I have listened to over a hundred versions of this song in many different languages and styles. Geoff blows them all out of the water. Such a unique take on the song. Loooove it!!! Thank you for your reaction. Can always count on you for interesting reactions.
Just an FYI: not sure if you're aware or not, but flashing lights and strobe lights can cause people to have seizures. My grandson, who is only 10 years old, is one of those people. That's the reason why he put the disclaimer about the flashing lights at the beginning of his video. Thank you for another great reaction.
I actually was talking to Geoff about this song this time last year and so I actually was one of two people I believe to ask him to do this first and actually had some input on how to do this and I will show the convo in my reaction going up tomorrow if you want to check it out Reactor to Reactor
I have never been able to whistle a pure whistle, envious! Always loved Marty Robbins' version as it's what I grew up on. Glad this was covered by Geoff.
This song goes way back to the years right after I was born...in the late 40s. The most popular was done by Vaughn Monroe, but Marty Robbins did it, too, and I even heard Johnny Cash sing it once. I loved that song when I was a little girl, because I wanted to be a cowboy. I used to know all the words. This was fun.
I remember this song from my young days. I was only 4 when it was written in 1948 but I think the version I remember most was by Frankie Laine. This is so different and of course the video is brilliant.
Great cover of "GHOST RIDERS IN THE SKY" written by Stan Jones ( 6/5/1914-12/13/1963) in 1948 based on a folklore from the old west when he was 12 years old. Has been recorded by Burl Ives, Vaughn Monroe( maybe the most notable) Johnny Cash,and was used for the movie "GHOST RIDER".
Yes, I was eleven years old when Vaughn Monroe's version of the song was on the Billboard charts for 22 weeks, in 1949 (yes, 73 years ago). A spooky song indeed, and Geoff more than does it justice.
I have heard many versions of this song, and this is the best version yet. Geoff, you outdid yourself this time. OMG, I can't even find the words to say how good this is.
Watching the Behind the Scenes we saw Layne saying at one one, "that's the beard I've always wanted" lol, Tony was also there and Eli no doubt was doing the lighting as usual. I love that the VP members help out. The reason it took so long was due to verious hold ups which meant he had to put it on the back burner for a time, then come back to it. But even so, yes it was many hours in post production.
First off..I agree. Ghost Rider should make a comeback in Marvel. (Wouldn't surprise me if he turns up on Loki or She-Hulk or one of the other series.) Geoff nailed this one for sure..His costuming is always so on point for the music. This is a great way to update this old classic. I will be wandering around today humming...Yippee ki yaaaaay...😂
Geoff does the bass & beatboxing simultaneously in the cover song The Death Of A Bachelor. He & Earl are the only ones singing. Geoff was the beat boxer. He actually taught Layne how to beat box. Please do a reaction video of...Geoff The Beat Boxer. It showcases his beatboxing talent.
@@SandraJB321 sorry, my bad. It was supposed to be he does the bass & beatboxing simultaneously. I just got so excited to hear him whistle in this on that I lost my train of thought. I changed it. Thanks for the heads up.
About the whistle. I think that Geoff was the one whistling in If I Were a Rich Man/Girl. We only saw it from the side in silhouette, but pretty sure. Great reaction, QoFy!!
I think in that video, based on the silhouette and the hat, it was Eli doing the whisling..... Layne does whistling in their cover of 'It ain't me' and Geoff in Death of a bachelor.....possibly in "Once upon a Dream" also....>^^
Thank you for this reaction. I first heard this song about the age of 10 and was intrigued. A favorite along with Don't fence me in. Love your reactions!
You were commenting about Ghost Rider, the Marvel character (both in movies and comics). In the Nick Cage version of Ghost Rider movie (from 2007), there was a cover of the song in the movie, as well.
The more I listen to this the more I love it. And I wasn’t that thrilled about him doing it initially because someone I spent time with used to play that Johnny Cash version until I wanted to gouge out my eyeballs. LOL. Loved your reaction, Qofy!! It might be worthwhile to check out Geoff’s description notes and credits during your reactions, because the ones for this song are pretty funny. Among other things I think there’s a Bob Newhart Show reference in there. Just for us oldpharts who would recognize that. 👵🏼 👴🏼
Would you please do a reaction video of Geoff's new solo cover... Till Then ? It is slow, deep & smooth . Played in a piano lounge setting. His wife is the one slipping him the note on a napkin & leading him away at the end. You will love it. Listen to the original done back in 1944 by the Mills Brothers first to familiarize yourself with the song first. Geoff knocks this one out of the ball park.
I've been so looking forward to this and Geoff certainly didn't disappoint, this was wonderful and a fantastic video, love it! Great reaction/analysis Qofy, thank you! 🙂👍
I heard the song in the MCU movie. Then I went home to download it on limewire. By the nights end, I had torrented and listened to SO MANY versions of the song and I love most of them, but the western iteration will always hold a special place in my heart and Geoff did amazing for it!
@@camctrail Ghost Rider. (SPOILER) It's in the scene where the western ghost rider and Nicholas cage's ghost rider on his motorcycle are riding though the desert. if you want to hear the full song its called ghost riders in the sky by spiderbait and is a rock/western mixup
@@nathanrood865 That is not technically part of the MCU, despite being a Marvel character. That movie was made by Columbia Pictures, before Marvel Studios even existed.
@@nathanrood865 but the movie version with Nicholas Cage was totally out of context to the original song. It is a western song on house, not motorcycles. Geoff kept it to the original.
Great reaction as usual. I don’t listen as attentively as others (I just don’t process information that way) so always learn something new no matter how many times I have listened to the piece. It might be that I have heard this song enough that those long extended words at the end of the line didn’t catch my notice, but after I watched your stream I went back and listened more attentively. It really is effective. Eli did an amazing job on the visuals. It took me a few viewings to notice that the clouds in the background were drifting through the ghostly cowboys. The makeup and transformation of Geoff into Jeff, Goff, Jeoff and Daryl was pretty amazing. It seemed so strange to hear Geoff’s voice coming out of Daryl‘s mouth. In the behind the scenes they showed a costume list for each of the characters with their names up on top. It’s almost like they were real people. When the hurricane hit Orlando, Layne lost electrical power so we have to wait a little longer for their Halloween piece. Patrons got an extensive behind the scenes and the MP3 and it promises to be very entertaining. It was another Layne production so you know it’ll be a little bit crazy.
❤ This song is so nostalgic for me as I remember my grandmother playing it on repeat..but Geoff has taken it to a new level! I’m pretty sure that’s an electric guitar being played…only you can make a song analysis entertaining as all get out!🤗❤️‼️
This one was awesome. Riders in the sky is an old country and western song. They use side guitar a lot & their is a band call riders in the sky and they sing this song.
Great reaction and great Geoff doing Geoff things. On a side note, if you pause at 10:17, alive Geoff has chameleon hands and the ghost Geoffs have Lego hands. Just thought that was funny. I am easily amused so I had to say something.💙
Had two favorites of this Marty Robbins and Johnny Cash, now add a third with Geoff. He made it is own, more up bet, not as solemn warning as the others. Check out Marty Robbins version.
Don't tell the man what he is! Lol. He says he's a baritone with bass training. He always wanted to be a rock tenor but the bass was just where he gravitated
Check out all Geoff Castellucci reactions 😊 :

My favorite is Riders in the Sky.
Geoff's two other Halloween songs are "Monster Mash" and "The Headless Horseman." He also narrates a number of Poe's most spooky poems and stories.
Im pretty sure he’s listened to every geoff song
@@cluelesscat2840 He could only remember "Monster Mash."
Just an FYI: not sure if you're aware or not, but flashing lights and strobe lights can cause people to have seizures. My grandson, who is only 10 years old, is one of those people. That's the reason why he put the disclaimer about the flashing lights at the beginning of his video.
Thank you for another great reaction.
Yes. I'm one of those people as well. I'm always grateful when creators put a warning up about it so we can make adjustments as needed.
Geoff did a great job. This has been done by many artists. Love this song.❤️
I actually was talking to Geoff about this song this time last year and so I actually was one of two people I believe to ask him to do this first and actually had some input on how to do this and I will show the convo in my reaction going up tomorrow if you want to check it out Reactor to Reactor

I love the Geoff ghostly riders helping out Geoff with this song lol 😂 awesome 👏🏽 ❤
QoFy, You are Quite Right saying it's SICK!!! Geoff is Killin' it!!!
I remember this song from my young days. I was only 4 when it was written in 1948 but I think the version I remember most was by Frankie Laine. This is so different and of course the video is brilliant.
Oh, yeah. Frankie Laine. Didn't sound like this, though.
I loved Frankie Laine, I've got a couple of his LPs I still throw on the turn-table to listen to.

This dude wil NEVER NOT AMAZE ME with his low voice like good lord
Thank you for another great reaction to Geoff. Nobody does it better than Geoff. He outdone himself this time.
Caught this reaction in the livestream. Great work per usual, nice one GoFy!
Geoff and Earl did the song 'Death of a Bachelor'...3 Geoffs and 2 Earls.....Geoff whistles, beatboxes etc.....older one, just the 2 of them....>^^

I was out of town, couldn't catch it live. :( But holy smokes did he do a great job. Love this song!! Thanks for the reaction, enjoyed it!!
This is a classic American Western song and has been around a very long time.
So much fun watching you react to this in the live stream. Stank face will now be renamed Geoff face 😁😂

The translucent effect on green screen is called Keying. That part have him one back of a fit. Took him awhile for them to go through correctly.
This is gonna be stuck in my head. 😂 Great reaction, Qofy!

This one was awesome. Riders in the sky is an old country and western song. They use side guitar a lot & their is a band call riders in the sky and they sing this song.
Vaughn Monroe Did it 1st & the one I am familiar with was the Southern Rock Band The Outlaws
This is awesome.
An electric guitar can be tuned that way. A lot of surfer music from the early 1960s had a very similar voice, check out The Ventures.
Geoffs of the West!
Great reaction and great Geoff doing Geoff things. On a side note, if you pause at 10:17, alive Geoff has chameleon hands and the ghost Geoffs have Lego hands. Just thought that was funny. I am easily amused so I had to say something.💙
rider..s!!!
This has been done by Marty Robbins and Johnny Cash among others. Amazing stuff.
Yes & all western on a horse not a motorcycle. Gotta love Geoff to keep things in their original context.
Very cool
Had two favorites of this Marty Robbins and Johnny Cash, now add a third with Geoff.
He made it is own, more up bet, not as solemn warning as the others.
Check out Marty Robbins version.
Wow!
Ghost Geoffs are creepy but cool.
Those are the same contacts (not the same ones, same kind) that PTX used in Daft Punk.
Because ghost take a backseat to the instrumentals because they are far away up in the sky. Geoff thinks of everything.
The two other covers of this song that I like are by Johnny Cash and Christorpher Lee.
I've heard quite a few versions of this but never knew Christopher Lee had done one! That should be interesting to look up, thanks Lois! 🙂
It was actually the "White Walkers". My son watched it. You said he was baritone, BOY WERE YOUR WRONG HEHEHEHE
❤️❤️❤️❤️
“White Walkers,” isn’t it?
I know right
Noti gang
Banjo
Geoff is not baritone,, HE IS BASS, FULL. BLOWN BASS, LOW LOW BASS,, PLS
Geoff himself says he is a natural baritone but that he has worked on extending his range both high and low.
Don't tell the man what he is! Lol. He says he's a baritone with bass training. He always wanted to be a rock tenor but the bass was just where he gravitated
