Neverender: Always & Never by Coheed and Cambria (Night III)

[SleeperKhan]

Why.. Can I not find Welcome Home right after this?

[Gamestopkid08]

Ok seriously... the backup singers MAKE this song... one of my favorite from Neverender.

[MaiGamer]

He looks like Slash!

[HalfAzzedOriginalz]

@MaiGamer The only difference is Claudio can play a guitar and sing better and he's not overrated like Slash is.

[AlphaR18Pmale]

he is such a gifted singer i love it

[dKumfi]

One person couldn't be caught when he/she ran.

[thomasoring]

Very emotional.

[silentearth9000]

WHY IS IT ONLY TWO AND A HALF MINUTES???? WHY???

[thericecrispy2]

Someone couldn't catch him.

[emmanueldizon]

woooohoooooo!!!!!! finally a good live version of this song!

[ElijahWalker15]

@emmanueldizon

all of their live songs sound awesome. how could you say such a thing?

[themizstinks21]

the back up vocalists just ruin some songs, i.e. No World for Tomorrow

[FliXeRoCk107]

Ahh 22 of June im seeing them! Can't fucking wait! But first i got Trivium and Rage Against The Machine to go and see!

[fullmetalfunk]

Rage? and COheed in the same year...you suck...

[FliXeRoCk107]

are you going to see Rage? Just because i'm not as close minded as you. Open your pallet sir. Rage and Coheed are my in the top 5 of my favorite bands, so why is seeing them in the same year bad? If it's in the same year that annoys you, then try in the same month; Rage - 6th of June; Coheed - 22nd Of June...

[fullmetalfunk]

Haha you took my comment totally wrong man haha. Rage and Coheed are EASILY 2 of my top 5 favorite bands. I said you suck because I'm jealous haha. Not too big on Trivium though. I'm going to see Coheed on the 22nd of April so I get to see them and I'm stoked but I'm massively jealous you get to see Rage. Have fun dude.

[fullmetalfunk]

Oh and I assure you my musical pallet is wide open. I like everything form Coheed and Rage and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, early 90's G-Funk rap, Cage, Sage Francis, harlem renaissance jazz, classical, older Metallica, Pantera...a little bit of everything.

[zrea1]

hopin for the to come in the New Mexico area for YOBR tour..

[pageperpage]

...co&ca pls tour in the philippines haha \m/

[DistortedDecision]

That double neck is a beast.

[KennethGivens]

Oooh, someone didn't tune your 12-string, Claudio...time to fire a tech. ; )

[juble2]

beautfiul :']

[LetTheBikesOut]

my Dad thought this was Pink Floyd one day when he came in my room and i was listening to them. hahahaha.

[mokerbow]

they know what's next . . .

[muski16]

Claudio is the truth...period

[cicciobastardo01]

0:53 lol the recording crowd xD

[tandy174]

i luv this song

xxxxx

[guitartist22]

its not like drop d is that hard to tune back and forth from. he probably just does it for effect (always and never sounds awesome on 12-string) and to pay a little tribute to his influences

[guitarfreakx10]

This song sounds awesome on a 12 string

[redroseweir]

they all are, silly. :D

[prodigyoftheyear]

Considering it's based on the story Claudio wrote, yeah it's pretty screwed up. but it makes the story that much more beautiful :D

[buddyfio]

hahaha

[ksefreak]

this just proves that claudio is god

[justin10adson]

I love this song. it's like a very beautiful song.

[coolkid4993]

i hate his back up singers.

[kajemusic]

Yeah they're kind of stuck up and you can totally tell thaty they're not really into the band.

[totsuo831]

youre retarded and you dont know what youre talking about

[josecarloszavalacarr]

what would you have liked them to do...dance around the stage?

[candiedfeces]

I believe he plays the double neck here because Welcome Home immediately follows this song.

[tortillachip520]

true, but welcome home starts out with acoustic too.

the only thing is that always and never is in drop d, so that would be kinda hard to transition with the same guitar lol

[oncetaken]

No, you have it backwards. He plays the doubleneck in Welcome Home because it follows this song. He uses it for the 12-string, something which is never used in Welcome Home, making it superfluous besides its convenience.

[josecarloszavalacarr]

no...YOU have it backwards...the doubleneck IS used in welcome home...so it does make sense to play always and never with it although it being in dropped d makes it a bit strange

[astatslpvids]

Well, the only time the 12-string is used on Welcome Home is for the Am and C chords in the chorus, which don't use the low E string, so he can drop-tune the 12-string neck for Always and Never and not have it be a problem.

Claudio usually doesn't use the 12-string neck on live performances of Welcome Home anyway though because it's such a small part and switching necks back and forth is kind of a pain. He uses the doubleneck on Welcome Home for the visual effect more than anything.

[Mclenz]

No the first note of welcome home is the open E. Only the 12 string is in dropped D the 6 is in standard.

[astatslpvids]

...Which is what I said in the first place.

[Mclenz]

Only the 12 string is in dropped D, the 6 string is in standard.

[totsuo831]

should have used an acoustic.....

[atla18]

I think he did this clean to make the transition into Welcome Home easier.

[atla18]

Plus, using the doubleneck he can have the 12 string tuned for this and the 6 string tuned for Welcome Home, so he doesn't have to change a guitar at all for the first two songs.

[themizstinks21]

@atla18 also 12 string necks sound better through acoustic emulator pedals

[RY7ARD007]

@atla18 actually. both songs are played in e flat along with the whole good apollo album

[atla18]

@RY7ARD007 What I meant was Always and Never has the low string dropped an additional whole step, (so its drop D down a half step) so he can have the 12 string tuned half step down dropD and the other just tuned eflat.

[MaskedLunitic94378]

@RY7ARD007 i have the guitar book for the album, the tuning for this song is in drop D tuning.

[nomargfan661]

@RY7ARD007 Nope--Always and Never is in Drop Db, while the rest of the songs are a half step down from standard tuning (Eb). That explains why he has the doubleneck

[TheJakeMantastic]

@nomargfan661 Technically it's Drop C#.

[nomargfan661]

@TheJakeMantastic Drop Db/C# are the same thing...

[Al112987]

I used to be a huge fan of Coheed and Cambria and this tour has reminded me of exactly what I loved about them. They go all out on everything, dedication at it's very best.

[pippinboyd]

This song is seriously amazing.

Thank you so much for posting all of these songs.

I wanted to see the rest of them.

After seeing just Welcome home, I needed more.

This is phenomenal.

Thank you.

[Hylianmetroid]

awesome
