Our Lady Peace - Superman's Dead (Live At RRHOF)

Yes! Its OLP live and loud at Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame! Enjoy!
Superman's Dead
do you worry that you're not liked
how long till you break
you're happy cause you smile
but how much can you fake
an ordinary boy an ordinary name
but ordinary's just not good enough today
alone I'm thinking
why is superman dead
is it in my head
we'll just laugh instead
you worry about the weather and
whether or not you should hate
are you worried about your faith
kneel down and obey
you're happy you're in love
you need someone to hate
an ordinary girl an ordinary waist
but ordinary's just not good enough today
doesn't anybody ever know that the
world's a subway...

Magnificent song by a magnificent band

[@FrxBass]

Fuck i love the drummer he's got so much attitude/charisma, skills and a lot of originality in his drumming pattern

[@FunkLord4u]

It's not that he is a bad performer, he has just been losing his voice as he ages. If you watch some of his live performances circa 2000 they are awesome every time.

[@1974tigress]

check em out live @ woodstock '99....fabulous. they r a great band. not one of those bands u hear and know it's them. every album is different from the last. pretty damn impressive that they r just releasing album #8!!! long live OLP!!

[@Frankii3]

they play live really well.

[@TheBrayden1616]

I Fucken Love This Song So Much..My Favorite Song By O.L.P. I Love The Way HIs Voice Sounds IN This One..

[@tawmbout]

Epic. You have to watch this video all the way through. Wow.

[@kcougar12]

when you get older it gets harder to do the stuff you used to be able to do so well.

[@pardonme591]

those acoustics are amazing!!

[@demian113]

I get to see them tomorrow!

[@bce02]

if you live near sarnia, ontario they are coming to bayfest this year..... so look into that

[@splattergore33]

Great video! Thanx ! Amazing song !!

[@videoguy1408]

i seen them live in charlottetown about 2 weeks ago !!!

[@blitzaxis]

OLP is legend already you goofs!!!

[@modebora]

sooo goood

[@thedrummerdude777]

@FrxBass Jeremy Taggart is totally an underrated drummer

[@dallasgannon5717]

You prolly dont give a shit but if you are bored like me atm you can stream pretty much all of the latest series on instaflixxer. Have been watching with my brother for the last few months =)

[@finnegandylan800]

@Dallas Gannon definitely, I have been using instaflixxer for years myself =)

[@MarlinB]

I honestly don't know why any one is complaining about the way this band preforms! They sound amazing regardless. I don't think that I have ever heard a band preform a song exaclty how it was recorded on the album. Take Nirvana for existance. Those guys modified every song they ever recorded a diferent way almost every time they played it. In my opinion it shows growth and experimentation on the bands part. If I wanted to listen to the album version I would save my money and listen to the record

[@Midneight0]

for all u haters just try to argue with that ending...best singing ever right there

[@DrunkenLeprechaunPro]

touché!

[@TheMetalhd32]

But I've seen them a lot and they are great live. I'm not knocking anyone here

[@Kaker15]

totally agree!!.. they are way under rated then they should be... but i guess its for the best because if bands become to big they sell out for whats the popular sound at that time, and not write for there own interest.

[@TheMetalhd32]

Maybe top 50. Were you there in the 90s. They opened for alot of top ten bands

[@killswitchtom]

@blackirises yeah i agree with you!

[@MalachiteR]

Yupp

[@mopsca]

@888greg888 Hey greg, I'm not saying he's a bad vocalist, but I have that DVD actually. He sounds very different and there has been some editing and tuning done to his voice as well as the instruments. It's very common for live recordings. Many bands even overdub or rerecord parts. It doesn't mean he was terrible, but I wouldn't call that a shining example of his good chops...cause it wasn't...even the finished product. I'll still see em live every time. It's great songs and a good show!

[@lab981]

Damn! Raine is the hotness.

[@ourladypeace94]

mgr6v382,our lady peace does not suck. They are a grunge rock/alternative band, they are supposed to sound like that. I think that they sound better live. Our Lady Peace is one of the best bands ever, live or in the studio.

[@Kaker15]

yeah I'm totally going.. I wish I had VIP tickets though :-( The only thing I don't like is how there opening for Stone Temple Pilots though.... So that means they wont have a big pay list :-(

[@bce02]

i don;t know they will prob play for about an hour or more, fit in all their good songs : )

[@CryoSlash]

yeap that's exactly what he meant. I much prefer that over studio recordings for the same reason.

[@kylechomcy]

well if all u guys really wona know he chose to sing this way the live video was made only a year before the gravity album was and he hase a his normal sounding high voice then only a year later he hase this voice hes just not singing as nasiely if he really wanted to to he could sing his old way even on his new songs on burn burn

[@theorthianguy]

They're in the RRHOF?!?!?!?! WICKED!!!!

[@Jesperbechpedersen]

@blackirises - I'm sure you're right, but that doesn't change the fact that his falsetto sound downright awful... I think I would be able to hit it just as bad ;-)

[@larsattack]

2:34 if he can't even do that part of the song live (which is the best part in my opinion) than no one can lol

[@wibbaima1494]

sucks that he doesn't sing that part of the song anymore

[@Asmodayis]

Yeah, definately sounds like he has a cold. He's really good live.

[@mopsca]

@blackirises I don't want to be a nitpicker, but he's not going to falsetto, but head voice (not breathy, cords are still closed). He sounds sick on these songs and he pulls up with his technique so he's always going to wear out his voice...so unless he's in good health and warmed up, it's hard for him to hit anything...and he prob can't hit anything perfectly with his technique anyway cause he has to pull so much.

[@jordanmorton713]

i agree with TheRaider524

[@rgkrenkel]

Christ, who gave these guys a contract?!?

[@Xeltos]

I for one prefer his live singing now, he doesn't sing through his nose anymore. Check the NYE 2011 Superman's Dead, Pretty damn good. Nothing's wrong with his voice he just stopped singing like this. and In my opinion this performance isn't as good as the 2011 NYE one. (Which is just a few months ago)

[@minds0ulfist]

@kmt187 OLP is definitely not on the same level as Staind and Linkin Park. You should know that.

[@yumemirutenshi]

do they still exist nowadays ?

[@postmoderncowboy93]

did those band play the same show? Staind Our Lady Peace Linkin Park Fuel

[@GeetarAdam]

I love me sum OLP, but Raine needs to work on his mic technique. The vocal suffered for it.

[@DrunkenLeprechaunPro]

Not in the punk-pop industry... this becomes pretty much the hardest. And listen, I can sing this song too, I can go with the high pitch tones too, but it doesn't mean it sounds good.

[@Midneight0]

i think they changed to mainstream cuz raines gettin older and it would be pretty hard to sing all these falsetto songs like every 2 days

[@Quinnpie]

I just think in the grand scheme of things and you look at the best bands out there just now: Coldplay, Mute Math, The Killers, Kings Of Leon, Muse, Arcade Fire etc.: and you measure their songs and live performances against this, it shows OLP don't have that special something and match up. It's the same with a lot of American bands just now. The best two i.e. Mute Math and Kings Of Leon are hardly recognised and I think that's a shameful reflection on American music right now.

[@VinsonWood]

lol don't remind me of those days

[@flatblackstrat]

@blackirises Most other singer can do it. your voice doesn't get to that point until your in your late 40s early 50s. Look at some 80s bands and you will understand. 30 though is way to young to loose your falsetto.

[@DrunkenLeprechaunPro]

What's harder to sing than this??

[@Quinnpie]

Haha! Yeah, okay. Is it because all of those bands aren't depressing enough for you? Must be.

[@pardonme591]

@mikec222 everyone has their bad shows. Can't sound good all the time. Voice strain...etc

[@Quinnpie]

There's a reason they're not big - they're awful. This performance is criminal.

[@jjbdrums]

so flat...ouch

[@DrunkenLeprechaunPro]

What??? He's a terrific singer but think of it, this has got to be one of the hardest songs to sing. I admit that he sounds pretty bad here, but he has an incredible voice.

[@Quinnpie]

So let me get this straight...out of The Killers 10 million record sales over just two albums and a B-Side collection, all of those account for just teenage girls?? In Britain, folk are Killers daft. In your own country there is a massive following, worldwide there is a huge following. OLP? People stopped listening to that shit in the 90s man. Canadians account for the majority of their sales. Come join the fun gang man. Must be boring telling mum to shut up and being angry all day.

[@Quinnpie]

Why do you have this obsession with 13year old girls?? The fact is (if you'd look AT the facts) that in Britain the catch age of consumers of bands such as Coldplay, The Killers, KOL and Arcade Fire is between 18-35 years. You won't find that age group watching MTV here. 90s was overrated. Yes it produced Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Pumpkins, Oasis, but every decade has produced a handful of great bands. 90s also produced watered-down wannabes of those greats such as, taa daaaa, OLP.

[@blakship12]

liar..

[@chloekay5470]

is it me or is he kinda off singing... doesnt sound right
