oli sykes is so underappreciated for his vocals. I'm always super impressed
On tape. He's never been able to deliver like the best do live
@@harrymc523 you must not have seen any clips of recent concerts. he's at his peak right now and sounds better than ever
@@harrymc523go listen to the live at royal Albert hall album. Dude slays Empire way better than the studio version
@@ryanc1414he also did that again few days ago in London
@@harrymc523 ??? Coment. Literally he is in his prime in vocal terms!
Omg Chris is having multiple eargasms 😂😂
😂😂 I noticed. Love his Iove for this.
Oli improved so much over the years. I am glad his voice improved and sounds more healthy
And he can perform them live. I remember when he couldn't keep that up on tour.
Always appreciated Oli's vocal performances and I totally agree, he's surpassed himself here. And man, what a hell of a song we got here.
And the fact that he's back to some of his old sounds (mostly during antivist and diamonds aren't forever), but this time without wrecking his voice... just awesome
Yeah it's almost like he just took some "time off to recover" with softer albums and now he is ready to GO. 😄
It is so awesome seeing how excited you get hearing certain sounds
Yes! I love it. I can feel it with him.
The part just after the first chorus is the best part of the entire song, its a shame it only lasts like 5 seconds. It makes me feel some sort of euphoria that's so hard to describe. Similar to the entire chorus of AmEN!. Absolutely love it
I really hope that some of they're next singles to come and a few on the album that show them going back to their roots a little. They do heavy so well
Couldn't agree more
I agree with you both, at the same time i think its heavy + that mixed genre that t🎉hey have become.
I agree, but I also think that that’s what makes these more heavy and intense parts sound so good. We don’t hear them as often so you appreciate it more. At least I love this style now
it is funny to see a musician jamming to a song I have on repeat the last week, yes, that's exactly why!
Saw them play this live a couple days ago at the O2 in London. Oli has some helper tracks for sure in parts but he can still scream out the highs and lows when he wants. Suffice to say it was brutal standing in the crowd when this came on 😂
jelly. hope they headline LtL next summer.
I wouldn't say helper tracks. Bking Track's sure. But it would sound weird without all the layers that are already in the songs, to just not have it there. And JJ did a great job at backing vocals for the most part. A little weak on the acoustic version of strangers. But he's been thrown in the deep end with not much time to practice. I think he will come on in leaps and bounds though. Maybe even become a permanent fixture. Who knows. That's up to JJ though. I heard he was happy with just being with them on tour. Which seems to be most of the time since COVID.
I know the melody is basic music theory but I havnt heard a contrast like that in all my time and it creates such an incredible experience of a song
This is definitely my favorite of all their recent tracks
9:55 honestly, same lmao
😂😂
Aaaaahhhhhh. Lol.❤
Dude you seem so excited to listen to the music and break it down that it makes me excited to watch it along with you
Saw BMTH last week - incredible. Oli's voice is unmatched.
I’m not a singer but you help me appreciate music so much more. I went and listened to can you feel my heart right after watching this and can totally appreciate the expansion of oli’s repertoire.
I’ve literally been waiting for you to do this one! I knew you would. Please can we get Oli on your channel?? ☠️🔥
That would be amazing.
Unfortunately he doesn’t like talking about singing/screaming. He said so in a Cameo video he did for me. Basically he said it’s difficult for him because it comes from a place of passion and it’s hard to explain. He was very timid about it for such a talented person.
@@emkstr yeah. He's very humble when he has to talk about himself. In most videos I've seen him. You can tell he's anxious the whole time. But they didn't have to just talk about vocals. Bet he's dreading any interviews right now, because the Jordan question will be on repeat non stop. And it's got to be a tough 1 to discuss.
@@carolinecoy3164yeah I’ve noticed it too, he is kinda insecure about himself and very shy. That’s really controversial if you think the power he has while performing on stage 😢
I got jumpscared when you screamed GO, I didnt see that coming but you have a beautiful voice...HOW DO U DO THAT
thanks! I can show you how I do all of it, and how you can do it too! start by joining my free course linked in the description or pinned comment!
@@chrisliepe you can't teach anyone though. I can kinda sing. Wish I'd had vocal lessons. But my bro and hubby are totally tone deaf. It's funny though. And they know they're time deaf so we can laugh about it.
Really love the facial expressions you make during the reaction!
This track was so fun & challenging to work on (coz there's obviously SO much involved in that vocal) - glad you "get" it & appreciate it 👏 (Oli's vocal coach)
I love this, I love to see you just excited as I am about his voice. None of my family members or friends feel it as I do. Its demonic and angelic at the same time. I get Chester vibes of him and I just love it...I just fuckin love it
I waited for you to react for the song eagerly!!!
The vocals here are just so (like you said) tasty!! they feel like every line is executed *exactly* like I would want it to be executed. So fun!!!
9:49 giddy laughter got me dying hahaha great breakdown Chris!
Your reactions to this video are as satisfying as the (amazing) music itself , love how into you get !
I agree about the “oh my dear” part. The melody is so good, there’s something about it that really resonates with me. That specific part has been stuck in my head for a while now.
This live last week was amazing! It was like a tidal wave, so much excitement and then calmness
his voice take me to bring me the horizon when its my first time throne in Videoke here in Philippines, like dude wow love that voice.
"That was tasty too.. I'm using that word a lot" I love Chris😆
Known the band since late 00s but haven't tried it until I listened to their latest single. I was so awed with the production and they are so tight. Been my earworm since. I love how you are so excited with certain parts and been replaying like my first listen lol
You should check out some of the videos from there latest uk tour. I have been going to see this band for 18 years and I could never have guessed where they would be this far down the line. It is really incredible. Oli’s voice has never been better. Easily one of the best live vocalists in the genre.
Agreed. I was blown away when I saw them in September 21, But they're even better now. Oli's Vocals are so much stronger and so amazing live now right. He used to be hit and miss, but when he hit it was glorious. Wish I'd seen the royal Albert hall show. The fact that they used the intro for that was sooooo good. Very emotional with the old clips of them, Inc Chester. 😮 That was great. And noah sabastian is an amazing live vocalist too. When they did antivist together. That was great. Sadly no yungblud in Sheffield. Wish I'd seen them at the 02 aswell now. Love this band. And the leaked songs sounded great
I got to see this for my first concert, my mind never left that arena 😔
Nice analys vid Chris
I love watching you get so excited about these songs man
Been waiting for you to do this video. Man this song is by far my favorite one so far. Insanity, beautiful chords, amazing chord change on 3rd part of chorus man its great
Great work Chris…. Love your passion❤
FINALLY FINALLY FINALL FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY
Also very very sad about Jordan, was such an important member of the band, especially for backing vocals. Live performances have taken a hit, whoever the replacement back up vocalist is decent but Jordan’s voice just fitted perfectly with oli’s
John Jones. He's been on tour with them as a rhythm guitarist for about a decade now. I think he did a great job for the most part. But he has been thrown in the deep end with barely any practice. There's plenty of time for him to improve. Jordan had already been a bking vocalist in his own band. And Oli taught him to scream. Get JJ in some vocal lessons and see what he can bring. He's got something there to work with for sure. I missed Jordan when they did the acoustic version of strangers and doomed. Which are very tricky vocals. But other than that. He did great.
What happened to Jordan?
@@MrLinkinJason he's left the band. Doing music with spirit box apparently.
@@carolinecoy3164 oh damn
@@MrLinkinJason I know. Shame. I mean they said it was amicable. But who knows. Will miss Jordan. But BMTH will be just fine without him. It's always been oli's vision. So whatever comes next would have anyway. And Oli can produce bits himself and then get other companies to do the rest. which is what they did anyway.
Loving this song. Keeps growing on me. Will have to watch after work to cathc you're thoughts
Thank`s Chris! Best reaction so far
What a song indeed. Loved your reaction!💜
Love your take on these wow!
Love the song too it’s insane.
You do very well at analyzing a song especially bmth. I’ve never seen someone do so well at analyzing a song. You broke down each part for it for what it was when it need to be analyzed and you are great
What a great song! I discover new music thanks to your videos.
Me encantan tus análisis desde que empezaste a escuchar a BMTH y las explicaciones. Aprendí a crujir bien la voz por ti :)
This is the reaction I needed😠😠😍😍
Love how you analyze the voice structure and explain it. And your “kid in a candy store” expressions are adorable.
First time I’ve seen this guy, and his reactions are fucking incredible 😂 HE’S SO EXCITED it’s too cute 🥺
This song live was insane!!!! And that middle part with those ohhhhhs while the mosh pit was forming is insane
he's grown so much as a vocalist in 20 years it's insane
Amigo, la pasión con la qué haces tú trabajo es tan grande y admirable que se nota a simple vista, tienes mi suscripción y mi Like ❤️
I just discovered your videos and i just love seeing how much you enjoy every part and every single detail in the song, and also its great recognizing that excitement you feel
Thank you so much!!
Seen Bmth live last night and it was one of best concerts iv ever been to ( supporting acts were Bad Omens and a pretty unknown UK band called Static Dress which were both amazing aswell). Oli actually got the whole Venue to sing a few lyrics for an upcoming song on the new album that they are working on which was incredible. He genuinely ADORES his fans and supporters and crew, the whole band is very special kind of people which i love!
“You should’ve known” at the end 12:34 he doesn’t scream the know part he exaggerates the word he doesnt scream it.
fun seeing you describe his lizard voice
Hey man, love your videos! I just wanted to ask if you wouldn't mind checking out/ doing more of a deep dive in Shaun Morgan's voice from seether ? I love his rasp and really would like to learn how to get that sound. I love the song "Pass Slowly" cause of his range in it but in the song "Like Suicide" he does some screams which are super impressive! Thanks!
9:53 my man jizzed lmao
I will forever feel robbed at the fact that the only concert they've ever played near me that I could go to was cancelled due to hurricanes... God, I wish I could have seen them live!
Couldn't anticipate any of that on the first listen - very original track in terms of chord progs / vocal melodies and timbres 👌🏼
Just seen them in Sheffield on Friday. And OMG. I was nervous about Jordan not being there,. And I didn't think they could top when i saw them in 2021. But was i wrong. The stage set up. Oli's vocals perfection 😘. JJs bking vocals (for tbe most part). His softer tone isn't that great, especially when they did the acoustic version of strangers,😬. But thats the only time i thought, damn i miss Jordan. But hes been thrown in the deep end, si theyve got time to work on that fir sure. But overall. Outstanding. . . Plus bad omens did a perfect performance too. Amazing night.. Theres rumours Jordan has moved onto spiritbox. And im not so keen on her vocals at all. But I'll see what Jordan brings to the mix. I said i would follow his career. So i will defo check it out ifbits true.
Amazing break down as always though. X
this song is just SO HEAVENLY GOOD
What a statement indeed!
Hey Chris! Loved this analysis. I know you’ve probably gotten this request lots of times since you reviewed Ado’s music, but I sincerely ask you to check Eve out. Also a Japanese artist. How to Eat Life, Kaikai Kitan, Fightsong… lots of great songs. Incredible vocal technique.
Hi Chris I'm such a big fan of yours, I love your reaction videos and how you analyze the vocals of each artists. Anyways Nate Vickers and Rory Rodriguez released a new cover of MakeDamnSure together and I think you'll love the contrast between the vocal techniques of those two legendary vocalists.
Hey Chris, I'm just a new subscriber and I find your analysis very good and informative, I like how you demonstrate how the vocal rage work.
I know you've got lot request by now, but I would love to see your analysis on Enna Alouette - Skyfall cover, original song by Adele, if you find her cover interesting ,and if doesn't have copyright trouble 😅
Her cover was uploaded by youtube channel named " Karaoke Ch. " since the livestreaming cover was unarchive type
Enna sang the song during the live streaming, and it was said by her viewers she sang the song while she's drunk at the time, so that's pretty interesting to listen to. Cheers!
Bro gets it
Love how expressive your reaction was! 🖤 Would be cool to see you react to some Blind Channel, e. g. Deadzone, Die another day, Snake or Left outside alone 😊
YES! YES YES YES YES YES
Always loved BMTH first i heard was pray for plagues , sempiternal was amazing album and there just such a consistent band . saw them at download 2023 amazing .
13:11 he started speaking COD zombie
This was an awesome video and an even more awesome song! I would love it if you would do an analysis of Fit for a King's new single "Keeping Secrets" next if you please. 😁
If youre in the mood for something really different but really interesting, I'd recommend checing out The Amazing Devil. The band specializes in these super cool vocal duets that you might really like.
You should check the official live version
First time I heard this I knew for sure it was BMTH. Brought me back to circa 2008/2009.
chris make a cover of this song 🔥
I dont know if youve heard or already seen but i would LOVE to see your reaction to Crown the empires newer song Dogma, i think it really is great
Ohohohoho😂😂😂 powerfull riff and this song omfsh!t!!!!🤟🏿🤟🏿🤟🏿
Some of the background vocal runs remind me of The Smiths like in Bigmouth Strikes Again
I have yet to experience a more sincere giggle than the giggle at 9:49. I love it!😂
I would absolutely recommend to check Kim Dracula. One of the most exciting and most multidimensional artist vocally currently. Seventy Thorns would be a perfect first song :)
Bring Me The Vocal Pitch
that solo sounds like something whitechapel wrote
There's a reason why bring me the horizon is the best band of his generation amazing explanation great 💯 face expression though out the video.
The Plot In You - Closure. please!
I'm not kidding this might be the best song of this generation.
You should check out Darko US - Bunnysuit. I think you’d enjoy it.
Leaving a tasty comment for the algorithm
Yo parkway drive when?
You should love LANDMVRKS - Creature when it comes to feels 😊❤
The last chorus takes me higher than marijuana could
PLEASE DANNY WORSNOP ASKING ALEXANDRIA HES VOCAL LEGEND IIN METALCORE
they are just phenomenal
Dont wanna be that guy, but could you please do a vocal analysis of Avatar -Dance Devil Dance. I really want to know what vocal techniques are used in that song.
The start sounds very manson like
Songs that are very very very difficult to sing at karaoke...lol
Dear @chrisliepe, thank you so much for your videos, I love them!!
Could you please analyse any live performance of Oli Sykes with BMTH? I am so very interested in your opinion concerning his breath control, compression and screaming when performing live.
For example, at Rock am Ring 2023 ua-cam.com/video/zSwqLsuJRY0/v-deo.html .
It seems that Oli releases all his breath quickly and the one who was really reliable and highly skilled was Jordan Fish (seems that he has the cleanest vocals and screams).
I'm comparing it to Chester Bennington's breath control on screams like here ua-cam.com/video/M_y-cjcg0QQ/v-deo.html , and it seems like Chester really could undergo the live performance, while for Oli it's much harder.
Thank you in advance, I'm really getting a lot of use from your videos!
If people understood what the lyrics talk about ... 🤯😰
I like fruit punch Kool aid.
Don't sell it hear 😢
But I wouldn't want any of the kool-aid Oli is talking about. 😬😬

they dont need jordan they were fine without him before theyre gonna keep experimenting like they always have and evolving
JJ was thrown in the deep end. And he's got so much time to improve for sure. I think he's got potential to be really great. But other than that. I think they'll be more than fine,like you said. Not guna lie. I was upset. But I'm over it. The route the band has gone has always been oli's vision anyway. And he can produce himself now. Aswell as the help he gets. But they always had extra producers, even when Jordan was doing it. So it's sad. But not the end of the world. Maybe he'll improve spirit box. If the rumours are true. Not my thing. Her vocals kinda grate me. Not into the sound of women screamers. Apart from cassyette. Her screams live were amazing. I was surprised. And her from spritbox ruined nihilist blues when she joined Oli on stage. But that's Just my opinion. We like what we like. Or not. But Amy Lee set the bar for that,so pretty hard to top.
Still autotuning live? :(
Oli should take some lessons from guys like you. Maybe that way he wouldn't be lip syncing half of his choruses live lol (I say this as a bmth fan).
I haven't seen them live (yet) but especially with these types of vocal arrangements... I can see why he'd use helper tracks. You're right tho... not everyone, even with the most complex and challenging songs, needs to do this. Spencer from Periphery for example. NAILS stuff and it's ALL LIVE!
@@chrisliepeMy observations from seeing them on their current tour is that Oli is never fully lip syncing. Vocal support is either from JJ (replacing Jordan) to let Oli catch his breath during choruses, or the extra layered vocals that are on the record . I could always hear Oli's voice over the supporting tracks, I think he or JJ is always singing the lead parts.
Agreed on this. Lots of layering, and some of it *is* likely extra melody to boost Oli on more difficult sections. This can give the appearance of lip synching, and some people believe it is essentially lip synching. But personally, I'd rather experience a fuller sound in a live performance than the vocals be stripped down and 100% live only. A front man's performance is about far more than just vocals anyway, IMO.@@longbow46
Lip syncing!. bking track is not the same as lip syncing mate. If they didn't use the backing track,it wouldn't sound right. There's so many layers to their tracks,I'd would sound weird/sh1te. I saw them on Friday. And there's no way he was lip syncing. If he was,then the guy should be acting in movies. Because he's 1 hell of a actor. Could see the veins popping out,the red face,and him on the floor doing long screams. He was on the big screens mostly too, and you would have seen a F up at some point. You can tell when it's fake. Cassyette were lip syncing,but she was told not to sing,by a GP. And it's better than having to cancel. And Oli had a vocal coach btw. A very good 1.
@@carolinecoy3164 And I am that vocal coach ;)
I don't agree with stopping the song every 4 seconds. You've ruined the song.
Go listen to the song then, this video is for him to explain things, are you lost?
