Chiodos - All Nereids Beware (Live at When We Were Young 2024)

[@CamCotham]

Sounds INCREDIBLE, but the overlap between him singing and screaming just tells me it's a lot of lip-synching. Sounds like he's singing most of it, but I don't think he's screaming- there's parts with harmony where no one else is on a mic. That, plus the scream/sing overlap- Love Craig and Chiodos, but just something I noticed with one of my favorite songs and all of the WWWY videos. Still killer-

I actually think he's doing the screaming, but not most of the singing. Craig's scream vocals have always been insane live, but his singing has always been pitchy during live performances. The singing in this is WAY too perfect to be live and untracked.

Lots of bands have backing tracks these days to fill in the gaps so they don't have to have a bunch of extra musicians for one or two tracks. What Craig did here was egregious. He's barely singing, and you can easily tell when he uses the "take the mic a bit away from your face to avoid clipping the audio" effect and absolutely no volume change occurs whatsoever. Props to the sound guy for cutting the backing vox when he actually did fill in with dialogue or a few actual notes here and there. But this isn't Chiodos. This is Chiodos*, and it's a fucking shame.

@@toddlawson8122 I think he's doing less than you think. Look at his body language during the part at the end - "a corpse lies lifeless, where X marks the spot (breath) at the bottom of the ocean floor" The (breath) happens when the mic is nowhere near his face. There would be no way that the mic would pick that up. Not a chance in hell.
