I think that the vocals are actually being controlled by the keyboard player but the dynamics are being controlled from the voice of the drummer. Kind of like a microphone on a microkorg, only she has the mic and he has the keyboard. my guess
@mrlee192 - There are lots of different methods of reproducing voice-doubling and octaves that can be used live. While not as good of quality as the studio would be, it can still sound pretty good. Personally I like this stripped down version just as much as the studio version.
@aeonblack6 I think U2 did this with their Beautiful Day single, or rather, the producer, Daniel Lanois implemented this technique in-studio, and the Edge does it live.
@drewlsy I'm not too sure on that one, but it wouldn't surprise me. Usually bands that have a lot of production value and a very poppy/mainstream sound do it. It is a lot more forgiving on the vocalists and keeps them sounding "big".
@NESguerilla - It's because of modulation, her mic is ran through one or all of what the guy with all the effects and keyboards is toying with, he's controlling filters on it.
How is he ment to make his voice sound like a huge choir like on record? He cant unless he mimed. So i think its good, stripped down, hes still singing fine!!!
when i first heard 'velvet' i was blown away. i remember thinking, shit.. i found my new favorite band.. i was really disappointed that the rest of their music didnt quite reach that level. still good, but kind of a let down in the way that it all could have been so much better if it had the same feel as velvet.
@MrTommygunn777 shes from osaka, japan. japanese chicks dont speak like guys which means shes lip-synching or singing on overdubs. anyways theyre amazing live
@radgemasterben Who knows ...her voice could easily sound like that if she was too close to the mic - but the mismatch between her mouth and the vocal sounds makes me think that the vocal we can hear was sampled.
i like that he keeps it on. if you know any punks, they rarely remove their leather jacket, studded vest, etc. i think its his way of showing his roots, though hes not playing in a punk band. and fuck yeah, velvet is their best song. wish the rest were that good.
Ah these guys were alright when I saw them supporting the Pixies, though I think they had the sound levels all wrong and too much distortion as you couldn't really make out much apart from noise :-S
there pretty good live, but to be honest this the only song i like of theres, and i only heard it cuz they surpported muse last month at the nia, and it's also a song for xbox 360 at the moment lol
Saw them support muse....never wanted to throw my own shoes at a band so much in my life. I watched this to see if it was just the sound from the venue.....sadly not
