@@danoliver3053 oh damn man. Its on the Internet. Per did some interviews about Christian leaving. You gotta Google it dude. I made me feel really down cos Christian was the best singer I ever heard. It's okay though cos I've found Spencer sotelo
I think Per suggested that Christian's main problem was transitioning between harsh and clean vocals, as opposed to him being an outright bad singer. Lots of vocalists struggle with that but improve as time goes on. Trivium's Matt Heafy is an example of someone whose live singing really suffered when he was doing a lot of screamed vocals, but with time he improved markedly. The same was true of Christian, who I recall did some great live stuff with Solution .45 a few years after Per said this.
@@victoraizen7990 You realize how small they were when these records were being put out right? They certainly didn't have to marketing budget to put out a DVD at that point.
Christian is my favourite vocalist of all time!! He has made all the bands he has sung for really awesome.. The best are Scar Symmetry and Solution .45
FUCK YEA....Christian all the way...there really is NO comparison between Him and the 2 new dudes. I flew from Florida to NYC to See Scar Symmetry Live and I could not be any happier than I got to see the real shit!!! Here's Hoping for a Scar Symmetry Reunion!!! In The Meantime...Unmoored/Solution.45!
Totally agree. Moreover, it seems the current singers sing while vocally following the music. Christian is able to sing against the music's sound so harmoniously. It's fantastic. I really am sad I can't see this live ever again unless they reunite.
I used to hate Growling vocals...and I still don't prefer them...bust this guy is freakin' amazing. I've never seen someone do a growl like then and then burst into a flawless powerful voice in one breath. Scar Symmetry was awesome, I'm not so sure if I'll like them without Christian being on the mic.
those looking for Christian Alvestams bands should check out Miseration,a super group he and Jani Stefanovic Started. they have a new album which is much heavier than their first and much,mcuh heavier than anything SS probably has done. Check them out :D
@Skinimiseskurca We share the same views my friend. Mike and Christian are two probably most talented singers around the world, as the range of their singing skills are just inappropriately amazing. :)
@Altairograph I agree that christian is amazing when it comes to how well he can transition between growls and clean vocals, but i could never get over how deep, powerful, and demonic mike can sound while at the same time he can deliver the most natural, pure, and beautiful singing voice. and also, not saying anything negative about christian in anyway, alot of his cleans are supported by his own backing vocals on scar's records, which may contribute some to how amazing they sound.
im right with yah dawg. sad to see chris has left he is an amazing musician and SS wont be the same without him. just another swedish melodic death metal band to throw into the 4.99 bin at your local JB
fuck me, that was awsome, sound quality was abit distorted but wow, i didnt expect them to be THAT good live :O definately going to see them next time they come down england, christian nailed those vocals =o
These guys are christian? O.o Pretty dang good. I thought the whole singing thing of his was with computers but he sounds exactly like he did in the video...
WHERE THE GODDAMN HELL ARE THE GOOD QUALITY VIDEOS LIKE THEY HAVE OF OTHER BANDS LIVE I CAN'T FIND ONE FUCKING VIDEO WHERE YOU CAN CLEARLY HEAR THEM...
The screams are spot on, it's the clean vocals that just need to change. I don't think the guy has the same range as Christian so needs to adapt rather than trying to imitate
definitely one of the best voice in metal history!!
Indeed he is a true singer, a singer that sounds just as good on the record as well on stage! True talent is what we all are hearing!
He was kicked because he couldn't sing live according to per. I love him so I'm not glad to hear that.
@@D4veJap4n Where did you hear that?

@@D4veJap4n In case you're not familiar with him, let me introduce you to Tomi Joutsen of Amorphis ruclips.net/video/Kgr11AnLaIQ/видео.html
3:33 HOLY SHIT mad respect for that vocal range
i would give anything to see Christian sing live
And people say he can't sing live! Shows they don't know shit! Christian Alvestam is a God of metal!
Why a band if more than 10 years never made a DVD ? He Did'nt like sing live?
Makes no sense dude why they didnt make it.
@@victoraizen7990 You realize how small they were when these records were being put out right? They certainly didn't have to marketing budget to put out a DVD at that point.
01:53 "No... No, I'm not! I'm not that guy from Killswitch Engage"!
lolololol
If they wanted to replace him with one person...the only name (qualified) that comes to mind: Bjorn "Speed" Strid.
i was at this exact gig it was amazing :D
scar symmetry are an epic band :D
No1 can replace Christian, all ppl should bear that in mind!
Christian is my favourite vocalist of all time!! He has made all the bands he has sung for really awesome.. The best are Scar Symmetry and Solution .45
and those 2 still couldn't do the job
el mejor clásico y original scar symmetry con el vocalista christian alvestam
Great show, great crowd, great band, great singer ! Scar Symmetry !!!
FUCK YEA....Christian all the way...there really is NO comparison between Him and the 2 new dudes. I flew from Florida to NYC to See Scar Symmetry Live and I could not be any happier than I got to see the real shit!!!
Here's Hoping for a Scar Symmetry Reunion!!!
In The Meantime...Unmoored/Solution.45!
We want Christian Älvestam back !
He’s still in other bands, such as Miseration.
perfection
This guy seems 2 have great singing skills and amazing growls together!
Whoever got to see this performance live should count themselves lucky. This was metal history.
I was there they were awesome 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Totally agree. Moreover, it seems the current singers sing while vocally following the music. Christian is able to sing against the music's sound so harmoniously. It's fantastic. I really am sad I can't see this live ever again unless they reunite.
crazy fantastic vocal
Holy shit i want to see Solution.45 live
my favorite band.
love scar symmetry
perfect....this vocalist is WOW!!!!
Thanks for pointing that out. Most amazing discovery ever!!!! =/
!!! they are great live!!! they got the best metal ever!!
Holy shit, they kick ass live. Even nailed the solos perfectly.
they are really sop fucking awesome live. cant put into words how much i love this band. badass
fascinante como cambia de voz gutural a voz lírica con esa facilidad, lo amo...
Already did, can't wait for them to release their album.
yep, same here.
True talent
There is still hope for their new album, it sounds like its worth listening to
wow they did an amazing job, just wish the quality was better
scar symmetry is the second best band i have ever heard. No one can ever edge out Pantera for me
I'm still laughing about how they had to replace him with TWO people.
I just miss him.
You will be missed Christian :(
I used to hate Growling vocals...and I still don't prefer them...bust this guy is freakin' amazing. I've never seen someone do a growl like then and then burst into a flawless powerful voice in one breath. Scar Symmetry was awesome, I'm not so sure if I'll like them without Christian being on the mic.
If I could travel back in time, I know where I'll be heading.
I heard a couple of songs on the myspcae and I liked the symphonic feel to it :D
those looking for Christian Alvestams bands should check out Miseration,a super group he and Jani Stefanovic Started.
they have a new album which is much heavier than their first and much,mcuh heavier than anything SS probably has done.
Check them out :D
I particularly like their solos and their melodic parts. They fucking rule¡
Yeah Mikko is fuckin' amazing too.
Christian, Mikko and Mikael are my favorites for clean growl style
This band was just... awesome.. before the vocalist left :P Gladly he's now at Solution 45 ^^
A najlepsze jest to że potrafi spiewać dwoma głosami :)
Yeah
Also check out The Few Against Many!
I agree with supraxtrem!!!!!!
NO ONE HAS Christian's voice!NO-ONE!!
I'm sooo in love with his voice
fucking sick
Scar Symmetry, my new favorite band, but the CD!
@Skinimiseskurca

christian sounds great live
THIS is a singer.
can't load the video :(
they are crazy i like this shit ^^
it´s good
greetings from germany saxony dresden
they are good
very good
i know those bands ;)....can't wait for solution .45 album....:)))
actually miseration is no more, they made 2 albums and they are pretty good, new band is called solution. 45
@Etherawaken
What do you think of Michael Akerfeldt from Opeth/Bloodbath?
@Altairograph I agree that christian is amazing when it comes to how well he can transition between growls and clean vocals, but i could never get over how deep, powerful, and demonic mike can sound while at the same time he can deliver the most natural, pure, and beautiful singing voice. and also, not saying anything negative about christian in anyway, alot of his cleans are supported by his own backing vocals on scar's records, which may contribute some to how amazing they sound.
Its a real fuckin shame that they never got to perform any of holographic universe live with christian :(
@StatiusMetal Same here :(
im right with yah dawg. sad to see chris has left he is an amazing musician and SS wont be the same without him. just another swedish melodic death metal band to throw into the 4.99 bin at your local JB
fuck me, that was awsome, sound quality was abit distorted but wow, i didnt expect them to be THAT good live :O
definately going to see them next time they come down england, christian nailed those vocals
=o
1:48 special :D ; 3:30 my favourite part
@thedar097 it sounds like it right!!
How did christain do it ! Does he play for any other bands now?
@Altairograph Tommy Roger of Between the Buried and me is also mindblowing, like in their song Aspiration :)
@Altairograph ever listen to Opeth?
2:17 Thats what i call fucking Headbanging!!! lml
Mikael Akerfeldt was who i mentioned in my top 3 bud :]
i was really happy with every SS album now chris has left they are dead to me
@UnknownCrypt so his clean singing on the albums is fake?
@hubertson93 I agree 100%
Per Nilsson still looked like a human :D
was chris the vocals?
Miseration? They're last album was released in 2006, while he was still in Scar Symmetry, lol
guys this way he left scar symmetry he didn't want to go on tours and lives
@Altairograph i know im suprised his cleans arent out of key when he switches.. most singers cant transition very well between rough and clean
no in the one I have it's "HOLY SHIT!"
OMG... I didn't think he could do it LIVE. Is the the only thing this man can't do headbanging?
Christian will indeed be missed :(, the new singers are no where in hell close to him
Christian Älvestam is a god - like a "voiceChameleon" xD
I miss Christian!!! :'(
sadly.. you're right
@Altairograph well christian is definitely awesome but have you ever checked out mikael akerfeldt of opeth?
These guys are christian? O.o Pretty dang good. I thought the whole singing thing of his was with computers but he sounds exactly like he did in the video...
@metalhead7369 And they are both Swedes :P
Go to scarsymmetry's forums and check the thread called "The new line-up is revealed"
Christian
@jesusmetal92107 It's not fake its just enhanced, cleaned up, and tuned.
I hate that this is the only live video with Christian performing this song..
@METALLICA6547 Yeah, right?
@shinreyzala you should also check out his new band The Few Against Many!! AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!
@Altairograph Opeth's Mikael Åkerfeldt
3:33 amafaagaahh
@twiggyomega Nuff said.
WHERE THE GODDAMN HELL ARE THE GOOD QUALITY VIDEOS LIKE THEY HAVE OF OTHER BANDS LIVE I CAN'T FIND ONE FUCKING VIDEO WHERE YOU CAN CLEARLY HEAR THEM...
