      stochastic24 neither, but there’s been a few incidents that people have called him out for. 1 is for smoking weed on a Skype lesson and refusing to teach his student how to actually play, 2 is his backstage ego where a fan got invited backstage by a roadie and Thomas Pridgen played the ‘who the fuck is this guy?’ card and made him look like an idiot. There’s more stories but he really does sound like a tool

    Considering the unavoidable fidelity drop in a live performance, I think they did well here. Cedric doesn't sound identical to the album cut, but without studio post-processing he couldn't possibly match that sound. He still manages to hit the right notes and doesn't pussy out of doing the tough falsettos; the only possible complaint being that his voice doesn't cut through the instrumentals as well as the album cut -- the aforementioned unfair criticism.

    • @Wheelio
      @Wheelio 8 лет назад +7

      He's just not that great of a singer. People foolishly assume that being able to hit high notes makes you great, but if you can't even stay in key in the higher ranges then it's pointless.

    • @michaelmetcalfe4882
      @michaelmetcalfe4882 6 лет назад +9

      What Wheelio said plus Ced was always pushing his voice beyond what it is comfortably capable of. You can do that in a studio with plenty of warm milk and rest periods between takes but live, with day upon day of 40+ minute sets in clammy, hot rooms it's bound to take a toll. He probably sounded pretty good on the first song of the first set of a tour, and it'd be an uphill battle from there.

    • @Aurongroove
      @Aurongroove 5 лет назад +7

      @@michaelmetcalfe4882 In fairness, for studio recording, those are just octaves. He records some lines down the octave then overdubs them over up the octave. It's a common recording method. I've used it several times.
      Since it's not possible to "split himself in two" and sing both lines live, he has to pick a line and go with it.
      When he picks the high line people say "he sounds like a stupid cat"
      When he picks the low line, people say "He can't hit the notes, so he has to go down the octave"
      The truth is you would simply need two singers to recreate the effect live. It's not difficult or dishonest it's just a matter of physics.
      I'm sure there are people lining up to offer to sing with the mars volta, and most tribute bands have at least two singers, but they're perfectly entitled to perform their songs live with however many musicians they wish.
