Chevelle - Emotional Drought (Live)

[@BrandonBate]

I don't think we understand just how complex Pete's job is onstage. All of the guitar rhythms, riffs, and solos depend on him. Pedal effects, volume control, and dynamic guitar color are essential to what makes Chevelle so incredible, and he's responsible for all of that onstage. In addition, he has written these songs with incredible vocal range, sometimes spanning several octaves at a time. He's also screaming the best he can without injuring his voice, because just one scream too raw in the first song could ruin the entire set. And if that wasn't enough, he's the frontman for the band, so for the most part all eyes are on him. He needs to play to the crowd, be interesting to watch, and bring the audience into the performance. He may have some off nights from what I can see, but overall I think he has a ludicrous amount of talent and does a damn good job.

Several octaves at a time? No lol. But everything else yes. The guy does a fantastic job on the stage. But he has a 2 octave range comfortably at best.

Dude, Yoda couldn't say it better.

[@Rachel-rv9se]

man this is SO F GOOD, and it's absolutely underrated but I feel honored for knowing them bro wtf

[@Jameessd]

3:23 gives me the chills everytime

[@mrcapitalist2285]

The absolute best grunge band ever !! Seen them live 3 times and counting ......

[@threecheers16]

glad after all these years they finally decided to play this song live

[@Amir07Ghasemi]

And he absolutely nailed the scream

[@skizzurrp]

i saw them in Dewey Beach, Delaware, a few years ago. I was fortunately in the front and it was amazing. He did the scream perfect, and as long as the studio version. So dirty.

[@mattbrown9631]

[@MoonDevoured]

[@bronxrocker93]

[@yeeetjr8681]

Chevelle is prob my favorite band I hope they'll play Mexican sun live someday

[@Siddhartha10100]

They barely play this One live I am still hoping they will Play humanoid live one day finally

[@marines28]

They played this a few days ago! First time since 2010!!! We need some of The Fad, too.

[@josephsmith8087]

Siddhartha10100 unlike what most would think, this is a difficult song to play and sing at the same time. I've tried and almost all their songs are much easier.

[@patrickstar6247]

I fucking wish. Humanoid is a bucket list song for me along with Midnight to Midnight

[@zachcote6632]

The whole Vena Sera album is a masterpiece in itself

[@musicisum0405]

well you cant really blame him if he doesnt sing perfectly... hes on that stage for hours, playin hard guitar parts, and SCREAMING!

[@ashleylynn231]

hope they play this in biloxi! Awesome!!!!

[@iLifeAmirGhasemi]

@MrDrGrotesque No problem man, it was a great show.

[@Amir07Ghasemi]

Yeah I saw them 4 time so far, the first and last couple time I've seen them he was hitting his notes, but the 2nd concert I saw them at, it was pretty painful to listen to him try to hit the notes.

[@wonderwall135]

damn

[@threecheers16]

yea ive noticed live that hes had trouble with that. and just vocally in general. but it seems that petes really picked it up this year

[@CoverPlz]

@nickramzey911 They will never play humanoid, the riff is to difficult, he will not be able to manage it live while singing.
