In 2006 when I graduated high school I was short on money and had to decide whether to go to prom and gradnight or see Taking Back Sunday in Long Beach. I decided to go see my favorite band TBS and I don't regret it. This night was the best night of my life!
Good call.
Liek urf u crie ury taime
sammytheman2000 lol
John Rivas would've done the same thing, prom was fucking stupid.
Lol prom was the best fucking night of high school. TBS is incredible live, I've seen them a few times but I'd never miss prom for it. So good
This guitar player is one of the best back up singers I've ever had the pleasure of listening to
Same goes to Dallas Green of Alexisonfire
the color fred is his youtube. he's done some covers recently solo of tbs songs
Right. Like Bon Jovi and Richie
It's called Fred. Welcome to TBS.
imagine fred mascherino and dallas green forming a band
That mic be like ⬆️↗️↕️↖️⬅️↙️⤴️⤵️🔃⬇️➡️↘️👋
Guitar player has a phenomenal voice tho.
true that, also nice coheed profile pic
He's the lead singer of the Color Fred
lmao - he was sick and tired of TBS stopped producing music and too busy making food in the kitchen. So he left and made his own band.
Justin Askins yeah. That's what he said in an interview. Same as Finch, Nate Barcalow coz his bandsmates want to make easy cash playing their old songs instead of making new music and moving forward.
Existentialism on prom night is a damn good song by his band...Straylight Run
Microphone swinging level: Ph.D.
Got to agree with that bro
I was like holy shit probably the most impressive thing about the performance
+shaun douglas thresh be like.
Should have seen him swing mics back in the day.
Mics are for singing not swinging...
My sister loved this song. Rip Lauren.
it's crazy how perfect their voices are LIVE.
They sound so bad in present time it’s sad. I’m going to see them live this year in San Francisco. I saw a video of them in Vegas not too long ago and it was terribpe
They doctored it up. You can tell right around 00:15 the audio changes.
its so clearly pitch corrected
@@elmo9293I second that, saw them a few years back when they were touring with Coheed, it sounded so bad it was sad to see. Honestly, it was the vocals that ruined it for me. His voice was so bad it was distracting from the actual music, the guitar bass and drums were great, his voice was not. Then I watched some vids of them live over the last five years or so, and realized he just doesn’t have it anymore. So at the show he swung the mic around the whole time, did the awkward dance moves and gestures and just tried to be like a hype man the whole show. I just wonder, does he actually know how bad he sounds? Has nobody told him it’s a glaring issue? Because performing like that is sad to see and is kind of ruining the legacy of the band to me. It’s strange and sad at the same time.
2:58 is the best "I'm gonna make damn sure"
Love that. Sounds so clean.
Gave me chills
oh my God amaaaaazing amazing. SUPER POWERS
gabrielle gutierrez it’s the bass slide that makes it so sick
@@timaram4880 fuck yeah love how the guitar and bass slides down that whole octave. It's like an explosion.
That slight scream when the backup singer says “in the WoRst way” is PHENOMENAL
Yup like at 2:02 and 3:10 great stuff
I don’t know how people just blend between screaming and singing in the same line like that. I think Spencer from Underoath and Caleb from Beartooth do that style really well too.
@@jimiboi87 It's actually a lot easier up on high notes like that. It's also easier on certain sounds/words. If you're decent singer you can learn this in a day or so.
If you or anyone else wants give it a shot here's a little guide I made:
The name of the game for not hurting yourself and doing this properly is to limit the amount of air passing through your vocal chords so they don't get dry and the muscles in and above your neck don't have to work very much. This is where your diaphragm becomes super important. Your core is controlling the amount of air that leaves your lungs by creating a vacuum that pulls away from your lungs which creates a reverse pressure on them essentially. Everything from your collarbone up should be very relaxed even when you're screaming (at least for the techniques I know). There is a form of of vocal compression that works differently, but that's not what I'm talking about for now. We wanna be relaxed everywhere but our lower torso.
-Stand up for this and take in a deep breath (not to absolute full lung capacity, but like 75 to 90% full) in through your NOSE and feel it along your soft palate at the roof of your mouth as you inhale. I inhale this way rather than through the mouth as it tends to feel better on my vocal chords for some reason, as if less air is getting dragged down past them even if I'm taking in a lot of air quickly. This also helps me to keep my nasal passage clear when singing.
-Clench the absolute shit out of your abs/diaphragm/core (which you should already be doing especially for belting or singing in general, but it's even more important for this.) If you're not sure, look up some tutorials on how to use your diaphragm to scream. It's the same as singing, it just REALLY important here.)
-First try to belt the line "in the worst way" in your regular clean and connected mixed voice (a blend of your chest and headvoice - NOT just a pushed up chest voice). Make sure you commit to it. The car is a good place to practice if you can't do it at home. Don't try to be quiet, but don't force yourself to be loud either. It should be comfortably loud. You're trying to resonate the sound off the roof of your mouth and the area around your nose and upper face.
-You're NOT closing your throat like a drill instructor that's trying to be intimidating but rather try imagining someone is 100 metres away and you're trying to communicate something to them clearly. Resonate! Think of how an an opera singer would sing (don't worry you won't sound like one it's just helps with queue's lmao).
-Unhinge/unclench your jaw. Let it hang lose. Don't worry about the vowel/constant sounds for the moment. You can dial that in after you get the sensation down.
-Make a really dopey, long drawn out sigh sound (Think Homer Simpson). You should feel the air/sound dragging across the roof of your mouth and leaving through your face above your mouth. If there's no distortion in that sound for you, lean into it a little more. "Lean into" doesn't mean compress your neck or face or anything like that for more air. The queue I use to increase volume is to try to hum through your nose, and then try to increase the volume of your hum - that is the sensation you're after when you're singing and screaming. It's a distinctly different sensation than simply trying to use more air with your talking voice.
-Don't compress your throat muscles. Keep your neck and face relaxed. You should almost look bored or like you're not doing much. It should look fairly effortless. You can make yourself look entertaining later for performance sake but you should be able to do all of this with minimal strain/effort from the chest up. This helps make it so you don't need to rely on your face muscles to hit certain notes and vowel sounds. You can do a LOT of vowel and constant sounds without really moving your jaw very much. Once you can do that, you can always add in just a LITTLE bit of that back in for taste but you shouldn't need to rely on it just to hit the notes.
-You want the sound to feel like it's resonating off of the soft palate/roof of your mouth rather than in your throat. Again, this is actually easier on higher notes. I find If you try it with too low of a note it's really easy to accidentally use your throat to create some or all of the distortion.
-This sound we're aiming for is not the sound I'd associate with Chad Kroeger (Nickelback) or Adam Gontier (Three Days Grace). You're not trying to sound badass or intimidating or cool (not talking shit, that's a sick sound too but it's not the same technique as this). What we're aiming for is more like a breakdown. It's desperate. It's vulnerable. It's intense but it comes more from the feeling of falling apart and collapsing rather than the feeling of anger which is important for dialing it in.
-To practice essentially you wanna start out belting a note (With your diaphragm! ANY time there's sound leaving your mouth, your diaphragm should ALWAYS be engaged or you'll hurt your throat!) and then you let everything relax and let your voice fall apart from under you as you continue belting. If done correctly, you'll get the sound your after.
Practice in small bursts of time, and sing cleanly a bit too during your scream practice as well to keep your singing technique grounded while you're learning. Make sure to hydrate at least a little while before you start singing. The water you drink is not what really hydrates your vocal chords, but rather it hydrates your body and than your body hydrates your vocal chords, so simply drinking water WHILE you sing isn't good enough. At the end of your practice session your core should be tired as hell but your face and neck should not. Your throat shouldn't feel dry. You should also still be able to access your full singing range (there should be no dead spots in your falsetto, etc...). If there are notes that won't come out or it sounds like you're losing your voice you might be pushing a bit too much or for too long.
@@TheSpartan_G Thanks for this! I'm going to start trying this way!
Video highlights
2:33 that mic throw
3:00 that emotion
3:06 that mic swing catch
By far one of the coolest vocalist during this era.
Had the crazy Mic swings nailed, Badass style in appearance, and such great stage presence.
Flex Piper he was great, but Bert McCrecken was the best
@@cscheatum I couldn't agree more!
Cameron
Similar career trajectory too where they had two classic albums and then kind of fell off. The Used’s albums got really bad after Artwork though and TBS’s have remained all right but nothing special. Tidal Wave was an uptick, probably their best since Louder Now, but nothing touches the first two.
IMO Corey Taylor had the best stage presence of this era...I mean do I need to say more?
@@Crinbo First 3. Their first album was a pop punk/emo classic. The next two blew up.
I can't stop listening to this song someone help me
need some help just call blink 182
Or Interpol
youre not alone
Oh no it's been a year and I'm still here
I can't stop watching this either
Vocally their best version of this track hands down.
I agree 100%.
Everything is on point here, tempo, guitars, bass/drums, adams voice, Fred’s, everything
I made a comment saying how bad they sounded when I saw them early this year, so many other people said they were bad too at other shows this year. And people keep .saying "they always sounded like that". But they sound INCREDIBLE here!
@@lindseysreptilesAdam’s voice has gone downhill recently. Sucks :(
This version has been edited massively unfortunately :/
This will always be peak TBS to me. Fred, Adam, Eddie, had an on stage chemistry and it was magic.
Totally agreed. Great times. Reminded of childhood
the way he grabs the mic after swinging it around at about 3:05 is just completely badass
It's a neat trick. Have to say though, he does that so frequently in a song it gets a little annoying.
it looks like it's in reverse
Epic
Def rehearsed it 😂 😊
0:56 most badass microphone catch
ASMAN - for real
3:00
3:05
Fuck 3:00 , 0:56 is where it’s at
Kids today will never understand how great the early 2000’s were, I miss my childhood every day 💔
Yes, i'm almost 30 and all i listen to is the old music emo songs, rock songs from early 2000's. Missing the good old days :(
or 1993, right before the internet became a thing. We had so many of the modern conveniences that make life comfortable without all the crap and complication it brought. (he typed on the internet after enjoying a video he watched on said internet).
I started listening to TBS my first year of high school in 2004. Just a perfect combination.
I am actually 12 years old, and im listening to this! My coolest dad reccomends me this type of song and i love it! I actually wanna live in late 90's and feel the nostagic my dad had.
Good music died in 08 along with the economy lol.
The vocals sound absolutely incredible here
3:00 daaaaaaamn!
I agree :D
Magic!
so liiiiiiiiiiiit bruh
soup7 i agree! That "Damnnnnn" was lit af 🔥
Yeah 😍😍
IN THE WORRRSSSST WAAAAY ohh that backup singer is sooo good, matches the notes so well i love it .
10 days into 2020 and im here again
Im here 2020
Oh boy. 2020 has been such a bad year
1 day into 2021, drunk in my car, and here I am
@@poopdoop22 if you sober up and rest before driving again, you're off to a good start. Stay safe. And happy new year
Probably their best live performance
2018 and i’m still listening to this masterpiece
Ryu Torres 2019**
2025
Amen. This is TBS at their absolute prime.
Forever an emo classic
2019 bro where are they now?
The lead singer looks like a different person in everyvideo
Drugs my friend..and alcohol
@@denimobi9825 really?
@@andygomez9807 sadly yes. Adam was an alcoholic..he's clean now..but messed up his voice
@@denimobi9825 yeah i saw them two nights ago and could tell it wasnt as good as it used to be, but it wasnt bad tbh. He seemed like he still had the same presence and energy on stage and it was a great show though.
He's had some personal issues, hope he's doing better now.
Fred is so talented. Such a shame he left.
This is what I needed to hear after listening to them live in 2022
Same lol that i was embarrassed just listening to it
2020, Quarantine who's with me?
Glad I got to see them in 2006. Memories forever.
singing on pitch like that live (especially with this song) really shows how talented they are. 10/10
This kid's the best front man ever!
Joey Woodpieces indubitably
Debateable...
Woah hang on there.lets just calm down a sec....naaa
He's far from a kid 🤷🏼♀️
@@spaghetti5038 whos your favorite frontman
Some of the best work from TBS. Adam and Fred were flawless.
I know that the band members that left TBS did it for there own personal reasons. But for me this will always be what I see when I think of TBS. I look at the performances of them now and it does not even begin to compare to this. Adam, Fred, Eddie, Matt and Mark 4ever.
this is so amazing, i wish i could be there, i'm literally in tears with how good that night was...
I still remember that hot summer night, I listen to TBS songs while bicycling in Beijing. I felt like I have energy to ride from one side of the city to the other side
I never knew that Fred played the leads on guitar and sang in this song. I'm also super impressed with how well both singers hit the notes with accuracy. So good.
Fred is up with on The Color Fred channel. We need to petition Adam to let Fred back, although John and the other guys prob won't like it. This is what TBS always has been.
I listen to a lot of metal now,but this band is one I'll always love.
3:06...i’ve seen Adam do some pretty awesome mic swings, but something about the timing of this one and the swagger behind it is badass
I’ve got it on repeat it’s hypnotising
the best tbs era
100% agreed
It’s 2023 and music like this needs to come back because what’s currently on the radio ain’t it.
I love how he does a mini salsa the whole time he's singing :)
This actually sounds better than the original recording and that's a helluva thing to do as a band
I am so happy that these dudes decided to keep doing something they loved instead of giving up on it.
I'm impressed by their singing, especially back up
Damn this sounds too good to be live. Fuxkin amazing
This is the best TBS lineup imo.
Wished Fred stayed for a couple more albums.
by farrrr. the two albums they have with fred are the best ones on their whole discography.
TBS is my wife's fav band, she has now taken me to see them twice, and i have to admit they are fantastic, saw them at the UEA and yesterday at the slamdunk festival, even though adams mic kept fucking up it was still a brilliant show!
My kids introduced me to Taking Back Sunday years ago and I still listen to them. I always talked about how great The 80's and 90's were musically, but the early 2000's smoke them.
This is the soundtrack of my teenage years and I keep returning to this video every now and then. To remember simpler and happier times of my life.
I remember TBS scheduled to headline taste of chaos in Cardiff but the whole band had to fly back to the states so Adam did the show solo with s guitar in his hand, drums on his back, and a harmonica. Did a handful of TBS songs and a handful of covers. To this day it's still the best live performance I've ever seen
thats amazingggg wtfff
Wow, so nostalgic!
Damn. They're so good
Fred just kills it. This dude is way too talented!
Just fantastic, these were the days.
these guys never stop to amaze me!
best live performance ever
Takes me back to my high school years this one. Life was different back then.
Taking Back Sunday is still one of the best live bands i have ever seen not only do they put on a fantastic show they sound amazing i dont care what anyone else says the times i have seen them they were fantastic including Adam
wish it was still the same today...
Wow truly great live!!!!
This song will never get old!!
that was one of the best performances I've ever seen
I have watched this video time and time again
OOOH HE KILLED THAT MIC PULL
Thank you TBS 🙌❤️
this is absolutely beautiful😢 ❤
Badass freaking live performance!!! 🤟
A very neat live of this song, love it! ;)
This vocal duo is unprecedented to this day. Absolute fire!
no words how awesome it is!
2019 and i still love this song
Always in the mood for this song.
shivers down my spine the whole time. this is my all time favorite band. i have been following them since like 2006 and still havent seen them live. cant wait for warped tour!!
It’s not a phase I’m 31 and still listen to this
How could someone dislike this? It's an incredible performance!
I JUST WANT TO BREAK YOU DOWN SO BADLY! My favorite lyric
Top tier live vocals on this! Like almost impossible this was the raw live feed without editing individual notes to be consistently even on volume, and if not, then freaking mind-blowing with all of the mic swinging, showmanship, and energy.
Fred is the man. Legend
First song I've heard by this band before and I'm literally blown away. This right here is a class act
Best live performance hands down ever
omg, they r SO good live.....i have GOTTA see them in concert!!!
Wow they are amazing live.
Wow...they are incredible live!
new fan i suppose lol
2020 still listening. Maan I miss those day
A crowd with no cell phones. Miss those days.
Wow TBS sounds amazing Live, I wanna see them so bad!
I always felt like they got so lucky with their guitarist. He plays a very solid set every time while singing
The vocals on this Live are crazy clean
almost too clean wouldnt ya say?
@@natewhite8922 give them a break, it was for a dvd so autotuning is fine haha, we know their talents enough
@@alexiluffy216 uhhh, nah, not really.
I can't WAIT to this live for my first time in Las Vegas
Love this song so much
Its live. Quite a few people have mentioned pitch correction, and they're right. But that's all it is. Taking Back Sunday is definitely this good live, and I've even seen them play this song acoustic and damn, were they able to hit those notes. They simply improved something that already sounded really good. Of course it was unnecessary and sits on the brink of being an annoying concept, but its definitely not a bad thing unless your hobbies consist of hating and being an asshole. Great video.
Bullshit. Adam got fat and smokes. His voice doesn't sound good live anymore. I'm sorry but it's the truth.
***** its a different story when you watch them on a good day, which does still happen occasionally, and even more so when you watch them live back when Louder Now came out, which is when this video was produced. Which is before he started getting drunk most shows.
***** I travelled to see them at sonisphere a couple of years ago, after he started really lacking live, which theres no arguing that he does that a lot nowadays, and I'll be damned if that wasn't a great show.
+Fai Rei I've never said they aren't good performers. But Lazzara's voice is shot. He's been smoking and drinking forever , doesn't sing properly, and has gained a lot of weight. His voice has deteriorated. He lasted longer than Cover Reber though. Give him props for that one.
Sadly Adam was never that great live. Okay i have not heard their really early stuff live. But Louder Now is one of my favourite albums of 2000's for sure. And yeah as many lives i've seen I have never really seen him sing effortlessly most of their hit songs. And recently he got worse as he is not even trying that hard to sing these older songs as they are supposed to be sung. He's a good songwriter and performer, but not a great singer for sure. His stuff is not that easy to sing though, but he should have considered that before writing them. Of course on record he sounds superb which is not as easy as most think. Recording has to be perfect and preferably not autotune corrected. So he did a great job on recording, which is why i have a lot of respect for him as an artist. Fred was not very good live also unfortunately. But i think they made their best work when Fred was in the band hands down. So that says a lot also. In general as someone mentioned below if there was no need for auto-tune it would not be here. But it is... and oh man on that chorus it's very heavy... Adam's voice is unrecognisable. =/
Caralho, o que ele faz com o microfone é incrível.
Really great song! One of my all-time fav. :)
i love this!
He's got the moves like Jag... Gerard Way
Gerard moves like him. Taking Back Sunday were a band before MCR were. They also lasted longer as well😂
@@FranciscoGomez-dn8py they're still around right?
@@FranciscoGomez-dn8py I meant taking back Sunday my guy
@@FranciscoGomez-dn8py Taking Back Sunday never broke up you fool
@@QuintinSarren indeed, they are still touring
These were the days... love hearing everyone say "YOu are so cool!" at 1:09
they sound amazing live
Every now and then i find myself coming back to this video and i get this amazing feeling.. So here's to you TBS🍺🍻 cheers
I didn't see anything that makes me thing this was lip synced. It probably was touched up a bit after, but this performance was amazing. Best one I've seen from them. It really felt like they didn't hold back. I hope I get to see them and the used soon in Seattle.
Uno no puede elegir que momento y en que lugar nacer pero por lo menos puedo disfrutar esta joya :')
That was an insanely good performance
The most intense live ever! still coming back here.
