Dude! I think we all did! Lol. The first time watching this, I HAD to pause at LEAST 50 times! Not even exaggerating! I have to know what goes through your mind when making these arrangements!! ESPECIALLY this one! How does one come up with such killer arrangements like this at just 18 years old?! Also, how were you guys able to pull something like THIS off virtually from around the world?! You're insane, dude! This is one of the most, if not THE MOST, intense acapella arrangement EVER!! And this is coming from someone who has been listening to acapella for about 8 years. I have listened to so many groups and songs over those 8 years and out of EVERYTHING I have heard so far, THIS was one of the most TOP NOTCH ones!! Love your arrangements, man! I see a bright future for you, dude!! Keep up the great work!!
I love how excited you get at seeing the project you've helped work on come to fruition. I believe the reason the Bass Gang has done such amazing work so far is because of the levels of passion everyone brings to the group.
It's unbelievable to see your emotions like "men you did it, you did it all" you deserve, cause you are amazing and have an amazing voice with an amazing group!! Lot of respect, because your "almost" tears in this video is my tears seeing you sing and you grow, you deserve so much!! love you men!! seriously you guys are amazing!!
Peter, Peter, Peter....lol lol lol....such happiness! Dear, sweet, bassie boys....I keep going back and listening to these marvelous voices over....and over....and over....I am so far down the vocal trail. Marwan, Tomi, you....all of you....every iteration and version of you. God bless the basses....God bless the baritones....God bless the tenors....God bless your male singers everywhere no matter how high or how low they sing. God bless them!
Very high praise here, a good male singer just soothes the soul, not to say female singers aren't amazing, but when a great male singer goes crazy high or crazy low it brings tears to the eyes.
OMG guys.....wow....absolutely loved it. I loved the "duets" you guys had with eachother. Also enjoyed all of the slides....what a fun ride. And Jonathan......wow. His high, raspy belts near the end were rather Jack Blackish
I comment....then I watch more....then I cry and here I am AGAIN ....you are still singing, still loving your boys, your performances, your proud-papa-eyes betraying it all. Love 💓 you Peter. Wonderful song. Great video. Fabulous arrangement, choreography, costuming. I'm running out of words. All I can do is head-bob, grin, and listen listen listen listen....
Can we get tshirts with Bass Gang on the back, and on the front they say O.P.M Then underneath that it spells out the rest of Operatic Power Moan. I'd buy one.
Was great seeing your enthusiasm and excitement listening, analyzing and breaking down this song. It was such an exciting arrangement. I loved listening to it over and over. Magnificent job.
Astonishingly great! Y'all are amazing and Jonathan Young is a big favorite of mine. Just super wow. If I had money I would sure be tossing some your way, you & the BG & JY (and Avi, love your work with him, too) simply make the world a much better sounding planet!
your genuine enjoyment, love & respect for your singing crew is awesome. Reacting to yourself must be equal parts cool & jarring, heehee. Amazing work guys!!
I'm quite a recent subscriber to yourself, Peter, and the Bass Gang but going back through what you've all done is proving to be great fun (and also informative). I love how excited you became over seeing all the hard work, from all of you, come together in it's final format - you were like a kid on Christmas morning seeing his pile of presents and not knowing where to start! Your delight and pride is so obvious and definitely justified! This is a cracking performance from you all, in all aspects not just the vocal but production, arrangements; the whole shebang - love it! 👍 Jonathon Young fitted in perfectly here - what rock voice he has! I'm not in any way musical so hearing what notes were hit doesn't mean a lot to me but hearing you describe different vocal techniques is interesting. As a big rock fan, (I suspect from some of your reactions you're a bit of a rocker at heart yourself, young man 🤘😉) it's always puzzled me how those rock belters manage to consistently produce those sounds, especially night after night when on tour - presumably lots of practice at specific techniques and as much rest in between as possible?
Right from the start 😲😍😲😍😲 Ur reaction is so great. My jaw was dropped most of this song. We all know u guys can go super low and we know u guys have higher range but this song displayed that so well, omg Marwan high was so gorgeous. Not gonna lie I looked away from the video and thought a chick was added in and nope it was Marwan 😊 so pretty. I cannot WAIT to see where u guys take it from here bc these last 2 have just been shock and amazing
Whenever the Bass Gang puts out a video, I watch the video then I watch your reaction to it. I LOVE to watch your face through the whole thing and it is a BLAST! I LOVE THE BASS GANG!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Great reaction, really enjoyed the difference when the stereo sound kicked in. Hope you can keep it in future reactions. P.S. you had the cleanest kerchief, lol.
Marwan spillled some of his beans to Morticius and your analysis complemented it all beautifully to give us listeners a chance to catch up with what you all are doing. It sounds awesome and my only complaint is that it doesn't last centuries.
@@PeterBarber I would agree, its probably him, followed by you, then Marwan and then Bobby, of course marwan and bobby have the lowest chest notes too which is awesome.
That bass walk bobby does near the end is insane that's a Tim Foust classic where Bobby I think goes "Down, Down, going down in History" and ends with the C2 it's just talking which is what makes it super impressive
So amazing all of you did a great job I love your outfit in the video as well Congratulations best one I've seen so far other than the hide and seek video.
I'm late to the party (as always!), but I have to say - 1. You guys are amazing, in so, so many ways. The sheer talent on display here is overwhelming, both individually and as a collective, and it's a very special thing to watch the artist see their finished product for the first time, thank you for giving the world a glimpse of that experience. 2. (Sorry, this one might be wordy!) Thank you for sharing your knowledge of music in an honest and non-conceited way. Music has always fascinated me, and I have always been in awe of people who are capable of producing it. I had always wanted to learn how to sing, play instruments, etc., but never had a teacher who was able, or willing, to explain it in a way that I understood, and before I had finished elementary school I was relegated to writing reports because I was deemed incapable of learning anything about the actual art of making music, and I resigned myself to that truth. Since I started watching videos that you, other Bass Gang members, The Charismatic Voice, The Fairy Voice Mother, and others have put out, I have learned so much, you have a way of explaining techniques and terminology in a very professional but universally understandable way. I may never be able to sing or play instruments like I always dreamed, but you have helped me to realize the truth in the phrase, "Anyone can learn with the right teacher.", and also enriched my listening experience. 3. I'm positive Jonathan felt just as honoured to perform with you as you did with him! ❤ Keep being amazing!
You looked like a kid at Christmas! LOL Wow! This has got to be the best one yet. It shocks me when I remember Marwan is so young. You all deserve a million curtain calls, and a huge shoutout to whomever asked Jonathan to guest on this. This is so much better than the original!
this has got to be the cutest reaction I have seen. right up there with my 13 year old grandson nailing his viola placement at his last concert. high fives, big guy.
I can’t wait to see your analysis of this, but before I get distracted by all the info you’re going to put out here, I just wanted to tell you how amazing you are in this. Man, I’ve heard you do some incredible singing, but you just blew me away here. Also love your PERFORMANCE, over and above the singing.
Congratulations on making it into the program. And this was beyond amazing. There is no doubt that you love doing this, both the singing and the reacting.
Holy! 16.20 to 16.34 your soft vox in the upper register and that fast descant. ( I think you and the other dude were text swapping) Amazing. Thanks Peter this is epic. Loving the enthusiasm as well as you applying and pointing out technical applications.
I have watched this video several times and love all the Bass gang's works I used to be able to sing from 1st Alto "I'm a Woman" down to men's baritone, but I believe Bobby the one hitting that low bass note
They were unbelievable, as an alto bass women signer, this y a real relief and a joy. But I have to add to this your magnificent reaction, so beautiful. Thank them and more of that thanks you. Merci.
That was GREAT, Peter! It was like watching you, watching your children be born. Awesome smiles and I love you singing along with yourself. Congratulations again Bass Gang. I gave love to them as well, before coming here. Now... on with the show.
Congrats on the Santa Fe Opera. My sister was actually invited to do what you’re doing when she got out of college, so I know what an honor this is. (Side note-I always WISHED I had an opera voice, so I’m still seriously ticked at the fact that she passed up that opportunity-why??). I hope we get to see some of your work from there on your channel. As always, love your analyses!! Can’t wait until next week!! And I hope that Jonathan’s audience comes over to view this and stays to follow you guys!
This cover was sooooo amazing 😭 you guys keep one-upping yourselves in the best way possible! This is such a high-quality product, in every way. I love how there’s a showcase of, what, like 5 different bass singing techniques in this?! So cool! And yes, this whole song is one big pit viper. In fact, this whole EP just = pit viper. So so cool you guys!! 😆😆 Loved seeing everyone shine in their own ways while sounding incredible all together too! ❤️❤️ (and I highly enjoyed seeing how genuinely excited this makes you, just like the rest of us)
So nice to see your first time reaction, cause mine was kinda the same. First speechless mouth hang open, then smiling all the time, "oh my god!" 😆 I wasn't ready for this one! And it's so cool to see you all together with Jon! I'm kinda used to Jon's false fold subs (what you called "throat bass") as well as his high screams from watching him recording vocals on his Twitch stream - but I'm never prepared for it when I listen to a song for the first time and he goes *brrrr* or *let's go*. I'm always like "😮wtf"? 😅
Absolutely amazing, I got more and more excited with the next video, Jonathan, Marwan, Tomi, Bobby and u Peter such a good performance of this song congrats! :D
I think the video and audio turned out amazing, do you ever react to yourself and have to fight the urge to harshly judge yourself? I agree Jonathan Young is a legend, love his voice.
Marwan is an absolute genius in this arrangement. To be able to include so many various techniques in one piece is absolutely stunning. Good lord have mercy.
Having now watched all of volume 2 one thing that I noticed was that you all have learnt more about each others abilities. The arrangements seem to have got more challenging (especially Marwans!) as you know what you can ask of each other. E.g. really challenging bass line - no problem, high notes - OK can do! I'm really interested in what you'll do next.
I gotta say... After Mad World being like ALL basement bass... this felt almost "Baritone". I'm loving it though, and I think Marwan arranged this to really show off that Jonathan Bass Growl thing he do. Tomi P doing what Tomi P do with that Tenor like high range... Good job boys!
I've seem other similar comments, and I find it interesting -- there's certainly more bass in the solo lines for Mad World, but the bass lines in the background on this song are absolutely bonkers. Tons and tons of everything from B1 down to C1 (every Bass Gang member sustains a C1 in this song). It seems like no one (even the reactors) are registering that Marwan comes out of the gate with E1 subharmonics, the same note and technique as Geoff's last note in VoicePlay's Oogie Boogie song -- it's wild! And then the bass line stays around there for a lot of the time -- it was the hardest bass line I've ever had to record, no question. But there is so much going on in the arrangement, so I understand that people aren't paying as much attention to the bass lines
@@PeterBarber Bobby and Jonathan actually talked about this (kinda) in that tutorial you mentioned. Our ears are naturally drawn to higher pitch sounds so they stand out more. I think you really have to focus/listen to the bass line to hear it in this song, because there is a lot going on above it. As far as no one noticing Marwan hitting that E1 at the beginning, it's funny how much our ears/expectations have changed in the past few years when it comes to those crazy low notes you all can do!
@@PeterBarber Yeah man, I think that's it... Mad World was just overall lower, without too much going above (it fit the original piece)... It took me a few listens once you mentioned the bass lines, and Marwans E1 sub... then I really started to hear it. Not to mention, someone of your caliber saying it was the hardest bass line to perform/record... That speaks volumes, I mean, dude... you're a professional opera singer! Marwan is a crazy arranger... and I mean that in all the best ways. I can only imagine what he will bring out in the future if this is him just 18 years old... I can't wait for Monday and see what The Bass Gang drops next. I'm loving what you guys are up to. Random question, have you and the rest of TBG ever actually met in person, or has it always been video/online?
Congrats on the Sante Fe Opera, Peter! This cover was amazing! You guys keep blowing our minds! Also, now I feel kinda old when you said you can't remember what that sample was. 😄 It's from the song Tom's Diner by Suzanne Vega. Great job guys! Can't wait for the next one!
I really enjoy watching your reactions. Plus I like how you breakdown and thoroughly explain how the artist hit certain notes and how the songs are put together. Love your work. Oh and congratulations on your apprenticeship.

Marwan broke me
He broke everyone 😁
@@Trek1549 FOR REAL!!! Was NOT prepared!!
@@Trek1549 Soooooooo True!!!!
I think you should check out Mortius' reaction to this song. He had Marwan as a guest and got some great insight to how it was produced.....
@@heathervona7883 I loved it!
Dude I legit got emotional watching this 🤦♂️😂 Love you bro ❤️

Marwan, you are freaking phenomenal, you are an amazing talent and should be so proud!
Everyone starts going really high:
Tomi: Hi basses! **Hits an E6**
The fact tomi (a bass) hits an E6 that overpowers peters E5 belt at 25:53 is insane!
I love how excited you get at seeing the project you've helped work on come to fruition. I believe the reason the Bass Gang has done such amazing work so far is because of the levels of passion everyone brings to the group.

EEEEEEEE
This was such a great breakdown, Peter. And your excitement and enthusiasm were so much fun to watch. The Bass is definitely with me!
Peter, Peter, Peter....lol lol lol....such happiness!

Love the insider info and reaction! Amazing work and it's always great to hear your take on all this. 🔥
Dude watching you react to your own work and that of your friends/ work family. Is so awesome!!! And the song/ video 🤯🤯🤯🤯❤❤❤❤❤!!!!!
I comment....then I watch more....then I cry and here I am AGAIN ....you are still singing, still loving your boys, your performances, your proud-papa-eyes betraying it all. Love 💓 you Peter. Wonderful song. Great video. Fabulous arrangement, choreography, costuming. I'm running out of words. All I can do is head-bob, grin, and listen listen listen listen....
The real question is...r yall even human at this point??! Like...I'm just waiting for Geoff and Tim to join in eventually😱😎🔥🔥🔥
Same here
Well, They've done a song with Tim now, so...
Y'all did so good. Think this may have replaced Bury A Friend as my favorite Bass Gang song. Mad props to all of you ❤️. Hugs from Newfoundland
Can we get tshirts with Bass Gang on the back, and on the front they say O.P.M
Then underneath that it spells out the rest of Operatic Power Moan.
I'd buy one.
I'm loving this idea a little too much
Same Id buy 1.
Was great seeing your enthusiasm and excitement listening, analyzing and breaking down this song. It was such an exciting arrangement. I loved listening to it over and over. Magnificent job.

MARWAN MADE A BLAST WITH THE GANG. BEING THE YOUNGEST ,HE MADE A BLAST...
LOVED IT
DIDN'T KNOW THAT A BASS CAN BE A ROCK TENOR TOO.INDEED JONATHAN.
tim foust sounds kinda sounds like one too except he cant go very high of course
@@N9TheNoobNot that high with that grit anyway.
Right from the start 😲😍😲😍😲

I love opera I would love to hear you sing an aria from one of your favorite operas 🎶
AMAZING!!! SIMPLY AMAZING!
The Bass Gang keeps raising the bar.
Great reaction, really enjoyed the difference when the stereo sound kicked in. Hope you can keep it in future reactions. P.S. you had the cleanest kerchief, lol.
Marwan spillled some of his beans to Morticius and your analysis complemented it all beautifully to give us listeners a chance to catch up with what you all are doing. It sounds awesome and my only complaint is that it doesn't last centuries.
Love love love it
This is what I listen to every morning to get me going.
Watching yet again, your reaction and joy are just so wonderful. Makes my day better.
Right from the start, I was really impressed by how high you guys can go, despite being basses. Which one of you has the widest range?
I'd say Tomi -- he can probably go the lowest (with inhale technique) and the highest in his whistle register
@@PeterBarber I would agree, its probably him, followed by you, then Marwan and then Bobby, of course marwan and bobby have the lowest chest notes too which is awesome.
Y'all are in the big time now!
This is the best yet. Everyone went all out. Congratulations.
That bass walk bobby does near the end is insane that's a Tim Foust classic where Bobby I think goes "Down, Down, going down in History" and ends with the C2 it's just talking which is what makes it super impressive
That was amazing

Centuries is my favorite song of all time but not only did Marwan pick that song, he chose Jonathan Young for the collab 😂
This may be the first time I've heard Peter swear on his channel haha you broke him, Marwan!
Not the first time. He definitely swore on the reaction video for 'Emperor's New Clothes', which was, of course, also Marwan's fault! 😂
Right?! Marwan is INSANE!!
it's incredible! Thanks guys 🥰🥰🥰
Everyone is having such fun too! You are all amazing!!!!
Congratulations on making it into the program. And this was beyond amazing. There is no doubt that you love doing this, both the singing and the reacting.

Next colab : Either Tim Foust, Tim Storms or Geoff Castelluci!
We'll see if we can make that happen!
@@PeterBarber Dude, all of em. Craft a track that will overload any bass system ever built. :P
Very nicely done. I love the rhythms and the strong line. Sounded a bit like Eli there on the Remember me.
Can you react to Enemy - voiceplay? Love to see your reaction man 🔥
Just got around to recording a video for it a few days ago -- it will come out shortly after the final Bass Gang release!
Love it!!! So glad I found you and the Bass Gang!
The "Duh duh duh duh" Part in the begging is the Melody to Tom's Dinner by Suzanne Vega. In case anyone was wondering.

it was bobby doing the C1 u can tell by the tone and sound of it compared to johns throat bass

I think you really have to focus/listen to the bass line to hear it in this song, because there is a lot going on above it. As far as no one noticing Marwan hitting that E1 at the beginning, it's funny how much our ears/expectations have changed in the past few years when it comes to those crazy low notes you all can do!
@@PeterBarber Yeah man, I think that's it... Mad World was just overall lower, without too much going above (it fit the original piece)...
It took me a few listens once you mentioned the bass lines, and Marwans E1 sub... then I really started to hear it. Not to mention, someone of your caliber saying it was the hardest bass line to perform/record... That speaks volumes, I mean, dude... you're a professional opera singer!
Marwan is a crazy arranger... and I mean that in all the best ways. I can only imagine what he will bring out in the future if this is him just 18 years old...
I can't wait for Monday and see what The Bass Gang drops next. I'm loving what you guys are up to.
Random question, have you and the rest of TBG ever actually met in person, or has it always been video/online?
Such a pleasure to see someone reacting to themselves in a masterpiece like this 🙌
Congrats on the Sante Fe Opera, Peter!
This cover was amazing! You guys keep blowing our minds!
Also, now I feel kinda old when you said you can't remember what that sample was. 😄 It's from the song Tom's Diner by Suzanne Vega.
Great job guys! Can't wait for the next one!
Amazed at how many things were packed into this song! Mind- and ear-blowing! Awesome, well-placed choreo as well!! 🤯❤
I absolutely LOVE your reaction!!! Made me cry too!
This is great !
You should react to Jonathan Young singing Barbie Girl.
Jonathan’s “ohhh yeah” and “history” totally gave me Jack Black/Tenacious D “pick of Destiny” vibes, lol
The hook is from Suzanne Vega Tom's Diner, I had to go look it up myself
It looked like you were having fun singing with the bass gang.
yeee
The bass singer Corpse has a new new song out called Life Waster.
I really enjoy watching your reactions. Plus I like how you breakdown and thoroughly explain how the artist hit certain notes and how the songs are put together. Love your work. Oh and congratulations on your apprenticeship.
