Cornerstone 2007: Episode #4 (Means)

[KnucklesAndMe]

doodododoodlllo WAAAAAA

[xxswedexx]

Man i saw em live in 2008 and he was much better. He must have been sick or something because he tore it up when I saw them

[iixlovex40z]

hes not that bad i mean he has a high pitch he starts screaming but when he keeps doing it he gets better i guess

[baseballpbJesus]

dude i love sweet tea

[rocker14566]

jeez this was a bad performance from the entire band

[paulmetalcore]

he forced the scream, well, the band play good (Y), the singer no screaming good u_u

[EviscerationP1a9ue]

haha! im from Tennessee and we have sweet tea

[ghostgate82]

Worst screamer ever live. Not too bad on the album version. The last album has shitty screams ON the album though....I never really liked Means. I give them props on Christian lyrics though. The best Christian lyrics come from Oh Sleeper and August Burns Red though.

[iusedtohaveabeard]

for today by far in my opinion.

or sleeping giant

[ghostgate82]

Yeah, they are two more of my favs! I just got the new Oh Sleeper and it owns. Best Buy doesn't carry For Today! AAAHHHH. Time to fire bomb them! But yeah, they own too!

[iusedtohaveabeard]

order it off the facedown store, they have a back to school deal going on right now and oyu get 10% off everything!!

[elkmoore]

Wrong

[xGLOBEx55]

he tore his fucking vocal chords give him a break

[ghostgate82]

He only tore them because he didn't know how to scream properly. He was actually damaging them every time he performed. How do you think other bands do it for 10 years and longer? Because they scream without it HURTING! LOL

[exclusivESignals]

@xGLOBEx55 actually, they broke up because the drummer was getting married and he was going to leave the band, and the rest of the guys didn't want to continue making music without him, so all together, they made the decision to break up.

[xGLOBEx55]

@exclusivESignals i never said anything about them breaking up lol

[xJUSTxPRAYx]

I love these dudes, but their live stuff just isn't that great. I love the vocalists new band. Saints Never Surrender. Right from Indiana!

[JakeShappert]

continuance*

[leumasmurd]

i wish they were still together. this was the first time i saw them live. they put on a great show. they will be missed

[tediumblithly]

why is there no circle pit?

[schoolboy91]

his scream has changed a lot.

but thats not too surprising.

after playing so many shows and screaming every fucking day, it's bound to get whack.

[zealousheels777]

yeah free health care! let bureaucrats tell you what you can and can't get fixed on your own body! At least its FREE! Do yall know what its like to even pay for crappy health care, it sucks. trust

[Dying101Fetus]

there is no such thing as free health care!

He pays for it in taxes.

I lived in canada!

How would doctors get payed!

And if it was free why would canadians get their surgeries in america...

[murstang]

Canadians get their surgeries in America because universal healthcare = waiting lists for most surgeries. Going down south and paying for it means getting it sooner.

[jbold5]

go canada.!!

[fazgaz889]

the vocals do sound quite bad...

the songs on their myspace the vocals are quite descent..not as high and a bit more distorted

[metaldrummer454999]

theres an echo for some reason. when the sound system is totally screwed up. there really good.

[spacestationfive]

Everyone knows that this guy just yelps live, just admit it. The album does sound good though.

[darkhole777]

his screams dont sound very good live

[DaltonDisciple]

your obviously not a fan cuz this is how their new cd souds for vocals, they r yelly more then screamy, but they r sick! so shut up noob.

[twistedkid1991]

dude calm down he was just saying his opinion he screams suck live there way better on the connected album thats why i hate there new cd but if you like it then good deal but dont get all butt hurt cause some one said there opinion

[LukeXftw]

lol he said "shut up noob" i dont think he was that seriously devastated by what darkhole said xD

[PsychoTemplar]

The sound system is messed up. I work with PA systems, and this happens sometimes. The sound guy needs to boost the lows and mids on the guys mic a bit...

[darkhole777]

awesome, i love means and a plea for purging, im seeing them this saturday

[rocker14566]

awesome band and usually do better but video just sucks

[IApostasyI]

This video does not to justice.

Means are an awesome live band, this video just sucks ass.

[snowfreak101]

well not always true they played a show in my town but his vocals were so worn out i talked to him and this was there first long tour and he was worn out as fuck but yeah there all amazing guys but his vocals can get weak but what ever he still has a amazing scream

[snowfreak101]

his scream sounds like crap in this

[JamesPlaysBass]

sad but true .. the singing is rubbish in this recording, which is a shame

[anthony398]

Kinda reminds me of Woody....

[cowboysgotguns13]

this interview is OVER

[xRONx89]

It was so cool to see MEANS play in my town! It was just so sweet to actually talk to them too! I got a shirt!

[Yero2815]

Means are a bunch of cool dudes. They played last night in Chicago and there were probably only 10 of us left at the end when they went on. They played a great full set, and afterwards stayed around and chilled with all of us. Awesome guys.

[AniLindsayRae]

Totally getting my MEANS fix coz I can't afford to make the six hour drive to their hometown for the show tonight.

[titoergon]

i kinda like how it sounds

[xSoFxMusicx]

I have personally been at one of Means' shows before they were big and they played in my home town of only 11,000 people in Minnesota.

They sounded NOTHING like that. They sounded almost as good as they do on their CD.

They didn't have the equipment they do now either.

They were much better with our $300 rented Pa system =p

And they ROCKED.

[username19237]

It's the sound system. Too much reverb, and too much treble. The probably have it preset, and with this guy's high voice, it's too much.

[Iamhuxley]

I've seen means play live multiple times and it's always sounded good, I'm thinking it's the sound system there

[Goodheavensmusic]

i've seen them play as well. and to be honest it doesn't sound that much different. but i actually dont think its that bad.

[Tenche]

yeah his screams are not that good I still love the band.

[eiloway]

i didnt know u had black ppl in Canada till a couple days ago!

[draperdude]

His scream live is alot different than his recorded scream, you have to realize that alot of bands are that way on super long tours.

[brennenlol]

what is the deal with his voice? it sounds so weird. is that like something w/ the sound recording or his actual way of screaming?

[jraeros]

all i know is, it sounds fucking gay

[texasmatt]

sounds like a terrible sound system to me. nothing really to do with his scream

[titoergon]

i tihnk theirs just too much treble from his voice that the mic cant handle it...=/ but thats only a theory

[NormaJean90]

i heard this song before i never knew it was these guys who played it lol

[sandersonftn]

oh, i didn't know

[sandersonftn]

isn't that the cattle deacpitation bassist interviewing him?

[REDUCEDTOMEREFILTH]

No that is the vocalist from A Plea For Purging.

[kissitgoodbye]

Every New Day is dominant.

[Keenanrocks1313]

Um..BEST INTERVIEW EVER.

[KevinThurston19]

[NolanJohnstone30]
