Come talk to me if you wanna critique him. This man is a legend. My favorite singer ever. Dustin and Adam are 2 of my favorite artists ever. These vocals are very straining and hard. Leave the man alone, he’s a god.
Starset has an amazing aesthetic and narrative to their music and Dustin Bates is so very interesting in how he goes about it. Yet, I always felt, since I discovered them, that he seemed to carry so much of Chester Bennington's spirit, his singing voice so very strikingly similar to him.. But in such a good way. In the end, Dustin is doing his own thing and singing in his own way, no matter how alike they sound to me at times. Having said this, Yes I would honestly say, he sings like an angel and screams like a demon, just like Bennington always did, may he rest in peace. I hope Starset, as well as Bates, go far in the industry and maybe one day, we'll get to hear Starset cover some of Linkin Park's work too :).
people say he can’t sing but he actually nailed it. he has a type of dialect/accent/whatever you wanna call it when he sings, though. so it’s not that he “can’t sing,” it’s that he sounds different. sure he had like 2 or 3 notes where we he was a tiny bit off, but there’s no such thing as perfection anyways.
I just stumbled over this video and remembered the first acoustic version I listened to about three months ago. They, especially Dustin, evolved so beautifully and I had the honor to go on their support concert for Breaking Benjamin in Munich and I loved it! I really, really hope they come back to Europe as headliners! :)
The "You couldn't do better." argument is such a bullshit argument, I'm shocked so many people use it. I do agree however, that Dustin was pretty good in this performence. His imperfections were barely noticible, and this is a difficult song.
@@MyEpicAnime That’s not the point though. Using the “you couldn’t do better” as an actual response in a debate/argument in referral to someone’s criticism is such an obnoxious way to shut it down. I don’t have to be a cook to know when food tastes really bad. Could I do better? Probably not but that doesn’t mean I can’t recognize when something is of poor quality. It’s incredibly condescending and obnoxious to respond with “you couldn’t do better” because it shows how insecure people are with regards to criticism, or they’re so immature as to refuse to acknowledge any flaws with the things they like, and pretending they’re perfect.
And we were bold Over the world We were flying through the satellites We had ahold Of the lightning strikes When we should have been afraid of heights And I was trying just to get you And now I'm dying to forget you Cause I knew I couldn't catch you So I left the sky And I fell behind We were one in the same Running like moths to the flame You'd hang on every word I'd say But now they only ricochet We were falling away You left me with a bittersweet taste But when I send my heart your way It bounces off the walls you made Ricochet If I was whole I'd turn right now I'd forget it and just walk away Cause I've been told That I'm dragging it out But I've been dying just to see your face And all I wanted was to say "goodbye" Into the fortress and you're stuck behind And in the silence now I realize That after all I built the wall We were one in the same Running like moths to the flame You'd hang on every word I'd say But now they only ricochet You were falling away You left me with a bittersweet taste But when I send my heart your way It bounces off the walls you made Ricochet All these broken souls They never make me whole They don't, they don't know my heart They don't know my heart All these broken souls Each one more beautiful They don't, they don't know my heart They don't know my heart I'll send out my soul To worlds more beautiful But they won't, they won't know my heart It's the darkest part We were one in the same Running like moths to the flame You'd hang on every word I'd say But now they only ricochet You were falling away You left me with a bittersweet taste But when I send my heart your way It bounces off the walls you made Ricochet
He is not a great signer but I love the guy and the whole band so much that I still enjoy it very much. Saw them twice live so far and travelling to New York on Jan 31st to see them again. Support them!
Singing consistent raspy Bb4's during a Bridge + Chorus right after that is quite hard so.. Surprisingly in the LoudWire performance he nailed them but struggled with the low ranges for some reason
Yeah, he was a bit off tune but it was still very good. You have to remember that Starset's songs are very hard to sing and really put a strain on your voice. (Sorry for the late reply)
Dustin is that awkward teen that out grew all his clothes in freshman year lol I feel like all his sleeves need to be custom or he just leaves them short
Dustin is SUCH an amazing vocalist. He's just, too fucking stiff ya feel? Like, his technique needs to loosen up some. Like, it looks like he's putting a hella lot of effort into singing. Kind of one of those things with the saying "Work smarter, not harder." I am only a tubist, and I don't have too much vocal training. But, he just puts in too much effort into singing it looks like. They're still a very young band, only been around since what? 2012? And they got got popular FAST. So, he just needs to refind his style. Though, he has improved a bit, he still has some ways to go it seems. Another key point I wanna touch on, his stamina is SOOOO fucking weak. If you noticed, at the start he sounded SO FUCKING GOOD! And towards the end, he just sounded like his tone just fell out, ya feel? Had more of a soft, whispering tone to it. Hell, I'd hanker to say half his problems is his stamina.
They are not butchering their songs... Singing those songs is hard and especially in front of a crowd. He's a great guy, it's just hard on him. If you'll look up his interview with Genius, you'll see that he's not awkward, but a really chill guy.
His normal voice is a LOT different from his singing voice... I love it. He can sing like an angel and a monster at the same time
ÆlSeg look like he can be both of them too xD
That description used to fit Chester Bennington so perfectly. I guess it applies to Starset's lead singer too
Its an amazing skill to have, he can sing literrally any kind if music
His "acoustic" voice has improved a lot!
alot!

That's not really true. He's pretty flat a lot of times, but he's been getting much better.
Them being on Tour with Shinedown the past Fall has helped out Dustin tremendously!
A dialect and an accent are completely different things...
his voice is amazing! i love this band

his acoustic voice has improved so much
People need to stop being critics he did amazing, alot more amazing then we all would of done.

@@alexbaribeault It's really not, it's why he's the musician and we are not

And we were bold
Over the world
We were flying through the satellites
We had ahold
Of the lightning strikes
When we should have been afraid of heights
And I was trying just to get you
And now I'm dying to forget you
Cause I knew I couldn't catch you
So I left the sky
And I fell behind
We were one in the same
Running like moths to the flame
You'd hang on every word I'd say
But now they only ricochet
We were falling away
You left me with a bittersweet taste
But when I send my heart your way
It bounces off the walls you made
Ricochet
If I was whole
I'd turn right now
I'd forget it and just walk away
Cause I've been told
That I'm dragging it out
But I've been dying just to see your face
And all I wanted was to say "goodbye"
Into the fortress and you're stuck behind
And in the silence now I realize
That after all I built the wall
We were one in the same
Running like moths to the flame
You'd hang on every word I'd say
But now they only ricochet
You were falling away
You left me with a bittersweet taste
But when I send my heart your way
It bounces off the walls you made
Ricochet
All these broken souls
They never make me whole
They don't, they don't know my heart
They don't know my heart
All these broken souls
Each one more beautiful
They don't, they don't know my heart
They don't know my heart
I'll send out my soul
To worlds more beautiful
But they won't, they won't know my heart
It's the darkest part
We were one in the same
Running like moths to the flame
You'd hang on every word I'd say
But now they only ricochet
You were falling away
You left me with a bittersweet taste
But when I send my heart your way
It bounces off the walls you made
Ricochet
The way he raised his eyebrows at 0:13 makes me melt
Omg I wouldve given anything to be there!!!!
we were one in the same, running like moths to the flame..
You hang on every word I say... But now they're only rico..CHAAYYYYYYYYYYYY
Me encanta esta banda 😍😊.
A mim também.
João Paulo Essa mina é espânica cara KKKKKKK
KKKKKK BR NADA
I love Starset ♥️
Melhor música 🖤
One my favorite bands & songs. 💜🖤💜🖤🤘🤘
wow this sounded WAAAAY better than the other video I just watched...some videos seem to have real shit quality and makes his voice sound real bad
They should do a long strings segment at the end there, kind of like a solo but with 2 instruments that would be badass
Lo amo ^^
Love love love ❤️❤️❤️😍
Кайфовая песня!!! - исполнитель в чём-то уникальныЙ!)
Bless
Dustin looks so much like Ramin Karimloo here. Just another reason to love him.
Amazing band, going to see them, Feb in Sweden =)
❤
430/1 nice starset is perfect
I can tell by his rock singing style
Ricochet 😍
I was there at that concert.
harysan dedorito Nobody cares
Thats me so rough and still so true
@@thatsme2044 Jesus Christ man if you dont care dont say anything...
So good!!! 😊😊
His voice not match him but it does if that makes any since at all. Great performance!
Yeh that’s him
Only just thou
I hit like when he used his grungy voice
а что у них за часы наручные?!
he's a bit off tune, but any how , i still love them
bit of tune? ?? where are very good in walls of vocal de extremy bad blocs With eletrônica pop metal and metal
Nicholas Gaming you're right he misses the key a few times, but they're truly a gem of a band
He is not a great signer but I love the guy and the whole band so much that I still enjoy it very much. Saw them twice live so far and travelling to New York on Jan 31st to see them again. Support them!

Meu Deus, não parece o Dustin cantando KJJKKK ele mandou muito bem nessa performance
Pior que não parece mesmo
Desafinar é o charme dele
@@ninjacortadordecebola1215 kkkkkkkkkkkkkk
I love Dustin to death but I’m sorry at 2:10 it just sounds like he’s so tired and falling asleep 😂 😂 😅

This is a comment that’s actually 100% true and I agree with
@@storiedlegends2818 Dustin has Been a vocalist since 2003 with downplay, I mean if aftershow he doesn't hurt his vocal chords his technique is right
Why did everyone laugh at 0:16 and a lady said sorry?
Dude is so damn stiff and awkward. Love their music.But have no interest in hearing them butcher their own songs Live.
John Lukas he's an awkward dude in general.
