I'm pretty sure the reason they did this now (instead of for Halloween) is because Layne and Tony had built that forest inside PattyCake's studio for the latest installment of their "Villain's Lair" and figured it would be the perfect time to further the 'grundels' story instead of having to build another indoor forest at another time.
That and last year the full In The Hall of The Mountain King was also not for Halloween. It was released right before and people were confused. But the actual Halloween one last time was Hide and Seek. Still, also including Night on Bald Mountain in this...
To meet, this is classic Layne. He appears to have an affection for outlandish characters and monsters, and typically seems upbeat to me. I hope he does more in this vein. One thing is certain - no one else is doing it, and it would be very tough to replicate. Doing gamer songs is easier because the plot and characters are already there. Inventing it all from scratch and doing a medley from the infinite number of classical clips they could use? Very, very difficult.
Fun fact we learned today, when Cesar changes voices magically, that isn't actually Geoff's voice he has, I mean it's supposed to give that illusion but guess who actually sang that low part...........LAYNE! Great reaction as always! I knew that you would find this one fun!
WAIT THAT WASN’T GEOFF SINGING FAKE GEOFF??? Holy shit- I actually can hear it in the second part of the part actually now that you say that… that’s crazyyyyyy how low he’s going.
@@pzycho_reclas1794 I mean- I knew layne could sing low, cause in Voiceplay’s cover of “everywhere you look” from many years ago, is ONLY Earl and Layne and Layne picks up the bass line and sings B1’s and it’s crazy how different he sounds with a bassier tone.
I don’t think of this as Halloween. I thought of it as band and choir kids inventing their own fairytales 😂 I enjoyed the buggsbunny/ Elmer Fudd operas as a small child. I am loving these as an adult.😊 Thank you for your reaction. If you watch other reactions, catch Klown. He is a beatboxer and he notices things Layne does the way you notice what Geoff does with his voice.❤
They have been trying to get Rachel back for ages; this may have been the only window of opportunity they had. I wouldn't have put it in the Halloween category necessarily, except for the fire skull. Some people do Christmas in July, maybe they wanted early Halloween. Doesn't matter, this was really, really brilliant, beginning to end!
Fantastic creatures are not just for Halloween. Even when their original video (Hall of the Mountain King) came out, it wasn’t their Halloween video that year. Here’s a thought that will boggle your mind - remember when Cesar stole the other voices to sing low and then high? Well, the high was Rachel, but the low voice was actually Layne!
That’s funny cause I did think it sounded a bit like when Layne sang super low on his song with his family “Evil like me (Doris turns 4)” 🎵 “… an absolute disgrace…” 🎵
I love the carrot Easter egg .. if you watch Layne’s part you will notice the flame is orange but it gets a tint of green , both colors together for a second look like a carrot 😂
Yep, that nod back to last year's "monster mashup"! I have seen several reactors do this one & didn't even know, or remember the same costumes from Mountain King... I mean reactors who have been doing VP videos for a long time. How can you forget these characters (the costumes AND the members of VP?! Lol!)
Thanks for your reaction! It was my understanding that Tony and Layne worked very hard hauling trees and building a forest inside PattyCake's studio for an episode of their 'Villain's Lair' internet program and wanted to do this one now while they had the set. Also, Rachel was available now to do the part.
And I think he was doing the cancan at the appropriate time, but it goes by so fast! I love that when he’s channeling Rachel he’s wiggling his shoulders like he’s flirting. He is such a character!
From what I've heard, Pattycake had the set built for another project, VP decided they might as well used it since it took forever to set up, so why not Halloween in June! Love it, great reaction!
The whole video was my favorite. Can't pick out just one part. By the way... Geoff Castelucci just released his new video on his patreon Thursday August 1st. It is absolutely beautiful. A classic from the 1970s. He should be releasing it on UA-cam around August 12th.
So many of the pieces used in this mash-up are old favorites of mine. VP did wonders with them. There were two bits from operas that normally have lyrics, but seeing as how *both* of them are also frequently performed as parts of symphonies based on operas, I'm happy to "Overlook" the missing lyrics.
Such a fun reaction as always Dave! I know it's not a channel you've checked out before, but I think you'd really like the Digital Circus song Welcome to the Show by Shadrow feat Longestsoloever, it's super catchy
This a follow up to last year's Hall of the Mountain King. Not for Halloween. Just some fun with classical music. singing without words is usually described in cc as vocalising,
There us this newish thing people are trying to get going called Summerween, kind of like Christmas in July. Maybe Voiceplay is trying to help it out. But then I think Halloween is a year round holiday 😁 or should be 😅🤣😂 Everyone did such a fantastic job in this one. But you'd think after knowing Rachel fir so long they'd know not to piss her off 😅😂🤣😍🤣
At first listen, i had Spike Jones and his CitySlickers....throwbacks.....what Spike did in the 40's and 50's with instruments, VoicePlay does with their Vocals.....effect is the same....>^^
I love this! The only thing I would've done differently is to use Elizabeth Garozza. Don't get wrong, I love Rachel. But for THIS piece, with its classical base and style, I feel Elizabeth's voice would've been better suited. Her voice has a more classical sound, and her high notes are just amazing. Just my opinion...
@par500dragon7...Thank you for saying that. I was thinking the same but felt a bit guilty for preferring Elizabeth over Rachel. Over all this is just wonderful, even if it is not the metal versions I usually prefer.
@@FLNatureGuy OMG yes! And wouldn't that be an awesome video - there's so much music to choose from, depending on how they intend to coax the Grundels to their side.
Dave......did you set a new Speed record, for your "Geoff Stank face"......I think it is freshly recorded, because Rachel spent most of 2023 Pregnant and being a new mother, and Cesar has shaved his beard off recently, so it must be 'fresher'......>^^
I love how Geoff is like: "Lord, give me strength" at the love part between Rachel and Layne

I was curious if they were gonna throw The William Tell Overture in the mix.
@@beverlykrebs4372 Maybe in the next (?) one.
@@Aurora-cv5to You never can tell what they might come up with! 😉

Amen! It's BRILLIANT!
They used the same costumes in Hall of the Mountain King. Just as good.

I didn't know that! Thank you! 💜

I remember reading that Layne originally sang bass before moving to BeatBoxing.
It's nice to hear him still work the bass.
@@jeffanderson8165 actually, he sang baritone. But his range is as wide as Geoff’s.
I love the carrot Easter egg .. if you watch Layne’s part you will notice the flame is orange but it gets a tint of green , both colors together for a second look like a carrot 😂
Maybe they put it out in the end of June, because of midsummer. I mean, I think of Shakespeare: A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
I love classical music. This is soo good 😊 different in a fantastic way ❤ love that they ended it with the hall of the mountain king 💋

@@Devonshirejackdaw Lol! Thanks! But shh!🤫 Don't tell anyone I said something clever... they will start expecting it! 😂

2:18 yeah there was a conversation in that melody, I was hearing "Do NOT touch!"
Cesar ran his finger over his lips, to make that sound, like someone did in the Hillbilly's vs Zombies Homefree vs Voiceplay 'Survivor' song
And I think he was doing the cancan at the appropriate time, but it goes by so fast! I love that when he’s channeling Rachel he’s wiggling his shoulders like he’s flirting. He is such a character!
Not Halloween, just MAGICAL creatures

The whole video was my favorite. Can't pick out just one part.
By the way...
Geoff Castelucci just released his new video on his patreon Thursday August 1st.
It is absolutely beautiful. A classic from the 1970s.
He should be releasing it on UA-cam around August 12th.
Oh I've been waiting for you to do this one!!! The Grundels are gonna surprise you!
Love how you love VP; this performance is so much fun. Have a wonderful weekend.
I like to celebrate Halloween all day every day. But I know Pumpkins 🎃 grow in Autumm.
Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
So many of the pieces used in this mash-up are old favorites of mine.
VP did wonders with them.

love it all even the plug for the merch at the end! ❤
Such a fun reaction as always Dave!

2:37 The boys wore the same makeup, etc., for the video for In The Hall Of The Mountain King.
They had to do this when Rachel was available. She was pregnant when they did "In The Hall of The Mountain King".
This a follow up to last year's Hall of the Mountain King. Not for Halloween. Just some fun with classical music. singing without words is usually described in cc as vocalising,

Everyone did such a fantastic job in this one. But you'd think after knowing Rachel fir so long they'd know not to piss her off 😅😂🤣😍🤣
Well, now I have a picture in my head of witches and ghouls at a pool party. Bikinis, boardies, vodka cruisers and an occasional terrifying shriek.
@@alliesopher Just like Hotel Transylvania (I think the third one where they're on the cruise) 🤣😁😂
I thought this was one of their older videos at first.
At first listen, i had Spike Jones and his CitySlickers....throwbacks.....what Spike did in the 40's and 50's with instruments, VoicePlay does with their Vocals.....effect is the same....>^^
0:56 It looks like they filmed this the same day they did Hall of the Mountain King. Could it be a continuation after they disappeared from HotMK?
I want Dave to do asmr just him talking me to sleep.
Great Reaction
The Wilhelm Scream was also used in _We Don't Talk About Bruno._
@@aussiebloke609 Actually incorrect, it was audio from a video of a screaming goat. It does sound similar though
Thanks 😊
Cesar tried to be creepy, but just looked cute. XD
They are skattin'!
I love this and your reactions. If you want a new earth dragon, listen to The Cog is Dead
I WANT CESAR'S EARS & ELI'S HANDS.

Yes, but version 3 would be great if they brought Elizabeth and Rachel in to battle voices for control of the Grundels.
@@FLNatureGuy OMG yes! And wouldn't that be an awesome video - there's so much music to choose from, depending on how they intend to coax the Grundels to their side.

@6:57 is totally Bowser Castle vibes.
Your facial expressions make this reaction.
I only know "for Elise" by Beethoven? The rest I don't know. Can someone pls put the classicals in the comments? So I can search them on yt😊
❤️❤️
Maybe it was the availability of Rachel
😻
Do you remember Tim Storm? well... you need to listen to Navio de Sião by realvoice feat tim storm. Listen to it, it's impressive
Any patreon know if layne had played DnD as a Dungeon Master lol?
💙❤🤍💚🧡
