Ahead of all the other "you are NOT prepared jokes", can I just say how much I'm in awe that Geoff has perfected his ability to play a Disney Villain? I can't help wonder what VoicePlay is going to do when they run out of Disney Villain roles for Geoff to play?
@@barbarakennedy2667 Heck yeah. i sure want a Geoff Rasputin! Or a Voiceplay rendition of Toxic Love of Ferngully. Hexxus not really deepest voice and always the swag, so this is more for J. None. Same for Drake´s Don't Make Me Laugh of the Pebble and The Penguin.
So many songs to do still. I´m thinking of the tv series as well. i mean friggin Tim Curry did an evil lullaby for a one episode villain named the Manta Ray who is early design Ursula redone in masculine form. Only 1.30 minutes so I guess for a Halloween short?
For those who do not know: Mykal Kilgore was one of orginal members of Voiceplay along with Geoff, Layne, Scott and Earl. We only saw him in "Just sing". It's great to see him singing with you guys!
Thank you all so much for the love! It was a real gift to be able to come back to my high school friends and make music together again! Way before I got to do Broadway, PMJ, NBC Live Musicals, and before being Grammy nominated for my debut album I was in “4 The Love,” the first iteration of this group. It’s a gift to given a hero’s welcome!
Cesar should not be allowed to be that adorable when playing a brainless villain. The jumps and breaks in his voice in this one were just so controlled and impressive. Also the nose tap was the cutest thing!!
The subtitles when Geoff roars saying “meow” killed me! HAHAHAHAHA i listened to this song about 20 times this morning on spotify and even that doesn’t prepared me for this. I just wish that when the hyenas sings “ la la la” the boys would be shaking and dancing like the movie, would’ve been hilarious! Ceasar was perfect as Ed! Hahahahahaha
Because 'Adorable' and 'Cesar' actually two words that mean the same thing? And somehow your line reminds me of asking my dog' who's the best doggie ever?'
If anyone ever asks me, I'll tell them that THIS is the live action of Disney's The Lion King. VoicePlay doing what VoicePlay does best. This is just so well done and Mykal was a fantastic addition to this. What a voice 😍
This is fantastic! Eli's voice is awesome, Layne's beatboxing and crazy eyes is fantastic, Mykal's high notes are incredible, Cesar is adorable, and why is bad guy Geoff so dang hot? This song is such a bop!
Geoff sang the tenor B4 in "Oogie boogie song". He also sang this note in the "You're a mean one Mr. Grinch" and in the "Peaches". He also sang D5 and E5 in other songs. I do not know if it was a full voice or a mixed voice, but singing such high notes for a bass is incredible. He's just very humble and he even said that he doesn't consider himself a true bass.
Here are all the things I was NOT prepared for! 1. Geoff’s first lower note on “pride”, not where I thought it was going! Which is hilarious cause I should know better by now!!!😂 2.Mykal’s beautiful high notes! 3. Cesar’s perfect jumps and “voice cracks”! 4. Geoff’s expression at 2:05!!! He’s perfected acting the part of the Disney Villain! And then the genius arrangement! Brilliant beatboxing from Layne! Gorgeous vocals from Eli! THANK YOU for this masterpiece!!!❤
What a masterpiece!!! It's a good thing Geoff is a good guy in the real world, 'cause if he was a bad guy, way too many people would be following him and we would be in trouble 😅 Good job guys!!
Maaaaaaan the part where Geoff was singing “respected saluted, AND SEEEEEEN FOR THE WONDER I AAAM.” I can’t remember a time where I’ve had chills drug out of me like that on the first time I hear a song. Bravo to this entire rendition of this song!
Okay, we need to write an actual movie (with lots and lots of songs) for VoicePlay and their cohorts. They have demonstrated their considerable acting chops, and they DESERVE a movie.
If it's not too instrumental, I'd like to see something from City of Lost Children soundtrack (I guess the only "song" as such is Marianne Faithfull (old) doing "Who Will Take My Dreams Away."
@@jfsabl Haven't heard anything from her in a long time. Not real familiar with the song but like you if it's not too instrumental I wouldn't complain about these guys doing their thing to it.
We need more Mykal Kilgore's appearences on VoicePlay's videos! And more of Eli's breathtaking voice in solos... ...and more flaming-hot villains from Geoff!!!
Do you know there's a word that describes something or someone that resembles a lion? That word is "leonine", and if you looked that word up in the dictionary, I think you'd find a picture of Geoff from this video 😄
Geoff for President and Voice Play for his Cabinet (and V.P.) The worold would be so happy, entertained (in a good way), and how can you NOT LOVE this amazing group. Well, at least we have them to calm us down from all the crazy, negative news that bombards us daily. Thanks guys...as my son would say - You Rock!
I listen to it from Japan 🇯🇵 I like it and I didn’t know a man who sings low key can sing by high key!!! I moved!!! I wish you could understand what I wanna say
How music can transform people from extremely nice to terrifyingly mean.And NO, I'm not ready, and there's no need to warn me, because your talent shocks me every time
I was not prepared. These acapella creatures do not miss, Mr. Geoff is a BEAST! VoicePlay continues to top themselves and we love it, the ear candy is so delicious and sweet. THANK YOU, THANK YOU for your talent and the ability to bring joy.
2:58 I noticed that this song ended the exact same way the Oogie Boogie song ended. With the guys being silhouetted with a red light as they laugh evilly. Nice Easter egg guys!
It's also interesting when you compare it to the original movie. In that version, Scar violently grabs the hyena who asked the question when he says that line, and the hyena is grimacing in pain. Here the interaction is genuinely cute and makes you feel like they have an actually affectionate dynamic (even if "Scar" still thinks they're idiots). It's an interesting contrast.
Не могу успокоится,пересматриваю и пересматриваю,как же мне нравиться это,и вокал,и артистизм и музыка,все великолепно!Аплодирую стоя!Ещё одна песня,заслуженно попадает в мой плейлист.Вы убиваете меня своим талантом.Очень люблю все красивое и стоющее,Браво!
I love the mixture of voices And the beat boxing is just!!!👌 I grew up with this movie and this song is my most favorite out of the movie! And I was very happy to see that you guys did it! Keep it up!!❤❤❤
I am so excited for this I can’t even!!! Mykal Kilgore, an early member of Voiceplay, and we get to hear them all together!!! YAY! Edit after watching: DANG, Geoff! That’s some superstar-level performance right there-vocals, acting, the entire wonderful package! (Awesome arrangement by Layne, too!) Everybody just killed it and I loved hearing Mykal with you all! More, please!
Everyone sounds so good! Geoff with his brilliant lower notes but then goes into an incredible mix. I've seen Mykal off broadway and his voice is amazing live. He has such power and a huge range. This was wonderful. Well done.
Absolutely the best acting I've seen from VP as an ensemble - incomparable. I love the way Geoff fully embodied Scar - could not have been better. Scar is an over-the-top character, and Geoff met him there. Award for finesse to Layne, for his physical response to Scar grabbing his jacket and then throwing him back at 1:03 - Geoff only opened his hand, but Layne took that gesture and gave it lift as he fell back - a CLASSIC cartoon move. Not over the top, just other-worldly perfect. Sorry I didn't post my comment earlier, I've been thinking about it as I continued to watch replays, but just didn't get it done. This performance really does deserve ALL the praise. Everyone was perfect. Can't wait to hear more from Mykal!
I just can't stop watching this video. And whenever I see Geoff acting as Scar, I see the original Scar from the movie, the devilish grin, the gestures and everything 😰😁
Excellent performance. This is one of my favourites. Mykal was the perfect choice for being the leader of hyenas. Amazing vocals. Geoff personified Scar with menace. However, nothing would work without Layne and his mind-blowing beat boxing. Congratulations 🎉
@@bethjeans3780 lol I’m pretty sure that was just a sample sound effect because he does use those on occasion. Maybe we can confirm it on a web chat soon 😅
I think it was an effect, but I could definitely believe Geoff could do it. The man is so talented, I could be told he can fly, and I'd just be like, "That figures." 😅
The Lion King is my favorite movie of all time. You all have the nerve to do a cover of Be Prepared?! Well....let me tell you something VoicePlay......THIS WAS FREAKING AWESOME!!!!!! Well done!
Geoff did put a little growl in his performance! Something he talked about in Peter barber's interview he is in awe when he he hears other singers doing it!
I will suppose that Layne is a hyena too (like Cesar is Ed, Eli is Banzai and Mykal is Shenzi) but one that we doesn't know in the movie. So for his hyena name I propose three names. Mdundo, Mcheshi or Karoti. It means respectively Sound, Jokester or Carrot.
The talent! The chemistry! The acting! The harmonies! The camera work, costumes, makeup and effects! A cinematic masterpiece! You guys never fail to impress and blow us away! Thank you and keep up the amazing work!
You are undisputed the kings of A capella! Respect for what you've done with this song. I salute your creativity! No wonder you are the best. And thank you for the nice birthday gift.
I always wanted VoicePlay to revisit this one since I heard it on the album and boy am I 🤯. For a bunch of goofy dorks and really nice folks, Voiceplay does evil a little too well ! Everyone’s singing AND acting is on point. Layne’s arrangement is on point! Mykal needs to come back soon for another one ! I don’t know who or what Geoff channels for these villainous performances but I have to remind myself that he ACTUALLY is a good guy 😳 and not the morally grey character that he so well portrays! KUDOS guys, this is 🔥 per usual !
I heard this song performed by this band 12 years ago. It was a fragment and I really wanted to listen to this song in its full version. Today I waited for this moment. I feel like Sirius Black. I don't know if I should run around the room shouting "Hooray!" or "I've been waiting for this for 12 years! IN AZKABAN!"
Oh Geoff, you'd be frightfully (or maybe delightfully?) scary if one encountered you in a dark alley in this particular persona! If I wasn't so certain of your adorable goofiness, this could have been TOO scary! I loved this one, guys! Again, I am NEVER disappointed. How often can I extoll your astonishing musical chops. Every last one of you are my favorite! This was too fun!
After tenacity spanning decades of denial, our requests have finally been heard, and we get to see the wonder of this greatest of villain covers! Also, Geoff once again being able to convince us he has fangs just by how he holds his mouth is everything 🤣
Absolute best cover of this song, hands down. Not only a fun portrayal of the characters made personal to your tastes, but also lovely makeup, beautiful harmonies/percussion and those bass notes (always a favorite) really add to the villain vibe.
So I’ve discovered Voiceplay like 3 weeks ago (and have been listening to them without break ever since) and I was disappointed that they hadn’t done Be Prepared. So this fits perfectly! Love it! ❤
I thought Voctave did an incredibly good job with Kurt von Schmittou as Scar*, but HELLLLLO, Voiceplay, you guys took it to a whole ‘nother level. Time to get Geoff that 👑!
I have been waiting for this one! It's been my number one ask. It was all outstanding and I loved seeing Mykal again. Gotta say, that nose boop just made it. LOL
Oh, the talent in the room!! Geoff’s roar was intimidating, and he had some really menacing looks. Layne looked scared, but the other three seemed a little clueless. The lows were controlled and the highs were spectacular!! The whole thing was awesome 😮 I’m prepared for more! 🎶 Cyd
Ahead of all the other "you are NOT prepared jokes", can I just say how much I'm in awe that Geoff has perfected his ability to play a Disney Villain? I can't help wonder what VoicePlay is going to do when they run out of Disney Villain roles for Geoff to play?
He could just write a new one! 😉
@@felicitymcdonald24 true...
We can hope 🤞
There are still a lot of non-Disney baddies to explore too.
@@barbarakennedy2667 Heck yeah. i sure want a Geoff Rasputin! Or a Voiceplay rendition of Toxic Love of Ferngully. Hexxus not really deepest voice and always the swag, so this is more for J. None. Same for Drake´s Don't Make Me Laugh of the Pebble and The Penguin.
So many songs to do still. I´m thinking of the tv series as well. i mean friggin Tim Curry did an evil lullaby for a one episode villain named the Manta Ray who is early design Ursula redone in masculine form. Only 1.30 minutes so I guess for a Halloween short?
For those who do not know:
Mykal Kilgore was one of orginal members of Voiceplay along with Geoff, Layne, Scott and Earl.
We only saw him in "Just sing".
It's great to see him singing with you guys!
Informational information right there
Scott joined after.
That's so cool!
We weren’t prepared for that
I remember Tony and Earl (I think that was his name) but I forgot Mykal was one of the OGs! 😅
Thank you all so much for the love! It was a real gift to be able to come back to my high school friends and make music together again!
Way before I got to do Broadway, PMJ, NBC Live Musicals, and before being Grammy nominated for my debut album I was in “4 The Love,” the first iteration of this group. It’s a gift to given a hero’s welcome!
You were so incredible in this, Mykal!! I hope we get to hear more from you soon!
You were (are) amazing.
So glad you were able to do this.
Can't wait for the next one.❤
You are really incredible and your voice is absolutely gorgeous ! I hope we can see you for other projects with the boys!
Please come back and do more, Mykal, your voice is just spectacular! 🥰
You were amazing Mykal!
I had so much fun!
Cesar should not be allowed to be that adorable when playing a brainless villain. The jumps and breaks in his voice in this one were just so controlled and impressive. Also the nose tap was the cutest thing!!
I absolutely adore Cesar and his voice! 😊
same here!!!@@amioffenbacher4835
Cesar is adorable no matter what he's playing. It's something he just can't help.
Cesar is just adorable... end of. He has the sweetest voice, and facial expressions. 😊
And the giggles in this one. Plus, who can forget his killer can can skills.
I didn't know I needed Geoff saying "Just listen to teacher" in my life till now. Lol
Yeah, that soft growl in "teacher" is just perfect.
We all did and didn’t know!
I don't know if I'll recover from that.
New kink acquired. XD
And all that cuteness of Cesar's smile that followed. I am DYING
I'm not usually a big fan of monarchies, but Geoff was obviously born for this role. Long live the king!
😂😂😂😂😂 OMG NO! NOT THE SUBTITLES CALLING THAT LIONS ROAR "MEOW"
I CANNOT WAIT, AIR, I CAN'T BREATHE FROM LAUGHTER
That's amazing 😂
I'm still laughing 😂Omg😂
more proof that it's good to have captions on when in VP or Geoff vids.
😂😂😂 I had to rewind because I laughed so hard, that I nearly missed the rest 🫣🙈
I forgot subtitles...guess that means I just have to watch it again ...what a shame 😂
The subtitles when Geoff roars saying “meow” killed me! HAHAHAHAHA i listened to this song about 20 times this morning on spotify and even that doesn’t prepared me for this. I just wish that when the hyenas sings “ la la la” the boys would be shaking and dancing like the movie, would’ve been hilarious! Ceasar was perfect as Ed! Hahahahahaha
The way Layne just keeps beatboxing while Geoff grabs his coat is just dedication 😂
He's beatboxing in fear.
@@ElizabethEinspanier this song is so damn good
Layne is always so good.
Scar has no BUSINESS sounding this cool! If this was how the song was done in the movie, everyone would have agreed that HE should be king!!
You ain't lying 😂.
Geoff does have a way of making villains sympathetic😁
True
i mean, Jeremy Irons voiced Scar, he had EVERY right to sound this cool
Alright, Geoff. You convinced me. You can be king.
Long live the king!
Who's the most adorable hyena, and why is it Cesar? 😊 ❤️
Because 'Adorable' and 'Cesar' actually two words that mean the same thing? And somehow your line reminds me of asking my dog' who's the best doggie ever?'
Maybe it's because he's resisting the urge to samba the entire song?
Because Cesar is always adorable!
If anyone ever asks me, I'll tell them that THIS is the live action of Disney's The Lion King.
VoicePlay doing what VoicePlay does best. This is just so well done and Mykal was a fantastic addition to this. What a voice 😍
This, 100%.
I would watch it soooooo often...
Honestly, if someone would cut this into the live action movie right where the song should have been, I'd be 100% more inclined to watch it!
@@WelcomeApathyI’m still annoyed this song isn’t in the live action version. I wish I hadn’t watched it to be honest.
I knew I wasn’t prepared!!!! Yall BODIED dis fam!!!!!!!!
As if you didn't do an equally worthy short ❤😊
❤
I’d be “Lion” if I said this wasn’t awesome. Voiceplay should take “Pride” in this masterpiece.
This is fantastic! Eli's voice is awesome, Layne's beatboxing and crazy eyes is fantastic, Mykal's high notes are incredible, Cesar is adorable, and why is bad guy Geoff so dang hot? This song is such a bop!
PAY ATTENTION! Spooky VoicePlay season is officially open! 🎃👻🦇🦁🕷🕸
I am prepared for it every year ;)
The best time of year 😂
We will be prepared
I started preparing for this season in November. There is only Halloween and Halloween prep.
My favorite version of Voiceplay
2:48 Is a prime example of how INSANE his low notes can be..
Sliding from an A2? into an A1 and gains SO MUCH POWER in his voice when he hits the A1
The multi-octave drop at 2:16 is insane as well.
@TrishaFreitag ik but the slide really showcases the difference from his 2nd octave chest notes to his first
LOW NOTE LIST:
0:18 - A1 Chest
0:23 - A1 Chest
0:39 - *E1 Subharmonics*
1:08 - *A1 Chest* [Absolutely thick]
2:33 - A1 Chest
2:40 - E1 Subharmonics
2:51 - A1 Chest
Geoff's HIGHS:
1:05 - C4 Chest
2:02 - E4 Chest
2:25 - G4 Chest
2:28 - *A4 Chest* SICK
___________________________
I remember Geoff saying he wasn't getting to sing highs enough... I guess that was taken into account...
I think there is a sub at 2:40
@@CameroniFrigs Right, didn't wear headphones for this one
Thanks for compiling this!
@@rtsbass7829 thank you 😀
Geoff sang the tenor B4 in "Oogie boogie song". He also sang this note in the "You're a mean one Mr. Grinch" and in the "Peaches". He also sang D5 and E5 in other songs. I do not know if it was a full voice or a mixed voice, but singing such high notes for a bass is incredible. He's just very humble and he even said that he doesn't consider himself a true bass.
Layne killed it with this arrangement!!
Here are all the things I was NOT prepared for!
1. Geoff’s first lower note on “pride”, not where I thought it was going! Which is hilarious cause I should know better by now!!!😂
2.Mykal’s beautiful high notes!
3. Cesar’s perfect jumps and “voice cracks”!
4. Geoff’s expression at 2:05!!! He’s perfected acting the part of the Disney Villain!
And then the genius arrangement! Brilliant beatboxing from Layne! Gorgeous vocals from Eli!
THANK YOU for this masterpiece!!!❤
Layne adds so much to these songs. Geoff is Geoff which of course means awesome and everyone else rounds it out perfectly.
毎年VoicePlayのハロウィン曲を楽しみにしてるので
こんなに日本のファンがいるなんてとても嬉しいです
Wait till you hear the actual Halloween release coming...... 😮😊
I just love the way VoicePlay stayed friends with artists they have known and worked with since middle school. They're truly Good People ❤️
What a masterpiece!!!
It's a good thing Geoff is a good guy in the real world, 'cause if he was a bad guy, way too many people would be following him and we would be in trouble 😅
Good job guys!!
This is going in top 5 of songs you've done. Geoff nailed it as Scar. Mykal is a great singer and hope to see more singles featuring him.
Nice little rap to take place of the speaking part. Great work!
Maaaaaaan the part where Geoff was singing “respected saluted, AND SEEEEEEN FOR THE WONDER I AAAM.”
I can’t remember a time where I’ve had chills drug out of me like that on the first time I hear a song. Bravo to this entire rendition of this song!

Okay, we need to write an actual movie (with lots and lots of songs) for VoicePlay and their cohorts. They have demonstrated their considerable acting chops, and they DESERVE a movie.
I've been wishing for that since the first time I saw/heard them sing and act. How do we get them to do it?
If it's not too instrumental, I'd like to see something from City of Lost Children soundtrack (I guess the only "song" as such is Marianne Faithfull (old) doing "Who Will Take My Dreams Away."

@@Jessica1608 Yes!! This! I was thinking that same exact thought! ❤️
Hellfire, and now this?! Geoff's in his villain era and I'm here for it ❤
Wow. Geoff makes the best villain. Someone get him a movie.
Eli's work on lighting is so good! It is as Vital to the video as costumes or props ❤️
And the effects! Those green fog geysers seem new?
After watching a few times more I’m even more impressed with how Eli mixed the red and green without muddying the colors. Not an easy feat.
We need more Mykal Kilgore's appearences on VoicePlay's videos!
And more of Eli's breathtaking voice in solos...
...and more flaming-hot villains from Geoff!!!
Do you know there's a word that describes something or someone that resembles a lion? That word is "leonine", and if you looked that word up in the dictionary, I think you'd find a picture of Geoff from this video 😄
This is an interesting factoid, and I appreciate you sharing it

The only problem with that line in the Future Tense. Pretty sure Geoff is already adored by all who hear him 'roar'

For a bunch of goofy dorks and really nice folks, Voiceplay does evil a little too well !
Everyone’s singing AND acting is on point. Layne’s arrangement is on point! Mykal needs to come back soon for another one !
I don’t know who or what Geoff channels for these villainous performances but I have to remind myself that he ACTUALLY is a good guy 😳 and not the morally grey character that he so well portrays! KUDOS guys, this is 🔥 per usual !
最高です！いつかこの歌を歌ってくれないかと願っていました 本当にありがとうございます！
-It's the best! I was hoping that you would sing this song someday. I'm so happy!
Geoff can roar at me all he likes... 💓
You are ALL kings, though ... kings of our hearts.
At this point Disney just needs to hire Geoff to play a villain
I heard this song performed by this band 12 years ago. It was a fragment and I really wanted to listen to this song in its full version. Today I waited for this moment. I feel like Sirius Black. I don't know if I should run around the room shouting "Hooray!" or "I've been waiting for this for 12 years! IN AZKABAN!"
1:30 "Idiots! I'll be the king" that sounds do badass and powerful!
Oh Geoff, you'd be frightfully (or maybe delightfully?) scary if one encountered you in a dark alley in this particular persona! If I wasn't so certain of your adorable goofiness, this could have been TOO scary! I loved this one, guys! Again, I am NEVER disappointed. How often can I extoll your astonishing musical chops. Every last one of you are my favorite! This was too fun!
A fun fact:
When Mykal Kilgore was in Voiceplay he was Tenor 1 and Earl was Tenor 2.
Like countertenor or different subtype of tenor
And Eli wasn't in the group yet.
@@karenponchak5304 And he had hair on his head
It's like, when the tenor 1 leaves all subsequent tenors literally move up
@@MarieDesJardin : 😆
The you won't get a sniff without me line was everything I was hoping it would be.
After tenacity spanning decades of denial, our requests have finally been heard, and we get to see the wonder of this greatest of villain covers!
Also, Geoff once again being able to convince us he has fangs just by how he holds his mouth is everything 🤣
Absolute best cover of this song, hands down. Not only a fun portrayal of the characters made personal to your tastes, but also lovely makeup, beautiful harmonies/percussion and those bass notes (always a favorite) really add to the villain vibe.
This is definitely up there for the best, but it's a hard choice for me between this version and the one The Bass Gang did.
@@FriedBob Thanks for mentioning this - I hadn't seen that version. They are both great in their own ways, for sure!
I had no idea this song needed a rap section but you made it work so well
I loved the little Cesar boop that Geoff did. My heart stopped for a minute there.❤❤❤❤❤
Cesar's probably did too. 😂
I love Eli in this video! All of his lines were phenomenal!
So I’ve discovered Voiceplay like 3 weeks ago (and have been listening to them without break ever since) and I was disappointed that they hadn’t done Be Prepared. So this fits perfectly! Love it! ❤
They did a snip of it in their ACA Top 10 Disney Villians Medley and fans have been begging for a full version ever since! 😅
@@thisismetoday7423 yeah I saw it! It’s a great medley, but nothing beats having a dedicated video for all the songs!
Thank you, Patreon, for helping VoicePlay entertain us so much. I can't wait for this.
They sing so well together. Wonderful.
I thought Voctave did an incredibly good job with Kurt von Schmittou as Scar*, but HELLLLLO, Voiceplay, you guys took it to a whole ‘nother level. Time to get Geoff that 👑!
Geoff should unleash the inner villain in his voice more often. That's incredible. Love it.
Layne absolutely slayed this whole arrangement! Everyone sounded phenomenal!
We so love you!😁 D&D and nerd stuff loving beautiful people. You continue to make us proud to be your fans.
I have been waiting for this one! It's been my number one ask. It was all outstanding and I loved seeing Mykal again. Gotta say, that nose boop just made it. LOL
This is the greatest thing I have ever heard. I am so happy right now.
It's great to see Mykal team up with the group, so many years later (ignoring his cameo in "Sing"). Shivers!
Aw...don't ignore it, his voice is just so wonderful! (I know what you meant, but ignoring just hit me harsh 🙂)
Oh, the talent in the room!! Geoff’s roar was intimidating, and he had some really menacing looks. Layne looked scared, but the other three seemed a little clueless. The lows were controlled and the highs were spectacular!! The whole thing was awesome 😮 I’m prepared for more! 🎶 Cyd
I was prepared for a perfect cover and I was NOT disappointed.
What in the actual f... .? 🤯 I can't wait for the reactions on this... 10/10 as always @Voiceplay
Love this and Geoff as Scar is just cool. Layne with his funny face again 😂
That rap in the middle was incredible
