FINALLY! My first time hearing Coheed and Cambria! Vocal ANALYSIS of In Keeping Secrets of Silent E3

For years now, Coheed and Cambria has been on the top 5 patron poll options fairly consistently, but never won the poll? Winners like The Who, Alice In Chains, Fleetwood Mac, AC/DC, etc. always took the top prize. But sometimes, I have to feed that monster - that being our lovely patrons that have been pushing so long without a payoff. So, here we are with the first time I've ever heard Coheed and Cambria!
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Coheed and Cambria for the first time, performing "In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth pt. 3” Live!

Coheed and Cambria is criminally underrated.

They deserve more acclaim but thankfully they're not ignored.

[@MelancholieT]

I'm so happy that my campaigning finally paid off! Thanks to all the other Patrons who have voted for my varied Coheed suggestions over the last couple of years and put them in that top 5 enough that they caught Elizabeth's attention. I can't wait to watch this! ❤

[@Noromeoo]

Coheed is the only artist that makes me wish I could go back in time and experience them for the first time all over again. Thank you for your entertaining perspective and for not stopping the song when I thought you would. 😊

[@jontansgarage]

This. I remember I was listening to In keeping the secrets album while doing some college chemistry homework. I heard a few Coheed songs before but In Keeping the secrets of silent earth 3 came on and was immediately blown away. Hearing the chorus for the first time was insane and definitely wish I could experience it again. Seeing them live a few years ago and they played this was bliss.

[@ryanlegner9085]

They were the first band I saw on my first Warped Tour in 2003. There was probably 200 people in front of the stage, barely anyone knew who they were. They blew my mind. One of the most memorable 30 minutes of my life.

[@kingtudd]

I was blessed and lucky enough to see them at Troubadour pretty early on, buddy said he heard this band was pretty good. I was just shocked.

[@jeffpricemobile]

This. Yes. A thousand times this.

Literally just heard this song for the first time 2 days ago. I’m obsessed it’s been on repeat ever since

[@gp873]

Became a fan of Coheed in 2004 during my freshman year of high school and have been proudly a child of the fence since. The Starland ballroom set is SO SO GOOD. The way they are performing to the crowds energy is absolutely insane. I don’t think they’ve ever performed in Keeping Secrets this way where the tempo is much faster than the studio recording. Ahhh I freaking love Coheed. They are GOAT’s imo

[@aarondennis2285]

TRUTH!

[@AkiraTano]

His phrasing, while playing guitar, is off the charts. The live versions are usually eclipsed by the energy of the crowd so it's a worthwhile endeavor to check out the album versions of their music. Top 5 favorite band of all time.

[@genghisgalahad8465]

His prodigious phrasing and vocals were made for live, it feels! Even more than some big popular rock names! 🎤 🎉

[@sire_mg8956]

I completely agree. I think an album version is needed for review.

[@woofspider330]

The studio versions also usually have a higher harmony from Claudio, and a couple even have his blood curdling screams!

[@roadfordays]

Definitely need an album cut for analysis. Coheed may be proggy but it's like emo/post-punk prog, and their live shows are appropriately chaotic. Live performances are expected to be all over the place and out of tune. This band gets super precise and pretty when they get in the studio

[@mbii7667]

Yeah idk why she always picks the live video

[@johnandlarry]

Coheed and Cambria gigs are ALL SUPER FANS, it's such a unique experience and a complete and utter thrill. Everyone around you is in awe of how good they are, such a good fanbase of this band.

[@Nastyn1nja808]

lets goooo me too

[@silafirion]

I suggest checking out "A Favor House Atlantic" to get an idea of how comfortable he is in a high register. Also, in the studio recordings of songs, Claudio often will layer himself in some really complex harmonies and even little counter melodies and I suggest "The Suffering" for those types of things. And I'll happily admit that I've cried when I saw this live.

[@jjaakk7214]

The Suffering is their best song, vocally. I will not be persuaded otherwise.

I know I did. Literally had goosebumps when she stopped it there. 27:57

[@woofspider330]

I've heard this song a bunch, but I was still a little curious about which part you were talking about. I also got chills lol. I think it's that the whole crowd singing those OHs really gives a feeling of camaraderie, like we are all coming home.

[@Dr_Evil_Genius]

Facts.

[@Tio-Nino]

Really?

[@rgg6383]

Never heard this song before. I read this comment and I was actually waiting for that moment to see if what was the fuss about and as that section started I got chills haha. I need to listen to more Coheed, that's pretty similar in essence to the end of Welcome Home and I love that ending

[@noahDnewport]

The facial expressions during the outro says it all. The way her eyes went wide when she heard MAN YOUR OWN JACKHAMMER! Hearing that live is when my soul leaves my body and I ascend to another dimension. A Coheed show and Coheed fans are something truly special. There’s nothing else quite like it. I’m still riding the high from seeing them a year ago. I will be deeply in love with this band for the rest of my life.

[@williammorris6614]

I’m 59 years old - I’ve been in love with Coheed ‘ since the beginning - and The Amory Wars. Their music is so joyful, even when the song is about something not necessarily happy. I’ve been to their shows and moshed and sang and shouted with all the kids. More people need to experience the uplifting energy of this music!

[@agornath1]

I never heard of this band. I love what I heard. They gained a new fan.

[@timseguine2]

They have a lot of good songs that can be listened to as singles, but they are kind of a "listen to the whole album" kind of band for the full experience. A pretty accessible starting point for them is the album "Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness", but the album this song came from is also a good one. They are still making good albums, although I am less familiar with their newer stuff.

@timseguine2 yeah I 100% agree with you that they are definitely more of a listen to the whole album type of band.

[@jacksonbrickmedia939]

This is one of their earliest live performances and claudio’s live voice has somehow only gotten much better and stronger as the years have gone on

[@thingocandybeans]

I remember reading that he stopped smoking.

[@MikeGeney]

For real his breath control has only improved. I've seen them live twice now and those little moments where he stops singing because he's out of breath almost never happen now. Even when he's literally jumping across the stage while playing. it's crazy.

[@jameshuffman7676]

I was going to say, this isn't even a great live version of the song.

I've seen Coheed 6 times in concert. This song. This one song. The amount of power in the crowd during the chorus and in Claudio is so palpable. It beats almost every single concert experience I've ever had.

[@burkhardtdan]

So often your analysis brings me to tears- watching you see what I see and hear what I heard (and ALL of my friends) just brings me back through the first time I heard not just Coheed, but so so many of the other artists you analyze. Thank you for so MUCH for all of the joy!!!

[@ghgodsexposed]

His Mother Superior and Feathers acoustic versions are AMAZING and really showcase his vocal development over the years!

[@LiberalsArePoop]

Feathers is a fun video too - if I remember right, the whole band is comically murdered.

God, i love all my fellow Coheed nerds in this commend section. It's been awhile since I've heard this particular performance, and you can really tell how far Claudio has come with his voice nowadays.

[@cheefbc8596]

Yes yes and yes!!

[@SerHenkan]

Iron Fist, Taylor Guitars live version, is another great example. Even that's "old" by now though, they've done a ton of amazing and solid live stuff since then, come to think of it.

[@RobSTAR_IV]

Oh God Yes! Sentry the Defiant Acoustic is how I Live and Breathe!!!

[@tjlanglois1989]

They did an acoustic version of Thin Lizzy's Cowboy Song last time I saw them and it was pure perfection.

[@MitchthePunk2113]

I absolutely love this band, seen them 6 times live (once supporting Deftones), and I have the comics, deep into the lore, side projects etc. You've just given a whole new love for this song, breaking down the longing for coming home and then getting chills in the build up to the last chorus. Coheed are what we call in the UK a Marmite band. You either like them or you don't. I'm stoked that you enjoyed this, and hopefully it leads to more Coheed reviews.

[@chrisrecco3950]

I am a die hard Coheed fan and have seen them more times than I can count. The live performances are incredible and the fans create an amazing experience I've never felt before. Glad you chose this song. It really captures the energy

[@michaelvetrano3090]

I’ll admit I’m only an occasional viewer and I almost never comment on anything but if there’s a coheed reaction, I’m there. These guys are my all time favorite; Claudio Sanchez is an absolute legend and a huge inspiration for me. You wont be disappointed by diving into their music. Even though there is a fictional story behind most of their songs the lyrics still have lots of relatability and realism. Claudio has often said the songs start from a very real place and then he morphs them into fiction. All the other guys are great too and really bring the songs to life. Truly an awesome one of a kind band.

[@theamaranththeory]

For what it's worth, Claudio (lead vocals) has gotten *drastically* better as the years have gone on. This is a very early recording as he's still learning to carry himself live. I've seen them since 2003 every tour and he just gets tighter and more consistent every pass. This is a very rough demonstration of what he's capable of. Also, thank you for starting with one of my absolute favorite Co&Ca songs. You really tapped into some of the crying desperation in his tone that is so important to the song. Listen to their album work or more modern live performances if you really want to understand how he works his voice. This song, I still believe, is one of the best opening tracks of the modern era for their genre(s).

[@Tetarkall]

He's always been a fantastic vocalist, it's amazing to see how much better he's gotten!

[@parcipinof]

I first saw them in 2004 and his vocals were rough. I saw them again in 2006 and the difference was incredible. I imagine he only continued to improve since then.

[@MsSilentH]

Honestly, I'm surprised every time when I hear you talk about how someone sounds, and all the language that comes with it. I never took any voice lessons, so I never had the terms in my knowledge, but they make perfect sense when you also visually show us. And while I still couldn't describe someone's voice who is new to me using those terms on my own, I understand what you describe 100% for these videos, it really activates my mental visualization for it. It's just really cool that that is how voices can be described, especially when you talked about having resonance or a dome, or a forward, pressed voice etc.

[@kylemoran7852]

The moment you started getting chills is ALWAYS the most electrifying moment of being at a Coheed show.

@@Plemay Go with Album order. Second Stage Turbine Blade, In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3, Good Apollo 1, Good Apollo 2:No World for Tomorrow, Year of the Black Rainbow, Afterman Ascension/Decension, Color Before the Sun, Vaxis 1, Vaxis 2. IKSSE:3 and GA1 are considered their best by some. Some will say Aftermans. Color Before the Sun is considered to be worst by most. She kinda touched base on it in the video but Claudio has written a whole universe that corresponds with the songs. Mostly in comics, but there's a novel and some smaller literature pieces. SSTB through NWFT go over the main story. Black Rainbow is the prequel to that. Afterman is the prequel to everything pretty much. It's hard to explain. Then Vaxis saga is YEARS AND YEARS after No World. Color Before the Sun isn't part of the concept cause the band was dealing with some stuff and just wanted to express their emotions without the veil of the concept. THEN Claudio has a side project called Prize Fighter Inferno that deals with a major side character in story. Theres a lot there. If you're looking for a good group, look up Cobalt and Calcium on Facebook thats the officially unofficial fan group.

Of all the bands I've seen you cover since, this is the one I would LOVE to see a series for. Even though I've seen them many times, I haven't seen many live recordings that can live up to the experience, and the studio versions are sooo good (though if there was a live performance to watch for musicianship, it would definitely be final cut). Anyway, thanks for what you do and would love to see more Coheed on your channel in the future!

[@trevorscheer7544]

Not only do I love that you picked this particular song; I love that you picked a live version of it. And probably the best live version on KZbin. That ending part is simply magical and one of the best things I've ever witnessed in person. If I may, I'd recommend The Light & The Glass from this same exact show to get the full Claudio experience. Just a musician and his guitar playing (at the time) a brand new song by himself. It is extraordinary.

[@technoHippieGuy]

Willing Well! Willing Well! Willing Well! Willing Well! Do The Willing Well!!! Omg, like, I just can't say enough. Coheed deserves so much more acclaim than they get. Claudio is masterful, the entire group are musical geniuses. Did you know their music tells the story of their comic? It's like a soundtrack for the narrative. I will never get over how complex their artistry is. Coheed has played such an important role in the evolution of my understanding and appreciation for musical expression. Every song is a whirlwind of emotion, exploring the depths of the soul, of what it means to be human. Concepts relating to psychology, faith, suffering, conflict, hope, and so much more. The older I get, and the more music I'm exposed to, the more I recognize that Coheed is and always will be one of the greatest of all time.

[@kylecreelman136]

We need to start upvoting the heck out of this comment!

[@mikeydubbs8565]

Which one, though? I’d recommend III; biased opinion, it’s my favorite Co&Ca song, besides Neverender and The Gutter

[@technoHippieGuy]

@@mikeydubbs8565 I'd agree on Part III if she only did one, but I'm hopeful she'll do the full 4-part 30 minutes. It deserves the respect, lol. But yeah, III is definitely the one to go with if you could only pick one. Or if she'd be willing to do II and III, that would at least give a better sense of the full set.

[@justapatriot6078]

"The Willing Well III: Apollo II: The Telling Truth" for sure

[@Washanuga]

God, I really wish any react person would just listen to the Willing Well suite as one piece. All I ever see is Welcome Home and occasionally this song when it comes to older Coheed.

[@Valaran1]

I first saw Coheed in D.C. almost 10 years ago. They opened with this song, and the energy in the room was like a bomb went off. Definitely one of the most memorable concert moments I've ever experienced.

[@KrayzieStiles]

10 years ago would have been their Neverender tour for IKSSE:3. I saw them 3 years later during GA1's Neverender but luckily this was one of the couple songs they performed after they finished GA1. Their live performances are truly a blessing to witness in person.

[@spacemoose200]

I saw them live at warped tour 9-10 years ago and had the same experience. This song, the suffering, and blood red summer all had the crowds going crazy lol

[@RyanWhipple]

9:30 club? That’s where I first saw them too, maaaybe around that time frame as well

[@SkorpioMusic]

I'm sure I was somewhere in that crowd with you! I've seen them every time they came to the DC, MD, VA area since the mid 2000s. Always an amazing show!

[@KingMeowgi92]

I was at that show too!!

[@Noroimasu9]

They put on the best concerts! So energetic and passionate! Freaking love them!

[@the_havoc_collection]

My only complaint is in the 3 times I've seen them live, they've only spoken to the audience once, and that was because medics were dealing with a seizure in the crowd.

[@idiotonparade]

This is my first time seeing one of your videos so for a while, i couldn't tell if you liked it or not for the first bit. Coheed has been my absolute favorite band for most of my life. Im so glad theyre getting some of the attention they deserve. Claudio is OOZING with talent and creativity.

[@t3hi84n2g]

when they go back into the intro.... there is NOTHING like this moment live.. Ive seen them play a few times and the crowd energy during this, during 'Man your own Jackhammer!' is incredible. The crowd can get so loud you cant hear the vocals.

[@joshshultz1250]

It's like Bro Hymn Tribute. There's almost no point in Pennywise singing during the chorus.

[@MrTolarindr]

I've seen them live 4 times, and i fully support this comment. there is a level of crowd energy thats never been matched in any other concert i've been to.

[@codyglasson8695]

Absolutely insane honestly. I can only think of one other time at a live show where I felt the exact same thing. Coheed live is a must for everyone.

[@ColieBear18]

Seeing them live is one of the best concert experiences I've ever had. They're so good

[@TheMortician]

They played in Ft Wayne a couple years back and there was multiple times he stopped singing because we kept over powering him. He had the biggest smile that entire show, it was awesome

[@dextersreeflab]

They are such musical perfectionists. Saw them in 2003 when this album came out at the Newport in Columbus Ohio. They melted everyones faces off for well.over an hour and the last song, they got a few stanzas in and Claudio just stopped mid song and started saying damn guys Im so sorry. I messed up a bit back there and it has been just such a perfect show I didnt want to end on that note. They then started back at the beginning and rocked it. Nobody woulsve known he messed up but they love their fans so much and want to give us our money's worth. Forever fan after that night.

[@Dr0fnad]

The "whoa oh" section towards the end still gives me chills live and watching videos, 20 years later. The house lights come up, the whole crowd goes absolutely insane. I have dedicated my entire left arm to this band in tattoos of the comic characters, album art, and lyrics. Please do more Coheed videos. There is so much to dive into here.

[@prgx52]

i get goosebumps every time i hear this song, and it has been over 20 years now I think

[@prgx52]

their albums are really good, they add so many layers that you just do not get in the live performances. I have seen them live like 4 times now haha, they are my favorite band

[@hardickmcfondle2956]

There is nothing like seeing them live with an amazing fanbase behind this end of the song.. You'll get chills every time. If you have the chance.. do it.. you won't regret it.

[@zinger565]

There is nothing like the energy of this song live. It's just indescribable

[@RobSTAR_IV]

I don’t feel an ounce of shame to say The Best Fanbase Of All Time!

[@spiderman4x]

@@RobSTAR_IVI’m fairly new to the Coheed world and I heard a lot of negative things about the base but after a dozen a shows and two Coheed cruises I can tell you there’s not a more chill fan base. Some more intense than others but it’s always been a great experience.

[@dcaf94]

I'd say "I agree" but simply agreeing doesn't do it justice. You're spot on. Coheed puts on indescribable shows. I'll never forget the 2014 Neverender tour-it was my first time seeing them, and they did IKSSE3 for it. Opening with this song, with a sold-out, 5000-person crowd singing along, HAUNTS me. Top-3 live performance among the many hundreds of shows I've been to.

[@RobSTAR_IV]

@@dcaf94 MAN YOUR OWN JACKHAMMERS!!!

[@TimedRevolver]

The lead singer has another project called The Prize Fighter Inferno. That project and this band are both tied into his series The Amory Wars. Their album titles are usually the titles of each Amory Wars volume. It's a pretty neat thing he's done. Dude's also just a chill, nice guy. EDIT: Claudio's vocal range is pretty insane. Especially in songs like 'A Favor House Atlantic' and 'Blood Red Summer'.

[@fastmolasses3598]

[@tkninja2]

FINALLY was able to see them live this summer and OMG! Head and shoulders above most live rock performances. Anyway this and other songs are of course amazing but for someone’s first time Welcome Home is the go to. It’s a masterpiece.

[@edwinpoole257]

my favorite song of all time from my favorite band of all time. so happy you did this

[@youngrootv]

I will never forget that I was teen at Warped Tour crowd surfing to Coheed and Cambria as they were playing Welcome Home! Such a great band that doesn’t get enough recognition today!

[@_zind]

My very first time ever hearing them was at a Warped Tour and it was kinda magical. I hadn't really heard of them but they played the stage slot right before AFI (which was the big show I was there for) so I was just there so I could get a good spot close to the stage after their set. I think I skipped NOFX for it and it ended up being a great decision, they put on a hell of a show.

[@youngrootv]

@@_zind they really did man! Warped Tour was an era for sure. I went in Charlotte to see Killswitch Engage, Gym Class Heroes, Paramore, Underoath and more! What a time for music!

[@Largeincharge]

I’ve watched this performance probably 1000x and I get chills at that part literally every time.

[@babykermie]

how did i miss this?? my favorite band, i’ve been hoping you would react to them for so long! claudio has one of the most unique and powerful voices ive ever heard!

[@kdindore1990]

Literally my favorite band of all time. So happy to see you reacting to them. Claudio Sanchez is such an insanely talented man.

[@JCK-gi2gm]

🤯Completely🤯Blown🤯Away🤯in the best possible way. It's been decades since I've had a musical experience/revelation even close to what I just experienced with this group, and I've been actively listening to a broad international spectrum since getting my first 45 in 1963. Damn, I need another lifetime just to wrap my arms around their sound, lyrics, and production. Thank you @MelancholieT and Elizabeth so very much. I never thought I'd feel something like this again. Now I know a tiny bit how Lazarus must have felt🤣

[@ColieBear18]

I'm so happy to hear this!! Coheed is easily one of my favorite bands. Check out their discography!

[@katawna4241]

Welcome to the fan club! They’re absolutely otherworldly. My favorite song is The Suffering

[@rolandwebster3687]

LETS GOOOOOO! Having seen them live many times, this song is the fan anthem for sure. Nothing compares to the energy of being in the crowd at a Coheed show for me.

[@TylerSampson51]

You’re goddamn right!

[@stycks32]

Welcome Home has an amazing energy live as well. That song is a damn genuine rock/metal anthem. You can’t help but get hyped when that song starts playing and the drums come to life.

I will 100% keep watching you if there is possibly more Coheed in the future! ❤

[@brocktrease3021]

Finally. I remember the first time I heard these guys cause it’s was so different. Please do more

[@jesseseogeek]

You mentioned getting chills at the crowd chant moment. I'm the exact same way. I've seen them live 6 times and every single time this part happens I get chills and tear up. It's such an emotional moment in the song.

[@TheMortician]

Biiiiiiiiiig same. Especially in a indoor venue where it just echoes. So good!

Yep. Screaming Man Your Own Jackhammer is a religious experience.

[@jesseseogeek]

I've never been to any other live show where the audience so thoroughly overpowers the band in terms of volume. No speakers can compete with thousands of people screaming their lungs out in perfect unison. That shit is transcendent.

[@laurencemayshroom5940]

Amazing you recognised that moment!! Because it is a moment all Coheed fans cherish from their live shows! And yes it is just as electrifying in person!!!

[@amywenmoth9396]

[@RiskyPizza]

Ive had the pleasure to see them live 7 times. Most recent time was last year and it was by far the best the vocals have been. Their live performances have come a long way!

[@notarealchannel6537]

C&C albums should all be listened to in their entirety and really in one sitting. The concerts are not just a greatest hits list, and they truly play the albums from start to finish. When I was a teen, I listened to Blink 182, Lincoln Park and more commercial music. It was once I hit senior year in high school that I heard Delirium Trigger and I have been hooked ever since. Forever expanded my ideas of what music could be.

[@DeadWirePromotions]

Linkin*

[@JWLuiza]

They do both full album concerts but their bigger tours are a mix of songs from different eras. The album play-through concerts are awesome though. They also have a cruise which I have not been to yet.

[@chadthunderkawk7090]

They are the only band where I pick an album to listen to rather than a song. Neverender shows are the absolute best.

[@Palinckx5907]

The song "The willing well pt IV the final cut" is one of my favorite songs. The live performance is called just "the final cut," and it's amazing.🎉 Happy new year everybody.

[@eldiandevil7485]

That chill at the end of this song never goes away.

[@leonel8831]

Hell yeah! This band is the reason I became a drummer! I was 11 years old when I heard this album. Blew me away! Been a fan since.

[@jleighwolfe]

One of the greatest bands of all time, please do more!

[@emericanmm]

Every element of every Coheed song is intentional based on the part of the story they are telling. Listening to their albums from beginning to end is a really cool experience.

[@CaliFlahive]

It wasn't, though. At least for the first two or three records. The lyrics came first, based on nonsense syllables Claudio sang to put the vocal melodies to tape. The comics and the story came later, and the story was written to fit the lyrics.

[@xurben1]

Yeah, no..

[@kingchuckfinley]

Man…. Beautiful music makes me cry. That’s why I love the way you feel music. You can see the love and admiration and emotion on your face.

[@clifftheconference51]

This is my favorite band. They are absolutely amazing. I'm so glad you finally checked them out.

[@Adamas_83]

Been my favorite band since 2004 when I discovered them. These guys are artists in every sense of the word. The concept band storytelling, the lyricism, the crazy vocal range and the soundstage of these guys has never failed to impress. I second others here in saying - please do a studio version of one of the songs from the first three albums and you'll see even more of what Claudio is capable of.

[@doesntmatter2744]

My all time favorite band, my all time favorite song and my favorite version of it. I've seen them every time they've come to the Phoenix/ Arizona area and even and to California for the IKSOSE 3 10 year release tour where they played this album in its entirety. Every time I hear this song live it has an energy in the crowd I can't explain except pure energy, lightning in a bottle. The flood of emotions it brings and all the goosebumps beings me to tears. Being in the crowd when the chants start is wild, we all become 1 among the fence. Words can't describe the feelings you get in the crowd during this song. Thank you for covering this!

[@SpreeTX]

I have been waiting so long for you to fall down the Coheed rabbit hole. I’ve always thought of them as my generation’s Rush.

[@MCRmyVeteren]

Can't tell you how excited I got seeing this video pop up!!!

[@Spooky_Dave_]

Such a great band and they are so incredible to see live. I've gone to well over 20 shows and am never disappointed!

[@mattmessina2090]

It's better to listen and explore their studio stuff. They play with so much energy that they don't always play as consistently and tight as their studio work. Their albums display their songwriting genius.Their concerts demonstrate their passion and energy.

[@linktechjjb]

Very well said! Claudio is never perfect live, but he is always exciting!

[@RemarkableSean]

Though they are stunningly close to flawless live. They have live recordings to prove it. Really dialed it in since the earlier days with Mic on bass.

[@caxe7]

I might be biased but they sound better live than a lot of bands in their space / tangential spaces. Coheed and letlive (rip) were the closest to studio I've found, maybe thank you scientist? But I've only seen them once but remember loving it

[@RemarkableSean]

@@caxe7 yup!

[@thomasbrown8462]

Tbh nowadays they're about as tight and clean a band as you'll find. Back in this Neverender they weren't as clean, but they're so damn sharp live as they've got older, it's actually pretty remarkable considering the technicality of the music.

[@Porco1984]

One among the Fence. Yes! I've been waiting so long for Coheed and Cambria to be featured on here. Big fan of this band since 2008, where I had the pleasure to see them live at Voxhall in Århus, Denmark. One of my most cherished concert memories ❤

[@PapaBPoppin]

OMG That's the BEST thing ever 4/5 of the way through the video. Deep analysis. Discovering the majesty that is IMMENSE tallent packaged into so few people Again 4/5 thru, and Claudio's hair is finally noticed So deeply locked in the auditory discretion that his defining visual aesthetic (like a good cartoon character, he's immediatly recognizable from just his silhouette) is noticed mid 3rd act xD I am so happy you got to experience this, and we were here for the first time! Absolutely magical ❤❤

[@JoelER78]

Simply amazing, thank you Elizabeth!

[@james.d.fowler]

Honestly, I think Claudio's singing has improved a lot over time. He's overcome some serious health limitations and practiced a lot over the years, and it shows in his performances. Definitely check out some of the more recent songs, like Ghost, Old Flames, or The Window of the Waking Mind.

[@crashkamio5819]

I 100% agree! He's always been solid but ever since the Afterman albums he's done nothing but get better and better. His voice is phenomenal now. One of the few vocalists who get better with age. Id put him in the same category as Devin Townsend with how good he is now and how he just gets better and better. I'd LOVE to hear her thoughts on Window of the Waking Mind. He uses a lot of voices on that song. And it seems up her alley with how theatrical it is.

[@thorne1239]

I know that the last album wasn't everyone's cup of tea, but I loved it. I think it showed how far they've come as songwriters and artists. Window of the Waking Mind is an unexpected, genre-bending, incredibly accomplished piece of art. One of the best things I've heard in years.

[@finding7]

Their mix of Emo and Post-hardcore with Progressive rock is masterful. I’ve heard them compared to Rush talent wise more than a few times. And hearing Claudio’s voice live is unbelievable. Please do more post-hardcore and Emo bands. Whole genres of rock full of dramatic intense energy like this, layered harmonizing screams with clean vocals, and goosebump moments that need to be experienced to fully round out your exploration into distorted vocals and rock music.

[@rgg6383]

I've only heard 2 songs Coheed and until this song I never realized that they do have Emo in their sound. Claudio's voice actually reminded me of the vocalist of a band I used to listen called Armor For Sleep. They both have that high winy voice (not meant as an insult, I actually like it), but Claudio is a way better singer.

[@doomfable3378]

He sang on a cover version of Anthem (from Rush) on Two Minutes to Late Night. Fit the song very well.

[@Pezcore96]

Just got tickets to see them this summer and came across this video. Love to see a breakdown of Claudio. Thank you

[@coolbeans483]

Omgomgomgomg yesssss. Finally!!!!! Seeing them is INCREDIBLE

[@Hebes24]

So glad you're finally getting to Coheed! This video and song is great, but if you'd like something more recent to follow up with I have a few recommendations: The Dark Sentencer (Live) - Official live performance of another excellent progressive song meant as the intro to one of their recent album "The Unheavenly Creatures" Domino The Destitute (Official Music Video) - Another prog banger, whose official music video really shows off the story behind the song. The Pavilion (A Long Way Back) - a shorter and less intense song, and a great performance from Claudio. Thanks for everything you do! Love the content. 😃
