Eli is an incredible actor. He’s like a chameleon-totally different from character to character. Cesar can do that too, from the tragic young sailor here to the fierce Viking in Valhalla. Every one of these guys is amazing at both the music and theater. Great reaction,Zack! I’m glad you’re having fun with Voiceplay!
Great reaction- thanks! I am so glad I subscribed to your channel and am enjoying your respect and appreciation for all of the talent each member of Voice Play brings. You even have all their names right so that officially makes you a "Voice Player" or "Voice Playa" (fan of Voice Play) like the rest of us. Yes, Cesar was using his shackle as part of the percussion, Geoff did the vocal arrangement, and Eli (yes you pronounced his name right) did the lighting effects. Love Voice Play's theatrical approach too ( they have all worked as performers for Universal and/or Disney theme parks so they really are a complete package for entertainment). If you like Disney, you will love their covers of "We Don't Talk About Bruno" and "The Little Mermaid Medley" and it will give you and opportunity to hear Voice Play with a female vocalist as their featured guest. For gaming, check out their cover of "Dragonborn Comes". For Rock covers check out "Warriors", "Seven Nation Army", "Nothing Else Matters", "Dream On", Carry On My Wayward Son" or "In The Air Tonight".
Jose was not the featured artist who was supposed to do this one, but Covid travel restrictions prevented the original collaborator from being there. Eli had already recorded the part that Jose sang, but his voice just was not appropriate for that sound. Eli re-recorded that rocking beast of a tenor line and knocked everyone's socks off!
Yes that’s correct, Eli’s name is pronounced like Ellie. I’m excited to see you get to some of Geoff’s solo stuff too eventually. 16 tons is a great one to start with.
This one has been neck-and-neck with Nothing Else Matters for my favorite VoicePlay number for over a year now. If you love pirates, you should definitely check out Drunken Sailor, which was released after this one but strikes me more as a prequel in how it's set up and the makeup is done--these are the guys from that video after they've been through some crap. 😆 They've also got a fun mini version of A Pirate's Life For Me and a mid-length cover of The Wellermen that you might enjoy. And their new video that should be dropping pretty soon now may also be of interest. Thanks for a great reaction!
First comment! Oh, this is so good! I listened to it last year (according to Spotify) over 45,300 times. I sleep to it. It's second only to Valhalla Calling in my book.
@@zack_reactsI listen to it as I sleep, you see. Because there's something mesmerizing and soothing about it. Yeah, Cesar shakes the shackles! (Say that five times fast!)
@@zack_reacts Yes, it's El-lee (rhymes with Jelly). Have you done "Drunken Sailor" yet? Because if not, it's a great follow-up to this. Watch to the very end!
This is,by far, my favorite sea shanty on the Internet! Pirate epic! Only to be out done by their Viking epic, "Valhalla Calling." This group is so amazing!
They really are the theatre kids of a capella! If you like pirate stuff... they do quite a load of shorts - and their short of Wellerman is absolutely amazing (I see 1.8M views). Can't wait for you to get into their other genres (like their rock, gaming and Disney stuff)...
Not every reactor has the set up you do. And, that's why many responders suggest headsets. This must truly be your hobby and enjoy musical sounds. Thank you.
Yep, it's Eli, rhyming with 'jelly'; short for Eliezer. And I think the unspoken rule that VoicePlay follows is that if they use anything other than a voice, to create a sound then they will show it; Cesar was indeed using the shackles in places for an atmospheric percussive element.
This was my first VoicePlay 28 months ago. They will have me forever. Tomorrow noon: Geoff will drop a new solo. Wicked Game. Don't know it yet. Geoff has been described as a big cat curled up inside a cello purring.
Great reaction as usual. By the way, you don't have to sell yourself as a pirates fan, the face gives it away during the song. On a different note, while not about pirates, you might want to check out "My Mother Told Me" or "A whistling Lad" by the Hound + Fox, featuring Adam Chance. Adam is the key driver of his Home Free's pirate or sea shanty songs and his work with the Hound + Fox really brings it out.
Yes Cesar shakes the shackles. I have to remind myself constantly whenever I listen to this song my dogs are nit getting into anything (they sound just like my dogs tags) If you like pirate then you're going to want to check out Voiceplay's versions of Wellerman (it's one of their biggies shot in mini style) and Drunken Sailor. They also have Yo Ho in their mini's
There is also a name "Eli" that is typically pronounced the way you think (at least in the English-speaking world); but in this case, it's short for Eleazar. Totally agree about headphones. They're better than cheap speakers that most people assume everyone has, but an actual good sound system is better.
Yes, this isnt the usual American name of Eli, it's short for Eliezer, a Hebrew biblical name. Actually i suppose the name Eli originally came from that too but Americanised. Except among Jews. :) Yes you can here the shackles occasionally. Drunken Sailor is fun though not actually Viking, more whaling ship sailors, but it's a lot of fun. The thing about headphones is that Geoff's voice vibrates through your entire body when he goes super low. Also when they switch the sound from left to right or vice versa, it's moreobvious wearing headphones.
More pirate stuff, eh? Okay, I have a suggestion for a reaction (or just for on your own for fun), out of the realms of A Capella. There's this channel called "The Hillywood Show." Two sisters, fan-based. They do amazing (mostly musical) parodies. Their Pirates of The Caribbean Parody is EPIC! Especially if you also are familiar with Adam Lambert. You know, the current lead singer of Queen? He has a solo career too. If you watch it on your own, let me know what you think!

The arrangement, as usual for Voiceplay, is so unusual and just wonderful.
Eli is short for Eliezar, and shortened it is "El-ee."
This was known as the reactor-breaker when it first came out because it astounded most people, especially Geoff’s F1 subs and Eli’s rock belts 😄
What about Geoff’s belt?! That has to be a two or three octave slide!
@@Gael4ceC#2-F4 is impressive but he has also done B4-E1 and D5-D1(i think) all in very short amount of time in each their songs
This is one of my favorites of theirs! I love their theatrics too. It really sets them apart ❤

Holy smokes- that's a lot of listens. That's like 123 X a day.

Well, since you're in the pirate mode, you need to do VoicePlay's version of Drunken Sailor next!

I absolutely love your approach and style of reacting! And I love VoicePlay. Love pirates too, so this was the best triple ever!

The only thing with the speakers vs the headphones is that these acappella bass singers can blow out your subwoofer--literally.
Eli - like "jelly"
Yes Cesar shakes the shackles. I have to remind myself constantly whenever I listen to this song my dogs are nit getting into anything (they sound just like my dogs tags)

They suck you in from the first line and then hold you in till the last note.
They killed it!!!!
One of my VP favorites! Great reaction. Eli is short for Elieazar ... so Elly.
One of my favorite from them. I'm with you. Anything pirate, I'm in! I've done pirate festivals for over a decade.
yes it’s pronounced Elly to rhyme with jelly ❤
This is one of my fav voiceplay songs 🤗💜💜
You need to do Seven Nation Army to get another big dose of Eli as rock god!
0ne of my favorites from voiceplay. Great reaction.

Totally agree about headphones. They're better than cheap speakers that most people assume everyone has, but an actual good sound system is better.
This song, their cover - can make you seasick with the swells and rolls they create.
It is L E as in limited edition
Such a great one.
Eli is short for Eliezer that's why you get the LE pronunciation.
Great reaction!! Jump into Warriors, Dream On and Seven Nation Army next!
Amazing! If you like piratey things, check out "My Jolly Sailor Bold" by The Bass Gang.
Love your reaction!
