- GUITARIST REACTS; THE BIG PUSH (I SHOT THE SHERIFF/ZION/HIP-HOP)
Much love the the Big Push community! thanks for taking me in
I'm a guitarist, songwriter, improviser, teacher, human.
I react from that perspective.

😃
The last song they did is a cover by Dead Prez called It's Bigger Than Hip-Hop (2000)
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!
Great reaction - loved your enthusiasm. I was there that day - I am definitely not a cool kid - and it was magical.
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?
'It was the dogs bollox playing in a ska band for a year'.
'It was the ducks nuts playing in a ska band for a year'.
'It was fkn awesome playing in a ska band for a year',
No-one can keep their feet still when they're watching a ska band, I love it
ROTFL…..you’re funny!!
One time The Big Push announced on Twitter that they were going to be performing in the city centre at a certain time and over 1000 kids turned up. The police had to come and cordon off the area so that it was pedestrian only, lol.
That’s amazing! Love hearing stories like that! I wish social media existed in the 90s when I was in the hot bands!!
Wade in the water is pretty epic. Obviously Ren is super talented but the big push are fantastic too.
Ok. It’s on the list
It’s been out a while now
Seen these guys live around Brighton many times, they're amazing and your reaction was fun to watch.
Obviously you know about Ren, but both Gorran Kendall (bass) and Romain Axisa (black guitar) have their own channels with solo work. Romain dropped an amazing guitar instrumental a couple of weeks ago and Gorran apparently has a new one coming out this week. Gorran's solo work has a more folksy vibe, as he grew up idolising Bob Dylan.
I loved watching how much you enjoyed this one! Someone asked about their recording process in the comments on the original video and the answer from The Big Push was: "We line out with Zoom mics and use our phones and camera audio and mix later."
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!
Love this one so much! It sounds like you've only seen Hi Ren with Ren's solo stuff? If so I think it's pretty cool for you to start down the rabbit hole with his busking, it's where he honed his craft and has a major influence on how he makes his solo songs. I do hope you'll get to his solo work eventually, as it's all incredible and incredibly diverse, but a couple more recommendations for after Englishman in New York would be Bongo Bong and Paint It Black/Lonely Boy.
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!!
The last song they do is called "Bigger Than Hip Hop" by Dead Prez, an underground hip hop duo from the late 90's that had, and still do have, a pretty dedicated following amongst hip-hop purists. They did a lot of activism in and around NY, and a lot of their music was social justice type songs. I'm pretty sure that Ren is doing the actual lyrics from this song. I saw another reaction from an old school hip-hop head that was massively impressed with Ren and band actually playing the songs much less getting the lyrics right. Here's the original. Great reaction by the way!! ruclips.net/video/CA25E0DNd3Y/видео.html
Thank you for recognizing the ska - you are the first one I heard call that out. Brings me back to my Op Ivy concerts.
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.
It's a cover of 'Hip hop' by Dead Prez but sounds SO different with this arrangement 😊 love from U.K x
Loved your intro! Please do An Englishman in New York. “Funnest” if you want! This is great to listen to any time.
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.
Love your energy, and I hear some Sting influences also. Good catch!
Thank you so much for saying that!
Yeah totally Sting in there!
Sting is one of Ren's favourite artists n influence
Rap was Dead Presidents. This is generational talent! Great content 🔥
Thank you
Chinchilla and Ren have great chemistry!
Great reaction! I have heard Ren was talking about his best friend that committed suicide.
Sad, yet beautiful. Their timing is amazing!
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!
I love ska too, Ren has all the influences smashed into him. Like mash lol He is one badass artist, as are all the muso's in The Big Push, hope they all tour when Ren's better.
Great react love ya work❣️
Couldn't agree more!
This is great. Ren freestyling on some. With a little bit of love, is a garage song in England from the 90s/2000s. The Ren and Big Push rabbit hole is a good one.
I’m going all the way down! :)
Idk if you checked out Ren and Sam Tompkins busking “Earned It”, “It’s a Man’s Man’s Man’s World” and “Falling” yet, but if not, that should be the next one to react to
I haven’t yet…. Thanks for the tip!
The Big Push made some magic together. Very talented. Miss them and their uniqueness and versatility. Ren is a very talented producer and they do all their own mixing. They do some work in-studio after the fact.
I appreciate your reaction from a guitarist’s point of view. Always wished they’d come busk on my street!
Thank you for an entertaining reaction. Your facial expressions are telling and that’s a great thing❤
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.
Sting!! Yes! My God, thank you for saying that. It's been bugging the hell out of me for days now...
Glad I could help! :)
@@michaelgoyettemusic Ha! Me too!! I'm really enjoying your reactions, by the way.
Ren is SOMETHING ELSE!💯🤘❤️🔥❤️🔥
Absolutely!!
Great reaction. Save Ferris' version of Come on Eileen is one of my favourite tracks.
It was a great version of the tune!
Thanks for hanging out with me!
Have you reacted to runs solo stuff starting of course, with his video that recently taken him viral - finally - called “Hi Ren”? - Love to see you react to more of run solo stuff, including the full version of the trilogy of “the tale of Jenny & Screech (with Violet’s tale being the ending in last of the trilogy) as well as Money game part 1 and 2. And check out the big push bongo bong.
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.🤯😎
I had the most fun that year, but everyone knows what you meant by "funnest". If I am being honest, it did sound pretty damn fun. Great reaction! Keep up the good work.
So helpful! One day I’ll master my first language!! :)
Thanks for the encouraging words! Have a great day!
You’re the second reactor to say that he has a touch of Sting in his voice! The other one was a British reactor! 🔥🔥🔥
It sounds like this other reactor is very smart!! ;)
Hip Hop is a Dead Prez cover. Perfectly blended with Marley vibes
It certainly did!
The rap part is a cover from Dead prez with hip hop. Great hip hop song that not enough people know.
Thank you!
The Big Push as a band perform many song "mash-ups" when busking. This was 3-5 different songs transitioned into and out of.
Looking forward to Ren's Englishman in New York next.
Just subscribed for more Ren.
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
I LOVE Save Ferris!! Every weekend was ska shows in PhX in my teens! Awesome review! 🖤🤘
The ska section is from a duo called "DJ Luck and MC Neat". It's titled "A Little Bit of Luck"
Oh cool. I didn’t realize. 🙏
His stuff is just massively interesting, it never ends.
I’m discovering that!
Thanks for watching
Love it, i think i recommended it before but one of their original song would be good place to go, The Big Push - Watch Out (live busking)
You can vote as many times as you like! The rules are loose around here! :)
6:30 "That was sweet!" Yes, it was. Thanks for doing this. 🙂❤
Hi sweety x loved your reaction...totally in love with Ren...not felt this excited about a singer/songwriter since Jeff Buckley....please react to his collab..Humble....I think you will love it xx
Save Ferris has the best cover of "Come On, Eileen" in existence. I listen to it once a week or so. Subbed.
It was one of my favs to perform!! We did it even faster live!
Thanks for the sub! I appreciate it!
I AM SMITTEN WITH EVERYTHING REN DOES!
You must be human!? ;).
@@michaelgoyettemusic Very much so! ha ha👠
Makes sense! Haha
Yes I got Sting as well, it may be an English voice But he is for above Sting. If watch you watch more of his Diversity in Music, He's called a Bard.
I had to look that up!! Yes!!
It's really nice listening to your reactions. Thank you. Much love
I appreciate that
STING!! You nailed it.
Great minds…….:)
The rapping at the end is from a track called Hip Hop by Dead Prez.
Thanks.
This is my favourite of The Big Push videos, I watch it multiple times a day 😂🖤
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! ❤️
My man Ren - he is so, so talented check out all of Ren's stuff he is so good.
I sure will!! Thanks coming to the channel!
@@michaelgoyettemusic Of course - I'm intrigued to watch more of your videos now
If you haven't seen "Hi Ren", you HAVE to start there, EVERYONE from Rappers to video producers to poets are calling it Next Level.
I may do a video explaining how it has impacted me and breaking down the musical themes….I absolutely loved it!!!!
This was such a great reaction! I learnt mire about the guitar play, got to enjoy the music again with you, and found out mire about musician you. Great combination! I live how they love every second of the music. There is nothing automatic about this, and what a blend! The final rap is Dead Prez. Here is the original: ruclips.net/video/NDGxJoxNUpI/видео.html Thank you again for this.
Thanks for the kind words…I’m so glad you found value in my reaction. Stay safe!
I would be late for a funeral just so I could stay and watch the entire set!❤
😂 ❤️
As long as it isn’t your own! 😝
Very nice.... Thank you.
Cheers!
🪀 I loved that little thing that Romain did at exactly 5:39. I'm not a guitarist, but it kind of sounded like a muffled/muted hammer-on-pull off thing. Maybe you can enlighten me, Michael?
Dude I loved Save Ferris! What a random detail!
I did too!!! It was a super fun band!
Think you'd like Ren - Hi Ren he is the one who sang the big push's version of I shot the sheriff
I’m trying to plan something special for Hi Ren……it’ll be out in early April.
Great reaction m8 - all the best from the UK
Much appreciated
Save Ferris?! That’s so awesome
'Funnest' is fine by me.
That’s seems to be the consensus this far. :)
As great as this is, if you haven't seen his video, "Hi Ren," you HAVE to watch it! You are not prepared for what yo will hear!
We’re getting there! :)
I believe Ren does all the audio stuff so you need to ask him how they record because I have no idea. It sounds like studio quality. He loves interacting with people so he more than likely will answer.
Where would I reach out to him?
Does he stream on Twitch or anything?
Not only the cool kids on other busking session you can see an older generation 😉
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!!
Dead prez - hip hop is a classic rap song anthem
Thank you
I LOVE Romain Axisa ( the guitar solo) he is fast becoming my fav
He’s got my attention!
"Funniest year of my life" yeah I bet! Never met people as chill as ska lovers, just upbeat, fun peeps all around.
Yeah very much so!!
They all smoked weed and practiced jazz all day when we weren’t playing! Haha
Its like warm butter on popcorn
Delicious!! :)
There is one Ren song that seems to be under the radar so far and it's a real gem. Try reacting to "Ocean ft Eden Nash". Great rapping and some pretty sweet vocals too.
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
the last bit is Dead Prez -Hip Hop
Got it. Thanks
All those cool kids, are just Brightonians. It’s a city with it’s own flavour, vibe going on ❤
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". ruclips.net/video/wC9KrhHBOw8/видео.html
Lol all the cool kids 😂 you should say Girlzz… ❤
😂……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 RUclips 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!!
How about doing BRAINWASHED - Tom Macdonald or SNOWFLAKES
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….
-
Hey -- Me -- # 300 -- Commenter . Guess I
should say something . A very nice reaction .
-
Big Push, ❤ did the best for this song. Added some rap. It rocked
I like your reaction. Keep it up.
Thanks….I appreciate that…
Definitely a touch of Sting!
For sure!
Nice reaction video! And filling in for Save Ferris sounds awesome! Definitely call it funnest, regardless of the grammatical validity of the word. ;)
Thanks for watching!
I like your attitude towards grammar!! ;)
Most fun.
Most funnest? 😂
Cheers
In case it hasn’t been mentioned, vocals and instruments were recorded each directly and mixed in post.
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.
8:21 lol.. (It might have been the most fun year of my life) ;).
That does sound righter!! ;)
Most fun
Ty!!
its a cover from Dead Prez - Hip Hop
Thanks
I've been thinking how they got such a good recording. I assume the 3 Roland cube's have a line out and maybe there's another mic behind the cubes (I'd use a zoom audio recorder using the line out). then maybe it goes into some digital multitrack device (I had a Tascam portastudio in the mid 80's and that had battery's) and mixed later with the video content. I know the cubes and zoom have battery's too. The biggest hurdle is Ren's vocals and Guitar must be going through the same amp but since there's no apparent clipping when both are in play I guess these cubes are brilliant bits of kit.
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.
you should Check out, Tom MacDonald "ashes" "Riot" or "people so stupid"
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
The most fun I've ever had funnest sounds good tho
That seems to be the consensus! Lol
I think the proper usage is "most funnest" ;)
Absolutely!! Haha
I love Save Ferris' version of Come On Eileen!
It was awesome! I agree
You should definitely react to their version of Englishman in New York!
It’s coming up next! Thanks
Most fun is technically the "proper" way of saying it, BUT...languages are supposed to be alive and always evolving, growing, and changing. So long as people understand what you mean, who gives a toss about "proper"?
Do NOT miss that Englishman in New York cover...it's class.
Check out wade in the water from the big push!!
Whoa brother Save Ferris was cool....that's amazing...
It was definitely a highlight of my years in LA!
Please do An Englishman in New York next I love it!
I was already leaning that way but I think you just tipped the scale!! Expect it within 48 hrs!! Thanks for watching with me!
The other heavily referenced track is DJ Luck & MC Neat, with a little bit of luck
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
The funniest year
😂
I love the reaction. And I love save Ferris I saw them in I think it was 98 in Portland.
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.
Very very famous hip hop song from Ded Prez
The Big Push doesn't attract the cool kids--- they MAKE them! 🤪
😆
Great reaction! Please check out one of their originals "Watch Out"...I think you'll love the guitar work 😉
Thanks so much!!
I'll check it out!
Ren reads reaction videos. Just ask him how his music is made
I loved Save Ferris and I forget her name but the singer was great
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. ❤
Anybody know if the Ska Punk piece is an actual song or just improvised?
They were all songs…..they mixed lyrics in while playing the same I shot the sheriff chords…..the rap was a Dead Prez song.
most fun. :)
I’m surprised you don’t seem to have been asked to react to ren, hi ren. Would love to see it. Anyway I subbed just in case you do.
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
Dead Prez Hip Hop released in 1999
🙏
Think it’s one of most fun
funist is perfect 😂 x
