❤❤❤

[@misesification]

Pontus Just gave up, let the playback do the job lol

[@yesh6545]

lmao! I wonder why people keep showing video of them on youtube when it's so bad!

[@himania89]

Well, actually he sings most of the time and actually quite okay, background/playback is totally normal for a Band like this. The problem is actually his mic volume is turned totally down, either because his headset mic sucks and feedbacks if turned louder, or because he doesnt want it to be louder. Was the same in 2023 and yes, not very good to see/listen to.

[@yeahme8367]

​@@himania89 thats why you do sound check, evry concert of theirs sounds like this with over use of playback

[@Mr.EdGaR.Goth.]

Dead by April спасибо, что вы ей!!! Ваша творчество помогает приглушить немыслимую боль...

[@FatalFireStar89]

So heartbreaking to see them like this right now Been supporting them well over 14 years now they was absolutely amazing I don’t like the direction they are heading right now Shame Jimmie will never be allowed back plus Jimmie is not a fan of doing clean vocals prefers screams and growls Shame really Pontus not always been the strongest clean Vocals but I’ve heard him do better Take away the whole Mic headpiece give him a stand may actually be better for him let movement Just hope one day we will see them at their best again

[@tkornel1981]

where is the another vocalis? its not ok.

[@yesh6545]

what other vocalist? it's been 5 years dude! I don't why people keep being retards there... it's Pontus the clean vocalist now

[@prayerh1no]

That's so sad how they are bad live. Pontus is doing great other things but not singing. They need to find some nice clean vocalist, Chris will be focusing on his great harsh vocals and they will raise up.

[@barionmastros1541]

Я уверен он может петь,но стоять надо просто на месте,чтобы микрофон был четко перед тобой,а не эта блямба,что вечно отходила

[@chrisjtwatson]

So much lip syncing.... I don't understand why they think it's ok.

[@PrEDoKBB]

Cause pontus can't sing and so greed, he don't wanna share money for clean vocalist of band

[@Sminwell]

Their is so cringe 😬

[@JustSumNobody]

I miss Jimmie and Zandro to be honest

[@joshuamccaulley7040]

Jimmie n Zandro were incredible together. Greed. Nah. They've always been a studio band. Can't do that shit live. Who cares tbh.

[@ColeBertoV]

15 years and y'all still can't tell the boy he can't sing. Don't worry, I couldn't either. Bro, it sounds like a chuck e cheese 🧀

[@vincentangelo7529]

ill be their vocalist

[@joetri10]

I just want to put this out there... Do not rely on these videos when judging them live... Whatever it is about these videos, it's not it... and it's pretty wild to me. I went to see them in Birmingham in 2023... and i will say a few things. No.1, the band greeted everyone before the show, and attendance was barely over 100, if even near 100... The venue was small, compact but amazingly funded and well set up. A very popular private venue Lighting was PERFECT... Barely could you see any light that wasn't pyro or placed overwhelmingly. Sound quality was perfect too... Pontus is ofcourse, the biggest player here in why these lives seem bad... But with all the above, i think it's why he gave a great show when i saw them. They were amazing and you really honestly could not tell they were using a backing track because you were close enough to them... Even though in the videos of THAT show, you can hear the backing track but Pontus is also much more audible. Ofcourse i do remember some gaps in their singing, but unlike here, Pontus stayed in his place a majority of the time... No repositioning, and Christopher was so close to the crowd that the acts before DBA were actually jumping in with us... Which may have helped them too... They looked energetic, happy, confident and they sounded amazingly.... If you're ever going to see these guys, do it when it's a small venue, get yourself to the front, and keep it an open mind... Metal never sounds good on film, never has never will... All music actually sounds bad on phone recording due to acoustics... Basically, look up Heartbeat Failing live at The Asylum, Birmingham UK 5/5/2023. It's a great example of them on video.

[@aarkaybmer6329]

Basically, nothing changed... kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGirm32IisRmrqcsi=zP_I8x65q_PHorZl

[@aarkaybmer6329]

Your essay doesn't justify anything about the current poor performance of this band. Basically, same old shit

[@albinbg8434]

Bring back jimmie or Zandro on clean vocals

[@onnirutanen1138]

So are they playing every new songs chorus on playback?

[@pelaaja1337]

They do that on almost every song nowadays unfortunately.. it really feels like Pontus has completely given up on singing..

[@deathbringr124]

@@pelaaja1337Pontus hates singing so no surprise.

[@tejpatil6679]

Yup

[@harissaeed3860]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmjZe3-fpqieepY This is the Dead By April I knew. I like the new Pontus version and previous Zandro era as well, but maybe not as much. I will see them live in a couple weeks and am excited to see them live for once regardless even though their live appearance is very questionable ^^

[@FatalFireStar89]

Yes this is when they was in prime, direction they are going in atm is not good

[@overkill66]

Dead by April was a band from 2007-2009. After that it has been just a studio project that has been repeating itself to death and being a endless source of shame when they try to play live. It's just embarrassing.

[@trvekvlt7196]

All good things must come to an end.

[@adam985185]

Let's just finally face it and see them for who they truly are: A gimmick, and not a work of art. A bunch of talentless hacks looking to milk money by completely ripping off the sound and looks of Evanescence and Linkin Park, while failing to realize what made bands like those so great in the first place. (Like those late 1980:s glam-metal bands who did the exact same thing by copying the sound and looks of early 1980:s bands like Van Halen and Twisted Sister.)

[@Eveileb]

🤗

[@marcush8151]

Jesus... the only redeeming factor of this band now days is christopher. But i cant understand the lipsync when chris is a great vocalist..

[@AndrewKZ0007]

Doesn't anybody see that pontus is using a wireless ear mic to sing 🤣 lol such bad vision

[@Reeve-vf6zk]

That AND lip sync :(

[@CrausVik]

Okay. In Break My Fall, Pontus sings himself. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's disgusting. I'm the only one who noticed that he does better when he has his back to the audience? Yes, I know he has a fear of the public. But damn... Nothing can be done about it for so many years? Pontus is a good vocalist, but he looks like a sluggish puppet compared to Chris. Still, I think that Pontus is a good businessman, songwriter, musician, but he is a poor vocalist. Judging by the trend, it is possible that Chris will one day take a place on clean vocals. If the group isn't dead by then. Although, what am I talking about... Chris also sang clean parts under the plywood. Damn it, doesn't any of the audience notice?

[@chrisjtwatson]

Saw them in London last year. It's very obvious they are using playback. Chris isn't even lip syncing to his own recorded voice. I love this bands music but this is embarrassing....

[@mariopeloful901]

Chris as the clean vocalist? He's literally lip syncing every single clean part that he has. What they should do is hire a new clean vocalist, like the one in The Day we Left Earth for example, and let pontus focus fully on guitar and backing vocals.

[@MartinAslaksen]

Not for studio recordings, but for live performances I would be all for it. Pontus has an amazing voice, just not live@@mariopeloful901

[@Cxrinae]

Pontus isn't bad, he just isn't as good as his studio trickery makes him out to be. I knew with their new stuff there's absolutely no way he'd be able to perform it live, nor Christopher with his scream-singing stuff, Pontus tus just relies on playback and singing the lower harmonies.

[@Peculiarsafe83]

@@CxrinaeI don’t understand why they put Pontus as the lead singer on their album tracks if he doesn’t want to sing it live properly. He was way better back in their 2009 album, but ever since their 2017 album he just hasn’t cared. I’ve known about them and been listening to them since their 2009 album, I just don’t understand why they continue to put him on the track as the main vocals.

[@Cxrinae]

Pontus rapped in Everest, yet they use playback for it and have Christopher lip syncing it.... Literally why? So now Christopher lip syncs the "scream singing" in Dreamlike and Outcome as well. As if Pontus recording stuff he can barely perform live wasnt bad enough.

[@NaS93]

у Понтуса нету голоса вообще в лайве...хотя студийка шикарна

[@LeonardoGomes-j9b]

Esse show foi foda

[@adindaputra1770]

Terrible. Pontus, the band goes down for the last 10 years. Take a seco d singer to the band

[@Gum_Lithium]

Obviously

[@igorvictor3402]

Chega bate uma tristeza ver essa banda ao vivo dps da saida de Zandro dos vocais melódicos, prefiro ouvir só os álbuns msm de estúdio, pq Pontus nos vocais ao vivo sinceramente, é péssimo, essa banda precisa de um vocal melódico que consiga cantar e chegar nos tons que chegam em estúdio pqp viu

[@andh2627]

They should bring Samuel Ericsson for more songs in the future!

[@yesh6545]

they gotta pay him more lol! on insta he literally says- ''MY PAID APPEARANCE'' lmao! wtf!

[@GabrielHenriqueSantanadosSanto]

In my opinion, I think bands that perform with playback are very ugly, I don't think it's cool, it's very annoying, it's good when the band plays and sings without playback

[@jhonataribeiro25]

Melhora esse vocal Puntio dependente de Playback

[@0owmjapo0]

why are they so bad live...

[@Starofthepast_official]

Their performance is bad compared to the previous songs, due to the departure of Jimmie and Zanardo from the band

[@Starofthepast_official]

Jimmie has been performing perfectly in the past

[@joetri10]

They're not... Atleast not always... I think it comes down to several factors... Audience size and venue hardware mainly.. I went to see them in Birmingham this time last year and they were absolutely outstanding. Pontus sang well when he did, which wasn't often, but he did... and Chris dominated everything so damn well. The venue was a small and tidy one, with barely 100 people, and i think it worked very well. It was nothing like these videos.

[@justincary6180]

If you aren’t going to actually perform the vocals live, then just don’t do live shows. You make good songs. I love your albums, but this is embarrassing. It tarnishes the band big time. Either get the old guys back who could do the vocals live, or just don’t sing live. Lip sync is awful.

[@АзатБелалов]

под фанеру?

[@Gum_Lithium]

Это треш. Что 5 лет назад, что сейчас - ничего не меняется. Они будто бы комменты не читают. И не переслушивают то что получилось. Неужели так сложно найти хотят б среднего вокалиста. Это было бы уже гараздо лучше
