Fun fact, the drummer (Glen Chambers) was a bass player in a rival band, at the time Ren was the drummer for the big push (he says he wasn't a very good drummer,not sure I beleve him) they persuaded Glen to play for the big push instead, obviously everyone in the big push plays bass, but Glen is the best drummer.

The great producer is Ren. Ren was obviously wonder wonderful. Romaine was the guitarist who did the solo. I appreciate you noticing the bassist and drummer. If you notice Ren was direct the band by slowing down the tempo and the drummer was lazer focused on Ren at that point. Band membern Ren - Lead, Lead singer and guitarist Romaine Axisa - guitarist and singer Gorran Kendall - Bassist,guitarist , and singer Glenn Chambers - Drummer Bongo Bong next please. Also An Englishman in New York

Great reaction. Spot on observation regarding Gorran (the bass player). He is a top tier performer including his vocals, guitar and bass playing. He traveled throughout Europe making a living busking when he was younger. The whole band is awesome. Ren recently said Glen (the drummer) is living the good life in Thailand and is a computer coder (or something like that). Maybe one day they will all reunite. Check out their Stone's psychedelic yet Clash influenced version of Paint it Black with Ren on Bass. It's rarely reacted to but it's an energy filled banger!

Romain Axias - he sings too and has some music out on his KZread channel!

All you say is valid...the problem in the U.S. ( not just Nashville) is SOME ONE will want to capitalize on those who wish to share their talents. And "buskers" in our country are stigmatized as "starving artists" or "beggars that can't make it in the industry" it's a damned shame.

That guitar player kills on a ukulele on their Bongo Bong cover. Such a great vibe! He was Ren's roomie before he went to Canada.

Guitar player is Romain Axisa, a frenchman who moved to Brighton in 2016 where he met (and lived with till recently) Ren, busked together and then formed The Big Push with Gorran Kendal (the bass player). He has great solo stuff and also has a track with Ren called: Ren Ft. Romain Axisa - French Song

Yup, that chick walked NOT just in front of the camera, but kind of walked across the 'stage' cutting between the band members during a performance. She probably knows one of them (quite possibly sleeping with one of them) and she did that walk through a couple times as a form of clout chasing... she was showing off to her friends that she's "with" the band.

Great reaction! I’m a 63 yo lady who found REN about 4 months ago. I honestly haven’t seen talent like these guys in decades. It’s so refreshing to see real musicians who have talent and originality. Just subbed, looking forward to more REN and the Big Push.

Another great reaction. In Wade in the Water, Ren is playing bass and Goran rhythm where he gets to sing solo towards the end; he was very, very good. It was fun to watch Gorran help Ren fix his guitar strap while he was singing Wade in the Water. Another wonderful busking track and at a different location. Everything this band does is fantastic. Not a single miss for me yet from Ren or The Big Push.

MATE we have Busking in every Town in Britain, and especially in Cities. You hear good music all over the UK and Ireland.

This will always be my favourite TBP performance. It has such good energy. I love all the rest too though! Have you seen the Push doing Englishman in New York? Another one that has something a little extra and treads the live between original and originality well. Lots of people haven't known the track, but I know you'll be much more familiar with it!

Here in Albuquerque our "busking district" is a ten-foot by ten-foot patch of dirt among the rattlesnakes and tumbleweeds on the city outskirts. Musicians playing there have to be adept at playing their instruments while fighting off coyotes, which can be very entertaining. 🤠 Great reaction, btw! I've seen this video countless times and am always amazed by the band's talent and love for all kinds of music. One of the best rabbit holes I've ever fallen into.

So i did some digging because i new the "with a little bit of luck, we could make it through the night " weren't lyrics i knew from any of the 3 songs in the title. I found this. Bugzy Malone kzread.info/dash/bejne/p4aC0a6IeMy7n5M.html Which also used a sample from this DJ Luck & MC Neat kzread.info/dash/bejne/eGmEusaMk9K1oso.html So its hard to tell exactly which song they got it from, but both are actually pretty good. Anyways I figured id post them just in case anyone was curious

Romain's live original composition called "Love Without Feelings(Live)" is a beautiful song where he plays piano and is accompanied by violin, cello and ladies church choir.

First time ever hearing this band. I liked the cover. I mean no one beats Bob Marley, but i was wibing this

You say I could be wrong, and I usually am, but I think you're fibbing. I think you're right a great deal, and you're clearly well versed in the music business from top to bottom. I've subscribed to your channel because you are someone well worth anyone's attention.

I love your reactions. you tell it like it is. I am so glad you called out the chick who was deliberately trying to get on camera - she drives me mad and no one else has mentioned her. hey ho, no big deal at the end of the day. Gorran the bassist started off playing punk, real basic lines, but has developed a real reggae/funk feel. Romain Axisa is the guitarist - incredible talent and a real feel for tone. Please check out his solo stuff - 75 beats Per Minute, Blue, Guitar Jam - Rainwater, Goodbye Good Days

I just love this performance by The Big Push. I don´t know exactly what it is about it, but for some reason it makes literally everyone smile, including me. I don´t watch a lot of reaction videos tbh, but I just can´t stop watching reactions to this video. I must have watched 20-30 reactions to it in 2-3 day, and I´m for sure watching more. In every single one the person reacting just can´t stop themselves from cracking a BIG genuine smile, and from the second they start to the end of the performance it stays. Maybe I just don´t watch enough reaction videos, but I have never seen anything quite like it. It´s basically impossible to watch and listen to the performance without smiling, it´s just so freaking good. Great reaction and analysis by you too Eric! You just earned yourself a new subscriber.

The guitar player is Romain Axisa, he does his own stuff on KZread like Ren. He was Ren's long time roommate in Brighton.

It's quite frustrating that alot of people in America don't get to enjoy busking. In the UK it's a great way for people who wouldn't get noticed in another way, especially people who are just starting it's a great way to get noticed. There isn't really any order to it we just have areas in the cities where you find street performers who set up and sing as a way to get noticed. Most successful artists in the UK have done busking at one point or other, it's a great network of people.

Yeeesss Bob Marley and Scarface on every woke persons wall 😂❣️ Fire Reaction Sir🔥🔥🔥

Good reaction.. new sub🎉

Yep.. "Englishman in New York - live" is a must watch from The Big Push. Even the dog is impressed and tries to settle in for the night..

Fantastic review brother, very interesting thoughts 👍 Try The big push covering Bongo Bong. The bass is unbelievable in that and btw his name is Goran. Guitarist is Romain, and of course Ren

Please do " Penitence " by Ren it is so very beautiful. Loved your rezction to this one!

The drummer is a converted bass player. Romaine the guitarist is French and did not pick up an electric guitar until he was around 20. Previous to that he had always played a classical acoustic.

It's rarely just in one area. All British towns and cities have busking spots but there's usually a lot of them, all over, rather than just one area. There's plenty of busking outside these spots too but the ploice rarely bother to move them on, unless they're causing a real nuisnce. It's not just at night. It takes place at all-times. :)

Check out their last concert before Ren had to leave for Canada for medical treatments....."The Big Push" live at The Brighton Dome, Sept 9 2022 !

This is my fave of their performances followed by Wade in the water/ Nina Simone/ trouble so hard Swan song Englishman in New York

I love how you was losing your shit over that girl kept walking in front of the camera lol. Great reaction

just fan of U and those guys

That dj voice of yours is like smooth smoky leather dipped in bourbon... 😅 My beard got thicker just listening to it 😂

Listen to their own song All My Heroes, studio version is best 😁

Great reaction! One thought I had about someone finding them and putting them in a studio with a producer: is that really necessary these days? Both Ren and The Big Push seem to be on the rise so would the value added by a 'third party' outweigh the potential loss of control? When someone is staking their money on someone else they will want that ROI, and with that could come a degree of meddling with the product. I wish them all the best, and obviously with greater funds comes greater opportunities. I just hope they find the right person, who see them for who they are and trust in their creativity. I hope that makes sense... I'm not principally against the music industry, but to use your metaphor: if you find a diamond in the rough and proceed to cut it like every other diamond, there's no telling them apart anymore.

Here's a thing a lot of folks either discount or never consider: We hear about horrible experiences with record labels/management, but fail to understand the infinitesimal percentage of contracts that face issues. 99.99% of signed artists never have any issue with their contracts. Some even use it to their advantage, ie. using the contacts and connections to establish future independence. I've worked with more people than not that would just sit back and let Ren do his thing, only getting involved to alleviate any undo chores an independent artist would have to handle themselves (font style of poster, lease agreements for transportation, studio rental fees, etc), the finer details. But if this guy could get into a top tier studio, with a good producer and engineer, the final product will be exceptional. And something else that folks overlook: The echo chamber. There needs to be someone in the room with an eye to the practical and pragmatic. Because the bigger he gets, the more demands fans will place on him. He needs a buffer to be free to be creative. I never worried about my contracts, insurance, etc. because my late wife was my attorney and manager and handled all that stuff so I could just go out and dance like the monkey I am for the public. My want of him to get management has nothing to do with "The Machine", but more for his assistance as he grows, and if someone can make a few bucks, so be it. He just needs to shop the representation and find the one he can just sit and talk about life with, not about work. Plus if you let someone you're not emotionally attached to, you decrease the potential for personal drama. Never let a friend handle your money or your career. Advice? Sure, but there are too many stories to the contrary of benefit. Sorry I droned on, but thanks for the comment! Cheers, Eric

Hahahaha first off awesome reaction bro. But once you shook your head and said, "there's always that one chick" then she walked by again a second later and your head shake didn't need any words. I play bass in a band and the music is wayyy different than this. It's thrash, hardcore and metal but no matter what the genre there's always "that one chick" haha. The drunk that grabs the mic all the time yelling incoherently like a banshee, the drunk that yells out what song they want us to play when the songs they're yelling aren't even songs our band plays, the drunk chick that won't STFU do we tell her boyfriend to shut her up or he's going to get smacked around for her stupidity lol. Ahhh life of a musician lol Gorran is a great bass player. He was adding octaves here and there and on the Ska beat they played he was doing a walking bass line using octaves as he was moving up the fret board. He's also a good guitar player and singer. They have another cover from this same Busking show playing The Rolling Stones "Paint It Black" and he plays guitar and sing while Ren goes nuts on bass. The Big Push do have an album out. It's called "Can Do Will Do" and again from this same Busking session they have a video from the album called "Watch Out" and it's soooo good! And you're 1000000% correct about the Bob Marley and Scarface poster on everyone's wall in college. I graduated high school in 1994 and they were everywhere. Process on that is all the people that had those posters on the walls with smoking weed and sniffing blow haha

🔥🤟🏼.

Love the Caribbean vibes, yet different than the original Reggae.

I really really really hope the band reforms when he is back in the UK for good. It's all fine and cool if they want to release individually too, but they are so tight together. Busking is pretty much like this across the UK. Here in Glasgow you'll see people all sorts of places, mostly in the city centre throughout the shopping and nightclub districts, but there's other areas around town with clusters of shops and restaurants, and buskers will be there. Or in the parks. Oh, and that person, and it usually is a chick, that does that. I hate using the term 'chick' but if you are the sort to do that, then ''chick'' is what you are. Romaine Axisa, the bass player in this video (the three guitarists swap duties around for different songs) is pretty amazing also. He's been releasing tunes pretty regularly this year just as Ren has been. He is French, and his accent is strong enough that you can hear it in his singing, but it's not a problem. Goran, the other guitarist ain't bad on harmonic and he's cool, but doesn't release actively as the other two. The drummer is a guitarist that knew how to play drums, so there he is, because they didn't know another drummer at the time they were setting up, and didn't need a 4th guitarist.

The female that was going past the camera looks to me as a friend of the band that was in charge of the sales of the album

Wait!?!? We need that here in knoxville!! Maybe I should move. That's something I miss moving from Seattle is the music scene... Don't miss the politics but there doesn't seem to be that in the Knoxville Chattanooga area. Or maybe I just haven't found it yet

As I heard, that is a myth. Ren said himself in an interview that sometimes he gets surprised by the rumours he is reading about himself on the internet. He said that he wasn´t up to fullfill the contract and he and Sony parted ways very friendly.

You say someone needs to lock them down, well Ren was locked down by Sony and dropped. When Ren got sick and was basically bed ridden for 23 hours a day Sony decided they didn't want to deal with his illness and dropped him. Not sure how Ren feels about getting resigned by someone now.

It's because the record labels now own all of Nashville. Turning all these artists into things they're not, making them speak on things they don't really believe in and putting their artists in boxes while 10 other people write their music and choose everything about the video, style, etc. It's gross. I'm so glad Ren saw how evil and greedy the labels are and is doing it all Independently. Same goes for so many others- Chinchilla, Upchurch, ACal, Brodnax, Tom Macdonald, Dax, Snow Tha Product, Chris Webby and so many more. Pretty much all the music I listen to now is Metal or Hardcore music who's labels allow them creative freedom or Independent GOATS 🔥🔥🔥
