LOCK ME UP!!!!!!!! Blind reaction to Geoff Castellucci - Folsom Prison Blues

[@LadyGreensleeves33]

Book-reading Geoff is a vibe 😂 Just a big eye roll, fine, okay, we'll sing again.

[@Gael4ce]

And he looks good in those glasses too.

[@Wildecat10]

@@Gael4ce Those are his regular reading glasses.

[@Gael4ce]

@@Wildecat10 I know. He just doesn’t wear them in vids or in the video chats that much.

[@Mark_Agamotto1313_Smith]

Obligatory offering to the gods of the Algorithm.

[@lauragraves4342]

Nah, Geoff just BECAME the new God of the algorithm. He's now accepting his own new offerings of prison pardons, six shooters, and a penguin.

[@moriahwhite1188]

We need more scruffy Geoff!

[@marshayoung9387]

I agree 💗

[@huldradraco]

Geoff is used to arranging for VoicePlay, so he always arranges for several voice parts. bass, baritone, tenor 2 and tenor 1. so he arranges for all those voices and then records all the parts himself, and puts them together like he would with a VP arrangement. and he picks out all the specific instrument plug ins he wants for each song (which sometimes can take him hours and days), including all special noises and effects, and records himself playing them on his keyboard.

[@rulab]

Geoff learned to play the Harmonica when he worked at Universal as Elwood Blues (The Blues Brothers)...he said he was a bit rusty but so used to it he was able to pick it back up. I am so glad I watched the BTS for this one. If you haven't yet had a chance...you really REALLY should... 😉 just...have some cold water to spray yourself with!!! LOL Loved watching your reaction to this one DJ, the happy smiles and the "wtf was that" looks both... #DJAntlers

[@reallollabunny]

that BTS, though, am I right? Kathy outdid herself with what she left in that footage - I honestly couldn't believe my eyes at first and had to rewind a couple of times :P that woman is spoiling us with the "insider view" she is giving us

[@DravenGal]

Is the BTS on Patreon?

[@reallollabunny]

@@DravenGal yep

[@ilonadever8249]

After he just did I See Fire, where each clone had a specific vocal range, he did this. Every Geoff sang tenor, baritone, and bass, including the super duper low parts. He is just amazing. He was supposed to do pull ups, which is his go to exercise, but the bridge overhead was not as intact as they thought going in.

[@barbarakennedy2667]

Another Geoff talent revealed. Yes, he was really playing the harmonica.

[@reallollabunny]

DJ, if you think this is sexy, you should def watch the BTS of this video ;) also, the push-ups were initially planned to be pull-ups but there was nothing for Geoff to hang from. could you even imagine....? yep, our boy is learning fast how to push our buttons :D

[@vvoof2601]

I'm almost 100% sure the lowest note we've heard from Geoff is Valhalla's B0 which was FIFTEEN SECONDS LONG!!!!

[@Juilene1965]

Its so hard to focus on the amazing, talented vocals sometimes because he's just so fun to look at! LOL....Eye candy with a killer freakin' voice. I'm down for it. Geoff in a prison uniform makes me want to become a prison guard lol

[@karenponchak5304]

Last year, for his birthday, he posted clips of him doing one pull up for every year. (Ten at a time, plus two.)

[@janetdw]

There is also another video (at least I think it’s a different video) of him doing push-ups with William on his back. When William started saying “more daddy more” I had to laugh. Such a typical kid. Instead Geoff suggested they traded places

[@alyssadaniels7841]

He was hitting F#1s and that is his lowest chest note, which is why it sounds so low and resonant! He obviously goes lower than that with subharmonics but sometimes the raw chest power makes it seem lower than the cleaner sub sound.

[@NathanJ-E]

He's gone lower in chest, just some may not count it

[@AsheryW]

From left to right we had Jeff (05333), Geoff (43633), Daryl (32795), and Jeoph (53674). Goff was either in the background or, based on Way Down, he was probably the warden lol. Another great reaction ❤ can’t wait to see if you can handle the VP one… it may just kill you lol

[@Lynn_M867]

Someone commented on Patreon that Goff was on the balcony and and the other two Clones had to be Larry and “my other brother Daryl” 🤣

[@DarthKoonstyle]

Goff would have been 04333 if visible.... The numbers are all based off of telephone or old-school cell phone multi-tap, their names spell out those numbers [ 1=[VM] | 2= [abc ] | 3= [ def ] | 4=[ ghi ] | 5= [ jkl ] | 6= [ mno ] | 7= [ pqrs ] | 8= [ tuv ] | 9= [ wxyz ] | 0= [ _ ] ]

[@Charity322]

I thought that Goff was the one reading the book, because he had glasses.

[@AsheryW]

@@Charity322 if it was Goff his number would have been 04633

[@lkreinmiller-author]

I wonder if he introduced more Geoffs in anticipation of doing a Geoff choir.

[@barbarakennedy2667]

I would not be at all surprised.

[@sarawlindgreen3115]

Nothing wrong with Geoff breaking the internet 😉🥰 An "Inception" to describe what Geoff is doing to your brain (and a lot of other folks) is one of the best analogy I've heard 😄

[@katthor7311]

Oh man what I would give to see you watch this bts video. 🤣 IYKYK

[@katthor7311]

@@SPNQueen well there was no air conditioning and it was really hot in there....... 😏

[@janetdw]

I think that would be an absolutely awesome Patreon perk hint hint hint!🤩😳🫠

[@christinestromberg4057]

Yes Kathy modified the shirts - adding the numbers which are the names of his clones in code. She also did the filming and anything else that needed doing in situ. Including closing the cell door at the end. They're such a fantastic couple. To the best of my knowledge Geoff prerecords all the singing first, adds the music accompaniement, then films each version of himself lip syncing, Then the magic happens on computer. I know little about that part of it. When they first saw the empty prison it had a walkway across where the Geoffs were standing and he planned to do pullups on it, but when they went to film it had goine, so he had to change to push ups. :)

[@DennisKovacich]

Kathy closed the door at the end? That makes me wonder if she played around with pretending not to let him back out! 😈

[@shirleykarr560]

​@@DennisKovacichcamera was still rolling, so we saw him push the door open again right away. He did NOT like being in there.

[@DarthKoonstyle]

Code = Multi-tap from phone pad. :D

[@leslieholland7843]

Not sure which is better, the singing, the working out, or the reading. 7 Geoffs is fabulous. Excellent reaction!

[@candilunsford2878]

Mmmmm......love me some bad boy Geoff. I'm waiting to watch you loose your mind on the low notes since he lulls you into a false sense of security by starting in bari/tenor. THX sound at it's best. LOL

[@OanaFlorina-i5i]

I'm not a fan of country music, and I never liked Johnny Cash, but man, now I really can't stop humming this song! It's stuck in my head, and I keep watching Geoff's video, over and over again. I'm just glad I'm not the only one blown away! 🤩

[@nicolaidavi495]

As I watched this after the release, my first thought was oh boy DJ is gonna melt. 🤣

[@shelleeroe7305]

Haha I saw this music video during my lunch hour and wasn’t ready for what I saw. Oh man it picked up out of my dour mood, that’s for sure.

[@janetdw]

I can remember when Johnny Cash went to the prison and that song was on every radio station for a while. I understand what you’re saying about the original. It isn’t a monotone precisely but it’s very simple and repetitive on its own. I think that having the accompanying vocals that change in pitch really adds to the song. It also really highlights (lowlights?) those low notes so they can be appreciated and all their glory. I don’t remember him doing a video of how he records for himself, but there is a really good (and very amusing) video of how he arranges for VoicePlay. Since he arranges for four and five part harmonies, the techniques used are the same (except that he has to add the musical accompaniment and decide which plug-ins to use. (Also he doesn’t have Eli yelling at him, lol. ) I was curious as to how you go about renting a prison so went to Google and pretended I lived in Orlando and wanted to rent a prison. All I got were studios with prison decor. I suspect that his little buddy Layne probably has some sort of nefarious contact, lol. And you really don’t want to go to that prison. There was no air conditioning and it was over 90° with the famous Florida humidity. On the way out they got stuck behind a car that was apparently parked and detained for an additional 10 minutes or so. I would imagine that was a little anxiety producing 🤯. And I REALLY think it should be a Patreon perk that you do a reaction to the BTS. Because we all want to see you react to certain parts of it!

[@joymed987]

I believe they said it was in Vero Beach

[@janetdw]

@@joymed987 I did go back and watch the BTS and yes that’s what they said. No wonder I couldn’t find it when I checked Orlando. But it’s so amazing to me that you can actually go online and rent an entire prison! We live in a very strange world!

[@kandacek63]

I agree. Folsom is not one of my favorites of JC, nor was my first viewing of Geoff’s cover, but this is my 4th viewing/listen and it’s definitely growing on me.

[@Gael4ce]

He does his solo stuff the way they do the VoicePlay stuff. Each part is arranged ahead of the time. Then each part is recorded to a click track. Then all the parts are pulled together, they shoot the vid, and remove the click track. And re: being locked up in that prison….you and me both kiddo.

[@thewrenchreviews9986]

Each of the Geoff clones has a different lat number on their shirts. Details!

[@janetdw]

And I loved that Kathy took all that time to use a Sharpie to change the threads on the buttons from red to black. None of us would’ve noticed at all, but… Details! Not to mention cutting the sleeves off one of the shirts 🤩

[@67phoebe]

As soon as I heard this I knew I had to watch your reaction. I knew it would melt you.

Keep in mind that Home Free did it when they couldn't get together, recorded in their homes seperately, then sent to their editor. Geoff had the mighty Kathy to help, as well as six clones to help him.

not a bass btw 💀
