  • Seeing Ren in his Busking form brought back a lot of memories of performing on the road, in the streets, and just performing in general.

      Just a small spelling correction. The fantasic guitar players name is Romain Axisa (no e at the end) and the drummer is Glenn Chambers (two n:s).
      Their Bongo Bong cover is fantastic. Having heard the Manu Chao original before listening to it is recommended though. As usual with their covers they are capturing the soul of the original but making it even better.

    2 possibilities for the next Big Push busking video choice...
    1) War Pigs. It's from this same busking session, and they played it immediately after the Sheriff/Zion/Hip Hop track you covered today. And it's astounding (the Sabbath video - it's a medley too, with an extra surprise).
    2) Wade In the Water/Nina Simone/Trouble So Hard. Not enough channels look at this one. It features Ren on bass (something NO Ren fan should miss out on experiencing), and bassist Gorran gets to sing lead at one point (which happens in the Sabbath medley too, but idk, his vocals really stand out in my mind for this track).
    ... but...
    3) The Big Push's original material is SUPER worth watching. It's hard to believe they didn't get more attention as a band, while they were together.
    Edit: wait, Im on my phone so maybe I didnt do a good job of scanning your catalogue of vidéos, but... have you not touched Ren & Sam Blind-Eyed yet???
    I highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend that for your FIRST exposure to that song, you go with the live in MC (Music Crown) studios session. The Angry Patking Garage version is ALSO amazing, if you can't resist the lure of it, but for your first ever listen of the song imo go with the MC version. The official recording/music video is (you guessed it) great too, but the song is most stunning to ne when it's just Sam and Ren and Ren's accoustic guitar.

      What about the audio is garbage? It sounds fine to me. As an audio engineer and musician I think the levels are very good.

      Try 'Three Shades of Whatever's' reaction to Ren - Hunger, in your cans (how are you gonna "drop the treble"?) or 'Bro Action' - Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms and then listen to your own output in your headphones.

      @@dannythedoodle I'm trying to understand so i can make it better. But telling me to listen to others doesn't help explain why YOU think it sounds bad. What sounds bad?

      Is it the microphone? The music of the video I'm watching? What is it?

      @@dannythedoodle Alright I listened to the first one. They are way too far away from the mic and the music is like 10x louder than they are. Yeah you can hear the music, but you can't hear them for shit. I turn down the audio for all the music because its about _levels_ not blaring music in your ears so you can't hear the commentary.
      For the 'Bro Action' one the music video is using 160 bitrate which is the lowest you can use. I use 512. And again, the music is way louder than their voices. I have herad these songs before, I want to hear the commentary.
      This is coming from an audio engineering perspective as well as what I like to hear in a reaction video.
