The original was like him living a wild carefree life with reckless abandon and addiction. Where the new one is about him having matured and coming to terms with the consequences of his youth and abuse.
All respect to Ronnie, as an extrordinary and talented musician, but It's not like this is the first time a metalband has showcased different layers within their music that is not particular "rage filled" or "angry. Just saying.
I love both versions of the song... but the reimagined version definitely gets you in the feels. Just the lyrics alone are simply amazing. Crazy how time goes by and you reflect on songs you grew up listening to at a point in your life when your more mature..... how those songs influenced you. So happy for the band making gold status on that album. Well deserved.
Hey guys! It actually isnt really the 10 year mark, they’re touring it right now because it went Gold. Thats why it’s called The Drug in Me is Gold tour :) The album released in 2011
The tour is great, btw. Just did the VIP meet & greet experience in Kansas City. Was kinda hoping they'd perform the 'Reimagined' version, but the old one was still awesome. Checked y'all out on Spotify after watching the reaction video, and was impressed. Love the guttural screams!
Ive watched dozens and dozens of reactions to this song, and the sir on the left had the best reaction at the end. Hit that golden buzzer, and send these boyz straight to hollywood!!! XD ahahaha Great video guys!
Crown the empire: machines Asking Alexandria: not the American average Oceans ate Alaska: escapist Take your pick guys and that was a great reaction video!
Every few years or more we hear music and vocals like this, the only word I can think of... Transcending. Every person I've talked to or watched reacting get goosebumps or become semi hypnotized.
This song played this way made me completely and forever fall in love with this band and especially Ronnie…..sometimes it takes one thing ….one word or song to move someone…and this was it for me….I’m devoted
As someone who loves singers of all types, I wish that everyone who thinks metal bands are full of guys that “can’t sing, just scream” would watch that video.
Guys: This was a fantastic reaction. I have never heard of you or seen a video, but I loved the thorough analysis - especially with the input of fellow musicians. Subscribed.
I love so much that the guy on the right (as I'm viewing) had exactly the same reaction to this video as I had. I've just watched the reaction to popular monster too and subscribed to your channel :)
This is probably my favorite reaction to the Reimagined version. Y’all hit the nail on the head with the, “it’s like comparing apples to oranges”. NO SHIT, wow 👏🏻 y’all are the first to say that.
I love that you guys love the strings. My son plays a viola in an orchestra. Hits me in the heart time....than he breaks out the guitar and jams. Lol. Multi talented. I watched jimmy page get emotional watching a young girl play her violin. It’s nice to see people appreciate all forms of music.
I saw them last Friday night, and they opened the set with it. It was incredible. Great video guys. You go much deeper into the analysis than some other reaction videos out there.
TrueShot Official the video came out the day before we saw them, and my wife and I probably watched it about 20 times. A lot of people clearly hadn’t, cause everyone knew the lyrics, but didn’t realize how slow the whole song was, and would sing a few words ahead before they realized how much he slows down the “feet don’t fail me now” line. But yeah, it was amazing.
It’s pretty crazy to think what’s up his sleeve and what he’s working on now and what’s coming in the future and how this next album will piece up. It’s gonna be difficult to keep staying at this consistency but knowing Ronnie he will keep that consistency maybe even rise the bar. He’s just that talented. That SOB 🤣 but I am excited though for what’s coming ❤️ haha
I just saw them in concert on February 12th in Ft. Lauderdale this song Live was freaking absolutely amazing. There are some Live videos of it, I myself did one. You guys should react to Losing My Life/Losing My Mind and Drugs ft. Corey Taylor in that order because it's a Trilogy with the songs & videos.
Theres a guy named Sean Rooney on YT that says he arranged and played on the recording of this song. He has a video of him playing the entire song. If you watch him play the piano solo vs Ronnie, its not the same hand movements. I think Ronnie is a visionary and lyrical genius but I do think he definitely gets help bringing it to full fruition. I know he can play the piano but I was skeptical of this kind of level. ruclips.net/video/NOUxrMcejlI/видео.html
I believe your the first to notice the fangs, it has a major vampiric theme to the production at least to me. I love the original version but this one you can't really compare to the other, they are like Apples and Oranges. Good job, love hearing your interpretation and feedback to this amazing Video.
oh wow group of reactors all wearing headphones and individually mic'd so they can actually hear and react to the subtleties of the music instead of playing it over laptop speakers like WOW what an amazing concept who would have such a genius idea for a reaction video!!!! True musicians lol
Iakona Sisler Thank you! We are going to be doing something very soon where we will be reacting to requests guaranteed! So, if you want to subscribe and stick around for that, please do so! Thank you for watching 🙂
Ronnie has older songs that are ballads as well so he has grown but he already was good at everything like listen to Brother it's amazing and a tear jerker you should totally listen on the channel!
Ronnie didn't write nor record the piano for this. An Irish musician recorded his own rendition of the song on the piano and sent it to Ronnie not expecting to get any reply he was asked can he use it and he will give him credit for it. No credit given yet as far as I'm aware.
I believe they're actually werewolf fangs. This video "storywise" is after Popular Monster. So it's Ronnie now burning away the misery he felt when he wrote this when he was in jail.
I love yalls reaction... and I keep think of Tom Hardy when looking at the dude on the left .LOL... And it the vocalist? on the right is super deep just talking voice ill have to check your music out. But props to a REAL reaction...
The girl is the same as the one on the cover for the album the original ‘The Drug in Me Is You’ and the fangs are a nod to ‘I’m Not A Vampire’. These were easter eggs to the fans of the original album.
Hey Taron! We are doing a promotion right now where if you pre-save our newest single, Paradigm feat. Aidan Holmes, coming out on 3/13, we will guarantee your reaction request! You’ll also be entered in to win a Nintendo Switch Lite! All you have to do is screenshot the proof and email us at trueshotofficialgmail.com! Pre-Save here!: show.co/RUtdEfC
Apples to Oranges, everyone time someone says that, I can’t help but think how similar they are lol both fruits, round, have skin, grow on trees, edible, have seeds.... but you can’t compare them? don’t get it lol
This version is almost as epic as Disturbed's Sound of Silence (IMO). I still think Popular Monster is slightly better out of the 4 (5?)songs they've released
New sub!!!!! Great job guys 🥰🥰 xoxo boss lady dee from lfr family😘 add on..Yal should react to Eminem new album music to be murdered by (explicit) out of ur comfort zone maybe but will give u a ton more subs.
@@TrueShotOfficial Hell yeah, nice! Polaris just dropped the whole album today and it's so good. But also, if you haven't heard anything by Imminence, they're terrific.
@@TrueShotOfficial Nice! You guys should listen to one of Ronnie's old singles called Fair Weather Fans. It tells his story of how he's changed over the years and how he's so proud to be where he's at
The original was like him living a wild carefree life with reckless abandon and addiction.
Where the new one is about him having matured and coming to terms with the consequences of his youth and abuse.
Love itn
People: ugh metalheads are so rage filled and unlikable. They can't appreciate anything that isn't angry
Ronnie Radke, an intellectual:
ronnie is an ultimate package RAP/ROCK/METAL
I have legit never heard anybody say that.
@@Lymbo88 Legit been told this so many times before.
All respect to Ronnie, as an extrordinary and talented musician, but It's not like this is the first time a metalband has showcased different layers within their music that is not particular "rage filled" or "angry. Just saying.
I love how he managed to throw a jumpscare into the song. That sudden turn into the scream part is amazing.
Seriously!!
When I first watched it it scared tf outta me
I like how they used the girl from the old album cover as the girl in this video
Is it the same girl???
“I’m in a trance”😂 we are all there lol
He just replied "yeah"😂😂
I love both versions of the song... but the reimagined version definitely gets you in the feels. Just the lyrics alone are simply amazing. Crazy how time goes by and you reflect on songs you grew up listening to at a point in your life when your more mature..... how those songs influenced you. So happy for the band making gold status on that album. Well deserved.
An excellent rendition
Brining ballads back. It's a good thing. metal got away from it for a while. Hopefully they're making a comeback. They show the range of the singer.
Hey guys! It actually isnt really the 10 year mark, they’re touring it right now because it went Gold. Thats why it’s called The Drug in Me is Gold tour :) The album released in 2011
Ahhh. Thanks for letting us know! We try to be as accurate as possible!!
TrueShot Official no problem! You gained a new subscriber btw, I loved the reaction :)
Brad H thank you!! We really appreciate it.
The tour is great, btw. Just did the VIP meet & greet experience in Kansas City. Was kinda hoping they'd perform the 'Reimagined' version, but the old one was still awesome. Checked y'all out on Spotify after watching the reaction video, and was impressed. Love the guttural screams!
New single soon!!!
Ronnie said this song is done for the fans that have been there since the beginning
I'm guessing the vampire teeth were a nod to the song I'm not a Vampire. Great reaction. Chills!
Or are they werewolf teeth, since he was raised by the wolves?
Or because he’s a Popular Monster?
I think it might be a hint to him re imagining THAT song more than a nod to it!
Can we just take a second to appreciate the amazing lyrics in this song?
Ive watched dozens and dozens of reactions to this song, and the sir on the left had the best reaction at the end.
Hit that golden buzzer, and send these boyz straight to hollywood!!! XD ahahaha
Great video guys!
Hahahaha thank you!
Hate the be that guy buuuuuuut thats the right
@@gokudied I have a feeling this is Derek who is in the middle in this reaction, so technically it would be his left 😅
Seriously one of the most beautiful songs ever!
This is how he’s opening the show on tour. Wife and I went to the opening show in San Antonio. Walked out to it and killed it
Did he actually play the piano the same way he does in the video?
Crown the empire: machines
Asking Alexandria: not the American average
Oceans ate Alaska: escapist
Take your pick guys and that was a great reaction video!
Great songs!
I went to go see them in Richmond last Friday and let me tell ya... this song is great in person😳
Was there for Richmond show also, Ronnie was Absolute, again🤘🤘
Every few years or more we hear music and vocals like this, the only word I can think of... Transcending. Every person I've talked to or watched reacting get goosebumps or become semi hypnotized.
"I didn't even know that he plays piano"
That got me too! Damn!
Crazy!
As an fan back during Ronnies ETF days and being 14 back in the day, your description is accurate on the maturity of the fans.
That ending is a thing of beauty
This song played this way made me completely and forever fall in love with this band and especially Ronnie…..sometimes it takes one thing ….one word or song to move someone…and this was it for me….I’m devoted
Song makes you wanna close your eyes and just turn it all the way up and just chill lol it puts you in a trance
As someone who loves singers of all types, I wish that everyone who thinks metal bands are full of guys that “can’t sing, just scream” would watch that video.
Guys:
This was a fantastic reaction. I have never heard of you or seen a video, but I loved the thorough analysis - especially with the input of fellow musicians.
Subscribed.
Thanks, Matthew! We hope to bring this kind of analysis with each review!
Ballads are my favorite expression of rock. So glad Ronnie made this and hopefully more bands will make them again
I was at their Cleveland show, it was phenomenal! He sounds really good live.
I need to see it!
Haha I was there! Audience was fucking insane
Having fangs in the video immediately gives the whole video a Dracula feeling. 🖤
I love so much that the guy on the right (as I'm viewing) had exactly the same reaction to this video as I had.
I've just watched the reaction to popular monster too and subscribed to your channel :)
❤️
My name is Richard. Nice to meet ya!
A Masterpiece... maturity, indeed !!!
(10 years after, a new vision of his redemption)
Good Job Guys...
Thx (salute from France)

Love the reaction guys. Much respect from Toronto
Thanks, man!!
Hey guys Ronnie just watched y’all for the second time... then watched one of your actual songs. He loved it!!!!!! He’s live on twitch right now
Checked it out. Super cooooool!!!!
When he said Ronnie had vampire fangs in I had to rewind the video and double-check lmao. I don't have my glasses on.
I just saw them in concert on February 12th in Ft. Lauderdale this song Live was freaking absolutely amazing. There are some Live videos of it, I myself did one. You guys should react to Losing My Life/Losing My Mind and Drugs ft. Corey Taylor in that order because it's a Trilogy with the songs & videos.
I get to see this tomorrow. Whole body chills
Lucky!
As a fellow singer, I could tell Richard was in the zone. Some songs just make you want to sing them, too. Could see it in his mouth. lol
I was waiting for you guys to hit this one.
😁
The guy on the right said it all...without saying anything 🤘🔥🤘
You guys have to react to his 3 part song, Losing my life, losing my mind and drugs ...
I really love your reaction videos!
Alex Alvarado thanks Alex!
I think they released a behind the scenes for the music video and i did see Ronnie adding input in it
Adept - Wounds. No music video but they are a Swedish Metal Core band. Sleepless is a fantastic album. Hope you react to them.
Absolutely wonderful album. Dark Clouds is one of my favorites ❤️

We also discovered all of the elements on the periodic table
Ronnie Radke just reacted to your music on his live stream. 🙂
you guys really need to react to Jinjer their song Pisces is a super popular song for people to react to and I know you guys won't regret it
We love Jinjer and know Pisces really well!
Aw damn I am both glad and disappointed to hear that. Anyway keep up the good work regardless

Asking Alexandria ‘Vultures’. I Prevail ‘Bow Down’. Thank you guys.
Ronnie kinda seems like he's taking on the role of Ozzy
Great reaction boys!!!
Ronnie has older songs that are ballads as well so he has grown but he already was good at everything like listen to Brother it's amazing and a tear jerker you should totally listen on the channel!
We should!!!
@@TrueShotOfficial yes yes yes plz
The feels are real! 😳❤️
Asking Alexandria "Killing You" and "Death of Me".
We will definitely get Asking Alexandria on the channel!
@@TrueShotOfficial Sweet!
The crazy thing is he wrote most of The Drug In Me Is You album while he was locked up in prison and annoyed his cellie with the noise he made lol
Ronnie didn't write nor record the piano for this. An Irish musician recorded his own rendition of the song on the piano and sent it to Ronnie not expecting to get any reply he was asked can he use it and he will give him credit for it. No credit given yet as far as I'm aware.
In a reaction video he does give credit, when reacting to third Ernest
I believe they're actually werewolf fangs. This video "storywise" is after Popular Monster. So it's Ronnie now burning away the misery he felt when he wrote this when he was in jail.
Have you done Im not a vampire revamped yet? Awesome!
We will be!
I love yalls reaction... and I keep think of Tom Hardy when looking at the dude on the left .LOL... And it the vocalist? on the right is super deep just talking voice ill have to check your music out. But props to a REAL reaction...
Left - guitar and clean vocals
Middle - bass
Right - vocals
🙂
Thanks for checking out the reaction and hope you enjoy our music 🙂
The can’t you see screams was the extra length
you boys are from my homestate... Greetings from Meredith 😊
Awesome!!
The girl is the same as the one on the cover for the album the original ‘The Drug in Me Is You’ and the fangs are a nod to ‘I’m Not A Vampire’. These were easter eggs to the fans of the original album.
Loved this reaction - guys which of your songs is that at the end btw?
That is Paris of our 2019 EP 😬😁
@@TrueShotOfficial thank you, man I love this song!!
He can actually play piano lesson to brother you can listen off screen but yes that was raw talent
Check out his song 'Brother'....a tribute to his brother dying! Same emotion and piano structure.

DUDES RONNIE IS REACTING TO THIS VIDEO ON TWITCH! And he went and checked your band, you should see it!
Thank you, Adriana!!
Ronnie is a pianist, however he had a stand in for that solo crescendo. Awesome vid review 🤘🔥
Ronnie is so talented that he is able to be a band himself
You guys should react to DeadVectors - The Hive it’s insane
Totally different vibe. This version is fucking heavy.
relatively new subscriber here even though I've seen a few vids from you guys. Who's the guy in the middle? Is he part of the band too?
Yes! That’s Derek, our bass player! We figured we’d let him out of his cage for a bit 😝
Yeah, I've been in like 10 bands (not as a bass player), but most of them don't get noticed. Don't know why.
Ronnie is a self-taught pianist.
㊗ hi goku here, im a metal vocalist and a gamer, thought id ask if i could use your misic in my videos as well as promote you guys
I forgot that he was a vampire in the original one
WTF they are on tour and Ronnie still has the time to play CoD on twitch XD
The grind never stops
Apples to Oranges, everyone time someone says that, I can’t help but think how similar they are lol both fruits, round, have skin, grow on trees, edible, have seeds.... but you can’t compare them? don’t get it lol
I listened to Paris and Purgatory and my initial thoughts were (vocally) Batmetal/Dethklok and Blink 182, odd combination but not bad.
LOL! I always say Adam has the Ton DeLonge voice!
New material will be much better. New single soon.
Dude in the middle looks exactly like Simon from the channel eatyourkimchi
This version is almost as epic as Disturbed's Sound of Silence (IMO). I still think Popular Monster is slightly better out of the 4 (5?)songs they've released
I think Popular Monster is the best song they've ever released, to be honest. :v
Suprisingly enough it is the tempo. Nothing was added. It was the exact lyrics
Handling young love; vs Mature love is my take.
Major Tim Burton vibes
That's ronnie for ya!
New sub!!!!! Great job guys 🥰🥰 xoxo boss lady dee from lfr family😘 add on..Yal should react to Eminem new album music to be murdered by (explicit) out of ur comfort zone maybe but will give u a ton more subs.
he puts pain in their voice
Yes he does
Hey guys, maybe Masochist by Polaris or Paralyzed by Imminence? Also, I just subscribed!
We’ll be filming Hypermania and Landmine Tuesday! We’ve already heard Masochist 😁
@@TrueShotOfficial Hell yeah, nice! Polaris just dropped the whole album today and it's so good.
But also, if you haven't heard anything by Imminence, they're terrific.
U should check out the original the drug in me is u ....this is the remagined version
Yes, we watched it before filming!
u knw the song is grea when evry1 is on the silent mode!
Love the Zeus in the background
That’s our EP album artwork!
🔥🔥
I feel like I know the dude on the right
Oh yeah? What’s up!
@@TrueShotOfficial did you used to go to in dire need shows back in the day?
I did not!
Wow
Would You Like to react to something new???
EZOX - Wake Up (It's Too Late) CLIP
It's actually my band honestly, but i'd love to know your thoughts
We are going to be doing something very soon where will guarantee to react to all requests, so stick around for that! 🙂
Plz react to Champion by falling in Reverse
Have you guys listened to Drugs by them yet!?!
Yes!
@@TrueShotOfficial Nice! You guys should listen to one of Ronnie's old singles called Fair Weather Fans. It tells his story of how he's changed over the years and how he's so proud to be where he's at
