I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS! | Reaction to VoicePlay - Nothing Else Matters ( Metallica Cover) Ft. J.NONE

[@capucheney]

Lol, watching everyone freak at Layne having a new "lane" electric violin, shouting "Is there ANYTHING you guys CANT DO???!!"

[@carolfranklin]

What a great reaction from a true Metallica fan (even the Dad joke!). This is just an incredible arrangement by Geoff. They had to wait for J to get navy leave it was worth the wait. Any song that gives us rock god Eli, dragon Geoff, lyrical Cesar, smooth J None & drumming plus violin Layne is my instant favourite

[@courtneyurman]

The Dad Joke was the best. 🤘

[@kimhamilton-waycott1773]

This was my first exposure to VoicePlay when they dropped this bomb on me. Have always loved this Metallica song. I was blown away by Geoff's low growl notes and Eli's rock highs. And Layne on Violin 😮. The more I listen, the more I appreciate each member more and as a collective too. Thank you for your reaction Dave, I love watching your expressions as you experience their brilliance!!

[@ChrisKing25]

It's Grammy Time, boys! That "YEEEAAHH!" right before Layne's solo. Pure, raw emotion.

[@noellewendland9205]

As a long standing metal head and metal club DJ, I couldn’t not listen to this song but once I did I had to check all reactions to it. Geoff’s arrangement phenomenal, J’s butter vocals amazing, Eli’s metal tenor voice indescribable, Caesar’s silky tone and high reach unbelievable, and Layne’s on point percussion and melodic violin lifted the song to new heights. What’s not to like? P.S. True story, I always listen to your reactions at night when everyone is asleep at home because even when you get excited your voice is still smooth and doesn’t wake anyone up (thank goodness to that)

[@aaroncoffman88]

I love seeing people like Rachel Potter, Omar and E.J. Cardona, and other great collaborators but this is the dream team. J.None, Geoff, Cesar, Eli, and Layne together is mind blowing. Every time these five are together it's epic!

[@jazzbuffalo1]

Geoff brings bass into a song that doesn't have it, Layne pulls out a violin, and everyone goes crazy. 🙃 These guys keep getting better with every song and so do the reactions.

[@faresbenchikha6620]

Not it actually has a bass line and it goes like that

[@ljk5464]

Your reaction didn't disappoint!! I thought you might pass out from the explosion from your brain! 😱🤯🥰 Layne has made a new meme...VioLayne.

[@jasonelliott66]

Dragon? Did you say dragon?? Cause he was draggin' that note across the floor dude!! Haha!! This is EPIC!!

[@ellyncarr3150]

I was soooo lowkey waiting for your reaction when Layne caught the violin and I must admit that I was NOT disappointed! 😂😂😂❤❤❤

[@phanepacc5065]

That scream part before Layne's solo had me literally on the floor

[@ChrisKing25]

I mean! That "YEEEAAHH!" Pure raw emotion.

[@Broomrider1492]

I truly believe that they are saving J. None's spot in the group. They have had him in so many things since joining the Navy.

[@meganmurdock9107]

When Geoff posted it to his IG account he said The bands back together! Brings so much hope!

[@DravenGal]

It’s a perfect lineup! ❤

[@Robert.Sheard]

They've said in the past that J will be coming back when his Navy stint is over. I hope so.

[@DravenGal]

@@Robert.Sheard Me too! I’ve kinda got the feeling that Lois McCray is correct.

[@CynicalTesuji]

I haven't had this much fun since "Hoist the Colours" came out. 😂 Yet again, VoicePlay is upping their game, and pushing the boundaries just that little bit further. If this is how they are starting the year, I can only imagine where they will go... of course, we say this every time. It's seriously a blessing to be able to watch this group's trajectory; I'm truly starting to believe that they have no limits to what they can do. And like many others, I've got to say: this is The Quintet that VoicePlay needs. The combo of J. None and Cesar with the core trio is magic.

[@jackyfriedman1963]

I totally agree. This is the complete and true Voiceplay lineup. I think its because they have no problem going out of the box with their singing and videos. They will do anything. Which makes them a cut above the rest. Awesome start to the New Year.

[@r.d.stratford106]

100% agreed. This is my VoicePlay "dream team".

[@ronsbrat525]

@@r.d.stratford106 Yes it is. I think they are doing collaborations until J None gets out of the navy. They definitely want him to rejoin and so does he. I myself don't consider him a former member. He's still a member in my eyes just on hiatus. Alot of people seem to agree.

[@r.d.stratford106]

@@ronsbrat525 I can see that, and I hope it does happen!

[@bjspeck4337]

While I love so many of the featured vocalists they've brought on, J None NEEDS to be part of this again. It is a dream team.

[@Chibihugs]

Layne freaking broke me with the violin solo! That swell of notes from Eli, JNone and Cesar to aharmonized scream, Geoff drops a bass bomb and then getting hit with surprise VioLayne!! Was not prepared!!!

[@batrn7236]

Both Layne (aka Violayne) and J. None played violin in Warriors. Great reaction!

[@whatitdodave]

Oh yeah! I must have forgot haha. Still a surprise 🤣

[@gabrielstratton1775]

Is it still acapella though? Lol who cares it's great!

[@sarahkinsey5434]

@@gabrielstratton1775 Same with Geoff's solo stuff. There's backing music but still feels acapella

[@lordqwertythepyromancer3458]

@@gabrielstratton1775 It counts as acapella because it is just one instrument part, and even when it is playing all the backing is still voices.

[@TeknonTheou2]

I was thinking the same thing... The return of Violayne.

[@centexgal]

Sometimes, I am afraid you're going to stop breathing, Dave! This is the best song from VoicePlay ever... and the best reaction from you ever! You seemed as happy as a kid on his birthday, and at the same time shocked and awed. You're awesome, and make me appreciate the music even more! Keep up the good... no - fantastic... work!

[@karrascotto200]

Layne plays the violin in the song Warriors too!! He beat boxes while doing it too. It's so cool!!!

[@nerdywordyprincess8499]

VioLayne is breaking all the reactors! Love watching you react as a fan of the original song and of Voiceplay!

[@Chibihugs]

It was exactly that part that broke me too! I was not prepared!

[@MarieDesJardin]

"There's nothing else that can compare." True, Dave. Our boys slayed this one.

[@bjspeck4337]

This was my first exposure to Metallica in my 72 years and I love it. VoicePlay is SO good it's unbelievable. I was so happy when VioLayne caught his violin for I love Warriors with Layne playing. Now I have another one to listen to (admittedly not as long a run as Warriors but still...). Nothing else matters - what a great song.

[@johndeeregreen4592]

Older Metallica is actually incredible. Their lyricism and musicianship is world-class, to say the least. This is one of Metallica's softer, radio friendly songs. VoicePlay really did an amazing job at doing this song a cappella. The chord progression of the song is quite simple, but has some complex intricacies that VoicePlay captured very well.

[@IrishFish]

"Somebody got to get texted" I feel you, Dave. I did everything I could NOT to wake up my family when I first saw this, just wanting to share it with someone!

[@gonzalezfamily5157]

RIght?! Nothing else matters! Electric violin! This group packs crazy level talent - and they interchange members so smoothly with equally amazing performances. Always awed!

[@DavideBaroni]

I was WAITING for the moment in which Layne would grab the violin, to see your reaction to it. And your reaction was the one I was expecting... You reminded me of your reaction to "Fus ro dah!" 😁. I really enjoyed your reaction. And I LOVED the song, even if it's from the "metal" world, which I usually don't like. But they did their usual trick: respected the original while making it their own. And the result is a Masterpiece. 🙂 See you next time! 🙂

[@juliannagoodwin2875]

What I love most about when Layne plays his violin is that he’s most likely still beatboxing while playing. Sure there might be a layer of beatboxing in the mix, but when they perform this live and they do this song, I bet you he will still beatbox while playing. I love him so much. Such an underrated member of VP.

[@candilunsford2878]

I really think they're going to break me this year. Sheer perfection all the way around. They said at the premiere that Eli didn't sing it quite as it was written and with the high notes he did it to himself. The rock god made the right call--so fantastic. Geoff is THE arranging and bass drop master, VioLayne is amazing (check out Warriors by Imagine Dragons for another taste), J and Cesar killing the harmonies and one epic song. Yep, VP is going to kill me.

[@ARMfanat1]

Experiencing the emotional impact of a song that moves you immensely…then needing to share that with someone who also feels music intensely. You are doing so with all of us; you just don’t know it til you read the comments. We are *all* there with you. Thank you for being you. ❤️

I would say that Metallica would be extremely proud of them for this, this is the greatest "Nothing Else Matters" cover I've ever heard.. And brother my reactions were the mirror image of yours and I'm pretty sure I had a spinal stroke with Geoff's super lower gargle growl..lol keep up the great work What it do!!🖖😎

[@bencowles2105]

voice play just created a masterpiece for their collection of music. this has definitely set the bar a lot higher for everyone in the industry. pure auditory ecstasy.

Thank you for another priceless reaction to Voice Play. It is also a pleasure to see your reactions. They are a fantastic group. Unstoppable, unbeatable & unbelievably talented.

[@The_Angry_Wrench_Speaks]

Omg. When they tossed the violin to Lane, I KNEW what your reaction would be. Just like the fact that I loved your reaction to The Dragonborn Comes because you knew what the heck was going on, the same here. Your knowledge and admiration of Metallica show in your reaction here. Very well done, love it.

[@katthor7311]

Dave! I swear you and I are kindred spirits. I always love how you describe things in your reactions, but this one I swear we were the same person. I watched this and was so overcome with emotion that I knew I had to tell somebody or I was going to burst. However, I live alone. So what did I do? I called my mom. 🤣 I talked her ear off for like 30 minutes, but she was very obliging as she is used to behavior like that from me. I'm glad you enjoyed this one. Your reaction was the one I was looking forward to the most, and it was as epic as I imagined it would be. Thanks for being a reactor and sharing this experience with us. 😁

[@paulcooley6287]

Thanks for sharing this with us Dave! I am right there with you on how amazing this was. It is my new favorite VoicePlay for sure. Nice dad joke BTW with the Nothing Else Matters bit.

[@toryistatertot5394]

Your headrest says it all! We all had to "RESPAWN" after this one! This is the first video I catch after your channel was rescued and wow what an epic reaction to an epic cover of an Epic song.🤯

[@randiskye4444]

I love how giddy you got for this song! You gave a high compliment when you said you didn't want to unpause bc you didn't want the song to be over. I hope your headphones weren't harmed in the making of this video! 😄😄 I never thought a VioLayne solo would break you! You are so awesome, your love of music comes out always, which is why you need to keep sharing your reactions with us! You would explode otherwise. If your mom is around my age, she probably will appreciate this cover. Geoff has a talent for arranging songs in such a way that they stay true to the original soul of the music, but he adds just the perfect amount of tweaks to make it fresh again, and so it appeals to a wide audience. That's talent. Loved your reaction, now go put it on loop for a few hours like we all did😅🎶🎵!!

[@InstrucTube]

LMFAO 8:59 "I gotta text my mom or something, bro." Gotta love those existential moments when you're listening to something and you're just like "Am I alive? What year is it? Where am I? What is happening right now?!" Also there's a lot of "Is anyone else hearing this?!" in there as well. Which again is totally understandable. Also "Put my body bag in a body bag." I have to say I've never thought of that before as an expression, but it's completely justified and relatable.

[@dorothytaylor7369]

He’s hilarious 😀😀😀😀

[@darlenefragale6550]

Thanks! Can you think about doing Dan Vasc’s American Trilogy or Sounds of Silence? Maybe they’re too “tame”🤣🤣

[@celticwolfsong1373]

There is just something about music that can't be put into words. For those of us that are truly music people it goes even deeper. I know most people say it's the universal language but I honestly think it goes deeper than that. To be able to share a moment with hundreds of thousands of people at the exact same moment whether it's at a concert hearing it live or with like these reactions videos, because in that moment nothing else really matters. All that matters is that song, that note, that lyric for that many people it's such a powerful thing.

[@lkayh]

Someone will probably get around to killing the magic on that violin catch, but it won’t be me. I just love hearing/seeing Layne play-that’s magic in itself. J can play as well. If you haven’t checked out Warriors, make sure to do it. Qofy just dropped his headphones at the end and walked off set. NOTHING to say. LOL. And Dave, I totally get it. It is SOOOOOOOOO frustrating to hear a song like this and not have ANYONE who loves music the way you do to share it with. My stepsis was an opera singer but she won’t engage. And way too many of my friends would hear this and just say, “very nice.” 😖 UGH!! I need to make a friend who geeks out on this stuff so we can geek out together!

[@musiclovingnurse2802]

I’m a 54 year old RN and all my friends just roll their eyes when I play my A Cappella!! They think they’re humoring me by letting me play 1 or 2 songs during the evening when I’d just as soon play Voiceplay on repeat!!! We can geek out together!!! 😂

[@stephanieskelton7530]

you have my FAVOURITE reaction to Layne's violin!! I mean, the WHOLE song (and group, let's be honest) is incredible, but your reaction to the violin was amazing!

[@janetdw]

I’ve been (im)patiently waiting for your reaction. Knowing you’re a fan of the original made it sweeter. I’m old and pretty much missed this whole era. When I heard, I listened to the original, and was surprised at how much I enjoyed it, although I do find the style generally just too loud for my taste. I was anxious to see what they did with it and I think that they probably captured the spirit of the song in their own style. It may not be theatrical, but certainly has drama! Such a gorgeous tribute to a great song. My favorite part is when it swells and they rock it out and then Layne uses the Force to summon his violin. I also love that we got to hear him in three modes: singing, percussion and violin. I don’t think it will edge out Hoist the Colours for my favorite, but it is pretty darn close

[@ghostbeetle2950]
