If you’ve tried to sing this yourself, you know how hard it is to make it sound good. Thank god for auto tune, still such great lyrics though. When I listened to this song the first few times, I was going through a rough breakup. I didn’t watch the video until months later but it was funny to me, just like the girl in the video; I found myself having playbacks in my head of good and bad times with my ex. Powerful music.
The Chain Gang of 1974 - Sleepwalking (Remix) I remixed this song as part the competition from Indaba music. I completely redid the instrumentation, added new chords, and made the song sound like an indie rock song that is guitar-based. indaba.us/cp2B
Takes some real balls to on stage and sing a song live, when it was originally heavily edited to sound good. He knew it wasn't going to be what the people wanted to hear, but he gave his best.
What you even mean bro, it's sound very similar, it's just that he's out of breath, singing in a studio is very different from singing while moving around on a stage.
I have chatted with him a lot on Twitter over the years, and sadly he says he hated this entire performance but loves that people did enjoy it. He says it's the most embarrassing of his entire career, but I disagree.
@@kryyptyyk I think it´s the environment. You can have the greatest artists imaginable, once you put them in an environment that has little to do with music it just sucks. Personally I think this performance is quite okay. But the impact would be a lot cooler in a smaller venue in front of music enthusiasts
+Trevor Philips It's a shame really, cause the lyrics are fucking excellent! If he's not much of a singer then he's most definitely a golden lyricist that deserves more attention!
+MrShawno1231 Couldn't agree amore, although after listening to some other perfomances you'll see he doesn't sound like this all the time. He can sing but I agree, this one isn't really all that good.
1- singer was either high as fuck, drunk as fuck, couldnt sing or wtv but it was 2- nice crowd, not fucking moving at all whatsoever 3- could have been much much better than that, love the song
I'll admit this is a pretty bad performance. The Chain Gang of 1974 are generally a lot better live. When I saw them live they were incredible. If you want to hear them do a good performance, listen to their Spotify session. They pretty much nail this song. Guess they just had an off-day.
SO many people don't understand chain gang. He cares more about giving energy and giving a good performance. If the crowd wasn't absolute shit he wouldn't of tried so hard to get some energy going. If u wanted clean vocals there about a million studio versions of this song on youtube.
No bro... he was bad from the getgo before the crowd the even realized it. The main complaint isn't how he looks like a jackass. It is how bad his performance was overall.
I've been utterly in love with this song since I first heard it but... this, in my opinion... is not so good. It seems like the lead singer is trying too hard when he really doesn't need to. This song is beautiful without the overexcitable/pushy performance.
Saw these guys live in Nashville, and they were totally on point. It was a great show and the crowd at that show was lifeless at first. These guys gave good energy that caught on a few songs into the set. This vid is not showing how good his singing was compared to what I saw. Let me also say the lead singer was very humble and pleasant to talk to at the merch table.
Hi Guys Thanks for watching :) My new video channel its here :) ru-vid.com/show-UC-8azJiiuemLu21bZMiBt5Q Please Subscribe :) İn this channel: Playing GTA V PC Gameplay,Online Game play and informations...
I love the Chain Gang, their music is great. However, I feel that this was not their usual quality. The instrumental was great but the singer was off that night. I think maybe he had a cold or something because it sound sort of... congested.
I think it's funny how people are judging this performance over all the other live shows these guys have had. Look at the audience, how the hell could anyone have a stellar performance in front of that lifeless mass of dorks? But yeah, I think he's drunk or something lmao
These comments are almost as bad as the crowd haha. TCGo'74 was great, I'd kill to be there live. Sorry not everybody is autotuned on stage , nor cares more about the music than the money. He himself encouraged to download his new album any way because "fuck record sales"
No conozco a la banda, pero vine porque me gustó esta canción y no por el gta v pero que público para más aburrido, la rola para mi es buenaza y aunque no suene tan bien por dios viejos están en un concierto y es un privilegio tener a ellos cantándote en vivo.
The singer had weed, cocane, crystal meth, heroin, crack, beer, wine, whiskey, scotch, moonshine, and many more drugs and booze within an hour before performing
Ahh the magic of voice synthesizers and studio genius' hard at work in the background. Bands almost always sound worse on stage vs a recording, but that was little more than screaming in to the mic lol.
