I remember seeing this band live a few times and this is honestly one of his best performances. He's singing in a lower octave for lots of parts but he still sounds pretty good. Especially considering how tough of a song this is to sing.
wtf is anyone bitching about this performance for? after multiple songs in full of insane high notes and intense screaming, this is damn impressive. just looking at how sweaty he was, he must have been completely wiped and out of breath. but he still persisted and hit every high note on each chorus. he's obviously not gonna sound his best after doing the energetic equivalent of running a marathon, but he did really damn well all things considering. you don't have to focus on sounding 100% perfect live. you just have to put on a good show and make sure the energy is there.
Because it always sounded this fucked up even if it was early set. He pitch shifted notes in post production he can't actually sing. Its why they dropped this sound and turned into a shit pop punk band
He hit the HIGHEST note in the chorus, give him some mad props!!!!!!!! you are stupid if you think this sucks, some of these other bands (asking alexandria being a favourite) are horrible live
Well i mean there is more to singing than just hitting a high note. Anyone can technically scream a high note, singing is about making your voice actually sound good. Hvaing said that I still think this vocalist isn't bad at all. He just pushes he's voice a little too far in terms of what he can actually do
a little rocky at times, but it gives me chills when he goes that high, especially live even if it isnt 100% perfect. along with most, i seriously doubt anyone posting on here can do better, and if you can, do a video response and lets see it
well being on tour, and going through full sets every other day. not to mention this was one of the last songs for their set that night, no shit he won't sound perfect.
I don't doubt that the voice is corrected, but i'm not sure it's with autotune. It may be some sort of different editing software, as, that's what mixing and mastering is. Making sure everything sounds perfect.
@soulsanctuarymusic10 He also has a really good overtone which makes it sound even higher, because i can hit the same note but it doesnt sound as high even tho it is.
@Dudley3311 you've clearly never seen Incubus or Sigur Ros. The "stamina" that a singer has to keep hitting the notes is what sets the Great singers from the mediocre ones. This guy should try writing lower parts, that he can consistently hit live.
Having some live & studio experience myself, it's usually not because the guy can't sing, but because due to stage fright and/or all the jumping around the stage, he has a way faster heartbeat, so it's harder for him to take a deep breath and to hold that breath, and when you don't have enough air support it gets really hard to nail the high notes. Not to mention bad monitors - you often can't hear your voice in the monitors, which makes you yell louder, which limits your range even further...
if you've ever noticed, "Same thing we do everyday pinky (ft. craig owens of chiodos)" I don't see a craig owens here, and if you know anything about craig owens, its that he has the capacity to sing extremely high, extremely well... with that being said, that this singer can even partially match the tones Craig hits during the recording instead of singing his a major 3rd down, takes more talent than 99% of us possess, amazing play through Broadway, bravo!
@RandomPanda903 most likely the reason for off key is because he does not have a good enough monitor to hear the melody clearly. It happens alot of the time unless you have an in ear monitor which most professionals have. If he could be able to hear his voice, he would be able to correct it.
@organizations13th - what brought up jonny craig? craig owens was featured in this song, not jonny craig. he was in "dont jump the shark before you save the whale".
I like broadway a lot. Micah does use an auto-tune but he uses it the right way. If you can't sing auto-tunes are worthless. As a matter of fact I can see his Anatares AVP auto-tune on the bass rig. I use one. That doesn't mean this band doesn't rock. And this song sounds good.
people dont understand how fucking hard performing is. on top of that the notes he has to hit are usually notes most performers would just stop and let the audience sing for them.
and for my final and last coment i can say that even if the voice doesnt sound as good as in the album which is imposible it sounds really good he can hit all the notes not perfect but as high as in the albummm greaaaaaaaaat singer highest notes ive ever heard
@drakozero8 i almsot agree. but, ive learned from a skylit drive that you have to actually see them before you can get a good opinion on how a band sounds. i hate the way they sound on youtube live. but, when i actually saw them, i came. everywhere. i think itd be interesting to see these guys.
@TheBach12345 i wouldnt doubt Alesana uses autotune, but when i saw them live, he was pretty spot on with the vocals. and are you sure Circa uses autotune?
@Phishiz Yes you are right, but they don't call it autotune, it's called pitch correction. But Broadway has a great vocalist. Touring will kill your vocal cords.
@65thekid I think you're missing the point lol. It takes days of vocal rest for a singer's voice to come back 100%. Even if he played a show the day the before or maybe even 2 days before, it can still affect this performance. It's not just the singing he did earlier this particular night.
@65thekid There's of course this guy, Craig Owens (ex-Chiodos) now in Destroy Rebuild Until God Shows a.k.a. DRUGS, and Spencer Pearson of Decoder. They are all amazing live.
Good live vocalistis: Tyler carter, Johnny craig, antony green, the guy from jamies elsewhere ( sorry dnt know the name) sometimes goes of pitch but is still preety good considering he screams and sings :P
FOR ALL THE VIEWERS OF THS VIDEO who is the most best headbangin drummer...although this is a stupid question please answer a: Matt Traynor,, here's the link b: Chaserr c or Broadway's drummer (I dont know his name) YOUR ANSWER WILL BE APPRECIATED!
@TheBach12345 haha yeah i know that u didtn want to bash tham but i first reconized it when i read your comment the 2nd time and then my comment was already posted. alseana is one of my favourite bands too and i'll see them live in 8 days with ASD and emarosa, soooo stoked man :D
@chrisdadams123 totally agree haha when i had my band i could hit the notes easily but after a few songs it was hard for me what makes me think that if ure not going to be able to reach the notes then make em lower like the guy from bless the fall does.. he sings perfectly live because thats the tone of his voice and is not hard for him to do it
@hunterthemanvox Yeah their songs sound very similar. But there's still some that stand out from the others. i used to HATE the new Emarosa because of the huge change in sound, but i gave it a chance, granted i only like 2 of the songs on their new album, i decided to give credit to how truly talented Jonny Craig is.
@Dudley3311 Yes actually, you can. Periphery's vocalist was good on the Thrash and Burn Tour this year and he was spot on about 90% of the time. I watched videos of them live and he sounded horrible in them, but after seeing them live and hearing it for myself, I no longer use that method of prediction.
@65thekid I see stars vocalist is amazing live. And the broadway dude is good live sometimes. I think he just has a lot of off nights because I've seen live performances on here where he does perfect.
