The Red Vs Blue inspired intro skit was on point. RvB was hilarious.

The fact that this cover was dedicated to a former member who had passed away, is absolutely beautiful.

Geoff hits a B0 and Eli hits a G5. Doesn't get better than this. Of course, that's what I said when they did Hoist the Colours too. LOL Scott was the original beatboxer with VoicePlay so the red team/blue team was going to happen in there somewhere.

The fact that the original composer saw this and had his jaw dropped is just expanding the legend of Voice Play and Geoff. Eli hits an A5 too in this one, it's definitely a rare piece of music - one of those that will be talked about and analyzed by vocalists / teachers and others alike.

Just for those that happened to not understand the intro and don't wanna read through all of the comments, the bit at the beginning was the original opening to red vs blue, an ancient web series by rooster teeth. It... was... the absolute best opening for this reaction!

I do believe this song may have broken Mortius. Great reaction sir!

Martin O'Donnell himself commented on the guys' video that he loved it, so I guess if the original composer wasn't bothered by the dubstep section... 🤷🏻‍♀️

Having never played Halo, I'm perfectly fine with the dubstep section. I actually cried. So freaking amazing.

Loved your reaction. The Voiceplay outro will get an emotional response and ties it all together.

Love to point out that they actually added a blue light source to shine onto Scott during recording of the plasma grenade bit.

OH MY GOSH!! Take me back to secondary school with that bit. I love it! I now want to go back and rewatch all of Red vs. Blue...

This is clearly the best and most emotional and heart-touching reaction to this video that may ever exist on this platform. I was with you all along with the excitement and the heart-overfilling nostalgia. Thank you for this!

Glad you noticed the tribute and are going to watch it.

Video very reminiscent of the dance of the sugar plum fairy by ptx, back in the day

Nobody does a cover song better than Voice Play does. Thank you for another great reaction to Voice Play.

Love it because I played on my PC, and it's a wonderful tribute to their friend. You need to see Geoff's The Monster Mash.

Loved your reaction to this! As someone with no connection or experience with Halo, it was so lovely to watch your excitement and joy.

So much joy from vocals without lyrics, amazing.

Loved your reaction! Geoff hitting the B0 and Ceaser doing overtones was AMAZING! I don't play Halo, but I loved this and their tribute to their fallen brother. Love your reaction as always! It was fun seeing you lost for words haha!

14:52 that, right there, is the face of a man who has seen God

I love this video very much and I’m never been a gamer so I don’t know the music from the game. I can say that Scott was perfect to record this video! He’s so talented! There was a lot going on in the video that it takes a couple or a few views to catch it all. Mortius, I really enjoyed seeing how much you loved this and how excited you got when you were watching! I share your enthusiasm for the talent of these five men who astound us all! I really do hope you watch the end of the video because there’s a story behind why they decided to do it. I remember Scott being in Voice Play’s cover collaboration of “Just Sing”.

Thank you, that was a beautiful reaction. Voice Play does the best version ever of Halo.

Please listen to the rest of the video. The tribute is amazing

This one is one of their most vocally impressive arrangements… just stellar talent. And the video editing… 🤯🤯🤯

Honestly... I'm just enjoying the living daylights out of how blown away by it you are. It's one of the reasons that I enjoy watching your reactions - your joy in the music. The dedication at the end choked my wife and me up so hard when we watched it in the car with our girls. It was just... brutal for us to hear that story.

Was drinking tea while you commented they kill you, so I struggled on my side 😂 We survived 👍🏻

Your channel brings me joy. Thank you.

Hehe red vs blue dialog, nice

Your reaction almost made me wish I had been into video games “back I the day”. I loved this version, and thank you for some of the point outs that I would have missed.

Ha! How am I only just now seeing this video of yours? Those tie colors matching the RvB characters of Grif and Simmons was excellent! I'm sorry to say that I nerded out and still to this day know the Blood Gulch Chronicles verbatim. 🤐 You and about 2 or 3 others that do reactions are my favorite go-tos, I'm glad to finally see (2 years later) your Halo reaction. As for the visualization of memory that's associated with specific music, I am there too! Specific songs and stuff that I listened to as a kid are in immediate recall when I hear those songs.

BTW -- the first subharmonic is an E1, followed by a B0!

The RvB skit at the beginning was gold! Excuse me while I lose the next week and a half rewatching the entire series.

Absolutely loved how it seemed to transport you back to your childhood! So happy it brought back good memories for you! ♥

top 10 things that make you spaz and go "eeeeeeee"

I so love your reaction to this, it’s the best I’ve seen!

My first video of yours that I have watched. I love your enthusiasm and your ability to completely nerd-out, without reservation. Please keep doing what you're doing! It's great!

I think this is hands down my favorite reaction video of anything ever 😂 truly joyful

This has to be hands down the best reaction to this video. You made me laugh throughout the whole thing. I love ur tie knots tutorial plz. Well u have a subscriber for life here.... keep up the great work

This one is super nostalgic for me too. Not as a gamer (I literally only played this game once, and I died in less than five minutes. My brother threw an X-Box controller at me and expected a Gameboy Color player to know what to do with it.), but because the tv and game console was right outside my bedroom, so I fell asleep hearing this theme most nights all through middle school and high school as my brother and dad played this almost nightly. I used to be able to identify which game in the series and their kills (Elite, grunt, etc) by sound alone.

I’ve listened to 4/5 reactions of that track by now and I’ve enjoyed yours the most. I was never a Halo player but your enthusiasm and love for it was just so genuine that it made your reaction video absolutely fantastic. Thanks for a lovely moment.

I've been eagerly awaiting this reaction since I saw you in the chat at the premiere :)

when you were talking about getting visual replacement from the audio cues; i get that. sometimes, when i'm at work i can listen to my ipod, and a song will come on and i'll be counting stuff out at work but somehow not be doing that consciously, because my eyes are no longer being seen with my conscious brain, but i still have a number after the song ends and i come back into the room at work and if i double-check my counting i somehow have the correct number. it's nuts. but, yeah, anyway, songs take me places too (also smells, but only for, like, a couple seconds). also, never be ashamed of showing how into something you are, it's awesome. i'm not into halo, i've never played it, or even seen a playthrough of it i don't think. i don't actually know what it's about. but, i love this song just as much as songs they've done which i liked even before their version. and seeing how into it you are is inspiring and cool, like you even brought your ties into it, that's amazing! you're making me smile so hard rn

Best reaction ive seen so far, props to you good sir

Your enthusiasm was so infectious I was freaking out right along with you even though I've never played Halo

I absolutely understand about music transporting you to a different time and place. I barely listened to the beginning of their If I Were a Rich Man before I was transported to a theater in Atlanta, listening to Leonard Nimoy sing that song as Tevye. I could tell that Halo meant a lot to you and loved your reaction. (I wish you would also share your reaction to the outro.)

The harmonies here remind me of some pieces performed by Benedictine Monks. It then descends through the ages back into the Bronze age and prior to when it these vocals would have been connecting us to the stories of our ancestors. Love it and I love your reaction, the joy and energy coming from you is palpable. :)

I love watching your reaction videos. Thank you.

I legit cried because of how genuinely happy you were. Your happiness made me so emotional

You are such a great person to watch. I just love your personality and your reactions and knowledge much love from the netherlands ♥

One of your most entertaining reactions ever.

music can take you to incredible places! i remember playing a concert on the norfolk broads (uk) just as the sun was setting, and the MD asked for "the day thou gave'st, lord is ended" hymn tune. every time i hear that i am instantly transported back there. visually, emotionally, and almost physically. music is such a powerful thing, and those that create it in this way deserve huge respect.

Would love to see this side of yours more often. I can feel, days between and miles away from us that this means a lot to you. I bow to thee, sir.

10:45 Mortius starts losing his mind. I'm tempted to say it didn't stop til the end... it definitely picked back up again at 12:31. He also nearly choked to death on what is apparently the awesomeness of the editing at 13:40. I appreciate the honesty in the reaction. I saw this and immediately I too went to my "I'm 16, sitting on the couch with my friends, not a care in the world, playing HALO" place. It was glorious. I weighed half what I do now, and I didn't have any bills to pay. Best time.

Yeah, I get ya on songs almost literally taking you back. When I hear Journey’s Open Arms it takes me back to 18 years of age and an ice rink I used to skate at. I can literally smell the ice. It had a unique smell. 😊

I love how they kept to the original at the end but the middle dubstep bit reminds me of Reach and ODST's combat fills paying homage to the whole series not just the Original three games

Not a Halo player, but loved watching one react with such glee to this beautifully done video.

Oh my gosh, I've never seen you so excited before! 🤣🤣🤣. They did such a fantastic job, as always!! 🤯 But it's not fair that you didn't listen to the outro here. They have it there for a reason, it's a main part of their video, and it feels like you just chopped it out 😢 Ready for Halloween? Please check Geoff's latest solo, the Monster Mash, it's a real graveyard smash! 🙏🔥👻😍

This video is just EPIC and so beautiful. I can see you love it to...Oh dear, breathe, remember to breathe!

"Red team, go!" . . . Aannndd, Mortius loses his shit! I love it! That was the moment in your reaction that I was waiting for. I was never a Halo player, but I love what VoicePlay and Geoff do with any and all songs they get their hands on. I so enjoy your reaction videos, keep up the good work, you have such good energy. I also enjoy your analysis and breakdown, it's quite informative and easy to understand for the layperson. I'm looking forward to your post about the outro, maybe a good thing to have them separate. I can't wait to see your reaction to Geoff's Monster Mash, and the next thing VoicePlay is sending out soon (It's Awesome)! Best to you and yours!

Your video's always make me smile, such pure joy in your reaction. I think this really brought us all back to younger years watching red vs. blue and it's insane how much of an impact a game can have in the social fabric of a generation. The only thing I was disappointed by though was you seemed to miss Caesars overtone singing at 1:10 (time marker is refering to original VoicePlay video), it's layered just before that amazing high note from Ely but only one reactor that I've seen so far has commented on it. Don't get me wrong, I fangirl over Geoff every time (that B0 was INSANE) and Ely has been doing some amazing things on the high end but, Caesar I think really outdid him self here and I love that the group now has both subharmonics and overtone. I can see them doing some really unique stuff and they have definitely stepped things up to another level in the last couple of months.

Your enthusiasm was very silly. But it was also adorable and relatable.

I just got a set of headphones - not great but much better than the ear buds. I know you are familiar with Elizabeth of The Charismatic Voice. She did a reaction/analysis of this and her guest is Marty O'Donnell the composer of Halo. They covered a lot of territory and I thought you might be interested!

Subbed instantly for the RvB reference, stayed for the awesome reaction

It's great you watched. However, you missed the commentary for which I think you would have enjoyed knowing you were among other Halo fans (VoicePlay). It's such a great tribute to one of their own (Rek Dunn). It also shows pictures of him with Scott & Voiceplay on tour. It explains why they did it & were very familiar with the theme. Possibly add an edit once you listen to the commentary? Scott is one of the founding members. Yes he was the original beat boxer which showed in the 'red team/blue team' section, that was him & Layne. In fact. Layne had to learn to cover his spot. His main focus now is acting. He was in Friday Night Lights, The Good Wife, Hart of Dixie, Scorpion & Lucifer along with movies, episodic TV (Law & Order among others) as well having done voiceovers for multiple video games.

My best friend used to play Halo after school when we were in 6th grade. That song hits right into nostalgia. I love your reaction, felt the same :)

Don't feel bad about freaking out and vibing. Trust me, we all had nerdgasms when listening to this cover.😂

I've never played Halo, but knew the music well enough that a lot of this was familiar. It's a good cover. There's always something about your first video game that just stays with you forever (mine was Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy 12). Sound is one of those things that can help with recall better than other sense, so it makes sense that when you're hearing certain music, it immediately takes you back.

I love how they start out "pure" for these gamer/pop culture songs, then take us on a whole new adventure with these beloved "characters", then they bring us back full circle to the "pure" original songs.

Your nerd really came out on this one -- I love it!!

That was fun. Thanks for your reaction ;

Work Appreciated

Geoffs E1-B0s are insane 🤯

Omfg that was insanely good

Love the intro! 😁

I love your new tie knot! That’s awesome! Are you going to do a tutorial on tie knots sometime?

At least ya caught the outro. ive seen many other reactors ignore it or not know its there. Thats a disservice. I wish you'd included it for those who have not seen it.

The Halo knot is awesome!

Loved the red Vs blue skit. Started rewatching it recently on Rooster Teeth.

I believe Bungie and Microsoft needs to include this in their packages.....holy shitballs this is sooooo damn cool.

Watch the charismatic voice of this with the person who actually wrote this. Very illuminating.

It’s so fun when you love a bit in a song! LOL. So I’m guessing the outro made you cry (it did me)? And dude, the tie! Great knot. I’m going to find a really tricky one and double-dog-dare you to do it. 😉

Sensory overload!!!

Love your tie knot.

This is a tribute and not meant to be an exact copy of halo. This is a tribute to a fallen friend and is amazing. But I love your reaction to this.

I do have to say, that is quite the impressive Tie knot you have there. ^u^

Thanks for being you.

Too bad you didn't play the last section which gives so much info about the group and an outstading bit concerning their loss of Rek at such an early age. I suggest that anyone wanting to see that, go to VoicePlays' actual video and watch the whole thing. It's well worth the time! 😎

Hit play it pays homage to halo and former member to voice play who passed away not long ago

Oh my goodness! Red vs. Blue! My brother used to make us girl watch those videos!

i know what you mean about being "transported" to a different time and place. i was fortunate enough to play a gig (brass band) on the norfolk broads, and just as the sun was setting, the conductor called for "the day thou gavest lord is ended". i can never hear that piece again without "seeing" the norfolk broads at sunset.

12:34 "I don't know what to do with my hands!" :P

7:10 FELT THAT

A true example of speechless

Awesome. Now I have to rewatch RvB for the 103rd time.

EPIC!! RIP Rek

Sees the intro Church: Wait, that's illegal

jaime que tu a autent dappreciation en ecoutent et tes commentaire me font revive mes meilleur moment de jeux.

Loved your reaction. ❤️❤️ Have you seen them do the chicken song or Roadtrip? They're fun! Happy New Year 🥳🥂 PS I would like to see you see the outro. It's a huge part of the song.

Bro tieknot on point! Please do a vid on it

I think you enjoyed this. :) Do watch the remainder as it explains their reasons for making it. Oh, I love your tie know too. :)
