His phrasing, while playing guitar, is off the charts. The live versions are usually eclipsed by the energy of the crowd so it's a worthwhile endeavor to check out the album versions of their music. Top 5 favorite band of all time.

The studio versions also usually have a higher harmony from Claudio, and a couple even have his blood curdling screams!

[@roadfordays]

Definitely need an album cut for analysis. Coheed may be proggy but it's like emo/post-punk prog, and their live shows are appropriately chaotic. Live performances are expected to be all over the place and out of tune. This band gets super precise and pretty when they get in the studio

[@timseguine2]

They have a lot of good songs that can be listened to as singles, but they are kind of a "listen to the whole album" kind of band for the full experience. A pretty accessible starting point for them is the album "Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness", but the album this song came from is also a good one. They are still making good albums, although I am less familiar with their newer stuff.

@timseguine2 yeah I 100% agree with you that they are definitely more of a listen to the whole album type of band.

I suggest checking out "A Favor House Atlantic" to get an idea of how comfortable he is in a high register. Also, in the studio recordings of songs, Claudio often will layer himself in some really complex harmonies and even little counter melodies and I suggest "The Suffering" for those types of things. And I'll happily admit that I've cried when I saw this live.

Even though there is a fictional story behind most of their songs the lyrics still have lots of relatability and realism.

Truly an awesome one of a kind band.

@@Plemay Go with Album order. Second Stage Turbine Blade, In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3, Good Apollo 1, Good Apollo 2:No World for Tomorrow, Year of the Black Rainbow, Afterman Ascension/Decension, Color Before the Sun, Vaxis 1, Vaxis 2. IKSSE:3 and GA1 are considered their best by some. Some will say Aftermans. Color Before the Sun is considered to be worst by most. She kinda touched base on it in the video but Claudio has written a whole universe that corresponds with the songs. Mostly in comics, but there's a novel and some smaller literature pieces. SSTB through NWFT go over the main story. Black Rainbow is the prequel to that. Afterman is the prequel to everything pretty much. It's hard to explain. Then Vaxis saga is YEARS AND YEARS after No World. Color Before the Sun isn't part of the concept cause the band was dealing with some stuff and just wanted to express their emotions without the veil of the concept. THEN Claudio has a side project called Prize Fighter Inferno that deals with a major side character in story. Theres a lot there. If you're looking for a good group, look up Cobalt and Calcium on Facebook thats the officially unofficial fan group.

[@theamaranththeory]

For what it's worth, Claudio (lead vocals) has gotten *drastically* better as the years have gone on. This is a very early recording as he's still learning to carry himself live. I've seen them since 2003 every tour and he just gets tighter and more consistent every pass. This is a very rough demonstration of what he's capable of. Also, thank you for starting with one of my absolute favorite Co&Ca songs. You really tapped into some of the crying desperation in his tone that is so important to the song. Listen to their album work or more modern live performances if you really want to understand how he works his voice. This song, I still believe, is one of the best opening tracks of the modern era for their genre(s).

I will never get over how complex their artistry is. Coheed has played such an important role in the evolution of my understanding and appreciation for musical expression. Every song is a whirlwind of emotion, exploring the depths of the soul, of what it means to be human. Concepts relating to psychology, faith, suffering, conflict, hope, and so much more.

YAAAAAAAAAY! I've been asking for Coheed for two years, and a solid song pick too. Thank you thank you thank you. Made my weekend.

[@jennifer9047]

Just saw them live on Aug 3rd. This was the first song they played. The entire arena screaming "Man your own jackhammer!" was thunderous and exuberant. I LOVED IT SO MUCH!!!❤

[@dextersreeflab]

They are such musical perfectionists. Saw them in 2003 when this album came out at the Newport in Columbus Ohio. They melted everyones faces off for well.over an hour and the last song, they got a few stanzas in and Claudio just stopped mid song and started saying damn guys Im so sorry. I messed up a bit back there and it has been just such a perfect show I didnt want to end on that note. They then started back at the beginning and rocked it. Nobody woulsve known he messed up but they love their fans so much and want to give us our money's worth. Forever fan after that night.

[@terrylewis_]

I can't wait!! Have gotten to see them in concert a few times, and they are INCREDIBLE!! Claudio's voice is one of a kind for sure.

[@chrisrecco3950]

I am a die hard Coheed fan and have seen them more times than I can count. The live performances are incredible and the fans create an amazing experience I've never felt before. Glad you chose this song. It really captures the energy

[@jleighwolfe]

One of the greatest bands of all time, please do more!

[@TimedRevolver]

The lead singer has another project called The Prize Fighter Inferno. That project and this band are both tied into his series The Amory Wars. Their album titles are usually the titles of each Amory Wars volume. It's a pretty neat thing he's done. Dude's also just a chill, nice guy. EDIT: Claudio's vocal range is pretty insane. Especially in songs like 'A Favor House Atlantic' and 'Blood Red Summer'.

So often your analysis brings me to tears- watching you see what I see and hear what I heard (and ALL of my friends) just brings me back through the first time I heard not just Coheed, but so so many of the other artists you analyze. Thank you for so MUCH for all of the joy!!!

[@hardickmcfondle2956]

There is nothing like seeing them live with an amazing fanbase behind this end of the song.. You'll get chills every time. If you have the chance.. do it.. you won't regret it.

There is nothing like the energy of this song live. It's just indescribable

[@RobSTAR_IV]

I don’t feel an ounce of shame to say The Best Fanbase Of All Time!

[@spiderman4x]

@@RobSTAR_IVI’m fairly new to the Coheed world and I heard a lot of negative things about the base but after a dozen a shows and two Coheed cruises I can tell you there’s not a more chill fan base. Some more intense than others but it’s always been a great experience.

[@dcaf94]

I'd say "I agree" but simply agreeing doesn't do it justice. You're spot on. Coheed puts on indescribable shows. I'll never forget the 2014 Neverender tour-it was my first time seeing them, and they did IKSSE3 for it. Opening with this song, with a sold-out, 5000-person crowd singing along, HAUNTS me. Top-3 live performance among the many hundreds of shows I've been to.

[@RobSTAR_IV]

@@dcaf94 MAN YOUR OWN JACKHAMMERS!!!

[@Valaran1]

I first saw Coheed in D.C. almost 10 years ago. They opened with this song, and the energy in the room was like a bomb went off. Definitely one of the most memorable concert moments I've ever experienced.

[@KrayzieStiles]

10 years ago would have been their Neverender tour for IKSSE:3. I saw them 3 years later during GA1's Neverender but luckily this was one of the couple songs they performed after they finished GA1. Their live performances are truly a blessing to witness in person.

[@spacemoose200]

I saw them live at warped tour 9-10 years ago and had the same experience. This song, the suffering, and blood red summer all had the crowds going crazy lol

[@RyanWhipple]

9:30 club? That’s where I first saw them too, maaaybe around that time frame as well

[@SkorpioMusic]

I'm sure I was somewhere in that crowd with you! I've seen them every time they came to the DC, MD, VA area since the mid 2000s. Always an amazing show!

I dont know how there aren’t more people talking about Claudio’s voice during The Light & the Glass from this performance. That song gives me chills but the live version is somehow even more impressive.

I am a literal card carrying Child of the Fence and I am beside myself wondering which song of theirs I want you to do next ... there are so many songs I would love to see. Whatever you do, just pick another one soon!

[@t3hi84n2g]

when they go back into the intro.... there is NOTHING like this moment live.. Ive seen them play a few times and the crowd energy during this, during 'Man your own Jackhammer!' is incredible. The crowd can get so loud you cant hear the vocals.

[@joshshultz1250]

It's like Bro Hymn Tribute. There's almost no point in Pennywise singing during the chorus.

[@MrTolarindr]

I've seen them live 4 times, and i fully support this comment. there is a level of crowd energy thats never been matched in any other concert i've been to.

[@codyglasson8695]

Absolutely insane honestly. I can only think of one other time at a live show where I felt the exact same thing. Coheed live is a must for everyone.

[@ColieBear18]

Seeing them live is one of the best concert experiences I've ever had. They're so good

[@TheMortician]

They played in Ft Wayne a couple years back and there was multiple times he stopped singing because we kept over powering him. He had the biggest smile that entire show, it was awesome

[@emericanmm]

Every element of every Coheed song is intentional based on the part of the story they are telling. Listening to their albums from beginning to end is a really cool experience.

[@CaliFlahive]

It wasn't, though. At least for the first two or three records. The lyrics came first, based on nonsense syllables Claudio sang to put the vocal melodies to tape. The comics and the story came later, and the story was written to fit the lyrics.

[@xurben1]

Yeah, no..

[@dwaterson21]

You have to check out "The Light and the Glass" from this same show. Chills EVERY TIME when he screams out "Your father's dead, he passed in his sleep!"

[@Hebes24]

So glad you're finally getting to Coheed! This video and song is great, but if you'd like something more recent to follow up with I have a few recommendations: The Dark Sentencer (Live) - Official live performance of another excellent progressive song meant as the intro to one of their recent album "The Unheavenly Creatures" Domino The Destitute (Official Music Video) - Another prog banger, whose official music video really shows off the story behind the song. The Pavilion (A Long Way Back) - a shorter and less intense song, and a great performance from Claudio. Thanks for everything you do! Love the content. 😃

[@jesseseogeek]

You mentioned getting chills at the crowd chant moment. I'm the exact same way. I've seen them live 6 times and every single time this part happens I get chills and tear up. It's such an emotional moment in the song.

[@TheMortician]

Biiiiiiiiiig same. Especially in a indoor venue where it just echoes. So good!

I am so hyped for this. This is my favorite Coheed album and this is one of my favorite performances of theirs

[@doesntmatter2744]

My all time favorite band, my all time favorite song and my favorite version of it. I've seen them every time they've come to the Phoenix/ Arizona area and even and to California for the IKSOSE 3 10 year release tour where they played this album in its entirety. Every time I hear this song live it has an energy in the crowd I can't explain except pure energy, lightning in a bottle. The flood of emotions it brings and all the goosebumps beings me to tears. Being in the crowd when the chants start is wild, we all become 1 among the fence. Words can't describe the feelings you get in the crowd during this song. Thank you for covering this!

[@ndoublec89]

im a simple man. i see coheed and cambria, i click.

[@notarealchannel6537]

C&C albums should all be listened to in their entirety and really in one sitting. The concerts are not just a greatest hits list, and they truly play the albums from start to finish. When I was a teen, I listened to Blink 182, Lincoln Park and more commercial music. It was once I hit senior year in high school that I heard Delirium Trigger and I have been hooked ever since. Forever expanded my ideas of what music could be.

[@DeadWirePromotions]

[@JWLuiza]

They do both full album concerts but their bigger tours are a mix of songs from different eras. The album play-through concerts are awesome though. They also have a cruise which I have not been to yet.

[@chadthunderkawk7090]

They are the only band where I pick an album to listen to rather than a song. Neverender shows are the absolute best.

[@JCK-gi2gm]

🤯Completely🤯Blown🤯Away🤯in the best possible way. It's been decades since I've had a musical experience/revelation even close to what I just experienced with this group, and I've been actively listening to a broad international spectrum since getting my first 45 in 1963.

the different voicing in their songs is him singing different character from the story each album is telling based on a comic he writes called The Amory Wars

I saw the last show of the 2023 tour at the Hollywood palladium and it was incredible. They've been my favorite band since 7th grade, 31 now, they are very cathartic for me.

[@chummer2060]

I love C&C and I still got chills during this song. They have real gifts.

[@finding7]

Their mix of Emo and Post-hardcore with Progressive rock is masterful. I’ve heard them compared to Rush talent wise more than a few times. And hearing Claudio’s voice live is unbelievable. Please do more post-hardcore and Emo bands. Whole genres of rock full of dramatic intense energy like this, layered harmonizing screams with clean vocals, and goosebump moments that need to be experienced to fully round out your exploration into distorted vocals and rock music.

[@rgg6383]

I've only heard 2 songs Coheed and until this song I never realized that they do have Emo in their sound. Claudio's voice actually reminded me of the vocalist of a band I used to listen called Armor For Sleep. They both have that high winy voice (not meant as an insult, I actually like it), but Claudio is a way better singer.

[@doomfable3378]

He sang on a cover version of Anthem (from Rush) on Two Minutes to Late Night. Fit the song very well.

[@christophercole5472]

Two of my Favorites, finally coming together. Elizabeth and Coheed!! Thank you!. I've been hoping she would do one of theirs for so long. The Guitar Center Favor House and Welcome Home are two great live recordings, but Everything Evil, it's probably the best live performance I've seen of that song.

[@mattmessina2090]

It's better to listen and explore their studio stuff. They play with so much energy that they don't always play as consistently and tight as their studio work. Their albums display their songwriting genius.Their concerts demonstrate their passion and energy.

[@linktechjjb]

Very well said! Claudio is never perfect live, but he is always exciting!

[@RemarkableSean]

Though they are stunningly close to flawless live. They have live recordings to prove it. Really dialed it in since the earlier days with Mic on bass.

[@caxe7]

I might be biased but they sound better live than a lot of bands in their space / tangential spaces. Coheed and letlive (rip) were the closest to studio I've found, maybe thank you scientist? But I've only seen them once but remember loving it

[@RemarkableSean]

@@caxe7 yup!

[@thomasbrown8462]

Tbh nowadays they're about as tight and clean a band as you'll find. Back in this Neverender they weren't as clean, but they're so damn sharp live as they've got older, it's actually pretty remarkable considering the technicality of the music.

[@josephpliler392]

Omg yessssss!! Please dissect this band inside and out. Soooooo many great songs! If you wanna see their more melodic side check out the song Afterman, particularly the Guitar Center Sessions version. So beautiful.

[@MsSilentH]

Honestly, I'm surprised every time when I hear you talk about how someone sounds, and all the language that comes with it. I never took any voice lessons, so I never had the terms in my knowledge, but they make perfect sense when you also visually show us. And while I still couldn't describe someone's voice who is new to me using those terms on my own, I understand what you describe 100% for these videos, it really activates my mental visualization for it. It's just really cool that that is how voices can be described, especially when you talked about having resonance or a dome, or a forward, pressed voice etc.

[@chriscrocker3976]

Omg Coheed finally!!! My all time favorite band alongside Iron Maiden, been waiting for you to get to them ❤

[@james.d.fowler]

Honestly, I think Claudio's singing has improved a lot over time. He's overcome some serious health limitations and practiced a lot over the years, and it shows in his performances. Definitely check out some of the more recent songs, like Ghost, Old Flames, or The Window of the Waking Mind.

[@crashkamio5819]

I 100% agree! He's always been solid but ever since the Afterman albums he's done nothing but get better and better. His voice is phenomenal now. One of the few vocalists who get better with age. Id put him in the same category as Devin Townsend with how good he is now and how he just gets better and better. I'd LOVE to hear her thoughts on Window of the Waking Mind. He uses a lot of voices on that song. And it seems up her alley with how theatrical it is.

[@thorne1239]

I know that the last album wasn't everyone's cup of tea, but I loved it. I think it showed how far they've come as songwriters and artists. Window of the Waking Mind is an unexpected, genre-bending, incredibly accomplished piece of art. One of the best things I've heard in years.
