I WISH I WAS THERE, THIS WAS PERFECT

[@izzyaguilar126]

It's funny how everyone in the comment section is saying how bad he is singing and out if tune and blah blah...but before I read the comments I was like, wow, Kellin sings so good live

[@kinginthering6310]

+Izzy Aguilar agreed, i'm so happy that i stumbled upon this. this is pure gold.

[@vanilla5.0]

like some of the more strenuous songs are understandable because he recorded them when he was younger but kellin is great live

[@Yunaofficial0111]

They forgot the fact that the instrumentals are very loud on life concerts.

[@danfawkes-underwood1506]

Izzy Aguilar it's not out of tune it's just really underwhelming

[@CaptainsGamertag]

I was there. He fucking sucked seriously . And I've seen them when he's been good

[@carolinac.7027]

What a dead crowd... If i were there i would scream, jump, sing until my lungs will explode...

[@maisiefrench4424]

I think they were quiet cos they didn't have mics facing them

[@waterpark.asitis9564]

Carolina Costa BBC always censor the crowd

[@sl4indeer]

Carolina Costa they lower the noise from the crowd so that we can hear the act better

[@nellyraganit8408]

LoL

[@PunkiePie12]

Can we please stop talking about Kellin's voice, and appreciate Jack's guitar solo in congratulations?

[@carolinacanha4181]

Thank you

[@jacobnathan8724]

His voice sucks regardless

[@emosinwonderland3509]

+Jacob Nathan ruuuudeeee

[@jacobnathan8724]

+emos in wonderland I love his voice in the studio but there he can record line by line so there's no real strain on the vocals and then you doctor the hell out of it. (I'm a singer myself so I know the process, though I don't claim to be anywhere near as good as him on the record.) Here there is way less filtering and he is straining his voice. Add in the screaming and the fast paced lyrics and a great voice sucks all of a sudden. Hence it sucks regardless😊 Let the record show I am still a fan!😎

[@MetalMarauder]

+Kara Mulligan it's really nothing special. it's just basic pentatonic runs. anyone can do that. it's neither complex nor memorable.

[@dajoshep2846]

His voice is so beautiful. He's so perfect, HELP

[@kay-ku3wb]

a trophy father trophy sons hits me hard especially when Kellin said "this is for all of you guys who didn't have a mother or father in their fucking life growing up!" I cried idek why, but my mom left when I was 2 she said she was going to the grocery store and never came back, she says she still cares about me and I'm just like "then why'd you leave me"

[@MayaLea99]

Kellin energy is amazing. I wish I could’ve been there.

[@samanthacoombs6110]

amazing set, im seeing them in april next year and its also pierce the veil, SWS and PTV in one concert = my life complete

[@therainbow0926]

sosoooo lucky how were they

[@manonwatier5581]

People make me laugh. Very much. They criticize, criticize island but they know not realize the 100th of what it does. For me, no matter how he sings. It is and will remain my favorite singer for a long time

[@kay-ku3wb]

5 seconds Of Troye same I hate when people are like "he sucks I don't like sws anymore" like wow can people be that fake.

[@athyunjins]

What is this crowd? I would go fucking crazy and scream my head off! I can't even hear them there.

[@codie15521]

+Lara I think they audience didn't have microphones.

[@athyunjins]

+codie15521 You're right, but I don't see them dancing so much.

[@CaptainsGamertag]

I was there. They sucked

[@anthonyrafferty9188]

Have seen them live twice and he always sings phenomenal .....including VIP where they perform acoustic and they are literally playing 5 feet away 🤘🔥🤘🔥

[@alliyah7983]

I really love Sleeping With Sirens, I hope I will get to see them live like this. Hoping for a concert here in the Philippines or in Qatar.

[@bakagamisykes6628]

Why are people saying that they are bad live? I've haven't been to a concert of them, yet. But actually I heard they're amazing live. And even if Kellin doesn't hit every note he's a great vocalist. All haters go and listen to the acoustic versions and you will see he's amazing.

[@evanwear5887]

Having been to probably hundreds of concerts at this point, SWS was easily one of the best I've seen. Cheers to 7 years since that comment was posted.

[@aidanbiersarck3176]

OMG!! que hermoso concierto, es muy MUY difícil llegar a esas notas de voz y Kellin lo logra sin problemas, claro tras años de esfuerzo, ningun cantante que conozco llega a esos agudos, sinceramente increíble 💜😍

[@katezalewski8953]

In my opinion Kellin is just really quiet, he is a great singer they just need to turn him up.

[@air-o-headproductions1390]

+Kate Zalewski It's not that he's "quiet" but he keeps the mic far from his mouth. If you pay attention, it becomes very noticeable

[@katezalewski8953]

I see, yeah he should fix that

[@amberleann]

+Air-O-Head Productions I've noticed this over the years.

[@danhowell9220]

Wtf your picture 😂😂

[@elijahlanning1762]

+Air-O-Head Productions a good Mic doesn't need you right by it. either it needs to be turned up or it's a crappy Mic

[@hanun1511]

i wonder what kellin feels if he saw all these comments that said his voice is fucked. for me its really hurt to see all these comments 😢😢 bc i love him so much

[@alison528]

Hanun Quinn same, I always think that when I see comments against bands. Breaks my heart into pieces

[@yonkomamitsu8446]

Hahah come on its really hard to sing like him. Vic fuentes also sings like that in their early years but he change it and its much better.

[@sunsetdaydreams9939]

But here's the thing: Kellin doesn't have a BAD voice. He doesn't have a studio voice because they run that through stuff, but he does kind of have to strain his higher and more feminine voice to do what he does in his music. Vic Fuentes sounds very similar to the studio recorded stuff, but he and Kellin aren't the same person with the same voice. Jack had really good solos on his guitar, but SERIOUSLY, stop complaining about Kellin straining his voice.

[@yeaahright3895]

I'm sick and working from home but this concert gives me life. Thank you SWS 😋

[@calebmills2003]

Although he can be pitchy every now and then, he's can straight up sing some high parts. Not a lot of people have that kind of range.

[@scout9120]

He's not pitchy

[@calebmills2003]

+Sirens xoevol okay

[@educarre93]

+Sirens xoevol autotune for kellin plz, he cant sinf without it

[@scout9120]

+educarre93 omfg I've seen him live and he's amazing! He has more talent in his entire body than you do in your pinky😊👐🏻

[@anneheartshorses]

+Caleb Mills I can confirm that Kellin Quinn is an inconsistent vocalist. I saw Sleeping With Sirens in February and June and it was a great performance, but videos like this proves he can be very pitchy sometimes.

[@ivywall4801]

Why are there so many people saying that kellin isn't as good here and not as loud. and like he couldn't go too hardcore because he had to a whole set to do and he wanted the whole thing to sound okay. I loved this 😍❤️💞

[@manswounded1677]

Ivy Wall he always has a whole set to do....

[@adrianrodriguez3554]

Kellin is a shit :v las cosas como son

[@leanneasaur]

I was at this, and they were amazing! But kellin only sounds strained cause his mic was so quiet, what you could hear well, he sounded great.

[@kayellesuede4326]

Sleeping with Sirens is my favorite band and I'll admit, Kellin does have quite a few bad performances where he strains his voice. I know he can do way better than this live, considering I've been to a live SWS concert. So please, do not judge Kellin's natural voice just by these KZbin videos because he doesn't always sound like this.

[@MissSmurfLol]

THANK YOU. I saw them at the world tour in Amsterdam this march and his voice was so pretty ;-; he probably had a cold at this show or something idk.

[@shaefisher1700]

+Alisson Jordan its called falsetto It's his head voice so he's using his diagram and lifting his soft left pallet to hit them Other than his lungs

[@kinginthering6310]

+Miss Sassa Frass this was the best live performance by them i've seen this far. the best kellin i've seen. in my opinion this whole set was perfect and kellin was absolutely amazing here...

[@haydenisnotinteresting8956]

They're going to have to start writing songs that don't reach as high notes. He can reach them anymore sadly...

[@-g-6261]

I feel like it's because the front mic sounded so quiet compared to the instrument amps and that meant he would've had to be a little bit louder and having to make your own voice louder is pretty hard to do without sounding strained and if you strain too much, you could mess up your voice. I feel like he sounds a lot better in smaller venues for the fact that the mic is louder and you don't have to strain as much. To be honest he actually doesn't sound too bad here like people are saying. He still sounds pretty good to me but the fact that he has to strain his voice to be heard kind of makes it sound a little out of practice or not properly warmed up.

[@thecrazy1522]

Omg Perfect james dean And perfect ..... I LOVE THE BAND SLEEPING WITH SIRENS

[@valliunicorn6809]

I've seen sleeping with sirens already twice live and im going to see them again in february. You can say what you want to say but dont judge Kellins Voice because its absolutely adorable in every way and can we just forget about the vocals for a moment and consider the feels he puts in every song?

[@morganrose2799]

Low sounds Amazing live!!!!

[@ravnitmehra1672]

if I was at this concert I would be screaming my head off lol barely anyone was making a sound

[@kat-jg5du]

I don't think there was a mic on the crowd

[@princessfernandez7062]

this is awesome !!! as always SWS is AMAZING .

[@aragonleianmareem.2494]

I just love Sleeping with Sirens especially Kellin💖

[@middecember472]

there are so many comments about keeling voice sounding bad. how about you go and try to sing the way he does. you need to understand that first of all screaming strains your voice and vocal cords to no end. its insane how he is able to get through a whole set without his voice giving out completely. and second of all are you seriously going to judge his whole singing ability on one video? I've seen them live and his vocals are absolutely amazing. PLEASE stop talking so much shit about him.

[@natycardona6771]

right like gosh this is one of the voices along with rest of SWS that have kept many of us going u loved them and in 1 video u throw it all away

[@ruizer4]

You're right. I can say, as a singer myself, it's kinda hard to hit high notes the way Kellin do, his voice is amazing and he has a very high vocal range. And yeah, your voice will be weak after screaming, even when screaming correctly. I mean, go listen to "Given Up" by Linkin Park, studio version, before the screaming part, Chester can force his voice in the chorus. After all the screaming part, his voice seems more soft/clean in the last time he sings the chorus. So, if in ONE song you can lose your voice, think about one whole set.

[@gabe17gamer]

Yeah, I mean, Keeling has a good voice!

[@datNERO17]

Dude, if you use the right technique for screaming, you can do it at normal talking sound level, and it will not strain your voice one bit. Hitting high notes is all about talent and the right technique. There is nothing HARD about singing like this, Kellin just never learned the right way to sing, and he has to force himself to hit those notes. Sad, because he is immensly talented. I sing, infact, i can hit a Bb5 cleanly and im a male. All about the right technique dude.

[@mariachalklen7784]

I know this was ages ago but THANK YOU FOR THIS

[@katielucypricemilner7443]

I liked at the beginning of congratulations when Justin and Nick were just bobbing up and down, it was so synchronised XD

[@TomMcAlindonOfficial]

KatieLucy PriceMilner Just noticed this now! that's crazy

[@Lau_horrorx]

Conocí a sws por gossip y deos Kellin tiene una voz increíble, si tensa la voz o no pues es porque luego no puede alcanzar sus notas, así que porfavor, no te quejes, y disfruta el sentimiento que mete en cada una de las canciones que canta y a cantado ♡-♡

[@paytonhill4574]

Congratulations was really good wow

[@ecl584]

Iconico meter una voz de angel a un genero tan pesado.

[@beyourself5511]

What's up with you? Kellin just needed some time to warm up but since A trophy father's trophy son his voice is awesome as always. Don't forget Jack, Justin, Gabe and Nick! Thank you for sharing this video @Chris Goode.

[@arielwoods2660]

everyone who's saying kellin can't sing live, is W R O N G , I saw them late 2015 and he was actually amazing , they just need to turn his mic up

[@shainetheis6241]

I love them, they are my all time favorite. But at every SWS concert I've been to, Kellin is straining and extremely quiet. Still love him though.

[@alknapp6822]

everyone in the comments should shut their mouths because kellin doesn't sound that bad, he actually sounds pretty good. besides it's not even like you make tons of money, and they can't even see your comments so just shut your mouths

[@coribit660]

Y EL FINAL DIOS KELLIN TIENE LA VOZ DE UN ANGEL ESTOY MUERTA

[@1258puppy]

Guys, im like 99 percent sure he was hungover, there is another performance of them playing this song and kellin sounded like this and he was drunk. BUT, after straining his voice, its harder to hold some vocal cords + his voice has gotten deeper. There are plenty of videos of him doing well

[@vendettasvcks]

To everyone saying the crowd is not making noise: in videos like this they try to mute the crowd where you can hear the band.

[@ytwithsirens_8004]

The vocals are quite low on this but I'm pretty sure that's just bad quality cause on other vids I've seen kellin's acc really good

[@s.morgan7015]

Kellin's not THAT bad, just super quiet. O.o Also, I've never been to a concert of any band and the only other concert videos I've seen were of MCR (*sniff*), so it prolly seems really calm to me because Gerard was a literal god of the stage...

[@BlizzardGhost]

Kellin has two gay dads? Lemme say one thing... THAT IS SO FUCKING RIDICULOUSLY AWESOME!

[@anisainscho1027]

+Warrior_Goddess Is this some joke I don't get? Because I am confused. Is it because he says father twice?

[@camillejacklyn9112]

[@fajarsandy45]

+Chris Goode i like this

[@PiodoXGaming]

pause at 8:18 and look to the left side downward. you will see a great magic

[@katyungodly]

I love this band, but they don't need to write vocal melodies that are too high for Kellin to hit live. 14:40 is a prime example where he had to resort to screaming since he can't hit the note. I wish they would just like downtune the guitars or something so he can sing a bit lower :/ However, all the instruments performed quite well live :)

[@phoenix-jj1ic]

I am pretty sure kellin can hit all the high notes he wants

[@ZIRKPROFFLOVER23]

Katy Leanne Well he used to be able to hit them really well. I personality think he has switched the way he sings, and this is why he can't hit these notes.

[@ZIRKPROFFLOVER23]

***** Are you sure? To me it just sounds like he raised made his voice higher and then tries singing that way, okay that's a bad example but it doesn't sound like it has any diagraph.

[@ZIRKPROFFLOVER23]

***** I love them too, but I'm not saying Kellin isn't using technique, it sounds like he's uses a different technique. This new technique could be cause he's voice is lowering or the damage he is doing (from what to me sounds like improper) from his screams

[@prettyricky2564]

[@kadenlawson2978]

I'm a drummer and I've never understood why drummers put tape over their logo when they are in any country other than America. If anyone would like to explain that to me, I'd be very thankful 👌🏼

[@hexdogwater7404]

Had to reset my password just to answer this for you, from what I'm aware of it's usually either due to the drummer having endorsed by another brand which wasn't available for backline or simply the drummer doesn't want to give the drum company any free advertising because he doesn't have an endorsement deal with the company. That is why the logos are there and all over cymbals, heads and sticks; it is a very subtle form of free advertising for the manufacturers and most times unless already endorsed drummers won't go out of their way to find unbranded kits etc Hope that makes some sense to you mister xx

[@hexdogwater7404]
