Last Warped set I saw Chiodos at, Jag from A Skylit Drive was doing guest vocals, and if it's any indication of how bad Craig was doing - Jag was out-singing him. And we all know about his live voice.

Exactly how I feel.

I think Craig is an excellent marketer, but I don't think he's a particularly good singer. Outside of a few songs, I've always had a really hard time getting into much Chiodos pre-Illuminaudio; Craig's voice is always too shrill and too off-key for my tastes. I'm really bummed that the band's reunion with him will probably be the one thing that gets them back in the spotlight and the one thing that makes me lose interest in them.

I think he sounds damn good in 'a letter for janelle'. stoked for the new record. that recent AP article on them was a good read as well.

These videos definitely are not up to par with when I've seen him before

He sounds better when plugged in with the full band.

These acoustic songs do no justice.

People like this band.

Craigs voice was definitely not meant for acoustic...

He's still better than Bolmer.

Bolmer can hit notes live and doesn't annoy the crap out of me, so we'll agree to disagree on that.

Did you ever see him with Yesterday's Rising? So good.

I'll admit I've never heard yesterdays rising. Best song?

Technically it would be a 4th time.

1. Thermacare demo
2. D.R.U.G.S got the rights to the lyrics - turned it into The Only Thing You Talk About
3. Chiodos got the rights to the music - turned it into Stratovolcano Mouth

Sounds like Craig has allergies... same story here. Usually he's extremely good, in any form, live. I am going to Dirtfest on Saturday, and hopefully he is up to par.

Huh. "Thermacare." "Volcanomouth" be damned.

I never liked "A Letter from Janelle" much at all.

Need Brandon back.
