I noticed too, but I can understand. This was one of the last songs in the set, and every time I sing this, I blow my voice out in that part... he was already worn out. He was probably worried he'd cause some damage.
i think it's ok if a band sounds different live or if the singer approaches the vocals in another way. the live experience is exactly that, live and how the musicians feel at that moment. this is where the magic happens. some bands sink and some sore like mustard but in the end it's about enjoying what you do and each other but then again what do i know, i couldn't even keep a job as a janitor, lol.
they pry did a actual show the night before this so his voice is strained...or theres a monitor problem...all the times ive seen them live hes done great...this is the only show ive seen that he doesnt sound too good, but still is holding it together
@TheEthanAndKyleShow well I'm a singer and I can sing few Chiodos songs. But eh, everybody has to understand: its not that Craig voice is computered in studio. Its just that when singers record their song they rarely sing it in only one shot. so they can rest enough to reach HIGH notes whenever theyre ready, and so they sound perfect every time. In a LIVE show, well haha its SOOO not possible. so we have to take it how it comes. and If your voice is not warmed up enough, thats gonna be hard.
the songs they played in this concert, like the way he sings them here, it isnt the same as in the recorded versions if youve heard any of them and i doubt they would rerecord 2 albums just for this concert cause incase you didnt know recording takes a lot of work it could take hours just for one song so it really doesnt make sense to say hes lip singing just saying
@TheEthanAndKyleShow You know. I couldn't agree more. Because some of those notes are INSANELY hard to hit. I sing tenor in my choir, and make fun of some girls because I can sing higher than them. and I have trouble with some of his notes. and I have proof. I did a cover of Intensity in Ten Cities.
@Bobbey3 oh deffinately. I agree with that 100% xD i used to be the lead vocalist in a band, and even just trying to get by a practice without warming up was hell xD but ive been lately singing a lot of broadway (well, trying, lol) and i need a hugeeee warm up to be able to hit some of those notes. so on craigs part, it's pretty fly that he can sing and hit all the notes he can.
@corrolations yeah dude, it's hard as hell hitting most the notes he does. and people argue that in recordings he does like triple takes to hit them. Well, yeah? Obviously? What recording artist doesn't take at LEAST 3 or 4 takes to get it dead-on? Craig is an amazing vocalist. 'nough said. And anyone who can hit the higher notes like he can, probably is too.
yea i know but he doesnt loose that fast compared to alot of other shows theyve played i mean yea i knew he sang plenty of other songs before this but still
Why is everyone hating? Maybe caz one person said he sucked so another person said that so everyone just followed?? Come one, it sounds almost just like the actual recorded song, one part, I forgot which, did kinda suck but just that ONE part
i mean does anybody recognize that craigs voice is just about totally blown out at this part of the show??? i mean im not baggin but he barely hit the illumination note in teeth the size, totally in love with the band but i just happened to recognize this
@TheEthanAndKyleShow Falsetto is actually easier than using chest voice. and there's no falsetto in that song... and it kinda disapoints me that the original vocal track is playing at 6:00 but Craig is stille an amazing singer
@ANeonGenesis Even though you named my 2 of my favourite artists of all time (A.G. and Claudio) I disagree, I don't think he sounds bad here. There's a lot of flat notes if you hear Anthony live. It could also just be a bad day, or the fact that it's late in the set.
@Bobbey3 i don't know how a high a voice you have (lol im only joking) but for me, falsetto is VERY difficult. and although falsetto is barely used in this song, it still is. and even so, craigs voice is not high when hes talking. its not necessarily deep, but still, for a guy with a normal voice to be able to hit the notes that craig can, is in my opinion, amazing vocal ability.
@timmunn1 I could sing a 5 song set just fine, but it's harder to play heavier stuff as in hardcore music, or screamo. There aren't very many people to who could play more than a 5 song set. Not to mention, our songs are a good 5-6 minutes long, each. But I get what you're saying. There is also a right way to scream. Overall though, Craig is one of the best out there, whether you disagree or not. Craig Owens maybe uses it in recordings, but in this video he has distortion on the mic. That's all.
okay well would you rather re-record this bit or fail miserably during the set? they do it to stay safe and i do doubt they re record. as you said, re recording is a lot of work. they probably just took the vocals track and added a little effect thingy to it
overall it was pretty good. but on some parts it was pretty bad. but this is the 8th song so i completely understand i couldn't keep my voice for that long so props to him. the begining was good tho.
@timmunn1 Auto Tune, no. Craig Owens does not use auto tune. And this of it. This is like a 12 song set. I want to see you do a 12 song set. If you're going to make fun of a musician, you better be a musician. I myself could never play a twelve song set, none the less a 5 song set. Especially being in a heavier band. Your voice eventually dies out from all of the effort. Use correct grammar by the way. It's not "he absolutely does use auto tuner..." it's, He absolutely does use auto tune.*
no. let's be realistic first off, he doesn't use effect petals for vocals.. and even if he did it wasn't a wah second of all there aren't even any petals behind him, so don't make up an excuse because it's dissapointing. and third, it's obvious from evidence on how he's singing in this show that there's no way he could've reached these notes perfectly - he turned around so the audience wouldn't see his lypsincing. don't get my wrong, i love chiodos, but just admit it: he's lipsyncing.
@timmunn1 so youre telling me you can sing 100 percent perfect 100 percent of the time? bullshit. fallseto is amazingly difficult. and craig is amazing at it. he doesnt need a compter to hit them, but doing show after show takes a toll on your voice.
mmm i'm not too sure about this: we can easily see that he just avoid the highest notes, and sometimes try to reach some but he can't, . it's not a case of feeling the obligation of yelling harder. anyway those songs are too dificult to remake absolutely as on the record.... and when you have a bunch of songs to sing, you save your (throat power), you dont give it all on only 1 song...thats what i think... Craig has an amazing voice!
@timmunn1 Oh haha. Well, I just joined this band, that's why. Listen to our stuff though bro! It's not too bad, the recording quality just sucked. myspace(dot)com/sweetsmellofrain
The signing was flat in this performance, and if I had the gear to do a cover and put it up, I would be pleased to show Craig how to sing his own song...HA...
@ANeonGenesis My favorite band is Coheed and Cambria (without a shadow of a doubt) and I can honestly say that Claudio is an amazing singer BUT does not belt it out for the entire song, as is Craig Owens' technique. Through all that, I've heard Claudio Sanchez fuck way up QUITE a bit, live AND on videos. Jag relies on a different part of his voice than Craig. (P.S. Coheed and Cambria tuned down because Claudio can't sing as high as he used to. Your point is mute, dude.)
yeaahthat sucks. as a amateur singer myself, i know that those note are fuckin hard to reach, and if youre not warmed enough it just scrap your throat :S but he's good!
Out of tune, in tune.. Who cares. Nothing was ever in tune. It was made by people who thought it should be like this or that way. Ignorant people that thought like they owned the world. Chiodos is amazing, Craig is amazing. Any one who sing is amazing, it takes guts.
K he could be but also that voice was totally computerized. But I would probably like to see him try and sing it rather then put the mic down completely...
So much hate in these comments lol. The comments must have been from the time when people thought he was a douche. His singing is ON POINT here
I noticed too, but I can understand. This was one of the last songs in the set, and every time I sing this, I blow my voice out in that part... he was already worn out. He was probably worried he'd cause some damage.
@ANeonGenesis i think Craig is fantastic. And im going to continue to listen to HIS songs, even if theyre not with Chiodos.
awesome band
i think it's ok if a band sounds different live or if the singer approaches the vocals in another way. the live experience is exactly that, live and how the musicians feel at that moment. this is where the magic happens. some bands sink and some sore like mustard but in the end it's about enjoying what you do and each other but then again what do i know, i couldn't even keep a job as a janitor, lol.
@DavidAids your right, well spotted, and i'm fairly sure there is a huge sound contrast in that section and the one after
they pry did a actual show the night before this so his voice is strained...or theres a monitor problem...all the times ive seen them live hes done great...this is the only show ive seen that he doesnt sound too good, but still is holding it together
@TheEthanAndKyleShow

In a LIVE show, well haha its SOOO not possible. so we have to take it how it comes. and If your voice is not warmed up enough, thats gonna be hard.
he might be here but he does use pedals for that in the studio
Craig is a beast! if i had to sing for that long i would need a few bottles of CLEAR VOICE
"yeah thanks for saying that Pat...thats kinda fucked!"
lawl
@rockbandsmaster idk but if he is i need him right now!
deep throating the mic is his favorite thing to do lmao craigs amazing
a shidow thit is fooleen over thees tan???? hahahaa i love chiodos :)
he isnt lip syncing he has like 2 evvects pedals and one is basically a wah pedal for vocals so he is working pedals by hand dip sh......
the songs they played in this concert, like the way he sings them here, it isnt the same as in the recorded versions if youve heard any of them and i doubt they would rerecord 2 albums just for this concert cause incase you didnt know recording takes a lot of work it could take hours just for one song so it really doesnt make sense to say hes lip singing
just saying
@TheEthanAndKyleShow You know. I couldn't agree more. Because some of those notes are INSANELY hard to hit. I sing tenor in my choir, and make fun of some girls because I can sing higher than them. and I have trouble with some of his notes. and I have proof. I did a cover of Intensity in Ten Cities.
2018, anyone?
@Bobbey3 oh deffinately.
I agree with that 100% xD
i used to be the lead vocalist in a band,
and even just trying to get by a practice without warming up was hell xD
but ive been lately singing a lot of broadway (well, trying, lol)
and i need a hugeeee warm up to be able to hit some of those notes.
so on craigs part, it's pretty fly that he can sing and hit all the notes he can.
there was an effect* over the lip syncing, that is true. but it was lip syncing
badass acapella at the beginning.
@DavidAids alll they did was play the vocals from the studio track at that section thats why it didnt sound like him live.
@corrolations yeah dude, it's hard as hell hitting most the notes he does.
and people argue that in recordings he does like triple takes to hit them.
Well, yeah? Obviously? What recording artist doesn't take at LEAST 3 or 4 takes to get it dead-on?

and there's no falsetto in that song...
and it kinda disapoints me that the original vocal track is playing at 6:00
but Craig is stille an amazing singer
i agree to the one part for the lip singing everyone does it. itso no big deal and its just obvious
Where were those questions from? Twitter? Myspace comments?
@ANeonGenesis Even though you named my 2 of my favourite artists of all time (A.G. and Claudio) I disagree, I don't think he sounds bad here. There's a lot of flat notes if you hear Anthony live. It could also just be a bad day, or the fact that it's late in the set.

@KSE828 yea, people have their opinions.

@ANeonGenesis why dont you put up a cover on how well you can sing?
okay well would you rather re-record this bit or fail miserably during the set? they do it to stay safe
and i do doubt they re record. as you said, re recording is a lot of work. they probably just took the vocals track and added a little effect thingy to it
@AbolishAnthony Thank* my bad :)
overall it was pretty good. but on some parts it was pretty bad.
but this is the 8th song so i completely understand i couldn't keep my voice for that long so props to him. the begining was good tho.
ouch, this is rough... I'm disappointed.
but craig is my idol no matter what!
ima put a cover up!
@timmunn1 Auto Tune, no. Craig Owens does not use auto tune. And this of it. This is like a 12 song set. I want to see you do a 12 song set.

don't get my wrong, i love chiodos, but just admit it: he's lipsyncing.
My ears just ejeculated
OK when I do i`ll tell ya`. Cool.
there's no way 6:00-6:30 is really Craig. He couldn't hit all of the high notes in Bulls Make Money, how could he do this two songs later?
@slashedaway22 then you're a fucking brilliant vocalist
@timmunn1 so youre telling me you can sing 100 percent perfect 100 percent of the time?
bullshit.
fallseto is amazingly difficult.
and craig is amazing at it.
he doesnt need a compter to hit them, but doing show after show takes a toll on your voice.
mmm i'm not too sure about this: we can easily see that he just avoid the highest notes, and sometimes try to reach some but he can't, . it's not a case of feeling the obligation of yelling harder. anyway those songs are too dificult to remake absolutely as on the record.... and when you have a bunch of songs to sing, you save your (throat power), you dont give it all on only 1 song...thats what i think...
Craig has an amazing voice!
ehh effects is a better word for it because it's all done on the computer
why? he's really good... how can you hate on derek like that?
mmmmm... not a very good performance by craig i think
but i adore his voice
did boys like girls really kill a dog for four bucks? it's hard to believe... they're such good guys...
The guy below is just welllll... Really gay>>>>>
@timmunn1 Oh haha. Well, I just joined this band, that's why. Listen to our stuff though bro! It's not too bad, the recording quality just sucked. myspace(dot)com/sweetsmellofrain
sry but they should have played the acoustic version
@ANeonGenesis 115 people think otherwise.
@atticus2u Fair enough. I still respectfully disagree, though.
@DavidAids Yeh, definately not him, well spotted!
why?
@DavidAids its not, they played the track over it, i personally think that craig's performance was horrible right here.
hes tired
The signing was flat in this performance, and if I had the gear to do a cover and put it up, I would be pleased to show Craig how to sing his own song...HA...
hes tired.
lol Craig said he loves bacon n cheese but he says he's a vegetarian? :P weird
yup..yup
i noticed too
kinda dissapointing
@ANeonGenesis My favorite band is Coheed and Cambria (without a shadow of a doubt) and I can honestly say that Claudio is an amazing singer BUT does not belt it out for the entire song, as is Craig Owens' technique. Through all that, I've heard Claudio Sanchez fuck way up QUITE a bit, live AND on videos. Jag relies on a different part of his voice than Craig. (P.S.

5:57 - 6:29 craig owens is lip syncing!!
gayy..
4 people's speakers dont work
ну вот какого хера он не дотягивает до высоких? профи ж вроде
lmao the one part he pertended to sing :P
@DannyHeroeCore sorry that wasn't funny
lol he kinda Fd up some parts of the song.i could sing better than that on some points.anyways i like this song:)
they...are all...drunk
It's just distortion.
yeaahthat sucks. as a amateur singer myself, i know that those note are fuckin hard to reach, and if youre not warmed enough it just scrap your throat :S
but he's good!
Out of tune, in tune.. Who cares. Nothing was ever in tune. It was made by people who thought it should be like this or that way. Ignorant people that thought like they owned the world. Chiodos is amazing, Craig is amazing. Any one who sing is amazing, it takes guts.
K he could be but also that voice was totally computerized. But I would probably like to see him try and sing it rather then put the mic down completely...
@canable95 jonny craig is better
his voice sounds tired
dude he can't sing anymore :(
Great god, he sounds horrible. lol
lol he's actually out of tune xDDDDDDD
eww
@timmunn1 well you clearly have no knowledge of music.
He just is a very sloppy live performer :P
