I suggest the new Voiceplay, Hoist the colours. There are no words to describe it. It's that good.

[@amandawade4484]

Geoff and Eli, that is all I can say. They are all phenomenal but those 2 shine in this one!

[@marshayoung9387]

@@amandawade4484 Geoff & Eli a force to be reckoned with.

[@maeco7]

Geoff is just phenomenal. I can't get over his voice and creativity. More recommendations for him: "High and Dry" or "Headless Horseman" (the latter is a great Halloween one!). I also have to recommend Hoist of Colours, just released by his a capella group. Geoff arranged and produced that one and it's spectacular - one of my new favourites by them.

[@olabergvall3154]

I'm pretty sure that's an actual stand up bass. Geoff doing solo doesn't stay true to a capella, and we're all better off for it. Not that he couldn't do something like it, but it's an artistic choice; a good one if you ask me

[@par500dragon7]

Geoff's House of the Rising Sun and Voice Play's Hoist the Colors! Epic!

[@ericbogie8111]

The newest song by Voiceplay "Hoist the Colors" from the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise has to be their most epic cover to date.

[@jessicacifelli5496]

Geoff has a great ability to use the props as percussion, which is really creative. He also may label his videos as bass covers but even Geoff has stated that he is not a bass, because he can sing really low, but also go really high. That is probably why he can harmonize so well with himself. Another song to hear is House of the Rising Sun by Geoff Castellucci. It's so good! But for Voice Play, If I Were A Rich Man/Girl is phenomenal as well!

[@dianaartdent1592]

You liked this one and the other Misty. Check out Peter HOllens/Tim Foust Misty mountain. Then Proceed to listen to Voiceplay's Hoist the Colours. You will definitely feel the song for sure!!!!! Voiceplay's Hoist the Colours is a Must for you MetalHead, you will flip!!!!

[@Robert-ge6wd]

as usual, came for the geoff face, and I was not disappointed hahaha

[@Broomrider1492]

I can hear Tennessee Ernie Ford saying to Geoff. "Bless your Pea Pickin Heart". This was the first thing I found by accident just browsing on YT of Geoffs' just clicked the title cause I love the song from my childhood. Fell in love with his voice. Then I was driving headfirst down the VoicePlay and Geoff Castellucci rabbit hold. I have discovered there is no bottom. It's like the energizer bunny just keeps going.

[@hwyla4416]

Can you hear Tennessee Ernie Ford in the 'Bless My Soul' bit from Geoff on the left? To me it's almost an impression on that one small part - certainly an homage at least.

[@lokieec.r.p.swarrior8740]

YEA!! You finally listened to this special track from Geoff.

[@tracyz9155]

Geoff has a recent one you should react to - House of the Rising Son. And of course VoicePlay’s newest. I upvoted Hoist the Colours below. Thanks for your reaction

[@steby123]

Really fine bass singers usually have an eerily excellent bass guitar sound they pull off for a lot of group sung songs and that would be Geoff C. !!

[@sab4279]

I've been really enjoying your reactions to Geoff/Voiceplay. So glad to have found your channel. With that said, one of my favorite Geoff covers is Radiohead's 'High and Dry". And for Voiceplay, I really love their latest release 'Hoist the Colours'.

[@dalleneldredge6923]

Rewinds a second time: sorry, last time! Me: yeah right.

[@MetalGuyReacts]

😆 You are 100% correct! Geoff has me replaying constantly. Shows how amazing his voice is 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼😆

[@lkayh]

I have been thinking it’s a standing bass. If not he’s even more phenomenal than I was already thinking.

[@angelcelestenz]

As others have said, Geoff tends to have some accompanying instrument in his songs - guitar, piano, violin, and in this case extra bass. Though it sounds more like a double bass to me, than a bass guitar. But it always compliments his arrangements really well. This song was also completely in his chest voice. Enjoying your reactions!

[@MetalGuyReacts]

Thanks Celeste! I’m excited to listen to more of his stuff. What should I do next? I’m thinking Bare Necessities 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@angelcelestenz]

@@MetalGuyReacts Bare Necessities is good - but Blackbird is amazing!

[@randiskye4444]

Geoff has replied to questions about why he doesn't arrange his solo work a capella. Basically it comes down to not competing on the same field as VoicePlay. He does do multi-part harmonies, but always uses instrumentation in his solo work, he does this on purpose to differentiate his solo works from what he does with VoicePlay.

[@sarnett7303]

I got the giggles the first time I listened to his rendition of Sixteen Tons 🧡

[@johndeeregreen4592]

As a normal bass singer, I go hide when I hear Geoff.

[@Freakiehippy30]

There is an actual bass being played, his solo work he does mix in light instrumentation rather than full a cappella

[@leechowning2712]

We are coming up on spooktober... Check his video of Headless Horseman. Trust me.

[@joshnoe5523]

New Voiceplay track! Hoist the Colours from Pirates of the Caribbean. It's pure insanity. Their best yet imo and that says a lot

[@marine7443]

Second reaction video I've watched of yours, and I'm definitely a fan of a man of your caliber, you've got a new subscriber.

[@huldradraco]

on his solo channel, he doesn't do pure acapella, he has a little instrumentation like drums, bass or piano etc on his songs. you should definitely check out Voiceplay's new video Hoist The Colours like so many others have suggested here, it's one of their best ones yet!

[@DayneTreader]

There is indeed a Bass (not the guitar-type) present in the background. It sometimes cuts in and out to accentuate Geoff's own bass line.

[@TracyH13]

Great reaction to the best bass in the business 🎶 💜 🎶

[@MetalGuyReacts]

Hey Tracy! Yeah his voice is just outstanding! So sharp and so low!

[@mikerogers6076]

With Halloween 🎃 on the way, be sure to check out Geoff's tribute to the one and only Thurl Ravenscroft with "The Headless Horseman".

[@mrbrianc]

The subtitles for the ending are hilarious

[@seanofl]

I find it so amazing that not only can he hit and effortlessly hold the insanely low notes, but he can legit sing lyrics down there too - like at the end of the song he hits that low note and then sings a line down there.

[@Yurei-Shii]

If you enjoyed Geoff harmonizing with himself, the best example would be his cover of Black Bird. Great review! I've been going through your entire voiceplay playlist today! Thank you so much for reacting to them! ^~^

[@christinestromberg4057]

I know that in Country Roads he gives thanks for a guitar plug in he used, so if there's no mention of a bass here it was probably him pre recorded. His bass guitar sound is so realistic on VoicePlay tracks. And yes it's his smooth buttery tone across his range that's so incredible.

[@randiskye4444]

One reason he may have such full harmonization is that when he and Layne plot the arrangements for VoicePlay's pieces, they sing the separate parts and send them out as guides to the tenor and baritone parts. Yes, they repitch them as needed, but it may lend itself to the broad stylizations of his range. Or I could be talking out of my butt! Thanks for the great entertainment watching your eyes bug out when he hit a low! Also, it will be no use asking for up votes, it won't weed anything of his out, so you may just as well go through his channel in any order and just do them all, lol! Thanks!

[@trishaurvan9439]

Hoist The Colours please! You will be amazed!

[@Debs_Badger]

Geoff's solo works (so far) are not a cappella. He plays the piano, and will utilize various plug-ins to covert that to other instruments. It's an opportunity for him to do something different from VoicePlay. Also, Geoff himself said that he didn't use any subharmonics in this one. 😁

[@eclipsedgaze]

Great reaction, as always! If it's not on your list, his version of Blackbird is INCREDIBLE.

[@gailseatonhumbert9199]

Nice version. Tennessee Ernie Ford made it popular and as a kid we all had fun singing it in elementary school. 🙂

[@ginanowell8842]

Country roads!!!

[@Tryst46]

Geoff does a great version of Blackbird. His backing harmonies are really soft and smooth. As you say, it's hard to do your own backing vocals, but Geoff manages to do it with no problem every time. Yes, he can emulate a bass guitar quite well and does so quite often when singing with Voiceplay, which is pure a capella.

[@sebastianvignoloicdg4677]

I really like your reactions! specially the ones to Geoff and/or voicplay! you must react to their new song, a version of Hoist the colours! i think thats honestly one of their best ones!!! greetings from Argentina!

[@draygontaygen677]

Here's one you'll enjoy Misty Mountains Cold by Peter Hollens and Tim Foust. And it's all done with voice. 👍🍻😁 I really enjoy Geoff's singing and I also enjoy Tim Foust too.

[@timboslice3755]

This guy is incredible!

[@miapendragon5240]

You should do his new cover House of the Rising Sun and VoicePlay's If I were a rich man/girl, Warriors and Hoist the Colors

[@garryamey2401]

Geoff and Voiceplay always give credit to all performers in the video.. given there is no mention of a bass player......

[@Iansco1]

Single instrument ususally on his solos. Guitar on Rising Sun. Bass here. Piano on Blackbird.

[@super_siri]

Geoff doesn't do a capella for his own music, only for voiceplay.

[@kellywilliams364]

And he didn't use any subharmonics in this song!!! You REALLY need to check out VP new Hoist the Colors. It has been "breaking" reactors...it is sooo intense.

[@lokieec.r.p.swarrior8740]

"It has been "breaking" reactors."

[@rathar]

Need to listen to the new voiceplay song Hoist the Colors. It seems to have broken most reactors.

[@pshore73]

Geoff's House of the Rising Son and VoicePlay Oogie Boogie Song, in addition to Hoist the Colors

[@Bass.Player]

There is a bass guitar in there. He is hitting a G#1 here in this song which is about 50Hz. A 4 string bass will go to a G which is 40 Hz. A 5 string low note is a B at 30 Hz.

[@darklord9203]

Funny enough when I listened to this a few days ago it was raining now it is snowing

[@williamwhitecage7988]

he just released a new one - his cover of a Halloween 'classic' - The Monster Mash... :) Might like it

[@super_siri]

I highly recommend the Celtic choral group Anuna, they have an all girl song called Jerusalem, which is crazy complicated. Not one person is singing the same word or note at the same time, and they do the song while they are walking. The whole song is long sustained phrases, WHILE THEY ARE WALKING!! And another song of theirs I love is Fionnghuala, which is super fun and fast in Gaelic. It's a type of music that the name translates to mouth music. It's amazing they have clear diction even while singing that quickly.

[@braydenmay6495]

In the Oogie boogie song he hits a subharmonic E1 you should really check it out

[@amkin5494]

not sure if this would be a good place to recommend this but maybe a reaction to Yuve Yuve Yu by The Hu the throat singing is utterly amazing.

[@kevintucker332]

So when Geoff does songs solo, it's not all accapella. He will bring in one or two instruments

[@r0kus]

I like this a whole lot, but I think my favorite cover of _16 Tons_ is the one I grew up with, by Tennessee Earnie Ford.

[@busterSJG]

Karl Loxley - never enough(from the greatest showman)

[@MishaT]

Did you check the Blackbird fly?

[@raygeraghty6670]

Check out his version of Shenandoah

[@braydenmay6495]

You should react to voice plays cover of the Oggie boogie song

[@joneljohndelossantos4834]

React to voceplay "DADDY SANG BASS"🤗

[@tanyarenae1030]

I’d love it if you could react to tim foust will you stay

[@donnamiller6967]

dude you need to react to Lovebites if you like 80's/90's metal you will not regret it Geoff is is soo good

[@donnamiller6967]

all him

[@victorbradshaw7359]

Np guess you took it down Ty
