He’s such a weird case because so many people consider him a “bad” singer, but I’ve never heard a cover that comes close to matching him. Their music needs his unique voice.
Not only unique but extremely smooth sounding and just very... musical? If you have a voice like that, I don't think you can be considered a "bad" singer. I guess what I'm saying is, it isn't a case like Dave Mustaine where you can say vocals are bad but they fit the music. Kiedis geuninely sounds great on his own.
I don't think the problem at all is that he's a "bad singer," so much as people just don't care for his voice. Which to be fair, I totalllyyy get. He can be pretty obnoxious lol.
FINALLY A VOCAL COACH DOING A VIDEO ACTUALLY ANALYSING THE F* VOCALS OF A SONG INSTEAD OF JUST SAYING "wowww, listen how it sounds awesome!" "wow, this is hard to do"
Kiedis so underrated. he has something in his voice that you just can't get out of your head in their grates hits. Specially californication and under the bridge. Great video btw..
I think the main criticisms of Kiedis have to do with his range and his pitch. He definitely sings in a limited range and his intonation isn't the best (which is particularly apparent on their live recordings). That said, he has the most important qualities a singer can have: personality and charisma. John Frusciante is probably a "technically" better singer, but his voice has less character, in my opinion. Not sure the band would have gone anywhere without Kiedis.
Awesome stuff Chris. I think anthony keidis is a master of alliteration, he has a hip hop delivery and totally rhythmic to compliment john, flea and chad. Love the peppers.
Only about two weeks ago I legit said to a friend "Yeah, Anthony Kiedis isn't an amazing singer but his delivery is great." And yet delivery is one of many things which can make a singer amazing. I've been very blind, tut tut. Great vid.
Anthony Kiedis , is a great singer , he 's got the clear concept of Rhythm and how to comunicate his lyrics , in every vocal , frase , consonant , being a great singer is not all about a register , strong voice or melismas , riffs n runs etc , being a great singer , is to connect whit people whit feeling , pasion and create an special atmosphere
Okay so you think Anothony is not as good. Imagine RHCP with someone else's vocals. Doesn't add up now does it. Chemistry matters more than skills. And he also has great skills at that.
Hes a fantastic melody writer and being a non musician his melodies are often a little different than the average singer would come up with He's not great live pitch wise but from.1999 to 2007 he was actually really damn good range and pitch wise
Awesome Video Chris! You really captured the feel and vibe of Anthony Kiedis, and the Chili Peppers themselves, but more importantly brought out some amazing key elements of dynamics and placements that make a great singer. You are truly a visionary of vocalization for any type of singer and any style of music.
Anthony's recognizable and unique way of singing also IS an ultimate factor for the band's success as much as John's undeniably too good sounding guitar parts and of course Flea being FLEA, and Chad's incredible drumming. The band is at its best in this line up!
Dosed is probably my favorite example of him using that light, heady mix. He does it throughout most of the verses for like the first two bars, then switches to a fuller chesty mix. Super hard song to sing, for me at least.
All this breakdowns are so great! I love to sing along with the tracks and try to decode the way it's done to find my own way to do it with my voice. Thanks again for this, Chris, I would love to see some Daughtry!
His voice is perfect for the band. They all blend together to make the sound . They’ve definitely created a musical language together. Couldn’t imagine anyone else singing for them. Even with someone who’s technically better.
Thanks for doing a video about the Chili Peppers! I suggest you to check out or even analyse "Venice Queen" because it has beautifully layered backing vocals by John Frusciante. Or some of John's solo stuff because I think he's a great singer.
@@karagun778 Agreed .. I'm With You had some great Vocals and even Chad told Anthony in an interview that he thought his singing was at his best on that Record 💽
Another cool video, thank you. Love RHCPs always thought his voice is amazing. Btw I've been enjoying your videos so much that I've applied to uni to study popular music performance and production. You're an inspiration, I've learned so much from your videos.
The difference in the stronger "chesty" voice and the ethereal "light mix" is in the inner vocal chord muscles being activate (tense) or passive (relaxed), while the remaining structure of the larynx remaining the same. It requires a very good pressure control to deliver smoothly and not break.
I've always thought of Anthony Kiedis as one of the best singer's. Been a RHCP fan since I was a little kid (7-8 years old). The songs/bands I heard before, were just annoying to me as a kid. RHCP, and Anthony Kiedis voice especially, was what drew me to listening to music. After that, I started to love music and a lot of other bands/singers. But I still think he has one of the best voices.
I agree with you, Chris. A lot of vocalists don’t have an unusual tone, but they can many interesting expressions and stuffs with his own voice. I think, it's more important, than you will have unusual tone.
No way, I was 10 when this song came out and I still love it, your videos are 10/10 as usual, please don't stop with this breakdown series lol, I've learnt more on vocal production from your videos than 10 years of Nail the mix
I still REALLY would love to see a breakdown of Till Lindemann from Rammstein. Theres a lot of fascinating things going on with his voice, I think you’d enjoy digging into it!
A suggestion...not necessarily for a video analysis, but just to improve your life: Dive into the Vulfpeck universe. Theo Katzman and Antwaun Stanley... *chefs kiss*
He’s constantly playing with rhythm and bounce. His wordplay is far more leaning towards a hip hop influence. But, Frusciante credits him for being a melody machine. Like a David Lee Roth, he’s got the style and uniqueness that many ‘great’ singers miss.
I would love to hear a vocal breakdown of either Tim Mcilrath from Rise Against or Ben Kowalewicz from Billy Talent, I think that would be kinda interesting! Great video as always Chris!
@@TimoB24 He’s only one guy and gets hundreds of requests rapid fired at him but he does always say he doesn’t mind that. I suppose keep commenting, if he sees the names enough then they’ll come to mind when he’s choosing a new video to do.
7:15 Along with the scoop, I suspect Kiedis’s “very” is accentuated by an absence of air modulation (breath control). As a result, the occlusive “v” sound builds pressure that, when released, intensifies his phonation. On the other hand, I may be just tossing out terms I don’t understand. 😂
I’ll throw in another request/vote for some solo John Frusciante vocals! 🙏🏻☺️ I’d be happy with anything, but I suggest something from the album “Shadows collide with people”, like “In Relief” or “time goes back” 🤓❤️
Hi Chris, nice to meet you!!!! This video is soooo interesting and well explained!!! It's clear that you are 1 - a big fun of RHCP (as I am) and a very and high professional person in music and voice! THANK YOU to demonstrate how much unique and good Anthony is! What a pleasure to listen to these parts and your precise analysis! I've noticed some of that but now it's really clear. I think a lot of the people who says "he is a bad singer" just say that because they heard it, so they think to be cool. And: I'd love to be able to sing the shower like you do!! I'm going to see your free course for sure! Thank you again!! Great video!!!! TOP!!
Awesome as always! To see you analyze John Frisciantes vocal work would be amazing as well. I think he’s great as a back up singer but he has a very personal way of singing in his solo work as well
Anyone that thinks Anthony Kiedis isn't a good singer...lol knows nothing about singing. He is one of the most expressive, unique and emotional singers in the last four decades
@@paulharrisonadventuregearm5457 I love RHCP, but thinking his delivery live is " occasionnally off key " is blind fanboying, his voice is pretty bad when he isn't in the studio
@@nicolasherman9451 no way dude. His voice is amazing I've heard I'm twice in one weak. Alot better than most artists. His voice was pretty much spot on the whole concert. He really shined. Practically carried the band.
@@human144 NO it's not. I've seen many of the great bands U2, The Killers, Queen, Tool, Midnight Oil you name it. Anthony Kiedis was right up there with the best. His voice was beautiful live, in key and mostly on pitch.
I'd love to see a breakdown of Keith Buckley from Every Time I Die. The new singles they've been releasing really explore tons of different vocal techniques and processing. It seems like a perfect fit for the channel.
Hey Chris, it'd be very interesting to see you breakdown Alex Terrible's incredibly gutteral and low style of growling. It's got me beat how he does it hahaha!
Lovin this Video! yeah part of why the chili peppers where so special is because of how anthony approached the singin. He had not much experience in melodic singing he came from an rap and punk background and he did not know music theory in comparison to flea or frusciante. Also Anthony does not often follow the same harmonics like the guitar or bass is playing. He kinda sings especially in the choruses something else haha but it just suits... This and the fact that they have such a great chemistry especially between flea and frusciante created that special chili sound☺️ They really have this 6. sense of playing together
People talk shit about Anthonys voice based on the albums like californication and bssm. And thats a about right, its not pretty. But there is a huge difference between californication and btw. That is also the period of time he started taking vocal lessons for the first time in his career and you can hear it. His vocal range and control got a lot better. Just a shame his voice got ruined a long long time ago and he cant perform even near that level live. Sometimes I think he should stick to this californication level in studio so the live versions wouldnt sound so difficult.
You should check out the demo of the song (which is totally different) and breakdown the differences to how he approached the song for the album version
that bounce in his voice that you speak about is very obvious live, you can see his body bouncing along with his vocal style. I love RHCP but hearing them pitch correction wobbles cracks me up.
Your videos and breakdowns are just spot on. You're the best Chris, really. And actually, maybe you can make an analysis about Klaus Meine's (Scorpions' singer) legendary singing.
11:29 Actually he didn’t! He had these lyrics for a while before they made the final instrumental. There’s on old version somewhere on RUclips with a totally different instrumental/melody. Just a fun fact. Great video!:)
Bowin did this emote on every word . Giving the word a life of its own. Then in llive shows depending in his mood he could make the word happy sad sarcastic or make is look like hes reciteing another persons song not his own. Red hot albums puts the honesty if a live show with the slick priduction if a replauable album. Californication is the song of the millenia.
Kiedis' voice and style are perfect for the Peppers and they would not be the same at all with someone else. The "lack of melody" makes more room for the instrumental melodies of Flea & Frusciante which make RHCP really different compared to any other bands.
If I had to guess, one of the reasons they did the fade out trick, was because the signal to noise ratio on the recording is so low. When he ends the line he is very quiet, to the point where the noise would be similar volume, so I am guessing they did that to combat the noise.
There's a not so popular Canadian band with a great vocalist - The Jins. He sounds like Cobain in a way but he has great and correct techniques. He still sounds different. The band itself sounds like a mix of Nirvana and Green Day. Check that out if you can, maybe not for a video, but it's worth hearing
I’ve always loved the Chilis precisely because they don’t stick to conventional rules. Let’s be honest, a by-the-book, more technical singer wouldn’t really work over their complex layers of music. Kedis began as a frontman more than a singer and that’s exactly the free styling vibe that works with their sound. There’s a million technically better boring singers who can hit notes perfectly and consistently, but just don’t have the same soul.
Love these videos man, I know you've already done a lot of videos featuring Corey Taylor but I'd love to see a breakdown of "Through Glass" by Stone Sour. I think there's a lot of cool things you could highlight in it

Great idea!
@@chrisliepe Yes ! There are some incredible primitive guttural qualities in the Fruciante album , I think it’s called: In just a T-shirt .🤔
Definitely John frusciante is definitely one of my favourite singer of all time

Makes it better without him unless you get another hack to sing
This is what I tell people who say he ‘can’t sing’. He’s very much in control of what he’s doing and dedicated to his rhythmic style.
Anthon Kiedis is the best....his voice and singing, is seriously perfect for me.
I've definitely underestimated Anthony's vocal skill in the past. Now that I've tried and failed to sing well myself, he has my total respect.
Hes a fantastic melody writer and being a non musician his melodies are often a little different than the average singer would come up with
He's not great live pitch wise but from.1999 to 2007 he was actually really damn good range and pitch wise
Please do a vocal breakdown for Josh Homme. He has such a unique vocal style!! Love what you do Chris, thanks.
Yes, totally agree!!!
Yes!!!! Good call
Fantastic idea
unique guitar style too. nothing hits quite like QOTSA.
John's baking vocals for the Peppers are everything! 💕 Anthony's voice is unique and perfect.
I've always loved his singing/voice. I guess everything and singing in particular is subjective.

You really captured the feel and vibe of Anthony Kiedis, and the Chili Peppers themselves, but more importantly brought out some amazing key elements of dynamics and placements that make a great singer. You are truly a visionary of vocalization for any type of singer and any style of music.
John Frusciante’s backing vocals from any of the By The Way tracks would be worth breaking down. I always hear his Beach Boys influence in that album.
He is a amazing singer specially in that beautiful song 🎶 under the bridge
Anthony's recognizable and unique way of singing also IS an ultimate factor for the band's success as much as John's undeniably too good sounding guitar parts and of course Flea being FLEA, and Chad's incredible drumming. The band is at its best in this line up!

for me, the last 2 chilli peppers albums, show that Kiedis can actually sing. He's not an MJK, but he totally can sing, and very well.
"Don't just call me pessimist, try and read between the lines" ;-)
Brendan's death song, pink as floyd, police station have some of the best Kiedis vocal IMO, im with you was his peak vocal period
i love you're comparing his voice to MJK too. i subconsciously was doing this the whole video, i just think it can't get any better than that

you should break down John's backing vocals on some of the songs
Check out Sticky Fingers their lead singer has a great voice and they have a unique sound
Kiedis' voice and style are perfect for the Peppers and they would not be the same at all with someone else. The "lack of melody" makes more room for the instrumental melodies of Flea & Frusciante which make RHCP really different compared to any other bands.

I’ve always loved the Chilis precisely because they don’t stick to conventional rules. Let’s be honest, a by-the-book, more technical singer wouldn’t really work over their complex layers of music. Kedis began as a frontman more than a singer and that’s exactly the free styling vibe that works with their sound. There’s a million technically better boring singers who can hit notes perfectly and consistently, but just don’t have the same soul.
You have to do a breakdown of "Brendan's Death Song", the song with the best Kiedis' voice
Hes got great voice control.
You should have listened to the demo of this song. It shows how much the melody changed.
Love these videos man, I know you've already done a lot of videos featuring Corey Taylor but I'd love to see a breakdown of "Through Glass" by Stone Sour. I think there's a lot of cool things you could highlight in it
