My brain has never been more melted by a video than this -- as it says in the title, I truly was not prepared. Hope you all enjoy even 10% as much as I did -- if you do, you'll have one hell of a time!
Please, what is the Latin? It sounded like "mortem mundo aver rex novus" but I struggled to understand the words even when you repeated them. Been 20 years since I studied Latin.
12:50 Joik (sometimes spelled Yoik) is a style of singing from the Sami who are an indigenous people in the far north of Scandinavia, and it has that jumping around with like all the glottal stops anyone could want. I am a font of odd trivia. The video is awesome, the arrangement is awesome, all of you are awesome, and I really hope you feel better soon.
Your first-time Bass Gang videos are absolutely the BEST! Sick or not - always the best Y'all did an outstanding job matching the songs with the lead. Wide open desert suited Marwan's power. This song is Sooooo very "evil" - and no one does "evil bass voice" like Tomi! I am Soooooo excited for the next one!!!! The Bass Gang has outdone itself this time!
Any time you react or do analysis on the bass gang stuff you always have the biggest smile on your face from the time you press record, so fun to watch !
@@PeterBarber And meanwhile, the bats are like: "Dude! We got M.F.-ing Humans! And they brought fire!" Seriously, this whole video was fire. (and happy birthday, Bobby!).
Sepulchral! Gnarly! Cavernous subs, menacing growls, huge beefy bass chords. Top-notch visuals and editing. Bass dungeon paradise. Is it ok to admit I have an inappropriate old-auntie crush on the lot of you?
Loved watching your reaction! Every time you do a first react to a Bass Gang song you get as excited as a kid at Christmas! Love hearing your behind the scenes tidbits and will be (not so) patiently waiting for the documentary. 🫶
Excellent job to you and the fellows Peter. 👍👍👏👏 It would be interesting to get your reaction to Colm McGuinness and his version of this song and others too, as he is also an incredibly talented vocalist.
I heard plenty of bass-and some wonderful bass riffs-in Arabian Nights! I think it’s just that it was mixed so it wasn’t bass-heavy, if that makes sense. The higher parts got equal volume. Loved this reaction, Peter! Are you going to react to the Wellerman release as well? You get to do opera in that one!!
Tomi and your range is just insane to me... how high you two can get, come to think of it Marwan too can get pretty high as well. Tomi's hands also man, just this whole video is amazing!
I was drafting this comment to write in my tomorrow morning; I cannot fall asleep so here goes: Peter, due to your channel more than any other, I now hear and appreciate so many more layers of any song than the lead vocal which would capture almost all of my attention up until last year. The Bass Gang pieces are particularly rich with layers to enjoy. Having typed and truly meant all of that, I have a lead lyric content question that has niggled at me since first hearing this recording without the epic video: Does Tomi sing "the muskiest scam" instead of "the murkiest scam" in deliberate reference to the next song in volume 3, Gaston? I know there's been much commentary around the depth of Tomi's vocals confusing AI closed captions or making it hard for listeners to tell what he's singing but that lyric is very clear and it is a different word than the original and then I thought it might be another element in the way this amazing group and production crew have woven the four songs into a new story. We'll be playing this on our best speakers for most of the neighbourhood to hear tomorrow.
Thanks! I've finally gotten around to seeing your reaction and analysis of this music video, and I had an absolute blast watching and listening to you break it down! I really enjoyed this cover so much! Like with Arabian Nights, I have never seen a cover of Be Prepared be done like this, ever! It truly is one of a kind! It's so cool that you all were able to shoot this in a cave filled with bats! It doesn't get any better than that! You guys are absolutely phenomenal! I'm so excited to see what happens next! Until Then .... May The Bass Be With You All!
Great stuff, good acting. Seeing each other physically where really beneficial for you all. Just wondering now 🤔who of you will be the emerging Genie 🧞♂️in next video?? My favourite - all time - you doing a first time reaction on The Bass Gang videos is: Emperor’s New Clothes. The astonishment, proudness and pure JOY on your face lights up any boring moments during the day. I do miss you using your wipers 😎… 😂 Keep up the good work ✌️but first and foremost… have FUN🫵
I can't believe what the Bass Gang has done just in a year, the incredible staging happening now is competition for VoicePlay, y'all are already past PTX and Home Free. When you did the throat Vikingish, it made me think of Native American singing.
I think this sort of subharmonic/growly use of bass is what people expect bass to be like. When you all or Geoff drop super low notes in chest its too smooth for some people to believe that it is still 'bass'. Not sure if that is making any sense.
It was actually too much bass for me. In part that is because of my hearing problems. Keeping everything that low make the sound muddy and does not cut through enough for me. Magnificent job guys!
I'm still learning about The Bass Gang. I'm curious about how you found each other and whether you would have collaborated from across the globe if COVID had not happened.
Bats are awesome! Many people hate bats because they’re frightened of them, however, that’s a really important to our environment. That’s eat insects, they are pollinators, and we need them.
Hello Peter the sound remind me of shamand shanting in sweden we have a diffrent thing calld jojking its a same People thing and its resent hit mian stream musik
So if I've understood the story of the four videos so far... 1. Dude is dancing in the desert singing about how awesome his country is, then gets sucked into a lamp. 2. Some skeevy guys sing about hatching a plan, and fighting over the lamp. 3. The skeevy guys go and hang out in a pub, cause fighting over a lamp in a cave is thirsty work, y'know? 4. One of the skeevy guys has gained infinite cosmic power (and presumably improved his living space) and is having fun 'playing' with his friends and teasing the guy in the lamp.
I swear Peter. I just watched this and Arabian Nights and my brain short circuited. Absolutely incredible. Kudos to you and the guys for both masterpieces.
Love this rendition of the song. Monk outfits? In my day the girls would have referred to any of you as "Father What a waste", lol. Along with the cave setting it definitely gives a culty, conspiratorial feel, though, which is certainly appropriate to the lyrics. Well done!
Regarding the question about whether or not we know how Viking/Norse music sounded like: We kinda do, but not really. We mostly know what instruments they would have used, and some bits of what scales they would use etc, but what we know for certain is that it was NOT anything like what we associate with "viking music" nowadays. Definitely no throat singing or electric guitars lmao. Here's 2 videos by a music historian Farya Faraji regarding viking music: ruclips.net/video/_qZI4e4yVio/видео.html ruclips.net/video/gEKJ2i4lAcw/видео.html
Gute besserung! Wir haben Covid auch frisch überstanden. Aber Gesund fühlen wir uns immer noch nicht. Man darf es leider nicht vergessen , Covid ist nicht vorbei.
So sense Bobby is gonna play the Genie, is Marwan ever coming out of the lamp? Cause it seems like now it’s making him out to be the genie but on instagram it looks like Bobby is gonna be the genie. Kinda confused but nonetheless super excited for Gaston and Friend like Me. Y’all are epic. Best group out there for sure
I love this. I think its probably the mix on Arabian Nights that needs something. I get that there are a lot of bass notes but they are not as pronounced in it. When we look at the bass gang we expect to hear the bass line. Arabian knights seems flat, one tone. I know its not just is off from what we expect. Please take this as a positive critic. Its not meant as mean.
Arabian Nights doesn't have enough bass?? What were these people listening to? No, bass didn't take center stage, but if was definitely there throughout the song. Please get yourself some good headphones and listen to it again with those. You'll hear the bass. Now for Be Prepared. This was just sinister and fabulous. Cheers to Tommy for the superior vocals. Here's hoping you don't feel any worse do to COVID! Wishes for a very speedy recovery.
Wait, you tested positive for C-VID? Sure doesn't seem like it. You seem as energetic as usual. Get well soon, dude. This is the version of this song I'd put in a remake of The Lion King, even if it never gets released as a movie.
Sooooo good! You're right in being very proud of this. Having said this, Arabian Nights is still my fav. It's become an ear worm with no sign of retreating. Lol Love you, but one thing causing me angst and cringe as a Christian, is your use of the name of Jesus (Christ). I gaff off the profanity, but this one hurts. Don't mean to offend you. You guys are AWESOME!!!! Keep 'em coming!
The intro is flawless, the rest is too bassy. I remember Geoff was asked why he doesn't do song in just first octave, all bass. He responded, it would be boring, so quickly. He was right. Video was sick, btw
Yeah. Although I wouldn't say it's boring, this is just too bassy and you can't understand what Tomi is saying most of the time. Arabian Nights had the perfect amount of bass for the bass gang imo
My brain has never been more melted by a video than this -- as it says in the title, I truly was not prepared. Hope you all enjoy even 10% as much as I did -- if you do, you'll have one hell of a time!
Y’all will eventually need to go on tour!!!
Covid 4x bro you need to stop licking the door knobs ! Feel better my friend !
@@missred586799bro they don’t got the equipment to do that and they said before they don’t like doing that
Please, what is the Latin? It sounded like "mortem mundo aver rex novus" but I struggled to understand the words even when you repeated them. Been 20 years since I studied Latin.
I CAN'T TELL WHICH ONE IS MARWAN!!

It would just be a vocal analysis since I've seen the video multiple times, but I could!
@@PeterBarber I’d be there for it!
I love your Bass Gang reactions! Love the insight to the BTS too.
Side note, EDITOR MASON, LIKE MORTIUS' MASON?!
I believe yes he does both channels
That’s me!! 😁
Always love seeing you do this to your own stuff :) I love how epic it sounds and the cult in the cave vibes were fun XD
Strangely there's still a BSN link in the description despite BSN shutting down
Amazing job as always Bass Gang and thanks Peter, we appreciate the effort you put in!
I was excited just from your excitement coming through the screen!! So awesome! You guys are so talented!!
This is great. I loved watching your reaction. I now know what i'll be listening to as i write scenes where my antagonist shows up...
Can't wait for the next one!
Tomi and your range is just insane to me... how high you two can get, come to think of it Marwan too can get pretty high as well.
Tomi's hands also man, just this whole video is amazing!
Freaking amazing EP so far Peter!!! I can't wait for the next installment! Hope you feel better soon, we are right there with you with the Rona.
This was more fun than the last. The bats added so much realism. You guys had too much fun!

Because they last song is insane 🔥🔥🔥
They already release on Patreon i hope they release on RUclips Friday 🤞🤞
So much fun watching your initial reactions.
👍👍 on the video. Peter, hope you heal quickly and completely.
Well I certainly wasn't prepared for this one 😮 I think my brain will never recover from this 😂 And my jaw is still on the floor 😮😮🔥💯
Relatable!
15:18 What away to put that 😂
Hope there's a react and analyze of Santiana
but love the content, keep up the great work

Just too fun and thanks to your earlier breakdowns I really adored the lamp extras too!
That was pure delight
Excellent! :)
Great stuff, good acting. Seeing each other physically where really beneficial for you all. Just wondering now 🤔who of you will be the emerging Genie 🧞♂️in next video??

Impressionante! E divertido (não entendo o que estão cantando, só falo português do Brasil, mas gostei assim mesmo, lol).
very good

i didnt notice the bats til you pointed it out and now im not going to be able to unsee it. thanks peter.
This was absolutely phenomenal ❤
Hello Peter the sound remind me of shamand shanting in sweden we have a diffrent thing calld jojking its a same People thing and its resent hit mian stream musik

Well done!
Bravo! Another win 🎉🎉 Question - if Marwyn is in the lamp and Tommy is up above of y'all, then who is the 4th person in the cave?
Caspar Fox
More Bass Gang, please!!
The hand raising scene, who does the low bass note? It sounds really cool.
So SO good
:]

Did you ever chant Monty Python's "pie Jesu domine, dona eis requiem *thwack*"
So was Marwan's voice in this even though his body wasn't? I wasn't sure. It's hard to tell who is who when it's so bassy. :)

Not enough BASS? some people need to get their hearing checked.
Hello
Native American throat singing or chanting.
Has the new discord dropped yet?
Sooooo good! You're right in being very proud of this. Having said this, Arabian Nights is still my fav. It's become an ear worm with no sign of retreating.

Am i simply a dumb ass or Marwan isn't featured in the video at all?
The idea is that Marwan is trapped in the lamp. You hear him trying to get out at the end.
@@vivette3990 Yea i didn't realize it at first bt now it makes sense. Thx tho
Didn't tomi hit a C0?

WAS THAT A C0 FROM TOMI??? (Around 2:22)
Yep. C0 fry
Theory: A lot of people were listening to Arabian Nights without headphones
So you will keep the lamp untill you meet Marwan live... So sad.
Shame that Marwan couldn't be there being weird with you
Enjoy Bass singing. Don’t care for pedifile Disney.
