How is it that I'm only just hearing Conversation with a Rockstar for the first time now? Amazing song, and I can't believe how good Ariel is at singing! Incredible!
I have to agree...i caught them in Feb. at the Lebanon, OH show...i sat through 4 other bands i had never even heard of or cared for to wait for Icon...and they did not disappoint! Got to hang with Ariel for a bit to...she is a total sweetheart!
"If your not happy with what's going on with your life... it's about taking responsibility for your life". PERFECTLY PUT!!! STOP POINTING THE FINGER AND START STANDING UP!!!
Most of her other live concert material is very spot on. However she had a huge few past weeks and she was coming down with a cold. (--According to other prior youtube commenters--)
Live bands will never sound like they did on the CD because in the studio they would have done sections of the song over and over again to get something ideal, then layer it over other parts.
seems like she is having a little bit of a stamina problem, but all newish singers go through the same thing :) all in all she still does a great job and she will only improve with time!
She used auto-tune on the record... You can also shape the vocals a bit with that program. Along with compression and reverb, her voice will sound alot better on the record. I seen them a few times last year, and she sounded really good. Her voice is probably pretty tore up from the road in this video.
Actually, Ariel says at the end of the show (before the last song), that she was sick, but during the concert it got better. I think that's a good reason not to have a perfect voice
sounds more like her voice is going out from all the singing and she's forcing it. once your voice starts going out the higher notes get harder to hit and you kinda tend to squeak or yell to make it come out.
th-cam.com/video/PxkmyK3y2mw/w-d-xo.html Apart from the dreadful audience (due to them probably opening up for more familiar bands). This is a really good performance.
Well, not all of their stuff is about God. I know what you mean, as I am a fan of TFK, Skillet and Red. But they never mention God in any of their songs, and though they may be talking to him, some times it just sounds like their talking to their girlfriend, and they shouldn't be afraid to use God's name since they are Christian. And secular means the world so they shouldn't even want to go that route.

I wish they did Only A Memory

Even though they don't sound as good live compared to the recored album songs, I still want to go to one of their concerts.

AMAZING CD!!! Just bought it a few days ago! :)
32:28 The drummer is KILLING...YES!
this band is great hope you come to Colombia¡¡¡¡
Checked everywhere, no concert in 2013.
They are a warm up band for amaranthe at a concert in 2014 though.
Most of her other live concert material is very spot on. However she had a huge few past weeks and she was coming down with a cold. (--According to other prior youtube commenters--)
THEIR songs THEIR SONGS GOD.
They are a BAND.
SHE- ARIEL, IS NOT ICON FOR HIRE.
She is the SINGER of the GROUP.
NOT the GROUP herself.
was erbij was echt geweldig
BONK! (9:18)
Love this band! Icon for Hire should do a show in Huntsville.....
I see a mini mosh pit there. XD
mmm yeah, i cant wait for the new album ^^
Icon For Hire in Brazil please!!!!

I'm too short. I'm way too short. You can't even see my head when Shawn tousles my heart around 34:37 :D
mm yeah true, she is still awesome, but i hope there will be the day where she gives it her best and actually sound exactly the same from the album ^^
seems like she is having a little bit of a stamina problem, but all newish singers go through the same thing :) all in all she still does a great job and she will only improve with time!

Eine Geile, Hammer Band
love the stick toss at about 35:20
I love that it has great quality, but man her mic must have been WAY low. I can barely hear her.
Best drummer east!
Well... Congrats, and you lucky :P
Drum Solo 26:30
epic!
cool our party hats
epic x
I love this band more than I should XD
Actually, Ariel says at the end of the show (before the last song), that she was sick, but during the concert it got better. I think that's a good reason not to have a perfect voice
Mom, i falled in love, her name is Ariel...
Obviously the register quality is bad, and in studio they can modify the voice :) (sorry for the bad english im french ^^")
Thumps up for epic guitar flip at 34:32
6:25 so cool!
que guitarra baixa '-' quase não ouvi no começo... u.u fu fuu
recording in studio is different than concert.
Whyd they do Get Well twice?
Sorry for the Camera Position.
also take in consideration, she dont get a breather when you are live like you would if recording
Around 9:17, maybe 9:20... Shawn, y u run into Ariel? Well, they ran into each other actually...
i thought i heard a grall at 4:09? i know the lead singer was sick but they all normal have more energy?
was it just me or was the audio from the mic failing every 5-10 seconds or so???
i have his drumstick!!!
i mean her voice sounds lower than the music but she's pretty good, she's amazing
Actually almost all bands does sounds a lot closer to the studio version than this, some even better.
But she's improving.... at least sounds like it.
What's up with her voice? Sounds like she is struggling a little. I still love Ariel though.
9:18 ahahAHHhahAHHAHAHA
Sounds awesome just different from the actual song
sounds more like her voice is going out from all the singing and she's forcing it. once your voice starts going out the higher notes get harder to hit and you kinda tend to squeak or yell to make it come out.
is her key off live? Doesn't sound like the cd much...
She doesnt sound the same in comparison to her album songs at all D:
her voice is very different live ...
but i love you Ariel
she was sick that night
6:27 thats new.... but awesome
They dont need autotune to make them sound good..
Sadly that it wasnt so good mixed i think, but amazing konzert :)
37:10 lol
oh my god i love this band but i am learning to hate their sound guy. its never balanced!!! but they still sound so freakin good!

Apart from the dreadful audience (due to them probably opening up for more familiar bands). This is a really good performance.
haha okay xD
lol who ever does
does it occur to you that she is probably exhausted from bouncing all over the stage... just saying...
Probably vocal damage from abusing her voice
Well, not all of their stuff is about God. I know what you mean, as I am a fan of TFK, Skillet and Red.

Whoever did the live mixing for this concert sucked. I'm sure it would've been better if you could hear all of it at a good level.
I like TFK, but their music isn't usually very God-centered.
She's so bad live:/
long way to match TFK live...this is very mediocre.
