The moment you sat back and tried to process during the violin solo had me cackling. Personally I screamed at my phone like Layne could hear me. 😂 Yes! More VoicePlay back catalog!
This was arranged by Geoff. He started this back in August. They were planning on releasing this one for their October collaboration. J. None was scheduled to have leave from the Navy but was changed at the last minute. They did try getting some other collaborators but nothing was working. So they put it on hold until December. Everyone is loving having Layne bring out his violin again since Warriors. It fits the song so well. Great reaction!
@@bjspeck4337 yes it absolutely did. Geoff did say that Layne had done the guitar solo and it was great but at the last minute like a day or 2 before, he asked Layne if he thought the violin could be used for the solo. The rest is history.
I missed the metal era but this is outstanding. What a beautiful piece of music. I really like hearing Eli singing in a lower register, then passing it off to J. And not many reactors have commented on Layne’s singing. Geoff is carrying the bass line through the whole first part and Layne’s doesn’t start beatboxing until Geoff starts to sing. And then Violayne! I know I’m not alone in letting out a scream the first time I saw that, and I still have a huge grin on my face every time I see it. (Especially during reactions when I get to see someone else’s astonishment😂)!🎉
Its been fun watching all the reactors break to this song. I broke the first time I heard it too, and I had never even heard this song before (not a metal fan). VioLayne was the icing that finished this off perfectly but Geoff outdid himself with this arrangement and deserves a Grammy.
I had the same reaction to Metallica - oh well it's VoicePlay - it'll be good. NO! It was superb. This morning I got my Echo unit to find the Metallica version to compare. I'll take VoicePlay - took my breath away.
HomeFree and Pentatonix have used instruments in a few of their arrangements as well. Sometimes, 1 🎻can make all of the difference. This was a masterpiece by Geoff. Great job to all of them.
This is one of Geoff’s best arrangements, no doubt. I love it when they tackle this harder stuff, Eli’s voice lends itself so well to it, and of course all of the guys sound great!
I hope Layne is keeping a score card for all the reactors he's clobbered with that stealth violin solo! XD We're all right there with you, man, this was just incredible. ETA: I don't know whether the guys have said one way or the other, but I'm betting they went with all black everything in tribute to Metallica's iconic 'Black Album,' which included this song.
If it makes you feel any better, Qofy just took off his earphones and walked off the set. NOTHING TO SAY. LOL. I noticed Eli straightening his jacket as well. Genius move-if you have a solo coming up, do something like that to draw the eye to you so the audience doesn’t miss a note! #ProTip I love Cesar’s harmonies in this, but I am a little bummed he didn’t get more of a solo. I love his voice (don’t get me wrong-I love all their voices). I love acapella, but I’d be perfectly happy if VioLayne joined us more often. LOL. I’m sure someone’s told you by now Geoff did this arrangement. This is so wonderful-I’d say it’s my favorite by these guys but I say it every time. Great reaction!!
I really think they're going to kill me off this year. I've been speechless with them before, but this time I couldn't get my breath. This is........just wow. VoiLayne is always impressive and his beatboxing is always on point, but when you add in Geoff doing the bass guitar lines it just adds such depth to the whole thing. Eli and his rock god voice was a great choice for lead and J and Cesar holding those amazing harmonies. Perfection. Yep. Gonna kill me this year.
First one of your videos I have seen of yours but I immediately subscribe a pure passion and love for music was written all over your face! They broke me too on this one!!!
It will BLOW YOUR MIND!!!!!!!! Yep, it blew your mind!!!!!!!!😂. Thanks Lowell. Best wishes from the USA! 😊❤. Someone in another chat said… Metalica reaction: Nothing Else Matters! I said: ironic iconic!!! 😂 With flying violins!!!!!!!!!!
VoicePlay keeps upping their game each time, I really think we are in danger of our favorite reactors being left catatonic. So many have been left speechless, including someone you know quite well. lol Thanks for the reaction, loved it!!
Everyone who loves this (and who doesn't?) needs to go to the Voiceplay channel and view it completely there and like it. We fans want the world to know how awesome this is! This isn't a song that gets old after hearing it 2 or 3 times. It gets better with every listen!
I absolutely love this cover! I figured they wouldn’t disappoint, but I was taken aback, especially when all 5 voices came in with those harmonies. Then Layne shocked me with that violin, which was epic! I kind of wish Cesar would have had a little bit longer solo, but the line he sang gave me chills. I will say that I wasn’t surprised you watched it twice! lol There was so much going on in parts, it’s necessary.
Loved having J.None back! Loved hearing that rock scream right before Layne brought out the violin highlight. This whole song is just full of amazingness! Wish we could have heard a bit more from Cesar, though.
JNone told in an interview with Qofy that it was Eli who got him into VP. They had been working together casually before then. Have had this on daily since Patreon release. Stunning.
Thanks for your reaction and Happy New Year! I don't think you have reacted to Voice Play's "Warriors" yet but both Layne and J None play violins in that one and you would love it (Layne beatboxes while playing violin in that one- just amazing!)
That awkward moment when I realized I'd watched a bunch of your reactions and didn't realize I wasn't subscribed because I just naturally see you on my page to watch XD. Don't worry I rectified that problem.
Yeah VioLayne brought everyone to their knees. This is a frigging masterpiece. I could have liked a little more Eli and his incredible rock voice, but still a masterpiece
This one is leaving people speechless, more or less. And no wonder. It's a Geoff arrangement by the way. I believe they have another one with DeeJay Young in the pipline too. Ye gods, people still calling Geoff "Tim" LOL Think G1 Geoff, The Bassmaster 3000, Mr Bass-alicious. But not Tim. :)
I was concerned enough when I saw VP was going to cover 'Dream On', and it was great. Even more sceptical when I saw VoicePlay & Metallica in the same sentence but boy, this is a testament to Geoffs amazing talent for arranging, and all the guys vocal talents, because this is bloody awesome! Glad you managed to compose yourself in the end, great reaction, thanks Lyle! 🎶🎻😊👍
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 agree with you, it’s great, and everything they do is golden! I’m looking forward to more VoicePlay! I agree with the recommendations for “Warriors” for some more violin from J None and Layne! Please, also check out their “Waving through a window” (from the musical Dear Evan Hansen), a collab with Kurt Hugo Schneider. It has only Eli on lead, but is amazing!!
He reacted to Warriors a little over 2 years ago. Thank you for the recommendation. Here's the link we hope you enjoy the reaction 😊 th-cam.com/video/A1lMdqhbGuU/w-d-xo.html
Yet another reacter left in the ditch. VoicePlay have left quite a few bodies in their wake with this one 😂 Great reaction as always, thank you for sharing it with us
Don't feel bad....Qofy got up, completely in shock.....didn't utter a sound......and his reaction was over......every reactor has had their own 'jaw dropping' moment when Layne started playing the violin.....he last did it on their cover of 'Warriors'.....check it out......>^^
He did Warriors a little over 2 years ago. Thank you for the recommendation. Here's the link to the reaction we hope you enjoy it 😊 th-cam.com/video/A1lMdqhbGuU/w-d-xo.html
I understand your surprise. Very good recovery and response. Always surprising when they pull out the violin. Eli really sounds like James Hetfield on this too. Perfect for his song. I just read that he didn't intend to actually release it either but his band mates talked him into it.
And VioLayne breaks another reactor. All of you that I've watched so far has the same reaction when Layne brings out the violin. Shock. After a few I said " blink blink" I saw your eyes move so was relieved you were still with us😉
I am too old to have listened to Metallica, but it didn't matter. I've been watching this video on Patreon for two weeks. There hasn't been one time that it didn't make me stop breathing. I did go and watch the original for reference. Voiceplay can do anything, I'm convinced. They did Aerosmith, and that was wonderful! This is 472 notches up from that! This was supposed to be their Halloween release last year, but J's leave was cancelled. Be sure to react to their cover of Warriors, also violins.

I heard or read somewhere (maybe one of the boys said it in a video) that Eli was in a Metallica cover band which I think is why they let him lead most of this song
This song is in it's origin and basics is a true masterpiece, and while it is a Metallica song, it is much bigger than Metallica. There is a reason why it's been covered by symphony orchestras all over the world, the complexity is there. This right here, though, this goes beyond any other version I have ever heard, and there are some magnificent and powerful versions out there. The only thing I don't really like is Geoff feeling the need to go growly on and off. It's cool, sure, but it distracts and isn't necessary. Other than that, absolutely brilliant! Great reaction! Your amazement was moving.
Nothing to say during the vid, only Awed... Boy do I understand! They've come a long way since Warriors lol. Phantom of the Opera is a good one with Potter. You would think after they did Dream On, ppl would expect them to up their game lol I saw it and was like "oh yeah, this is going to be awesome!
Voiceplay isn't my top acapella group, that will always be Home Free, but this is excellent. And the reason is because they are using their voices not theatrics like they usually do. I have no problem with there being a violin. Well done guys this was excellent.
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
If you don't think Eli was the one that was going to take the lead, you need to learn more about Voiceplay. Eli is a rock tenor so this song is perfect for him!
We're Good, Attention w/Rachel Potter, It Ain't Me w/ John Pinto, Jr. should give you 3 that you might not have done but that I think are really excellent. If you want to listen to this again, I'll sit with you.

The violin added so much to the crescendo, then fell back to the end. That worked so well.
Im glad they waited for J. None! This is so awesome! 💖

Pick any voiceplay randomly and you can't go wrong. They are so incredible.
This one is right up there with their take on " Dream On " for me. What can't they do ?? The arrangement is EPIC 🤯🤯
This is one of Geoff’s best arrangements, no doubt. I love it when they tackle this harder stuff, Eli’s voice lends itself so well to it, and of course all of the guys sound great!
Don't think I've seen lyle so speechless before 😂. This cover is just breaking every reactor one by one and I'm here for it. Awesome reaction 😁🤩
He has been a few times but not many. 🙂🙂
I hope Layne is keeping a score card for all the reactors he's clobbered with that stealth violin solo! XD We're all right there with you, man, this was just incredible.

Exactly! I couldn't speak, I could barely breathe! My mind surely wasn't processing anything just purely enjoying and getting lost in music!

Whoo!
Yeah, this one pretty much broke everyone for a bit. 😂 It's incredible! VoicePlay continues to raise that bar!
Loved having J.None back! Loved hearing that rock scream right before Layne brought out the violin highlight. This whole song is just full of amazingness! Wish we could have heard a bit more from Cesar, though.
Thank you. I love your reaction. I love that VP overlooks no details. Even Laynes' violin is black. It's all so beautiful!
JNone told in an interview with Qofy that it was Eli who got him into VP. They had been working together casually before then.
Have had this on daily since Patreon release. Stunning.
Eli was on a rock band in a former time. He brings that great rock sound to Voiceplay!

Here's the link to Warriors. He did it in Sept of 2020. th-cam.com/video/A1lMdqhbGuU/w-d-xo.html
As I say: Just when you think you’re done, bring in the violin!! And je had some Nice bow technics. Lookin Good Lane 😎👍
That awkward moment when I realized I'd watched a bunch of your reactions and didn't realize I wasn't subscribed because I just naturally see you on my page to watch XD. Don't worry I rectified that problem.
Lol, thank you.
Both VoicePlay and Home Free started 2023 off marvelously! And on a Friday the 13th too.
Hehe, I noticed Eli straightening his jacket too - and immediately thought "Oooooh okay, stuff's about to go down then!"
I had no idea this song needed a violin. That was a nice surprise.
They are just Amazing. They nailed it though they changed it.Thanks for the reaction 🎉🙏
Yeah VioLayne brought everyone to their knees. This is a frigging masterpiece. I could have liked a little more Eli and his incredible rock voice, but still a masterpiece
That's everyone's first reaction - stunned silence!
