Zenyatta Mondatta was one of my earliest and proudest buys on vinyl. I’m so stoked now that I (as a middle aged mum) broke my no social media, or Spotify rule and downloaded Spotify just for Ren and The Big Push and liked all the songs and added to my library all the one’s I like. Believe me it was a painful decision and may only be temporary but it was important for me to show support to these artists who have reignited my faith that there is actually organic original talent unsullied out there. Thanks for the great reaction mate! Cheers from downunder ✌🏼

    • @walterooski
      @walterooski  Год назад +2

      I can’t tell you how wonderful a compliment like this is. To date, I haven’t watch other reactors. I don’t want to get in my head that this thing I enjoy is a competition (which my brain WILL do whether I want it to or not) and I don’t want to accidentally absorb a style of reacting that’s anything but my own. Perhaps once I get far enough in the Ren journey that’ll change, but for the time being, I don’t want to fix something that isn’t broken and I don’t want to find out anything more than my journey will open. I love that my knowledge of Ren comes now from 6 songs and the comments section. To me, that’s part of the most fun element of doing this thing. It genuinely feels like a journey you’re observing and supporting me through, and in its own way, that feels sacred. The collection of kindred spirits that seem to have amassed here over the beauty of this artistry through music is astounding and getting to be the one that provides that forum feels magical.
      That you feel this way means the world, my friend!

    • @walterooski
      @walterooski  Год назад +2

      I’ve noticed that, in the videos I’ve reacted to that he plays that guitar, it seems like he’s always cruising on the bridge pickup. I don’t even see the pickup switch on the guitar so it might just be stuck there 😂 I’m sure he could change it if he wanted to, but I think a lot of guitar players fight tooth and nail to find the sound they want to be “theirs” and perhaps this was his. Not sure.

    • @andrewparker9569
      @andrewparker9569 Год назад +1

      I don't believe Ren is tone chasing during a song.I think he sets up the pick up tone and that is it for the duration. He plays so much on the classical and acoustic too . There is a youtbe clip of Ren and Sam Tomkins playing It's a Mans world where he uses an RC-30 looper and distortion pedal

    The interesting thing about all the musicians in The Big Push is that they often switch up instruments. Romain Axisa is playing the acoustic here which is often the instrument of Gorran Kendall (bass in this one), and Ren often plays bass with Romain as lead guitar. So they're not just extremely talented on one instrument, but switch it up. Ren used to play drums for the Push (he says he wasn't very good) until Glen joined them (not in this one). Ren also plays piano.
    I think you'll love their cover of Praise You which is really clean and simple, and also their own song It's Alright (live).
    You're officially a RENegade! Welcome to the rabbit hole. It's lots of fun.
