THIS CAN'T BE REAL?! DAYSEEKER Neon Grave LIVE REACTION and BREAKDOWN 

Rory sounds exactly like this live, the man has been in the game for over a decade it's real talent.

Saw them live a couple months ago, yes its real. They're incredible live! Front mans name is Rory Rodriguez.

Rory is a fucking unicorn. Incredible vocalist

This song is for his Father, every time he sings it he’s with his Father again. It’s beautiful, it’s real and it’s heartfelt. This song means a lot to Rory, so he’s always going to deliver the spirit of his Dad (who was a singer) to the people he’s performing to.

I’ve made it a point to see them live at least once a year; as of April this year, I’ve seen them 4 times and they truly just get better and better each time. It blows my mind.

100% real. I’ve seen them twice, once as a headliner and once as direct support and he’s amazing. Seeing them again in 8 days. Pretty excited

It's literally a priviledge to be alive during dayseeker's reign

I love how you praise Rory, like we all do lmao but you also took the light to the guitarist also. It’s pretty cool for others to notice how incredibly talented each of them really is. Great band

This video randomly popped up on my feed and definitely felt good about it instantly. I’ve known Rory for some time now. I got my start photographing music back when Dayseeker first started and even back then I got chills photographing them all when they played all our local venues here in Orange County, CA. Got to tour extensively and every time I saw them back home I knew they’d crush it every single time as compared to some bands I saw on the road lol. I stepped out of the music photography world a couple years back & I’m so glad they have been so much attention these last few years and have gotten the recognition they deserve and more.

I've seen him live several times and rory doesn't miss. They are sooooo underrated.

Dayseeker's older stuff is incredible too! Was so rad getting to watch these dudes tear up the local scene in Southern California 10+ years ago.

Most (if not all) bands have background tracks. These guys understand that most people are automatically comparing their live performance with the recorded song, so making it sound as close as possible to the recorded song. They are incredible. Rory is insanely talented and can belt it out AND be pitch perfect.

Rorys voice is definitely at the very top! ❤

never heard someone so good live and on album man, this is the real deal

Rory is currently my most favorite vocalist......I get to see him in October 🥹

I saw this and instantly went thru the whole discography 😂😂 what a fucking voice

I’ve seen them live. They are freaking incredible live. The lead singers voice is just so amazing.

They are insane live and sound just like the studio.

It’s like, jarring how great his voice is, and then you also have these amazing and powerful lyrics. Dayseeker is so extremely underrated! Saw them live last month and it was unreal

The backup vocalist is just as good!!

I've seen Dayseeker live 3x. They're amazing live.

I SEE THEM NEXT MONTH AND I AM SO SO EXCITED

There are effects on his voice live for sure, but this guy is an absolutely incredible singer. He sounds this way live too. Next level

This song helped me through the death of my father from cancer one of the darkest times I’ve lived through I’m forever grateful for this band and this song

Never seen them. Honestly didn't even know who they were until I seen someone review their WITHOUT ME song and I was blown away by how good he was and then I saw this video ans I was just sold. This dude has a wildly talented range of vocals and for him to keep that tone and composure live is phenomenal. I only so far have enjoyed 3 or 4 songs. Sleep Talk, without me, neon grave.

I've heard him acoustically as well. He preformed live and acoustic before a show I saw and did 3 songs. It was epic!

I put this version on all the time, who ever mixed this needs an award, everything sounds incredible

Iv seen rory live and he sounds exactly the same live as he does in his recordings. I saw him at toads place in CT last year. Best concert ever in my life nothing with ever compare to him

Goosebumps man, freakin goosebumps

the best out of southern CA.

Saw them a couple months ago in Cleveland and i prefer how they sound live over recorded, they're so damn good.

Everyone uses backing tracks. We go to concerts to be entertained. And that’s what they do.

7:13 That's exactly what I was thinking That guitarist sings too well too ♥

They are incredible live!!!!!! Best band ive ever seen live, including Ac/Dc

Every band plays with a track. You don’t need to question that ever

Saw him live last year and we loved his voice instantly!!!!!!

Absolutely!! Seen them twice live, going to be for a 3rd time in October. His vocals are insane 🔥 This band is great on Spotify but fucking amazing in person, they go hard 🤘🏻

Such a beautiful singer omg 💖 I love this band

Seen them play live in Melbourne! And they are amazing in person 🙌🏻

Pads are on the Backtracks forsure and some of the processed vocals are on there as well.

I saw these guys on Sunday and let me tell you. They sound great if not better live. It blew my mind

I’ve seen them live they are incredible.

Perfect live band. Look forward to seeing them again.

Wow just incredible

Dayseeker is SO fucking good.

some of the most talented dudes i have ever met.

Bro had his question answered 3 seconds into the video , love that

hopefully seeing them live april 25th, so hyped

I would Love!! ABSOLUTELY LOVE! To see Rory and the Shayley Bourget collab!

Found out about them recently because I saw them open for staind and seether and they were insanely good! I absolutely love the stuff they put out on the acoustic album and this album. Probably some of the sickest sounds I've heard from a band in a long time. I was blown away hearing them live. The whole show was awesome between them and seether and staind. The other band was gay from the uk, I forgot their name but terrible and didn't fit in with the line up at all. Dayseeker should've been more of a headliner for that show.

Ever since the first time I saw them at a 10 person local show over 10 years ago Rory was always on top with his vocals so insane

First off Rory is an insane vocalist so nothing can take away from that. I've seen them live numerous times and they are incredible live. I would also note in response to your incredulity ;) as a trained audio engineer who has worked both in studio and live vocationally much of the same processing we do in the studio happens in a live setting as well. Most touring rigs and higher end venues have multiple Waves Soundgrids allowing their plugins to be used live. That includes their version of autotune which most performers are using now, which while it doesn't fix a bad vocalist, it can enhance an already good vocalist. They are also likely using a similar if not the same vocal chain for his vocal live. All these things play into the live performance. A great vocalist, enhanced with live autotune to nudge the vocal into place and then a great signal chain.

Rory is so talented as well as the rest of the band

Recently seen them a week or so ago. Can confirm they are this good if not better live

In reply to you wondering about the extra drums, keys, vocals… they’ll be playing along to a pre recorded backing track on a click track. Oh you just worked that out as I wrote this 😂

Have to do Bad Omens live too. Noah is very impressive

Rory is absolutely amazing! but I am definitely impressed by the backup guitarist just as much!

Man, im really glad you’re loving dayseeker trip! But let me try a request i think you will enjoy as much as this: Aviations - Coma. Their still a small band from Boston but they will literally explode with their new album. Its like Dayseeker vocals with Karnivool chords and The Reign of Kindo keys in a prog (and sometimes djent) dynamic. Thats absolutely fantastic and i know this will blow you away. Give it a try!

from what i know of their drummer and live show, he doesn't use pads. the elec drums are just part of the background track. i could totally be wrong tho

Loads of bands play to tracks, sometimes just a click only they can hear in their in-ears whereas others use it to do the bits they can't do live such as synths, additional vocal layers etc but they're still playing live on top of it. It's pretty common.

Your beard trim game is on point brother

They just covered my Immortal and the live recording accoustic is insane and beautiful...hes soo ood...they both ate tbh...check it out...honestly its just so so good

as crazy as it sounds, i like his down on the high notes "lonely EARTH, RETURN, and DOWN" words here in the live than the studio! has more umph to them lol

It’s it a super old song but you need to check out what it means to be defeated by them that vocal performance is what got me into them. As for track yes there’s a laptop beside the drummer. But as far vocal fx he’s using compression, delay and reverb on his vocal none of that will help pitch if anything it’ll make it more apparent live. But yeah dayseeker is probably one of the most talented bands right now. Sleep theory is amazing too.

It’s a synthesizer set up. Yes to fill ambient space giving it a whole other dynamic.

It's legitimately insane. I can't even believe it's real dude. Check out the same session when they did Sleeptalk. BOTH GUITARISTS RUN BACKUP VOCALS AND THEY ARE INSANE. It makes no sense that this band isn't absolutely blasting through the top of the charts.

Dayseeker is the best band out there. Rory is just simply the best.

Devin Townsend is at the top of the food chain of male vocals, and has been for over a decade. This guy is a beast though for sure.

Its real but it is mixed with an EQ Filter, Reverb, Delay, pitch correction and Compression as well as backing tracks. Live recording manipulated. Check out some of there other live video to hear the difference. Different but still excellent...real talent!

Almost too good to be true! Rory makes it look effortless Can't wait to see them next month 🤘🤘

Its a backing track and theyre playing to a metronome in their in ear monotors. Every band does this live.

for some of their heavier stuff, please check out ONE OK ROCK - 3xxxv5 Take Me To The Top LIVE specifically the one with green haired Taka(vocalist)

my guess is 2 or 3 of the guys are good producers, they have their setup pretty well prepared to sound as good as possible live. but also I feel this is playback, 5:27 drummer is hitting China cymbal a couple times and it doesnt sound, sounds like just crash cymbal.. so.. maybe they took all the audio, re-recorded everything, etc etc. or recorded everything there, then heavy mix it, and that's what they released in this broadcast

This is what every artist strives for. Only other i know thats this good live is actually nickelback real talk

“This can’t be real!!” **voice keeps going as he steps from microphone not even a minute in** Yes it’s real. Real dubbed, pitch corrected, and edited with post production. Can vouch though yes he’s an excellent singer live. Might even be using pitch correction live. If you’re gonna be a big music fan man you gotta know stuff like this is re-recorded and produced.

There are 100% tracks on this performance. Keys, horns, 3rd harmonies, electronic drum tracks, and vocal chops. There’s some effects on Rory’s vocals as well but more for texture than correction. He’s simply an incredible musician.

Yes.. its real.

I think every band plays with back tracks!?!!

Check out their live performance of Crooked Soul!

Broo Gino, is a good guitar player, he also ssounds quite good when singing

That says a lot about a band when they sound good live I’ve walked out of concert’s before because they sounded nothing like what they’re soppost to lol

Right? How are these guys not more popular than bands like Sleep Token!

Agree! 100%. He sounds the same live.

he doesn’t lip sync live at dayseeker gigs. however, in this performance he is, you can see where his vocals don’t always lineup. probably octane wanting a pre recorded performance. absolute monster vocalist rory is

Incredible. But yeah, I'd bet my life savings that they at least have some elements tracked (and it's super common these days, for better or worse).

Rory Rodriguez is from another planet.

The only thing that ever drove me crazy about this video is how out of sync the audio and video are, but if you pay close enough attention you can tell how awesome they all are.

You can clearly see the drummer hitting something where you’re talking about. I see his arm moving.

Tracks are required for live performances to deliver to the public a proper show.

what's happening at 2:17? lip syncing malfunction?

To think these guys were gonna call it quits at one point, maaaaaan....

his vocals could also be auto-tuned live, just saying. Lots of people don't know that's a thing

lol nothing about this performance is live Still great band This is

i mean, its live but there are a lot of effects.

Just seems like a ton of delay/reverb/compression on vocals to me.

My 17 emo self is on the other line, using a Motorola razr trying to record the chorus for my ringtone

It’s honestly annoying how good Rory’s voice is.

Bro, if we’re focusing pretty heavily on the vocal don’t block his face for most of the video

As good if not better than Chester Bennington!

this is not live. theyre great but this sound is engineered
