MY NEW FAVORITE!! | GHOST RIDERS IN THE SKY - Geoff Castellucci | Saucey Reacts

[@kezmet5998]

Of course you've heard Geoff with instruments before - although they're generally not so much to the forefront. Think of the strings in Misty Mountains and Castamere, and you even SAW him playing the keyboard in High and Dry! 🤣

[@shirleykarr560]

Not to mention the keyboard in Blackbird and an actual piano in Shenandoah. We've heard him use guitar plug-ins for Country Roads, Bare Necessities, and Saddle Up ... but I think this is the first time using steel guitar or slide guitar. Both are hallmarks of western music, distinct from country music.

[@antknee6]

Wait! It's possible SauceyDad has a clone of his own doing the other Geoff Castelluci solo reactions and he just gave it away.

[@delord1619]

At the end of Bear Necessities, Geoff shouted out to some software company for the plug-ins they'd provided. Since then we've heard them used with basses off key honky tonk piano in Monster Mash( that could have been a special 'voice' on his electric piano.) But he's not bashful about using plug-ins and other tech in his solo work.

[@stephaniegeer1691]

Also,you must gut have watched him sing Shenandoah in which he plays the piano,or in Black bird in which he also plays the keyboard.😄if you havn't checked either of those out yet,please do.both are fantastic!😃thanks! You might enjoy his cover of Monster Mash or the Headless Horseman for Halloween!!they are both incredibly phenomenal!!!😄✌ out dude.

[@laundrygoddess4]

That last yippee Yi yo is just so clear and smooth. His upper registrar is just gorgeous

[@judydavis7993]

I said before, " Beautiful voice for an Italian cowboy. "🤠 What a great version of a classic song. Geoff really outdid himself on this one. Thanks again for a great reaction. ✌❤🤠

[@johnbattles1002]

What they use to call "spaghetti westerns"? Lol! Yes, indeed, Geoff out-does himself, it seems, with each new release!

[@carinarodebak9419]

He has given them names. Started already in Way Down. From left Jeff, Daryl Geoff, Goff(apparently lefthanded) and Jeoph. They are listed by those names as back-up vocals in the description. Why Daryl? Bc he looks like a Daryl according to Geoff.

[@christinestromberg4057]

Geoff frequently uses plugins to give some instrumentation. Not usually this much though. He's excelled himself this time.:) I love the guy. Time? He started this in June but due to various holdups had to put it on the back burner. And yes he spent a long time and at one point felt he needed to redo it, but Kathy put her foot down and said they weren't going to start a tradition of that, after doing it last year. :)

[@Badger77722]

I loved the little "discussion" they had on the BTS video between Kathy and Geoff on that point. Geoff is a smart man, he knows when to agree with his wife!

[@janetdw]

This one is a double whammy as while the video is spooky season perfect, the audio can be enjoyed all year long. It isn’t what I would normally look for in a playlist, but it is so good that I’ll be listening to it year round. In addition to recording vocals, transforming into ghosts and filming, there was a lot of post production. In the BTS, he explained that each 3d render to remove “artifacts” due to the green screen issues and Eli’s amazing visuals took hours and hours for the computers to process. For each of the 5 characters. And it took many tries. He was showing attempt 13 for one cowboy - that is a lot of time and effort. But the final product is amazing. And amazing is what the VP Halloween video is as well. Rick Underwood and team really got a workout between this, Hall of the Mountain King and the new Halloween song. Even watching Layne being transformed, it is hard for me to recognize him. So crazy-spooky!! And the song is very creepy…. And I can’t get it out of my head 🤯.

[@shirleykarr560]

Possibly the biggest shock for me was seeing Layne clean shaven. Lol!

[@randiskye4444]

I just don't care, I have GRYMG in my playlist year-round, Geoff made it so much more than a Christmas carol for me.

[@ilonadever8249]

Great reaction, SauceyDad!! Kathy said once that if she wants to find Geoff, she doesn't do anything. She just waits because if he's not singing, he will start soon. I can't decide which is my favorite part - either the yippe yi ay that you went back to or the whistling. I love to hear a man whistle!

[@StephanieGraham0129]

Loved your reaction for this! He had started this project back in August but had to put it on hold. He released Rains of Castamere instead. The reason it took so long amongst other things was the green screen editing. Eli did all of the background work and lighting. And of course it was filmed at Pattycake. Kathy helped with the filming. Can’t wait for you to hear the new one from VP! 😊

[@jackyfriedman1963]

They all have names now. Left to right... Jeff, Daryl, Geoff, Goff and Jeoph. This is awesome. This was filmed at Pattycake Productions. Eli helped him with lighting and green s screen. This the first time he's used it in his videos so was a learning experience for him. Great reaction

[@dwfarr]

Geoff hit your sweet spot. Great vocals and ghosts. What’s not to love?

[@johnbattles1002]

You mentioned Layne's part in the production of this, and that is true. But to give credit squarely where credit is due, Geoff's wife Kathy does the lion's share of the make-up and costuming! She's a genius of detail and realism!

[@alan-freeman]

I guess you now need to react to Monster Mash as well.

[@M11969]

Yes, I concur.

[@suzyb1701]

I didn't realise he hadn't yet. Shame on you Nick, that needs rectifying asap!

[@SunnyOutlook]

Loved your reaction! I love everything Geoff does. He tops himself each time he drops a new video/song.

[@carolfranklin]

This video was a difficult one tbh he started work on it in June, the green screen wasn't working so Eli stepped in with these effects. All Geoff's solos except Sixteen Tons have instrumentation. Rick Underwood does the incredible make up. You replayed my best bit! I tweeted Geoff 'this is my new favourite might as well have that tattooed at this point'. He threatened to start again but Kathy said no they did that last year with Monster Mash.

[@u_bogi8485]

Sixteen tons has instruments too. The bass strings are not him

[@CynicalTesuji]

There are definitely strings of some sort in the background of 16 Tons, and some drum as well, although they're both very minimal and well-blended into the mix.

[@theironherder]

Just to pile on, you are wrong. Geoff's cover of 16 tons has instrumental accompaniment. Clean your ears, put on head phones and listen again.

[@carolfranklin]

@@theironherder nothing wrong with my ears or my headphones I just made a mistake from memory

[@randiskye4444]

@@theironherder Take it somewhere else. You can correct someone's mistake without being a jerk about it. No need to "pile on" and get snide.

[@sallycripe2697]

Yeah! Glad you're back to what I consider some of the good stuff! Thanks, Saucey. Love it, and you. Peace out, Saucey!

[@judithboggs2196]

Lol....oh, Saucey! This is far and away the best rendition EVER of this song...and I have heard it for at least five decades and countless artists. Well known country legends, as a matter of fact. Pretty sure even they would jaw-drop hearing Geoff. And you! Oh you are priceless 😂😂😂😂🥰

[@randiskye4444]

Geoff always has instrumentation in his solo work (it differentiates it from the group's work as a Capella). It's often more subtle than in this work. He plays piano but uses various plug-ins in much of his work. As far as his clock management, he believes in walking away from a project when he gets stuck and letting his mind work through it in the background. He has said it works for him, then also he has said he makes the piece the best he can in the time he has alloted for it.

[@M11969]

I commented on this video that Geoff owns Halloween. He picks great songs, does them perfectly.

[@acorrado5529]

Thanks for your reaction! Voice Play recently dropped "Hall Of The Mountain King" and have another one coming out that is amazing (I saw it on Patreon ). Don't forget Halloween is coming and Voice Play and Geoff have some great ones for the season. Also, Omar Cardona is on this season of "The Voice" (Omar's blind audition is on You Tube and is amazing!) We would have like to see Omar as a permanent Voice Play member but are very excited for him and hope he wins.

[@dorisgardner-mccraw4723]

This song was originally written and recorded by Stan Jones in the late 1940s. Many people have recorded this classic, but Geoff added a wonderful update.

[@fabianamercedezortiz7631]

Desde Argentina..amo a Jeff... y a tue reacciones... me encanta tu forma de reaccionar... un abrazo desde el sur!!

[@bartonbagnes4605]

I have always loved this song, especially The Sons Of The Pioneers version. That's why I suggested it, though I don't know if I was the first to do so. He did an awesome job, definitely one of the best.

[@reflexxuns767]

I listened to this when it first dropped and I have joyfully had it "stuck" in my head ever since! Thanks for your reaction, Saucey!

[@Broomrider1492]

Put it on a loop as I did. Never gets old. So many times.

[@melissarumack9095]

I actually like this cover more than The Man in Blacks' version. As others have mentioned, Geoff took a lot of time on this one. It took a lot of work and learning on his part. As to instrumentation... basically all of his solo work has it to some degree or another. This one just has it in, perhaps a more noticeable way.

[@sunnysidesofblue]

"My eardrums are aroused" is now going to be my go-to description of the Geoff Castellucci effect. Thank you for not cutting that out! XD

[@tari6085]

It's so good to see someone loving the exact same part of the song that I do. The whole song is great but that one part is incredible.

[@caroleehunt8692]

OMG.....this is a fantastic Johnny Cash Cover that Geoff did. I love this version. Geoff's voice is incredible for the song. Love love love it ❤️ way to go Geoff. @sauceydad your reaction to this is awesome. Love your channel and your reactions. I look forward to more from you. Love ya....xoxo ❤️ 😍 💖

[@robinhatcher8021]

Listen to him do Shenandoah. It's gorgeous.

[@nightthornkvala94132]

Some songs just call for instruments. Like Home Free's Devil Went Down to Georgia and Born in the USA, this one just really wouldn't have worked without it.

[@RevolutioXxNx]

I listen to this song/video EVERY DAY at least 2 or 3 times a day. So amazing

[@barbarakennedy2667]

Go SaucyDad, we are right there with you. Saddle up.

[@jackyfriedman1963]

Most times it takes Geoff and Voiceplay a couple weeks from start to release to KZbin to do a video. However. This Geoff started in June. He was having Alot of problems with it so he set it aside and did The Rains of Castamere instead. He picked it back up and of August. Was doing ok til filming. His backdrop didn't arrive in time so he called Eli to help him with lighting and green screen as he'd never done green screen before. Everything went smooth until he was keying the characters (making them transparent). Nothing was working. Night and day he worked on it. Finally a week before he released it to the public he released it to patreon. He said that Sixteen Tons was only a week start to finish. Same with Big John. Otherwise a couple weeks.

[@suzyb1701]

Great reaction as always Nick, thank you! Hearing and seeing in the bts's what goes into these videos, particularly this one, just makes me love and appreciate everything Geoff does even more, if that's possible. This has always been a favourite fun family song and Geoff just made it new and exciting and without any particularly big bass drops! 🤠💜

[@edithdavis2848]

I had two favorites for this song Marty Robbins and Johnny Cash, now there is Three, Geoff. Geoff often has instruments.

[@colleenleavitt1777]

Yippee Yi Aye! 🤠🐂 This is his best work yet...I absolutely loved this!! I've watched it more times than I have fingers and toes! 😆🤣

[@johnjacobsen619]

It's your favorite.... till his next release!!! Happened to me every single time 😁

[@jackyfriedman1963]

In a chat one time with Voiceplay someone asked them "if they graduated college what would they be doing?" Everyone answered with the subject they were studying. Geoff was last. His answer? "Still singing. I love to sing so that's this is what I'd be doing."

[@Robert.Sheard]

Geoff is definitely a perfectionist. I think he did 80 takes of the last note in Way Down before he was satisfied.

[@jackyfriedman1963]

Voiceplay has a new video coming out soon. Probably this weekend. It is absolutely fantastic and ghostly.

[@SBQDawn]

Great reaction Nick. HF drops their new one tomorrow ! bring tissues

[@bobharp3492]

Great reaction and Geoff is a talent god

[@trishaurvan9439]

The VoicePlay Halloween video drops tomorrow!

[@Elisplayhous1231]

Wohoo daddio!!

[@mariawilliams4941]

OMG!!! totally hooked

[@lynette.]

I love this song haven't heard this version. It's a fair cover the layering is clever.

[@lynette.]

Liked the grin as you said "toodles"

[@marshayoung9387]

Thank you for another great reaction to Geoff. Please do a reaction video of Voice Plays new cover In The Hall Of The Mountain King. It was written by as classical incidental piece ( no words ) for part of the play In The Hall Of The Mountain King. The tune was used in several movies & cartoons. Voice Play put a Halloween twist to it. You have to watch it closely because things happen kind of fast so you might miss something.

[@edwardmeade]

Good cover, but I'm still partial to the 1949 Vaughn Monroe original. My dad used to play it all the time. It's been covered quite a bit: Gene Autry, Eddy Arnold, Marty Robbins, Johnny Cash etc. Glad to see it's still being covered.

[@omarsoliman2355]

A classic comedy song Ghost Chickens in the Sky - Sean Morey

[@marshayoung9387]

Voice Play just released their version of Hide & Seek ( Ding Dong ). It is the most scary Voice Play to date. Please open the door & let them in.

[@taam0015]

I love this song and great cover.

[@robertsteinmiller3098]

hi sauceydad i its robert i had to resubscribed to your channel because when i reset my computer it made me rejoin my ones i used to have awesome reaction im glad im back

[@jackyfriedman1963]

I also forgot to mention they said it takes at least an hour each person for makeup depending on how much is added.

[@jessicahedman3048]

Geoffs of the West!

[@nightthornkvala94132]

Have you reacted to Geoff's Unshaken? It features these four ghosts before they died. Just the four of them, with no "Geoff."

[@BonnieKaupp]

I always ♥ your reactions.

[@janettetippetts7942]

Fabulous!!!

[@alyssadaniels7841]

There isn’t a single one of Geoff’s songs that doesn’t use instruments 😂 they are a little heavier in the mix this time though

[@cliffmorain7215]

Geoff always uses instruments, piano-guitar-violin-drum

[@Wildecat10]

The patrons you saw in the list are just his higher level patrons.

[@travisrussell9166]

Check out his cover of monster mash, it also has music

[@tiffymcconkey]

Layne has actually arranged some of Homefree music

[@bjspeck4337]

Did you react to the Monster Mash? Piano playing Fur Elise? Blackbird? Piano. High and Dry? Piano. Misty Mountains? Cello? Shenandoah? Piano.

[@rmdewberry2482]

I would sing my way through life, too, if I had Jeff's voice and I'm a woman. 😆 No shame in the bass game!

[@johnbattles1002]

I heard Burl Ives, Johnny Cash, and Marty Robbins do their versions of this song when I was just a kid in the 60's, and I thought they were awesome! But I have to say that "Geoff x 5" is (are?) better than all three of those artists put together!

[@kmwwrench]

If you aren't dancing to this, check your pulse.

[@margiestevens2384]

You’re a perfectionist, Geoff probably is also. Fortunately for all of us is wife is a part of the production team. 😂

That feeling when you think its really good.. Then you check the credits and find: "Arranged, Produced, Filmed, Performed and Edited by Geoff Castellucci".. It's not fair :P

[@jamesigorreilly979]

This is Geoff not Voiceplay ! Geoff has his own independent channel too if your a Geoff fan check out his channel there’s more and he does readings too

[@Lego51]

Toodles 😆

[@brettsteele7386]

Don't forget Kathy his wife.

[@brettsteele7386]

You need to go back and look at his other videos because he uses instruments in pretty much all of them.

[@DanielKing-vo5fs]

the ending put me off a little when he said Ghost riders innnnnnnn, sounded a bit nazelley tbh.
