@skyarsalan Actually they're VERY good live cause they came to Appstate and I got to see 'em live....it's just..this performance...wow...haha. Check out some other live videos of them..Idk wtf was going on here.. haha
@Aiden1504 I thought that too at first but if you think about it, it was the very last song. Who knows how long he'd been singing/playing before this one. Either way I think it was a good performance. He always has so much energy and I respect that more than a perfect sound.
@homesnake202 Not really, i think he's just having an off day, even the best singers get those. I've heard other performances where he nailed it, but this one...not so much lol
@rodolforops Erm, actually, he isn't. He was clean then. His stutter is because he has a speech impediment and he was performing at something that was being televised and so he got shy.
@KayleighKokkinos actually he was high as fuck, look at the articles on alt press about adam being on drugs. fred talks specfically about how bad live earth was
This performance was perfect!! It was their first time being on a live event that was on like 7 channels id like to see anyone endure that and still sound fucking perfect, sure theyve been on stupid talk shows like Jimmy Kimble and Jay Leno but they know NO ONE watches those.....this was infront of A LOT of fucking people
@ErictheSickist95 for one, it's Kimmel, not Kimble. Haha. Two, NO ONE watches Jay Leno? Are you kidding me? Jimmy and Jay are both on major networks, so many people watch Kimmel, especially Leno. Three, please don't tell me you think this was perfect. This was pathetic, and also when he was on drugs. He's way better now than right here.
@WillPlayForFoodBand i didnt think he was on drugs!?!?! and i dont know anyone who watchs Jay Leno and Jimmy, plus i like this one a lot because i dont like clean sounding music normally, this actually sounds real ^^
@ErictheSickist95 Yep, he was on heavy drugs at the time. He wrote a song about it actually, that was on New Again. And just because you don't know of anyone that watches it means nothing. Haha. They're both on major networks, and you have to book a ticket like 8 months in advance if you wanna go to one of their shows. Talk shows are extremely popular. That's your opinion if you think this is good. Yeah, it's "real", but it's horrible. Listen to their performances now. Much better now.
@WillPlayForFoodBand I dont like there newer ones, not until john starts singing again, all of the live performances up to date are recorded on shitty cell phones, and i love Fazzi's personality but he's just got to clean of vocals for me
@ErictheSickist95 Look up Live from Oresanz, or listen to their live album from a year ago. Those aren't done on cell phones. Adam's voice has gotten a lot better these past 2 years.
NOT a good live performance. Maybe the singer is hungover or on something... but it's closer to Eddie Murphy than Led Zeppelin. (not good for a band)
My favourite part of this is the dude at 1:35, just chillin' in the background, legs crossed at the ankles like "Yeah you're onstage. So what? I'm on stage too, motherfucker."
one of these days, during a show, adam is going to just collapse in the middle of a set. hes really gone through a lot, and is goin down hill. time for a movie about his life
one of these days, suring a show, adam is going to just collapse in the middle of a set. hes really gone through a lot, and is goin down hill. time for a movie about his life
Awful performance on probably the biggest stage these hacks have ever played on. He is out of breath and an unconvincing frontman. Emo is long gone and I am glad.
@safetosaydontquoteme Haha. Do you know what Literature is? What he was talking about was the stories in the lyrics that serve to distinguish each musicians individual works, which in it's own is a literary work. although I will admit Adam seemed a little overwelhmed...I'm not sure if it was the crowd or what but he seemed really nervous. I dont think you'd have even picked that out if it wasnt for the stuttering and boy did he stutter. lol
@Durivou1 but the way he used "literature" wasn't describing lyrics and work, it was describing how he hopes everyone takes something from the live earth event regarding the environment. literature is the art of written work, and seeing as there was nothing written, and people were listening to music and speeches rather than reading, literature is totally the wrong word to use there.
@LilGalvan1 they're fuckin amazing live it's almost as good as studio but not as good cause the guitar & bass are separated instead of blending together
dudes and dudettes... its called being a performer. being in a band like they are, the more eccentric you are, the more popular you are... which means a happier crowed, more ppl learning about your music from word of mouth and whatnot, which means more sales and a bigger fan base... so why not act crazy as fuck like you're on something? especially if you're a goofy guy like adam seems to be in all the behind the scenes stuff for everything and the way he dances n'shit?
2:17 "Together just not too close, cuz honey, that would be dangerous." Say what you will about the performance, but that's pretty suave of Adam there.
I saw them play at soundwave yesterday and not only was adam a terrible performer, he seemed both drunk and exhausted - yet they were the first act of the day?
On the Taking Back Sunday albums he's a fantastic singer, but a terrible live performer.
But the rest of the band were fantastic, particularly Matt Fazzi.
I saw this when it was on tv back in 07. The mics and amps were messing up. That's probably on of the reasons they sound bad. Look up their other songs that they performed at live earth and you will see what I mean.
I mean. He is DEFINITELY hoarse. The verses are fine. But he tries to cover up his not being able to sing the high notes with "But not too close honey, because that would be dangerous." Which just cracks me up.
Love the band but this is a poor performance and you should be able to perform for your fans no matter what. I saw Breaking Benjamin a couple of weeks ago and Benjamin (the lead singer) was under the weather but still came out and gave a kick ass show. The same should go for TBS
Yeahh... as much as I love this song, this is a pretty poor performance. If he's tired or whatever I'm sorry... he either needs to get a higher voice, or they need to move the song down a few half steps!! It's not all about singing as high as you possibly can, especially if it means you can't sing your own melody lines.
Chavesx03: wrong. Changing the volume of his voice would not make him on pitch. Which he's not. sonoflife74: right. A studio can make anyone sound good.
this is horrible. the high guitar line is out of tune and he cant sing. they make decent records (bcuz of producers) but they're live sound is just repulsive.
if they cant perform well for every show, then they shouldnt be in the biz... some bands tour every fucking year and put on STELLAR shows, i.e Nine Inch Nails but Reznor is a stellar musician...
this only sounds shitty because the vocals and lead guitar too loud. If the sound guy did a better job everyone would be saying that these guys sound better live than in the studio, which i personally think.
