[@LinkinPark4Ever69]

Once I hit 18 in a few years I expect myself to scream in Chester’s style, hes such an inspiration, I swear theres like too many good words for that guy, like I’ll run out lol😭

[@DemonSlayrrrrr]

@@LinkinPark4Ever69 For real bro

[@DemonSlayrrrrr]

I did that course and I had a little bit of distortion. How can I get way more distortion and higher confliction distortion and resonate my voice?

[@djevon4853]

[@damonmorreale9363]

I need somebody who looks at me the same way Chris looks at Andy when he screams

[@Nelly3.0]

hahaha same

[@NoelBastosMusic]

Holy shit, when he did the "Miser-ey" pitch shift it was PERFECT. That is such a difficult transition to make, fuck. Amazing, Andy is a beast.

[@advancedmusic4641]

The key is going from a wide open mouth shape to a more narrow mouth shape

[@derpderpin1568]

as great as chester is, a lot of people need to look in to the prog metal world and have their eyes opened. the best vocalists and bands out there aren't on the radio.

[@George_C-e4v]

@@derpderpin1568 Prog Metal is full of voice effects and layers dude, not even funny lol

[@vèritable_horizon]

​@@derpderpin1568Lol how do you come to the conclusion everyone that thinks those vocals are great just listen to "radio Metal" ?? I was inspired by Disfigured Elegance/Matthieu Paquette. Pocket fold screams are great and even Ozzy and ACDC do them, just less guttural. Pocket folds are a great way to elevate your vocals. Intensity, cleanliness, rawness, gaining volume without rupturing your vocal chords. And technically the more individual muscles you use the more unique your sound will be.

[@Dabby724]

Andy's demonstration was mind boggling but i don't think it was nowhere near on the level of Chester.

[@_PatG_]

It’s almost more impressive that he immediately belts out after that 17 sec scream.

[@ИапГоревич]

Breath control is flawless

[@GambitRaps]

Always so funny watching Chris lose his mind at Chester’s vocals for the thousandth time, he’s just like me fr 🥲

[@alessandro_inno]

Lol. I 100% undrrarand this post. I think that dude is as obsessed as i am to nail this song. Its really difficult, and i admire those who can sing it perfectly, because it opens a world of vocal possibilities.

Me too 😢

[@christina1764]

The same goes for me🥺

[@ump3368]

Wow. Andy is crazy good at that Chester style scream. The way Chris was looking at him in awe was my reaction to most of Chris' videos on screaming, one day i'll crack it.

[@raybankin8342]

I have an idea. Take down notes about what Chris says and practice it in order to create your own version of Screaming styles.😊

[@Cyberdragunz]

@@raybankin8342 No need to practice in order, practice what comes naturally first to get comfortable, then work on the things that feel harder so you don't do damage. forcing it is the quickest way to hurt your voice

[@vosoryan]

9:02 If I could just casually make this sound while sitting there hardly trying, I think I would never need to accomplish anything else in life lol

[@dreamybunnyy]

Honestly, I was just sitting here, completely blown away by how incredibly cool that was! 🤣

[@hollymeredith4148]

😂

[@DelusionalReality1914]

And for that exact reason, I've been practicing. Helps if you start at very low volumes

Found Andy randomly like 6 years ago via his vocal fry tutorial. I cannot believe he is not one of the biggest vocalists in multiple scenes. He's just so damn talented. Been following every single project he's done since

[@FIRST465]

If you said yes then stick around cuz im gonna show you how

[@VintagesoUltree]

Lol the vocal fry tutorial is a LEGEND

[@PhantomCitizen]

At the end of Andy screaming the 17 sec scream I teared up kinda laughing at the same time because it was so f'ing good it made me cry bruh

[@TAFRESHII]

Continue doing what you love.

[@Rosterized]

its a 2 parter scream in this footage they are watching, doing the full 17 seconds live must be really difficult even for chester thats why he did so many 2 parters too. If I remember correctly theres 1 or 2 times when Chester did it live the full way in one scream. I'm glad Andy addressed that aswell

[@DarthAlliance]

@@Rosterized obviously there's a big difference between a whole show and just a song or a video so, that's why he was not performing it all together and even the 2 parters was a very good outro for the shows!

[@christopherharv]

That’s Monuments’ vocalist! Dude’s screams are absolute top notch. The outro of their song Lavos is just a choir of amazing screams, most epic war cry outro of all time makes me want to take an army into battle like nothing else

[@meriwoo7382]

this is first time i've seen someone say they know Andy from outside KZbin

[@moodmusic4life]

Huh you think Chris knows that?

[@jamessahadi7308]

And makari?

[@josearjona3728]

Chester was a treasure and Andy is pure talent as well

[@gindzers]

Hard work+talent

[@HeKillz712]

I am really of the belief that LP should have Andy at VERY LEAST do one tour with them. Have him come in and just do one sweep, filling in for Chester. I have never heard anyone as genuinely close to Chester as Andy. His Given Up cover is how I found him, and I still get blown away listening to him. I really think they should give him a shot.

[@horizoniki]

Andy sporting a Periphery t-shirt makes me proud.

[@rynethorup5690]

I absolutely love how appreciated screaming vocals have become. Shout out to the vocal coach channels like this one and charismatic voice.

[@BrandonGreshamUSA]

You guys did a good job on this breakdown. Fuckin miss Chester

[@elpidamcree2847]

I absolutely LOVED how you guys talked about him as if he was still here. People like you are honoring his musical legacy with your amazing energy, passion, excitement. Thank you for this video. p.s. Andy is an absolute beast.

[@bantzrayder8976]

I honestly think Chester himself would have benefited from this. He did wear out his voice over the years (based on the chronology of the many live videos I've watched). I think the beauty of Chester is that he figured sooooo much of his voice through experimentation. However, you are more susceptible to wear and tear doing it that way with a rigorous touring schedule like his.

[@aspiringtentacle]

True but one of the reasons we know so much about vocal distortion is thanks to Chester himself

[@6stringgroover]

Very true. Was a pioneer. Can’t believe he got fry screams and hybrid screams in front of that massive of an audience

[@George_C-e4v]

Andy is incredible. Not just at vocals either. His composition and editing skills are world-class.

[@ImAsTraLGFX]

This video shows just how good Chester was with his vocals, one of the best vocalists of all time imo and Andy fucking nails how Chester presented his voice, ive been training my own voice for over 4 years now and its not easy, im about 60% of the way there so massive respect for Andy here and a great video all round Chris. R.I.P Chester.

[@seesikopter]

How you training it?

[@MHP1993]

So cool seeing Andy on here. Loved his singing for YEARS and he does not get enough credit for how incredible he is. HAVE HIM ON MORE!

[@chrisliepe]

Oh there's MUCH more coming!!

[@FreeLooK]

Finally a video of someone listening damn Chester like I do hahahahah every single different version of each damn scream is a different sensation and a BONUS for the music. Hahahahah

[@RadxPLord]

The way you guys can mimic the tone and be spot on with Chesters sound is so cool. I wanna get there some day

[@gigabrad4570]

Andy is a fucking anomaly. My lord. Doing the 17 secs while sitting is FUCKING INSANE

[@mhdibm7515]

I just love how happy these guys are when doing this Chester is really one of a kind

[@Roffeu]

Andy's a gold mine, it's such an incredible opportunity to get to pick his brain like this about vocal technique. Amazing videos!

[@nickwait5260]

Hearing Andy manage to complete the full scream is genuinely so sick haha. Great breakdown as always and it's cool hearing how those screams are truly done.

[@archangel_josh]

Loved the enthusiasm guys! This was fun to watch, I remember when I first heard this song YEARS ago I was like "No way he did this in one take...he couldn't pull this off live" And here's proof Chester could. So could Andy!

[@Monius13]

I'll never cease to be amazed by Andy's skills. Incredible control and range.

[@brendans.9515]

Its the pain. This is definitely one of his most emotional performances and you can tell he really was feeling the lyrics during this peformance. The face hes making right before the scream..the eyes, his face..so much pain. Even if he tried to sing something without distortion, if he was finding the power from his pain, it would still seep out and thats how I see him singing.

[@Tzalmavet]

We need an updated vocal tutorial from Andy Cizek. He's using demonstrations and examples here that make fry distortion seem easier to achieve than we believe.

[@chrisliepe]

It’s coming out this Wednesday :)

[@Tzalmavet]

@chrisliepe Incredibly excited to hear this news! Looking forward to Wednesday!

[@shinobitreecko8442]

What gives me chills is the actual song. The meaning, the emotions, the words, the message hes saying... he was telling us what he felt. And knowing he is not with us anymore and hearing this song post-mortem really fucking hurts.

[@tonypaella]

The question is whether he wrote the lyrics. For example breaking the habit and in the end are have lyrics by Mike. So maybe he can relate, but might not be him telling us how he felt. A lot of the sound and themes of Linkin Park are Mike. Chester gets most of the credit though.

[@KassidyPhantom]

9:35 This was my "Ah ha!" moment for reaching that type of high fry scream. Definitely something I want to work on!

Awesome video! Love Andy’s warmup course. Can’t wait for the full course. 🙏🥰

[@parabot2]

Can't wait for Andy's lessons , the guys an animal of a singer , super talent .

[@B-Loni]

I’ve always loved Bert McCracken’s vocals on their self-titled album “The Used”. It always sounded so flawless to me when he’d transition to screams like in the “buried myself alive” chorus or just through out the entire album. Also, his falsetto part after the 2nd chorus of “Poetic Tragedy” ALWAYS gives me chills. He was so fuckin good in his prime. His performance during Taste of Chaos 2005 was phenomenal. He was hitting every powerful scream on “A Box Full of Sharp Objects” I was excited to finally see Chester but before that tour began, that’s when he took his life 😔 RIP

[@azrael7700]

1:50 It's fascinating how high Chester's voice is for the chorus. It's amazing that he chose to put so much grit into high ranges 2:40 I think Chester's chorus is actually kind of in the nasal cavity. A trick he might have picked up from Chris Cornell

This was great. What a nice breakdown of a cool track. Thanks to both of you for hooking it up with the vocal content. I see our voice the same way Andy does where we have built in distortion and fx within our voice box. It's just learning to use it, just like learning how to use it on the computer when adding fx.

[@Taylor1err]

one thing to mention about chesters performance there is that his diaphragm is really being engaged quite heavily. his breathing technique is so flawless doing what he does

[@dashobradors]

I saw Monuments open for Leprous in Barcelona and I was blown by Andy's showmanship and vocal craft! From that moment I was hooked! 🫶🏻👹

this was eye opening. I didn't realise you could put some much of your "voice" into that "fry" kind of distortion. For my atm my fry seems to take over completely and I lose my sense of voice, but trying to imitate Andy I think is helping reintroduce more 'me' into my fry screaming. Transformative!

If I remember right, in this video, this was towards the end of the concert, I think almost 2 hours

[@frankunodostres473]

well there are different approaches to screaming. you can do it differently than chester and get a 16 scream with good breath management. but that GIVEN UUUUUUPPPPPPPPPPPP note in the chorus is just insane every time. there is no easy way to do that! btw I have the same cajon that can be seen in the background^^

[@tomlebeau7921]

I’m so close to being able to do this. After years of doing heavy vocals for fun, I really want to get disciplined with the technique that allows me to keep singing as well as screaming... I can randomly reach for certain sounds, but being aware of the specific placements is the next step. Can’t wait for the course.
