My voice gets deeper, my beard i just shaved grew back in even thicker. My mustache is so dense it can sand titanium. My balls dropped even lower. This is what he does to me. I just accidentally built a forge, apparently I'm also a blacksmith now. This guy!
This cover is based off of Rockapella's version of the song. Geoff has said their bassist Barry Carl is his favorite bassist. Various country artists have recorded it the most famous two being Tennessee Ernie Ford and Johnny Cash.
Congrats on 50k (now 52.5, yay!) subs. I kept my word and subscribed too, cause you did this one and Unchained Melody by VoicePlay. Geoff is not human, how can he do that!! I love him
Oh yes, since he released that song I wanted you to react to it because I know it's gonna make you shiver. I love this cover so much. Thanks Brad for your videos Grabbing pop corn
You made it! Congrats on your 50K subs!! 🎉👍🏻 Here’s to the next 50K or more!! So, about Geoff and his low notes! I love this video! I’ve already seen it a few times and I watch every time it shows up on my home page! 4 Geoffs in those white tank shirts singing in that low register is too much (not really! ☺️)! He never disappoints! I heard a little bit of “Oogie Boogie” in the “Bless my soul” part! 😂 Those harmonies were so dreamy!! Loved your expressions when he hit that super low note!
I love his use of mining tools as percussion instruments. Alot of bass singers harmonize with themselves, like Tomi P., Dan Mirabal and both Tims Storm and Foust. Peter Hollens has some videos with well over 100 of his voices layered. Like for his "Skyrim" and "Star Wars" Medleys. It's too bad the So Hyang video got blocked. Have you heard of Nsang De Torres, she sang "Salamat Salamat Musica" on The Wish Bus. She also sang with the TNT Boys on Your Face Sounds Familiar and elsewhere.
@@ambvurt3739 Geoff confirmed there were no subharmonics used in this one. The "dumm" sounds are part of the backing track - digital, not his voice (per his Patreon chat).
@@maeco7 ok, I'm a broke 16yo so I can't afford patreon so I wouldn't know what's been said, and the texture of the dumm's are very similar to the EQ'ed subharmonics that voiceplay use. My mistake for being poor no offense meant.
@@ambvurt3739 No worries - I just meant to pass on the information, not to make you feel bad about not being a Patreon! It really does sound like his subharmonics - lots of people have said the same thing. The only reason I know it's not is because he explained it.
This is awesome! I first remember Tennessee Ernie Ford singing this back in the 50s!! Johnny Cash, Jimmy Dean & even Lorne Greene(dad on Bonanza) recorded this!! Has he sung Big John yet? Love his voice! Nice reaction!M
Tennessee Ernie Ford was a bass-baritone singer. He was a classically trained singer, but found jobs on radio doing 'hillbilly' personality type. At one point, he also was singing too & was discovered by a Capitol records scout. He then got his own TV show while also doing snippets on radio. He released almost 50 country singles through the early 1950s, several of which made the charts. He gained national fame in 1954 as the 'country bumpkin', "Cousin Ernie", on three episodes of I Love Lucy. In 1955, Ford recorded "The Ballad of Davy Crockett" (which reached number 4 on the country music chart) with "Farewell to the Mountains" on side B. Ford scored an unexpected hit on the pop charts in 1955 with his rendering of "Sixteen Tons", a sparsely arranged coal-miner's lament. Merle Travis had first recorded it in 1946. It reflected experiences of the Travis family in the mines at Muhlenberg County, Kentucky. It spent ten weeks at number one on the country charts and seven weeks at number one on the pop charts. The record sold over twenty million copies, and was awarded a gold disc. The song made Ford a crossover star, and became his signature song. He later went on to do an evening variety show incorporating a lot of gospel songs to end them & then when he did a talk show. Eventually, he did guest spots on others' shows, then became a spokesman & eventually retired. ua-cam.com/video/pLVtJkpl_ug/v-deo.html ========== From SW PA. Great-grandfather & grandfather were miners. [Pittsburgh was known for having high level of pollution from the mills. It would erode nylons. Irony? I read somewhere (not sure true) the U.S. still has a large resource but now ship out to foreign countries to produce steel at a cheaper cost.] There's a symbiotic relationship that's missed in why coal & ore mines were existing. Majority was for manufacturing specifically steel mills. Didn't have the tractor-trailers so rail & river were the modes & still are for raw resources then manufactured steel. Means railroad cars would fill up on coal or ore & go to either the river to dump on barges and/or the finished product would be shipped up river to auto manufacturers or rail for steel in buildings. Why explain this? It was so popular because many experienced it in either factories or mines. In my area steel mills were peppered around the rivers & the coal/ore mines were developed near deposits. In PA, we called the small communities 'patches'. They could be stuck near train lines (now defunct) or near rivers. Many times farms would be surrounding them. Unlike cities, there were no supermarkets. Grew vegetables & fruit in yard along with had chickens & pigs. There would be vendors came by on certain days for milk. There are still a few coal/ore mines but not that many as times have changed. Many are closed as the resource dried up or, supply diminished. My great-grandfather & others managed to buy their houses AFTER the company closed down. My grandfather, his children were all born in that house. The house is over 160 years old. His sister my great-aunt lived there until she died at the age of 104. Both my great-grandfather & grandfather died of 'black lung" and "lung cancer' (of course these type of guys smoked packs of cigarettes daily). I drive around I can see these patches still living on.
You seem to have forgotten his appearances on "Hee Haw". Great commentary though. I am familiar with coal mining and rail and water shipping of said product, but even more so the use of coal to heat my house where I grew up here in East Tennessee. We had both deep mines and strip mines where complete mountain tops were ripped off to get the coal without having to go deep underground. Some remnants of our mining can be seen in the movie "October Skies" which was partly filmed in the town where I grew up (Oliver Springs, TN).
If there was ever a song written that he myst cover then this is it. The original is great and I have heard so many bass singers do it. Congrats on the 50k btw
This cover is amazing. Have another recommendation for you. UA-cam is the only place you'll find this one (it's on none of their of albums or on Spotify, to my great dismay): Home Free's cover of Wagon Wheel/Song of the South. Some amazing bass work on that one.
VoicePlay has a new vid with John Pinto Jr, and they have another coming out either this week or next week. Since you’re a patron, I’m pretty sure you saw that they’re posting two videos a month now. That excites me. :) I’m sure it does with you too.
Geoff literally has no chill (except in Mele Kalikimaka) in every video he makes, I try imitating him, well its close but the quality was far from what he is sounds of.
If want another video with crazy low notes you can listen to Eric Hollaway's cover of "16 tones", Ivan Rebroff's "Im tiefen keller" or Dmitry Seleznov "Bandura". Last one is not that crazy low, but he has amazing bass voice.
Brad.... I wish you wouldn't call his shirt a wife-beater shirt I think the best description of it let's say it's a muscle shirt Other than that I'd like your reactions And congratulations on the 50k!!
Hey man, you should really consider listening to, Tim storms alpha stream lonesome road, if you really love the bass voices after all he's the Guinness World record for the lowest note ever sung
They call this style of shirt a "wife beater" due to the common issues of aggressive behavior seen in the people who prefer it. Mainly low-end working class (miners, farmers, factory workers) whose social circle still are closer to the 1910s than the 2010s and in many cases will still ignore a man whose wife doesn't show a certain amount of respect for him.
You can see it in his eyes when he's about to do the thing with the voice. Like a confident shonen protagonist.
4:05 - "I knew it. I could feel he was about to do something crazy."..... (grabbing my popcorn... you haven't seen anything yet)
That finale, an earth quake rumbles nicer
Geoff: "Sooome...."
Brad: "Oh lord..."
I was wheezing so hard🤣🤣🤣🤣
I've been training my voice based on his channel and his tips, and after 6-7 months I can sing this song along. It feels great!
Ditto
My voice gets deeper, my beard i just shaved grew back in even thicker. My mustache is so dense it can sand titanium. My balls dropped even lower. This is what he does to me. I just accidentally built a forge, apparently I'm also a blacksmith now. This guy!

It was originally written by Merle Travis and highly popularized By Tennessee Ernie Ford
Yes, yes, ....I can't wait to see your face, sir, when he hits that final note. I would LOVE to hear this guy cover "Big John".
He did
pepeLaugh oh no no no I'm from the future and this guy lacked critical information
Your facial expressions had me laughing so hard! You should watch this with captions on. And show this to Emily.
Congrats on 50k (now 52.5, yay!) subs. I kept my word and subscribed too, cause you did this one and Unchained Melody by VoicePlay.
Geoff is not human, how can he do that!! I love him
Congrats on the 50k subs Brad. This is worth another reaction with Emily
Please. I want to see how much this makes her melt.
And it happened
Oh yes, since he released that song I wanted you to react to it because I know it's gonna make you shiver.
I love this cover so much. Thanks Brad for your videos

let's not forget avi👍
I haven't seen him layer with himself yet. If you could link me a video that would be great.
Emily is going to be beside herself on this one! I knew you were gonna love this one! Great reaction, as always! ❤
The fact that this is all in chest makes me hate him more, with love obviously. xD
it isn't there are several subharmonics scattered throughout the low "dumm" with screen shakes are subharmonics
@REVERB, Geoff even said this song was done all in full voice with no subharmonics

I think he went through the basement on that one! Absolutely insane!
I was waiting for this video from the second he released this song no one else reacts better than you!!!
love you brad!!!

The story of this song is truly heartbreaking... So many people worked to death, under the LIE that they were earning a living.
Congratulations on 50k you’ve done such an amazing job it’s crazy to see 50k subs I subscribed when you had less than 1k it’s amazing

50K, yay!
Check out Castellucci‘s Misty Mountain cold it’s unbelievable
Hi Brad, you should check out Tim Faust’s cover of the Long BlackTrain. He teams up with Chris Rupp and knocks it out of the park.
Talent!
First time I heard this song it was Jim Neighbors (Gomer Pyle) singing it live.
Brad! You can sing GREAT!! :)
Thanks so much!
Yeh! 50k.
VoicePlay has a new vid with John Pinto Jr, and they have another coming out either this week or next week. Since you’re a patron, I’m pretty sure you saw that they’re posting two videos a month now. That excites me. :) I’m sure it does with you too.
Can you react to this again with your girlfriend
Soon to be Wife
Have you covered his version of Blackbird?
Geoff literally has no chill (except in Mele Kalikimaka) in every video he makes, I try imitating him, well its close but the quality was far from what he is sounds of.
What is up with these bass singers with crazy range? Geoff, Tim Foust
Avi Kaplan
This thumbnail will follow me for the rest of my life
This was one of like three times that I actually laughed at the thumbnail before I posted
I like the background

Just a reminder. Please watch Ivan Rebroff. 'Im tieffen Keller'. 4.5 octave range. Just staggering.
If want another video with crazy low notes you can listen to Eric Hollaway's cover of "16 tones", Ivan Rebroff's "Im tiefen keller" or Dmitry Seleznov "Bandura".
Last one is not that crazy low, but he has amazing bass voice.
He could pull off flowers on the wall..and 52 cards
Brad.... I wish you wouldn't call his shirt a wife-beater shirt I think the best description of it let's say it's a muscle shirt Other than that I'd like your reactions And congratulations on the 50k!!
“It would mean the world if I could get 50k subs by this Saturday”

YOu would love Chris Rupp's LOng black train with Tim
React with girlfriend and have the subtitles on
The intro is awesome. Just saying
Do this one with emily
Wife beater? What's that? Can you plz react to Chris Rupp ft Tim Foust Long Black train
It's a slang term for the type of tank top the Geoffs are wearing.
They call this style of shirt a "wife beater" due to the common issues of aggressive behavior seen in the people who prefer it. Mainly low-end working class (miners, farmers, factory workers) whose social circle still are closer to the 1910s than the 2010s and in many cases will still ignore a man whose wife doesn't show a certain amount of respect for him.
you should get your fiancée's reaction to this..
You need to watch this with the fiancé! She’d lose it!
Oh wow 0 like down ooo
Apparently, all chest. No subs!!!!
Amazing that so many reaction channels exist... the last refuge of the truly talent-free (excepting the for the Kardashians who are a step lower).
