That high note at the end was originally planned for Eli, but Cesar told him he could do it. So, Eli told him to try it and he did so well that Eli let his version rule. Great comradery.
Believe it or not, Cesar was actually on the highest part on the final high "dream on", a G#5 for a Baritenor is so impressive! Plus i love Geoff's line in that verse. Going as low as an F1 with subharmonics to as high as a C4 (then C3 and then C2, 2 Octaves and 4 Tones)
Came here to say this! Cesar on that high note and Eli singing the lower harmony with his gritty rock tenor aaaahhrhhrrrjjj I almost fell off my chair first time I heard it! Head to toe chills
From someone who was in high school (eeeeek) when this first came out, I've got to say this cover is nothing short of amazing! I love how they slowed it down a bit and gave it a more nostalgic feeling. Pretty cool for Eli since this was his old high school. Me too since I have a reunion coming up. I was waiting for that high Tyler scream from Eli and got a bonus there. Did not expect it to be in harmony. I loved the echo effect at the very end. And those runs! Geoff's lows complementing the tenors, Layne with some cool sounds, the perfect guest in Omar, Eli and his rock voice, and Cesar just keeps impressing me more and more. He even got to rock the mohawk this time. Omar has done a lot with them recently including a bunch of shorts so I'm hoping he'll join them as the fifth member. These guys just keep them coming!! Fun facts: there is an old "blood stained" dentist chair in the basement left over from a horror movie shoot and Cesar and Omar were singing I've Had the Time of My Life, complete with the lift, during breaks.
Hey, I was a college graduate and in graduate school when this came out!! Although now I can certainly identify with the "every time I look in the mirror, the lines on my face are getting clearer" line!!
I keep listening to it on repeat. Their voices and their intensity is so haunting you can feel the emotion in your soul. Incredible visuals too. Can't get enough of this and I loved the original too.
It’s SO different from the original and I’m here for it! I love when these guys make things their own. How about those tenors, though! Epic. Great reaction!
Great reaction, Chris! I am very old, and swear, I never heard this song before. I went and listened to the original, and of course, I think Voiceplay added so much to it. It is haunting, harrowing, and hopeful, all at the same time. Thanx for jumping on this right away!!
I don't know anything about singing and how to do it well. I don't know anything about the technical aspects of singing. But even a musical dummy like me can recognize genius when I hear it. And Voice Play is genius.
Great reaction. I was just watching a video where Cesar was doing commentary and it was actually him who did the high notes. Impressive! But they are all so good!!!
Surprisingly, though, I think it was Omar and CESAR doing the really high notes. Based on what they’re doing physically in the video, it looks like Eli is doing slightly lower harmony. So what do you think of the chances they’ll ever perform this one live? If they do they’re going to need to change the arrangement in a few places because it relies so heavily on effects and editing in post. I love the way Geoff takes some of the slides DOWN instead of up as in the original. As you say, so many surprises. And his slides in this are SO clean. Layne’s new beatbox riff (whatever the heck it was) is something else, too, and the high harmonies are killer. Great reaction, Chris! Hope all is well with you!
Someone correct me if I'm wrong? But in the classic high note from that song I think it's Omar, Caesar and then Eli. If it is that is a total flip I never saw coming and I would really like to know who came up with it if it is that way.
@@ericbogie8111 I don’t think anybody has established Cesar’s range yet, but yeah, I think it looks/sounds like he’s up there with Omar in that section. Eli can also hit notes that high but maybe they needed his power in the mid range. He has a really strong voice. Also, I think those high notes are close to the edge of his range (at least that’s been recorded). If he even had a sniffle that could affect his ability to get up there (at least it always does with me-if my allergies are going I can take at least half an octave off my range on both ends-MIGHT hit the notes but it will not sound good.)
I don’t know if it’s been commented but that super high note was actually Cesar, he said so when he did creator commentary during a Mortius reaction to the song
Was that Cesar on top on that high refrain? I know he was the only one singing the words, “dream on” immediately prior, and it LOOKED to me like he was the one who jumped up the octave. Impressive!
I'm still waiting for this version to grow on me. I was really wanting Eli to rock it hard, but they softened it instead. I appreciate a good bass drop, but, in my opinion, it doesn't belong in some places. Again, only my opinion. That being said, there were some really impressive parts as well.
It took several plays for me to appreciate it for what it is. I too was waiting for Eli metal scream on this one. But it's getting there. Still great for the most part just not what I expected from them.
@@laundrygoddess4 I've watched it several times now and they just missed the mark for me. That's ok, there's nothing wrong with a difference in opinion. That's what keeps things from becoming stagnant and boring in life.
I agree with the bass parts sometimes it wasn't needed. The three tenors killed it. Especially Eli. His "dream on" low part is FREAKING eargasmic sometimes going high is not too necessary but I understand that for this song is the greatest highlight. I adore Eli very much.

I saw another reaction video today that Cesar was a part of, and it was actually Cesar that did the high note there. Was determined he did a G5.
Hey Chris, so that high note.. was actually Caesar and he is very proud of it. Which he should be!
I watched a live reaction with Mortius and Cesar. Cesar is the one hitting that HIGH note.
Got me over here like "well, sugar!" That was outrageous.

Biscuits be flying! Love this❤️
I've never been that crazy about this song, but I am now! As usual with Voice Play (and Home Free), they did an upgrade, and not just a cover.
You have that right. Voiceplay and Home Free can take songs I've loved and make them better and songs I've never liked and make me like them
Biggest Aerosmith geek in the world and this was epic. Omar and Ceaar on Steven's high scream was ridiculous. Jeeze. Such an awesome cover.
The arrangement 🤯🤯🤯❤️🙌🙌
It’s SO different from the original and I’m here for it! I love when these guys make things their own. How about those tenors, though! Epic. Great reaction!
This was AMAZING, wasn’t it? Loved your reaction. Keep up the great work
Love, Love and LOVE IT!!!!!

One of my favorite songs covered by one of my favorite groups! Thank you SO much for reacting to this!💛💛

Chris, the riff that Layne was using kinda sounded like a chopper/helicopter to me! The popping sound as it traveled 'in and out' quickly!
@@lkayh Cesar said in an interview that it was he who did the high be Stephen Tyler scream.
@@jamespauldelashmit2173 I think he was imitating the sounds of critters running around in an old, rundown, abandoned building.
I don’t know if it’s been commented but that super high note was actually Cesar, he said so when he did creator commentary during a Mortius reaction to the song
Omar did The Dragonborn Comes Skyrim with VoicePlay too.
Fantastic cover! The voices and arrangement are outstanding.
the really high bit was Cesar ❤️🏴
EPIC!! 🤯🔥
Love the arrangement. The vocals are stunning. Thanks for your reaction
Check out Geoff's new solo in The Rains of Castamere. All I have to say is WOW.
Was that Cesar on top on that high refrain? I know he was the only one singing the words, “dream on” immediately prior, and it LOOKED to me like he was the one who jumped up the octave. Impressive!
I would have to go back and see because I wasn't sure myself.
It was Cesar. I saw a video where he said it was him.
Uhm, I'm here for an order of biscuits, please? 😎
(4:43, there it is! -lol)
I was looking at your reactions and I don't think you've reacted to Geoff's Sixteen Tons. If you haven't, you need to! It's sooooooo good.
It was actually Cesar doing the high notes because he did another reaction with another RUclipsr and he said it was him doing the high notes
The really high note was a G#5 and it was Cesar
It’s cesar
If it's f minor, it's Ab, not G#.

Have the same opinion on some of the drops-not needed

Wasn't that amazing?
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
