STARSET - Monster [Live Acoustic Performance]

[@JackieSt]

Dustin's vocals are incredible at this point, I love how he manages to sing this soft, calm, then raw, passionate, and always conveying so much emotion. Simply amazing.

[@Kix-86]

That description reminds me of Benjamin Burnley from Breaking Benjamin. Both supreme vocalists and musicians. Michael Barnes from Red too.

[@Akashi-js6rx]

Woah! Dustin's vocals have improved massively over the years. He doesn't have a conventionally singing voice but he trained it well enough to put on a great show

[@anonymousperson3023]

He was never good. He was really bad to start. It's better now but still subpar to any half decent vocalist. It's okay to be honest. Dustin is not a trained singer

[@jxst.joshing]

@@anonymousperson3023 he is decent. You definitely can't compare him to the likes of Brent Smith, Corey Taylor, you name 'em. But given that he sounded quite bad a few years ago, he's come a long way and his voice is enjoyable instead of just a necessary instrument for their musical vision

[@Luluztucru]

I'm actually listenning to a playlist of acoutisc music from starset and now, I just have a notifications about a new song of them in acoustic... There's sometimes I love my life

I've never seen a fan base so supportive to a rock band the way Starset's fans are. They deserve all the love and support they get, and so much more. I hope they keep growing and become more recognizable for the world to know about them :)

[@Raynedog00]

To this day I haven't heard a bad Starset song. I can't remember how I found their music back before the first album dropped. I think it was a KZbin recommendation and i listened to My demons and Carnivore. After that i waited on bated breath for their album to actually drop. I went and bought it on CD and the digital version so I could listen in my car and at home.

[@apple_b0tt0m16]

Absolutely agree. I'm thoroughly convinced they are incapable of making bad music. & I always make sure to mention that whenever I'm recommending their gloriousness to those with virgin ears. 😍

[@FatalVindicator]

I found Starset down a rabbit hole of last.fm recommendations starting with Red, or maybe 10 Years. Starset instantly took a top 3 spot amongst those mentioned bands

[@shaunswieringa171]

This is exactly the same for me. Found em before the first album with demons and carnivores and went right to preorder and binged em so much haha. Saw em live in the beginning with all that remains. They were waiting outside after handing out flyers for starset, saw I was wearing a starset shirt and the guitarist was so happy, almost in tears that I was there specifically for them

[@Burrowtaylor]

I remember I heard My Demons on the radio once and Shazam-ed it and then when I saw Breaking Benjamin in concert Starset opened up for them and I've loved them ever since. I listened to their first CD on repeat for a year straight and that's not an exaggeration lol

[@SalieriAS]

Yes, this is the "Arknights anyone?" comment you're looking for. Love the songs, somehow Starset reminded me of Linkin Park. Hope the band will be more recognized someday, more than that famous singer out there who depends on autotune too much.

[@angusmorris4154]

Salieri AS Starset is the next Linkin Park imo. Once they take off, they’ll define a generation of rock-lovers.

@@katlynbrown651 A mobile gacha game used two of Starset's songs - Unbecoming and Monsters - for two of the game's promotional trailer. That game is called Arknights. In fact you may have noticed that there are newer fans on this channel chanting or commenting about Arknights. In a way Arknights indirectly promoted Starset to people like me who never heard of this band before. So I guess you can say this is a win-win situation.

Dustin is honestly in my top 3 vocalists of all time with Chester Bennington and Danny Worsnop. His versatility is insane. I NEED to see them live soon. Starset have a really special meaning to me actually. When I first discovered them with Vessels then listening to Transmissions I was going through some stuff and it was so different to anything else I’d ever listened to it was amazing. Then when Divisions came out it was just after my birthday and it felt so special. Starset are more than a band. They are a movement. Thanks Starset for all you do. You’ve really helped me get in the right state mind and push through some of my biggest challenges. Keep rocking Starset! 🤘🤘

Love coming back to the acoustics. These guys have come a long way and the even added a 7th member. Man, I wonder what their next album is gonna sound like. Well, I'm kind of wondering if they'll take a step into the feel of the first album. Honestly, they do is amazing, and I support them all the way. The Divisions and Horizons albums are so similar I consider them to be one big album. So cool and I hope more bands take up influence on how vast and creative their music can be. Doesn't even the narrative that they tell.

[@infiniteaj8688]

There's just something so beautiful about their Acousitc versions. The same lyrics, yet the songs feel so different. They almost have a completely different meaning. Take 'Die For You' for instance. The original makes you think that the persona in the song is going through a type of war to save their loved one, and has so much conviction that they can and really will die for them, while the Acoustic version sounds so much more sad and final, as if the persona has failed to save them, and is now lamenting they couldn't hold up their promise. I absolutely love this band. Please never stop being awesome!

[@breezylyn2168]

This song makes me feel things sooooo deep ..... feels like I can relate to this song on so many levels .... took so long and sooo much to finally move on from being completely broken. And seeing and realizing I don't want to be a monster .... so many kids are faced with this not even knowing how much the abuse affects every part of their life well passed adult hood. Was easiest to numb it with drugs ... then ... I became the monster... finally after a mental break down ... I realized how damaged I was and didn't want to be like that anymore . So slowly tried to find the path to healing my heart , and the little girl instead . Then slowly I was able to break the generational affliction that crippled me so long . . I still do struggle with it. Sadly I missed alot ... but I'm willing and ready to become who I need to be to help my kids be their best.. and also any other person or child that feels that deep wound of neglect or abuse daily ... it affects everything you do as you grow . . Still trying to find the way to healing , I already forgave. . But no longer will I let someone else's darkness cripple me.
