Bass Singer FIRST-TIME REACTION & ANALYSIS - Geoff Castellucci | The Rains of Castamere

[@Kronse2601]

I am pretty much in shock how nobody talks about Peter flawlessly hitting the D1 first try. :D

[@codytutor567]

At this point, I don’t think anyone is surprised by a clean D1 from Peter lol. Chest fry (from my perspective) is so much more manageable in terms of consistency, as Peter demonstrates on all of his videos! But yeah, a clean D1 is always impressive!

[@timberwolf5422]

I think it has kind of become expected nowadays. Lol.

[@YandreYak]

well, he is bass. why wouldn't he

[@letheardaw]

@@YandreYak My opinion of bass singers was ruined as a child. I had an uncle who sang bass in choir, and *everyone* praised his singing. He droned. He droned low. Yes, he got down there, but you couldn't make out a word or a syllable, it was just a low drone. Geoff and Peter completely recalibrated the difference for me between a good bass singer who seriously works on their musicality, and guys that can go low but try to fake it without the work.

[@YandreYak]

@@letheardaw can hardly phonate D1s E1s. it's just the frequency that's to low. usually A1 B1 are pronounced. big problem with the lower pitch.

[@timberwolf5422]

Can we all just take a moment to bask in the sheer GLORY that is Geoff Castellucci seated upon the Iron throne???

[@zenamen5221]

Not my thing. lol

[@matthewiam4581]

@@zenamen5221 well don't comment if it's not your thing

[@candilunsford2878]

Geoff mentioned the throne was in storage at PattyCake and nobody knew where it came from so he appropriated it. I love the different "characters" he shows here, but the Jamie clone is spot on!

[@maudglazbrooke1287]

I swear that throne only got a grey undercoat, I don't think the paint job was finished. Still available and free is not to be sneezed at.

[@ronsbrat525]

The Throne now sits in Pattycake's break room. I have a photo of Layne's daughter Doris sitting on it and Geoff's son standing next to it in the break room.

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

That ending though, my goodness! You were waiting for it and then we got it haha! Now to start season 1 episode 1…

[@Robert.Sheard]

That tone on ‘claws’ was gorgeous. Yes, the D1s are phenomenal, but his musicianship even when he’s not going subterranean is what gets me.

[@zenamen5221]

As an aside, you look a million times better, without a hat, as you are gorgeous. My husband and I watch all of your Vids. Great analysis of Geoff and what a great channel. Thank you.

[@wavelengthbh]

"Guys... It's Geoff." No need to say anything else. 👌

[@micahyjaran]

14:37 I think may have been the most shocked I've ever seen you at one of Geoff's covers-- love your reactions! Keep it up!

[@Tiewaz]

I absolutely love your reactions to (and appreciation of) Geoff's low notes. And your analysis satisfies the bit of music geek in me.

[@ilonadever8249]

I knew you couldn't resist, even if you weren''t having to wait for PTX. I never heard the song, never watched the show (I know, my bad), but it doesn't matter - it's Geoff. He is a freaking genius and I love everything he does. Thanx for your attention to detail! I am always here for Geoff and Voiceplay, as well as your work.

[@ronsbrat525]

I asked Geoff about the instruments in Patreon chat. He used Native Instruments playing a drum and violin. I was curious because of Layne being a beatboxer and playing a violin.

[@chocoholicallemand9096]

I love how you point out details I'd never notice as a non-singer, non-musician.

[@chandlercarter349]

I love your reactions to Voiceplay and Geoff. They go so in depth, like every analysis should. Keep up the amazing videos my good sir

[@AriliOpluthi]

Great video as always. I'm not mad we got a bonus Geoff analysis, tbh. I liked that you talked about how Geoff tends to build on/add to the song he's covering; I think of it as his version of variations on a theme.

[@Melisendre]

I really appreciate the little details for example like he never moves Jamies right hand. It really gives me the game of thrones feeling. I'm looking forward to your cover.

[@karenponchak5304]

He "does", once - when he puts his foot up on the throne. 🤫

[@Melisendre]

@@karenponchak5304 Ok, now I've seen it. But that was just a very small movement.😉

[@karenponchak5304]

@@Melisendre I also noticed one other oddity. Someone pointed out that his sword is on the wrong side if he can't move that arm, but if you look at the sword in "Jamie's" belt, and the sword in his hand in the middle section when he's sitting on the throne, it appears to be a shorter sword. 🤔

[@jenfraley7637]

It's rare when you make what I call the "stank face" like you did around 14:35. Thank you for rushing this reaction out so we would have one this week. I can't wait for your version of this!

[@radbrad1935]

Man that bass gang shirt is super clean. And whether by design or by accident, I feel it’s quite appropriate that the collar coloring resembles your pit vipers ^_^ love it. Edit after watching full video: the missing hat was definitely the very first thing I noticed about this video, but the cut looks good :) also I loved the explanation regarding blending with use of violin vs trumpet sounds. Great way for anyone not musically inclined to understand it, and it actually makes more sense to me too even though I was in concert/jazz bands for 5th grade all through highschool.

[@AndieO]

Loved the shirt too. The pop off blue looks so good on you.

[@shirleykarr560]

Your analysis helps me appreciate what went into Geoff's music even more. Thank you! He has talked about his midi keyboard and plug-ins, and search for particular sounds. The drums here remind me of those he used in God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen. And I vote no hat. It was nice to see you more than the merch.

[@CasperFox]

dope video, dope shirt, dope voice

[@christinestromberg4057]

I never watched GOT but Geoff has said it's worth watching for the music alone. so maybe I will at some point. It was noticable that Geoff on the right had to keep one arm still. which for Geoff is the kind of detail that sets him apart. He has said it was difficult. :) Geoff has said he uses samples a lot in his videos, spending hours to find just the right one.

[@ms_scribbles]

Oh, absolutely. Ramin Djawadi is a friggin' genius. He's also done the music for Westworld.

[@maeco7]

First, wonderful reaction and analysis. You always have such interesting and insightful things to say. Second, can I just say how much I appreciate that you show yourself actually hitting the like button on the video you're reacting to? It's a small pet peeve of mine that reactors ask for likes/subscribes on their own video, but then don't show that same courtesy towards the artist they're reacting to. Anyway, keep up all of the awesome that you're doing!

[@frankrieman]

I think your next bass gang video should be with Geoff, or just your next video, that would be incredible.

[@tompeavy8254]

Great reaction. His arrangement is awesome. The flowing legato chords up front from the driving, staccato strings and drums leading to the Bb,A,D….just so perfect.

[@craigcook1350]

I don’t know what’s better - the reaction/analysis, or that Bass Gang shirt! Always fun watching your videos!

[@alexwalker8440]

Another Geoff epic!! Chills all over, between this and remembering GoT !! Geoff mentioned that the number of voices doesn't always match the number of characters on the screen. However he does it, sounds amazing!! Three Vipers, wow!! One of these days you'll wear them thru the whole song! 🤣 Thanks for another great reaction, Peter! Nice haircut!

[@marshayoung9387]

Thank you for another great reaction to Geoff. I am glad you can appreciate his musical & arranging talents. You look so much you with your hat on. When I first saw you singing in your classical videos It threw me off at how you looked a bit older. Don't get me wrong, you are a good looking young man either way.😊

[@xXNunduXx]

14:37 Peter’s like “wait wtf?” 😂

[@corneleggberry4167]

Amazing. I like the hair. I love the bass gang merch.

[@Robert.Sheard]

Yes, those sound tracks are spectacular. I really enjoyed your analysis of this one… not to mention your hitting the D1 without even blinking.

[@Guest.7289_2]

D1s are easy lol

[@StephanieGraham0129]

Awesome video as always! Geoff has been just on a roll with his releases. He has said in the past that he will use midi or or other plugins for the instrumentation in his arrangement. I am always amazed at how detailed they always sound.

[@KaivalaJenva]

Better Fabio has produced another masterpiece. I'm happy to see your eyes better without the hat. As many have said love your breakdowns. You analyze in a way that is not dull or boring but exciting and inspiring.

[@m.robinson97]

I love your analysis and your passion for music!

[@cathylarcher291]

I discovered Geoff last month doing monster mash and that led to Voice Play. From there came all the reaction videos but you are a step beyond. I am delighted with the education so I can enjoy the music more fully.

[@carinarodebak9419]

Just love that you were so quick in reacting to this. Great work as always.

[@maia.t]

Awesome analysis, it doesn’t ever feel like a 28 min video, feels way shorter, because I enjoy your breakdowns so much! I always appreciate little musical details, like when you pointed out the B natural thrown into the chord. As a band/orchestra person, I found the analogy about the trumpet/violin very interesting! I had never thought about how the attack of it makes all the difference in sound. Even though I started watching you because of your acappella analyses, I also appreciate when you breakdown instrumentals too. 😊 Can’t wait for (hopefully 🤞🏻) PTX next week! 😁 (And cool Bass Gang jersey!)

[@sylviawhipple4688]

Very nice. Awesome to hear the whole song without the missing parts from the show.

[@lkayh]

You are so good at this! It’s so good to get a clear breakdown of what’s going on. I’m glad you said that about the instrumentals. During chat during the premiere, Geoff made some kind of comment about how hard it was to play all the violin parts. It had a kind of facetious feel to it but I took him literally and was going on in comments about how he played all the instruments. He was, in a way, but yeah, it makes more sense if he did it the way you describe (tho it wouldn’t surprise me if he could actually play several instruments). Your teaser sounds sweet! I literally cannot wait for the full release!

[@veronicathunander4579]

Enjoyed your reaction/analysis a lot!

[@rosedouglas9586]

Love the TBG merch, love your analysis, love your reaction.

[@Phripheoniks]

Maaaan, you really open my eyes and ears to all the ear and eye candy of Geoff(rey), love it.

[@brendaswolfe1435]

"The GoT font" That's a serious fan. Fantastic reaction/analysis. I really look forward to your videos when Geoff or Voiceplay posts a new video. I already loved this video but you made it better and confirmed some things that I had noticed. I wish I wasn't so dirt poor. I would support you on patreon.

[@Wildecat10]

It helps to have a friend with a production studio and a storage area with finds like the throne. The actual set you’ve seen before in Misty Mountains and Dragonborn Comes. It’s the Villians Lair set for Pattycake Productions. Hope you are enjoying your time in New Mexico and getting plenty of chile (green’s my favorite). I live in Albuquerque so probably won’t get up to see you while you’re here.

[@kristinbrantley9075]

Picking up some Hatch chilies later this month. Can't wait!

[@ashlingunderson8285]

I love you explaining the meaning of the song

[@garyharris8097]

Enjoyed your Annalise on this one, I agree with you! You'r hair cut looks great. I enjoy your caps too!

[@DavideBaroni]

As always I really REALLY appreciate your reaction and ANALYSIS. You make them rich in details and informations, not only technical (which I always appreciate, they're pretty "new stuff" for me) but also about the story, the music, the "emotional" sides. You're one of my favorite reactors, and you hit a D1 as if it's nothing! 🙂 Please keep your style. It's a rare gem. Thank you for all of these videos and your analysis of every aspect of the videos.

[@gracefiles2268]

Great reaction/analysis as always Peter!! I am so excited for your cover of the main theme of game of thrones (which I have not watched the show yet...please don't be mad at me😅) to come out. I already know it will be epic based on the teaser. Keep up the amazing work friend ❤

[@christinakyleloves]

So excited for this!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@nlp3000]

Another awesome analysis - I always feel like I learn so much watching your videos. Really appreciate what you do!

[@dougtexas]

Awesome rendition by Geoff, awesome analysis by you!

[@AndieO]

I think I'm spoiled. When it comes to bass singers I have a top ten and you all switch places regularly.. Lol. It's just so enjoyable watching an outstanding bass performer review another and give credit. So appreciate it and you made me smile. Can't wait for your track next on the 21st.

[@rmdewberry2482]

Just one of my fave singers/reactors analyzing one of my fave singers. Win/win for me!

[@jennifersmith8923]

Fantastic analysis as always. Love to hear your thoughts and deep dives.

[@catsmeow5566]

I'm glad you explained some of the context of Game of Thrones. I've never seen it so I was completely confused by this song.

[@melodyhesse1612]

[@jamesthomas7102]

Hey Peter, I've watched a few videos un-subbed at this point as I mainly watch Geoff reaction videos to see people react to the ridiculous amount of talent that man has, so far your honest commentary and analysis has been extremely informative and entertaining, thank you, in my opinion you've damn well earned my subscription

[@jamesthomas7102]

I am also musically trained but as the person behind the sound desk mainly, I do have some training as a singer but I've used that as a reference for my work as a sound technician to help others sound good

[@thewrenchreviews9986]

So used to you not having a hat in the Bass Gang videos that I didn't realize no hat in this one at first. I like both hat and no hat. Another wonderful analyses. Always enjoy them. Will also throw in my concern for the dark circles. Hope you are well.

[@cattievogelsong96]

I like his singing on this song. Much more interesting than the original. I like your breakdown.

[@janetdw]

Not a GOT viewer and I was unfamiliar with the music so I checked it out before watching this version. To me it was more spoken than anything else so I didn’t check out the soundtrack because I found it without dimension. Now I know why I found this so much more interesting although I never could’ve put it into words like you did. So thank you for pointing out all those little tiny details. I am going to go and listen once again to his karaoke track which does not have the lead and it may make some more sense. I’m also going to check out the score because the things you talked about are the things that draw me to this particular piece. I’m not a Skyrim fan but I downloaded that soundtrack because I found it amazing. But based only on the snippet I heard of this song prior to this video I was not interested. Thanks to your comments, I’m going to check it out. Excellent analysis and most of it made sense to me and I have absolutely zero musical knowledge. I’m working my way through your back catalog and as soon as I can find the funds I’ll be trying to jump on the Patreon train. I hope the rest of your season in Santa Fe goes well.

[@carinarodebak9419]

PS No hat in reactions to Bury A Friend and Yellow Flicker Beat. I also second No hat, even if I understand the advertisment purpose.

When you hum that D1 @14:45 is that sub or chest fry? Looks and sounds a lot like what I can do (best in the morning) and I'm pretty sure it's not a sub. Sounds good with your sound recording setup.

You need to react to chapel hearts AGT audition. It is one of the best country songs made, it has hit the top of the I tunes charts.

Thanks 👍

[@ms_scribbles]

And Tywin destroyed House Reyne in the most baller way possible, too, proving at a young(ish) age that he was not one to be messed with. Castamere was a stronghold that was mostly underground because it started off as a mine. The Reynes thought they could hide from Tywin by going down underground and wait him out. So Tywin, like the badass he was, diverted the river to flood Castamere, so that the one thing that was preventing Tywin getting in also ended up preventing them from getting out before they drowned. EVERYONE was killed. As far as I know, nobody in the Westerlands rose up against him ever again.

Home Free + Oak Ridge Boys - Elvira acapella version. I know you've reacted to Home Free before, but Oak Ridge Boys have been around since the 70's. Very playful fun to listen to. I also wanted to express my thanks for the videos! Though never particularly talented at singing, it was something I did enjoy. Music has been a long passion of mine. Good music and lyrics together can be so amazing! Myself - I love to hear more of the percussion and bass. They seem to be the foundation to help take a song from 'nice' to wow! Perhaps this is my own prejudice, but seeing the Alto's and Bassists get the center stage! (YAY!) Also thank you for explaining some of the more technical aspects with what is being done to achieve some of the sounds and such. Wanting to be better able to understand the technical aspects can also give you a far greater appreciation for the vocalist. I'd also love to see your thoughts on Nightwish's End of an Era version of Phantom of the Opera with the original female vocalist. Would like your operatic opinion of the performance. Heilung is also a very unique group, but they do use some tech to achieve some of the sounds. The Charismatic Voice she did a review and an interview with the lead female vocalist.

Belated birthday wishes Pete, ra whanau. Loved the blending in this and what seems like Geoff is hanging off the notes and timing a touch. Makes it more chilled and pulled back. Was he phasing? I wasnt sure if he was (14.03 with not). Great review thank you. Big Geoff fan.

He seems to be singing a Japanese song in that language called Akinaide. It is a departure for Dimash and has become a favourite of mine of all his music. It would be very interesting to hear your analysis of Dimash's Akinaide. Please and thank you from a regular follower of yours.
