- In this reaction video, I'm reacting to VALHALLA CALLING by VOICEPLAY. This epic song is about a viking warrior who goes on a journey to find his true destiny. I absolutely love this song and I had a lot of fun filming this reaction video!
If you're a fan of epic songs, then you'll love this reaction video!

The AC wasn't working in the studio they filmed this in. So Florida heat/humidity plus furs. I appreciate what they put themselves through to create these masterpieces.
South Florida is Miami/ Fort Lauderdale area. They are in Orlando. Considered central Florida. Where Disney World is located.
But yes. AC was broken. But like the Vikings they are they forged on.
@@jackyfriedman1963 Don't think that was intended to be South Florida, just "so" as a connector to the thought.
@@bjspeck4337
Ahh gotcha 👍
@@ronsbrat525 I'm a big one for using that connector.
@@bjspeck4337
👍
If you enjoyed this one, I highly recommend My Mother Told Me and Hoist the Colors.
My mother told me is my favorite from VP!
I'll check it out!
Honestly, I think Valhalla Calling pretty much obviates My Mother Told Me; but Hoist is still one of the best things they've ever done. Also Mountain King. Also Rich Man.
The Dragonborn Comes. Geoff kills that entire arrangement.
Addendum to all the other post, If it is Voiceplay, or Geoff, it is a must hear. ALL of them are good, and depending on your personal tastes, some may well be better than others, but not a bad one in the lot.
as for the set design, that was all designed and created by Eli (the bald rock tenor) in Unreal Engine. Every single background you see there, everything designed and created by Eli. He did an amazing job with it!
It was filmed in a volume studio, much like the one used for The Mandalorian. The LED screens are 155 ft long and 26 ft tall. The volume set allowed for camera tracking to match the moving background with the performances.
The smirk on Geoff's face when he knows his bass is blowing your mind tho
I personally thing this is probably their best work to date. Layne arranged the music, Eli did the sets and CG, Geoff called the USGS so they wouldn’t think Florida had earthquakes, and J.None wrote the rap.
As the videos have progressed Caesar has come more out of his shell and experimented more with his pitch and tenor. Eli was the lead singer in a Metallica Cover Band so I knew he could rock out, but OMG did he blow my mind with this one. Geoff never got above the 1 octave range and dropped as low as a C0 (his highest note was a F1#). To put that in perspective, most standard pianos end at a F0. J.None laid fire and brimstone all about. And Layne chased his drum set appetizer with a full synth (seriously, I know there is some post production, but he can also make most those noises himself… I just want to know HOW).
Small correction, Geoff went down to B0 in this and Halo
Geoff (Jeff) did a B0 three times in this song and sustained it with some note shifting for 15 seconds for the first one that you heard.
My Mother Told Me they did first, and the characters they established there returns now. Geoff manages 3 B0 in this, holding it 15 seconds first time.
Miracle of Sound gave them 10 alehorns out 10 for this cover. VP responded that the wishes he would send on the ale, the singing made them thirsty.
Trivia fact, the AC was broken in the studio, they were very hot in their furs.
Eli is said Ellie. Geoff is Jeff.
I have some homemade mead they can try ;)
@@VikingReacts thank you for a great reaction to Voice Play. I think this is amazing. The only part I didn't like was the rapping. I have never heard of a Viking rapping. Layne arranged this & he always does an amazing job. I believe someone who isn't part of Voice Play wanted the rap incorporated into the song & I am surprised that Layne allowed it. Vikings don't rap they chant, like Geoff did.
All the reactors I've seen love the rapping. Including one I just watched that is Scandinavian.
It may not be a Viking thing but it sure fit in great with the song and video.
@@jackyfriedman1963 no it didn't.
@@marshayoung9387 Basically, the sagas and poems created by Anglo-Saxons and Norse folk are the archaic versions of rap. Heck, they even had a separate category for insult rap - flyting, which dates back to 5th century. So, as surprising as it may sound, J's section fits the context of the song quite perfectly.
Two notes: Geoff is pronounced Jeff and Eli, which is short for Eliezer, is pronounced Elley (rhymes with jelly). Cesar really shows a new side to his vocals here.
if they looked sweaty it was with good reason they’re filming in Florida and the air conditioning broke down. And yes they do as much as possible themselves. Layne arranged this one and Eli did a lot of the virtual backgrounds and lighting. They are simply amazing 🏴
They were all legit sweating. The AC broke in the studio, and it was 100 degrees. That’s probably why they look so fierce, too.
It is Jeff. Geoffrey is just the old French version of Jeffrey.
All of us were blown away by Cesar in this-we hadn’t seen this side of him before. Or heard this color in his voice. I’ve suspected almost from the get-go that there was a lot more to him than we were getting to see. Now I really want him to set up a solo channel. Same with Eli (he could go rock god more often!) and if Layne wanted to do one where he played violin I’d be there for it. J. has his own channel-there’s a rendition of the national anthem on there (he’s in uniform, so singing for the Navy) that is one of the best I’ve heard.
That was a B0 subharmonic by Geoff. Usually within a day or two if you scroll thru the comments, RTSBass or someone else will have a list of the low notes. Geoff’s hit a B0 only once before, for Halo Theme. There are basses who can hit lower notes, but Geoff not only hits them, he sounds great. That’s hard to do that low.
You should hear the (sort of) prequel for this-My Mother Told Me. Also sort of in the same vein there’s Hoist the Colours from Pirates of the Caribbean, and The Dragonborn Comes from Skyrim, and Halo Theme…. Oh, and Carry On Wayward Son (more like Nothing Else Matters).
Loved your reaction! I was worried if you really liked Gavin and Peyton’s version you might be jarred by the way these guys changed it up, but I love both versions. Glad you do too!
Skal! (Speaking of, have you heard Gavin’s song Skal?)
VoicePlay + Viking = EPIC!! You know when they cosplay it’s going to slay! Geoff hit THREE B0s and I’m not sure how high Eli got.
One of them at least went for around 15 seconds. The man is part demon I'm sure 🤣
D5 on Eli iirc
Thanks for your reaction- I knew you would love Voice Play's cover of this song! I agree with the other comments about reacting to Voice Play's "My Mother Told Me" and "Hoist The Colors".
There is no denying that Voice Play adds their own spin to it, but this is a cover from Gavin Dunne (Aka 'Miracle Of Sound'), a composer, performer and one-man recording studio. He does a lot of video-game inspired songs as well as some based on Irish / Celtic folk lore. If you liked this you might check out one of his more recent uploads, 'Skal!' (in either acoustic or metal versions).
VoicePlay does nothing but covers (afaik) and they pull off whatever they do with amazing creativity and style! I never used to like covers till I discovered these guys (and some other aca groups)
They do their own make-up, production, set or backdrop, everything. They are amazing and they sound fabulous doing it! FIRE!!!!
Oh yes, it was miserable hot as the AC had went out and the leather and furs made for a really sweaty day. But, the warriors of VoicePlay slayed it! In case you haven't seen it, this is Part 2, My Mother Told Me was Part 1. I'm really hoping there will be more parts to this! You'll love Eli in My Mother Told Me too. He found his inner berserker. Hope we see that reaction soon!!
I temember saying Eli was "tiny and terrifying" in My Mother Told Me. Even more so here, with a side of Geoff looking like Boromir's "one does not simply walk into..." Valhalla!
His inner berserker 😂 omg so true
Most of us Pentaholics also enjoy Voiceplay and Home Free (Home Fry does a bit country). All acapella groups.
Don't forget The Bass Gang! Yeah, the fan crossover is huge. They are all so talented that the main difference is which style of music one prefers, not the talent of the group! ❤
This made me so happy this morning. What a wonderful surprise to wake-up to, my favourite reactor freaking out to my favourite a cappella group. Grinning like a Cheshire Cat! 😁
His name is Geoff, but it's pronounced Jeff, so you are fine.
Eli is pronounced like jelly (without the J).
Glad you like it, your react was really enternaining.
Who needs a label when you have talent.
I am so happy that you reacted to this! Everyone else has already given you great info, so I'll just applaud and say I enjoyed it tremendously!
♥
Everybody laughs with sheer joy when Geoff hits one of his low notes.
I feel a little bad you watched Vahalla Calling before watching their My Mother Told Me video (it's 2 or 3 years old but, if you watch it, you'll understand why. Note: it was before J.None left voiceplay to serve in the army and before Cesar join in.)
Fun fact - the U.S. Navy actually recruited him for his singing abilities! ❤
Awesome reaction to an awesome song and video.
This is sequel to "My Mother Told Me" they did a couple years ago. They reprised their characters.
This was filmed at Vü Studios in Orlando Florida. The air conditioner was broken. That's why they're sweating.
They flew J None in from Washington to Orlando just for this video. If he couldn't make it they weren't going to do it.
You did an awesome job on their names except Geoff is Jeff.
Eli is a Rock Tenor. He played in several rock bands before joining Voiceplay.
I think the rap works because it's like modern flyting. Viking poetry battles, right? This whole thing was just EPIC from start to finish & I loved watching your expressions as changes just slammed into you. Prost! ❤💜💙
Before Geoff starts his solo (which he stays in the 1st and 2nd octaves) hes droning out a B0. The last note on the piano
Geoff’s sustained B0 is mind blowing.
I really enjoyed this one! We got something really cool from everyone in the group. From Geoffs lows to Eli's highs, J rapping, Cesars grit and those insane sounds Layne manages to make. Makes for a very entertaining video!
Vikings don't rap they chant.
@@marshayoung9387They also flyte, so it works.
Vikings did rap. They Battle Rapped. Also known as Flyting. Traced back to the old English word for "flitan" quarrel. A ritual in which many mythological figures took part in exchanging poetic insukts.
Much the same way battle raps are done by rappers today.
I looked it up on Google.
@@marshayoung9387 I bet you're fun at parties 😉
Eli used the unreal engine for the background. They were literally Hot 🔥
The air conditioner had gone out. Geoff was grumpy in the BTS video. Shows their dedication to work in those heavy costumes. They are independent and do everything themselves. Geoff (Jeff), Eli (Ellie).
6:57 "they look so fierce but so hot" 👀 indeed.... 😉
**talks about there bing fire in the background**
ohhh hot like warm.... that too I guess... 😅🥲
(But anyway, I liked your reaction! This song is one of my favorites, I've been playing it on repeat since it came out and I can't get enough lol. I hope you listen to more of Voiceplay, these guys are awesome!)
((Also, someone might have mentioned it already, but Geoff is pronounced like Jeff, and the beatboxer is indeed the amazing Layne ❤️))
🔥🔥I agree!!! 🔥🔥
Love the harmonies. I’m finding groups I never would have listened to. Thanks for that.😊
Great reaction, I'm delighted that you enjoyed this song so much! I look forward to your next voicePlay (or solo Geoff) discovery!
This is now the second song I've ever heard by this band (the first being your other reaction) and I don't know this particular song, but that whole thing was just mind blowing. I can't get over that guy that goes low (dirty Fabio this time😍), like I just want him to come read books to me, his voice is magnificent. So this song is now immediately going on my workout/running playlist cause it's badass and I guess I'm going to have to dive down this rabbit hole.....
Pressure wave! Perfect description. I thought of it almost like the shockwave after a jet breaks the sound barrier. And yes...definite Floki vibes! He was my favorite!
So glad your video showed up in my recommidations. I loved your channel and videos and thought you were gone :(
(you were but you know what i mean).
so i stopped subscribing because it clutters my feed otherwise but im so happy you are back. youre one of the reactors that are authentic, real, have good quality, feedback, opinion. I just love your stuff.
the names are eli, nicht ily and jeff not geoff ^^ spokenwise
their yoiceplay stuff is unmatched. every song is a fraeaking banger. geoff solo work is fantastic too. insane qulity produktion, insane vocals, a wide spektrum of genres... hes crazy :D
subbed again! thanks for coming back
You actually did really well on remembering the names for only the second song of theirs you’ve watched. I hope you find other songs of theirs that you’ll enjoy.
Great fun watching your reaction. I’m off to watch more of your videos since this is the first I’ve found you.
Me, too.
Lived in Norway when I was younger and it gave the same feeling as the long ship museum and looking at the fjords, very epic. Loved it! Den Norse Vikinger.
The bass in this group is Geoff Castilucci. He sings bass, but prefers to sing baritone because singing too low hurts him. He can do it, but he prefers singing baritone.
Voiceplays newest cover is out. Seven Nation Army. Superb!
In viking culture there was a thing called flyting - a kind of rap battles. In assassin's Creed - the game - there are some flyting scenes too.
Geoff went into a B0 this song . ........ Holy freaking goodness
The look on your face when Geoff opened his mouth was priceless 😅
How do you not here that! The sound is incredible!
Found you by this song. Loved your enthusiasm! Must recommend their Dragonborne Comes!
Geoff hits a B0, the 2nd key on a piano. Just to emphasize how insane this is, a B0 is about 30 hertz. Normal humans hearing range only goes down to 20 hertz, or an E0. So yeah... it rattles the marrow in your bones. Elephants trumpet in victory. Vikings hear Valhalla calling.
Others have probably written this, but this is a sequel to My Mother Told Me. You should check that out.
Geoff hit a B0 3 times in this one. Voiceplay can do any genre, hard rock, metal, Disney, showtunes, comedy, tragedy. Literally, anything. There are a couple of reactors who try to analyze eveything in a Voiceplay video,. One goes an hour to an hour and a half, and acknowledges that he hasn't noticed everything. For this one, during the patron scroll, they were playing the karaoke track that they create for patrons. Since there was no melody playing, we could hear the backup vocals more clearly. Absolutely beautiful.
For a change of pace, I'll recommend that you react to their Little Mermaid Medley (comedy) and I Can't Make You Love Me (tragedy).
Really enjoying your reactions!!
You're talking about #davidkreacts, right? I know it'll probably be a while before he's able to get to this, but I think it may be one of his longest yeet, lol, and I'm here for it! I've learned a lot about music theory by watching him. ❤
1:30 still blows my mind that Geoff can just casually sustain a friggin B0 like that....
Lol, not so casually. I understand that he was in his studio for 5 hours getting it right! ❤
Strange, I can feel your reactions to my bone lol. In other words, great reactions to a great song. If you like sea shanties, you must listen to Voiceplay's Hoist the Colours.
This is soooooo awesome! I love it.
Hot yes. The AC had broken down in the place they were filming in. That wasn't the only problem they had. J/None was flying in to do this and his plane was three hours late. But that's life in VoicePlay. You suck it up and get on with it. :) Yes they're independent. If you watch earlier videos y ou can see how much they've improved, how much more professional they have become, since gaining all the patrons they have now. And no it's said as Jeff, as you previously thought. Eli is pronounced as elly (short for Eliezer). Cesar has never looked so fierce. :)
Yes, Kathy (Geoff's wife) had to pick him up at the airport, so I suspect that the parts where he is on his own were filmed after the rest - then he had to rush back to Washington to go to a wedding!
@@raycardy4843 the wedding was in Florida, and it was HIS wedding --he filmed this the day before his own wedding; talk about a full schedule!
@@loritempleman2951 Actually - no! J.None and D'Mone married before he went into the Navy, but they didn't get to celebrate it until Feb 26th this year - there is a video on Huldra Draco's channel..!
@@raycardy4843 I should have been clearer--they were married legally before, but came back for a full-on wedding celebration. There are pictures on insta.
The makeup was created by Rick Underwood and Renette Feren, and, for four of the performers, recreates their looks from their first Viking cover, My Mother Told Me, with a few Easter eggs. The design on J. None's (baritone/rap) forehead and inside Eli Jacobson's (tenor) forearm is the Norse rune for music, tónlist, The runes inside Geoff Castellucci's (bass) forearm and on Cesar de la Rosa's (bari-tenor) face spell out VoicePlay. Some of the costume pieces were reused as well; for example Cesar is wearing the robe worn by Jose Rosario, Jr. in MMTM. Geoff holds a B0 subharmonic for about 15 seconds near the beginning, and near the end holds it again for about 12 seconds. He's liberally hitting A1, B1, and G1 chest notes, with F#1 and E subharmonics throw into the mix. On the opposite end of things, Eli is throwing around B4s like they're nothing and is sustaining B5 mix notes, especially near the end with Geoff's B0 sub. Crazy!!
You really need to checkout their cover of My Mother Told Me. Cesar wasn't a part of the group then but they had a guest, Jose Rosario Jr, and they used the same costumes and makeup
Cesar's wearing Jose's cloak from MMTM here. Leading theories so far are that he's either the son of Jose's late character seeking vengeance, or Jose bought that boat, decided pillaging just wasn't him, sold the boat to Cesar and threw in the cloak as a bonus, retired to a life of mead-making and now supplies them on their voyages.
@@DTA-Music My own theory is that Jose went down in glorious battle and the cloak was given to a kinsman of his who wears it in his honor as Jose feasts in Valhalla
Think I just finally heard someone who can rival Eric in Bass!! Love it!!!!
I KNEW you'd like this one 😁.
Happy you appreciated it.🙂
These guys seem to be able to raise the bar every single time... And it began seeming impossible mong ago, but here they are blowing us away 😅.
Loved your reaction to this one. 🙂
See you next time.
Skål!
Their version of Nothing Else Matters is amazing. Hope you go through their eclectic catalogue.
eclectic is putting it mildly! These guys do *everything* and incredibly well!
it is pronounced like Jeff, even though it is spelled Geoff. But yeah, this definitely got my Northern raiding blood pumping! And I will say that I'm not normally one for rap, but the breakdown in this one hit all of the right notes for me. I look forward to you continuing to explore VoicePlay and Geoff's solo work. I'd almost recommend Sixteen Tons as a great intro point for him.
lol Geoff made a Viking giggle!
The Bass Singer's name is Geoff Castelucci. he does solo bass covers as well
Terrific reaction, so glad you did this one. It's still said Jeff not Geoff. Caesar is a true actor. He can do things with his voice, see Halo Theme.
Hail Viking! Thank you for the great reaction. Happy New Year to you and all of yours 🥂🐷🍀😎🤘❤
They also did a cover of "My Mother Told Me" from the Vikings show. This cover was supposed to be a sequel to "My Mother Told Me".
I think that the story is at first the vikings calling one of their own home to Valhalla, then they go to call more home. I CANNOT believe that fierce, gritty guy is the same guy as that sweet, innocent-looking elf in Dragonborn
I haven't see that video yet but I will soon pick that I guess ;). Those are themes that will always speak to me!
@@VikingReacts Another Viking one is My Mother Told Me, but I think you've already done that one.
If you like Geoff's deep voice, he does a song called the Headless Horseman that's ridiculous.
ive done my share of research and yes, that deep voice is indeed real.. holy fucking shit man.
At 2:43: "Do you hear that low undertone?" Yeah, that's Geoff. Don't play anything with Geoff if you're close to unstable terrain, you might accidentally create an avalanche. At 5:01 quote "Like an earthquake or pressure wave." Yep, exactly.
Great reaction. You are great to watch
Geoff (Bass) is a beatboxer teacher too , plus has his own channel for more just bass songs
Oh... I need to check that out! I actually mentioned that he should teach in a video I recorded today! I noticed he used his false vocal cords to achieve a low note and that sparked this comment! Seems he was way ahead of me :P
I DO listen to this for hours on repeat! Really!
Can't blame you to be honest...
I was so looking forward to your reaction to this song. You did not disappoint. I agree with the fierce attitude and appearance of each one, but, most especially, Cesar. He gives off Berserker vibes. Then there was your response to Geoff's first really low note, epic!!
This is goooood
Knew you would love this ❤, great reaction xx
I think it's in the breakdown sections, when there are no words being sung, I think Geoff is saying wowowow and a really low note almost like a vibrating subwoofer. I've had to listen a few times to try and figure what the shenanigans is going on.
RESPECT BOYS!!
Commenting mostly for the algorithm but I am convinced that Layne was built by Yamaha Sound at some point in the late 80's.
And with some of the effects he comes up with, one of the designers was smoking something good! Lol Layne is amazing! 💙💜❤
Sooooo….what do you think of their stylistic range? And you haven’t even started. Showtunes, movie soundtracks, country, Disney, pop, k-pop, they’ve done it all. And they own it all.
It doesn’t matter what kind of music it started as or who did it. Once VoicePlay does it, it’s a VoicePlay song.
That deep rumble that Geoff does in the background is a B0 in some places. To put into perspective how deep that is: You know a bass guitar, right? It normally has four strings. In order to get the low note that Geoff sings on that bass guitar, you have to use a FIVE string bass, and it's the lowest note on that lowest string.
BELOW normal bass guitar notes.
Sir, it was around 40 degrees Celsius and the AC had stopped working hours before. Remember, this is Orlando Florida. HOT humid, and this guys working their asses off for us.
Elmar from Germany
They did an amazing job if you take that into consideration. And… wir können auf Deutsch schreiben ;)
@@VikingReacts Lieber Freund, in den "Behind the scenes" Videos (Patreon) erfährt man wieviel Liebe und Sorgfalt auf diese Videos verwendet wird. In diesem speziellen Fall erzählt Geoff (Jeff) + Kathy, wie heiss es in den VU-Studios war. Wegender Hintergrund-Projektion waren sie dorthin gefahren. Nur dumm, dass J.Nones Flug von Washington State 3 Stunden Verspätung hatte. Herr None ist jetzt im Chor der US Navy. Zur Beförderung wurde er an die Ostküste versetzt, damit er mit seinen Freunden (Voiceplay) öfter Videos drehen kann. Das habe ich fast alles von den Videos gelernt.
OOHHH, Geoff hat 5 FÜNF Oktaven Stimmumfang, Layne hat NUR 4😂.
Mein lieber Freund Ich wümsche Ihnen alles Gute, bleiben Sie gesund. Ihr Schwabe Elmar
I've been a major fan of VoicePlay for a few years, but when this song hit a couple days ago, I had to get this track. I immediately hit their Patreon site and signed up. Now I have most of their more recent stuff and will continue to support them for a good while. There are a few others that might fit the Viking theme, but I would not pass up the other things that they have done. If you like the MegaBass, then I have to recommend the Oogy Boogy Song. Not Viking, but really good.
Welcome aboard! They got me at a concert a few years back. 🙂
They did My Mother Told Me as well.
My Mother Told Me was the first time they used background created by Eli (bald guy) in Unreal Engine, which is gaming software. This has background created by him as well, but was projected on VFX screens - their first time using VFX.
The long note that Geoff sings at the beginning just as J. None starts is a subharmonic B0 that he holds for 15 secs and even slides up and back down!
Except for J None's switch with Jose Rosario Jr., the costumes are the same as My Mother Told Me. Looks like the making of a Viking Series. I hope they consider doing Led Zeppelins Immigrant Song next. Great reaction!
Eli in this really reminds me of Floki from the vikings series! So unhinged yet FANTASTIC .and geoff…no words. One of their best covers!
If you haven't already check out their version of My Mother Told Me, which was released before this one. You reactions are SO good I love them!😊❤
J was a permanent member from 2017 to 2021 when the Navy recruited him to front one of their bands. I love that they have him returning home in this. He’s been away and now he’s coming back where he belongs.
Among their tattoos are runes spelling out VoicePlay. Cesar’s is on his face, Geoff has one on his forearm and there’s too much going on for me to figure out where everybody else has one. In My Mother Told Me Eli was a beserker. He obviously has recruited the whole group now. Even Cesar was scary. A lot of the costuming is from MMTM.
Layne did the arrangement and Eli the amazing backgrounds. It was filmed, not green screen, but at a studio with immense (Full wall!) led screens.
I'm so glad to see your interpretation on J's 'return'. I unfortunately saw it more as him dying and joining the others in the Mead Hall of Valhalla. Your interpretation is much less dire/dead. A relief!
Fun fact the lowest he went in this song was a B0 you can hear it in the beginning beneath the me that is sung
That was the note he called the base undertone
1:40 "I wanted to go back" *promptly gets distracted by the next amazing set of lines
Always :p
Oh Splendid darling!!! you did a wonderful job here!!! much love ♥ Um.. so i am not judging, but i doubt many of you realized... they are looking across a sea to the gates of tartarus... you cant be blamed if you havent toured tartarus >.>
I do wonder how many ppl think the viking thing is a ploy and how many actually recognize that amulet you wear...
Thank you so much! And a lot have mentioned that I can't be a Viking as I am not scandinavian (little do they know I have Swedish ancestry) but not as much lately. Some people have noticed Mjolnir and have asked if I am into Asatru as well ;). And the answer is indeed: yes. Well spotted!
Thank you for your reaction ! Lm
The recommendation of their version of my mother told me that also showed up is also epic viking song
I recommend to listen to Geoff's cover of the song Sixteen tons. ☺️
I know you will watch it again. Turn on the subtitles so you can catch the full rap... it goes SO fast.
Praise my adhd brain for being able to keep up ;). Maybe for the people watching the reaction?
@@VikingReacts For me seeing the words was good. The rap is such a mix of ancient and new. Yet warriors have to dig down to these same roots to go to war so it made me appreciate the complexity of it. Who would have thought that a black viking rapping would make any sense at all? But it works and it bridges a bit of our understanding of those "crazy" Vikings. I'm only 1/4 Norwegian but a person doesn't have to have a blood tie to be fascinated by the way they launched themselves at life.
I'm go out on a limb and make a left-field recommendation: Teresa Carpio singing "Vincent" (originally by Don McLean), preferably the version from episode 3 of The Singer 2017. It's definitely not in your usually reaction genre, but as someone who clearly enjoys excellent emotional performances by talented musicians, i really think you would love Teresa's cover of "Vincent". I originally found her via her great cover of "Imagine." --crosses fingers---
P.S. the cover of "Flowers" by Leo Moracchioli is one of the best things I would never have found otherwise. Thank you for sharing it!
The answer to how long is x note Geoff just did is: Not the lowest he can, and the answer to how low can he do is: Yes.
This is my first time watching one of your reactions, but just to help a bit, the bass singer is Geoff (pronnounced Jeff) ;)
J None wasn't on leave so his part was done from a distance and Eli (rhymes with jelly) incorporated his part into the video. They do not have a label because they want the control themselves. They do the arranging (Layne and Geoff split the duty, each do a video and next time the other does it), Layne and Tony (used to be VP baritone but wanted to get into production (can hear him in Phantom of the Opera)) own Pattycake Studios where much of VPs and Geoff's (Jeff) videos are done, camera work, costuming, staging, computer and greenscreen, makeup. They do it all, final mix is by Ed Boyer, extreme makeup, wigs, beard wrangling by Rick Underwood and Renee Feren. Geoff's wife Kathy is the production manager. I am so proud of their abilities - no other group comes close to VoicePlay. They may have great voices but they are owned by the labels.
I don’t know who told you J was remote, but stop listening to them. 😉
J’s plane was three hours late, but he was on set with them and did film along with them in the same studio. My source: the behind the scenes video that has Kathy quietly fretting about him being late and shows J horsing around with the other guys.
As far as I know, Alexa and the Stairwell Siren (I’m blanking on her name - the lady who sang “Ding Dong” with them) are the only two that have worked remotely any time recently.
@@Gael4ce J did some distance filming for the...November set of minis? Pretty sure it was November. But that's the only other time recently.
Try their cover of Dragonborn Comes from the Skyrim game..
You got the low note from Geoff (Jeff) right - F#1. What freaks me out about that is that F#1 is a vibration at just over 46 Hertz (cycles per second) - and the human hearing range (when young, and in good condition) only goes down to about 20 Hertz. As do most headphones - check your specs. And that's not even Geoff's lowest note! That man is a Viking war horn, all by himself!
If you like them, just watch their version of "my mother told me". It is very good too
I intend to :)
yeah we hear ir well
I’m never sure as the headset really lifts up the bass and the one I use whilst editing doesn’t. Good to know!
I had never seen this or the original before but gosh dang it's good! And that face you made when Geoff did that low bit in the beginning was friggan awesome!! I probably had the same expression! You should check out the 'Oogie Boogie' song from them, it's pretty cool and Geoff goes I think even lower than in this one!
Edit: You mentioned a screen shake when the bass dropped like that and it reminded me of PTX so I went to look - you haven't seen Popspring 2016 or Somebody I Used To Know so may I recommend those, PTX does the same thing in those that I think you'd like!
nothing is viking here except the costumes, tbh
Obviously. It is a theme. Real Vikings haven't been around for 900+ years... If at all Viking they should be singing in either old Norse or Icelandic which resembles it most. I have the feeling you know that though as I see a last name which has some clear Icelandic vibes ;)
