Hahaha, the other day I had 51 news posts in a row. I don't sleep too much so there's really nothing better for me to do at this time then post news, and watch porn.

[Greg]

the halifax one isnt working... :(

[Greg]

does anyone else's SF video seem out of synch or something for the first verse. it just sounds and looks weird.....

Haha. Youre not into all that nasty kinky stuff are you? ewww....... :sick: :whip: :la:.....just kidding by the way

[RJ Proof]

yep, thats all it is

[RockVocalPower]

Senses Fail should hang it up..horrible performance.

It looks like Conan was covering his ears at 1:21 of the video.

why should they "hang it up?" when they still manage to sell out shows and have more and more kids listen to them every day?

HA!

Exactly!

I've seen Senses Fail a few times around here there were a couple of times when they performer really well. Buddy just has a hard time with the singing sometimes but if you get him on a good night it's enjoyable performance for sure.

[nfggc10]

I can't get the Days Away video to download.

[poppa Q]

Yes sir. Catch Buddy on a good singing night, you're in for a great show. As evident in the 'Rum' video on Conan, Buddy isn't always on the right foot while the rest of the band is.

I understand where your coming from. Sort of. But, Senses Fail is a good band. Have you ever seen them live anywhere else besides Conan? They are fucking amazing on stage.

[Greg]

seriously now... what is up with the first verse of SF? it sounds like he is mumbling words......

[RockVocalPower]

I understand where your coming from. Sort of. But, Senses Fail is a good band. Have you ever seen them live anywhere else besides Conan? They are fucking amazing on stage.

I saw them on the Drive Thru Invasion Tour and they were bad then. If you're unable to play your songs well, you shouldn't be playing shows. And thrashing and jumping around doesn't cover up for a shoddy performance.

[Nate_RAWKS]

I agree but i've actually seen him on a couple good nights and it was a good performance. Nothing phenomenal but worthy of my $20 for sure.

[ChristopherT]

Nerves. When Coheed played on TV for the first time, Jimmy Kimell, I think, they sounded terrible. Claudio sang like a fucking crow. But, then, after they settled into a groove, they sounded wonderful. Imagine being a fucking kid in front of the entire country. It's pretty scary if you've never done it before. Besides, these guys aren't rock stars, they're regular duded like you and me. Give em a break.

exactly, just because he has a good night every now and then, that doesn't really cover up the fact that he's not a very good vocalist with some slick polish placed on his recorded vocals. senses fail are a talented band, but buddy should seriously look into vocal lessons. i don't mean that as an insult, i'm saying it would probably help. vinnie from the movielife took vocal lessons before they recorded '40 hour train..' and his voice sounded incredible recorded and live. you're never too old...

and if he has taken vocal lessons, then i'm not sure how much hope there is for him. i guess if kids want to continue listening to the slick vocal polish and auto tone on the album and then ignore his poor vocal ability live, then hey, by all means...

[Soolastsummer5]

why should they "hang it up?" when they still manage to sell out shows and have more and more kids listen to them every day?

that doesnt mean they play good music.

[PaulsRightNut]

Wow, they sounded way worse than usual. Maybe it was all their new salon treatments they had, like the highlights getting to the brains or something.

[spitfire6647]

it sounds like he forgot the words in the first verse, but ive seen them play that song 3 or 4 times live fine, at the tsunami show senses fail was awesome

I agree it wouldn't hurt. He should look into it before going in the studio for their next album. I'd like to hear how much it helps. I mean when he sings his voice is pretty good. I mean i like it.

[Soolastsummer5]

haha look at how small buddy is compared to conan. maybe conan is just huge.

[Greg]

yea vinnie from TML was not the best singer on "has a gambling problem"
but on 40 hour he was really good


and i still like sf. but damn. buddy take some lessons man...(not that im any better)

[verybarrywhyte]

Yes sir. Catch Buddy on a good singing night, you're in for a great show. As evident in the 'Rum' video on Conan, Buddy isn't always on the right foot while the rest of the band is.
Or maybe he just temporarily changed the lyrics to "blah blah blah bu buh bub shore"

Screw vocal lessons. Hire someone to write the lyrics.

[verybarrywhyte]

haha look at how small buddy is compared to conan. maybe conan is just huge.
Conan is like 6'3

[kissbangkill]

hahahahahahahahaha.

the phrasing on that was great.

[tran in japan]

lol Conan looks huge compared to every special guest. Hes very tall. Especially for an Irishman. I would know.

[tran in japan]

I dunno. Im not really going to take any sides with this one. They do have some bad shows. I made myself sick from listening to Let It Enfold You too much. I still dont mind them though. When i saw them live they were good. Still though, all that trashing does help. It gives them great stage presence. If they could touch up the music portion of their performances id be in complete happiness. :dweeba2:

[joevember]

lol Conan looks huge compared to every special guest. Hes very tall. Especially for an Irishman. I would know.
Of course he is huge. Hes like six six . Which leaves him with a big...............:asshole:

[joevember]

J/k

[verybarrywhyte]

lol Conan looks huge compared to every special guest. Hes very tall. Especially for an Irishman. I would know.
And he also has 3 feet of hair.

[poopie pants]

actually i think the performance was really really good for them besides the mess up with the vocals at the beginning. If you notice the band is dead on....he probably just had gotten really nervous right before they played..which i could only imagine what that feels like.

p.s. (if you know about recording.....there actually is pretty much NO autotune on their cd. So he can definitely sing those parts.

[Patt364]

um, thats what I thought, maybe he was nervous.

[abbreviation]

I missed that Conan episode with Senses Fail...but anyways, SF looked so nervous. They also looked really presentable like all nice and shit. and I'd have to say, it was refreshing. Mike even straightened his hair. haha

[myyellowcomb]

that doesnt mean they play good music.
did i say they did? no.
what i said was, there is no reason they should stop making/playing music if kids are enjoying it. great, you think it sucks; go make your own music and lets see you become as successful as senses fail.

[tran in japan]

And he also has 3 feet of hair.


haha. I wish that cocky son of a bitch could see everybody making fun of him...just kidding though. Conan is the man!! :lol2:

[Nate_RAWKS]

I find the sound always sucks on Conan they need a new sound guy or a new buidling one or the two.

[poppa Q]

I find the sound always sucks on Conan they need a new sound guy or a new buidling one or the two.

yeah that's true. and i like your new avator.

[Nate_RAWKS]

yeah that's true. and i like your new avator.

Thanks!!!

It's a picture i took of Downtown L.A.

[alxneindecember]

Can't find the video, all i see is lady in a blue dress

[s[K]iSo]

if any of you have some good fast/stable webspace to donate even 50 mb free accounts or stuff like that without traffic limits please, i know for example .mac accounts are great, contact me at skiso@punkrockvids.com :(

[Jared Kaufman]

1) Buddy told me he messed up the first verse hence why it sounds the way it does

2) Buddy doesn't use auto tone.

Cool Thanks for the update! :guitar: Rock on!

My friends an Irishman hes 6'2"

When Tegan and Sara were on Conan last week (i think?) he looked like a monster compared to the size of Tegan and Sara haha they were literally under his belt line or something haha

[allupforsale]

i can't download from punkrockvids, whats the deal? anyone else having this problem? please AIM me at wereallupforsale if you can help me out! i tried netscape and IE, both are not working

[muzik4lyf5000]

Buddy sounds like he has down syndrome

[SePaMc]

well, to give credit to other bands, I was at this halifax show...it was in support of Sugarcult and Still Life Projector.

They are definitely an awesome band, and the guy covering bass right after the fallout did awesome. Too bad the crowd wasn't too into em. Definitely wanna check em out when they have a full length and people are there to see them...Should be a great show.

[SePaMc]

Buddy sounds like he has down syndrome

And that is definitely messed up dude. It's offensive, and people have already said he didn't sound great. However, past the first verse it sounds fine....

What would it sound like if u were (assuming u are young like them) put on TV in front of a national audience to sing when u are used to club tours, and Warped as youur biggest tour? It would cause problems...don't insult others by dropping comments like that.

Grow up

get some humor in your life.I realize they're not the first to sound shitty remember coheeds preformance. it was a joke cry about it

[Sureshot182]

ah, punkrockvids is so great. yeah, the senses fail performance was a little fucked up at the beginning, but the guitars sounded great on the whole song.

[Pooavenger]

i really like Senses Fail, but that performance was pretty bad.

[myyellowcomb]

i, along like mostly everyone else in this thread saw nothing wrong with the performance except the very beginning.

[xsavesthelinex]

I like Senses Fail alot. I do admit that Buddy's vocals are not spectacular live. But bands must realize that when they record a cd proffesionally (use autotune, compress the vocals) that live the vocals will sound thinner than they do on the Cd. And to the person that said they didn't use auto tune on Let it Enfold you, thats bullshit. If autotune is done correctly, you don't realize that it is being used. I like Buddy's voice, i think it works with the music, but he dosen't have a "good voice" and im positve they used auto tune on alot of parts, most bands in this genre do.

[JohnnyUtah]

I enjoy Senses Fail on CD, and live the guitars and Drums are tight, but Buddy Really suffers from Adam Larazza Syndrome Live.

I understand about autotune and all the little tricks and things for recorded vocals, but shit you can only look past it for so long, it really hurts the performance as a whole.

Also, was the whole first verse Ad-libbed?

[poopie pants]

i know about autotune cause i do recordings myself. You can tell it's in brief spots on the cd occassionally. But if you own any Steve Evetts records (ie Saves the Day - Thru Being Cool, Glassjaw - Everything about silence, Static Lullaby, etc. etc.).....none of them really have any autotune on it. That's the reason bands go with him...he's got more of a natural and still raw feeling to his records. If you wanna know autotune listen to any john feldman record

Just outa curiosity, Feldman is a producer correct? and what has he produced?

[xsavesthelinex]

Feldman has produced: Showoff, Mest, The Used, Unloco, Story of the Year, and the last few Goldfinger Records. I think Feldman is an awesome producer, he comes up with mind blowing special affects, and makes all of his bands sound dope. From what I hear, he also does alot of writing with the bands he works with.

The only downside to working with him, is having to back it up live. Which I have not seen done, with the exception of mest. He has a very slick style, some would prefer a more raw feel, but it's just preference.

[The Silencer]

I am just in awe of the Days Away performance, they deserve such a bigger crowd than that, and it's really disappointing to see, especially since they are so amazing live.

[getawayvanmike]

I understand where your coming from. Sort of. But, Senses Fail is a good band. Have you ever seen them live anywhere else besides Conan? They are fucking amazing on stage.

No, they are not amazing on stage. They were the most un "tight" national band I have ever seen. And buddy is just terrible live, easily one of the biggest let downs. The rest of the band wasnt that bad on conan, but buddy just flat out sucked and the bass player's screaming was pretty bad too.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Buddy sounded terrible and his hair looked like shit and the bass player's vocals didn't fit well into the mix. On the other hand, I really liked the guitar work and I thought the drums sounded pretty good too. This band really just needs another vocalist and they'd be good IMO.

Five minute Ride are amazing....great local band

[piaffeprncess98]

Yay, a Halifax video. Very cool.
