Idk how he pulled that voice out with that metric ton of gravel
Fucking fantastic!
Compression, and lots of it lol
He pulled from the mountain of Sisyphus itself.
@@yuuri9064Google lmao
@@yuuri9064 it’s a mixture of genetics, alchohal and smoking, and vocal distortion. When you do vocal distortion/compression/fry you constrict the muscles at the back of your throat that force air to pass from lungs and vibrate the fleshy parts around your vocal box, which creates “grit” in your vocal style.
Don’t know for sure here, but if you do ‘vocal fry’ and then turn up the volume, it gives you a safe kind of rock and rill distortion. Hopefully he’s doing something similar
Tom Waits fell unconscious and possessed Ross the moment he opened his mouth
All major artists have that power. Kanye uses it to spy on people.
I imagine he was in a studio or something and then hes like "hey i got to do something real quick"and then just *THUD* as his body hits the floor

I like how the translation button decided it needed just one more h
The fact that you not only have to be able to sing, but adlib, AND possess a working knowledge of the mythos of Sisyphus. I'm floored.
It's super easy to do this, you just need to get possessed by Sisyphus, who is himself being possessed by Tom Waits.
To be fair they do interview etc before the show to give the game changers an idea of their musical styles, interests, etc. they aren’t going to give them a singer or topic they know nothing about.
Also, the knowledge of the words carved above the gates of hell in Inferno
@@thedrunkenelfYeah I figured that would be the case when I saw one so an Animal Crossing Impression. They had to have known she knew that game.
@@TequilaToothpickthey're pretty open with the fact that they do try to tailor the prompts to the players, even writing some prompts specifically for one person.
The singing goes hard as fuck but lets also give props to the beat and piano because it fits SO WELL
Yeah! Dude killed it on all of these
As soon as the pianist started playing I was immediately like "oh man this guy knows Tom to a tee" 😂
Not really. The piano and beat started it and the singer had to come up with a voice to match it
@@Whiskers--5 They mean fitting the prompt
@@BroudbrunMusicMerge ohhhh
i like that it was clear nobody knew ross could do that with his voice
After the McDonalds McBeth, I exclusively expect him to pull out this type of voice
I mean, whoever made that prompt sure as hell did...
@@keithklassen5320 it was a book full of prompts and he chose it himself. But maybe whoever wrote those knew. There is a bts episode for this one.
That's why he was chosen for this prompt so they knew.
@@luf4rall They actually had a giant binder full of prompts to chose from, so Ross chose this one out of a lot of them. For obvious reasons, since he fuckin nailed it.
I love that it just turns into a deleted Hadestown song at the end lol
same lmao
I mean it kinda started as one too, I love it
@@daometh They're bots.
Thought he said hades' town
Same XD
"Offended the Gods."
Bro locked Death Incarnate in a box until Ares and Hades got suspicious
The version I read is he invited Hades over for dinner, and Hades, never having been invited to dinner by a mortal before, accepted. Sisyphus tied him up and left him there. 😂 And as long as Hades was tied up, no-one could die.
@@benjaminoechsli1941 the story varies on wether it was Thanatos or Hades
@@benjaminoechsli1941well it wouldn’t matter because Hades isn’t the god of death. Thanatos is.
My favorite part of that myth was how long it took them to *get* suspicious
@@kanakomonsen9114 well Hades does have a lot of work. And what are years to immortal beings?
I’ve never heard of Tom Waits but I just know he nailed the fuck out of that prompt.
Do yourself a favor. Personal recommendations are God's Away on Business, Hell Broke Luce, Hope I Never Fall in Love with You, and if you want something particularly silly, The Piano Has Been Drinking
In addition to the fantastic Tom Waits songs suggested by Spider Mike Jr, I recommend listening to some of his more beautiful ballads, Alice, and Georgia Lee a listen. (Fair warning, Georgia Lee is a sad one).
I don't wanna frow old
Waltz in Matilda
Hell Broke Luce is a phenomenal and deep song.
His voice goes hard as fuck, I love it

LITERALLY! So impressive, theres being an improv professional and then theres THIS like... omg
And thats the Gospel Truth!
I wouldn't call it a masterpiece but it was pretty good.
This whole episode is musical imporv genius
Was THAT improvised??? That's fucking insane (I haven't seen the whole thing, don't at me too bad)
One must imagine Sisyphus happy
waiting for sisyphus to finish his set so I can use the equipment
underrated comment^ @@BananaMike780
He's pretty chill in Hades, just him and baldy
I can, but Camus?
CAMU!!
Could you not imagine some classic Disney animation of some boatman rowing someone through the Styx, who was silent right up until they enter Tartarus just pull his hood down and start singing this to the probably child character whose come to save maybe a sibling or something, with like, spectral skeletons snapping in unison around him, the big flares of fires and the drops of the river and such. It’s such a clearly perfect musical including to some Greco inspired Disney family film. Like, as soon as he hits “hadestown” the boat drops off of a ledge into another section of river with that sign lazily hanging up with all sorts of colourful ghouls and goblins skulking around
Im thinking “John Henry” style- it be so good 😫
SO MUCH THIS!
I believe that we'll know where to search for a cast of characters to revitalize cartoons after disney finally dies.
And it could have a couple other verses, each one pertaining to a different myth/punishment!
Give it to me now. With Ross as the Boatman.
The instruments are played by skeletons who rock up on a different ferry completely unprompted.
Also one of them plays another’s vertebrae like a xylophone at one point.

@@markm.9062 I liked when he said ‘It’s Waits Time’ and then he Hadestowned all over

Same
Lizard money works too
Where can one acquire thisss human currencccccccy?... Asking for a fellow human I call, friend.
I'd buy it with dog money
Me personally, spirit money.
Beginning the song with 'abandon all hope ye who enter here' and ending it with 'Hadestown' is absolutely, absolutely brilliant.
Absolutely amazing
Bravo, Vince!
I have to say as a Tom Waits fan. He f-ing NAILED Waits’ voice.
It makes perfect sense to me that Tom Waits singing about Greek mythology is just straight up Hadestown
"when he was aliiive"
sam: aæuhh 😩
Sam cuming to good music sounds about right
😆 spelling on point for Sam's little noise of glee.
I can't- 😂
I know "improv god" is basically a requirement on the CollegeHumor job application, but it still blows my mind how they come up with 1) the music and 2) the lyrics to these incredible songs _on the fly._ Phenomenal work.
This and "The Official Cast Recording" are easily in the top 5 of Game Changer for me.
There's no way this wasn't staged o_o
@@RicardoMontania once you work on improv, it gets easier. Then there's people who are just talented to do it on the spot, like Harry Mac, who does full free styles on the spot.
@@RicardoMontania there are hundreds of prompts they can choose from in the episode, but they have also had other episodes where they come up with songs on the fly. Additionally, they have a whole new show on the concept - Play it by ear - and other shows have done this plenty of times. The classic "whose line is it anyways" did this every episode as the last prompt. Check out Wayne Brady, he's the OG on-the-fly song writer and has been doing it for decades.
@@andreidinu7316 Dude, the Harry Mack episode on Marc Rebillet's YT channel..... damn

There is improv, and there is THAT
Ross: “HAS GOT TO COME DOOOOWN”

Ross is not a human being. He was sent here. I do not know from where
Probably Hadestown
When he started singing I lost it 😂
@here is the full clip nope that's a bot
I gasped and had to cover my mouth. Ross Bryant is really impressive, I've quickly become a huge fan of his since he first appeared on Make Some Noise just a few months ago!
So did sam XD
sam's little "got to come down" is so fhcking funny to me because he was clearly freaking the fuck out over how clever the lyrics were but didn't want to interrupt the flow of the song, so he expressed his awe by way of back up vocals
honestly, spontaneous jazzy backup vocals is the coolest/most respectful way to be hype about improvised jazz lyrics.
I freaking lost it on that same part!
That's just editing homie.
I have no idea who Tom waits is, but this makes want to listen to them
Do it. Tom is the greatest. Listen to "Make it Rain", "16 shells from a thirty-ought six" or "Underground" and you can see where his trademark style comes from.
All the cool kids are Rain Dogs.
Go listen to rain dogs or closing time (not my fav era but important listen)
my favorite tom waits album is the black rider! apparently, that’s a harder one to get into lol. maybe go with frank’s wild years or mule variations first?
@@sophiatalksmusic3588 black rider rules but that’s for deep fans, I’d say the same for franks wild years. Honestly I tell most just to start with closing time and if they like weirder stuff start with rain dogs, good introduction for his weirder stuff
Seeing that voice come out of that person is simply wild.
Bruh look at Tom Waits
Look at any metal vocalist, Phil Bozeman, Randy Blythe, Mitch Lucker
Yeah, it’s kinda the same thing as watching the actual Tom Waits.
If you're seeing voices, that's wild enough.
@@killerrosebudiscool I always use Tatiana Shmaylyuk as a good example Lol

i LOVE it
HELP SO TRUE
ITS AMAZING
Bro it totally works
"ad libbed"
Got the good music chills listening to this incredible improv on everyone’s part
So this is what is what he was practicing in the panopticon.
8 months later and I still desperately need this as a single
I’m with you on that
2 months later still, and I too want to hear a full song of this
Here we are, a full year in

I'm listening to it for like the 15th time now and I can't help but to come to the conclusion that it has absolutely no right to go so hard ❤
AND YOU IMPROVED THIS?! FUCKING SICK AS HELL BRO!
Can we please appreciate the pianist that managed to follow his singing perfectly and made it sound so smooth?
I mean the pianist is great, but he played a pretty standard progression and having a general knowledge of music theory would make it an easy follow if you have the skill to come up with the lyrics. 4 bar intro to get a feel before it starts so he has the vibe, 8 bar verse (nice touch having an a and b theme across the verse) and then an 8 bar chorus. It's why it's really easy to predict the words (and a lot of the rhythms) of modern church music if you know enough words for basic rhyme recognition
@@timtheenchanter55 It might seem simple to you but I assure you that it's way more impressive than you think it is.
@@TonkarzOfSolSystemi mean the way he just described it, it seems like he’s knowledgeable enough to grasp what the pianist did
@@clearlynotchloe Yeah, I mean my point is that while someone with the skills and knowledge might consider it easy I think they're underestimating just how much more they know then your average layman.
@@TonkarzOfSolSystem ur right actually, i ddint consider that. i think he’s underselling both his and the pianist’s talent
Was literally thinking "wow this has Patrick Page in Hadestown vibes" then he sang that line at the end xD how much do I have to pay this man for a full version?
right!!!
agreed, my new alarm btw :'D!
YES PLEASE!
It would fit in after wait for me or the reprise
“And the crowd goes wild with recognition” is probably my favorite part about this.
This is the best improv I have seen on this show and considering the amazing things we've all seen the contestants have done across episodes that's a pretty tall order.
My Gods! He didn't just nail it, he built a whole fucking house out of it!
Damn that's good!!
Right?!? It's just mmm!
what's he building in there?
@@bruceusername damn, you beat me to it 😁
Sam adlibing "GOT TO COME DOWN!" Out of excitement makes my day every time.
Incredible
I swear if it was an actual Hadestown song, those adlibs would definitely be in there 😂
I was right there with Sam even before the camera cut to him 😂
One of the most brilliant musical improvisations I've ever seen.
Ok, he just gave the best answer I have ever heard
This. This is the hardest improv from my humble perspective.
Not only do you need near encyclopedic knowledge of what makes singers/genres unique, you need to be able to rhyme on command, all while keeping it thematically appropriate. And you need to sound good, too.
Entirely agree
Yeah seems very staged
@@freethekingfisher6032normally i would agree, but i've seen play it by ear which is basically just this but for a whole hour, building an entire story, and yeah no i'm not surprised anymore. I mean- i guess it is staged in that they deliberately tailor the questions to the guests' talents, all the guests they got this ep where people who aleady had experience in "musical comedy improv"
@@freethekingfisher6032 Honestly, I think this is much easier for some people than it is for others. I'm pretty stupid about math and science, but improvising themed songs like this on the spot is almost effortless for me. I'm not nearly as good as this guy, but it wouldn't take an insane amount of training for me to get there either.
Which isn't to discount the skill needed to do this, I just mean to say that it isn't impossible to the point of questioning its sincerity.
They got to choose from a list of prompts so he probably had a bit of time to come up with some basic ideas while choosing.
The way he relaxes after every verse like he's being POSSESSED
his whole body tension was amazing
Somewhere Tom Waits had an out of body experience
@@lauratruxillo6264 HAHA like he got spiritually teleported into the room for a few minutes and was sent back when done.
By syfilus
cuz he was fuckin possessed by the muses themselves baby!
One of the greatest improvisers of our era. Thank goodness for dropout bringing these gems to masses
"Abandon all hope, ye who enter here"
what a great line from Dante's Inferno
His voice really sounds like what a canon Disney villain's voice would be and i highly respect that.

@@geoffreyschuchardt5350yessir
I would listen to this all day
@@jackpage7843 same.
Absolutely
I've listened to this so many times and I will do so even more
I refuse to believe homie came up with this off the dome, hearing this melody for the first time. No one man can have that much talent.
Ross is no mere man
So props to the guy singing, but double to props goes to the guy playing the keyboard. Listening to the queues for tempo change in someone's voice on the fly is CRAZY difficult. Give that man a raise.
This! Seriously
Yeah, love to appreciate good talent.
what are you talking about it's nearly the same tempo all the way through. It goes from being steady on 115 and steps up to 117 in small increments. If you're following someone's voice being forward on the beat that isn't a direct cue to you increasing the tempo, in fact that would generally be considered inconsistent. We're not talking some super rhythmically tight genre of music where these things truly matter. This is Tom Waits where the more drunk and swingy everything sounds the better. The very slight tempo increases could very well be planned, especially considering that the drum track is probably running as a sequence.
@Gwen Nah definitely a temp change, better luck next time Gwen.
Pretty sure he just played the piano and the guy sang along. You know, how it normally works
"And the crowd goes wild with recognition." He said it. He delivered. Im madly impressed and i want more. Also mad respect to the musician the thing sounds Waits from top to bottom.
Yeah I was not expecting him to get the voice but he was actually really good
I must admit I'm impressed with his impersonation.
I'm just trying to imagine what it was like to improvise these with only piano, because the post-production drums and sound effects are just so perfect!
I like the part where Tom Waits sensed he was called upon and did what must be done.
As a Tom waits fan i didn't think it was going to be that good, UNTIL he opened his mouth and fucking magic poured out! 🎉🎉🎉

Kind of doubt it considering he’s said he hates the Internet I think.

This literally could not have been written any better
I love how Sam was one of the responsable of saving the company in to dropout by just making the stars entretain him, it's glorious.
Dropout is the only subscription I feel good about buying. I discovered college humour back when they would host picnicface sketches, they were a small comedy troupe from near my home who did really ahead of it’s time stuff. Been a huge fan ever since, and the D20 content alone on dropout is worth the $8 a month.
@@TripleXMangoI miss dropout to be honest I'm gonna make room in my budget to get it you've reminded me it's good to enjoy

@@PaulGuyyeah, and its fantastic!
@@TripleXMango Same. Picnicface, Jake and Amir, all the old sketches they used to do, but it dropped off with Adam Conover and that new generation.
I had seen some Game Changer stuff, but when I realised it was Sam hosting it, I made the connection it was Collegehumor. I love the new players, and still having Josh around to do the Seagull is amazing, I'm glad the creators of half my childhood jokes between me and my friends are still going and better than ever.

Feel like the guy with the black hair can’t sing lol
This is gold. Every bit of it. The layers that make this fantastic…
The second he opened his mouth my brain inserted it into hadestown so I'm so glad he validated that for me
The fact that I can pin this solidly to a specific era of Waits' music is a testament to this masterful improv.
Could u maybe tell me what era or what albums/songs kinda bc this song lowkey made me want to get into Tom waits
@@trashpanda2200 chocolate Jesus might be a good start
@@trashpanda2200 The structure and melody seems straight out of the new works he did for the Brawlers portion of 'Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards' collection (partially unreleased older songs that didn't quite mesh in the albums he was working on in the past, part newer material, about an even split iirc), which is smack in the middle of the album Mule Variations (which this also would fit into stylistically, if slightly less, probably mostly similar to the Glitter & Doom live version of 'Get Behind the Mule') and 'Real Gone' (this improv piece does remind me a bit of 'Don't Into That Barn' off that album). Vocal performance, he seems to be emulating the Glitter & Doom tour era before Waits' voice started to fail him a bit live, but after he started shifting to more of a holler & shout style of singing.
So yeah, this is the 1999-mid-00's Waits era more or less. There's probably stuff you'd like off 'Mule Variations', 'Alice', 'Blood Money', 'Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards', and 'Real Gone' (a five year period of time, he was wildly prolific so late in his career). And if you haven't heard the Glitter & Doom live album, I def recommend it, his live versions of songs can be wildly different than the album versions.
Some tracks to start with similar to this if you like this vibe:
"Get Behind the Mule" off Glitter and Doom live album
"Don't Go Into That Barn" off Real Gone
"God's Away on Business" off Blood Money
"Come On up To The House' off Mule Variations
"2:19" off Brawlers, Bawlers, and Bastards.
And then there's some personal favourites:
"Clap Hands" off Rain Dogs
"Black Wings" off Bone Machine
"16 Shells From A 30.6" off Swordfishtrombones
"Rain Dogs" off Rain Dogs
"Alice" off of Alice
@@tomascinnsealeach9979 I'm partial to the live performance here out of what's available on youtube: ruclips.net/video/5c5dlaOzOC0/видео.html

He;s got a ton of music that's weird, growly, bluesy, avant garde, etc... but he also has tons of smooth love songs, tragic ballads, swinging tunes. He's the man of many voices and the man of many genres. He writes with a humor and pain that feels older than he was when he wrote them. Easily one of the greatest songwriters of all time.
@@riven5544 lol just remembered "Fish in the Jailhouse" music.ruclips.net/video/xiXsIKJSRnA/видео.html&feature=share
@@riven5544 ‘Way Down Hadestown’ ‘When the Chips are Down’ ‘Why we Build the Wall’
These are three songs that fit the song vibes really well, especially the last one 👍
That was a seriously bad ass song!!!
This is insane. It’s so incredible I have a hard time believing it’s improve, but if it is let that just stand as a massive compliment.
