Oh Meegs :-( what happened man? It might have been kinder if someone watched these back and made the decision not to upload them and give the guys another chance at this. I don't want to dump on anyone, there could be an explanation - couldn't hear himself or the drums? Guitar not setup to his specs? Illness? No idea, but unfortunately the end result isn't up to scratch.
Nadja is not the original bassist though and she has a gig because of Dez, Meegs, and Mikey. So if I were her I probably wouldn't critique their performances too much! 🤣🤣
I remember when they uploaded the Fiend video, I was taken aback by how out of sync Meegs was. I don't know if he couldn't hear himself or he didn't warm up, but these videos probably never should have been seen by the public.
Guitar is in diff tuning then what songs are actually in to reflect the meegs custom comes tuned b standard ajd not drop b or a. It may seem trivial if you are not a guitaristbut I have been for nearly 30years and thise little changes once you are used to something different can still throw you.@@_NoDrinkTheBleach
It’s definitely off… idk if is a lack of practice, passion or it was just not the day to be. Coal Chamber had been my favorite band since my teenage years! Hope nothing but the best to this guys!
He sounds great this was just some random performance they filmed probably at the Shecter Guitar Factory in California. I just saw Coal Chamber live in 2023 and they were just as good as they were back in the early 2000s when I saw them.
Jesus, that was rough. The drummer brought energy like it was an audition though. Maybe he was trying to project a little energy toward the other two that seem to have cement in their shoes. The bass lines sounded decent, but that guitar sounded like it was being dragged across the floor.
Give them a break they have been playing together as a band since 1994 and Dez isn't here for this performance. The absence of the singer takes away a lot from just about any band unless you're Rush or something. All things considered, they sound pretty good!
@@LeadMe2TheBliss so, because Dez was not there it is ok Meegs sounded sloppy af? he can't play that guitar, he missed the beat multiple times, and those ugly harmonics due to his sloppy fingers, gimme a break here, surely with a guitar he is used to he would do better, but this was simply a bad rendition of the song, stop making excuses, you won't convince anybody.
@@NickSwe I look at this video as more of a practice session. Or maybe like a soundcheck sort of thing. Of course a band isn't going to bring it during a soundcheck, the song is going to sound different during soundcheck than it will the next night in front of thousands of people! Does Meegs sound sloppy here or possibly high on something? Yes. This also could have been a spur of the moment sort of thing, you never know!
I love Coal chamber, and wish everyone well. That said...Drummer had the energy, chick was like fuck this bullshit, dude was like, how did I play that song again? So whats the criteria for getting your own signature model? It must be piss low. As much as I love that album, damn dude fucking get it together in rehearsal before letting out a video like this.
You can tell Meegs is used to his guitar being tuned differently. The meegs custom comes tuned b standard and ues usually in drop a/b. Still sounds AMAZING and I cannot wait to order my Meegs PT EX!
@@buwumet It's not the tuning, he is tuned to Nadja's bass...Meegs (and most of the Nu-Metal bands to pioneer that genre back in the early 90s) aren't known for their technical guitar skills, playing sloppy was sort of just part of the scene back then and Nirvana and grunge were very similar. Kurt Cobain was a very simple guitar player, and sloppy too at times.
@@LeadMe2TheBliss Yes, we know you've seem them in concert. You've left multiple comments making sure everyone knows that. Stop swinging from their nutz.
@@Ferklaus It doesn't matter how easy the song is, bro. How many records did Tom Petty sell before he died? Free Fallin' is one of the easiest songs ever to play on guitar. How many times has that song been played on the radio? It's not all about being technical, bro.
@@LeadMe2TheBliss ok, i know you like this band a lot. Maybe it's not her day. In this video, she looks bored and doesn't convey that stage presence. im a drummer and Mikey plays awesome, he has an amazing groove.
Mike Cox is a crazy drummer. He deserves his name in the video title too come on
So much dude, they guy plays with such crazy energy. Back in the 90s and today, guy’s a beast
Love the drummers energy full boar😀🤘
At least the drummer brought it…
Meegs is all over the place and Nadja looks like she doesn't wanna be there... Kinda sad
You sound pretty lame

Oh i get it! This is one of those shreds videos yeah? I love the 'bb king shreds' one, it was hilarious 😂
Nadja looks bored and disappointed in Meeg's playing.
I just saw them during their summer 2023 tour with Mudvayne, trust me they are still killing it as a live band!
Nadja is not the original bassist though and she has a gig because of Dez, Meegs, and Mikey. So if I were her I probably wouldn't critique their performances too much! 🤣🤣
@@LeadMe2TheBlissNadja is the most talented out of all of them
Same here lol
Shut up, Mikey was the only one killing it@@JCordoba1001

@@medicatedsquirrel420lol no. changing tunings doesn’t make your palm mutes and timing horrid.

What is meegs doing? 😢
"Chuh-chuh-chuh, chuh-chuh.... chuh-chuh-chuh-chuh WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!"
Or something to that effect
Nadja is done 14 seconds in and by the time they're halfway through the second verse she's ready to throw her bass at Meegs' head.
Thanks to Nadja and Mikey for showing up.
I just saw CC for the 3rd time in 2023 and Meegs was sounding great on the guitar!
He palm mutes like he's never played a guitar with a longer scale length. How did he get a signature that makes his playing worse?
He sounds great this was just some random performance they filmed probably at the Shecter Guitar Factory in California. I just saw Coal Chamber live in 2023 and they were just as good as they were back in the early 2000s when I saw them.
lol jesus christ

Gotta be that fucking amp he’s using
What did I just watch
NOOOOO! 😢 terribile!
Move in,Motion!!!!!!
Sloppy as hell. What is this?

I can't hear her. The guitar bleeds through
Coal Chamber sound is what defined my childhood

Gives me hope, that I too, can make it as a guitarist lol
What effects were they using at 2:14 on the guitar
Surely this is a joke, yeah??
Ooof....
Everything about this is bad. Everything.
Dude cant even play his own beyond simple song.
well... that was embarrassing.
Excellent . Great mixing perfect tone . Hope there are more songs coming out from this session .
damn, this was kinda cringe to watch, meegs can't play that guitar.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is bad....really bad....
Omg that tone is atrocious lol and why is the playing so sloppy? Were those harmonics on purpose? Doesn’t sound like they were lol
И как только Шектеру не стыдно этих бедолаг в эфир пускать? Позор.
Coal Chamber is amazing bro. I saw them live 3 times and they were incredible in concert!

Yeah, I saw them for the 3rd time during the summer of 2023 and they sounded much better than they do in this video.
Why didn't he retune it?! Guitars aren't locked to one tuning
