you cant criticize jakes vocals, this is the live cd and he's being as active on stage and trying to give and draw the most energy from the crowd, oh yeahh and also scream like a brilliant maniac. you try it.
Jake made a statement after this came out that he was just recovering from a cold or something like that when they recorded this so dont be hatin he's still one of the best vocalists out there
jakes just trying to sound like he does on record, thats harder than it looks. most singers change pitch or convert to clean over screams. he stays consistent so dont hate. i idolize this guy
Jake said he had an of night, it's obvious in alll of these videos. ABR live is rediculous, along with Jake Luhrs. He's spot on almost every performance. Too bad this was a step down from what he usually is. I've seen ABR 5 times, and Jake has seized to amazed me EVERY TIME.
@920connor man ur like the 2nd or 3rd person to say something has seized to amaze them. the saying is: they havent ceased to amaze me. like ur amazed everytime
The Video is just a little over produced, it's exactly how he sounds live just a little more clear, not as distorted and ronchy so you don't get the full effect of the live performance but go and see them and you'll know they're as good as it gets. Amazing Band.
I do agree with jackcepticeye's comment, Jake sound so much better in loads of other videos, especially his highs, I feel like they fade into nothing on this DVD which sucks, they should make one like Parkway Drive which has the songs along with the story of the band :D
@aFedosov I don't think so man it sounds darn near perfect to be honest. I think it's the syncopation that makes it SEEM off beat but really that's just the way the song was intended to be
Yeah I know what you mean. If you google them, it says, "The band is primarily known for their heavy breakdowns and odd-meter riffs" (Wikipedia August Burns Red). I know that says riffs, but I think it also relates the drumming
ok the music is fckng great i love the death metal shit BUT why are they dancing and jumping like they are the jonas brothers....i mean i would expect a little bit more seriousness from death metal this is like watching elmo singing cradle of filth...but the songs are great
what i don't get is why they don't put a bit of ditortioin into Jake's mic. Its not like hes singing so why not? or is that considered cheating or something?
Right, stop the arguing. Jake screams like a badass mofo. And he probably did in Home aswell. I've got the DVD , and watched it over and over, hundreds of times. I've seen them live twice, i spend most of my day listening to ABR, and let me tell you, The person who mixed Home compressed Jake's voice to shit. He is an amazing vocalist, but the sound engineer made him sound weak.
ps. his 'pigsquels' or whatever you wanna call jake's version of are fucking filthy in this!!! also did anyone see this live as im wondering if the lesser quality of his screams are due to the recording or mixing
to the ppl thinking Jake sounds bad or he's sick its not the case, its the actual mixing thats making him sound like that. Even if you listen when he's talking in the mic his 'S' are really piercing to the ears so the guys who's done the mixing for his vocals done a bad job. Plus i seen ABR today and Jake was actually sick and he didnt sound anything like this... actually 100X better than this to be exact
hm... matt is using the 18" oriental china live... i wonder why did he switch to the k custom hybrid china for constellations. oriental sounds way better.
This was a dirty show, loved every second of it! The bass in general seemed less than normal, even compared to the intro bands (which played in a separate room, but still). Perhaps this was to minimize vibration of the camera that was out on the boom? And I believe the only way to improve the vocals would have been for them to take a break before this show, which wouldn't have been a bad idea...
God has blessed these guys with talent.. There is nothing better then a bunch of guys that use their talent to bring glory to the name of God. And they bring a positive message to the kids that would otherwise not hear this kind of thing.
@xbreakdownjunkiex no it's not at, at all. jake's vocals are usually SOOO sick, and clean like they are on the records. this was such a shitty time to record/film a DVD
@xbreakdownjunkiex umm no way dude, the whole mix of this dvd is absolute shit. It's ABR they're perfect live. I've seen em 5 times, and jake sounds 10 times better than this. He's brutal live man, and this is no representation of how he sounds live.
@xbreakdownjunkiex no its not what r u talkin about he sounds much better than this, that one sucked granted but come on dude... i strongly dissagree...d-_-b
@jackcepticeye I remembered you thinking that Jake had a cold while filming, so I asked him when they came to my town on the AP Tour. He said that others had asked him, but no, he didn't have a cold. He told me that that's how he sounds live, and they couldn't have gotten a better sound out of it. His words.
@xbreakdownjunkiex bull fuckin shit man... ive seen video of him on the AP tour sounds a thousand times better than this, i saw em on the toursick tour and it was thirty times better than this, he had to have been fucking with you.
@xbreakdownjunkiex He must have been being modest, I've seen them twice. And he was much much better than he is on this DVD. Theres loads of videos all over youtube where he is a lot better on vocals. I personally think there was something not right.
@jackcepticeye Jake is spot on every time bro. If you think he sounds bad thats your opinion. Have you ever seen them live? This is what he sounds like..
@jackcepticeye yeah, but think about it.. they planned to shoot this dvd months in advance, there is a lot of time and prep that goes into shooting it... they cant just move it to a different day, its not that easy.
@jackcepticeye I don't blame him... I mean, if i was being asked to scream for three hours a night four times a week i'm sure i wouldn't sound perfect either.
@jackcepticeye i agree. he sounds awful and this is my favorite band ever. im not hating. i mean i know its different live because of acoustics and everything, but it seriously sounds like he was just screaming at the top of his lungs not even trying to make words out. i mean i loved this concert. wish i could of been there. but yea. i saw them back in 2007. he did not sound like that.
@jackcepticeye I support you.. everything besides vocals sound the exact same as the album.. he ruins it by not being as good as on the album like the four other people in his band
@schecter26guitarist I'm not sure which singer you mean, Jon Hershey or Josh McManness. Jon left after It Looks Fragile and one tour because of the time commitment/college, and I think Josh left for time commitment and other personal reasons. Josh did Thrill Seeker and Pride and Justice.
