Home Free -- Skull and Bones -- Sea Shanty of THE YEAR!! 💀🥁 -- 307 Reacts -- Episode 729

[@reneroberson2784]

So proud of Adam Chance.. He seriously has been stepping up his game.. I love Adam Chance so much.. seems to be the one always in the background man not anymore.. this man has proved himself over and over again.. I adore Home Free they are my boys.. been with them for over 16 years 🏡🆓🏡🍟 I enjoy your reactions so much I watch you guys all the time..

[@janeelfgren]

I listen to this song-video EVERY DAY. And I'm going to see Home Free in their concert in Stockholm, Sweden in September.

[@donovandelaney3171]

Long live the Pirate Republic!

[@brendasorenson6186]

Chance wrote it. Chance played the acoustical guitar and Austin played the mandolin. Chance was lead with his bass voice and Tim was down in the sub-basement on bass. Adam was doing out-of-this-world vocal percussion. Adam was also singing in the background Skull And Bones while beat boxing. I was looking forward to y'all reacting to this; you didn't disappoint. It has blown quite a few fans and reactors out of the water! (Pun intended)

[@307Reacts]

A very cool change of pace for the HF guys, and we love that they’re getting into a game soundtrack! Super excited for the release now!

[@staceysmith8173]

Chance wrote this song Ubisoft came to them and asked him to write a song. This was kept quiet for a year. When this was inroduced Home Free did it live. Chance is playing the guitar and Austin plays the Mandolin You need to do their Sea Shanty medley you will love it too

[@donnilloyd1355]

I like this one, I do. But the one of Home Free showing this on the Back Screen And singing it LIVE is AWESOME. You can actually see what each member is doing to perform this. I just consider THIS video a teaser, until I saw the actual performance by HF. Good Post, guys. Thanx for sharing.

[@LynnRamsay]

Skull And Bones is multiplayer and was meant to be an expansion of Assassin’s Creed Black Flag but then got to independent title. Chance wrote this and took lead.He’s huge into everything about the sea and shanties Chance was playing guitar Austin was playing mandolin and Adam with his amazing beatboxing. They sang live at Ubisoft Live Premiere

[@danivansuperstar]

Tim is singing an octave below Chance most of the song. The live version is also great and you can see better what they’re doing. Thanks for reacting to this, guys!!

[@307Reacts]

Thanks for the info, Dani! We appreciate you!!

[@ilsukdyang8134]

Which is super impressive because Chance is already singing quite low and it sounds so good!

[@musiclovingnurse2802]

I’m “old school” RPG: little people with big heads!! Suikoden Series; Breath of Fire Series; Lunar Series; Wild Arms Series; Grandia Series; Mission Thunderbolt!!! Overhead view, pick up and throw a chicken or hay bale and it might “poof” into more energy or a weapon you could use or sell. Have a decent thief in your party, keep your game in search mode and you might find treasure or have a challenging but winnable battle with good rewards. Find and recruit all available characters and get a reward when you progress to the next game in the series. I’m 54 years old and still have them all. Kept a Macintosh Performa 600 just to be able to play Mission Thunderbolt…had to replace the monitor with special adapter cords, since there was no such thing as HDMI back in the day!!!!

[@lindanearing4710]

How freaking cool is it that Home Free got to do the music for a video game? Chance did an awesome job of writing it and the performance is sick! Between Chance and Tim's voices it about knocks the fillings out of your teeth (in a good way). Rob and Austin back there singing the hell out of it sounds so good. Adam's vocal percussion/beat boxing is just nuts. He has brought back his ocean wave sounds, his castanets (or maybe they are bones rattling together) and I hear cannon fire. I never in a million years thought I'd get so excited for a pirate song, but here I am loving this like crazy. I'm not even a gamer, but this makes me wish I were. Chance and Adam being huge gamers, can you imagine how stoked they were to do this? Home Free has been sizzling hot for the past few months more than usual. They have leveled up! Great reaction, as usual. Thanks.

[@pamelagoodman7559]

The live version of this is a must listen

[@dianadickerson749]

There' the live version and the words version. Game out in August, the guys said the full length music video coming later this year. This is Chance's baby, written by him.

[@rllangevin3841]

What a great sea shanty by Chance!!! This is brilliant and is a new but delightful ear worm! Home Free never disappoints!

[@vickiadkins9844]

I am soooooo proud of Chance, I could spit!! The talent from Hf is unmatched!!!!! This is epic!!!!!!!

[@SBQDawn]

I finally get to give you info that would have been a spoiler. Chance wrote it Adam Rupp is Overtone singing then beatboxing and then the Chants ! Austin played Mandolin and Chance his guitar, Rob and Austin both sang in their lower tenor. OMG so Much Good Stuff ! Chance is the Ending Laugh! Can Not wait for you to find stuff I haven't in the live and I've been collecting the info from Fries smarter than me . With my headphones down I know you'll hear some stuff I haven't Educate me boys ! I'm not a gamer and already have it preordered at game stop and am on the hunt for a PS5 used I hope. I have a PS2 Fat that is still original and working. I Love this dang song and you will love the from Lockdown Sea Shanty Medley AND That thing went viral on many levels including an Asian Dance Challenge .

[@babyfry4775]

It’s so good. Chance wrote a beauty. He’s really into shanties and wrote this for the game. How cool is that?! There’s another song they performed for the Ubisoft crowd but it’s shorter. You can really hear Tim go insanely low. Love it. Great reactions guys!😍 The sea shanty medley was done a couple of years ago during the pandemic. It became a hit. Not sure if Ubisoft was aware of that and approached Chance or not. Pretty cool though.

[@snowstalker36]

I was definitely not expecting this (figured you were finally getting to the Sea Shanty Medley) but I was pleasantly surprised. I didn't even notice this song coming out, and I really liked it!

[@1aleckman1]

Hi guys! Here's the live version they did. Home Free - "Skull and Bones" | Full Live Performance Summer Game Fest 2023

[@dagmar.6954]

Home Free is so talented. They can do any genre of music. That was so much fun to listen to. Chance loves sea shanties & he wrote this song for the game "Skull & Bones". His deeper voice sounded great for this song. And of course all the background harmonies of the guys including Adam's fabulous vocal percussion. I'm not a gamer but I love this. There is also a shorter live version of this song which sounds great!

[@bernieregnier4500]

Totally epic!!!! The incredible amount of material they have released over the last 4 years plus is totally increditble!!!! Don't know any other band of any genre that has released this much material and at the qualtiy level they keep presenting. So impressed with Home Free!!!! Their talent level allows them so many different directions at a superb level!!! 💯💢💥💫❣

[@oldschoolpop8428]

Tim Tim Tim Tim unbelievable is what that bass is.

[@joyvanderveer2282]

I have seen the live...the sub harmonic is Tim doing his thing. Chance did a great job with this and I am so proud of the guys and so happy for them. This has opened a lot of doors for them and introduced a lot of new people to the talent that is Home Free.

[@lisabeaver7675]

The talent of these men is out of this world. I can't wait for this game it looks great. Great reaction

[@307Reacts]

Thanks Lisa! We’re excited as well!

[@debbiehall9091]

This song was written by Adam Chance for a new video game. He also sings the lead. Harmonies are great.❤

[@geniej9093]

You will love seeing how Home Free accomplish sounding so Brilliant.

[@geniej9093]

Piloting this ship. You guys are fun to watch muddle your way through reactions. You are a hoot.

[@307Reacts]

We’re glad you appreciate it, Genie! 😂🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@beadwright]

Opera Rob unleashed on this. Chance did amazing writing this earworm!

[@anitawright7169]

Love this song. Adam Chance wrote this. There is nothing they can't do! Love your reactions!

[@lrfcowper]

You get opera Rob doing those "Skull and Bones!" chants and Tim's deep, gravelly laugh at the end. Such fun.

[@kellywilliams364]

I thought that was Chance

[@melikka808]

If you watch the live version, you see Adam is doing the chants.

[@lrfcowper]

@@melikka808 Nope. He's beatboxing in time to the words, but if you look at his neck / throat and not his mouth, you'll see the muscles are taut -- a clear sign he's beatboxing and not singing. It's Rob singing in his lower register using his resonant opera voice.

[@lrfcowper]

@@kellywilliams364 That laugh is the absolute bottom note or a tone below it of Chance's known range (ie the range he uses professionally). He can undoubtedly sing / say that note, but it won't have the warmth and timbre you hear here. That's a basso profundo delivering that laugh -- ie, Tim.

[@bernieregnier4500]

You will enjoy this version as well ; Home Free - "Skull and Bones" | Full Live Performance Summer Game Fest 2023 ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/qabXhKdqd8SrrqM ) Watch the boys do this live at the game fest a few weeks ago. Gives you an even deeper appreciation for Home Free. ❣

[@polarbear509]

Chance is really into pirates so he wrote this song for the video game

[@robynmatheson7687]

Even though the live version is shorter, I like it better. The vocals are less produced, and Opera Rob and Austin are more noticeable. It feels more like the crew is having a rowdy time in a tavern.

[@JoanN63]

What a fantastic song this is. I see images of the old days where the pirates all sang together on their ship. So incredible performance. This is so very cool! A totally different sound but again so great. I would like Chance to write more often for Home Free. Home Free can just sing anything. Chance with his perfect low voice for this, Tim Foust's slightly lower voice that goes so well with Chance's. Adam Rupp who also contributes to the bass, but also shows the undisputed beatboxer / vocal percussionist / vocal artist. Austin Brown who also plays a musical part but then gets into it vocally with his powerful voice. And then Rob Lundquist who clearly shows his rich opera voice here. And then that harmony that sounds so beautiful.

[@kevinboothe9991]

We need a new Pirates of the Caribbean movie with Home Free doing the sound track

[@307Reacts]

Agreed!!

[@dellison58]

Just wanted to mention Adam's usual amazing drums and sneaking in the castanets shortly before the end.

[@staceysmith8173]

Without listening to any of it i know you LOVED it

[@SBQDawn]

Most definitely True ! I'm overexcited myself I've heard it a ton can't keep away from it.

[@penlynn5036]

Ya gotta watch their live presentation of this to the convention…

[@mickealpeterman4328]

When you watch the live video watch Adam sing the background of Skull and Bones.

[@SBQDawn]

I'm so Happy right now !!! Thanks Guys ! #NotificationGang

[@SarahAden-zb3np]

I found this and I want say hi 307 Reacts. Chance wrote this song. I can hear Tim's low bass. The harmonies are great and they are great singers. They are my favorite group. 😊❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@mickealpeterman4328]

You really need to react to Home Free doing Skull and Bones (live). Watch what Adam can do while beatboxing.

[@tinasturgeon4730]

Awesome reaction!Thanks ❤Much Love! #Hangovergang #NotificationGang

[@307Reacts]

Always nice to see you in the comments, Tina!

[@terrichristenson432]

Home Free performed a live shorter version of this at the premier, Tim sang even lower and I think it is better. The guys like a live audience !!!!

[@sylviasargent2727]

BTW..... Live version.... even LOWER......

[@michaelernst3731]

NOW do NOT go Pillaging my boat after you hear this song !

[@cmitchell7347]

Not a gamer, never will be, but this song is awesome. Recommend checking out HF's live performance of this. Not the full song but Tim and Chance's rumbling double bass, at the start, seeing Adam layer in the 'Skull and Bones' chant with his percussion and Rob's rich operatic vocals all combine to show the power and energy of the piece. Even the way Chance stomps up to the mic. Definitely a new venture for the guys. Within less than 48 hours of its premiere, they'd garnered well over 100K views. Crazy. Hopefully this affords them many new and well-deserved opportunities....and fans!

[@Mudge0001]

While under NDA I can't give too many details but for those interested in the game : Skull in Bones is an upcoming Ubisoft title due for release pretty soon infact. It's an open world RPGMMO with open PVP elements ( I think it's open) You form a group of up to 3 ships ranging from sloop with 2 cannons to a full Man'o'War with 16 cannons. -- Any further details are fringing on NDA and I'm not sure how close I can get. The graphics in the music video is not in game graphics, however they are decent.. mush better looking than say Sea of Thieves. I can't go into gameplay aspects but there is what you would expect from an open world game with questing and ship building. and costumes .. the outfits looked good, I'll be playing it.. "Sea .. ha see what I did there.. See ye on the waves ya landlubbers"

[@jamescurfman3284]

All I know about the game is that it is titled Skull and Bones and it was made by Ubisoft. Apparently Ubisoft called Home Free for this after somebody over there saw the Sea Shanty Medley. That's it from me. I WISH I knew more... Can't wait for this to drop, I wanna see it!

[@cowboy1165]

You guys need to react to Home Free "Sea Shanty Medley." while it's still fresh in your head. FYI. A part of their medley turned out to be a Tic-Tok dance craze. Great reaction guys!

[@colleenleavitt1777]

Such a great song! Check out their live of this one too! 👍😁 Chance out did himself!

[@staceysmith8173]

Sea Shanty came out during covid

[@bethcoussou]

This is an epic song and the live video will be released after the actual video game is officially released to help promote the game. I’m sure the real video for the song will be really good. Thanks for reacting to this one. I would buy the game if Home Free guys were characters in the game.

[@bryanhuff2010]

The Skull and Bones release date window is currently 2023 to 2024 on PS5, Xbox, and PC, according to recent Ubisoft financial targets, although we believe that the game is more likely to arrive in early 2024. There is, however, a Skull and Bones closed beta from August 25 to August 28, 2023.

[@stanrock2225]

FIRE!

[@307Reacts]

🔥🔥🔥

[@minneyruth]

🤘☠️🤘

[@hamblinta]

When you react to Sea Shanty Medley make sure you select the new live version…it’s awesome!

[@brettsteele7386]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/qabXhKdqd8SrrqM This is the live version.

[@jillchamberlain6478]

Darren Rust is their mixer, and yes, they call him the 6th member of the group.

[@307Reacts]

Well-deserved!

[@staceysmith8173]

The guys will be releasing a video of this later this year

[@Spectralyzed]

5:15 Since everyone else has the song facts covered, I thought I'd talk about the game; Yeah, from what I understand, it's got the open world/multiplayer aspect of Sea of Thieves, but it's more akin to Assassin's Creed: Black Flag, and basically takes the naval combat of that game and expands on it. You start out as an outcast from society, and make your way up the Piracy ladder, building a crew, expanding and upgrading your ship, adding new weapons and hull reinforcements, until eventually you're a full fledged Dread Pirate. If I remember correctly, unlike Sea of Thieves, most (if not, all) the combat is naval combat. I think the best way to describe the differences between SoT and S&B is that Sea of Thieves is centered around your Pirate, and Skull and Bones is centered around the Ship and Crew.

[@307Reacts]

Thanks for the info, Spectral! We’re excited to see what it’s all about!

[@sueby1962]

They have a sign up for closed beta testers. I signed up last week.😁

[@charleneclaassen]

HF SKULL AND BONES LIVE!!!!

[@denise_landry]

Thanks Chris and Matt! ☠🍟

[@307Reacts]

Thank you Denise!

[@changlyn100]

That low end would be Tim Foust along with Chance and Adam Rupp

[@lindanearing4710]

The Sargasso Sea is a sea in the Atlantic Ocean which has no land bordering it. It's a part of the ocean formed by the ocean currents that has it's own bio identity. It has some organisms that don't exist anywhere else in the world. I may be wrong, but the 7 seas are distinguished by their unique temperatures, biology within them, depth etc. If I'm wrong, someone will correct me.

[@ArleneAdkinsZell]

Nice reaction yall.

[@meganlodon]

This makes me want to replay Black Flag again.

[@creationsbychancecan]

Chance wrote this one and he is the main lead on it. Really like his bass voice. Rupp is doing the beatboxing. This is their live performance link for this song kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpCVhWxvd7anZpY

[@debbieholoquist2059]

This is great! If the game could be played individually, I'd buy it. But I refuse to do multi player games. Oh, well.

[@thomasmacdiarmid8251]

Dudes, I came for a music reaction and all I heard about was gaming!

[@307Reacts]

🤷🏻

[@pooftiger]

Still working kn Totk, too. Then back to Monster Hunter. I like big games. Every year the Game Awards show has all the nominated songs performed by the original artist. Wonder if they will invite the guys. Thats a huge global audience plus the livestreamers.

[@lynnwood84]

Yea, the Live version is insane. Somehow Tim gets lower/deeper/more growley LIVE than he does recorded, like wtf. Check it out even if you don't record it, it's worth.

[@SBQDawn]

*chuckle I believe you meant WhatTheFoust ? with that wtf ? Giggle *wink

[@Gurl_warrioR4God]

✌🏻😎👍

[@307Reacts]

🤘🏼😎

[@teresacartwright5406]

I've never been a gamer but the graphics for this look incredible. The bass on this song is crazy, the singing, harmonies & beatboxing are great. And when did Austin take up playing mandolin?? Here's the link for the live video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qabXhKdqd8SrrqM. Thanks for playing this and your comments.

[@mrschurch1979]

You need an owl!

[@richb313]

If the game is good this will be epic.

[@mrschurch1979]

I saw some earlier game footage, and this captain is not only a different actor, but the old one his face was much less expressive. I'm almost certain you're right about putting on the finishing touches. 73% water, not all ocean. Traditionally, seven seas. But yeah, you can sail around the world without having to make port if you don't account for provisioning.

[@hidebehind2604]

This is not HOME Frees' official video. This is the game makers version. Home Free kept rights to do own thing with it. Game release mid Feb. Other Home Free version, not live, is way better.

[@Bendigear74]

Arctic North Atlantic, South Atlantic, North Pacific

[@skythewolf6558]

the game is as if Assassin's creed Black Flag and Sea of thieves had a baby. Gameplay similar to Black Flag with objectives closely to similar to SOT.

[@sjenny5891]

Grand Theft Auto.... As pirates?

[@cozenw3236]

Out of the norm for Home Free? From what I heard Chance has an unnatural (I’m embellishing here) obsession with sea shanties.

[@cozenw3236]

One ocean and seven seas?

[@heinz57channel39]

Ubisoft took the sea fights from Valhalla which is why people are kind of pissed about this game.

[@Keeba7790]

Ubi made a smart choice in going with Home Free...the game has gotten a lot of bad rap, but this song will reignite interest. The Home Fries will buy it just for the song.

[@maryrollins607]

Facts! Already signed up for the beta and will take days off work. 🎉

[@susanwahl6322]

Try watching Band of Beavers by the Fat Electrician

[@patriciamcl54]

The live version is IMHO a lot better. This version sounds rather over-produced eg the tenors are multi-tracked until it sounds as if there are about 5000 singers and the brilliant contribution of Rob and Austin gets drowned in the noise. I know nothing about gaming but I do know about pirates. Crews of pirate ships were on the small side to avoid having to share out stolen goods between too many. All the explosions in the video are silly - you wouldn't try to sink a ship you're trying to board and rob. Cannon would also need more personnel and invite retaliation from the other ship. Pirates aren't romantic characters but were (and still are) the terror of honest sailors. They weren't motivated by wanting freedom, but by wanting other people's money. Many were already wanted criminals when they joined a pirate crew. Pirates didn't take captives and would usually murder the crew of the ship they had boarded, since piracy (including being the merest member of a pirate crew) was punishable by death anyway. Hundreds were rounded up and hung in major operations to keep the seaways clear. Not a particularly good life!

[@seanhall5024]

You should have done the live version. It's way better

[@SarahAden-zb3np]

I found this hi

[@307Reacts]

Hi! 👋🏼

[@vandermitch5146]

great song but its sad is a realy bad game
