Joey Cape's not a bad singer at all. his voice was fucked up in this clip, but i've seen him singing live and it was perfect. I think it's pretty obvious that he was having problems at this show.
ive been to one of Joey's acoustic gigs and caught lagwagon twice now...amazing everytime...this is a one off...as everyone is sayin he had surgery on his throat. It does sound awful tho!
like others have said, this is a one-time thing with his voice being this bad. I saw him many times. his voice is perfect otherwise. totally due to surgery.
i think it's a mix of holding in tears, and a long gig that makes his voice crack. Maybe he lost his voice a little, but it happens to a lot of people. It seems ever since Derrick was gone, he's been in shock and finds it hard to sing
man this is one of the saddest songs in the world..... thanks for the live clip. you can tell how emotional this is for Joey. Lagwagon is the BOMB and i dont care if they hit the "main stream" or not cause thats not what they are about. Take some time to listen to what Joey is really saying and you KNOW he is doing what he LOVES which is making music (as you can tell with his other work with Bad Astronaut and The Playing Favorites) sorry for ramblin... thanks again
wasnt disregarding their music by saying they werent "main stream" just its the fact of it, i love that they are not. they just do what they do and do it good :)
his voice is one of a kind but they are creative to make the music work with the voice he has, plus you can never go wrong with the lyrics they use in any of their songs.
this is why they have been as good as they have been, but yet the reason they have continued to be somewhat underground (not main stream)
sorry folks, but he's just a bad singer. it happens all the time in all kinds of songs, it has nothing to do with the fact that this song is about his dead friend. I played with Lagwagon with my band and it was all the same with him. When we hung out after the show we talked about it and he said it himself. He's just not a good singer, and all ignorant die-hard fans can refuse to believe it but that doesn't change a thing. The Caper himself acknowledges it...
I love Lagwagon, and i think Joey Cape is one of the most greatest musicians that i've ever listen, but unfortunately i have to agree with you, i was so disappointed by the first time i was listening him in live,but the band rock, it is sad but true
Yea right Im sure you "played" with your self instead of with lagwagon. whats your bands name, Huh? thats what i thought jerk. keep your lying ass comments to yourself.
What the fuck are you talkin about you stupid prick? 'My band played with lagwagon'...oh yer im sure you did...whats the name of your band sir?? Iv seen joey live doin his acoustic work...and caught lagwagon twice...each time was amazin. You chat complete bubbles...if he thought he was a bad vocalist himself then he wouldnt be doin it at all would he you knob!?
you should be aware that all you achieve with this tone and attitude is disqualifying yourself. until you've had the appropriate experience in this matter, exercise some modesty or simply refrain from commenting at all instead of celebrating your own topical ignorance. thanks
Sorry but i think you disqualified yourself a long time ago by bowling in with your 'Mister know all know fuckall' attitude! As for your comment...worded in a different way, you could have possibly avoided abusive replys from 'ignorant' fans like myself. Everybody is entitled to an opinion...but yours was far from that...you fuckin knew it all didnt ya! All in all i think its your fuckin attitude that is sufferin with ignorance!!
To everyone saying Joey has lost his voice or he sounds like crap fuck off. He is obviously choking up trying to sing a song about his dead best friend. I would like to see you get up there and not cry. RIP Derrick
non li avevo mai sentiti...bravi xò...cmq,da quel che so joey cape ha avuto problemi vocali fino a poco tempo fa...e questa canzone probabilmente è stata fatta proprio in quel periodo.basta ascoltare il Rock Am Ring del 2004..la voce è uguale proprio a causa di questi problemi...problemi vocali a parte,joey ha una gran bella voce!grandissimi lagwagon!!
what you see is punks honesty, you shouldnt turn up if you expect a studio trained voice, rather a raw band playing it how it is, and meanwhile joey hits the notes 99% of the time!
i know but as stated before, he'd lost his voice. and given the circumstances leading up to the writing of this song, its a bit of a crappy comment to make about commiting suicide!
damn why joey :( he had an awesome voice!!! I don't say that his voice now is shit! It's very good aswell but it's sad he never can sing as good as before
yeah, the thing is his voice was fucked. Lag wagon actualy canceled the show before this one due to his voice problems. I am happy that they decided to play, cause it took me a 5 hour drive to get to the show.
his voice cracks so much when he's trying not to cry. only elton john could maintain that pitch while singing a requiem. i love this band so much.
