Like if you want to be a bass pirate in the ghostly VoicePlay crew 👻 Such an amazing and highly innovative/creative arrangement of this pirate anthem -- VoicePlay does it again 👏
ahem not to bash on you for saying something incorrect or diminish Geoff's performance ability with the 2 octave slide... but you should know that actualy Geoff has said he considers himself not a bass but a baritone extended with a bass range so when you say jumping up is hard for a bass or being confortable low...might wanna rethink it .
Oh course there’s going to be a lot of “high cs!” They’re pirates!
@@galadballcrusher8182 Just because Geoff has mad skills to match his mad range does not make it any less impressive. I sing bass, and that F4 is just barely in my falsetto range. Geoff's low-end range makes him a Bass, I'd even call him a Basso Profundo. I mean have you heard how smooth his low notes are? If anything, how easy Geoff makes it look makes his absolute mastery of his voice even more evident.
@@DravenGal lol
You should really react to hoist the colors by MALINDA. Lauren Paley is in it along with Bobby Bass and Colm McGuinness and let me just say they were phenomenal at it. I really think you'll enjoy the overall immersion you get when listening to it. I know I did.
Peter: "Eli is just hammering those High C's"
Me: "Eli is just hammering those high seas"
🤣 Hilarious!
Now this is comedy 😂
Same as I was thinking.
😆
Dad joke detected 😂😂😂
Allow me to reiterate: pause, rewind, slice and dice as much as you wish. I don't think I'm alone in saying that we want your analysis of every aspect of the piece we're hearing. You included the link to the original video. I can go hear it without interruption. But on your reviews, I love to hear everything you have to say about every aspect of the piece in question. I always learn something through your detailed analysis. It is interesting, entertaining, and valuable.
Yes! Very much so!
Aye, aye, me hearties aaaaar🏴☠️
Agreed
I agree 100%
yup this is why I watch reactions
eviews
PSA: I realized at today o' clock that I totally botched Eli's name throughout -- I do know the correct pronunciation, but somehow messed it up for this one. Scumbag brain -- anyway, my apologies!
No body is perfect hun. You're good
Forgiven. Moving on ❤
It happens. You recorded and edited in a short amount of time to have it out for us. You correcting it when you noticed is all you can do. To error is human...
Same here - I have a friend that goes by Eli (E-Lie) and botched it as well. Great stuff as always, though.
Expert reaction....thank you Peter!
16:50 is especially impressive because he jumps to the F1 sub from a G#1 chest. In my experience going from the bottom of you chest range to a sub is super super hard.
Oh for sure -- good observation my guy 👏
Yeah but The F1 may edited to that part
If I wanted to just hear the song uncut, I would play the song directly. I am here to hear you analysis and breakdown. Don’t apologize for doing the breakdown. It’s great. Thank you.
Man Eli eats those high C's like its nothing. I really enjoy him being high tenor in the group. We can appreciate his voice even more!
I'll be honest. I really don't know much about music. I do know what I like tho. The way that you pull apart and dissect the music gives me an entirely new and powerful appreciation for the songs.
On another note tho, their new has J back and it is fantastic!
VoicePlay arrangements (mostly Layne & Geoff) are exceptional, they pay so much attention to all details! And I love that you catch them! 🔥💗
Another thing I noticed is when one of them starts a sentence as lead, and another person finishes it, the transitions are terrific (like Cesar and Eli at the beginning, or Eli and Jose later on). Of course Geoff and Layne kill it!! they work together to perfection!! 🤯💖.
I love VoicePlay so much!! 💖, and I really enjoy your analysis, thanks, Peter!
Eli is KILLING it! I can't move my attention away from his voice for more than a few seconds at a time. It keeps drawing me in.
This whole arrangement is just crazy and mesmerising in a completely new way to me.
Great reaction, Peter! Thank you! 🥰🙏
Oh they also have a new one out for Halloween, Friends On The Other Side, which is fantastic.. It has the new man, Cesar de la Rosa, and a welcome return visit of J.None. Oh and just so you know, Eli is said as elly, short for Eliezer. For me this is a visceral experience. It really hits hard .Every time. Great reaction as always.
5:34 One thing I love about that "pirate grunt" is that it happens multiple times as part of the backing, so it continues to be incorporated into the song, just not separated like the first time.
Geoff: *F1*
Peter: wow that takes skill
Also Peter at 20:10: *hits it with no trouble*
Trueee
It is chest-fry though, fry-dominated it sounds, so that does make it a tad easier. Still insane, only a bass could do that.
Common its chest fry
I’ve listened to this hundreds of times, and don’t get tired of it. It’s really one of their best.
I've listened to this song over and over again. Truly is excellent.
Love the show Black Sails. Geoff arranged this and he and Eli (Ellie) did the lighting. Love this as much as My Mother Told Me that they also did with Jose. Great-grandma fan girl of VoicePlay here. lol
It's such an incredible show -- anyone that's remotely interested in pirates/piracy should watch!
@@PeterBarber Absolutely.
@@PeterBarber Oh and thanks to you I have been rewatching it. Found the series on HULU.
Thank you for catching the harmonics on the "sepulchral tones" line! It's my favorite part and you are the only reactor I've seen so far to pause and dig into it.
Mine too! I find myself watching this over and over and often hit rewind to hear it again. I find myself holding my breath at "watery grave" in anticipation.
@@janetdw Idk if you've seen this person, but his "Hoist" reaction is amazing! It's technically his first VP reaction though it took longer to get uploaded than his second VP react video. Check it out, you won't be disappointed! th-cam.com/video/oTAoQ8JRNik/w-d-xo.html
"Nothing crazy low with Geoff, I think he's just down to an F2..."
You know we're talking about Geoff when an F2 is preceded by a "just" and "nothing too crazy".
Your reviews are really detailed and I've always found myself finding out more things about both music theory and the pieces you're reviewing. So pause away and give us your best educated opinion
Thanks for differentiating between artistic choice and critique. So many reactors think “They didn’t do it the way I wanted them to” is a valid criticism, I find that attitude entitled in the worst way. Keep up the excellent work.
My favorite thing about Cesar is how fully he COMMITS to the bit. They are all great pantomime actors, and in a very short time with them on screen, Cesar has thrown himself into each part fully. Even when the acting choice calls for something understated that doesn't pull attention to him (like the Metallica cover). Not that this one is particularly understated, but it's nothing like the bubbly joy we see from him in more pop-y tracks they do.
Every time I listen to this cover... goosebumps!
I love that this group not only utilises but highlights Geoff's range
I was waiting for your reaction to Geoffs slide-up, and when you put the pitvipers on expecting the low note at the end I was like ‘uh uh dude, you’re in for a surprise!’ Back up and repeat as much as you like 😉
This video should really be nominated for a Grammy Award! They are great in this! 🤗
So glad to see you react to and analyze this! I think it's my favorite VP arrangement: the continual build, as you mention, and just a lovely showcase of their vocal talents and harmonies.
And THANK YOU for noting Eli's sustained high C at the end!! Most others note Geoff's sustained low note, but Eli holds that high note just as long as Geoff does (4 measure, 12 beats, I think)
“Eli hammering those high c’s” - not sure if it was intentional, but the play on words here was great, considering the theme. 😄 Great reaction, as always!
Love how they faked us all out at the end where you went for the glasses expecting it to be the Geoff drop and instead it's an Eli high.
Well, my timbers have been sufficently shivered...again. Please, take as much time as you want for your anaylsis. It's a pleasure to listen to you share your expertise. The talk of "high C's" did make me giggle a bit, though. There be puns hiding in there...
Would you say Eli is hammering those high seas? 😏
The false pit viper at the end has me dying 🤣 💀
I know hw was like 'wait...what'
Their interpretation and production of the covers they do is always stellar. Ear and eye candy the entire time. Eli needs to front a metal band. Great reaction! 🔥🥰
Came for the viper, stayed for that badass mask!
Great job Peter! Look forward to more of your content!
I watch your vids specifically for the bass insight, but love the music theory stuff you add and knowledge in how it integrates with other roles! If I want to listen to a song just for funsies I'll go straight to that creator's page. Keep doing what you're doing- I find great value in it!!
On the initial "where we will we'll roam" the camera focuses on Cesar, but I swear Geoff is seconded prominent voice next to Eli. It's been making me feel like I'm crazy since this came out. It sounds so much more like Geoff than Cesar.
Feel this was a great masterpiece, the way with timing, layers, and sheer creativity. Just wow. Thanks for the video and break down.
This whole video is first class, from the arrangement and lighting to the singing of course. Glad you reacted to it.
Geoff has a 5 octave range and he classes himself as a baritone with the ability to sing bass notes but says he is most comfortable singing baritone because that’s what he started out singing in.
Another fantastic analysis.
Not only do I enjoy watching what impresses you musically, but I always come away from a video feeling like I've learned something that will help me appreciate more songs
Oohh this bass voice...like my dads... This left me in tears because I miss him so much. Thanx for this❤❤
I was going through YT looking for people reacting to this song and came upon your video. Thank you for the analysis - so often it's just pure reaction, but I love the insight into the music and intricacies of the song. I have no training in singing so all of that is new to me but makes me appreciate the song all the more. New subscriber! Have a good one!
Oh forgot! Bravo on your recent performance. So glad things are opening up for you in opera. Loved this reaction too!
Feel free to take all the time you want or need when you break these down! That’s why we couldn’t wait to see you react to this!
19:24 - Yeah, Geoff is the only "bass-bari-tenor" that I know of. Just wow. He's got an octave range on me- at both ends!
Was fun to see that you got to work with some of my favorite opera people (Josh and Kyle) at Salt Marsh. I thought I recognized you in Josh's FB pictures. Keep up the good work and fun reactions/analyses.
Yes, I've been waiting for this one.
I've watched this so many times, and the fact that there are "high C's" (high seas) at the top in a pirate song NEVER occured to me...the puns man, the puns...
I love this one. can listen to it many times....It is amazing how similar Cesar and Eli's tone it.
I know this is old, but I haven't seen anyone do this detailed of an analysis in such a short time. I can't even focus on that much at once. Well done!
I love the discordance at 11:20; further instills that eerie vibe.
My favorite Voiceplay song. Glad you reviewed, I always enjoy your analysis. FYI- Like to hear your bass notes as well....
I wish Jose had been showcased a bit more, since he is "featured," but this is absolutely stunning (even the 51st time). Very much looking forward to your "Halo" analysis!
Good work, brother! No worries - we're here for the analysis/reaction. I get carried away (always) in my evaluations so keep them coming! Peer review is the best review. 👍
I chuckled when he said "took the liberty" bc my the barber I go to is literally called liberty barber
I love how you break everything down--I actually learn a lot from it for my own singing. One note: Eli is pronounced as "Ellie". Not a big deal but I know you always want to be accurate. ;)
One of my favorite songs indeed.
The best version for me was with Bobby Bass , Malinda , Lauren Paley.
It was the first one I heard and fell in love with it.
The bass line on Geoff that F2 to F4 then F2 to C2 to F1 sub.That F1 sub is so satifying.I think every Voiceplay's song there is a moment in the song that is so satisfying it like I want to rewind to hear that again everytime when I listen to the Voiceplay's song.
That 2 octave slide. Jumped out at me so much on first listening.
I've said this before and I'll say it again. There is no one I would rather go to to watch reactions from. Peter is just able to level with the audience in enjoying the music, while still being able to be critical, while still being nice to the singers and avoiding hate from the fanbase. He's a beautiful man (with quite a low, beautiful voice himself). Thank you Peter Barber for teaching me music theory and also being good at reacting to things.
Thank you so much 🙏🏼😌
Best reaction, so far
I loved your reaction. The only thing I know about music is how to turn the power button on. However, I really enjoy it when you break things down and point out certain things. I love this Voiceplay cover. Eli is really amazing in it and of course, Geoff.
I love this song and I'm so glad you made a reaction video to it! It's awesome listening to your breakdown version. You should really think about reacting to Voiceplay's 'My Mother Told Me'. Geoff does some pretty wicked subharmonics!! Possibly pit-viper worthy lol
Great reaction and analysis Peter! I'm glad you mentioned Geoff's "Monster Mash" because I have a question about singing that. So I beg you, do a reaction/ analysis on that video and song. Also, thank you for pointing out how high Eli sang for this. I commonly check what the lowest note is in the song, but not highest. So, many thanks.
Always love the analyses. Something I don't recall seeing is watching the video in full and then going back and step by step analyze it. I don't mind the pausing but i do hear a lot people doing this kind of content talk about it here and there. Wonder if that would be a happy medium. But honestly I prefer seeing people being genuinely themselves. There's enough cookie cutter content out there as is. 😎
I enjoy your reactions as they have the technical aspects to them .I'm a mezzo soprano although only just getting back into singing with a local musical theatre group. (Trained choir singer yonks ago when I was definitely a soprano, but older now lol) I learn so much listening to your reviews that also can help with my singing. I think your reviews should be used teaching music to older kids, secondary here in UK so 12yr to 16yr (sometimes 18 if they have a 6th form attached)
Geoff’s sliding into notes here also mimics the rocking of the ship on open sea.
I love your channel and I love Voiceplay! One thing I learned is that Eli pronounces his name like “Ellie”. Please keep up the great work and I think you would be surprised by the choreography in Geoff’s Monster Mash. In any event I’ll keep watching!
From how it comes across in your videos I always think you've watched the videos before going back for a second time and reacting/analyzing to it. I would love to see a video of something that you haven't seen before and doing things all in one go kinda thing. Watching it for the first time, reacting to things as they come with no knowledge of what is to come.
I will try to do some of those -- it's very hard for me to not watch the new premieres because I'm such a fan of all these amazing groups
The dirge-like tempo they use in this video, works perfectly.
Excellent breakdown as always! I really think you should check out the Colm McGuiness version though. From a bass singer perspective it can't get much better and the arrangement is amazing!
I second this recommendation. Colm is phenomenal, and his range is impressive. I think that's my favorite part about his music; he does every portion himself, and stacks/harmonizes
Great reaction as always.....and Eli is pronounced "Elly" in our Eli's case. LOL This was such an incredible arrangement. Geoff outdid himself on this one. It has so much complexity. These guys are so damn talented, and Eli (Elly) is an absolute rock star in this one.
Love Geoff's awesome ending!!!
Another amazing reaction! And after your endorsement, I'll have to seek out Black Sails.
Good analysis. 👍🖖 Many people miss the slide up from Geoff.
Geoff is actually a tenor. Tim Foust with Home Free helped him learn how to safely get to those low bass notes!
Geoff describes himself as a baritone with a bass range, though Peter says he believes Geoff is a full bass. Tim is awesome and helped Geoff learn growl notes, but Geoff was singing bass long before that!
Geoff is full bass you trash talker
I totally missed the debut again, for some reason I am not getting the actual notification saying ur videos have posted. Brain too fried to know to look lol.
All that aside, another GREAT analysis, as someone who comes from a musical background, there is still so much I don't know so I greatly appreciate your dissections of all these songs. I look forward to these and agree with others when i say, I've seen all these originals on their own, I don't watch your reactions to watch the video, I watch to get that dissection from u and I honestly feel you are the best reaction guy out there. Many others are literally just a reaction and they just sit jaw dropped so I guess yours is more of a reaction analysis video, but semantics aside, it's wonderful and I love yours. Wouldn't change a thing, thank you as always for taking time out of your busy schedule to do these for us.
And as always, another amazing voice play song. I absolutely loved this rendition.
Thanks so much! I’m glad you appreciate my analysis (and taking a lot of time for them). I think if you click the little bell 🔔 next to the subscribe button, you should get notified!
@@PeterBarberYou are very welcome. And it's definitely on to notify for ALL but for some reason it hasn't these last couple weeks. I may need to clear some cache and force stop the app and reload. Hopefully that helps. 😁😁
So glad you finally reacted to this one :) should check out "monster mash" by Geoff and Voiceplay's latest "friends on the other side" :D
I thought this was one of their best covers. Well, until I heard The Dragonborn Comes. 😁😁
I just enjoy listening to Voiceplay. And love their videos.
Eli showed his Spunk in this. I loved it. The whole thing, but Eli, specifically. Good Post, thanks for sharing it with us.
Lately, when I end up in a bassy stretch of The Algorithm, my mind wanders to Colm McGuinness. Be it his Hoist the Colours, or My Mother Told Me in the Old Norse. Mesmerizing. Would be awesome to experience your take on something of his.
Makes sense considering shanties were meant to be something to keep the beat while working on a ship.
Can’t wait too see your reaction to their Halo theme cover when you get to it
I have already gotten around to it and you'll be seeing it very soon 😁
peter expects geoff to go lower 16:12
Geoff: Slides up 2 octaves*
That mystery harmony was actually a common device, changing the I minor into a I7 as the V of the IV that followed, i.e. F- F7 Bb-
I know I’m late to this one, but the sliding bass down also kind of reminds me of the traditional rowing songs (think Skye Boat Song, for example).
This is my favorite song of VoicePlay and your reaction to it did it wonderful justice! I have learned so much by watching music video reactions - one thing is that while my ear naturally tends to want to follow the lead, I need to try to separate the parts out in my head to see where everyone else is going. Prime example is where Geoff did the two octave jump (perfectly). Not sure if I really caught or appreciated that the other 1,000 times I must have listened to this song! I have a question for you, however. You mentioned early in the reaction that you weren't generally a fan of the vocal "slides". Might I ask why? Matt Sallee, who is the new bass for PTX, is ( in my opinion) a MASTER at bass slides! He does them so effortlessly and perfectly - better than probably any other bass I've heard. A perfect example of what I am talking about is Matt's bass slide at about minute 2:40 in the PTX cover of "Shallow". If you have time to answer, I'm just curious! Thanks!
Totally depends on where the slides are! Generally when I don't like them, it's when the lead melody slides around too much. I think it's a useful technique, especially when used to convey a certain emotion, but only when used sparingly -- if you do anything too much, it kind of takes the value out of it
I can't accurately speak to Peter's reason, but it might have to do with him being a classical opera singer? As a classically trained vocalist myself, I don't particularly care for an abundance of sliding either. Sliding, particularly gratuitous sliding, is more a facet of pop or especially country music and sounds more...informal, I guess? It is also sometimes (not always, of course) used to cover over inconsistent, sloppy or lazy vocals. Either that, or it's a stylistic choice to add some interest or contrast but, again, too much and it starts to sound sloppy or breaks genre into country-sounding. I actually agree with Peter that Geoff tends to slide a bit too much for my taste, especially in his solo work. Now, I'm not trying to criticize Geoff, and we all know that he is definitely neither lazy nor inconsistent in his singing. He has amazing technique, so it's most definitely a stylistic choice. When he's singing a cover of a country song, the sliding really serves him. When he covers other genres, however, it kinda sounds like he's doing a slight country-ish version of them, which I don't think he's necessarily going for at times. Again, I LOVE Geoff's voice and his work. This is just my take and it's really just a matter of personal preference. And again, Peter's reason may be completely different. I just thought I'd lend one perspective on it. :)
@@PeterBarber Thank you, Peter!
@@ladykilgore2337 Thank you!
Was that a confirmed pit viper moment for Eli?? Your reaction was great!
This was piece arranged by Jeff
You should react to Lauren Paley, Malinda, b
Bobby, and Colm McGuiness doing Hoist. Their version is so incredibly haunting. Lauren at the top creates some amazing dissonance. So good!
The Major 3rd in F minor Geoff did in that one section was definitely different... this is normally only common in Blues music; although, it's used in Jazz sometimes, too. Very interesting choice. It's not something you see in Aeolian minor, though. I use it quite often with the pentatonic minor scale. It's nearly like they were trying to superimpose a harmonic minor transition over the Aeolian minor key.
Hello ! I admire your reactions, please show us your voice doing some of the tricks you hear in the videos.
Definitely saw that lol
you recorded this on my birthday
Worth the wait. Your reactions are gold. Just one thing... It's Ellie, not Eeli. ❤️
Another great reaction. One word.... Eli's name is pronounced El - EE (not the more usual EE- LI). Short for Eliezer (hope I spelled that right!)
Hy from Italy, you're great! like a lot your technical reconstruction of all the song! One request, react to Geoff's High and dry cover! hugs!
so i have to recommend Voiceplay ft. Rachel Potter Phantom of the Opera. Since you're a trained opera singer I'd love to see your take on this Opera classic 😍😍😘😘
Need to wear that mask while you watch their version of "Friends on the Other Side." :)
Thanks for this reaction! As I'm sure that someone has told you, Eli is pronounced 'Elly'. I think you should go as deep into the music theory as you'd like. Looking forward to your next reaction!
Fantastic reaction. Can you react to VoicePlay’s ‘my mother told me’ and ‘Warriors’ please xx
Has he done My Mother Told Me by voiceplay and I missed it? Seems like an obvious choice for him.
