Taking Back Sunday - "Best Places To Be A Mom" (Live At KROQ)

[myeahok]

They should record their next album with this new voice. More texture.

[KenneyTDAGARIM]

Adam is a tool

[Aivin024]

Did just Adam cough? Hahahaha

[cabratotal3]

ok, yo said "...when they were young..." and I said, They're still young. Maybe you meant, when they were younger

[KeithusTFS]

That other guy needs to stop

[eidrugs]

wath's up whit adam it;' so changed :(

[Aivin024]

@eidrugs Throat problem, watch his interview with CNN

[sk8brder40]

@Aivin024 How does his CNN interview from 2006 explain his throat problem that he has now, 6 years later?

[Aivin024]

@sk8brder40 No, not the 2006 interview. He has a CNN interview last January, I'll try to pick the link for you.

[sk8brder40]

@Aivin024 Please do!

[kerrykillner]

Adam you've gotten a little chubby.. he he

[Zeroofdark]

It doesn't matter if it was 5 years ago or now, TBS still rocks, and they're still awesome

[amyfarhan116]

i googled the best palce to be a mom as soon as adam said about it. it is Norway xD

[KellyAnn2390]

The imperfection has always been one of my favorite things about Adam's voice. If he didn't get off pitch or go squeaky sometimes, it'd be disappointing, IMO.

[mattg30380003]

I think it sucks that most of you are looking for perfection in his voice and can't really appreciate that imperfection and how amazing things are when you accept and realize that..

[XxXinlove1XxX]

mmmm theyre sooo grown up :)) i thought they were cuter as little boys but there growing up to be such talented men

[SFVideoProd]

The lead singers voice sounds dead..

[MysteryMonday]

loving the sneaky little cough there.

[XxSonicSalmonellaxX]

good to know! 

[GregIsLegend]

I actually love the way he's singing here. to each his own I guess.

[adamwain]

Adam has never had a crystal clear voice live.........Nothing wrong with that. I happen to like his grizzly tones. If you want perfect just listen to the CD's.

[JesseLindberg]

nice hair bro..

lmao!

[ChPhotog1]

they should st drop the tuning to make it easier to sing poor lads

[CruelCody]

It just makes it sound more raw. Fuck what you think.

[BrandonBMDG]

adam lazzara got big!!



[illboy6]

even if you didnt know that his voice was tired from being on tour its common sense that you would think that something is just off and he dosent actually sound like this normally.

[shapeofmyheart414]

Oh dear god. I love this studio version but this looks painful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Endless195]

i love the random fact xD !!

[TheEverfoo222]

i think i like the sound of the vocals better on this idk i might just be weird

[caitob32207]

@TheEverfoo222 It gives the song more emotion.

[ABRMetalHead]

Its a shame. He completely smoked and drank his beautiful voice away. I still enjoy the record, but he has progressively diminished his talent at hitting those notes as time progressed.

[ToxicatedLum]

@ABRMetalHead you have no idea what you're on about.... his voice was warn out from all the other gigs he's done.

[ABRMetalHead]

@ToxicatedLum dude i've seen pictures of him smoking and drinking even while onstage..and his live performances back in the day were a whole lot better compared to what they are now.

[Whammmmmyify]

when I made my girlfriend listen to this song, she was like "Wow, he has a great voice"... And I was like "Well you have to hear they're older songs.." She has no knowledge on music... I mean she sings terrible!!! But I have this kind of voice from smoking 1 pack a day... So I know, I'm not quitting smoking if having this kinda voice makes her happy... And to all who hates present TBS, vanish and listen to overly auto-tuned fags like uhmmm... Every band formed since 2007 to date...

[15jakecool]

Is he saying temptation tastes much sweeter or today should taste much sweeter?

[chogbhog]

for those who know what their playing on guitar, they are playing it in E. and its a damn high note to reach for this song. its not easy..

[ABRMetalHead]

@chogbhog they're playing in Eb bro.

[TheFritillaryBand]

@chogbhog They are Eb bro. But it's good that they used standard chords here. Easy to copy. hehe :D

[BakedFaceProductions]

YOUR MOM!

[nickliveslife]

adam is one of my most favourite musicians, his music is so full of passion, music isnt about technical precision, its about heart, soul, and feeling, all of which adam exudes with every breatth in each of his songs. music isnt about fame or money. if he (they) were a street performer, he would still be my favourite musician and i would come and sit and watch him play for hours every day

[tjonahue]

He's gotten so big, adam....I still love you though.

[ToxicatedLum]

his voice was so strained from touring and being older whilst doing so, trust me, i saw them live last month and his voice was perfect.

[MarcDshort108]

@ToxicatedLum and i assume this is early in the day... its fact that your voice is more raw and strained/raspy early in the day. thats also why most concerts are at night... after voices hav had like 10 12 hrs to warm up

[TheeAldeen]

@ToxicatedLum his voice is perfect foo

[agent00blake]

@ToxicatedLum Agree completely. John must just be having a bad day.

[addzj]

good guitar parts.....thats it.

[addzj]

TERRIBLE.

[misterhendersonD]

Maybe I'm alone, but I like the sound of adam's raspy strain. Of course I like his old vocals to and how they've changed album to album... but this is cool. And I still love this song so much, so greatly written and constructed well :)

[ConfrontYourPast]

I'm going to be one of these types that says I fucking love the new album can't stop listening to it. My favourite TBS album and I've been following them since the beginning. I love John, amazing song writer. Yes, Adam smokes but bare in mind John doesn't...This will be between shows and if you've ever done a huge tour night after night of singing in the insanely high octaves that Adam sings in will be DAMN TIRING and it is the morning so he's just tired. Enjoy the music gentleman and ladies. X

[allisonadam81]

Do you think Adam knows that he's kind of blown his voice out over time?

I miss him on the Louder Now tour... He had perfect hair... and awesome stage presence... And he could sing the songs without it sounding painful :(. Where You Want To Be is my favorite album though.

[enakynnek]

@allisonadam81 Cigarettes.

[NYR264]

Taking Back Sunday is a band that feeds off energy, they're songs aren't always built to be acoustic songs to an empty room, they're usually made for thousands of teenagers to scream at the top of their lungs. Look up old TBS live when they were young and you'll see exactly what i'm talking about.

[cabratotal3]

@NYR264 WTF? how old are you? they're still young

[NYR264]

@cabratotal3 im 18, will be 19 in feb. dont kno why youre asking but regardless, they are in fact OLDER now than they were when they started cuz people age. theres a huuuuuge difference in how they played live when they first started compared to how they play now. either way theyre still my favorite band and still will not release a song i dislike.

[XxSonicSalmonellaxX]

@NYR264 you don't have to look at old ones, their still like that. I saw them recently again and i thought it was a really great show...

[Aivin024]

@NYR264 watch TBS in Toronto live...that'll prove your words men. They are owning and do awesomely owning

[Moe1234ize]

Damn cigarettes, There hard to quit! 

[FakeFlourescentSkies]

adam totally blew his voice out getting wasted or something the day before

but its so cool just seeing him and john in the same room playing a song together again

[buzzboy5150]

holy crap!

i dont have a clue on who this is but they suck!!!!!!! the only thng they have on my is they can play better... thats it!

really my dogs and cant ran when he opended his mouth..... no good, really sucks ass!

[XFPunch]

@buzzboy5150 You need to lay off the meth man, you're not making any fucking sense. Maybe you should try quitting crack while you're at it, just to be on the safe side.

[Anonymous2247]

Adam sounds like a cow being raped by a flaming cattle prod...still like the song.

[hardman92690]

the other acoustic version they did was better

[unutilized]

funniest fucking comments in the world - keep em coming I thumb all of them up

[mrcambo419]

Adam sounds like he has bronchitis. I still love TBS though...so happy John and Shaun are back!

[fuckyourscenes]

Adam can't hit a note here to save his life.

[rocky0240]

Eating Out Cunt-Day!!!!!

[justeightyseven]

John shits all over Adam when it comes to live vocals.

[skatingaddict]

god adam looks old..

[goodbyecadillac]

Have just bought their new album! Amazing to see those guys back together.

A little sloppy on the vocal side of things here, but Adam is still my favorite singer.

[xbox9788]

FIRST!!!
