    i love how he bluntly doesn't know how to control his voice nor has a good voice but still manages to make all his songs sound magically amazing and outstanding, this is what we call pure talent and genius

    • @Beisush
      @Beisush 6 років тому +28

      his voice isn't really "not good" he just doesn't know how to control it yet. his voice is actually pretty good and suited for the genre for sure.
      edit: he hits most notes and I assure you he knows when he's off, as you said, pure talent, and with that I would assume he has semi perfect/perfect pitch. just a thought.

      @aislingeveleen5395 6 років тому +18

      I've seen tfb live a few times and his voice sounds different when he's: nervous, drunk or been touring for a long time. He probably didn't warm up properly or was nervous. Brian is good at singing but not in a conventional way which is what's so charming about it. He definitely knows how to control his voice because he knows what to emphasise depending on the vibe of the room.

    my favorite thing about the front bottoms is that no matter how big they get they genuinely just feel like a couple of dudes who make music sometime. I've never seen a band this personal, even bands that project themselves as personal it always ends up feeling like a façade but tfb is the real deal.

    I understand you don't like the music but here I go. You said the message was rather strange. Well to me it is a real life message. To me the front bottoms music flows like a real life conversation and that is one reason I love them. Brian is trying to explain how he would do anything he had to be with the girl is he singing about. He feels as though he is drowning in his love for her. That is what I get out of it anyway and I think it's beautiful. His voice is different but in a good way
