Not only are the quality of his screams AND cleans perfectly fine, but this is also the LAST song of their set... Plus he is responsible for all of the screams and cleans and this song has basically zero vocal breaks, in fact some of the vocal parts actually overlap. Yet people are still insulting him even though he did an awesome job of making it sound basically like the recording..? I can't even fathom this. You all clearly have no idea how difficult it is to perform any vocals in that type of setting, much less these vocals.
Alex Mckimson We obviously have different definitions of what "off key" is in a performance. Granted if you put a tuner to his voice track the notes would not be 100% in the middle on every single note, but anyone whose ever performed live music like this before knows that chris could probably hear basically none of his own voice... Any live performances you've heard that have better quality cleans have most likely had their audio electronically edited post-performance to make it sound better. A select few singers are generally near flawless, but based on the standard set by the vast majority of live performers I certainly would not label THIS performance as off key... Which hasn't always been the case for him lol.
Alright guys I understand Chris doesn't sound his best on these live videos on RUclips, but go see them live and he sounds fucking amazing. Take my word for it!
Adrian Lopez you're damn right. I've seen them on this live concert in Germany.. and it was fucking amazing.. but not as amazing as the meet'n greet with AA :D
I see many people saying how much Chris's vocals suck, all I got to say being a vocalist myself, jumping about, screaming, headbanging and then clean singing is fucking difficult, you try it!!!
i am from germany and i can approve of this i went to see BFMV last month and the crowd sucked shit i think its because the crowd is just too young to care about the band i went to see volbeat last year and most of the fans we're older and they went ape shit
As someone who has done the scream/singing thing, what Chris is doing in this video is damn impressive. If you're a noob, and in a band, pick one or the other, because you won't even sound THIS good if you try the combo as an amateur. This guy isn't doing those wussy fake screams, so I think you should try it before talking shit.
I do scream and it is very difficult and it messes with your regular voice cause it kind of freezes your vocal chords and you can hear it in his chorus. In short it is a talent.
Chris sounds great back on these older live videos, but it's insane to see how much better he's gotten! Also Can we appreciate that Chris did this entire song (Devil's Night no less) without any backing vocals?
This performance was incredible. People get used to hearing the mastering process... This is pure raw talent. I love hearing these raw recordings. They remind me that my dry vocals aren't as bad as the criticism I give myself. If you're a vocalist of any kind, watch videos like these. They are real. Raw. They are what you should aspire to hit... because if you can hit this level, mastering can take you to the moon.
I don't understand why people say that cleans are bad, he sounds awesome live, its obvious that you can't compare a studio version that has hundreds of edits... btw screaming and singing cleans is hard as fuck so stop complaining... you're never gonna be as good as him sitting there talking shit
So much props to Chris. On top of his voice he is a total gentleman, he was so nice when I got to see him. I wish there was a backup to help him through the chorus
i seen them live in September...and chris voice was amazing...being there is totally different then watching them on youtube...seems like on youtube they bring the vocal volume up higher then the bands playing...they murdered the show i was at...and everyone was involved...not standing around like a bunch of boring ppl...ahaha!!
No, actually if you heard him he said "we have one more song" he's been screaming like crazy for the whole set. as a person who also screams, your throat sort of just gives out on you. To see him do cleans so well after so much screams is insane! have some respect, man
I saw them live at Warped this past summer and they were absolutely great live! Chris's vocals were amazing. Some of you need too realize that not every vocalist is going too sound like they do on the records and touring takes a toll on their voice.
I like the rawness of this performance over the more polished stuff. You can actually tell they are playing without backing tracks or too much processing
You giys dont seem to understand that performing in 100+ degree heat under all those lights and constantly screaming, and being exhausted from touring affects vocal quality, Chris is doing beautifully for his circumstances
I´m from germany too. Und ich LIEBE MIW !!!!!!!! ist echt schwer jemanden zu finden der diesen musikgeschmack teilt ... Aber was solls MIW is in jeder situation da
I think this is amazing live considering it was there last song of the concert and think about how tired they are plus his throat is probably killing after screaming for that long and jumping and head banging with the crowd and being loud enough for people to hear at the back of the room id love to see all the haters do all that and sound perfect live idec im practising screaming and i can barely do 2 songs with out my throat giving out also think how hot its going to fucking be in there with the stage lights beaming down on them so people need to respect them for doing what they do and producing music for there fans and realise no one will ever sound as good live as on an album or what ever so get the fuck over it and appreciate the talent and creativity that comes from music so well fucking done to MIW cause they fucking rocked that stage and every other one they have been on !
Well to me the only thing majorly off here is the lead guitar. The drummer is faltering a bit but keeping it together. The vocals aren't *noticeably* off key. He just sounds tired. No need for auto-tune, just a rest haha
I could totally be wrong here, but since this is an "official live video" it's possible that the reason the crowd sounds so dead is because the audio in this was recorded directly from each instrument, instead of recorded from mics capturing the whole concert. I've heard that MIW are super humble and cool dudes in real life, so it wouldn't surprise me to find out that they chose to get the best possible recording of the music, without doing anything extra to make it sound like the crowd was going nuts. I do agree that the crowd looked a little sluggish though, but there were definitely still some people who looked pretty into it.
I wanna see them live so bad Funny thing is they had a show near me(very rare for any bands to come here) Aaannnd I had freaking plans that day, and the plans were canceled...but it was too late to go😒
I’ve tried screaming slower songs, standing completely still and got out of breathing (I am a beginner so I haven’t gotten my breathing techniques down yet) This is pretty damn impressive
I love you Chris! He's awesome and fucking talented... When you're on point, its fucking on point... but when you get off, like around 1:10 (almost forgot the lyrics), fuck you're off >_
Oh wow. Thank you for correcting my grammar, I had no idea that this was the internet and grammar should be taken to literally. Thank you for adding that extra 0. You really made your point. You're a great man thank you bby. Do me a favour, scroll down and fix everyone's mistakes.
they probably just sound worse live because, well, you try to sing good clean vocals jumping around a stage infront of thousands of people. he's probably short of breath and nervous on the stage and I would imagine that it's like 90+degrees in there... I'm not going to talk bull and say that they're amazing, because obviously chris is having a hard time doing good clean vocals here and on some other live videos I've watched but his growling is amazing. I hope they're at warped 2015 so I can see them
When I was doing back up vocs and bass in a band a few years back, stage presence literally kicks your ass. Trying to keep everyone hyped while still trying to sound relatively close to the album (the rough/uncut) version of the song is almost impossible. Those stage lights are beating on your face, you can't see, you can barely hear anything besides your cabinet and your frontman, you're trying to hear your lead guitar but you can't even though his cab is an inch away from yours, the venue is usually hot from body heat, or cold as the deepest part of hell because of the ac they have on to counteract the body heat. Around your third, sometimes fourth song, you feel like aquaman because of the sea of sweat you're in and you sound like him talking to fish because your body is so tired and your vocals are so loose. The eighth song and past that, you're so worn down that your adrenaline kicks in just to get you through the song and off stage. But After it's all said and done, you get you and your equipment off stage, the crowd is cheering/claping/trying to grab your junk while you are carrying a case with your instrument, an amp head on your shoulders and pulling your cabinet if you're lucky enough to have wheels, and you finally get to slow down, you realize that it's the most exciting and fun thing you will ever do in your life.
This is how a REAL singer performs. No autotune, no backing vocals, jus raw talent still bringing it 10/10 after a full set with only him on vocals.
Not only are the quality of his screams AND cleans perfectly fine, but this is also the LAST song of their set... Plus he is responsible for all of the screams and cleans and this song has basically zero vocal breaks, in fact some of the vocal parts actually overlap. Yet people are still insulting him even though he did an awesome job of making it sound basically like the recording..? I can't even fathom this.

You said it perfectly. I agree. This song in general barely let's you breathe let alone take a break between words. They played it dang near perfect.
Everyone doubting his Vocal Performance has no Idea what there talking about 🤷🏽♂️
this band is so talented i love them so much
Same except I love them so much that it's unhealthy but who the fuck cares? They're amazing
honestly anyone who think they're bad live hasnt seen them I saw them 3 times and they're literally one of the best live bands tbh
Yeah but tbh black veil brides are better in my opinion
Lee Stevens uhm no. bvb adores auto-tuned choruses cx
Lee Stevens oh Jesus fuck just leave. Motionless in white it's 7986532467747899086411370x better than black veil vaginas
*opinions*
No... and I like both... but just no
Alright guys I understand Chris doesn't sound his best on these live videos on RUclips, but go see them live and he sounds fucking amazing. Take my word for it!
You're not paying attention to the performance that's why.
BetrayingTheBlessed Yay yes that's exactly why.
Adrian Lopez you're damn right. I've seen them on this live concert in Germany.. and it was fucking amazing.. but not as amazing as the meet'n greet with AA :D
I agree, they were amazing at warped!
heck yes they sounded exceptionally good. Chris is an amazing frontman.
I see many people saying how much Chris's vocals suck, all I got to say being a vocalist myself, jumping about, screaming, headbanging and then clean singing is fucking difficult, you try it!!!
it truly is hard af to do all that...
same, I agree totally, these stupid fucking comments they make me pissed
Also because of what he said, it was the last song, so he was already tired
Such a bad ass performance for such a week ass audience.
be honest,he didnt perform so good one this one
Lucas Betega fuck that, see them in reno. 5 pits forming into 1 epic moshpit
It's germany so :D (I'm from germany so, yeah)
i am from germany and i can approve of this i went to see BFMV last month and the crowd sucked shit i think its because the crowd is just too young to care about the band i went to see volbeat last year and most of the fans we're older and they went ape shit
Thank you for uploading high-quality live videos from Motionless In White.

Dude, spot fucking on
Okay.
I do scream and it is very difficult and it messes with your regular voice cause it kind of freezes your vocal chords and you can hear it in his chorus. In short it is a talent.
Yup
And you will feel it if you do it wrong
Such a weak crowd... I would be losing my mind lol
I find that Impericon always has weak looking crowds.
I heard back then they weren’t as popular as they are now so that’s probably why?
Chris sounds great back on these older live videos, but it's insane to see how much better he's gotten! Also Can we appreciate that Chris did this entire song (Devil's Night no less) without any backing vocals?

The guitar part during the verse has a similar sound to Psychosocial by Slipknot :D
Same tuning
But it's not the same riff at all
It reminded me of headcrusher by megadeth
I hate people that judge this band by their looks. They're very talented.
I don't understand why people say that cleans are bad, he sounds awesome live, its obvious that you can't compare a studio version that has hundreds of edits... btw screaming and singing cleans is hard as fuck so stop complaining... you're never gonna be as good as him sitting there talking shit
Everyone has an opinion. Get over it
There are many artist who sound the same live as they do in a studio
is my opinion, you get over it thanks and havea good night
Josean Colon In that case please state it as an opinion. I had btw a great night and hope you will too, nn!
"you're never gonna be as good as him sitting there talking shit" Good god dude...you have a lot to learn about the world..
MIW are my favorite band I love them so much xxx
Chris is such a fucking sick vocalist
Ikr
He IS✌🏻💯
It's amazing that he has such a huge vocal range and sings it all himself
Wow, that was their last song and Chris was still going - he is so talented. That song... The lyrics are genius and the whole band plays so well live!
So much props to Chris. On top of his voice he is a total gentleman, he was so nice when I got to see him. I wish there was a backup to help him through the chorus

The official live video of the song is .....just amazing !!! I love MIW and their songs
What's everyone talking? I think they sound well good in this :)
No, actually if you heard him he said "we have one more song" he's been screaming like crazy for the whole set. as a person who also screams, your throat sort of just gives out on you. To see him do cleans so well after so much screams is insane! have some respect, man
Impericons Live Videos sind einfach immer die Besten!
MIW always puts on a great show. I saw them at Warped Tour last year and they are probably the nicest guys out there
Melhor live do MIW
I saw them live at Warped this past summer and they were absolutely great live! Chris's vocals were amazing. Some of you need too realize that not every vocalist is going too sound like they do on the records and touring takes a toll on their voice.
I can tell that Chris's vocal chords are exhausted. I scream myself, and I can tell by his tone they're getting tired.
These guys are actually fucking amazing when you see them live in person, their energy is amazing and it really shows
They sound amazing!
Can't wait for While She Sleeps and Betraying The Martyrs live videos!! They'll gonna be INSANE!!
The sound at this gig sounds really good!!
I like the rawness of this performance over the more polished stuff. You can actually tell they are playing without backing tracks or too much processing
Yeah not too much distortion on the mic. Its pretty raw
they played incredible! Seen them live 6 times, never a disappointing performance. shit's crazy.
Crowds with their good energy is the life in concert
The Guitar Sounds amazing when he plays it !!
Seeing them live for the first time soon :) I'm excited
this is the start of perfecting a song, watch a more recent version of devils night , its flawless
Super awesome voice . I really love it. This is the super best song I've ever heard in my whole life. Fuck yeah
Hell yeah
HOLY FUCKING SHIT AN OFFICIAL MIW'S LIVE VIDEO ! I've been waiting 3 years for this.
Chris motionless is my #1
I Love This Band !!!!
You giys dont seem to understand that performing in 100+ degree heat under all those lights and constantly screaming, and being exhausted from touring affects vocal quality, Chris is doing beautifully for his circumstances

God, I enjoy watching Motionless in White.
Amazing, this band is awesome live
I saw them live five months ago. Chris has improved his live performance A LOT!
I SEEN THRM JULY 15 N THEY WERE EXTREME
Love this band the vocals are great
Chris' head bangs are so EPIC!!!
Nada melhor que um Motionless In White pra embalar a noite.
I think that Chris and Motionless in White did a very good job performing live. This song is so fucking awesome!
One of the most talented Metal bands. The vocalist reminds me of Chester from Linkin Park. He's super super talented.
Chris é incrível, apenas.
This day was mad!!
seen them twice gonna be my third next year
I think this is amazing live considering it was there last song of the concert and think about how tired they are plus his throat is probably killing after screaming for that long and jumping and head banging with the crowd and being loud enough for people to hear at the back of the room id love to see all the haters do all that and sound perfect live idec im practising screaming and i can barely do 2 songs with out my throat giving out also think how hot its going to fucking be in there with the stage lights beaming down on them so people need to respect them for doing what they do and producing music for there fans and realise no one will ever sound as good live as on an album or what ever so get the fuck over it and appreciate the talent and creativity that comes from music so well fucking done to MIW cause they fucking rocked that stage and every other one they have been on !
this guy is an incredible vocalist
This reminds me of when I lost my grandfather a couple days after Christmas last year. I miss him everyday. 😔😔😖😖😔😔😖😖😭😭😭😭
i love how he screams "thank you" at the end xD
so awesome sound quality
I've seen them live here in Brazil, amazing performance live!
AWESOME!!!!!!

they NEVER disappoint.........ever @_@
That's fucking awesome!!! But seriously the crowd is like boring... They seem so dead to be at such an awesome concert like srsly people
must be germany srsly i was on a concert of them in germany and the crowd was so fucking boring
i think you´ve never been to rock am ring if thats your oppinion.
I'am from germany and me and my friends aren't that boring xD. Not all German people act like that. Remember :D

this is amazing though, i love Motionless in White.
This is the best live proformance ever ;-D
Saw them when they were at Belfast, this song was insane there!!
I love motionless in white and this song but what he just did at 1:17 had me crying when he jumped back into the song 😭😂
I wanna see them live so bad
Funny thing is they had a show near me(very rare for any bands to come here)
Aaannnd I had freaking plans that day, and the plans were canceled...but it was too late to go😒
+MotionlessSweeto where are u from?
I recently went to the warped tour in Houston & they were really good live, definitely suggest looking into future concerts with them :)
I’ve tried screaming slower songs, standing completely still and got out of breathing (I am a beginner so I haven’t gotten my breathing techniques down yet)
This is pretty damn impressive
The reality check frr
How do you sound now ???
this band always best
Going to see MIW in September , buzzin
LOVE IT.

Sierra Hixon i seen them at warped 14 chris was pretty on point with his cleans and screams
WarmSoftKitty Dude I'd like to see you do this show. Lmao you'd be a lot worse. Chris and the entire band is amazing.
He can I've seen them live. And I'm going again this summer.
i don't really like the cleans but his screams are very impressive!
MIW and AA touring together in Brazil?
I must not lose it!!
He's probably on a long tour, When i saw them at warped they were perfect
Great video, I hope there will be a full set!
Master Chris! go Motionless in White! haha :) cheer's everyone!
So awesooooooooommmmmmmmmeeee
I want to go back to the London one,perfect night just because of them :3
How.. is it possible that they stand still like that.. I can't even, enough internet for the day.
His cleans are really good live.
Should've gone to the birmingham gig, that was insane all night!! :D
Awesome video ❤️😍
they are much greater IRL when seeing them. epic
That suggestion tho " We Butter The Bread With Butter " LMFAO. What the hell? xDD
scene bitch
We Butter The Bread With Butter is amazing. did you actually watch the video
yeah ABR is probably the best metalcore band i've ever seen live.
