And this is why the Renegades are such devoted fans. Imagine going through what Ren has been through and to still have this beautiful outlook on life (however idealistic it may seem on the outside). If there were more people like Ren in the world, it would be a far better place. Ren is not your usual stereotypical music star.
Musician to musician, rector to reactor, friend to friend, man to man - Bro, it is a gift to my life to see you finding success through music, kindness and love. I might’ve suggested you do the first reaction, but you’ve built all of this up on your own laurels and efforts. I’ve been in the unique position of getting to watch, enjoy and celebrate your successes differently than others have and that’s been a blessing to me. Keep moving forward, homie.
Why is this thread making me cry? I feel like REN somehow unlocked all of these emotions I didn’t know I had buried, and you guys keep pulling them out of me. I genuinely don’t understand what’s going on with me.
“But my music is really connecting And the people who find it, respect it And for me, that's enough 'cause this life's been tough So it gives me a purpose I can rest in” This line from “Hi REN” says so much about him It’s not only about his talent but also people instinctively feel that he’s so authentic that pulls us towards REN ❤
The best thing to come out of REN’s music is the community of like minded people that has developed. This seems especially important with all the negativity in the world at the moment xx
Lovely to 'meet' you properly. Thank you for giving us part of your story, it actually fits very well with Ren's musings on subscribers and trying to find a way to make this crazy RUclips platform fulfilling. Walterooski is such a lovely guy, you're both living the 'rising tide' philosophy that means so much to the Renegades. ❤
Now you understand why it was recommended though it isn’t one of his songs. This video shows exactly why the RENegades love him so dearly. Ren is not just a brilliant artist but a beautiful human being who genuinely just wants to lift others up and inspire positive change in the world. If you have travelled far enough down the rabbit hole, none of this is surprising because it shines through in his art. Ren stands for authenticity, courageous vulnerability, and community. But this video is still very much worth watching because of how eloquently he expresses his wisdom and gives us all hope. As Ren reminds us: we are all just humans, flawed and prone to missteps, and that’s okay. Clearly any flaws of Ren just makes him more beautiful and inspirational for the rest of us through acceptance, transparency, and transformation. The world needs Ren 🖤🐰🕳️
The Ren Effect has been the most beautiful thing to witness over the last few years!! I'm so glad i found Ren in the early days so i could watch this Renegade community grow to what its become today. It's quite amazing!! ❤🥰
Right there with you- feels like I have a 3rd Brother now, who has his hand on my shoulder in my hardest moments giving me strength. Sounds insane, but so what, it has been my own catalyst for so much positive growth out if my darkest year, unexpected here in my late 40s, Ren is someone I didn't know existed as of April 2024 and he has changed my life. Not a cult, for sure 😮!!! Ah man, that just put the 80s classic song "Cult of Personality " - Living Colour - into my head - and that is a great gift as I haven't thought of it in years but it is SO Ren...if they hadn't written it he would have 😅 Gonna go noodle it out on my Geeetar now :) . Peace, love, and light ✨️- Drew of the DMV
Walter is such a nice guy, isn't he? So greatful he sent you in the right direction and for us being able "meeting" you. The rising tide baby! As for answering to comments - for me personally it doesn't really matter if you comment or not, sure it's nice but with so many comments and a very important song to produce, it's totally understandable if you don't answer my comment. So don't worry :)
Thanks for sharing your story, and you are doing great! Don't worry! You can't possibly remember or track anything, so be gentle on yourself 🧡 I kinda wish I hadn't heard all of Ren's work already, as I do think it would have been fun to try a reaction channel 😃 He is such an incredible human on so many levels!
I really like that you covered this, it’s clear you are a kindred soul. There’s so much empty noise online, but I feel like you are very authentically yourself it’s a rare thing. ❤
All the hardwork you're putting in it seems like you've found your niche. Good luck with your music as well. Ren is such a humble beautiful soul. It's easily the most inspirational speech i've ever heard.
That touched me very deeply. Like most I can relate to being trapped in the dark. Keep fighting it and keep striving towards that light in the tunnel. Let it draw you like a moth, for after the pain comes freedom. Finding the light sets you free. Watching my Boy grow as an artist has been part of the light on my own journey to freedom. Thanks Dude for being just you. Lots of love there. And thanks to Ren for being who he is, a beautiful soul. Love from an old Geezer who still believes he is 25...
Ren: For the people living in the light, it's your responsability to put out untainted love. *Wynand: Hold my Rooibos tea* Thank you Wynand, for spreading the healing 🙏
Though it's a very old saying, now you understand where "A rising tide lifts all ships" comes from (in the world of Ren, anyway). We are the ships, are the tide. Carry on being both my friend. DO NOT think you'll be able to answer or even read all your comments. The idea is ridiculous, as you will soon find. Commenters understand and most time we post our stories and comments to be read by other 'Renagades'. Sometimes we post them just bc we have to express ourselves and it helps others. Long may your light shine. 💜
I’m enjoying your channel Wynand ❤. Ren has older music which I love so much. It’s Alright, Patience, Hold on, Ready for you and Heretic and many more. I hope you get to those songs. Keep going and much love 💕
Awe, don’t thank us, thank Ren. It’s all because of him. It’s his existence that created this community. He asked us to build a community based on love, comradely, tolerance, and empathy. He literally asked us to take care of one another. He explained his popularity had grown to a point that he couldn’t do it anymore. He sets a high bar and leads by example. He needed to know we had each others backs, as well as his. I remember when we voted on what to call ourselves in the “rabbit hole”. We’re Renegades baby! Excellent reaction. 😉❤️
I still tear up every time I watch it. Yep, this is why we love him Not to speak for everyone, but don't feel that you have to respond to every comment or even put a like on them. If you respond to just the most interesting comments, we'll know you're paying attention

Suggest rhem all! Lol
I strongly advise you to watch Ren's "Chapters 1 - 8". He tells his story in detail and each episode ends with one of his songs chosen by him. It will take a while admittedly but it's absolutely worth the time and effort. The details are often graphic and can be emotional but, well, you know what I mean!!
The real “story of ren” is broken up in 8 chapters. It is an incredible story about and incredible man. You can find these chapters in the “troubles playlist” on his RUclips channel ren makes music. It would be something you could react to or watch yourself but I’d certainly watch it with you as most of us would. There is nothing better for insight to the man or music and worth every minute. It’s really beautifully done and will bring new meaning to many of the songs you’ve heard and will give you an edge and understanding in future reacts. I promise you won’t be disappointed and it would be good to bring to light his story and show his resilience when he’s currently fighting again. Remind everyone he’s done it before.
RENEGADE ALGORITHM BUMP. I don't think it's possible to watch that video without getting at least a lil choked up. And as far as not replying to everyone: no need to apologize, and I hope your channel *does* get big enough for you to do it full time, and then I *further* hope it gets *so so* big that you can't keep up with the comments anyway. 😁 Good luck, and thank you for story time! I love knowing something about reactors and performers as people.
Thanks for sharing a bit of your background experience with RUclips. I deeply appreciate your desire to learn more about Ren as you create a song for him. I fell into a funk yesterday so didn't upload my message for Ren. Hoping to record it this afternoon. Loving your Ren reactions. You are a natural at this!
I simply adore that man. He's an incredibly special human being. It's a great time to be alive, to share this earth with Ren Gill. A man I'd never heard of 3 months ago. Now I can't imagine a world without him in it. He's so intelligent, so kind, so talented and so humble. Ok, enough fan girling over Ren. Lol I'm also really glad to have found your channel. I'm happy to go through this journey with you. Hopefully you'll share more of your music with us down the line. Don't worry one bit about responding to every comment. That's just not even expected by most of us. If you're reading all of them, then a like will be sufficient. Can't wait to hear your song for Ren.
The difference between Ren and many artists is that he lives this…he does what he can to inspire others to promote kindness and change the way we think… he is by no means perfect, he struggles with his humanness along with the rest of us which makes him more lovable… honestly I have never experienced anyone like him before… I actually see his effect on my world… thanks for your story and reactions to Ren. I am glad Walterooski was your rising tide who helped lift the ship for you… he is awesome.. all the best to you…🫶🏻
I’ve seen this so many times and I cry every single time! He is a beautiful soul! I love watching you watch stuff and watching you make music. I can tell it gives you joy which is very uplifting! Thank you for letting me follow your journey 🙏🏼✌🏻🫶🏻
Congrats on the 2K subs! You deserve it! Thanks for sharing so much of yourself as well as the time you are putting into all of this! Please don't stress yourself out about replying to every comment. As you grow it will become completely unmanageable and we are aware. We love the engagement, but we also understand and we want more content from you more than a response to every single comment. A lot of time we are just adding to the noise to help with the algorithms.
CONGRATS ON 2K!!! Woooo-hoooooo!! Damn you got there fast! You’re an absolute natural at reacting, I’m not surprised! And I very much enjoyed story time! 😊 Ren is the most solid human being we’ve been gifted with this side of Jesus. But we’re not a cult or anything. 🤣
Hope to see you at the Premiere of the new release Slaughterhouse on Thursday. It's on his page. He says the video is WILD! and is part of the reason he almost went blind during filming his new Tales about Vincent Van Gogh. Now you understand the love and compassion the RENegades have for this amazing Hooman Bean. As many have said unthinkingly, We must protect this man at all costs. We need his light in the world, it shines so brightly. I can't wait until you get to the Money Games/Money Ties/Crucify Your Culture set. They shed even more light on what he sees his mission in this life to be. Thank you too for being a caring and awesome Hooman. We are enjoying your journey.
I always love your reaction videos. You add yet another voice for Ren and you, sir, are at the top of my best-of list of reactors. I always suggest that people watch the 8 part series of videos that Ren did to provide the back story of his journey. They can be found on his Renmakesstuff channel called Ren Life Story Chapters. They are not to be missed if you are riding the Ren train.
Congrats on the Subs you deserve it! I can only imagine how overwhelming it must feel to want to respond to every comment. I don't think you need to apologize for not being able to do it. so keep on doing you and what you want we are here for the journey👍
Most has already been said. Ren is back in brighton. Had posted live on Instagram . He stopped doing the intensive antibiotic mix as it was proving harsher than the disease. He gave it a month long shot. Not everyone can do it. He is pursuing more holistic supportive therapies while he searches yet again for ways to go after the Bartonella. He was active all over the platforms yesterday. Good to see him looking good, but depressing in a way. Chronic illness...sigh
The first video I saw from you was the visualizer of your song ´Let me get over you´, that went straight to my playlist. The reason you popped up on my feed was, indeed, a Ren reaction, but I stayed because of you. I find your persona genuine, funny and kind, and I would love to listen more of your music. So give yourself credit 😊PS Can I ask you how old are you?
D&D nerd? ... I knew it was more than the reactions and music that made me sub.. LOL. Played my first game in 1977, Still playing. My son is DMing a resident evil based campaign for me at the moment! (I corrupted him young :)) Hope the song is going well!
@rewop300 That’s awesome, D&D has really been a safe space for me and my friends and it'll always be very close to my heart! That’s so cool that your son is into it as well!
I just found your channel. I'm definitely another one of the renegades and you have earned my sub. I'm going to finish watching this video and then check out all of your other Ren reactions and some of your music as well. Welcome to the community
I’m feel you, man. Getting emotional each time watching this video. He has such a huge and beautiful hearts. Thank for your reaction and your story. All the best to you, man❤
Thanks Wynand, and nice touch giving the time the reaction starts for those who are just into that. There’s nothing wrong with just being interested in the reactions, some people watch so many reactors, they couldn’t possibly get into all of them, just like you can’t possibly be expected to respond to every comment, as your channel grows. It is appreciated that you try to respond to some though. I enjoy your reactions, and it was good to hear your story ❤️
@Sdt526 Thanks for saying that! I definitely understand there are people here only for reactions, and that's totally fine by me, I also just like sharing stories of my life, haha! Story time with Wynand is gonna be a thing now. I'll do it separately from the reactions in the future
Don’t doubt yourself, my friend. The best reactors, in my opinion, have to have personality. Yours is shining through in your reactions. Just be you, and we’ll keep watching and your channel will keep growing. Also, it’s totally understandable to not get to everyone’s comments. I think most of us know that. It’s really just a bonus if you reply. I enjoy your reactions regardless of if you respond to a comment.
Just want to say, John Frusciante was my favourite artist by far (until Ren)…Now I have 2 favourite artists. You’re amazingly talented also. Keep pushing! Also if you don’t see this reply to your reply, don’t worry. It’s all love 🖤
Awesome video! I knew I loved your energy for a reason... I've been playing D&D off and on since 1989! I would love to check out your ttrpg vids. Anyway, I always recommend this video to reactors and I am so glad to see you doing it. Can't wait to see what you do next. Until then, may all your rolls be 20s!
It is so nice to make connections with lovely souls like your good self from all the corners of the world and really enjoying you coming out of your shell and trusting us and collabing with us. I had a thught that Know Hill - rapper who collabs with Ren and has performed with him could be reached out to to add some bars to our song for Ren because although you haven't seen enough of Ren's work probably to see a pattern in him making bars to add to covers which are not rap or hip-hop based (such as back to '74) it is a thing to insert some bars - just a thought. and thank you for your story - I enjoyed it
Very sweet to offer us some coco whilst it's the middle of summer in South Africa. Works for me, I'm from the Netherlands and winter just started here. I'm enjoying you vids, glad I've found your channel.
@wynandfouriemusic ohw snap, didn't even look at the date of the vid. I started binging your videos from the top down. A friend of mine from Joburg was complaining about the heat wave last week and my brain did some mental gymnastics and put your coco and my friends complaint togheter 🤷♀️. Can't wait for the drop of Love heals. I'm sure Ren will see it, no doubt.
@SloppyJolene Haha, the heat has definitely caught up! How cold does it get in the Netherlands? I can't wait for people to hear the song! Im also quite nervous to be honest
@wynandfouriemusic You have nothing to be nervous about, your music is really cool. Maybe you can convert it to excitement, even if it's just a lil bit. You deserve to enjoy it as much as I see us Renegades do. Winters have been gentle last few years, but -10/15 degrees Celsius is not a stranger here around January. Have a blessed weekend! ✨️
We know you can’t possibly answer all your commentators. Personally, I just want to say what I think about a reaction. I don’t expect any reply or likes. Just do you and don’t worry about expectations. Love Ren’s speech in this video. Makes me like him even more. I’ve listened to this a number of times and your reaction only adds to tilting my world to a more positive belief in people. Thanks ❤
Hi my friend, maybe I” e been a little harsh calling you out for my previous comment , but I see you took it the right way 🙂 You just experienced the depth of a man we love for what he is behind his art , many between us share similar experiences as d we feel a deep empathetic link and admiration for his determination, intelligence, vision and, obviously, his work. I’m sure he saved many lives and gave purpose and hope to others draw ing in the darkness. We can be passionate and overwhelming but you see why our bar is either very high but, same time, we passed truth the lowest somehow. Happy journey into the rabbit hole,, I hope it will bring you positivity and wisdom, just remember “that we are human beings” 🐷
Yay Walterooski! 🥰🦇🥰🦇🥰🦇🥰 I had never watched a reaction video until I stumbled upon Ren. But Hi Ren didn't just get me emotional, it felt as though I'd been dissected, examined, and stitched back up in the most hopeful, positive way possible I never experienced anything like that before and I needed to know if others were as affected as I was. Walterooski wasn't the first Hi Ren reactor I watched, but he was the first one I subscribed to! A true spirit truly doing good in the world 🌟🦇🌟 (Walter, if you're reading this, sorry I haven't watched in a while but KGLW just isn't my thing. They make you ridiculously happy tho and I love that! But I never miss your Ren vids 😁🦇😁)
I found you due to your Hi REN and I subbed. If you want to built your subs even more, try reacting to Home Free (followers are Home Fries) and Pentatonix (followers are called Pentaholics)
That's pretty cool to hear that Walterooski set you on this path,i have been subbed to that dude for a while now,cool guy.Seen a couple of ur vids b4 this but a sub has followed now as i enjoy ur take and always on the look out for a new Ren fix :DDD As a musician yourself i think you would enjoy 'Ren-Spontaneous Stream Jam' as it is just him and his guitar from a Twitch stream and absolutely incredible
Came here for the Ren reaction, but now all I want to know is what are your favorite board games?!? My wife and I are obsessed with boardgames! We have nearly 400 games played in 2024.
400! Wow that's amazing! I enjoy games with a sense of roleplay to them! I also like games where you can work together as a team, eldrich horror is quite a fun one!
Hopefully you'll start getting so many comment you'll get past feeling pressure to respond to everything, you can try but if it becomes a point of stress, you have to let it go. What I take from this video when I'm doubting myself is... You can be large, ferocious and magnificent... It's a beautiful reminder that life is finite and we should make the mot of it.
Just hit 2000subs today! woohoo thanks for watching guys!

“But my music is really connecting

So it gives me a purpose I can rest in”
This line from “Hi REN” says so much about him

I kove that line!
Ren is possibly the most beautiful person in the world.
Agree... but also add Dimash to this!!!

It would be something you could react to or watch yourself but I’d certainly watch it with you as most of us would. There is nothing better for insight to the man or music and worth every minute. It’s really beautifully done and will bring new meaning to many of the songs you’ve heard and will give you an edge and understanding in future reacts. I promise you won’t be disappointed and it would be good to bring to light his story and show his resilience when he’s currently fighting again. Remind everyone he’s done it before.
RENEGADE ALGORITHM BUMP. I don't think it's possible to watch that video without getting at least a lil choked up. And as far as not replying to everyone: no need to apologize, and I hope your channel *does* get big enough for you to do it full time, and then I *further* hope it gets *so so* big that you can't keep up with the comments anyway. 😁 Good luck, and thank you for story time! I love knowing something about reactors and performers as people.
I’m glad you watched this one! Ren is such an exceptional human being. I enjoy your reactions and your stories. Great channel! ☮️💙😎
I got emotional every single time watching this video.
Appreciate you ❤
Thank you for continuing to spread the 💜! Keep sharing your story and music, it matters.🖖
No worries on replying to all comments❤❤❤Your story was great.
Thanks for sharing a bit of your background experience with RUclips.
I deeply appreciate your desire to learn more about Ren as you create a song for him.
I fell into a funk yesterday so didn't upload my message for Ren. Hoping to record it this afternoon.
Loving your Ren reactions. You are a natural at this!
Thank you for always commenting and supporting what I do! I'm excited to receive your msg for Ren
Much Respect! Keep on keeping on! Peace to ya!!!!!!!
You be yourself and do you, you're amazing yourself 🤘🏼🔥⚡💜🎶🥳
I simply adore that man. He's an incredibly special human being. It's a great time to be alive, to share this earth with Ren Gill. A man I'd never heard of 3 months ago. Now I can't imagine a world without him in it. He's so intelligent, so kind, so talented and so humble. Ok, enough fan girling over Ren. Lol I'm also really glad to have found your channel. I'm happy to go through this journey with you. Hopefully you'll share more of your music with us down the line. Don't worry one bit about responding to every comment. That's just not even expected by most of us. If you're reading all of them, then a like will be sufficient. Can't wait to hear your song for Ren.
Thanks for sharing,Ren's song is cooking!
The difference between Ren and many artists is that he lives this…he does what he can to inspire others to promote kindness and change the way we think… he is by no means perfect, he struggles with his humanness along with the rest of us which makes him more lovable… honestly I have never experienced anyone like him before… I actually see his effect on my world… thanks for your story and reactions to Ren. I am glad Walterooski was your rising tide who helped lift the ship for you… he is awesome.. all the best to you…🫶🏻
Thanks, I owe a lot to Walter!
I’ve seen this so many times and I cry every single time! He is a beautiful soul! I love watching you watch stuff and watching you make music. I can tell it gives you joy which is very uplifting! Thank you for letting me follow your journey 🙏🏼✌🏻🫶🏻
Congrats on the 2K subs! You deserve it! Thanks for sharing so much of yourself as well as the time you are putting into all of this!
Please don't stress yourself out about replying to every comment. As you grow it will become completely unmanageable and we are aware. We love the engagement, but we also understand and we want more content from you more than a response to every single comment. A lot of time we are just adding to the noise to help with the algorithms.
CONGRATS ON 2K!!! Woooo-hoooooo!! Damn you got there fast! You’re an absolute natural at reacting, I’m not surprised! And I very much enjoyed story time! 😊 Ren is the most solid human being we’ve been gifted with this side of Jesus. But we’re not a cult or anything. 🤣
Riiight hahaha
Hope to see you at the Premiere of the new release Slaughterhouse on Thursday. It's on his page. He says the video is WILD! and is part of the reason he almost went blind during filming his new Tales about Vincent Van Gogh. Now you understand the love and compassion the RENegades have for this amazing Hooman Bean. As many have said unthinkingly, We must protect this man at all costs. We need his light in the world, it shines so brightly. I can't wait until you get to the Money Games/Money Ties/Crucify Your Culture set. They shed even more light on what he sees his mission in this life to be. Thank you too for being a caring and awesome Hooman. We are enjoying your journey.
This is why we love your bestest sick boi so much 🥹💜
Yes, you do you, it's your channel 😊
Haha😅 I quite like talking about myself, ill do more story times hahaha 😆
I always love your reaction videos. You add yet another voice for Ren and you, sir, are at the top of my best-of list of reactors.
I always suggest that people watch the 8 part series of videos that Ren did to provide the back story of his journey. They can be found on his Renmakesstuff channel called Ren Life Story Chapters. They are not to be missed if you are riding the Ren train.
@katelynmacri4926 Cool, I'll do a marathon one day and watch all of them in one go!
Congrats on the Subs you deserve it! I can only imagine how overwhelming it must feel to want to respond to every comment. I don't think you need to apologize for not being able to do it. so keep on doing you and what you want we are here for the journey👍
Thank you so much! I think I need to stop apologising 😅
Walter rooseki is a genuine nive guy. Glad he found tou 🙏✌️🤙
Most has already been said. Ren is back in brighton. Had posted live on Instagram . He stopped doing the intensive antibiotic mix as it was proving harsher than the disease. He gave it a month long shot. Not everyone can do it. He is pursuing more holistic supportive therapies while he searches yet again for ways to go after the Bartonella. He was active all over the platforms yesterday.
Good to see him looking good, but depressing in a way. Chronic illness...sigh
The first video I saw from you was the visualizer of your song ´Let me get over you´, that went straight to my playlist. The reason you popped up on my feed was, indeed, a Ren reaction, but I stayed because of you. I find your persona genuine, funny and kind, and I would love to listen more of your music. So give yourself credit 😊PS Can I ask you how old are you?
That's very kind, thanks! Im 33, come December 😊
D&D nerd? ... I knew it was more than the reactions and music that made me sub.. LOL. Played my first game in 1977, Still playing. My son is DMing a resident evil based campaign for me at the moment! (I corrupted him young :))
Hope the song is going well!
@rewop300 That’s awesome, D&D has really been a safe space for me and my friends and it'll always be very close to my heart! That’s so cool that your son is into it as well!
That’s would be so great to see you and REN collaborate one day
I wish this happens soon
Lets goooo!
@@wynandfouriemusic keeping the energy high 🤩

I just found your channel. I'm definitely another one of the renegades and you have earned my sub. I'm going to finish watching this video and then check out all of your other Ren reactions and some of your music as well. Welcome to the community
Welcome aboard!
Ren for emperor of the world ❤
I’m feel you, man. Getting emotional each time watching this video. He has such a huge and beautiful hearts. Thank for your reaction and your story. All the best to you, man❤
I appreciate you watching! Much love
I get it, I watch so many Ren reactions I sometimes forget the ones I watch
Dont stress so much about replying to everyone! Its fine 😊 Ren is truly someone special that we need in our lives.
Thanks Wynand, and nice touch giving the time the reaction starts for those who are just into that. There’s nothing wrong with just being interested in the reactions, some people watch so many reactors, they couldn’t possibly get into all of them, just like you can’t possibly be expected to respond to every comment, as your channel grows. It is appreciated that you try to respond to some though. I enjoy your reactions, and it was good to hear your story ❤️
@Sdt526 Thanks for saying that! I definitely understand there are people here only for reactions, and that's totally fine by me, I also just like sharing stories of my life, haha! Story time with Wynand is gonna be a thing now. I'll do it separately from the reactions in the future
Don’t doubt yourself, my friend. The best reactors, in my opinion, have to have personality. Yours is shining through in your reactions. Just be you, and we’ll keep watching and your channel will keep growing. Also, it’s totally understandable to not get to everyone’s comments. I think most of us know that. It’s really just a bonus if you reply. I enjoy your reactions regardless of if you respond to a comment.
I appreciate that thank you 😊
Haven’t seen that video in a while, was struck again by what a good, genuine person Ren is❤
Congratulations on 2000! (Soon) definitely need to check out Rens other pages and behind the scenes stuff (not necessarily on here).
@@carguy1975 That would be awesome, id love to see hus vibe behind the scenes
So... well, that is why renegades are renegades. he is awesome in his every fiber being (except those ones which currently bug him of course)
2k subs reached! Congrats!
🔥🖤🔥
Thanks 🔥
Just want to say, John Frusciante was my favourite artist by far (until Ren)…Now I have 2 favourite artists.
You’re amazingly talented also. Keep pushing!
Also if you don’t see this reply to your reply, don’t worry. It’s all love 🖤
@taaaa281 I saw😊
Awesome video! I knew I loved your energy for a reason... I've been playing D&D off and on since 1989! I would love to check out your ttrpg vids. Anyway, I always recommend this video to reactors and I am so glad to see you doing it. Can't wait to see what you do next. Until then, may all your rolls be 20s!
Thank you my lord! A critical success of a day to you too!
It is so nice to make connections with lovely souls like your good self from all the corners of the world and really enjoying you coming out of your shell and trusting us and collabing with us. I had a thught that Know Hill - rapper who collabs with Ren and has performed with him could be reached out to to add some bars to our song for Ren because although you haven't seen enough of Ren's work probably to see a pattern in him making bars to add to covers which are not rap or hip-hop based (such as back to '74) it is a thing to insert some bars - just a thought. and thank you for your story - I enjoyed it
Very sweet to offer us some coco whilst it's the middle of summer in South Africa. Works for me, I'm from the Netherlands and winter just started here. I'm enjoying you vids, glad I've found your channel.
@SloppyJolene Haha😅 It was actually still quite cold when I made this video, summer started late this year
@wynandfouriemusic ohw snap, didn't even look at the date of the vid. I started binging your videos from the top down. A friend of mine from Joburg was complaining about the heat wave last week and my brain did some mental gymnastics and put your coco and my friends complaint togheter 🤷♀️.
Can't wait for the drop of Love heals. I'm sure Ren will see it, no doubt.
@SloppyJolene Haha, the heat has definitely caught up! How cold does it get in the Netherlands? I can't wait for people to hear the song! Im also quite nervous to be honest
@wynandfouriemusic You have nothing to be nervous about, your music is really cool. Maybe you can convert it to excitement, even if it's just a lil bit. You deserve to enjoy it as much as I see us Renegades do.
Winters have been gentle last few years, but -10/15 degrees Celsius is not a stranger here around January.
Have a blessed weekend! ✨️
He is a legend #RENegades
We know you can’t possibly answer all your commentators. Personally, I just want to say what I think about a reaction. I don’t expect any reply or likes. Just do you and don’t worry about expectations.
Love Ren’s speech in this video. Makes me like him even more. I’ve listened to this a number of times and your reaction only adds to tilting my world to a more positive belief in people. Thanks ❤
Hi my friend, maybe I” e been a little harsh calling you out for my previous comment , but I see you took it the right way 🙂
You just experienced the depth of a man we love for what he is behind his art , many between us share similar experiences as d we feel a deep empathetic link and admiration for his determination, intelligence, vision and, obviously, his work.
I’m sure he saved many lives and gave purpose and hope to others draw ing in the darkness.
We can be passionate and overwhelming but you see why our bar is either very high but, same time, we passed truth the lowest somehow.
Happy journey into the rabbit hole,, I hope it will bring you positivity and wisdom, just remember “that we are human beings” 🐷
P.S.
I’m Italian and I forgot to switch the auto corrector, sorry for the grammatical mess 😂
No, I appreciate it when people call me out it makes me consider how to be better next time, which in turn makes my content better, so I thank you!
Yay Walterooski! 🥰🦇🥰🦇🥰🦇🥰
I had never watched a reaction video until I stumbled upon Ren. But Hi Ren didn't just get me emotional, it felt as though I'd been dissected, examined, and stitched back up in the most hopeful, positive way possible
I never experienced anything like that before and I needed to know if others were as affected as I was. Walterooski wasn't the first Hi Ren reactor I watched, but he was the first one I subscribed to! A true spirit truly doing good in the world 🌟🦇🌟
(Walter, if you're reading this, sorry I haven't watched in a while but KGLW just isn't my thing. They make you ridiculously happy tho and I love that! But I never miss your Ren vids 😁🦇😁)
To each their own, my friend! Ren reactions will always be a thing in my channel, just going as he releases new content from here :)
I see he's releasing a bew song on Thursday!
@@wynandfouriemusic can't wait! 😁🦇😁
Your channel will grow, as you're good at it x
A fellow Dnd’er! I knew I was drawn to you for a reason! I bet you are an amazing player.
great video
For more details watch the Chapters 1-8
@@AnitaTsenova I think Im gonna binge those!
I found you due to your Hi REN and I subbed. If you want to built your subs even more, try reacting to Home Free (followers are Home Fries) and Pentatonix (followers are called Pentaholics)
That's pretty cool to hear that Walterooski set you on this path,i have been subbed to that dude for a while now,cool guy.Seen a couple of ur vids b4 this but a sub has followed now as i enjoy ur take and always on the look out for a new Ren fix :DDD As a musician yourself i think you would enjoy 'Ren-Spontaneous Stream Jam' as it is just him and his guitar from a Twitch stream and absolutely incredible
Came here for the Ren reaction, but now all I want to know is what are your favorite board games?!? My wife and I are obsessed with boardgames! We have nearly 400 games played in 2024.
400! Wow that's amazing! I enjoy games with a sense of roleplay to them! I also like games where you can work together as a team, eldrich horror is quite a fun one!
This is the second video of you I've watched today. Already sub'd ya today on the way to 5k
For our algorithmic overlords. For iou and for Ren.
Hopefully you'll start getting so many comment you'll get past feeling pressure to respond to everything, you can try but if it becomes a point of stress, you have to let it go. What I take from this video when I'm doubting myself is... You can be large, ferocious and magnificent... It's a beautiful reminder that life is finite and we should make the mot of it.
Ren❤❤❤
Don’t feel the necessity to respond to everyone 😂
💜
❤
I just found you. I love your content!!
