Omg this brought a smile to my face. I never thought they would play their older stuff live like ever again.

[@Chizuru94]

They did, but not in this way and with screams

[@SunnyAnthem]

You're kidding? this is their best song haha

[@paradigmshift528]

I would understand if he didn't want to perform "The Black" album live since he didn't write or record it but he did write and record every previous album so he should just own it and perform it if people want to hear it.

[@SunnyAnthem]

@@paradigmshift528 wait, are they performind the black album?

[@paradigmshift528]

@@SunnyAnthem I thought so but I may have confused it with Denis performing Danny's songs. I can't seem to find any evidence of Danny performing anything on The Black album

[@PretzelGuy_]

Danny's clean vocals have gotten so much better and they were fantastic to begin with. he also can still scream idk why he doesn't make more metalcore songs.

[@lReaItra]

Because he doesnt like metalcore

[@murdox560]

Because in reality metalcore doesn't sell very well. Arena rock and metal does. Those styles are also less likely to give you a vocal injury when you sing them.

[@Lune96Official]

Eventually you need to evolve and not write the same type of music. It can get stale and not everyone’s gonna find it interesting.

For those wondering why Danny doesnt do more music like this in an interview he had mentioned how he doesnt really enjoy this music and he has also stated this while live streaming on twitch. This was what i can only see as a labor of love for the fans :) Danny takes better care of his voice now and the results do show. Talented guys doing amazing work regardless. What a wonderful performance this one.

Maybe I’m just nostalgic but I’d love a remastered version of stand up and scream beefed up with all the years they’ve had to learn and grow. It being even heavier would be a plus haha so glad they still out there playing these songs though

Extremely impressed how great Danny sounds on this. Much respect!

[@DJKronikCam710]

Omg this takes me back!! I remember the day this album released, I had to have it so I got it and I listened to the whole thing a million times in the 1st week alone!!

He actually didn’t do a bad job for once in the past the would be no energy and he wouldn’t even try and scream or any of that in this performance he did amazing actually I mean ya it wasn’t deep growls and high screams but it’s something. Accept what you can get

[@___mg9789]

Danny’s scream at the beginning of AA we’re the most brutal screams I’ve heard. Especially when he did the cover at Mitch’s memorial

[@viridarrow5540]

You say that Danny can scream? But you apparently didn’t hear how the rest of the vocalists scream correctly and skillfully, trust me. Check Landmvrks and their live show after that.

in his prime he was very versatile with his screaming voice but a little wobbly with his cleans. now he has matured and sings better overall, although his screams now sound a little forced, but still decent. bands mature or change, so do vocalists, take it or leave it

It doesn't really matter if you prefer new Asking to old Asking. What can't be denied is that haven't achieved high record sales, streams & views since they've changed music styles. Which means they're first 4 albums is what bought them all there success. So with that being said he'll always have to play the old stuff to make the tours worth it for people to consistently buy tickets & come see them.

A única possibilidade de perfomarem no palco como nas antigas é se trocarem o vocalista.

[@ernanegelinski]

@@agricultor6743 Concordo. Mas acredito que a banda em si não queira algo "diferente". Gosto do Warsnop por exemplo, quando ele foi pro We are Harlot lá as músicas ficaram maravilhosas, e nem tinha screamo (apesar do estilo ser outro). Pra mim a maioria das músicas do Asking hoje em dia são ruins...

No way in hell that happens nor should it happen. These guys are in their 30s now and don't want to revisit the early stuff really, especially Danny. He hates this album. Stand Up is a nice time capsule for those of us who were teens in that era, it's fine as is. Plus, the lyrics are very teenager-y in a way that would def not translate well into a "softer re-imagined"
