Thank you SO much for taking the time to do this reaction my guy! It really means a lot. 🙏🏼❤️ You really had A LOT to say about it which I absolutely love about your videos in general considering most reactors out there literally sit in front of the screen for the length of song and call it a reaction, but I really love how I always end up learning something new everytime after watching one of your videos .. Even if it's a reaction to one my own videos you actually noticed a few details there that I never even thought about myself 😂👌🏼❤️ Thanks again man, I really appreciate all your constant love and support and honored to call you a good friend. 🙏🏼❤️ And to anyone reading this, If you're not subscribed to Peter yet, you are really missing out on some top tier content from Acapella to very insightful reactions to Opera, this man does it all! P.S. : 14:22 was just a B1 chest, but that B0 sub is soon to come (if you know you know) 😉😉
Awesome cover and damn if I had half that talent twenty something years ago... I agree on the analysis aspect, I thoroughly love these reactions for the technical breakdown, there are a lot of coaches and singers that I enjoy watching reaction videos from, but to have a legit bass singer breaking it down is my jam.
I agree with you about most of the "reaction" youtubers. Right now there are three (counting Peter) that I love because they pause (often) and point out something that I've missed as a casual listener. My motto these days is.... "If you ever stop learning then you aren't really living"
I actually wish people weren’t so hung up on whether someone is a bass or baritone. Does it really matter? Marwan has an amazing range, wonderful tone and can only get better. So the only real question is ‘Do you like what you hear?’ The answer - Hell yeah! Looking forward to the new Bass Gang song😁
I'll be darn! Frédéric Chopin's Piano Sonata No. 2 in B-flat minor, Op. 35, also known as Marche Funèbre , was composed in 1839! 🤯 I knew Marwan is the baby of the group (and you're the grandpa, your words, not mine! 🤣) but never realized how young he is!! His voice is not ... settled?? yet, and he's already creating these amazing sounds!! To all the Geoffs, Tims and Avis out there: watch out, boys! there's a new generation that will take you by storm!! Remember the names, Peter, Tomi, Marwan, Bobby, the Bass Gang, all of them amazing bass singers!! 🙏🏼❤️
I don’t know why people debate if marwan is a bass or not he literally can hit a B0 sub harmonic and has a wonderful range. I think there is a reason he is in bass gang guys cmon now! Love you marwan keep up the good work
I've heard one or two of the Bass Gang pieces, but never heard Marwan on his own piece in entirety. Thank you for the introduction! His voice is gorgeous. He has a lovely velvety quality to it. By the time his voice matures, he's going to be one heck of a bass. Thanks also for all the added expertise you interject into these reactions - that is why I watch you, and that's actually what earned you my sub a while ago. :) I absolutely LOVE the teaching aspect of your presentations. (Sorry - you and Elizabeth both take your reactions up to the next level. They just feel more like presentations or classroom mini-lectures to me, and I love it. LOL) Anyway. Thanks once again. And yay! New musician to follow! :D
Peter, you, by far, are one of the best analysts out there. A true gift that not everyone can do. (Just because someone has a camera and can play a piano, does NOT mean the person can analyze. Just saying.....) Thoroughly enjoy the video insights, the music theory, and the musical knowledge. Keep on doing what you are doing- loving it.
In church choir I’m used to Soprano, Alto for women and Tenor, Bass for men so yes, a he’s a bass. But I also sing Barbershop so that is Tenor, Lead, Baritone, Bass for the men’s groups (for women’s, too). So he can sing any of those, although I would think he would not sing Tenor regularly. When I say Baritone/Bass I’m talking about most comfortable ranges. He is a wonderful talent though. I have enjoyed the songs on his channel. I first subscribed to each of “The Bass Gang” after watching your group videos. Thanks for reacting to this one
That's interesting what you said about bass-baritone at this point I can confirm that I'm a baritone because i don't have that ease at all. What an awesome reaction, Marwyn is really inspiring and fun fact, this was the video that made me wanna start making covers and start learning how to do these stuff :)
I absolutely love his rendition. I love that he kept it much like the original and pulled the sound off amazingly but love that he added that slow dub sound, it just adds such a great kick to it. And I knew he was young, but only in high school, WOW. I seriously can't wait to see just how he grows into that deeper voice set. I feel we are gonna see great things from him not only vocally but thru his video work as well. Another great analysis Peter, thank u!
He's in high school with that kind of rich, clean tone AND has subs nailed down? I'm more than double his age and I still can't nail down subharmonics...I can't wait to see where this dude is in five a.
Fantastic!!! Marwan deserves this reaction soooo much! He is totally underrated. I think his cover of „Five Nights at Freddys“ would’ve also worked super well for a Halloween reaction.
I have trouble listening to you talk so seriously with that skull mask lol, but this was an amazing reaction and I'd definitely love to see you react to more of Marwan's videos and the other members of the bass gang
I have a reaction suggestion; JP Leppäluoto from Finland. He's low baritone, I believe, but I've never heard another voice quite like his. If you don't mind listening to songs in other languages, his song "Kuoppa" would be a good starting point.
I'm just sitting here wondering if I have ever heard him talk. Like... hearing what range he speaks in would make it easier to decide for a lot of people if he's a bass or not. Marwan, if you see this, can we get a speaking voice reveal video one day?😂
Is there any difference in difficulty between a deep open vowel and singing through a m/n at the low end? Like you say @6:00 Geoff Castellucci did a lot of sub-hums in "House of the Rising Sun" but not every time, and Marwan is doing them here. It seems like that might be harder since it shortens your vocal tract by the length of your lips? Also: the theme is Chopin's 2nd piano Sonata (op 35): Here's Michelangeli playing it ua-cam.com/video/Hgw_RD_1_5I/v-deo.html
In theory there shouldn't be much difference in difficulty because one can maintain a similar throat position, but singers do seem to struggle more with sustaining on a closed vowel, especially while maintaining any kind of power behind it
Do you do commentary on non-bass singers? If so, Halle Bailey (soprano) gave a really good live vocal performance of Can You Feel the Love Tonight on the recent Disney special.
Ohh if/when you're gonna do the Disney series you gotta listen to the German version of lion king's be prepared! (Seid bereit) it's pure perfection, so much better than the original!
Although he is a member of the bass gang, he's not a true bass at the moment IMO. He's more of a baritone to me but his harmonies are nice. Do you agree Peter?
Who cares if he’s a “True Bass” or not? People have unfortunately set this standard that Bass singers on average have to be like Avi Kaplan or Thurl Ravenscroft which is stupid.
@@FernyBass I don't care really. And I don't know why someone would take it as an offense if they weren't a true bass. He's a baritone and there's nothing to be ashamed of in that. He sounds nice.
@@FernyBass He can hit low notes but he's more comfortable in singing with a brighter and lighter color. Basses have a naturally warm and dark sound. Hitting low notes does not make someone a bass. It's the natural color and resonance of their voice. But you're right, in opera standards, it's much harder to be labeled as a true bass.

Thank you for finding out where that theme comes from - well done! 👏🏼 I LOVE Chopin’s piano sonatas

Marwan is very creative with his voice with the high and very low bass tones he has going on here.
All around great!
Thanks for sharing this ☺

To keep the halloween theme goin, Geoff Castelluci just released “The Monster Mash” on his channnel. I think you would rlly enjoy it!

"Mellifluous" is the word that describes Marwan's smooth lounge-act-like delivery.
He's in high school with that kind of rich, clean tone AND has subs nailed down? I'm more than double his age and I still can't nail down subharmonics...I can't wait to see where this dude is in five a.
Marwan Ayman!!! Brother!!!! You are freaking fantastic!!!! Such a great and clean voice. Lovenit!!!!
Two minutes in and I’ve already learned something new - thank you for always bringing your own perspective!
Fantastic!!! Marwan deserves this reaction soooo much! He is totally underrated. I think his cover of „Five Nights at Freddys“ would’ve also worked super well for a Halloween reaction.
I would absolutely love to see peter analyze Five Nights at Freddys as well!
Yes absolutely! The Five Nights at Freddy's one also deserve a reaction !
I have trouble listening to you talk so seriously with that skull mask lol, but this was an amazing reaction and I'd definitely love to see you react to more of Marwan's videos and the other members of the bass gang
Great reaction/analysis Peter! You're right Marwan is so talented!
I literally just noticed your shirt and it is amazing!
This is absolutely just a bunch of fun, such a talented guy 👏
This guy is awesome!!!! Love it!!!very clean voice!!
Dig the song he is gonna be an amazing artist, thanks for showing him to us.
LOVE LOVE LOVE all your stuff...man!!!
I would love to see you react to Avi Kaplan's solo music. My favorite is 'Change On The Rise'! It's such a beautiful song!
THE BOULDER loves this reaction.
I’ve never seen such an excellent comment 👏🏼
It's Chopin's funeral march

Have had manyyyy a call with him for Bass Gang stuff -- his speaking voice is just as low as mine tbh
@@PeterBarber Woooow... Okay, you convinced me.😂 Thank you for replying.
the funeral march is I believe Chopin
fyi, the song is from '96, it was just played over old school Disney.
I am currently in high school and can already hit a B0 subharmonic!!
12:46 are you talking about Bach - toccata and fugue in d minor??
Is there any difference in difficulty between a deep open vowel and singing through a m/n at the low end?

The talent is clearly there, thank you for showing this. And I wanted to give a shout out to Avatar, the last Airbender. Love your shirt!
Love that you recognized the shirt!!
Frédéric Chopin's Piano Sonata No 2 in B flat minor, Funeral March
You just freak me out with that mask, dude. But the combination of the mask and your voice is perfection.
Don't like the mask either 😕 I want to see his expressions!
That shirt though 👌
Chopin - Marche Funèbre
If you have time, Voiceplay’s My Mother Told Me is amazing
guy can SING 🤤
Just gotta say loving the Avatar the last air bender shirt. 🤣
Thank you for noticing!!!
Do you do commentary on non-bass singers? If so, Halle Bailey (soprano) gave a really good live vocal performance of Can You Feel the Love Tonight on the recent Disney special.
I do plan expanding into other genres in the near future -- there's just SO much bass content people want me to cover 😅
i think you should check out indicator's "i'm an alien" by beatbox international... beatbox fans like bass singers who try to copy beatboxers...
Ohh if/when you're gonna do the Disney series you gotta listen to the German version of lion king's be prepared! (Seid bereit) it's pure perfection, so much better than the original!
Wolfgang Amedeus Mozart Funeral march
who cares if someone is a bass or a baritone. As long as someone's voice sounds pleasant to the ear, that is all that matters.
Agreed !
marwan is capable of expanding to indian +muslim genres....he shd try to include thm in his repertoire
Although he is a member of the bass gang, he's not a true bass at the moment IMO. He's more of a baritone to me but his harmonies are nice. Do you agree Peter?
He's still in high school. His voice hasn't matured yet, and he's already hitting F1's.
He's a bass.

@@FernyBass I don't care really. And I don't know why someone would take it as an offense if they weren't a true bass. He's a baritone and there's nothing to be ashamed of in that. He sounds nice.
@@brachavo1833 I don’t see how he’s a Baritone, unless he sings opera where there are far more requirements for voice classifications, he’s a Bass.
