The band Chicago saw this video and invited Voiceplay to join them in their concert last November. There are clips from the performance floating around TH-cam.
She loves Metallica? , she has good taste. LOL Seen then on multiple tours, always a great show. VoicePlay did an awesome version, glad you introduced it to her.
One thing VoicePlay always tries to do is make sure that their "featured artist" really does have a truly featured role in their production. They made sure to "leave room" for J. None in this song, and he did a marvelous job! While Eli has done a few arrangements (and is planning on stepping up in that department), Geoff and Layne have split the vast majority of song arrangement between them for years. This is Geoff's arrangement, and he has a video on his solo channel telling how he arranges songs for VoicePlay. It's definitely worth a look if you're interested - and it's completely hilarious, so it's worth a look even if you don't care!
Love your reactions with Phoenix- thanks! I think Phoenix might also enjoy Voice Play's cover of "Whiskey In The Jar", an old Irish folk song that has been covered as a rock song by 'Thin Lizzy' and 'Metallica'. For more J None rapping she would love "Valhalla Calling".
Cool to have a Mini Realistic on the channel! I wasn't sure if she was enjoying it, because her face was kind of stoic through most of it, but glad to see at the end how much she did indeed enjoy it. If she likes Geoff, she would definitely love Oogie Boogie's Song!
Glad to see your daughter again. Can't wait to see y her reaction - I know your's. Geoff dropped a new one on Friday - Big Iron. This project was Geoff's responsibility which means he did the arrangement, the staging (Eli does the lighting), video, assigns camera work, and more. He sends out the parts each person will be singing, they get back with him if the want to do something a bit different. He originally wrote a "guitar solo" but in the end asked Layne to do his violin. Stunning stuff here. They've been doing this kind of stuff since high school and originally the group was known as 4:2:Five since they went from 4 members to 5 back in 1997. In 2010, Eli joined the group (Geoff, Layne, Earl were original members. Earl left for personal reasons in 2020, but he's done a lot and one of his best is Queen in 5 Minutes.) Tony Wakim (VP baritone) until he wanted to get into productions and he and Layne bought Pattycake Productions studio. See him in Phantom of the Opera along with Rachel Potter.
My granddaughter bought a pair of skullcandy headphones and let me listen to this ,my head was vibrating ,granted the headphones were on bass mode but Jesus Geoff that bass .
🤣 Are they over the ear headphones? I have to say, when I use my cheap-o in the ear headphones for my phone, it's not nearly as amazing as the more expensive headphones we use for reactions! Anyone not using headphones at all won't get that same experience!
Geoff arranged this piece and it’s truly amazing. Looking forward to see what you pick next! Have you seen Encanto? Their cover of We Don’t Talk About Bruno is fantastic and a fun bit for a laugh. 😂
The "theatre Kids" have so so many great songs you could share with Phoenix but she will probably be in College by then.. Thanks Mrs. R (great mom) for sharing so much great music with your daughter that is not on MSM....seems these days that most of the artists and great music resides here on YT, even though they are a pain in the arse for most of you reactors. Cheers, enjoying what you are doing.
Because you don't need more reasons to love Geoff, but he also arranged this one. Metallica and voiceplay both covered the 1600s folk song Whiskey in the Jar. And if phoenix likes j none rapping, Valhalla calling is a must, plus Geoff hits his lowest notes he can do and holds them for up to 15 seconds. For super smooth harmonies and vocal runs voiceplay covered Tennessee Whiskey w j none too.
Wow, I like this Metallica song, one of the best rock ballads of all time. I like it a lot, well not as much as Phoenix, but quite a bit 😉☺️. I never would have imagined that it sounded so well by an acapella group and I also liked the violin touch. By the way, purpose accomplished, Phoenix had a surprised face. Thanks again, cheers 👏✌️
🦍 .. I have lost count of how many times I have watched this Voiceplay video .. but , it never disappoints. I was more than happy to watch it again with the dynamic duo from Texas. It was especially fun knowing it was a first time for Phoenix. The violin surprise is so bad ass , and Mini Realistic really seemed to like it. Good one ladies !!!!!! 🎧⚔️🎧
Mrs. Realistic, well it looks like Phoenix is really RISING to the occasion of these reactions!! Get it? Phoenix Rising? err... I'll show myself out lol
Funnily enough, her TH-cam channel is called Phoenix Rising. 🤣 Eventually, she'll be doing reactions on her own channel... but she says she wants to change the name 😆
And now on to their Disney medleys. And Grim Grinning Ghosts, and Ghost Riders In the Sky, and Hall of the Mountain King, Grinch, and... well, you get the picture, this is just the tip of the iceberg really. I think Mini Realistic would like Geoff's Headless Horseman, Monster Mash, and Blue Christmas, as well 😁
Thank you so much for doing this with Phoenix! And wow! I didn't realize that this was the first song you'd seen! This is definitely my most beloved song by them. For many reasons.
@@CaraK-bw6bs This is the first one I did on my own... and I'm glad it was my introduction to them! Then I had so many say I had to do it with Phoenix as well!
Didn't expect to enjoy this so much. I like this better than anything I've heard from those Home Free gents and not just saying that because I'm a big Metallica fan too. My man on bass didn't have to go that low on a couple notes tho. He was just showing off! 😂🤙 Cool performance thanks for sharing 🙏
YOU HAVE TO DO VALHALLA CALLING!! Errm, sorry. **Ahem** my bad. Would you please do Valhalla Calling? Birdie will FAINT! Gah, sorry again, I just get _so excited_ where that song is concerned... It's epic. Loving these mother-daughtet reactions, btw!😊💙
Aaaaaaannnd Mini-Realistic was correctly impressed!!! How can anyone who loves Metallica *not* be??? I’m still waiting to hear what James, Lars, and the boys think of this! Does anyone know if they’ve heard & commented on it?
@@MrsRealisticI really think they’d love it too! There’s precedent for them reacting and commenting. A “bagpiper chick” I follow - Ally the Piper - covered “Enter Sandman”. Some rude gatekeeper troll commented something to the effect of “bagpipes do NOT belong in metal, let alone Metallica. James would NOT approve!” James fired back on the same thread “He does not speak for us. We think you’re awesome. Keep doing what you do, it’s great!” (Needless to say Ally pinned that!)
Good evening mother & daughter. can we spice things up for your daughter with a request? Valhalla Calling - Miracle of Sound (acapella) VoicePlay ft J.NONE? this one is perhaps one of the all time favourites by them... South African love ❤
This is pretty amazing. Also if you've never heard of him, i'd suggest checking out Mass of Man! he has some amazing songs, Unhappy, Feeling low, Fallen angel to name a few!
Loved your reactions once again ❤ Also, to my knowledge (based comments I've read under other videos), Layne can beatbox and play the violin simultaneously, it just doesn't look that good on camera, that's why they only showed him just playing the violin during the solo.
Early (1 day, lol) I love watching your reactions & I lovee VoicePlay sm! They really never release a bad cover and their arrangements are always soooo good :D
You need to be introduced to country acapella. Check out Home Free sing Man Of Constant Sorrow. Geoff also does a great version. Both totally different. Edit: This was arranged by Geoff. If you check out the notes, you will see who arranged the piece. It's usually Geoff or Layne, but Eli is doing some now too.
I actually have covered Home Free AND Man of Constant Sorrow is probably one of my favorites of all time! They're fabulous! I have a Home Free Playlist 😁👍
Since you don´t have this in you´r Playlist, maybe you two want to reakt to Voiceplays Enemy. Since you love Geoffs Range, there you will gett a pretty good example of it I would say :)
Is it time to get Mini Realistic a proper chair? lol. All these acapella groups are quite talented. Sometimes it’s a good thing to get your head rattled (by music), helps a person to think about things differently. Tried finding you on Patreon, no luck. Is there a link?
@mjc1389 no, sorry, I haven't gotten to that point yet 😆 I have my PayPal link, but that's it. 🫣 And I think in my last video with her I mentioned how annoying her office chair was 🤣
Please pardon my verbosity, but I have a few things to say... I have truly enjoyed seeing your daughter reacting with you. One 'Realistic' is delightful, but two is even better! It seems as though there is still some uncertainty concerning Phoenix's title. I heard her call herself 'Mini Realistic', and comments have done the same. My love of words gives me some uncomfortability concerning 'mini'. Mini is a diminutive word, and, Phoenix, you are not diminutive. If I may, I would suggest something else; how about, 'Realistic, The Younger'? This was a title used in older times to delineate the lineage of Royalty. Phoenix, Mrs. Realistic is one of my favorite reactors ( and the number of favorites is small). You must now be added to that number. I appreciate the music that you two have introduced me to give a listen. And Geoff Castelluci is amazing, as are VoicePlay. Then, there is 'Nemophilia! I will definitely be looking into their music. Mrs. Realistic, you've mentioned that you grew up in the 70s. Did you ever hear of the band 'Fanny'? They are the first female instrumental group in the US. There are four members, guitar, bass, drums, and keyboards. They sing, whether lead vocals or background vocals and harmonies. They were excellent. The Warning, is, I believe, carrying the torch forward for them. Thank you for your time reading this.
What a lovely comment! Thank you! I guess the "mini" is since everyone says she's a "mini me" even tho I don't see it (she looks just like her dad when he was younger) but you're right, especially since she's taller than I am by about 4 inches 🤣 Oh and I've never heard of Fanny (I grew up in Canada tho, so maybe that's why?)
Has your daughter seen The Warning's covers of "Enter Sandman"? They would be great for you to co-review if she hasn't, including their 2014 cover when they were kids.
@@MrsRealistic I think my favorite of the two new versions is the live performance, but I like the OMV version that they co-wrote with Alessia. And Pau's recitation of the prayer is just creepy amazing.
If you haven't already shared Voiceplay's Valhalla Calling together...it's time!!
Yup. No spoilers! But there's a feature you'll particularly enjoy. ETA: Oops. Too late. Others have already given it away.
The band Chicago saw this video and invited Voiceplay to join them in their concert last November. There are clips from the performance floating around TH-cam.
@@BetsySchiller-sj2sm no way! That's so cool!
VoicePlay never disappoints no matter what they cover.
She loves Metallica? , she has good taste. LOL Seen then on multiple tours, always a great show. VoicePlay did an awesome version, glad you introduced it to her.
@@chriso6719 I wish I had been able to see them live! My best friend has seen Metallica a few times!

@acorrado5529 very cool! Yes it shocked me when j none rapped in Valhalla Calling!
This was worth sharing with yall again. I could listen to this over and over. Now if I could only get my son to sit down long enough to watch.
Oh it's a MUST! I hope he hears it! It's one of my favorites of all time!
I’ve said it before…. but I absolutely love both of you doing these reactions together!!! Sooo good!!!
@Daniel-uu9td aww thanks!
Who needs bass drums and guitar when you have a Geoff…
Amen to that!

You're probably right 🤣 Yes it can be a bit of a pain with blocked videos or copyright claims, but it's a wonderful way to be introduced to music!
