Claudios ability to sing clearly whilst playing the fidliest of riffs is mindblowing man

[@CranialCollabs]

Dude... Everything Evil always gives me chills and this version of it... oh my god.

[@marcusrosales3344]

Love the end of the song even though it reminds me of the death of my own innocence. Bitter sweet since there's an entire world to explore if you go past the fence.

[@derekchomyn5026]

Just stumbling upon this video. Claudio casually playing the everything evil riff while still nailing the vocals blows my mind

[@worldsaway-uy6zt]

If he only knew almost 20 years later, people would be paying hard earned money to chill with him and his band on a fucking cruiseliner, where they were top bill amongst their peers. What a treasure this guy and the music they create are.

[@ganjaguru820]

amazing to think about. IMO its also how you know hes been doing it all along for the music and art, never the profit. Love you Claud, thank you

[@BigHess]

I've had a few beers and this made me feel emotions I was not expecting this evening. Claudio's music has been my best friend for 15 years and will stay with me until the day I die.

[@angelg1907]

I hear that. My one true friend besides my cat. Forever and always 🙌🏻

[@remisteele8904]

I pretty much came here to say this. I saw them play in some hole in the wall right before the second stage hit, and since i've seen them at least 200 times, was lucky enough to play the eastern leg of warped tour one year and got our slot changed so I could watch them play each time. Coheed has quite literally saved me through every major life trial i've had.

This is what really strikes into me constantly with him, there's so much talent in this one person, it's just incredible to see.

He is very talented but he is also very driven and motivated

[@Duplicitousthoughtformentity]

A beautiful man with a beautiful voice and a beautiful heart, a beautiful mind, and even more beautiful hair.

[@thesunthatsankmusic]

Every song is basically a deep cut at this point especially backend of forever so awesome seeing them acoustic. This whole performance was unreal we need a Claudio solo tour!

[@ShinyFlakesShinyFlakes]

This is the holy grail of acoustic Claud

[@T9C1PSayWha]

demo backend of forever is a SERIOUS trip. It's really raw.

[@unfotunategaming]

It's crazy to hear how his vocal runs and tendencies in Backend of Forever here are very similar to Shabutie. It's weirdly nostalgic to hear. It's also so crazy to hear how little confidence he has here, especially with how influential some of these songs he plays become.

[@brianbuckley9682]

This is why KZbin is the best thing ever

[@Mawnstar]

I got so excited when he was asking what to play and people said Cassiopeia. I wish he would have played that, I love that song so much!

[@Charoum]

Hahaha

[@VinceJames-lq7qy]

Haven't watched this video in at least 15 years. One of the main reasons I started playing guitar... Guy is a hell of a story teller and musician.

[@MatteBlackEverything]

12:49. Even to this day, Claudio still goofs up a little like this, and it's just so refreshing to see. Just went to their show last night in St Paul MN, and for the VIP ticket holders (Prise), we got 1 early accoustic song where they played Guns and Roses Sweet Child O' Mine. Claudio messed up a chord or something but recovered flawlessly. No musician is perfect, and I really value the humility and recovery. Not to mention his sheer artistry with these songs. I couldn't imagine trying to play these complicated songs AND sing. Sheesh.

[@Quisykl]

All still absolute bangers in 2022. Saw them last weekend for the first time in years. Took me right back to 18 years old when he played Everything Evil. The chills yo.
