Reaction to GHOST RIDERS IN THE SKY | Low Bass Singer Cover | Geoff Castellucci

[@candilunsford2878]

Geoff worked so hard on this. He's trying out new skills with green screen and it was a battle. The end result is why we love him though. He's so amazingly talented in all aspects of music and production. It's becoming a thing to say we got "Geoffed" when watching him. LOL He did some country with his solo of Country Roads, and Daddy Sang Bass with VoicePlay.

[@debbiehall9091]

Geoff really did a great job but the video is amazing.

[@alexs.9647]

I love your reactions during the video. It gets me every time 😂❤

[@maryhumphrey3002]

That is the best version I have ever heard. I am 76 years old I heard the original version. I like this one best.

[@LazerWulf]

My first exposure to this song was the Blues Brothers 2000 soundtrack. That remained my favorite version until the metal version for the Ghost Rider movie by Spiderbait.

[@avrilkulbida5541]

Thank you as always Dave 😊

[@jebvlogs4761]

5:21-5:24 that's a "Rift Drive @whatitdodave it doesn't stack,but it's super condensed. Then it flows, smoothly from there into the 5:25 stacking chorus .. I know that look 👀 5:28-5:30

[@eriklind8489]

Wow...this is the first time I have listened to this....happy to enjoy it with you Dave.

[@daventunes3822]

When the genre was still "country WESTERN", there was a strong tradition of what were known as "story songs." Marty Robbins and Roger Miller were famous for them, but most male country artists had a few in their repertoire.

[@lindahall8707]

I am showing my age but I first heard this song performed by the Sons of the Pioneers. They sang with Roy Rogers. Geoff should do more of the Country/Western catalog. Love it!

[@ilonadever8249]

He let down gentle, perfect description, Dave! The harmony, the whistle, execution, it's just wonderful. It is a spooky song originally. Cowboy sees cattle in the sky, then the cowboys herding them. Those cowboys are ghosts, condemned to herd the Devil's cattle because of the life they led. They are warning him to shape up or he'll have to join them for eternity. You could react to Geoff (and Voiceplay) all day, every day, and I would sit and watch.

[@christinadowdican3268]

If I remember correctly my Grandaddy once called it a ballad. He listened to these all the time. Still putting out great reactions. Don't Stop I love them❤😊

[@TheCthultist]

While I’ve got little love for ordinary country music, Country Western is a different beast entirely. I could listen to this type of stuff day in and day out. It’s incredible.

[@jamespauldelashmit2173]

Dave, Ole' Geoff never disappoints!!!

[@sandrasotom8169]

AMAZING WORK ITS LOOKS COMPLICATED, PRODUCTION, AND SACRIFICE, SAY HI TO KATY SHE IS ALWAYS AT UR SIDE, GOD BLESS U ALL AMEN 🙏

[@hownotto4067]

A good surprise would have been if in the last 10 seconds of the music video he should have had one of his ghost forms wave all the others away. (The one in black hat 🎩). They fade into shadow and then he goes back to the flames 🔥 and black backdrop… and then finished with the low bass drop as a ghost

[@lorriredmon8212]

Most Excellent! Loved your reaction!

[@tim8287]

I think this would fall under the "Western" in Country-Western.

[@edithdavis2848]

Had two favorites for this song Marty Robbins and Johnny Cash . Geoff now makes three.

[@colleenleavitt1777]

I remember this song as a kid! But Geoff just took it to a whole new level! This was amazing! This was fire!🔥😁👍

[@steveinmichigan3984]

Dude, I loved your reactions and facial expressions during the Video!!

[@SinginHigh]

The version I remember was the "Sons of the Pioneers" done in the late 50' early 60's. Truly amazing... no auto tune, etc... just pure talent. The bass in that group set the standard as far as I'm concerned.

[@sagebrush4573]

Western, cowboy, Americana music is different than what is considered the modern country genre. A lot of brilliant scores from back in the day and to modern times! Geoff's version of this song is definitely up there with the greatest! Would love to see him do more of these. Great reaction!!

[@MichaelReiter]

Ghost Riders is a cool song and Geoff did an amazing job covering it his way. I also like his ghost looks. 😄

[@galadballcrusher8182]

Amazing production value

[@sueanncraftworld1065]

When I saw this video was out I was like let me see if my favorite reacter react to this and you did love your reactions Your facial expression at the end killed me lol

[@marissashelley2362]

This song was originally done by Vaughn Monroe in 1949 & was in many westerners during the 1950s. Brings back a lot of great memories!!!

[@volpecremisi878]

I believe it was Stan Jones actually. Stan Jones also wrote it

[@archashencmaa9937]

🤣🤣"WARNING, base will destroy you". Nice! Love the White Walkers comparison. Great reaction bro.

[@bobkitten8150]

I most remember the version by Neil LeVang - it was like a surf guitar version. I love this one with Geoff, Jeff, Goff, Geof, and Daryl 🙂

[@Ozymandias2x]

"Where's Jeffe?" "He's holding the camera."

[@jackyfriedman1963]

Great reaction as always. Left to right... Jeff, Daryl, Geoff, Jeoph and Goff. Geoff started this in June but had lots of issues with it so he set aside. He then decided to do The Rains of Castamere. He picked this back up in August. Still Alot of issues and learning New techniques. This is the awesome end result of all his hard work.

[@jenniferjensen8538]

Love your reaction, as always! If you want a good laugh, I highly recommend reading thru his description. 😂 It's hilarious!

[@victorcowboywest]

This is western style music, Stan Jones (6/5/1914-12/13/1963)wrote and recorded it late 1948 inspired by a folklore story he heard as a child(when someone dies ,their spirit leaves the body and goes to the sky) the song has been sung by Burl Ives, Vaughn Monroe (this may be the most notable recording),Johnny Cash and it was used for the theme for "GHOST RIDER "and Geoff as always does a great job of this classic and a favorite.

[@benl.ofthegamecatarmy]

His voice lends itself to these Country Ballads so amazingly

[@bjspeck4337]

This is more Western than Country. It feels as if you've been riding for days on horseback, rounding up cattle, The sky is late afternoon when the sun catches the clouds where shapes in the sky are highlighted by the sun.(the red eyed cattle in the sky). My dad had the Marty Robbins version that I listened to. Love the transllucency of the Ghost Riders and their warning.

[@janetdw]

I think of this as “cowboy music”. I’m not a fan of country music in general, but I do love the older stuff and a lot of it has this sound. I can see some old leathery cowboys sitting around a campfire during a cattle drive singing this. But I didn’t really remember the lyrics is being spooky. I was a child then and just remember singing out the “yippie-i-ays ” 🤠 I also remember my dad watching Hee Haw and listening to the parody “ghost chickens 🐔in the sky”. After listening to Geoff’s version I went out to check to see if it was still funny. It is.

[@wyerenthbludragon7549]

It was sung when it was called Country and Western. Jeff makes it sound more current. Love your critique, Dave.

[@amberfuchscia709]

I love, love, love your reaction!! This is so amazingly good! This is one of my all time favorite songs. Geoff slays!!

[@SandraJB321]

Dave - I always enjoy your reactions and yours is the first one I look for when Geoff or Voiceplay has a new release. Aside from learning something from the info you point out musically, it is so much fun to watch you as you appear to be really enjoying yourself. You always make me smile.😃

[@lpl2709]

The Junkie's Prayer are another deep story song from Johnny Cash

[@christinadowdican3268]

The song is still pretty much the same as the one i grew up with. As with all artists he put his own spin on it which was an awesome move on his part. I love this & your reaction to it😊❤️

[@jeremycaldwell6477]

I love this, this is better than alot he's done in a while, this song is uplifting n makes u want to move a bit, very well done.

[@CrimFerret]

There have been a lot of very well done covers of this song. This joins the best of those though I can't say it takes the crown.

[@larrymcauley3152]

Geoff loves to spend time in the snake pit. 🐍

[@acorrado5529]

Thanks for your reaction! This was another frequent request from his patreon channel that was such a great suggestion for him. The original (or various covers of it) was not as spooky but had the deep bass and country/western story telling feel to it that lent itself so nicely to Geoff's ghost story narration skills, his deep base, and his backup harmonies of 'ghost riders' (it kind of reminds me of "Big Bad John"). I knew that he would make something special out of this song and he did in spite of struggles with trying new things with green screen (Eli helped him out with some of the technical glitches he had).

[@TheBre1491]

I looked up the original. It was done in 1948. Definitely like Geoff’s version better. Shocking it’s way more modern 😂. I also just love his range and tone of his voice. The song does make me want to go galloping on a horse.

[@toodlescae]

I remember The Highwaymen version of this with Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson.

[@christineschutten248]

I love the harmonies in this. I think this one is my favorite now!

[@WrathFire]

I always love your reactions to bass videos. Everytime someone drops their voice it looks like someone tazed your leg off screen lol

[@caitlinkavanagh3298]

Great reaction! I've always loved this song, Geoff definitely did it justice.

[@PiterDeVries668]

If you've never seen Blues Brothers 2000, it's got an EPIC version, along with a total BANGIN OST!

[@FinarfinNoldorin]

Loved this Dave!! Thank you, Sir :)

[@amyliz1212]

When I heard that Geoff was gonna being doing this song I was so pumped and god he blew any and all expectations out of the water. Your reaction was exactly how I felt while watching haha. You said it perfectly this is just straight ear candy.

[@AcapellaAddict4Lyfe]

@WHAT IT DO DAVE, I think “Further Up On Down the Road” even though it is currently a short from Geoff Castellucci, is absolutely worth your time for a reaction.

[@ishort0967]

Geoff stayed true to the original..while making it much more interesting..the song is definitely old time western cowboy genre (think Roy Rogers)…you’re not the first reactor that made reference to the Game of Thrones visuals..great reaction..

[@creationsbychancecan]

Geoff said he spent days editing this one. This is an old country message song. He did an epic job of it. Perfect for Halloween 🎃

[@christinestromberg4057]

The version I remember was by Frankie Laine, who was popular in the late '50s when I was a lot younger. :) I don't remember as being spooky, just catchy. This version though is very special. Gives me chills.

[@edithdavis2848]

That strobe effects warning is good thinking cause it can cause migraines, and seizures for some people.

[@laundrygoddess4]

Listen to the Johnny Cash version to see how he changed it to this masterpiece

[@josiahrobinson6135]

I thank you, Dave, for this reaction. I've been a fan of the Johnny Cash version - from birth to twelve, country was my genre. Twelve to 19, mostly rock; and 19 to the present, whatever catches my ear. Still patiently waiting for the reactions to the newest Tommy Johansson and Dan Vasc songs. They're both great, and Dan really kills the one he released yesterday - I really love his DragonForce covers!

[@tmfyi8048]

He hit a G1 chest in here

[@jessicahedman3048]

Excellent!

[@sekirotelcoin3336]

Love your reaction videos dude 👍

[@Bendigear74]

Hey dave i had chills up and down my body my god his range is out of this world

[@DragonxFlutter]

Ghost Riders in the Sky is a classic ghost story covered by many artists over the years. Geoff’s cover is amazing, and I would also highly recommend the version performed by Irish musician Colm McGuinness! Fun Fact: The Marvel Comics character, Ghost Rider, was originally inspired by this song; being a spirit of vengeance that “wrangles the devil’s herd” by collecting supernatural debts come due.

[@sabredesatanas518]

You made me smile! Thanks, I needed it today!

[@Badger77722]

Geoff rides another bronc to the timer! (best western motif I could come up with)!! I would consider Ghost Riders to be a Western song, but not a country song. For me, there IS a difference between country and Western, rather than the conglomerated country/Western that you often hear. Country tends to be more the "my man/woman left me, what am I gonna do?" genre, but Western is much more heavily influenced by Spanish music, and often doesn't have anything to do with personal relationships - as this song demonstrates.

[@thomasfarr7934]

Thanks Dave!

[@lkayh]

I agree. This is more the kind of music I associate with old Western movies, rather than country style as a genre. It’s interesting how he can hit that G1 different ways, and darken it so it sounds way lower sometimes. Check out the description. There’s some pretty funny stuff in there. Great reaction, Dave!!

[@paulcooley6287]

Wonderful version of the song. I love the Marty Robbins version but this is equal or better. The visuals were great as well. At the end you looked like he took all your Halloween candy..... that reaction had me smiling from ear to ear. I look forward to every one of your reactions Dave. Thank you!

[@capucheney]

It improved on The Blues Brothers 2000 version for sure

[@sureevoltz4120]

There have been so many different variations of this song. The original singer/ writer of this song was Stan Jones, Western actor/singer. Though I love Goeff's version the best, his incarnation reminds me of Stan's original the most. I heard a 1948 recording of it

[@Swishyhead]

As other people have said, this song is about a cowboy meeting a herd of the devil's cattle and the ghostly cowboys condemned to ride after them. I'm familiar with the Johnny Cash version, which comes across more like a ghost story or cautionary tale that older cowboys might say to the younger ones around a campfire. Geoff's version sounds like the ghosts themselves are warning you to change your ways.

[@Broomrider1492]

I think Daryl got the best hat and coat out of this shoot.

[@dracologistmaster]

Revisiting this video to let you know that colm has his own bass version of this song

[@anklebiterwoodworks2818]

My boy, Dave, you got the best faces! How much you wanna bet that he works the voice coming out of the wrong places with the missus just like Jeff Dunham at Toys R Us? All jokes aside: all I hear is "Goat riders in the sky!"

[@judithboggs2196]

This is country folk, western ballad type. If you have never watched the old-time westerns from the late 40's/early 50's I highly recommend you try some. Roy Rogers is a good beginning also Gene Autry. That is really old stuff, so be prepared.

[@Nobody-zi9rb]

The far left Geoff dressed like Nathan Drake from Uncharted.

[@capucheney]

Epic western Ballad of the high noon cattle drive in Oklahoma lol

[@EmileLN]

Thanks for the quick warning😂😂

[@darkmerchant1]

There’s also the one I first heard the song. Blues Brothers

[@edithdavis2848]

Had two favorites for this song Marty Robbins and Johnny Cash . Geoff now makes three. It's a fasture paced, the org. Is slower , solum a warning to change your ways to cowboys.

[@hellfire-dy9bn]

I'd like to see you do a reaction to the die apokalyptischen reiter version of this song

[@randiskye4444]

I think what makes his covers different in general is that when you go back to the source material (either original artist or most known cover) it sounds 'thin'. Geoff adds a crap-ton of dimension to his covers. Loving your appreciation of his entire range and the balance he strikes within the song. The video creation was a real bear though, with an awesome end result for us all to enjoy.

[@kimraudenbush615]

Dave: (reaches end) 😌 Ok, no heart attacks today. Me: 🤣 Hey Dave? Try the cover by Colm McGuinness... 😈

Very nice reaction Dave! Question: what program do you use to record your reactions? Is it OBS? Your audio is incredible!

[@whatitdodave]

I use OBS, but the audio quality comes from my mic, which is a Shure MV7. It’s made specifically for spoken word and podcast. It would be even better if I had a proper audio interface haha.

[@eddiearft4900]

SpiderBait did a version for the Ghost Rider movie with Nicolas Cage.

[@eriklind8489]

I have heard several of the other versions, and this wasn't all that different.

[@annewandering]

It is WESTERN music. Not something we hear a lot of anymore. For decades the two, country and western, have been classified together but they are not the same at all.
