Helme(t) clearly loses his voice half way through the song and can't hit the higher notes. Simple as that. Misses out a chunk then tries to almost speak the lyrics before hoping the crowd will save him by singing for him. It's a bit of a shame cause you can here his throat tighten up then give up. No monitoring issue
I'm a huge Squire (and Seahorses) fan, but not only did Helme's vocals let this down, but Squire was playing in the wrong key for the most explosive rundown of the solo (6.27 - 6.36)...bit of a shame really
Sounds like there are monitoring issues for the vocals. Other live performances by the Seahorses have the vocals in tune and there can be no other reason for their poor quality here.
@FullMontyUK You're deffo onto something here. The way Helme leaves large chunks of the song out (some of the most important parts too, second chorus especially!), the way he shakes his head and looks so frustrated at 2.23 then looks over at Squire as if to indicate he's in trouble...I know from singing myself live for years that sometimes it doesn't matter how good or powerful a singer you are, if your monitor mix is terrible and you're playing with a loud band, the only way is down
@WingersHampsteadHome It's also an outdoor gig! Inside there is usually a bit of sound rebounding off the walls to give you a chance. I've played small outdoor gigs with little or no monitoring and as a vocalist you know you're out, as Helme clearly does, but you can't get a clue as to whether you're singing sharp or flat. Incidentally, I saw the band at Essex University in June 1997 and they were spot on, if a little short of material to fill out their set.
@FullMontyUK You're right, the outdoor factor with the wind blowing the sound all over the shop is another bugbear. It's a horrible feeling for a singer, knowing you're not able to hear the notes you're hitting and sensing that you're missing them but not knowing whether to raise or drop a semi-tone or whatever...and then you're thinking that the crowd is thinking you can't sing! I saw The Seahorses at their last gig (supporting The Verve at Slane Castle) in '98, they had more tunes by then
Shame the quality Is shit on this,and the vocals are awful,squire on the other hand is fuckin awesome!great guitarist sadly missed,wish he would come back and do something.
I was there, and at the time knew Chris vaguely(friend of a friend) and he was plastered the set just got worse and worse .....lol he was quite good sober but terrible on this occasion.
All their voices are as flat as a chinese mans face, but fuck, would I care? No, because just being there - the atmosphere - the sight of of geniuses at work - Squire's god like talent- would be worth more than the good music.
God Squire, where the fuck are you now? We. Want. you. Back.
Screw your gay little art exhibts, play the FUCKING DAMN GUITAR LIKE A GOD AGAIN!!!!!
How much did that little busker twat wannabe liam gallacher and that wannabe arteest try to be jimmy page theres a reason why ian brown is still around and these twats aint.
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law (AL I:40) and
Love is the law, love under will (AL I:57).
The central goal of a Thelemite (as adherents refer to themselves) is to discover and perform his or her True Will, which is generally defined as the innermost Nature or proper life course of the individual. The techniques used to achieve this goal fall under the heading of Magick.
Considering this was about the time Love Is The Law was released as their first single Chris Helme dosen't half milk the moment good on him but that drummer was a bit of a wanker so they say.
I was there, the weather was appalling and it was a miracle that any band played, the stage was sinking and everything. Monitors were fucked as well as the sound, what a tune though!
Definitely something up with the sound there. The Seahorses were the first band I ever saw live, and I can assure when they played that it was spot on. Squire's playing was amazing.
monitor problems. without them, all bands die (and it is NOT their fault, it is only their agony to bear. All they can do is wish death upon the unprofessional soundman.)
No It wasn't, Liam got credit for love me and leave me, but he admitted they did that for the crack. Squire wrote Love is the law when he was with the Roses, and brown rejected it.
GOD, look at the state of this! jesus its clear that the seahorses were pretty much a vehicle for squire's Zeppelin complex! not so much a band as one mans ego trip!
Whatever John and Ian will do they will always be slaves to their past. And it´s their own fault or brilliance. Stone Roses will always be known as one of the best english bands ever.
Lol. the weather looks complete shit. I think had the seahorses just dumped their lead singer and had John Squire solo for an hour or so, that would have been more entertaining.
The song is excelent and i love the guitar solo but this performance is pretty shit. The band do look a bit bored like someone else said, and they're voices aren't enthusiastic or caring
Rubbish. Okay for a pub gig but this is a headline slot at a huge festival. Squires solo is just a guitar wank. The band look bored and it's all just a showcase for the guitar playing.
Chris Helme, is a cock. No point in going down the front giving it large when you cant even sing the fucking song. Shite band, shite tunes, I'm gutted John Squire formed this shite. I'd pay more to watch him paint!!!
this is a killer track. awesome. i want a les paul now, as well as a 12 string rickenbacker 360 so i can play the smiths. stone roses are better than this band though.
woohoo chill out beansprout i was just saying that you dont need to have the best guitar in the world to sound good i was giving him some advice not knocking him its just that iv seen so many stupid people go out and buy expensive "axes" just because some one else has one and they userly cant play the guitar at all sorry theinck if i have upset you in any way
Yeah wise up. He's amazin & has a unique style. If u listen u can hear he has many influences. Those Japanese scales he played on I Wanna Be Adored are awesome. It's gotta be 1 of the best fukkin guitar intros to a song ever made. Yeah the singers not hot but u try singin through a mike with 2/3 guitars & drums full blast behind u. Maybe he had a sore throat, maybe his monitor wasnt workin right & he couldnt hear shit..who gives a fuck? Nobody's perfect. Least he's up there doing it.
This is fucking embarrassing. A decent guitarist reduced to some dumb fuck kareokee Jimmy Page. Why why why? Whats wrong with sounding like John Squire?
wow..great vocals dude,spot on,note perfect.this is not a monitor problem its the fact he cant fucking sing live,there album was auto tuned to fuck..he sucks im sorry but mr stone roses is the man
This is a great song but they sometimes make that silly mistake bands make of playing it too fast. It wrecks the groove of the song when they whip through it. Yeah it seems the monitors killed their chances at getting the vox in key. It really goes off the rails when the backup kicks in, yikes.
Yeah, Helme used to work in our local music venue in york-fibbers. Great lad, met him a couple of times doing acoustic gig`s there. great album and very underrated album. Remember headlining Tom HIngley at fibbers Chris??? I had ticket no.1 you signed it and both were great. Love IS the law. x x x x x x x x
Must have been pure nerves in the first chorus, it was awful! I remember telling my friends how good the album was at the time, this was sadly their introduction to them, don't think they bought the album! If I remember rightly Chris Helme was spotted busking outside a shop by John Squire and thrown straight in at the deep end, correct me if i'm wrong. Still my favourite band of '97.
Bollox!! Helm sings only 3 bum notes in this song...Brown did manage 3 in tune in his entire fkin career...charismatic, part of a good band, maybe, a singer....our survey said!!!!!!!!!!
Lol only 3 bum notes? You sure about that mate? :o) Musically this is a great performance but the singing is so so bad, half the time the lead singer doesn't even bother finishing his lines cos he's messed them up that bad.
Remembered watching this on TV and couldn't believe how bad Chris Helme's singing was. Studio version most memorable moment of their brief life as a band, LP is ok. Drummer was also pretty good. Also did another ok single 'You Can Talk To Me' before splitting. Always burdened by Roses legend I thought.
tracks ian brown has wrote by himself-sunshine,deep pile dreams,ufmb,lions,free my way,love like a fountain,upsidedown,d or c,homeis where the heart is= all shite and not a patch on what squire has wrote
i wud jump at the chanche to play along side squire who wuden you can only be brill with squire hes a legend n brings the best out of people a mean ian brown was shite at singing but squire brought the best out of him think after jhon left the roses it fell apart but saying that they brought the best out of each other respect 4 the upload
Guitar aside, they are a shocking band. Squire put them together haphazardly. Chris Helme was a busker in Yorkshire and Squire wasn't sold on him for months before finally bringing him in as the frontman. He was always going to be scrutinised as the lead singer along side John ,but he really did not have much of a chance with Ian Brown being held in such legendary status. Cant really blame him for that, all of us would have jumped at the chance to play alonside Squire.
ian's still learning to sing live!!!! mr squire to you is pure class!! if you could do what he can with a guitar you wouldny be postin comments on here!!!! me either for that matter!!! haha!!! I got to see this live twice at t in the p, quality!!!
Look at Chris going down to the crowd, like he is the BIG star!! Ha ha, people only listened to the Seahorses for one thing, and it aint the singing!!
Davey - you should check out The Shining - Quicksilver, it's on here if you search for it. It's my best mate on drums for the Seahorses album you have and The Shining - He has a new band on the way and they freakin rock !!!
Titheed - Read mu comment properly you dumbass, I said I was in the studio when they were laying down tracks for an album that was never finished, I did not say it was DIY. Read this correctly before you respond.... !!!
The singer tries to steal the show...but its contrived...go back to your hippy

Bollox!! Helm sings only 3 bum notes in this song...Brown did manage 3 in tune in his entire fkin career...charismatic, part of a good band, maybe, a singer....our survey said!!!!!!!!!!

Lol only 3 bum notes? You sure about that mate? :o) Musically this is a great performance but the singing is so so bad, half the time the lead singer doesn't even bother finishing his lines cos he's messed them up that bad.

Remembered watching this on TV and couldn't believe how bad Chris Helme's singing was. Studio version most memorable moment of their brief life as a band, LP is ok. Drummer was also pretty good. Also did another ok single 'You Can Talk To Me' before splitting. Always burdened by Roses legend I thought.

Guitar aside, they are a shocking band. Squire put them together haphazardly. Chris Helme was a busker in Yorkshire and Squire wasn't sold on him for months before finally bringing him in as the frontman. He was always going to be scrutinised as the lead singer along side John ,but he really did not have much of a chance with Ian Brown being held in such legendary status. Cant really blame him for that, all of us would have jumped at the chance to play alonside Squire.

If you mean Ian Brown mate then get a life and don't post comments on subjects you know little about. I believe Chris Helme is on the vocals here.
