Protest The Hero ugh |
CrownOfMagnets
08.15.11 | yeah shame about Mastodon, the music is always tight as hell live though |
Wheelah
08.15.11 | Periphery's vocalist sucks to begin with, but live... I almost vomited. His highs were so screeching and irritating. He could hardly even scream either. Mercifully, they played a couple of their songs without him... But the damage was done... |
Blaizend
08.15.11 | Anathema were perfect live |
Paradiso
08.15.11 | fair to midland is amazing live, darroh by himself is quite a show |
Apollo
08.15.11 | Our Lady Peace is godawful live |
Gmork89
08.15.11 | I saw them live when I was like 12 so I don't remember haha. |
Wolfhorde
08.15.11 | Rarely ever had that experience. Though the sound technicians on most festivals are dickheads that don't know shit what they're doing. Some of the best sound and live performances were little concerts like Russian Circles and Boris. |
WeepingBanana
08.15.11 | most of the "bad" concert experiences i've had have been due to the sound guy. i saw Deerhunter last fall and i literally couldn't hear anything Bradford Cox was singing. so fucking annoying |
Satellite
08.15.11 | mastodon's singer is fucking awful live. i've seen them headline twice while touring with infinitely better bands (against me! and converge) and both times over half the audience left before they finished their set because they were sucking so much. |

08.15.11 | Chipotle rules.
Hip-hop shows don't have this problem. |
Satellite
08.15.11 | that's a bummer weeping. deerhunter's normally amazing live. |
WeepingBanana
08.15.11 | yeah i mean they seemed to be awesome but you couldn't tell from what you heard. i still enjoyed the show to a pretty good degree though |
UnnamedOcean
08.15.11 | I saw Rishloo live. They were pretty terrible. But they opened for Karnivool, who were absolutely perfect. Ian Kenny is a god. |
RobotJesus
08.15.11 | We came as Romans those cleans suck so bad live |
CrownOfMagnets
08.15.11 | @WeepingBanana Maybe you were too close to the stage? I saw Deerhunter recently and was right in front of Bradford and I could barely hear the vox |
ffs
08.15.11 | to be fair the vocals in mastodon are also bad when they're not live |
Satellite
08.15.11 | agreed, but the dude sounds like he's having a stroke when he sings live |
CrownOfMagnets
08.15.11 | he sounds like a fucked up metal version of neil young to me, all nasally and shit |
ZilbelPing
08.15.11 | There's this local band in my area that plays the same mid-tempo songs with straight 4/4. Breakdown after breakdown with pinch harmonics and a few leads hear and there. Anyways the vocalist is the worst part of the band. His singing is atrocious and he can't scream for shit.
I also agree that the sound guys at big festivals are dickheads who don't know anything. Soundchecking with them is the worst. |
UnnamedOcean
08.15.11 | If you are a band you really need your own crew to do mixing. Recently I was at some local concert hall listening to shitty bands at their first gigs. The sound guy had no idea what the fuck he was doing. It sounded like he cranked the treble all the way up while turning the mids and lows down. Add to it that ever band was using crappy fuzz pedals and didn't know how to mix their own instruments, and the sound was ear-piercingly bad. |
ZilbelPing
08.15.11 | @unnamed I hate that, seriously. Luckily the soundguys at the local shows in my area know what they're doing. But those new bands who don't know what the fuck they're doing piss me off. If I ever see a band walk in with those beginner amps, I immediatly sit down and put on ear plugs cause I know it's gonna be a shitfest. |
CrownOfMagnets
08.15.11 | Craig Owens is the worst live vocalist ever for sure. |
SexPanther
08.15.11 | ^ beat me to it |
omnipanzer
08.15.11 | 60% of the time he's great 100% of the time. |
TheArkitecht
08.15.11 | ^ lol, worst vocalists I've seen are bleed from within and while she sleeps, they were just both completely appalling. Tesseract's vocalist is the best I've seen though, his performance was just jaw-dropping. |
FromDaHood
08.15.11 | Underoath
Chiodos
Big D and the Kids Table sounded bad but I have never heard a studio recording from them so there's no basis for comparison |
Yuma310
08.15.11 | the list should have been all the concerts you went to where the vocals sucked. |
FromDaHood
08.15.11 | And Hawthorne Heights. JT sounds like the whiniest bitch in the world live. It's an octave up from the recordings. |
Rumulox
08.15.11 | Ive seen Big D and the kids table and he wasn't too bad live. |
nodding
08.15.11 | THOSE NEW BANDS PISS ME THE FUCK OFF, WHY DON'T THEY KNOW EVERYTHING I KNOW ALREADY |
Leatherneck
08.15.11 | Underoath is not that bad live, ABR's vocalist has some off nights though |
iFghtffyrdmns
08.15.11 | the few times i've seen underoath, both vocals and screams were pretty embarrassing... |
Leatherneck
08.15.11 | yeah maybe i forgot about it cause i'm a fanboy |
Leatherneck
08.15.11 | i had to see Blessthefall to see August Burns Red, almost wasn't worth it |
Yuma310
08.15.11 | anyone else think alter bridges vocals are a little bit off live? I hate them live. |
Leatherneck
08.15.11 | i live 10 blocks away from my country's biggest venue and Geddy Lee was fucking amazing, i wasn't even on the damn concert but wow that guy can sing live, i'm not into Rush though. |
Alexcore
08.15.11 | yes, brent hinds was terrible live... |
OneMoreRoland
08.15.11 | See less shitty bands. Some vocalists are better live (After the Burial)
|
toxin.
08.15.11 | Can I second FromDaHood? The Hawthorne Heights singer literally sounded so feminine that we went on youtube to listen to some songs and were rather shocked that he didn't sound as high-pitched on studio. I've hated the band to this day. |
FromDaHood
08.15.11 | I did the same thing, that's really funny |
In2ThePit
08.15.11 | Saw Underoath on tour with Thursday and the vocals were great, wtf. |
