Acoustic Cover "Who Watches the Watchmen?"

[amozoness6]

Aside from the nose-sounding aspect, your voice is very smooth. Silky even.

[redblood55]

Pretty good.

[DylanthegeetaristTV]

you should do some more vocal harmonies. It would beef up the chorus!

[DARTHSTR1FE]

i thought it was great

[BlaQNeenjah]

Awesome I loved playing blood red summer and the light and the glass with you!

[5krunner1545]

its not you its just claudio is amazing

[Terracidal]

I seriously don't get all these derogatory comments on the guy's voice. He sings clearly and carries the tone well.

[pvtcole]

I guess I could say that you breath through your lyrics too much also...don't do that it sounds airy and light, no power.

[shasta4710]

your guitar accents are on the wrong beats lol. but i liked it.

[schecterc1exotic]

Honestly I liked it, it's pretty hard to do a good cover of these songs, most people don't realize that. Tabs? Lyrics? pm me them

[pvtcole]

Some people can sing in the same pitch, tone, clarity as claudio...

You are not one of those people.

Stick with your voice...don't imitate.

[TheSecondStage]

Hmm.. doesn't seem in any way was he trying to imitate Claudio, aside from simply singing the words and playing the music of one of his songs.

Nothing in his voice stresses trying to imitate the Claud.

..you're kinda dumb, lol.

[pvtcole]

Either way his voice is super nasaly and quite frankly hard to listen to without wanting to peel off your skin with an apple peeler and then soaking in lemon juice.

[TheSecondStage]

Lol but didn't you just tell him to stick with his voice? Which has now been labeled nasaly and some other junk? Yeah the cover wasn't that fantastic I suppose, but he tried and was brave enough to post it.

Criticism can be great, when it makes sense and actually tells you what you can fix. You have not done these things.

[pvtcole]

I'm not a professional vocal coach so what do you want me to say? You don't have to be a chef to know that shit tastes bad.

Anyway...the guitar wasn't bad but the singing was. Sing from your diaphram...that's all I can offer from the lessons I have taken.

[AceOfJon]

I love this interpretation of the song. You are great my friend! I love the progression of the chords. And at times a seemingly effortless style. Good stuff my friend.

[ImAfrdOfDaDark]

My friend said you sound like E.T. Just use your own voice, not Claudios.

[lespoop]

step away from the mic a little

[chaosbandit34]

can you send me the tabs?

[chaosbandit34]

emaculate <--- I spelled that wrong

it was a beautiful cover! keep up the work

[AngerFist333]

I won't lie to you, not the best voice ever.

But fuck, it's better than mine.

Great cover bro, i really like it.

[qban11]

I enjoyed it im a huge fan of PFI and C&C, and yeah you don't sound like claudio, but it's a good thing you did a really good job man, post more i like it.

[WhiteDragon2501]

It's been said, but No One can sing anything true to Claudio. He has amazing talent and abilities.

You have a great voice. Better than I can sing, then again, I don't normally sing.

Great job. Makes me wish I was musically inclined. I'd go around playing songs like this just for my own enjoyment.

[Bobderpie]

I have a question, When you play the g cord during the song, witch 2 ways do you play it

[Skook1263]

great on all ends! i absolutely love coheed and am starting to get into the whole prize fighter thing.

[Gons83]

don't care for the voice too much, but i like what you did with the guitar. plus your a coheed fan so all if forgiven.

[Vampire654]

claudio has a very different voice and is hard to duplicate. I say he did a pretty good job vocals

[scfisherman]

I agree the vocals are in key and spot on.

[coheedmonkey1]

nice job! i would by it on itunes

[JacktheFisherman]

you sound like a whiny bitch. but you listen to claudio. so i dont care about your voice

[jwalker2013]

a lot better than nickkilla's you should listen to it.

[karishit]

you have a great voice for signing a song like this. Sure, you'Re not claudio....but you did a great job :)!!

[slicknd40]

thanks!

[LonelyIstheWord]

I hear someone in the background. Sweet, dude, yer kinda good. But no one can ever be as good as Claudio in singing this.

[hana4shiome]

your guitar-ing is pretty good! i would try to change the voice ALITTLE. not much, just make it your own! i love the electronic sound to it, though! i really love this! i would love to have it as an mp3 to just listen to whenever. good job!

[T3HBASSPLAY3R]

Dude, I like it alright. Just, your voice isn't too great for the song. It sounds like you're trying too hard to be Claudio. You sound a little sharp. Don't get me wrong, it was a decent cover. If I'm coming off too harsh, let me know. I'm trying to be constructive. But that's just my opinion.

[redforthosewhovebled]

awesome job, i sent u an invite and what do you use to record yourself with?

[slicknd40]

I have a program called "cool edite pro v.2" and it's really easy to use. and then i am using my stage hardware. my mic, guitar, (obviously lol), and then i have an adapter cord that hooks into a USB slot.

[conor117]

AMAZING man, could you tab that stuff out?

[slicknd40]

I actually got the tabs off of 911tabs(dot)com. so you can check it out there but addmitedly I figured out the intro by ear and I suck at writing out tabs lol.

[rocker123cc]

Wow, Im amazed, your voice is very close to his, and your guitar is great. I think your very talented in singing, i never thought anyone could even be to his voice.

[psychopomp88]

good job.

[VentMultimedia]

Wow, awsome job. Not just the guitar but the singing too, Claudio is hard to cover. I remember that everytime I get my ass kicked singing Coheed songs in Rock Band.

[slicknd40]

Haha thanks! Yeah I know what you mean. I tried singing coheed and songs and I sucked... but i just practice like crazy and it gets a lot easier. you just gotta be comfortable with the natural tone of your voice. don't worry if it can't get quite as high. If you can hit the same note in a lower octave go ahead and hit that. And then work on hitting higher notes. It is possible to extend you range. wow I feel like a know it all lol

[NoMeds69]

GOOD JOB 5/5 stars

[slicknd40]

Thanks!!!!

[EMin0r]

Yo bro, nice cover.

did you play and sing at the same time? Oh and can you give some tabs for the piano part?

And, what did you use to record? Sorry for so many questions

[slicknd40]

well I usually play this song doing both parts at the same time. but I had to record doing seperate tracks. lol oh and I used a program called Cool Edit Pro 2.0 it's just a computer program and I have a special cable to hook the microphone to it. haha but thanks for the compliment! lol

[loganenorris]

hey dude...i can't really hear the acoustic guitar in the song and it is kinda hard to tell here too...what are these tabs?

[slicknd40]

well I the intro I figured out myself, cause it's the piano part, but I got the tabs at 911tabs(dot)com

[loganenorris]

cool i just found them...i am working on this cover myself...i will let you know when i finish it

[JasonBustria]

So I love this song but your voice is a bit nasaly. I'm not saying you're horrible, Just need a bit of work. So do I lol

All in all, Sing from the diaphragm, put emotion into it

[slicknd40]

yeah thanks for the advice. I recorded this a few months ago, and I've since started taking lessons. when I finish or notice a dramatic improvement, I'll probably put a new one up. thanks for the hints though!

[zeliemike]

nice work... you picked an awesome song to cover... now focus your energy on writing/recording your own songs and not someone elses!

[slicknd40]

thanks! I'll have to give it a shot I've got some lyrics just not some music so I'll see what I can do.

[ikilledurllama]

this is a pretty version!

[Konquer1]

Wow, that was really good. Vocals and playing were great. Keep them coming.

[slicknd40]

Thanks! I've always got something I'm working on. I'll be sure to keep you posted.

[CoheedAndSanchez]

This is fucking awsome i love the back up vocals to and the main singer haha but yea good stuff man!

[FAULTYFAME]

[themagicshoes]

[kenyaqueen]

[slicknd40]

Well I didn't for the intro, but during the verse/chorus I had a tab for it.
