I Was SO RIGHT About This One!! | Seven Nation Army - VoicePlay | Acapella Reaction/Analysis

[@nerdywordyprincess8499]

Mom...Voiceplay broke Mortius again. Lol. Great reaction and lots of fun consonant and vowel combinations. Voiceplay gets you overheated most of the time anyway, so recording this in a hot room may have just been too hot to handle. Lol.

[@valeriephelps8017]

[@karenponchak5304]

The bullet casing would obviously be added post, but I would say the gun cocking is very likely all Geoff, as was the gasp you liked in the first verse. Layne and Geoff definitely blurred the lines between themselves in this one.

[@SusanaBergen-wo9lu]

The gun cocking also could've been Layne

[@ThatoneGamer371]

The gun casing could've been vocals I've seen the sound made by beatbox artist before

[@jenfraley7637]

Two of my favorite things in this song were Geoff's bass line sliding right into Layne's throat bass and Anthony's high riff up to Eli continuing it at the high note at the end (the oooooo, rip it off). Loved your reaction! Sorry the heat is crazy. Hopefully you can get your AC fixed soon!

[@Traci2000]

Those two things were my favorite too. That and the sound of Eli dragging that bat. Amazing!

[@9474sammus]

i feel like we dont hear layne do throat bass all that much but its amazing the mix choice they made was perfect

[@Z-LightfulMemories]

A broken Mortius. Gotta love it! And as far as Layne in this...here's how I imagine it went. No one: "You can't have that many sounds in one song. It would be too much. Layne: "Hold my beer."

[@shadowsbane877]

"carrot" fixed that for ya. :)

[@Mark_Agamotto1313_Smith]

Geoff: Hold mine as well!

[@Someone-dv7hw]

I think this one was a Goeff arrangement... and I saw a comment that Peaches was Layne's "revenge" for it - which idk if it's true or not but it would check out in terms of what in the unholy they were pushing each other to do in those arrangements😂 Well, for us the audience it's a win-win either way.

[@Badger77722]

"Sounds that no human has ever made before" seems to be a common thread, both in Mortius' reaction, and in the noises that Geoff and Layne are making in the video! I think this video may have set a record for malfunctions of Mortius.exe.

[@Mark_Agamotto1313_Smith]

Mortius.exe just straight up CRASHHED the hard drive!

[@kaleighhenderson7354]

I am very sick right now, as well as drowning in school, work, and life stuff, and to say the least this has not been a very easy week for me. This reaction, however, is the first thing that brought me joy and a brief distraction from all that in a while. Your joy is like much-needed sunshine, Mortius. Thank you ❤

[@Cordelia53]

I cannot stop watching reactors getting broke by this song...this song broke me as well. Geoff Arranged this one and they just seem to get better with each cover they do!! I just do not know how they do it. There are no words at all. And Anthony has the voice of an angel with all those runs...OMG!!! Loved your reaction Mortius...all those vowels and consonants. lmao

[@parkerbrown-nesbit1747]

Eli hits SIX E5s! Layne is being called a veceliraptor (sp) by What it do Dave. This was shot in a disused mall in the same centre where Pattycake Productions is. They had to cover up some of the graffiti before they could shoot.

[@CrimFerret]

I'm with you on that bit by Eli. Yeah, I can hit that in head voice, certainly not in chest with some vocal fry added in. Geoff gets a lot of the attention, but I've been more amazed by Eli's singing for a while. I thought he was phenomenal a year ago. Then he just keeps getting better by leaps and bounds. I'd love it if he did some solo work like Geoff does.

[@ericmorrison278]

I wanna hear them do Supermassive Blackhole by Muse. Its already just a minefield of complexity. It would be such a spectacular cover for VoicePlay.

[@Gael4ce]

I think you need to have someone ride in the room when you’re recording this to help you out by hitting your con-alt-del. 😁 Anthony blindsided you perfectly, lol. You figured you knew all the punches they were gonna pull, closed your eyes and started grooving and BAM. You’re so used to Geoff being the brain breaker that you’d forgotten to watch out for the tenors. 😂 I loved the way they slid the lead from Anthony to Eli where Eli came in on the same note. Don’t know why that hit me as so cool but it did. Others have said it; I’m going to say it. You need to react to their new short “Peaches”. It’s from the Mario movie. You need to sit down for it. I won’t spoil it, I hope no one does, but it’s not Geoff’s bass that’s gonna drop you in this one. Everybody gets a good chunk and that’s all Im saying. 😊

When you go back and watch this again...the LOOKS Cesar gives. My lanta Cesar was working that camera! 😍

[@justiniglesias3474]

The gun clip effect was probably post production, but Layne could probably come close. Speaking of gun sound effects, Michael Winslow might have something to say about that. For those of us who watched Police Academy, you know what I am talking about 😂

[@iamsquatty]

Yesssssss I knew this one would blow your mind. There's just so much happening during the whole song and Cesar is an entire mood that is just perfection 💜

[@sarahdzeima5102]

Cesar is just SERVING in this video...

[@hwyla4416]

Great reaction! They always are! Suggestion for sleeping during a heat wave: Put a folded flat sheet in your freezer to ready it for sleeping under. I suggest 2, so you and your wife will each have your own. Makes a huge difference.

[@bjspeck4337]

It took me several tries to understand what I was seeing. Each fellow came in via a specific route. The cameras pick them up but then they split those entrances into 3 or 4 pieces (Cesar starts low on the escalator, next view of that picks up where it left off, and so on. Each of the guys had the same type of pieces.) It was easiest to see on Cesar's progress up the escalator. Layne was doing things with what he found on the floor - against a wall, throwing the pipe. I also saw you singing in the VoicePlay Appreciation Project giving VoicePlay a tribute to Just Sing. I wanted to know how you got Cesar's shirt!

[@chelliespider]

Someone please reboot Mortius 😂❤

[@BCS_guy]

Mortius/Mason, you may want to double check the pitch at 17:10. I think Anthony is a bit higher than where you have him on the staff. If I'm not mistaken, he starts at an E5 and goes up to a B5. Either way, really impressive. Great reaction!

[@totoro123]

I was wondering that... B4is normal high tenor range. Pavarotti's high Cs were just a semitone/half-step higher than B4

I think I a) have watched this video on quick-turnaround repeat more than any other VP song, and b) also watched a wider variety of reactors reacting to it than any other. Because, like you, I need to work at it more to even understand what I'm hearing. And Layne has broken every reactor with his performance in this one. You are not alone.

[@tessasilberbauer6219]

A meltdown during a meltdown... that was hilarious but coming from an area that regularly goes above 35C in summer, I bow to your commitment. I'd start sweating just looking at a layered uniform like that. Never mind the tie. Is there a summer tie knot ? As ever, well done Mason, you're awesome at your job. And, of course, the song itself is phenomenal. I can't get over how easily they bounce the melody or basslines to each other. Eish.

[@AkiraDragonborne]

At 5:07 when you hear the iconic beat semmingly change from Geoff to Layne, are you sure that's not actually still Geoff? I've heard that Geoff used to be both bass and beatboxer for their group and taught Layne how, who then perfected it to the level he's at now. It wouldn't surprise me if that whole bit was still possibly Geoff dipping into his own beatboxing. So I ask, are you sure that is Layne?

I just recently found you thru your work survival notebook video, so nice to see a new video from you! I’ve used a hobonichi aven myself for 3 years, as I also like to do things sequentialy and have the overview of tasks. I find that there isn’t really enough space in weekly columns, se recently switched to a Take A note A5 hourly weekly on 4 pages, so each day has half a page. Also means there is enough space, so I don’t need the dailies. Maybe its something that could suit you aswell? Not much space for photos though. What do you do with tasks that needs to be done on a future day, but you know that there will be other to dos mixed in between? I struggle with what to do with those, as I want them organized in the order that I need to do them. Hope it makes sense 😅

[@KaaSerpent]

I believe that when Anthony goes up to that B4, if you pay attention after that, Eli starts on the same note, but with a whole different timbre.

[@delord1619]

Mortius, did you ever watch Elizabeth Zharoff's, Charismatic Voice interview with Laine? The interview happened back when the light at the top end of the rabbit hole was still visible. Laine gave Liz and the viewers a tour of his electronic/software suite and what it could do for post production work. I've got a sneaking suspicion he's modifying and layering like mad in a few key spots in this song.

I keep saying it but I really do think that VP are aliens - how else could they possibly make such unearthly sounds?? 😵‍💫 Obviously there's some effects added to their voices during production but even so....... 🤷‍♀The last few videos in particular from them they just keep raising the bar! Apparently Layne was using an inward breath bass technique quite a bit in this and he can get as low as Geoff by using it. Someone somewhere said there seemed to have been a bit of blending of the pair of them going on for lows and vocal perc - I have no musical knowledge (other than knowing what I like!) so I have no idea if that's correct. Whatever was going on this was a fabulous offering from the guys. I'm not a fan of The White Stripes or this song generally but I love this; the highs, the lows, the vocal perc, the runs from Anthony and the sass from Cesar - what an awesome combination! Hope you get your air con sorted soon and things become a bit more bearable for you.
