Voiceplay is starting off the year strong. J. None and VioLayne were the perfect combo to take this arrangement over the edge. Apparently Layne played classical violin for 11 years. There is nothing this group can't do!
VoicePlay is always very respectful of the original when they go to arrange their own version. I think that's why they always come out so well. As others have pointed out, check out their cover of Warriors to see more VioLayne and J on violin as well. You should also check out Geoff's solo channel. I think you would really enjoy his videos as well, and you get a chance to hear his full range. Plus he plays the piano, so you get to see that too. I'm looking forward to more VP reactions from you.
Appreciate your reaction to this. If you want to have a different vibe from them, try their cover of I Can't Make You Love Me - heartbreaking, or In the Hall of the Mountain King - hysterically funny!
Just so you know, Eli is pronounced to rhyme with jelly, or belly, it's short for Eliezer. On this occassion Geoff was the arranger amd added: Layne's violin into the arrangement. If you watch their Warriors you will see more of Layne's violin and also J.None on on violin. :)
I love the part where the music swells and out of nowhere comes the violin. I keep listening to it between watching reactors listen to it and it might just edge out, Hoist the Colours as my favorite and I didn’t think they could ever do that. On top of that it’s a metal song and I don’t listen to metal, but I guess I do now!
So in this case, Geoff was the director, not Layne. They let us know who does it in the notes of their video. Geoff arranged it and planned and directed. Watch enough Voiceplay and you'll know when Geoff or Layne arranges without even reading the notes, though - they have very different styles, both brilliant. Geoff blew us all out of the water this time.
This one has broken everyone who has watched this. Then vioLayne showed up and it broke us all over again. I cried with the original, and I cried with the cover. Amazing. Loved the reaction.
I am glad I'm not the only one who didn't know the original. All the reactors are like, "everyone knows this song" and I'm over here feeling like I've failed Gen X. I have since listened to Metallica and a couple other versions, but since I heard Voiceplay's version the first time I have been obsessed. Definitely their best work and Geoff's best arrangement (as others said, its pronounced Jeff). Definitely check out lots more Voiceplay and also Geoff's solo work. PS - I adore the lipstick color you are wearing, it looks fabulous on you!
Your literally the 15th reactor I've watched have a melt down to this and then the 🎻 added by Layne. It's an awesome rendition of a holy grail song to the metal rock 🤘world!
Absolutely love your reaction! This is the very best iteration of Voiceplay. They have so many videos with guest artists, and they are great. But to have J None back with them is just so amazing. And you are correct...each one is so wonderfully talented. Thank you.
It's said Ellie, short for Eliezer. He is a former rock tenor, this is perfect for him. Geoff= Jeff is the arranger this time. Shares the work with Layne. Geoff often like to start with some humming and can also interspace it if he deems it necessary. Layne has played violin for many years. Violayne breaks out also in Warriors where he also beatboxer whilst playing. JNone also yields a violin in that cover, shortly. Warriors is considered the prequel to Dream On in the VoicePlay chronicles.
I never recovered from the shock of Layne's violin when they released Warriors - and this is incredibly gorgeous, a perfect opportunity to hear it again. It's been a long wait, but this is stunning and Layne's violin is outrageous. Again.
I mean, it's super simple violin riff. I don't think he used more than one or two strings. Just send a link to TwoSet and get their opinion on some pop-ish violin riffs.
That last open bit during the Patreon listing is actually from their karaoke track which is a perk for a given level of their Patreon donors. If you ever wanted to sing with them. Great reaction, and instant sub from me.
I never get tired of this song, and this is my first time seeing you react - and I’m here for it!! You truly appreciate how wonderful they are and I just loved watching you hear it for the first time!
I also was not familiar with the song and checked it out but I did not know what was coming. I’ve been listening to this for a couple of weeks since I’m a patron and every time I watch it I am still blown away every single time. As much as you enjoyed, is there others I was thrilled to see that you did a reaction on this one.
They made a masterpiece out of this cover. Words just don't even begin to express how good it is. I've been looking forward to your take and I loved every second of it. You're a great reactor!
Great reaction! Just FYI, Geoff is pronounced “Jeff” and Eli is short for Eliezer, so Eli rhymes with belly. LOL. No idea when J.None’s term in the Navy is up but he’s said he’ll come back and I hope that’s true. You just saw why. And VioLayne! The only other time Layne has treated us to his violin is the song Warriors-which you should definitely check out. And if you’re wanting to hear more from Cesar (I love his voice) there are several shorts that give him more play, and he does have some great opportunities to shine in their medley from Wicked. Seriously, I enjoyed this reaction! Definitely check out more by Voiceplay!
@@lkayh He went in for 5 years. Already did 2. That's seems to be the norm now. Use to be 3. Maybe it also depends on what section your in. He's in the chorus so might be longer. He still had to go through boot camp though.
Thank you for another priceless reaction to Voice Play. Please do a reaction video of Voice Plays cover...In My Room by the Beach Boys. Voice Play knocked this one out of the ball park.
Almost all of VoicePlay's arrangements are done by Geoff or Layne. Geoff's rule of thumb (and I assume Layne's as well) is that 1) Don't bother doing an arrangement if you can't bring something new to it, but 2) Don't go so way out with the arrangement that no one can recognize the original song.
Have you seen the Evolution of Justin Bieber medley? It’s by this new a cappella group called Radius. You should react to it! I think you’d love it! It’s just like these singers but younger! They seem to be underrated/not heard of too much

That was a lovely reaction, thank you! And welcome to the ranks of VioLayne's victims. XD
Love the way you check out the song being of being covered. Enjoyed.

I just love this one. It's stunning and feels as though that''s the way we lived our lives. I lost him after 48 yrs to colon cancer.

@@DustinPlatt From my perspective it's far more about tone and choice than it is about complexity. Like voices, sometimes less is more.
Loved this from you! Really excited to see you keep going on this VoicePlay journey.
They are amazing!!!!!! They gave me whole body chills. wow

They call Eli the rock God 🤘as that's his background. He's perfect for lead. He's got the grit and scream for metal music.

🎉Loved your reaction! I have watched several Metallica “metal head” reactions that did not recognize the intro but you did! Bravo!!!
It was SO beautiful…taking me back and then Layne’s violin made those memories soar!! Well done!!
That was their best one! Absolutely fantastic 👏 👌 😀 👍

J None has 3 years left. He sings with the Northwest Passage Naval Band in Washington.
@@jackyfriedman1963 That’s way too long!!!

@@ronsbrat525 too long, I say, too long!!
@@ronsbrat525 he had to do boot camp even if he isn’t fighting? I never knew that.
I love your reactions Mello

It's just dang.
Just say dang.
Great reaction!!
You should check out some of geoff's solo work as well, you can't find a bad song with either voiceplay or solo geoff
Might I suggest you now listen to "Can't make you love me" with E.J. Cardona. I think you might be ready. Just one ting...bring your tissues.

I enjoyed your commentary. Just one thing...."Eli" rhymes with Jelly, and Geoff is pronounced Jeff.
eli sounds like belly without the B
Pronounced Eli like jelly!!
Eli is pronounced elly like jelly. Short for Eliezer.
Geoff is pronounced Jeff 😜
Never listened to Metallica???? Don't sleep on them and you should check out AC/DC thunderstruck
