Right it’s wild - I never noticed before

[@aleksthevoyager1260]

He’s still the best drummer Slipknot’s ever had, and it was the bands decision to speed up the songs in order to try to fit more at least one more song in the setlist

[@lucianodasilveira_]

​@@aleksthevoyager1260 Eloy is better.

[@KyoMinx]

@@aleksthevoyager1260im sorry but this just isnt true. Joey was absolutely the best drummer they had followed by eloy. Joey was such an amazing stand out drummer in everything he was in from slipknot to murderdolls and sinaseaum. And eloy is a fucking monster. I dont like modern sepultura but his drumming is amazing on the recent albums

[@potatobotR2D2]

I think his mask mutes most of his yells but he's definitely improving

[@dissonantharmonic]

Its probably more likely because he is cupping the mic. It makes vocals louder at the expense of clarity

[@aztronomy7457]

I think it sounds better that way I don’t know why

[@eusavio_]

the only thing I don't like about Pfaff is that his voice is muffled because of the mask

Also his mic is a little lowed, we barely can hear him

Michaels vocals today are great. But I can't believe they let him do those backround vocals at the beginning. Out of 8 other people, it was the best option to let michael do it? 😂 somebody in this band gotta have a better scream than michael had back then. Anyways, he is doing it well now

[@need4speed5353]

He was so laughingly bad at first but now i like him more Chris. Chris was great, but i just prefer tortilla's demonic vocals. I just wish they turned his mic up more

[@Goo.Bitty.73]

Thank you! I think once tortilla man got into his own his vocals sounds alot more distinct while also blending with coreys vocals very well, i hard agree here

uhh have you heard Chris's vocals he has way better scream then pfaff...devil in i live in Mexico would prove that...the nameless. skin ticket from 9.0 live

Has anyone noticed how Corey avoids pronouncing "s" sounds in his 2023 performances? It makes his vocals sound weirdly floaty and lazy. He sounds really good in the new 2024 performances with Casagrande though.

My theory is that it was probably his mask at first. You didn't really see his mouth because of the zipper. And he also needed to pay his dues for the first tour with them.

[@Zakuda-sanWOLF34]

I'm happy he has improved.. He's grown on me a lot..

[@ShaneT5S]

He definitely wasn't good at all when he started, he was doing the more muppet style screaming, but now he's actually growling his vocals. 1000x better than when he joined, but like anything, it comes with practice. I love Chris' vocals more though, but I love how much energy Pfaff brings to the stage

The devil in i sounds amazing 2023 vs 2019. People equal shit is unintelligible now. Same with psychosocial.

[@jonaswanyk.0685]

The problem with 2019 shows is that Clown volume is inexistent, we only could hear Tortilla

[@yeetkundo]

Man I love this, you gotta understand he wasn't always a Metal guy thus he had a rough start at 2019. Shows how much he worked on those lows and built his own identity, gotta love Pfaff he keeps getting better and better maybe at par now with Chris Fehn.

[@Killua1947]

Tortilla 2019 somehow sounds like Chis ngl xD I prefer his 2024 voice way more especially on songs like The Devil in I since it just fits better. I prefer the growl anyways only his mic could be like way louder. Once again it's in my opinion

[@layedbackrelaxed7026]

He has a nasty growl ngl I think prefer it to Chris’s

[@dhaddine5472]

What I noticed when he originally joined, he really hadn’t designed his mask … so he SOUNDED like he was singing in a mask. It was echoey and muffled. He sounds much better now … due to various reasons I’m sure, but one of those I can guarantee you is mask improvements.
