lately i've been getting into Shinedown...it started with the .45 song, then they sealed the deal with their "simple man" cover. anybody else a fan?

Did you see them on Conan? They performed a decent version of .45 (the singer couldn't quite match his recording) except the backup vocals were prerecorded which I thought was kind of weak.
The playing wasn't that hard, somebody else in the band should of been able to sing backup vocals. Oh well. |

yeah, his vocals weren't exactly the same, especially that time he screamed and the mic didn't even pick it up!

He sounds good in the studio recordings, but everything i've heard live (acoustic .45, Fly From the Inside, Simple Man, and Conan) he just overdoes the singing and sounds plain bad.

I was I had caught that Conan broadcast... it would have been interesting to see the difference from studio to live playing. Kinda reminds me of Everlast... not a great singer anyway, but has anyone ever heard a live clip? He sounds like he's singing through a toaster oven.

I went to see Lacuna Coil last week and there were a lot of sequences in use, including backup vocals and backup keyboards... I saw the band Ra last year, same thing. IMO, if you can't do it live, you can't do it period, but those running things seem to have a different philosophy. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
