I understand you can't sound like 2002-2008 anymore. Really, I do get that. But this was just not it guys. Adam is doing some strange vibrato with his vocals and is taking way too many liberties with his line delivery and annunciation. This sounds like a completely different band. John's backups sound so lifeless too. With 4/5 people who actually recorded this song still in the band, there's no excuse for this. :/
Saw them live like 2 weeks ago and they’re still doing the same thing smh. It doesn’t sound good in my opinion, Adams voices sounds so much different and not to my liking. Still good to see them live but watching them in their early years would have been 1000x better
@@Fullcollapse1 i agree 100 % with you. I watched a video of fred playing a mini taking back sunday set with Eddie in a color fred show in January. Completely different delivery, he is sounding great.
Who is the guitarist replacing Eddie? I know they're a 4 piece now with Adam, John, Shaun, and Mark. Do they just have a hired 2nd guitarist now for tours?
Yeah his name is Nathan Cogan.. he played with TBS when Eddie was still in the band... He used to stand behind John sorta next to Mark..he's really good and honestly TBS should just make him a part of the band "Like Officially" lol not just a touring guitar player. He was literally the ONLY one who played with any energy on that song. Which really is a shame because (I'm sure you know) every time they play this song the crowd and TBS as well would go fcking crazy..
I'm sure after playing this song for 20 yrs night after night after night.. it could get stale to play. But damn at least show a little bit of interest. Lol
sounds nothing like the original anymore :( sounds like a cover.. Still a good cover, but it doesnt have the same impact as the high pitch screaming as the old days
I hear you dude. The energy ain't there anymore. Check this old performance out if you haven't seen it already. The best live version of Cute Without the E for me: th-cam.com/video/sPTa1JMcSHU/w-d-xo.html
@@tigresalas3574 Thats a weak excuse. I'm 35 and still go in the pit at shows, work full time and mountain bike on my free time. Its about having it in you the physical doesn't matter.
That and the guitar tones sound like shit. It sounds like if a country rock bands high jacked and did a cover. Fred still sounds like he did covering the songs.
To me it seems like he is just not enjoying it, becuase of Adam's lack of energy. I saw footage of them back in 2002 or something and John and Adam were really great together. But now, that Adam is just doing I don't even know what, it seems like he can't really get into it
I never knew Dave Grohl joined Taking Back Sunday!
🤣
No
Awesome video!!
Love this band, man. Love em
Dude... i Loved it.... Nolan Killed it !!!
damn ! los años si pasaron encima !
This is a cover band... right?
sounds like it... sadly

Exactly!!! he's worse than Buddy from Senses fail now but at least you can hear Buddy finish the song.
Demn I missed this concert
the rad brad
No passion, this band needs fred.
Yup Nolan just sounds so flat. I can't even tell he's there. Freds playing and singing definitely carried the band and Matt Rubano on bass.

this was really bad
Yeah the fred era was good but no way he's a better fit than John Nolan. Not close. Tell all your friends was and still is their best album.
Fred’s channel is amazing!!!
W A S H E D
N O P E ! Legends ! Nice try tho . And what a weirdo to come and comment something like that. Like go get a life . You ain’t got to listen lol
@@TooChillery one of my favorite bands oat but this is awful bro
This band is missing the fire. Fred.

Yeah I’m sure they’d prefer not to play the old songs they wrote when they were 20 hahah. But yes I wish they’d be a little more into it
@@danzanubush4186 Yeah but this song is fire and is one of the bands best songs. So not sure why no energy lol.
between two ferns
The singer needs to do some jumping jacks or push ups before going on stage, he’s got the energy (and figure) of someone doing the casino circuit
Chill y’all , they been touring and rocking for over 20 years now lol
kings of leon shouldnt sing this.... lol. where the fuck has the passion gone :S

Well, they're old. That song was made when he was 18 years old.

@@tigresalas3574 not an excuse to play a song in a soulless way.
They all seem like they've just slowed down alot cant keep up with the music
they feel so shame about their own songs now 20 years later, not emo kids anymore
What time they go on stage?
About 20 years too late...
Sounds like Adam isn't even trying.....not like they used to be with Fred for sure
It seem like he having fun. Same with the rest of the band members.
@@tigresalas3574 they could be having fun but it sounds careless. No effort
@@focusppl8426 true
This was hard to watch
Singer seems loaded
Sheez, these guys are so boring live now. I saw them about 5 years ago and the show was way more exciting.
Damn, they have lost their passion and style. They sound like strokes now. It's kinda sad
Don’t insult The Strokes like that lmaoo
@@chloeonestrogen Strokes lost passion but still sound perfect live lol.
Lmao John is such a disappointment doing his own songs.
all these emo kids kinda regret those songs they made 20 years ago

When Tom delonge is a better live singer than you
