Music video


The music video was released on October 24, 2011 and parodied Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew, with Ronnie Radke checking himself into the fictionalized rehab while performing the song.[3] Some of the figures parodied in the video included socialite and heiress Paris Hilton, drummer Tommy Lee, and fictional supernatural serial killer Jason Voorhees. Additionally, internet personality Jeffree Star appeared as an extra, sporting pink hair and large hoop earrings, visible at the 2:25 mark of the video.[4]

About "I'm Not a Vampire", Loudwire said "On the track, frontman Ronnie Radke belts out an appealing chorus that will burrow in your head and linger there as he sings, 'I'm insane / Well, I can feel it in my bones / Coursing through my veins / When did I become so cold? / For goodness sake / Where is my self-control? / If home is where my heart is / Then my heart has lost all hope.' The song is complete with heavy guitar riffs and a serious guitar solo, plus soaring synthesizers along with crushingly upbeat drum patterns. Radke's hasty deliverance of witty lyrics makes this song a treat, as well [...] One of the best and humorous parts of the song is when Radke cleverly sings 'Hi, my name is Ronnie / I'm an addict / Daddy should’ve never raised me on Black Sabbath.'"


Revamped version


In February 2021 a new, revamped version accompanied by a cinematic music video Directed by Jensen Noen featuring Ronnie Radke as a vampire and Saraya Bevis (WWE's Paige) was released featuring a full orchestra, choir and piano, at the end of the music video features a tribute to guitarist Derek Jones.[7] The new arrangement was composed by Irish composer Sean Rooney (The Drug in Me Is Reimagined). A full live chorus and various instruments were recorded in studio to further enhance the epic feel of the song. The track was produced by Tyler Smyth.[8]
