Mudvayne - -1 & Death Blooms (Reunion Show) @ Inkcarceration (9/11/2021)

[@sasakanjuh7660]

Mudvayne, band that actually care about bass.. Welcome back, guys, hope you're here to stay this time! :)

[@nandoginkaku7610]

For those of you who didn't keep up with Chad when he was in hellyeqh. He did scream. Not too often, but he did, there was a point in hellyeahs touring where he would lose his voice worst than he did for this show. He's been getting progressively better. When hellyeah toured for undeniable Chad for a good while was able to scream well. That was his turning point tbh and that's when he was getting better. Bear with him, years of smoking, age and just depression has gotten to him. I'm sure a lot of you, me included, have lacked in one way or another because of those 3 things or more

[@travisspaulding9540]

I’ll give him the other stuff but not age. Ik 3 huge vocalists around his age or older who have consistently been great.

[@joshtothefuture8057]

His mic is definitely fucked up. It sounds like either the batteries are dying or there is an issue with the signal between the mic and the receiver. Also I don’t think he’s used to singing anymore since he screams a lot in Hell Yeah. I think the other big problem is that he can not hear him self…like at all.

Chad's vocals have always been rough and throaty, while bruce was almost classical in comparison. More hardcore but he can't do it forever. Now I do think if he was in better shape we wouldn't be having this conversation. I saw Iron Maiden about 10 years ago and they were still great. I'm pretty sure Chad was drinking really heavy with Hell Yeah.

[@sirmrguitardude]

I think the sound gate on the vocals is because they add some dirt to the vocal channel to give Chad his classic sound. Chances are if he walks around stage his mic will pick up the cymbals and the guitar cabs so the gate is extremely tight. I don't think it's as simple as turning off one compressor and raising a volume fader.

Well, that doesn't matter at all actually. These are excuses for a bad performance. Many metal vocalists sound great even when the get older. I don't know if he was sick of he didn't prepare enough or what else but Mudvayne songs being hard to sing is not a valid excuse.

[@danbo333]

WTF!!! this comment thread 😬. The sound guy that handled this may have messed up. Or Chads wireless directional Mic was junk. There was others throughout the fest that had issues. Example: Brent Hinds of Mastodon. His Mic was shit could hardly hear his parts. Unfortunately for Chad, his vocals was severely highlighted from cutting in and out. Him being the main vocalist of this performance. How could you not notice it. I thought the guitar was buried as well. Chad was using a wireless which he prefers. But if you listen to Gregs (back up vocals) Mic its almost perfect. Which It is a wired Mic. I could see calling it a shit show. If he was forgetting words and wasn't singing within the structure. But every time the volume came back he was right on spot of the song. I seen Hellyeah several times. And he was always in key on the beat and kicking ass. So if you wanna say hes old, or outta of it from being gone from Mudvayne, etc... Shows you know absolutely dog shit about music and reproducing it in a live setting. The vocals start before, on, or after the down beat. Show me where he is at fault for this horrible production mishap of volume. Cheers!

[@danielhughes8705]

I was thinking the same thing. It's a big production to put a show on like this. So many people are involved and this is their profession.

When I saw mudvayne back in 2001 Chad was on point. The problem is Chad never learned how to properly scream so he can preserve his voice. So over time is voice turned to poop.

Being around the back end of shows, I know this was half and half. Every band has presets and certain levels they use. Mudvayne isn't gonna use the same levels as per day chevelle.

[@GCF-Media]

@G Pac bigger venues have better setups than what I've been around. I've seen skillet live and they were amazing even an 1/8, of a mile away. But that's because of multiple things. The location, the sound engineers, and the setup. Also because skillet is pretty good live as musicians. However as big as INK was this year they should've had better sound for mudvayne. But I believe it's a case of their sound engineer being the same one who's been with hellyeah for the last 5 years. And it's the same with hellyeahs sound. But there's no denying chad is not at the top of his game

[@GCF-Media]

@G Pac I also agree on your point on someone being closer having better vocal sound. What I think is his channel is falling out at a certain point in the venue. I just watched the front row video of not falling and he sounds better than I perceived. It has to be a combination of his mic channel and his voice.
