They put on a show... but i wish jon would keep the song more like it is on the record.. he does too much. lol. but its great! love switchfoot. peace!
you need to realise that the guy has probably been singinghis heart out all night, and is very liely absolutely stuffed so its very difficult for him to sing the song exactly the same as the original. thats why he talks some of it and misses bits and pieces.
It's just you. Jon's voice is great it may not have been his best vocal performance but what can you expect it live and when you do long shows your voice starts to wear out a bit.
drew shirley is ridiculous. at the end, while jon's climbing on the amp or whatever, drew's doing the only guitar, and he does a superb job of mixing his chord progression with a solo.
they have fun with this song when i go to concerts they remix it on the cd its different cuz it has to be like that to get the point out but in real life they remix this song alot
They're just in a studio situation which is a lot different than live. :) In the studio they have all of the sound options and equipment and as many takes as they want.
He does speak live, but normally it's more speech-like than that. I think it's both: his voice is hurting because when he does his speech he has more of a Martin Luther King Jr. emphasis (but not accent of course). I wish there was a video of their Waco concert. He was yelling.
you try singing, playing guitar and and jumping around during every song and perform in front of a crowd on a summer night! you probably couldn't do nearly even half of how good he's doing.
What a load of rubbish. He is one of the best unknown singers at the moment (Unknown in the US). The guy was knackered that night, look at his face in say, American Dream he is shattered. The music is excellent aswell. Listen to the lyrics aswell. God sake think before you post.
No it was to Samuality aswell. Sorry about the confusion, i though the reply button put their post in a quote bracket inside your post like on forums, but it appears not. Thanks for pointing it out.
tell me he does not look like bon jovi
