People who had never seen parx before was probably thinking 'what the shit is going on, why does the lead singer keep talking?' But this is just standard for them tbh

[@tye2326]

Kate Axson that was exactly what was going through my mind haha

[@OhthatsMarisol]

is parx short for their band name? im new to the fandom lmao

[@onlyangel6299]

Yeah parx is short for waterparks :)

[@SamJLance]

I mean it's hardly unique to this band though, is it? Loads of acts do it. Don't get me wrong, Waterparks have lots going for them, but talking during songs isn't that special.

[@summerwu6985]

Sam J Lance That's true but not many say "follow me on twitter" in the middle of a song 😆

i saw them on their headliner , they're awesome live and interact with the audience sooo much !!

I feel bad because this wasn't their best performance but I've seen them live 3 times and I'm going back to see the two more times the summer. They're amazing.

[@beomgyu1311]

For some people asking awsten can sing AMAZING live.I went to a waterparks concert and it was amazing.He showed his talent and his ability to hold a note. It seemed like he was nervous here so he didn't perform that well but trust me he is a very talented vocalist.

[@nolanb9466]

I find it very opposing to the whole system of these pop, alt, and rock bands playing live and having a dead audience. just make the whole thing into a real concert, warped tour style. Bet tho, more money, more people, more sales, and better recognition if they'd do this the right way.

I have Awsten's laugh in the beginning as my notification sound and thought I got a text or something😂

[@mayaalvarez5832]

Telling people to follow his Twitter That's my boy!

[@Maria-pi3cd]

I'm so pissed out how shitty the sound quality I know it was live and the sound tech probably had a lot of work and they tried their best but, the guitar kind of drowns out awstens voice and you can tell how hard he's trying to be louder then the guitar. So if your not familiar with waterparks please don't judge them based on this performance. I have seen them live twice and I can assure you they sound amazing

[@dstgdedrtyut3917]

Awsten chooses not to drink and I don't think Otto does either- probably just adrenaline and nerves from performing there

[@luzelenaaaw]

Jalex is real Geoff is actually the only one that drinks.

[@jellybean8767]

Jalex is real Awsten and Otto don't drink and Geoff didn't drink tonight either. it's just adrenaline and them being their own, goofy selves

[@pmolinariii2142]

Just to clear some things up I've seen in the comments, Awsten was not drunk. People claim he was because of the way he was acting on stage, a couple of voice cracks here and there, and that "he can't hold a note correctly". First of all, Awsten chooses not to drink. He said he has never had a single drink in his life thus far. The commentary in between verses that you see in this video is just how he acts on stage. Awsten has such a bubbly personality and that's just how he expresses himself. As for the voice cracks, you can tell Awsten was beyond nervous. He couldn't help it. Awsten actually has great vocal range and true talent. :))
