Trapt - Headstrong (acoustic)

Trapt made another visit to Studio East. They gave us another performance of Headstrong.

[@Hambs]

I remember the first time I heard an acoustic version of this song on the radio I was driving around with a friend back in like ~2002 and we both started laughing hysterically. I keep coming back to this every time i need a laugh, so cheers for that

[@lonniesands1716]

The first time I heard it I was also driving! We were headed back to the dorm and we also were laughing historically! A deer ran across the street and I swerved off the road to hit it in hopes that I would never have to experience this agin!

[@pandelisbellos152]

the singer is looking at the mic like he wants to eat it.....

I don't know what all the hate is i think this is a good acoustic version of this song.

[@what-the-eff-jeff]

The acoustic version of Headstrong nobody asked for.

[@Spailon]

i mean what other song should they do an acoustic for lol

[@necessaryJustice_4all]

Weird...bc I specifically searched for it-too. 🤔

[@christinewalker7759]

But amazing ❤

[@Christine_Lawson]

Beautiful ❤

[@harrisonsmith6313]

This is somewhat sad...

[@AINGELPROJECT667]

Interesting fact: Trapt composes all of their songs on acoustic guitars first, then records with the heavier rock elements. That's why all their songs sound so awesome in both styles.

Raider Joe interesting fact: you are gay af

[@mojolito]

It sounds like someone is trying to play a rock riff on an acoustic. Probably why it sounds like shit.

[@CrumCringle]

​@@mojolito dont be a hater it doesn't sound the worst

[@RagnarokCo]

@@CrumCringle I like hearing the difference but this sounds extremely different. If I heard this on acoustic first I would not be confident in releasing this as a single. With that said, I still feel like the lyrics come through strong.

[@chickenandrice5763]

I thought that was billy ray Cyrus playing the bongos o.o

[@alanmcclung1154]

Thanks Anthony, now I feel headstrong and ready to take on anyone

is it just me or does he have a large mouth?

this really made me laugh hahahaha

[@diegoipl]

Dont know what the f everyone was talking about here, awesome performance!!

[@tyleranderson6533]

I didn’t think this song could get any worse...

[@SHADOWBLAZIKEN1]

the drummer is freakin huge!

[@ogbee9690]

This is really good acoustic I don't know wtf you guys are talking about.

[@cainbattersby]

Totally agree

[@TheyWrechedTheWrech]

Youre insane

[@Hi-ov5nj]

haha He delivers it like he's doing some super complex singing..but it's just slightly above mid-tier.

[@districtboard3750]

It’s low tier

Some songs are better if left in the original version untouched. This is one of them.

[@stellarmusic8677]

awesome

[@benjutsu]

just listen to it on .5 speed, you're welcome

[@Zombie_Strings]

right.... .75 is better

[@jaytrax34]

bro that makes it worse lmao

[@Puntobaby1]

This song sounds better acoustically when the singer is playing guitar and singing by himself.

[@CrumCringle]

Damn so many haters on the comments. This is pretty cool

[@puckdropper27]

when it sounds this good unplugged.. you know it is the real fkn deal.. brilliant

[@skullykarli]

Eu gostei, força para os caras!

[@mohawk081270]

This sounds amazing! They sound great live, and in studio. One of the best bands ever i would say.

[@fabioantonio4688]

cool!!!!

[@halimoahmed2529]

This is just one of those songs that isn't good acoustic

[@thetubbsohio]

to me its just because when bands do these performances on the radio stations usually the lead singers microphones volume is 10x higher than the instruments and sounds terrible. . imagine that hummingbird being turned up all the way, i think that would make it bad ass. ... also i think the lead singers know theyre drowning out there own band , so they tone there voice down a little throws it all off....

[@jasoncook2294]

thetubbsohio I totaly agree here, you can barely hear that drum, barely hear the guitar compared to the singing! I usually like acoustic better.

[@tylerroerick6357]

Jason Cook that's not trapt's fault. That's the fault of whoever is running the soundboard. They didn't mic the drums properly and they need to turn down vocals and the trebble on the guitar, and turn up the bass a little.

[@Aatugo]

Halimo Ahmed I know I'm some years but there's a version on KZbin I heard a while back and it sounds friggen great.

[@krisbaldwin]

This is just one of those songs that isn't good. period.

[@KCfan027]

used to love this song. since listening to this version i have deleted this entire band from everything i own. simply terrible.

[@CynicEidolon]

That seems a bit extreme.

[@nicholasholmes-siedle5119]

I f~~kin love this ! Yes it's not an acoustic number .So they did it anyhow! I love that it's not perfect It's real . Go and listen to some autotuned Justin Bieber shit if that's your bag !

[@dngrouscrgo]

Don't know what everyone here's saying about his voice, that guitar tone on the other hand...

[@dimebrad2760]

I was thinking the singer sounds good but guitars definitely weak.

[@JapiCustoms]

For some reason Headstrong remember me my Emo Puberty when i was on full playing MK , RE4 and Silent Hill 2

[@harlilawson8038]

I love this version ;)

[@wyattlawson56]

how could you rip on this, acoustic is way harder to do than the the original and in my opinion this is awesome.

[@CassThaProphet]

Acoustic exposes if a singer is actually good or not

[@wyattlawson56]

You are correct. Not a great vocal performance.

[@cancerfaceless9108]

It's a good one what d'you f say?

[@jamesgadinski7161]

good lifting song, very responsible for kicking some ass when i was a young man.

[@JLSTKD12]

This is great good shit.

[@user-tv9vd1vz6p]

Nice song!

[@57wookie]

@Apollo04103 I don't know, even though the sound is different the more vocal focused approach works for this song and the guitar isn't terrible

[@Tfmusicmaker]

he is singing fine. it definitely bad mixing. his voice is set way to high i hear reverb but not enough echo no pun intended. the bongos were a bad choice. a snare box would have been better. the balance is way off. he is a descent singer the band is in time. its mixing and this song should not be done in acoustic without more alterations.

[@ZeCockOfTheWalk]

that is a djembe, and he isn't playing it right. a cajon, or snare box as you call it, might be better, but if dude doesn't know how to playy a djembe, i hold little hope for a cajon. and your assessment that the song needs more 'alterations' is dumb. acoustic versions are meant to be raw and not overly processed. good day.

[@Tfmusicmaker]

+ZeCockOfTheWalk wellI have my opinion and thats your opinion. its just music and not that big of a deal.

[@alextmumumum]

Hes better then decent...watch more of him singing live hes defintley great at singing.
