Reaction to Home Free - Skull and Bones (Official Lyric Video + Live Performance)

[@PaulaThompson-x9w]

My favorite part is Austin looking at Chance like he's both shocked and proud. He wrote the perfect pirate game song. Love these guys! Thanks for the reactions to them.

[@nancyholter5646]

Tim commented during a Sweet & low performance that you could tell they were still a new group because they were all still impressed with each other. Evidently it doesn't matter how long you have ben a group, you can still be impressed.

[@Rkbmomma]

Yeah, you can def hear the Opera Rob on the chorus

[@Emil_Stoltz]

The thing I love about sea shanties is the low baritone singing. It really chills ye down tae yer bones, yarr!

[@dagmar.6954]

Glad we are getting a double feature! Chance wrote this song for the game "Skull & Bones". I do think they were asked to write this because of "The Sea Shanty Medley". I really like seeing this live version as it shows who is doing what parts. Tim & Chance are doing the really low notes in the beginning. Chance has his guitar & Austin is playing a mandolin. Adam is holding down the percussion sounds. And Austin & Rob are adding a fuller sound with their harmonies. Wish the live was the longer version of the song. These guys are so supportive of each other's talents & projects.

[@vickiadkins9844]

I'm so proud of Chance!! Awesome song!! Home Free forever!! Dave you've got to act to their " Playin With Fire " !! It I smooth as silk!!

[@carolmangum7524]

😂 that was your best pirate face!

[@MommaBird52]

They did this live in Berlin and Tim gave kudos to Chance for writing this and for him bringing Sea Shanty to Home Free!

[@greeneyes92061]

Ok Dave, I was waiting for you to jump out of your chair and start dancing to the music! I absolutely love your reactions, but this has to top them all!

[@DanMcCall-g3b]

Hi, Dave! I just want to sincerely thank you for your wonderful reactions to Home Free. You're one of my favorites reactors, and I really appreciate your astute comments and enthusiasm! Are you aware that Home Free just released a live concert version of The Sea Shanty Medley? Much fun!

[@karenc1564]

I've missed your Home Free reactions! this is the best isn't it?

[@DeerlyMusical2]

The Dragon (Tim) was singing along with Chance on the "Yo Ho" part.

[@kmwwrench]

Even after all the times I've heard this, it still impresses me. Chance did such a great job on the writing and the guys hit it out of the park. The intro is actually 3 voices - Chance singing bass, Tim singing super bass and Adam going into the basement to produce the underlying drone. They just this week started doing this in their live shows and there's at least one video of it out there.

[@lonniaabye5745]

That’s cheating! 😖They didn’t sing it in Denmark! 🥺

[@dawnmanzetti1633]

Great writing by Chance and of course HomeFree nailed it 👍👏👏

[@JoanN63]

What a fantastic song this is written by Chance I see images of the old days where the pirates all sang together on their ship. So incredible performance. This is so very cool! A totally different sound but again so great. I would like Chance to write more often for Home Free. Home Free can just sing anything. Chance with his perfect low voice for this, Tim Foust's lower voice that goes so well with Chance's. Adam Rupp who also contributes to the bass, but also shows the undisputed beatboxer / vocal percussionist / vocal artist. Austin Brown who also plays a musical part but then gets into it vocally with his powerful voice. And then Rob Lundquist who clearly shows his rich opera voice here. And then that harmony that sounds so incredibly good

[@janhankins911]

Chance wrote this and does the lead vocals. He created a "treasure".

[@cmitchell7347]

So good to see you checking out some Home Free, again. Doing these together you get to appreciate the differences. Love how pumped Chance is during the Live. He always comes across as pretty laid back, mellow. Here, he stomps up to the mic and gives his all. The power of the five voices, in the Live, is worth noting. Rob's robust operatic richness is very evident. The audio quality for the Live isn't the best and quite low. Yes, you'd expect the applause to be louder and more enthusiastic. Now we're all waiting on the guys' official video for this. Heard rumblings it might be out this fall. The guys donned pirate-y garb for the thumbnail so perhaps we'll see them similarly attired in the video.

[@RightWriter]

Love, love, Home Free! I've seen them 3 times concert. And yet, I had not heard this one yet. Wow! It's so awesome!

[@suebee4843]

I've missed you, Dave! Thanks for the Home Free reaction. To identify Rob's voice in the live version, think "opera Rob". You can definitely hear him.

[@heatherennis3498]

Since Rob and Austin blew up Nessun Dorma one of my friends has been calling Rob "Opera Rob" and "Opera Bro" (and eventually got me saying it too) and I'm so glad we're not the only ones. And we're both classically trained singers so it's absolutely a compliment.

[@denise_landry]

Thanks Dave! 😆☠🍟

[@itzel1735]

Rob and Austin are mostly singing in unison on the chorus, but it’s Rob’s opera voice I hear in the live version. I’m pretty sure they had backing track for the Ubisoft conference performance, which is fine, and would probably be up to Ubisoft. They just added this their set list starting with the Olso concert this week. Chance plays guitar throughout but no mandolin. Adam loops the kick drum so he can do the droning and the rest of the percussion. Tim have a bit of background. Search for ‘Home Free Skull and Bones first time live Olso’ and you should get the one from ManLikeMusic. David’s version from Malmo is a better recording but it’s just the song.

[@janette7330]

Yes Tim said at the concert in Stockholm that they had backingtracks in the liveversion because Ubisoft thought they wouldn't manage to do it live 😂

[@itzel1735]

@@janette7330 thanks for sharing. As a theme song, the company would have final say. And Ubisoft has had so many problems with this game, I’m sure they are extra cautious.

[@ShyAnn291]

I hear Rob in both versions!

[@gerardnoe7394]

Thank you Nice rendition of what I witnessed and you emotional response. Thank you again.

[@ArleneAdkinsZell]

Lovely reaction, your facial expressions are epic. I like to hear them live, those deep bass notes sound so much better without the 'smoothing' effect of production.

[@bernieregnier4500]

Totally Epic!!!. It is just plain fun to review and realize their gifts and talents are over the top extraordinary. This group can simply stand tall amongst the industry vocalist peers (groups and gifted vocalists). They bring about an excitement intrigue wondering what they will produce for us today, near future and the years to come. They are not bound by a particular genre and whatever they produce you know it is going to be quality. Home Free produces at a high level of integrity and always amazing the interpretation both vocally and visually with their video presentation. Every individual in their vocal group is significant top-notch performer and each draws out the very best in each other. I always look with anticipation to their next release. Thank you Home Free!!! 🏴‍☠ 🍟❣

[@kaspianocz6330]

The live version is insane!

[@ppresley9208]

So proud of Chance for writing this ... love it when he gets to strut his stuff ! Good job guys , as usual !

[@TyroHuman]

Your comment about dragons reminded me about an "alternate history" book series set in early 1800's that had dragon "airforces" (countries each had their own) with some rather interesting descriptions of dragon vs ship (and dragon) battles. Its the Temeraire series by Naomi Novik

[@ElizabethRoss-uj8rl]

You were bound to like this! Thank you for reacting to both the lyric and live versions, both great, but the live one shines the spotlights on each of them so nicely! Chance loves sea shanties and proved it here that he totally gets what makes it one! Yo Ho!

[@rasmusnielsen5163]

Home Free absolutely nailed this! But i wouldn´t expect anything less from them!

[@madmadmona]

This song was written by Adam Chance for a video game coming out soon. Chance is also the lead singer here.

[@ZavarioZangrius2525]

That is so cool! 😮

[@babyfry4775]

Love this song! So glad you reacted to it Dave. It’s such a good shanty. Tim went insanely low. Loved Austin and Rob singing the “Skull and Bones”. Chance wrote a killer song. Great reaction Dave!🤩🥰 I do think them singing in front of the Ubisoft crowd didn’t help. The camera was showing more of the game than the boys and the crowd’s response was there but the sound was subdued. 🙄

[@belinda9696]

You can hear Rob if you listen hard to it, he's right under Austin and holds it all together evenly.

[@denicesanders4586]

I enjoyed your reaction Dave. Good work guys. Nice appearance by Opera Rob.

[@geniej9093]

🤣🤣🤣"security might tackle me"😂😂😂

[@brendasorenson6186]

Excellent reaction! I'm glad you did both videos. Chance loves sea shanties and wrote this one.

[@minneyruth]

Lol great reaction 🤘☠️🤘

[@beckiramsey9561]

I know right, this is totally epic, I would do the same! Run up there jumping up and down, to shake hands, congratulating! 🙌 When I first saw/heard about this, I felt like a proud mother! So excited for Chance and the guys! I am not good at video games, but being a nerdy person I know that this is a really big thing!!🔥🔥🔥 Glad you reacted to both the lyrical and the live version at the same time! Thanks Dave, really love your reactions!!👍❤️

[@whatitdodave]

Thank you!! 😁

[@JeffOfTheMountains]

Fun Fact: Pirates flew two flags, one blood red, the other being the "skull and bones". The red flag symbolized the pirates giving their target a chance to peacefully surrender, but when the skull and bones (AKA Jolly Roger) was flown, no quarter was to be given.

[@scartioantolare5825]

it's actually the other way around. red flag meant death.

[@JeffOfTheMountains]

@scartioantolare5825 Thanks. Not sure how I got that backwards.

[@tedharvick9010]

Dave had the stank face...you know the reaction is gonna be good.

[@toryistatertot5394]

I don't think there is any musical attack they could make that we would survive. These guys are amazing. Thank you for hitting us with their talent twice. Now...to go sit in a quiet room and bring my mind back from the seas to the life I normally live....

[@pamelagoodman7559]

Adam was singing a bass drone in the song intro. So, there were 3 basses starting the song❤

[@danielhummel9670]

If Skull and Bones is a complete failure , then Ubisoft at least enhanced the range of Home Free , thoses guys deserve it.

[@richb313]

Chance wrote this and sings lead.

[@glendamcgrady1244]

Thanks for your reaction!

[@christyeckert3115]

So glad to see you doing some HF missed you on their videos.

[@Indigo_moon]

Actually you can hear Rob the most in my opinion. In the recorded version you can hear that they pulled back Tim's bass, especially in the beginning, so you could actually hear Chance sing the lead. I also think Rob sounds louder live. I notice that they often pull back Rob's vocals because I think his voice projects the most out of all of them, in his lower register especially. I think it's because of his opera training. But I agree with you. I think they need less processing. This song in particular, sounds so much better live, imo. And I don't think I'm the only one that thinks so.

[@kristindunstan172]

A lot of the people in this crowd may not have known about Home Free before. I'm pretty sure they picked up some new fans from this live premier for Ubisoft.

[@creationsbychancecan]

Chance lead this one. I'm really like hearing his lower register. Love how well they did this song. Sea Dragons rock! Love your reactions Dave

[@texadian339]

Someone has probably already said this but the reason you don't "hear" Rob as much is because he's singing in a much lower register than he usually does, more like a baritone than tenor. To see similar, watch "Nessun Dorma" by Rob and Austin.

[@whatitdodave]

Oh I’m aware. Reaction to Two COUNTRY Singers try singing OPERA - "Nessun Dorma" - Austin Brown and @Rob Lundquist kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJrGqJykn91mhrs I just missed it, is all.

[@johnmoody8887]

You did catch that Adam Rupp is the only one doing "Skull and Bones" the whole time keeping the beat.

[@terezastastna941]

[@joaomanoel3197]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@jessiMBS3383]

Did you notice that Adam Rupp was singing the underlying skull and bones phrase while simultaneously beat boxing?

[@KlaniaUnicorn]

I think you should react to Briar's theme from League of Legends, which actually got uploaded a week ago.

[@THESALUTINGMARINEFAN]

They just came out with a video for this song

[@kristindunstan172]

Someone recently posted the live premier oft he full version of this song on their European tour.

[@hamblinta]

Hey Dave! Home Free did 3 different versions of this song. The first and second are the two you reacted to today. The third is their music video version which is my favorite…be sure to check it out too.

[@melaniejanssen6090]

Going to see them live for the first time next Wednesday. Can't wait! Hope they'll do this one roo, but I'm a bit scared too. With both Tim and Chance going to the depths of hell, will the theater remain standing?

[@karinfichtner7479]

Didja notice "Opera Rob" show up a little on the chorus? 😊

[@archimedes8276]

Damn is Geoff with Tim on that live version lol wow

[@amandak2237]

I believe that its Rupp who does "Skull and Bones"

[@TheDevilishSmile]

6:15 Tim and Adam together create an even bigger dragon that's fuller

[@barrywood7322]

Sea shanty’s are working songs used to keep time just like cadence songs used by the military

Did you noticed that Adam was adding in the "Skull and Bones"?

Don’t forget about the Loch Ness Monster…dragons of the sea!,

[@susanwahl6322]

Chance was approached by the game designer and asked to write a song for them. Since he loves sea shanties, he yeah mates.
