@@davidwall3673 that's not how subharmonics work lol, but I personally hear a F1 at the lowest during that slide. There is no Eb1, people are probably just trying to find a new low for Geoff.
@@AC-ks4cd ppl in bass singing nation are saying his perspective is different on it, but it wasn't chest cuz it was too raspy and not resonant at all, and chest is very resonant, even when you control it. It's definitely not a sub, but prolly more of a chest-fry.
Geoff is an absolute bass beast! Don't get me wrong, I love Avi, Tim and Matt, but if I only got to listen to one bass for the rest of my life it would be Geoff!
if you're referring to nowadays bass singers i agree...but in the past JD Sumner and Nic Val maybe they weren't better singers but thet had lower and deeper voices
Usually not a fan of reaction channels because of all the pausing + talking over, but watched you two react to this months back and on another Geoff reaction binge and had to watch again. Your reactions are enjoyable to watch, subscribed!
The fact that Geoff has that much capacity in just his chest voice alone is mind-blowing to me. Holy smokes,, that man is something special for sure ! ♥️
Tennessee Ernie Ford was a bass-baritone singer. He was a classically trained singer, but found jobs on radio doing 'hillbilly' personality type. At one point, he also was singing too & was discovered by a Capitol records scout. He then got his own TV show while also doing snippets on radio. He released almost 50 country singles through the early 1950s, several of which made the charts. He gained national fame in 1954 as the 'country bumpkin', "Cousin Ernie", on three episodes of I Love Lucy. In 1955, Ford recorded "The Ballad of Davy Crockett" (which reached number 4 on the country music chart) with "Farewell to the Mountains" on side B. Ford scored an unexpected hit on the pop charts in 1955 with his rendering of "Sixteen Tons", a sparsely arranged coal-miner's lament. Merle Travis had first recorded it in 1946. It reflected experiences of the Travis family in the mines at Muhlenberg County, Kentucky. It spent ten weeks at number one on the country charts and seven weeks at number one on the pop charts. The record sold over twenty million copies, and was awarded a gold disc. The song made Ford a crossover star, and became his signature song. He later went on to do an evening variety show incorporating gospel shows to end them & then a talk show. Eventually, he did guest spots on others' shows, then became a spokesman & eventually retired. th-cam.com/video/pLVtJkpl_ug/w-d-xo.html ========== From SW PA. Great-grandfather & grandfather were miners. [Pittsburgh was known for having high level of pollution from the mills. It would erode nylons. Irony? I read somewhere (not sure true) the U.S. still has a large resource but now ship out to foreign countries to produce steel at a cheaper cost.] There's a symbiotic relationship that's missed in why coal & ore mines were existing. Majority was for manufacturing specifically steel mills. Didn't have the tractor-trailers so rail & river were the modes & still are for raw resources then manufactured steel.

Why explain this? In my area steel mills were peppered around the rivers & the coal/ore mines were developed near deposits. In PA, we called the small communities 'patches'. They could be stuck near train lines (now defunct) or near rivers. Many times farms would be surrounding them. Unlike cities, there were no supermarkets. Grew vegetables & fruit in yard along with had chickens & pigs. There would be vendors came by on certain days for milk. There are still a few coal/ore mines but not that many as times have changed. Many are closed as the resource dried up or, supply diminished. My great-grandfather & others managed to buy their houses AFTER the company closed down. My grandfather, his children were all born in that house. The house is over 160 years old. His sister my great-aunt lived there until she died at the age of 104. Both my great-grandfather & grandfather died of 'black lung" and "lung cancer' (of course these type of guys smoked packs of cigarettes daily). I drive around I can see these patches still living on nearby residential plans.
OMG I love you gals reactions! I've watched this video countless times since Geoff released it to his Patreon members and I still get chills every single time! I grew up hearing Tennessee Ernie Ford singing this as my grandpa absolutely loved it and I spent countless hours with my grandpa so I was really excited when Geoff announced he was finally going to sing it. It is just so incredibly amazing. I love the interaction amongst the four Geoff's and using the tools the way he did was just genius. Those tools by the way actually belong to his Dad.
He actually hit a Eb1 In chest voice,... He said in a comment that he did this in full chest voice and said that there's no Subharmonics and he felt like since it was already sang by a bass he decided to "step it up a notch" (Quote by himself) and call it a Low bass singer cover
VoicePlay is gonna have a new video out either this week or next week and it’s really really good, serious, you two will absolutely LOVE it. The featuring artist is INSANE. I really think they fit SOOOO well into the group. Looking forward to when that comes out.
I will never ever get used to Geoff and his low notes he is just so damn smooth. Love your reactions you guys are too cute. I know the way Geoff looks at you it feels like he's staring into your soul. ♥
As a fellow sub-harmonic bass, it makes me laugh out loud at the reaction of young people to a basso profundo (operatic term, I studied classical voice). We have been singing low like this for decades. You've just always been exposed to falsetto boys. Check out the original version of this song by Tennessee Ernie Ford. (Not criticizing. I love hearing Geoff too. )
Wonder how many vividly remember hearing/seeing Tennessee Ernie Ford… I was born and bred in Nashville. Remember many of those fellows singing in small bars, some described as dives. Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs…. Had brother in law who “substituted” playing in Danny Davis and the Nashville Brass. We hit the honky tonks in Nashville in the early 70’s. Good times.
This was the very first Geoff or Voiceplays videos I ever saw or heard. I actually thought that it was identical quadruplets at first then flipped out when I realized it was all Geoff. I have binged all of their videos in a day then added them to my play lists immediately.
I am new to your channel lol, I love it. The reactions of you two is too funny! lol I thought you were gonna have to pause the video when Kaz went mental for a second when Geoff said "Well a bless my soul" lol Priceless. Way to hang in there.....for a few seconds lol
I've always loved this song. Remember listening to Tennessee Ernie Ford sing it when I was a kid. This was an amazing version. Oh, if y'all would like to listen to some more bass singing, Chris Rupp (formerly of Home Free) just released a cover of Josh Turner's "Long Black Train" featuring Tim Foust. It's pretty good!
Was a sceptic cuz I’m an old school country kinda gal. Tennessee Ernie Ford would approve of this!! Amazing job!! I’m gonna be looking for more...the laundry can WAIT!
Y'all at the start: "Okay, I'm ready" Me: "No, you really aren't." There is no being ready for Geoff's performances. You think every time that you know how good it's going to be, and he just surpasses every time. Anyway, love your reactions!
This song is so familiar to me. I grew up hearing this song and singing the lyrics came so naturally after so many years past. But Tennessee Ernie Ford's voice never gave me the chills across my nerves that this man does.
splendidly done!! Sarah's face is so reactive!! You two are amazing and I loves you dears!! I know you would have his babies kaz, which is ok, I would too >.>
That opening joke tho!!! omg lol. this version of this song is just AWESOME!!!!!! love it! Tennessee Ernie Ford's original was very cool but this just drooooopppppppssss the bottom base!! What is this dude's Range??!!! massively cool! Fun reaction, thanks ladies.
My first video I watched of you kaz is this one and it gets me every time lol Sarah is so cute in this one I did the same thing on the low notes lol girls go rosy on these notes lol
This is TRULY GREAT!! Tech nowadays is amazing to allow one person to do amazing music ( like the trombone player who did 4 parts plus finger snaps and hand claps for rhythm, by going back and adding to looping parts)....Only bummer is,most likely he can't do it in a live acoustic performance.Buuuutt maybe with cloning.... :)
You really need to turn captions on for Geoff’s and VoicePlay’s videos. They often put in funny stuff like calling Oogie Boogie’s last note “subterranean” and this one calling that run at the end a “super dramatic bend to a low F#.”
This cover is based off of Rockapella's version of the song. Geoff has said their bassist Barry Carl is his favorite bassist. Various country artists have recorded it the most famous two being Tennessee Ernie Ford and Johnny Cash.
This one's subtitled "Geoff Castellucci Makes Women Pregnant With Just His Voice."
I wish I could like this comment twice!
I was thinking the same thing. LOL
That's how he got his wife and how she got herself a son lol
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!
So that's what happened to Sarah heh
He hit all those low notes in chest voice, no subharmonics. That's why you thought it sounded different.
👆👆This👆👆
What about the backround notes at 2:12? (they sound like subharmonics to me.)
He stated it was all chest voice with no subharmonics in his comments.
@@xXNunduXx that was a literal bass. this song actually isn't acapella.
@@xXNunduXx One of Geoff's comments on the video was that there were no subharmonics used in the making of the song. I'm taking his word for it.
"Well Bless my Soul!". That line caused so many peoples jaws to hit the floor and stay there. XD
And makes me question my heterosexuality
He hit either an Eb1 or a F#1 when he said “step a side” and the last notes were B1, Bb1, G#1 everything in this song was pure chest too :)
It's a Eb1-F#1 slide actually, so youre correct either way
Everything less then F1 was either a subharmonic or a fry.
@@davidwall3673 He said himself there were no subharmonics there, and that "step aside" was clearly chest...

You commented the same thing on another reaction video I swear😂
@@jonathanpenyak700 yes, I did. It was every bit as valid on that one as it is on this one 😉😉
1000% this
if you're referring to nowadays bass singers i agree...but in the past JD Sumner and Nic Val maybe they weren't better singers but thet had lower and deeper voices
Sarah: You gotta ease into it.
Me: Oh, no he doesn’t!
Both of you: We’re ready.
Me: Oh, no you’re not!

Beautiful man with a beautiful voice. True facts.
Those Women felt Geoff's voice all the way down to their toes.
Geoff's voice goes down to an A1.
Yep, at least I'm not the only woman sitting around drooling over basso profundo men!!
Check out Ivan Rebroff singing Evening Bells. The Hu also sing low in Genghis Khan's classic war chant Wolf Totem.
Excited to see your reaction, its one of his best so far imo.
Agreed!!!
This one gave me chills he is absolutely incredible!!
When you watch it again (and you *know* you will 😁), turn on the captions for some cheeky Geoff...
Loved this reaction 💕
You guys are hilarious!! I was sitting here laughing the whole time just waiting for him to sing “step aside” and waiting for your reaction! 🤣🤩🙌🏼
The fact that Geoff has that much capacity in just his chest voice alone is mind-blowing to me. Holy smokes,, that man is something special for sure ! ♥️

This is one of the most entertaining reactions to this song thus far... it embodies exactly how I feel inside! Haha

This is the best reaction to his song 16 tons I have seen so far and I've seen quite a few!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
@kazandrabrock thanks for the like that makes me happy I even subscribed to your channel because your videos are so great. 👍
Can't wait to see your reactions to this! I absolutely love this cover

Kaz, my husband can hit the same notes that Geoff does in this song so I know EXACTLY how you and Sarah feel during this cover.... Oh God!! Lol!
you're welcome sweetheart. love you Megan. 😈
My husband has subwoofers in his car. The amount of amazing this song is - it's tenfold when using them.
You two are SOOO much fun!! I love your stunned silence at the end. Sarah, I hope you're feeling better!
I absolutely love watching both you and Sarah react to Geoff. It absolutely makes my day!
As a fellow sub-harmonic bass, it makes me laugh out loud at the reaction of young people to a basso profundo (operatic term, I studied classical voice). We have been singing low like this for decades. You've just always been exposed to falsetto boys. Check out the original version of this song by Tennessee Ernie Ford. (Not criticizing.

Yes but, basso profundos are rather rare compared to say, tenors. so it makes sense why we wouldn't see a lot of them.
Wonder how many vividly remember hearing/seeing Tennessee Ernie Ford… I was born and bred in Nashville. Remember many of those fellows singing in small bars, some described as dives. Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs…. Had brother in law who “substituted” playing in Danny Davis and the Nashville Brass. We hit the honky tonks in Nashville in the early 70’s. Good times.
Girls, you two need comfy chairs made of Bass-Subwoofers for listening to Geoffs Low-Notes :D
This was the very first Geoff or Voiceplays videos I ever saw or heard. I actually thought that it was identical quadruplets at first then flipped out when I realized it was all Geoff. I have binged all of their videos in a day then added them to my play lists immediately.
He left you two speechless. I love ❤ his voice. Gr8 reaction. Thx for sharing. 💕
The last note he hit was a chest Ab1. As Geoff Castellucci confirmed he is singing only in full voice throughout the song.
Ab = G# but yes. G#1 is NASTY in chest
Most adorable reaction to Geoff EVER! Loved it!
omg this is my favorite reaction by far! thank you so much i loved this
3:32 the look on Sarah’s face = PRICELESS!!
lmao omg you two are so hilarious to watch, i love y'all's reactions
I am new to your channel lol, I love it. The reactions of you two is too funny! lol I thought you were gonna have to pause the video when Kaz went mental for a second when Geoff said "Well a bless my soul" lol Priceless. Way to hang in there.....for a few seconds lol
You two kill me. Love it. Geoff Castellucci: the epitome of awesomeness. Agreed?
Are you saying, he reached a new High in Lows...
And I love the fact that the both of you got all dressed up for Geoff.
i love you 2 and i love this performer.. just back showing love dears . ♥♥♥
Oh man ,can't wait to see your reaction!!!!!!!!
Cant wait to see this one, absolutely mind blowing
I am loving ❤ 💕 your reactions. You Too are Amazing!!
Just about every reaction to this I’ve seen has women’s jaw dropping to the floor and so enamored, they’re speechless.
I need a cooling fan after watching and hearing this.
The last note was G#1, the same note Tim Foust hit at the end of Misty Mountains which you guys just reacted too!
Yeah but tim did that in growl not chest
Loved your reaction ladies there was actually seismic activity when this song was sang😂😂❤️❤️🔥🔥
You've helped me create a new word ....... "ear-gasm"
I have listened to it 15 times, it does not get any better.
You mean it never gets old?
Not in the slightest, after 2 months it is still awesome
@@Lefthandedhammer couldn't agree more 👌
Can you believe Geoff said he had "spaghetti arms"?!
This is my favorite solo cover he's done. Also that was all in chest voice, he didn't go subharmonic to hit those notes.
I've always loved this song. Remember listening to Tennessee Ernie Ford sing it when I was a kid. This was an amazing version. Oh, if y'all would like to listen to some more bass singing, Chris Rupp (formerly of Home Free) just released a cover of Josh Turner's "Long Black Train" featuring Tim Foust. It's pretty good!
You guys are THE FUNNIEST thanks 😆😆😆
He will couse your cat to turn into a lion. and when he says step aside it will make you leave the country
i keep coming back Kaz an Sarah.. i love Geoff so much, but your reactions are just amazing ^_^
Was a sceptic cuz I’m an old school country kinda gal. Tennessee Ernie Ford would approve of this!! Amazing job!! I’m gonna be looking for more...the laundry can WAIT!
Great reaction ladies! My reaction was the exact same 😍
When he hit that bass drop, I felt like his voice weighed sixteen tons LMAO
I pretty much love anything Geoff does, but DAMN! This is by far his best song ever in my opinion! And the visuals are hot too! 🥰
💯 Agree!!! He looked real good ;)
Y'all at the start: "Okay, I'm ready"
Me: "No, you really aren't."
There is no being ready for Geoff's performances. You think every time that you know how good it's going to be, and he just surpasses every time.
Anyway, love your reactions!
good! I have been with you since the 50 subs, hugs from Brazil
Thank you so much!!! Thank you for supporting me!! You are AMAZING!! HUGS!
;)

got the chills ref,,,,well done lol
I absolutely enjoyed your reactions to that video.
love it tht yr screen is bigger thn u...also yre honest abt geoff...
You're reaction 5:58 is just priceless. It says it all!
This is video proof of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" axiom.......
........"Always bring a towel."
Gotta Love Y'alls Reactions!!! Can't imagine what y'alls Beaus think of y'alls Getting So Excited!!!
Lol they understand!!
Love your reactions, great stuff!
Wow I enjoy listening to him I hope he will keep up the good work take care
I don't think I'll ever get tired of watching you guys get your ovaries melted by this guy over and over again xD (It's okay, it happens to all of us)
I agree. By the end, the two of you needed some milk...and cookies ❤
Classic reactions to Geoff or Tim 😅 Keep it up, ladies.😊
I love how Sarah is just like.....nope....I'm done...
This has to be the greatest example of 100% justifiable simping 🤣🤣
And i love every second
My first video I watched of you kaz is this one and it gets me every time lol Sarah is so cute in this one I did the same thing on the low notes lol girls go rosy on these notes lol
“Is that a new note” 😭😭😂 Geoff just created the H1
Y’all are the funniest reactors.
Did you guys not watch his cover of High and Dry? I remember watching it but i cant find the video on your channel anymore.
We haven’t posted it because we did react to it but then my footage was gone from the SD card. ☹️
This made me realise how crazy Geoff is.
"I'm not into dudes, but for a shining moment I saw the appeal." -me, when I first heard this cover.
lmfao omg y'all are awesome, and the reactions. breathe girls, breathe lol. need a fan? a cold drink? lol
...cigarette? After that performance, “smoke ‘em if you got ‘em.” Lol
This is TRULY GREAT!! Tech nowadays is amazing to allow one person to do amazing music ( like the trombone player who did 4 parts plus finger snaps and hand claps for rhythm, by going back and adding to looping parts)....Only bummer is,most likely he can't do it in a live acoustic performance.Buuuutt maybe with cloning.... :)
I ain't got nothin'. That was the look you had at the end.
Agreed. 4 of this man is too much for us ladies to handle... then you add in the bass and we’re dead.
I didn't know where to look... but every angle was magical ;)
You guys were funny. Great reaction. :)
Love your reactions.
He kept going deeper and deeper at the end.
Your reactions are great !!
Good lord that opening joke was so stupid but SO FUNNY 🤣🤣🤣
Im glad i found this channel its not as serious as others (sorry cant spell)
Grew listening to Tennessee Ernie Ford doing 16 Tons
Those constant dips into the 1st octave and come right back out like nothing happened..
Definitely check out Geoff - High and Dry, it shows off his incredible range really well.
You really need to turn captions on for Geoff’s and VoicePlay’s videos. They often put in funny stuff like calling Oogie Boogie’s last note “subterranean” and this one calling that run at the end a “super dramatic bend to a low F#.”
That will forever be one of my favorite jokes.
Geoff. Always good for a Bass Workout, along with Bobby, Tomi and a few others.
This cover is based off of Rockapella's version of the song. Geoff has said their bassist Barry Carl is his favorite bassist. Various country artists have recorded it the most famous two being Tennessee Ernie Ford and Johnny Cash.
He went chest on the last note instead of subharmonic, thats why it sounded different
That pun was horrible and I loved it, +1 from me xD
