Taking Back Sunday - "Faith" LIVE STUDIO SESSION

[Aivin024]

o_o John's taking a bath on his own sweat eeeeewwwww.....

hahaha

[NickAD30]

So, he sure can't sing. He always sounds like this. This is what you get for singing way out of your range for your whole career.

[ThatDereKid]

@NickAD30 You do realize he hit the notes like nothing for 5 years?

[NickAD30]

@ThatDereKid He really didn't. Their live recordings are very noticeably autotuned, and I've seen them live a few times and he never really had a good sense of pitch.

[ThatDereKid]

@NickAD30 Look up the TAYF-era performances. They got no form of help there.

Like the "Your Own Diaster" live performance with around 30,000 views.

[NickAD30]

@ThatDereKid So I looked up that video, and he sounds almost as bad there. It's inevitable that by singing crazy high notes that you have to squeeze out like he did all the time, your voice will end up sounding like this. Raspy and squeaky. They used to be my favorite band, until I realized how silly it was that he sang those parts when there are plenty of great bands with singers who sing in their range. I don't know how you're not hearing the off notes in every performance.

[ThatDereKid]

@NickAD30 I'm talking about the video by Gracesux9. Read the comments there, they know what I'm talking about.

[sk8brder40]

@ThatDereKid NickAD30 knows exactly what video you are talking about and he is still 100% correct. TBS is still my favorite band, but Adam has messed up his voice by using cigarettes and improper techniques that completely strained it. Live, he was always out of key, even a little bit, unless it was an autotuned video. Yeah, he does Your Own Disaster pretty well. That's because it's sung lower, in his range. When he goes higher, he's always squeaking out notes just barely out of key.

[sk8brder40]

@ThatDereKid Basically, he pushes out his notes, rather than using the proper stances, breathing techniques, and use of the soft and hard pallettes in the mouth to help release them out like a breath of air. I totally believe he used to have the ability to hit those notes, but he never got the correct training or lessons to teach him how to do them safely for his vocal cords. He probably got quite a few nodes in his throat over the years due to that.

[ThatDereKid]

@sk8brder40 Oh, I see. I guess it must be a combination of that, and smoking. I don't get how he never learned to do things the proper way, because he had a vocal coach, her name is Janice Cruz. I wonder...

[mrcrunchyapplepops]

@NickAD30 you shouldnt put limitations on art

[Slurpthespoon]

HA. NUMBER TWO DISLIKE! FUCK YOU ALL.

[Thoughtsandoractions]

This is a lot better than most of the other sessions I have seen. I think it's because in order for him to sound good he has to sing out a lot louder. He has a very big band voice. Not well for acoustic. Of course the smoking doesn't help. But this is pretty good.

[rolandoreyna90]

Does anybody else wonder why they never let Eddie Reyes play guitar so Adam could focus more on singing?

[TomothyWTF]

@rolandoreyna90 Who knows. He might not have been available.

[rolandoreyna90]

@TomothyWTF Your right, but I have been following TBS since there first album and when ever they do an acoustic show, I don't think I have ever seen him in one.

[TomothyWTF]

@rolandoreyna90 Yeah, I think you're right. It'd be nice to know the real reason though.

[playstation94396]

out of tune,

[enakynnek]

I love how Adam is wearing a beanie, and John is sweating his ass off.

[killinguguy126]

Zero dislikes. God damn right :D

[nellie2581]

@killinguguy126 not any more, there are now 3 dislikes and there could be more

[killinguguy126]

@nellie2581 Oh dude thanks! From now on, I'll think about the infinite possibilities of the future before I post on Youtube!

[nicoeloise]

adam's voice sounds soo tired, better quit smoking man, you're way out to reach those high tunes from the past or even those from this last album

[shellbal]

@nicoeloise yeah, but he also just got off tour, I saw him in Milwaukee and he's amazing, and his voice sounds fucking great.

[Asaski09]

@nicoeloise Part of it is smoking, part of it is the fact that he throws himself out there during tours, for which his voice suffers.

[ABRMetalHead]

@Asaski09 Agreed, I personally dont see the worth of it. Ruining a perfectly unique voice.

[RicoCabredo]

this was 10x better than the buzz worthy live version

[Cycycycyk]

1:48 me-heee

This song was incredible live. The first time I ever heard it, I was a foot from Adam, and I'll never forget it. <3
