Great reaction, guys. FYI, in an interview (forget which one) Ren said he and Samuel (his videographer) did have something ready to present to Netflix.... you never know! By the way, welcome to Bardcore and master storytelling.
Several interviews, and several of his live Twitch streams too. They are very serious about doing something for Netflix, but he has to get his treatment out of the way first before he can even think about approaching them.
Ren is moving to LA as soon as treatment is done, after summer this year. Sam will be joining him. They are working on a musical version of a "black mirror" type of show.
Ren has talked about doing a "Black Mirror" type anthology series much like this, but probably more complex. Apparently he and Sam, the guy who did the video work on this, have at least written, but perhaps filmed the first episode as an example of what the series could be. (He mentioned it in a live chat and I can't remember if he said if it is finished.) As Ren's reputation rises, I hope outfits like Netflix take note.
So some additional information for you. 1) regarding the views, bear in mind Jenny's Tale, Screech's Tale and Violet's Tale were all originally (and I think still are) individual videos, because they were not all released at once. Jenny's Tale was released first in 2019 and then Screech's Tale about 6 months later. Violet's Tale wasn't released until 2022. It was probably intended that he would do it in 2020, but then the world shut down, and because he was going to Canada when it opened back up, for treatment, he had a lot of videos he wanted to record so that he could still release stuff he had previously recorded, while he was in Canada getting the treatment. Now on to the actual story - Now that you know the twist, you become aware that Jenny's age was never mentioned in the song, but now you know what it is. So now you see Jenny's story in a new light, a 14 year old girl, walking the streets at night (like she had a thousand times before) - in her high heeled shoes. Screech refers to slicing the rosy off her cheeks - which is an old-timey reference to ladies of the night, wearing rouge. So it's pretty apparent at this point that Jenny the 14 year old girl, is working the streets at night. Further backed up by Screech in his own story suggesting that he had attacked a lady - he didn't say he attacked a girl, so he obviously thought she was much older than she really was. This is an epic story of intergenerational abuse. And it is helpful to know that in the UK when Violet moved at - at 16 and was given a council flat, that doesn't happen - because of the major housing shortage in the UK - UNLESS she was already pregnant when she moved out, which means she would already have been pregnant when she met Stevie, and is probably why Stevie kept saying she was a liar. Jenny and Screech's father, is likely to be Violet's father, rather than Stevie. Great reaction guys, I hope I added some context. You might like to know that if you search RUclips you will find a 360 degree live performance of The Tales in front of an audience, who all know the words. It's pretty fun to watch, especially when a very young kid is happily screaming away at the "come on then you fucking cunts, let's fucking have you then" line.
So... fun fact on Jenny's Tale: although inspired by the newspaper story of a prostitute being murdered by a kid in his early teens, Jenny herself was *NOT* written to be one. Per Ren himself, "Jenny grew up quite normal, and James had an abusive father" (stated in Discord on 7/28/2022), and that Jenny & Screech were meant to be opposites that fit together like Yin and Yang.
@@dropbarracuda grew up quite normal may have been the intention sure, but the lyrics don't match that "she knew these streets because she'd walked them about a thousand times before, she wanted to escape" 14 year old girls who are in a loving family don't walk the streets at night alone, and they definitely don't indicate that they want to escape.
@AndrewJonesMcGuire (SPOILERS) actually, I didn't want to pull out this factoid, but since you want to go on this speculative, disproven narrative (😉), the official, latest word from Ren on 07/29/2022 is this (this also clears up a bit surrounding the different takes on Jenny and Screech's father): "Jenny is actually a cyborg who was artificially inseminated into the womb, and Screech was sent from the future disguised as Arnold [Schwarzenegger] to destroy her."
"What a twist!" and "Goosebumps out the WAzoo!" best comments!! 😂😂😂 You guys are a treat to watch! Thank you for this reaction! I am looking forward to more from you 3 ❤❤
IMHO the "Tale of Jenny and Screech and Violet's Tale" is a Three Act Shakespearian Tragedy, in the style of the wondering minstrel bard. Ren has self identified his music as bard core, so that is confirmed. The use of music as interlude is an ancient technique. This is a use of music; that goes right back through the wondering minstrel bards of the middle ages. The works of Chaucer sung in the Wife of Bath's ale house. And back to the Dark Ages of Anglo Saxon epic poetry of Beowulf, on through the Greek Homeric tales of The Iliad and The Odyssey and the beginning of the Choir. As Ren shows the music acts: in part as interlude/intro as well as melodic emphasis and sound effects for the story. This form of story telling probably goes all the way back to Ugg twanging his Bow to woo the Chiefs Daughter. Or to complain about the Chief stealing the meat from his hunt, at the hut of the local Widow Ale Wife, where he and others would congregate to let off steam and tell tales of epic hunts. And then perhaps to draw on the local cave walls, the tale of their hunt while singing acting and dancing out their day. And even to this day you see the graffiti on the walls as Ren acts out and performs "The Tales." As a sound engineer I spotted Ren's use of locational reverb as found sound. Something a stone age performer shaman would recognise and that has been shown to have occurred in ancient megalithic architecture and among the few still existing hunter gatherer societies that are studied by anthropologists today. They also got lucky with the Seagulls in part of the song which then was deliberately left in and emphasized in the mix. I think that what was done in the tales calls to that ancient genetic heritage we all have. All of it indicates the intellectual level of the performance production in this piece that makes it true art.
Wow you hit the nail on the head! However, the gulls (seagulls) were probably infuriating to ren. As they are supposed to be in London. All 3 tragedies in the tales mention London City specifically several times. Gulls are seaside birds (he filmed all three tales in Brighton a Coastal Town) Pigeons are the birds of the old smoke
Awww, watching the three of you absolutely captivated by every second of this video was also a treat, even if you weren't doing a lot of pausing to share your thoughts. It felt reverent, from this side of the screen. I don't ever mind reactors pausing a whole bunch because I'm there for their reaction and if they want to add a lot of words to their reaction, I'm definitely here for that (I'm always sad if I see the runtime of a reaction video isn't much longer than the runtime of Ren's video). But it sure was lovely to be along for the ride for the way you experienced this.
@@Codex7777no but there was a real prostitute who died by a 14 year olds hand and that’s where he got the idea from just to clear up the what @williamparrish9954 said
You guys are great! Every time I watch you it’s like going back in time! Top Gun! Anybody thinks the same 😂 loved the reaction as always guys all the best!
I not only love the way he uses his instrument as a tool for the story, but he also uses his environment as an instrument. He's a lyrical, musical, artistic, planning and creative genius!
Guilty. I think ren is getting less views on the official music videos because we are all enjoying watching the reactions. I probably heard 100 different reactors for hi ren and literally probably 50 reactions for J&S. From producers or vocal coaches or psychologist or classical guitar - all seem to agree that Ren is. Genius
You need to check out the tales on 360 cam. He posted on social media. If you attend Brighton train station at a certain time meet some people in masks. A 1000 people went for a free mini concert of the tales live. They were led to a secret location. The car park in screeches take. Ren performed a live rendition with extra songs interacting with the audience. You can rotate the screen to see the crowd and soroundings it brilliant..
Ren IS a: script-writer - screen writer - actor - lyricist - producer - singer - rapper - multi-instrumentalist- Master Story-teller. This is Street Theate, tailored for the www. He's also a powerful social commentator; The Modern Bard. The New Shakespeare of our times. Yes - take notes! I hear a number of Theatre / Drama Schools / Lecturers are including the study of Ren's work in their curriculum. { Hopefully he's getting full 'credit' for that!?} Enjoy your further travels down the Ren Rabbit Hole.
Don't forget ren doesn't enforce copy right you can watch however you want if you do get a strike just argue it and he will OK it his end. He's always said in interviews he won't ever not allow his art to be enjoyed or shared he wants us all to support and lift eachother up
Loved this reaction. The guy who keeps saying, "Let's keep going" is the best reactor in my view (You know who you are: big tashman. Your priorities are in the right place) but you are all good. This is yet another Ren masterpiece. When I first saw it I immediately thought, "Shakespeare". Like Shakespeare, Ren is a bard. It is a Celtic tradition dating back to the druids. I don't know what a wazoo is but your goosebumps are better off out of it. 💯
Love u guys and ur reactions, especially the Ren ones!!! You are all so funny and likeable Enjoy the Ren rabbit hole there is sooooo much more to come. I have gone through all of his stuff since Hi Ren about a year ago. I just love him being a musician myself. And by the way he is also a lovely human being. He Has been in canada getting treatment for over a year. But finally went back to UK to put on a performance after 5yrs!!! At the secret garden party festival. I almost wanted to go. Renegades from all over the world came to see him. He played tons of his stuff w all his featured guests. Youll find it on yourube its amazing. And whats even greater is that he looked soooo happy to be playing live again w all his fans and friends. He even cried a bit cause he is so grateful for his fans(Renegades) and for the fact that he is getting better and still alive!! Will keep watching u guys. Much love from Slovakia💙
Your reactions are awesome. I’ve watched this tons of times and keep seeing little nuances throughout. Like when he sings “the devil comes to dance, he extends the s sound like a snake. Ten has said he’d like to make a movie. So you know it will happen. Genius story.
He puts layers upon layers in this story. You can peel back each interpretation and find deeper meanings to each phrase almost. Like violet was a 14 year old prostitute. Screech's friend, Patrick, was cheating with Screech's girlfriend. Violet was already pregnant when she met Stevie. By her father. In London, to get a flat on welfare at 16, there would need to be extenuating circumstantes. Like emancipation because she was pregnant and abused. That's why Stevie called her a slut and a liar. She likely wouldn't tell him who the father of her babies was. And Jenny and Screech, born on the same day, died on the same day one street apart. Generational violence and consequences of nature vs nurture in poverty in a 13 minute nutshell... or maybe onion would be a better analogy. Ren is absolutely one-of-a-kind.
Yes - finding those places/spaces and planning every step, all to serve the story and create the moods, that's what makes REN's videos (besides his instrument and his voice) so great. A genius at work presenting his masterpieces - it's such a pleasure to watch/listen to him. 👍 for your reaction to Ren's videos, you're great, all three of you - thanks for that and ❤️greetings from Germany 👏👍🤝🙋♀️
Just won award for money games part 3. Number 1 album in Britain for sick boi. This fella and his enterage will go down in musical history without a shadow of a doubt.
Ren is outstanding 👌 goosebumps out the wazoo every time! He's a mad genius for sure. The Money Game trilogy should absolutely be checked out as a whole aswell. Please 🙏 🤟
Great reaction, guys. Us Renagades call the tales Bardcore, Ren is a literary genius like William Shakespeare, so we call Ren the modern-day Bard, and because of the subject matter in the tales we get the core, like hardcore.!! As for your netflix comment, Ren and Sam have already had meetings with Netflix executives, and it's a case of watching out on Ren's social media for any updates. Once again Great reaction. This UK Renagade has just found your channel and is subbing to catch up on your other Ren reactions.! Follow the bread crumbs of the Ren rabbit hole,there's more than a years worth of material to react to.!!! Respect from the UK, 🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧👍
You guys mentioned previously about grooving on Ren's collaborations, some that definitely should be checked are the works with Liv Sangster. Some of his current drops are also incredible as he continues to expand his work outside the box. Back on 74 and Fred Again mash-up particularly. 🤘🤙✌️
Great reaction guys!!🖤🖤🖤There's talk of him moving to LA with his team. Would be so cool to see Ren stretch his creative acting/producing side!! Ren is a once in a generation artist💯🔥🔥
Besides the great singing, rapping, guitar play. Don't forget he is not just telling a story, and telling a story in a way that you believe is and get dragged into it takes alot of talent. But besides that. The fact that he wrote this story himself. To come up with a story like that and how everything connects, that takes another level of genius.
Okay... this was one of the best reactions to this masterpiece I've ever seen! Excellent job guys! I love how you were so hypnotized in the story, you guys were all silent and forgot to pause - excellent reaction!
Jenny and James yook on the traits of their mum and dad. Guys its f'in nuts one guy (not a team) wrote all that, acted it, produced it, played it, planned it out, with just one other guy to film it
Just recently found you, and loving your reactions. If you want to hear Ren REALLY rap, please, please react to "The Hunger", and for a real banger, you have to do "Losing it". The music, the video's, the whole package. they're gonna blow your mind. Love and respect from England
New to your channel, Ren brought me here 😊great reaction! Ren never fails to deliver, he is incredible! Another UK artist who s an incredible storytelling artist is Raye , check out her Brit awards performance as a taster , she s so good ! She s had a real struggle to get where she is now , enjoy 😊
I saw this video for the first time a year ago and you 3 are reminding me of how mind-blowing the whole thing is! ❤ 👏🏼👏🏼 Thank you! Subbing Now!! OMG the end, your faces! 😁
Yes! Violet's tale even has a salute to Immortal Technique! First the devil comes to dance, and then Stevie's left her bruised and broke almost like the thugs left William's mother layin' bloody, broken and bruised.
Ren a un talent supérieur. Ce gars redéfinit les standards de la musique populaire en y intégrant un bagage culturel considérable. Je ne serais pas étonné qu'il soit reconnu largement comme l'un des plus brillants artistes de sa génération.
I loved your blind reaction to this masterpiece by Ren. The performance by Ren in this trilogy is Epic. Everything is calculated and is on a beat, even without the instrumental sound. Based on what information I know, Ren is moving to LA after his health treatments in Calgary, AB, Canada, this Summer. It will be interesting. Great reaction guys! Keep up the good work.
Great reaction and a new subscriber here! Some more info I read in other comments or saw in some Ren interiews/shorts: Patrick was not at home because he was busy with Screech's girlfriend. "It's such a shame" is a quote of the officer who shot Screech stated in the article which inspired Ren for those tales. Jenny took over the silent traits of her mother and Screech the violent traits of his father. They had to film one of the tales again, because one of the neighbours told him to shut up screaming in the middle of the night, but was cool with it after they explained they're shooting a video. I read different explanations for the sound shortly before Ren is using the guitar as a gun: either it's his zipper of the jacket hitting the guitar (unintentionally) or he dropped an empty ammunition cartridge in the body of the guitar (intentionally)... Cheers from Munich, Germany
I ❤ your reaction guys! One of the best reactions I've seen for this track, thank you. I'm pretty sure if you look up the word "Talent" in any dictionary, it'll say "Ren" 😊.
Great reaction! You guys reacted to the "combined" version, Ren released each part separately. Jenny's tale was released 5 years ago in 2019, Screech's tale on the following year, and Violet's tale past year, when he closed the story and release this full version. Now note, that Jenny's tale was released in 2019, Ren says on the tale the Screech's was 14 years old (so as Jenny), and on Violet's tale he keep saying Violet's was in the hospital on "two zero zero five" (2005)....... 14 years before both brothers lost their lifes
Not distracting from Ren cuz it doesn't get much better, but the Teskey Brothers and Brothers Moving have some unique voices too. Love your reactions guys.
Great reaction Guys!Do you wanna feel Ren s Pain...Then try Penitence from Ren!One of Ren darkest songs!O what am i talking about,you Will find your ways hey Rens songs but keep this one onemind.Have good day...Amsterdam sas by by❤
Guy's, the trilogy is put together before 1 year, but the three different parts are made by period of time and posted separately . So combined the numbers for the story is way bigger.
That and they are probably thinking it should have "Hi Ren" numbers. 27 mil. But the way it was separated and the yrs in between each tale, then the final 13 min. version makes it harder for people to view without confusion etc.
So this was bass on a Facebook video Ren posted some 12 years ago. He released this version of Jenny’s Tale to RUclips in February 2019. Then he released Screech’s Tale in September 2019. The last one wasn’t posted until 2022. Then finally he released the trilogy which you watched. But it’s a piece of art many years in the making.
I havent finished watching, but wanted to comment on where you stop violets tale to talk about the acoustics. Thank you, I've seen quite a few reactions to this and they never mention about how the acoustics of the different rooms are used and how it adds to the song.
...lest we forget, this is 1 man, 1 guitar, that's it..... LIVE. Great reaction boys 👍
AND one cameraman! Don't forget Samuel, the unsung hero!
He's hardly 'unsung'. People refer to him constantly. As does Ren himself. :)
It is actually amazing. I forget that it’s just him and guitar.
Don’t forget Sam, the cameraman. He’s incredible
They’re both so amazing!!!
I am lucky enough to live above the shops at the end of Violets Tale.... saw this being filmed by Sam... D'oh incredible lads
F'ing not D'oh! 🤦
Wow... that IS f'ing incredible!
Oh wow you are so lucky.
Wooow ❤❤❤
That’s awesome.
Wait till you 3 react to Money Game 1, 2 and 3. The last one is phenomenal and will equally blow your mind.
100%
That’s a camera man & Ren with a his instrument. That’s one of the best pieces pf art ever.
Great reaction, guys. FYI, in an interview (forget which one) Ren said he and Samuel (his videographer) did have something ready to present to Netflix.... you never know! By the way, welcome to Bardcore and master storytelling.
Several interviews, and several of his live Twitch streams too. They are very serious about doing something for Netflix, but he has to get his treatment out of the way first before he can even think about approaching them.
There's been talks with Netflix apparently. Ren was in La recently and he's in New York this week. So watch this space 😂
Ren is moving to LA as soon as treatment is done, after summer this year. Sam will be joining him. They are working on a musical version of a "black mirror" type of show.
Ren has talked about doing a "Black Mirror" type anthology series much like this, but probably more complex. Apparently he and Sam, the guy who did the video work on this, have at least written, but perhaps filmed the first episode as an example of what the series could be. (He mentioned it in a live chat and I can't remember if he said if it is finished.) As Ren's reputation rises, I hope outfits like Netflix take note.
Could be one of the reasons he is moving to California, LA in Aug.
So some additional information for you. 1) regarding the views, bear in mind Jenny's Tale, Screech's Tale and Violet's Tale were all originally (and I think still are) individual videos, because they were not all released at once. Jenny's Tale was released first in 2019 and then Screech's Tale about 6 months later. Violet's Tale wasn't released until 2022. It was probably intended that he would do it in 2020, but then the world shut down, and because he was going to Canada when it opened back up, for treatment, he had a lot of videos he wanted to record so that he could still release stuff he had previously recorded, while he was in Canada getting the treatment. Now on to the actual story - Now that you know the twist, you become aware that Jenny's age was never mentioned in the song, but now you know what it is. So now you see Jenny's story in a new light, a 14 year old girl, walking the streets at night (like she had a thousand times before) - in her high heeled shoes. Screech refers to slicing the rosy off her cheeks - which is an old-timey reference to ladies of the night, wearing rouge. So it's pretty apparent at this point that Jenny the 14 year old girl, is working the streets at night. Further backed up by Screech in his own story suggesting that he had attacked a lady - he didn't say he attacked a girl, so he obviously thought she was much older than she really was. This is an epic story of intergenerational abuse. And it is helpful to know that in the UK when Violet moved at - at 16 and was given a council flat, that doesn't happen - because of the major housing shortage in the UK - UNLESS she was already pregnant when she moved out, which means she would already have been pregnant when she met Stevie, and is probably why Stevie kept saying she was a liar. Jenny and Screech's father, is likely to be Violet's father, rather than Stevie. Great reaction guys, I hope I added some context. You might like to know that if you search RUclips you will find a 360 degree live performance of The Tales in front of an audience, who all know the words. It's pretty fun to watch, especially when a very young kid is happily screaming away at the "come on then you fucking cunts, let's fucking have you then" line.

"What a twist!" and "Goosebumps out the WAzoo!"
best comments!! 😂😂😂 You guys are a treat to watch! Thank you for this reaction! I am looking forward to more from you 3 ❤❤
Thanks for loving and appreciating Ren and his music ! ❤❤
IMHO the "Tale of Jenny and Screech and Violet's Tale" is a Three Act Shakespearian Tragedy, in the style of the wondering minstrel bard. Ren has self identified his music as bard core, so that is confirmed. The use of music as interlude is an ancient technique.
This is a use of music; that goes right back through the wondering minstrel bards of the middle ages. The works of Chaucer sung in the Wife of Bath's ale house. And back to the Dark Ages of Anglo Saxon epic poetry of Beowulf, on through the Greek Homeric tales of The Iliad and The Odyssey and the beginning of the Choir. As Ren shows the music acts: in part as interlude/intro as well as melodic emphasis and sound effects for the story.
This form of story telling probably goes all the way back to Ugg twanging his Bow to woo the Chiefs Daughter. Or to complain about the Chief stealing the meat from his hunt, at the hut of the local Widow Ale Wife, where he and others would congregate to let off steam and tell tales of epic hunts. And then perhaps to draw on the local cave walls, the tale of their hunt while singing acting and dancing out their day. And even to this day you see the graffiti on the walls as Ren acts out and performs "The Tales."
As a sound engineer I spotted Ren's use of locational reverb as found sound. Something a stone age performer shaman would recognise and that has been shown to have occurred in ancient megalithic architecture and among the few still existing hunter gatherer societies that are studied by anthropologists today. They also got lucky with the Seagulls in part of the song which then was deliberately left in and emphasized in the mix.
I think that what was done in the tales calls to that ancient genetic heritage we all have. All of it indicates the intellectual level of the performance production in this piece that makes it true art.
Wow you hit the nail on the head!
However, the gulls (seagulls) were probably infuriating to ren. As they are supposed to be in London. All 3 tragedies in the tales mention London City specifically several times.
Gulls are seaside birds (he filmed all three tales in Brighton a Coastal Town)
Pigeons are the birds of the old smoke
Awww, watching the three of you absolutely captivated by every second of this video was also a treat, even if you weren't doing a lot of pausing to share your thoughts. It felt reverent, from this side of the screen. I don't ever mind reactors pausing a whole bunch because I'm there for their reaction and if they want to add a lot of words to their reaction, I'm definitely here for that (I'm always sad if I see the runtime of a reaction video isn't much longer than the runtime of Ren's video). But it sure was lovely to be along for the ride for the way you experienced this.
There is a live performance on line of Jenny and screech’s tale . It worth a look !
in Voilet tale he does the rewind sound on guitar to go back in time then later does it again forward go come to present time
Ren got the idea for Jenny tale from a news paper he read about a 14 year old boy that kill a young streetwalker with a knife
There was no indication that she was a prostitute. That's Ren's artistic interpretation. :)
@@Codex7777no but there was a real prostitute who died by a 14 year olds hand and that’s where he got the idea from just to clear up the what @williamparrish9954 said
You guys are great! Every time I watch you it’s like going back in time! Top Gun! Anybody thinks the same 😂 loved the reaction as always guys all the best!

Everything ren does just gets better and better the world has another star 🌟 in ren
I have just heard of REN this past week… and fell in love with his music… he’s so incredible!!!!!!
"He Shyamalan'd us". LMMFAO, THAT is AWSOME!!! 👍👍
That’s what you call a musical genius. He can use the acoustics of almost any place and make it magical. He’s brilliant.

‘He M . Night shamaland us!’ Haha! The village is my favourite of his! Great reactions guys. Thanks!😊xxx
Yes - finding those places/spaces and planning every step, all to serve the story and create the moods, that's what makes REN's videos (besides his instrument and his voice) so great.
A genius at work presenting his masterpieces - it's such a pleasure to watch/listen to him.
👍 for your reaction to Ren's videos, you're great, all three of you - thanks for that and
❤️greetings from Germany 👏👍🤝🙋♀️
Just won award for money games part 3. Number 1 album in Britain for sick boi. This fella and his enterage will go down in musical history without a shadow of a doubt.
Ren is outstanding 👌 goosebumps out the wazoo every time! He's a mad genius for sure.
The Money Game trilogy should absolutely be checked out as a whole aswell. Please 🙏 🤟
Great reaction, guys. Us Renagades call the tales Bardcore, Ren is a literary genius like William Shakespeare, so we call Ren the modern-day Bard, and because of the subject matter in the tales we get the core, like hardcore.!!
As for your netflix comment, Ren and Sam have already had meetings with Netflix executives, and it's a case of watching out on Ren's social media for any updates.
Once again Great reaction. This UK Renagade has just found your channel and is subbing to catch up on your other Ren reactions.!
Follow the bread crumbs of the Ren rabbit hole,there's more than a years worth of material to react to.!!!
Respect from the UK, 🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧👍
This my friends is what Ren terms Bardcore 🎉🎵🎶🍯🤌🙏✌️🐝🍀
You guys mentioned previously about grooving on Ren's collaborations, some that definitely should be checked are the works with Liv Sangster. Some of his current drops are also incredible as he continues to expand his work outside the box. Back on 74 and Fred Again mash-up particularly. 🤘🤙✌️
Great reaction guys!!🖤🖤🖤There's talk of him moving to LA with his team. Would be so cool to see Ren stretch his creative acting/producing side!! Ren is a once in a generation artist💯🔥🔥
😕
Besides the great singing, rapping, guitar play. Don't forget he is not just telling a story, and telling a story in a way that you believe is and get dragged into it takes alot of talent. But besides that. The fact that he wrote this story himself. To come up with a story like that and how everything connects, that takes another level of genius.
Yes, the man is a genius I carnt explain to my friends what this man can do 🎉
Okay... this was one of the best reactions to this masterpiece I've ever seen! Excellent job guys! I love how you were so hypnotized in the story, you guys were all silent and forgot to pause - excellent reaction!
Yoo! So early 😲 great reaction y'all! Ren's goal is actually to make a Netflix show eventually
Jenny and James yook on the traits of their mum and dad. Guys its f'in nuts one guy (not a team) wrote all that, acted it, produced it, played it, planned it out, with just one other guy to film it
What the shape shifting sheeple did i just watch😮😮😮 great job guys!❤
Just recently found you, and loving your reactions. If you want to hear Ren REALLY rap, please, please react to "The Hunger", and for a real banger, you have to do "Losing it". The music, the video's, the whole package. they're gonna blow your mind. Love and respect from England
Seriously one of those songs/short video I will never forget ❤ great reaction ❤❤
Ren inspired me to dust off my guitar from the attic and..... sell it!!
😂
Dude 🤣🤣
New to your channel, Ren brought me here 😊great reaction! Ren never fails to deliver, he is incredible! Another UK artist who s an incredible storytelling artist is Raye , check out her Brit awards performance as a taster , she s so good ! She s had a real struggle to get where she is now , enjoy 😊
Still say that Jeff Buckley could've been rens father
I can't wait till you 3 react to Money Game 1, 2 and 3!!! Each song he does is an art piece!
I saw this video for the first time a year ago and you 3 are reminding me of how mind-blowing the whole thing is! ❤ 👏🏼👏🏼 Thank you! Subbing Now!! OMG the end, your faces! 😁
He WANTS to do something for netflix
Ren already has most of series written which he plans to pitch to netflix which he says will be something along the lines of the tales
I’ve seen a hundred of these reactions . Great work guys .
Ren rabbit hole - welcome hahaha
Keep it going 🇨🇦🍻
Awesome reaction. I love the style you do your reactions... great stuff!
Ren is a genius! Thanks for a great reaction. ☮️❤️😎
Been waiting for this one i love seeing Ren freak yous out 💯🤘
It was great dude! 🤘 -J
@@TAHBofficial kinda crazy what you guys have seen is just the surface there is years of mind bender bangers 💯
Loved your reaction, guys. I just subscribed, and I'm looking forward to more.
Great reaction! Fun watching you. This isvyhe yhird song i ever heard from Ren.
Ren brought me here
Thank you for your reaction. 🙂I like to hear your point of view.
Definite Dance with the Devil vibes! Great reaction guys! REN is incredible for lack of better words!
Yes! Violet's tale even has a salute to Immortal Technique! First the devil comes to dance, and then Stevie's left her bruised and broke almost like the thugs left William's mother layin' bloody, broken and bruised.
Ren a un talent supérieur. Ce gars redéfinit les standards de la musique populaire en y intégrant un bagage culturel considérable. Je ne serais pas étonné qu'il soit reconnu largement comme l'un des plus brillants artistes de sa génération.
I loved your blind reaction to this masterpiece by Ren. The performance by Ren in this trilogy is Epic. Everything is calculated and is on a beat, even without the instrumental sound. Based on what information I know, Ren is moving to LA after his health treatments in Calgary, AB, Canada, this Summer. It will be interesting. Great reaction guys! Keep up the good work.
Magic reaction... 👊🏽
The fact screech told jenny not to look at her. If he looked at her maybe he would've seen the resemblance
“He just told all the neighbors” made me laugh.
Wonderful reaction
Brilliant reaction to this epic masterpiece fellas, loved it!
" that's how you tell F'n story!" 😂
Totaly captavating! Now im late for wprk! Well done guys!😮😮😮
Great reaction lads, came here after watching an NF reaction, would love to see you react to Losing it. Much love from the UK 🇬🇧👍🏻
Ren does this outdoors in sort of a busking atmosphere with a big crowd and he recorded it with the 360 camera it's cool
I love this video and always love the first time viewers reactions
Absolutely brilliant
My thoughts are at previous comments. Great reaction, guys
Fantastic reaction guys! Subbed for more! Try Seven Sins next 😊
Ren is a perfectionist in his productions
Great reaction to our Bardcore lyrical musical genius REN ❤
Great reaction and a new subscriber here!
Some more info I read in other comments or saw in some Ren interiews/shorts:
Patrick was not at home because he was busy with Screech's girlfriend.
"It's such a shame" is a quote of the officer who shot Screech stated in the article which inspired Ren for those tales.
Jenny took over the silent traits of her mother and Screech the violent traits of his father.
They had to film one of the tales again, because one of the neighbours told him to shut up screaming in the middle of the night, but was cool with it after they explained they're shooting a video.
I read different explanations for the sound shortly before Ren is using the guitar as a gun: either it's his zipper of the jacket hitting the guitar (unintentionally) or he dropped an empty ammunition cartridge in the body of the guitar (intentionally)...
Cheers from Munich, Germany
I ❤ your reaction guys!
One of the best reactions I've seen for this track, thank you.
I'm pretty sure if you look up the word "Talent" in any dictionary, it'll say "Ren" 😊.
Great reaction! You guys reacted to the "combined" version, Ren released each part separately. Jenny's tale was released 5 years ago in 2019, Screech's tale on the following year, and Violet's tale past year, when he closed the story and release this full version. Now note, that Jenny's tale was released in 2019, Ren says on the tale the Screech's was 14 years old (so as Jenny), and on Violet's tale he keep saying Violet's was in the hospital on "two zero zero five" (2005)....... 14 years before both brothers lost their lifes
Not distracting from Ren cuz it doesn't get much better, but the Teskey Brothers and Brothers Moving have some unique voices too.
Love your reactions guys.
Great reaction Guys!Do you wanna feel Ren s Pain...Then try Penitence from Ren!One of Ren darkest songs!O what am i talking about,you Will find your ways hey Rens songs but keep this one onemind.Have good day...Amsterdam sas by by❤
Great reaction guys.
He’s the master of ambient noise
Love the tales. Great reaction.
Medieval Bard vibes
Some are calling Ren RENbrandt because he paints pictures in our heads. Just genius.
Guy's, the trilogy is put together before 1 year, but the three different parts are made by period of time and posted separately . So combined the numbers for the story is way bigger.
That and they are probably thinking it should have "Hi Ren" numbers. 27 mil. But the way it was separated and the yrs in between each tale, then the final 13 min. version makes it harder for people to view without confusion etc.
Thanks for that info!!
Haha @ mentioning immortal techique 1.5 minutes in. Great intuition :)
don’t wait so long lads for the next REN…. pleeeeease 😂
So this was bass on a Facebook video Ren posted some 12 years ago. He released this version of Jenny’s Tale to RUclips in February 2019. Then he released Screech’s Tale in September 2019. The last one wasn’t posted until 2022. Then finally he released the trilogy which you watched. But it’s a piece of art many years in the making.
Love this reaction.
Hollywood struggle to fit that much into 2 hours!😂
Great reaction ✊🏼🐷❤️🔥
He indeed would be great actor, he reminds me of Cillian Murphy ~ Peaky Blinders.
Yeah!! Evan said that in the hi Ren video
Great Reaction guys!
Great reaction
I havent finished watching, but wanted to comment on where you stop violets tale to talk about the acoustics. Thank you, I've seen quite a few reactions to this and they never mention about how the acoustics of the different rooms are used and how it adds to the song.
