That's Fred Mascherino. Who is doing his own thing now under his own band name "the color Fred." I mention it because he's still absolutely got it and he does cheap emo night concerts that are fucking awesome and like $12. One hundred percent recommend it!
Back in elementary when i first heared this on the radio i knew already this is a real banger song. Up to now 2024 still listening to this beatiful melody. Makes me teary at some point
@@karimabdelkarim6437 hell yeah it ain’t. My favorite part was the duel vocals cause I always wanted to sing , but not be lead singer as a guitar player
Adam is one of those people whose voice makes me happy regardless of performance. I guess just the frequency of it. I'd listen to a "bad" performance of his over most good performances from others
I love this band. Adam is a great vocalist with amazing stage presence. I miss Fred, Matt, and Eddie. That was a great time for the band as far as instruments go, there was some really good stuff there. Iconic
Skill wise it was better too. Matt is a jazz bassist before TBS. Fred pretty much wrote all the 2nd and 3rd album songs. Eddie is a great rhythm guitarist. Lastly, Mark makes the music heavy.
Is being super off key great now? I love how bands fans will just lie to the world and act like the band has no faults even when theyre fucking singing wildly off key lmfao
@@user-oh3oz1hm7f Hey Bucko! Didn’t say this was a great vocal performance, you must’ve misread what I wrote. He is a great vocalist. As far as recording something you can’t perform live, hey, I’m sure he meant well or thought he’d be able to tour and perform live nightly and maintain his vocal performance. That is a tough song as far as vocals go 💯 I personally don’t need a band to sound exactly like they do in the studio to enjoy them live, as long as the stage presence and entertainment value is there. I’ve seen them a handful of times throughout the years, with both good sounding nights from him and bad. That’s show biz baby!
*earlier at soundcheck* “Sir, please don’t do that with the microphone” -What am I supposed to do with my hands then? -“I don’t know... put them in your pockets or something...”
@@RileyFreeman8 i don’t think he sounds horrible for punk and emo standards by any means. if you’re comparing him to typical mainstream singers, sure. but this is alternative music.
Adams vocals have improved so much since this it’s amazing to see for everyone saying they suck live I challenge you to see them now and hold that same opinion
It's just a very hard song to sing. You're comparing a studio recorded take that was recorded multiple times until just right to a live performance which was probably pretty close to the release of this song releasing so they didn't play it as much. This is not me defending TBS bc I like them (I only listen to like 10 songs) it's me defending someone because singing is hard as hell.
He pulls it out a few times and has a brace of some sort on it. You can tell he forgets it's out of his pocket and quickly puts it back in to hide the brace for some reason.
Yeah he's with his other band The Color Fred and they're making good music still! :D check em out on youtube. Fred also goes live every sunday on youtube, it's pretty dope
This is great but also as a singer gives me anxiety to see how hard they were pushing their voices on a nightly basis out of their ranges essentially. No fucking wonder Adam can’t sing anymore. Fred still can but that’s because he isn’t doing Taking Back Sunday music anymore. Miss this lineup so much.
Honestly I don’t think this performance was that bad. You have to keep in mind the acoustics in this place are not going to be that great, as well as the equipment, and there’s a silent audience. Also, The Fred era was the best era. No contest
@@tjshultz89 this is pretty much every live video they have. There's one posted 6 years ago with singer before they took Nolan back which was pretty good. But nah... one of my favorite bands... def not good live. Seen them so many times that i don't even remember the number of times ive seen them. Still fun to watch because for us adults now these guys are legends. And everyone gets involved singing along every word. But out of the thounsands of live performances online there's only one good live performance. But thats how most of us fans like it. Its the garage band era.
Good songs. Good instrument playing. Definitely good showmanship. But can't sing live. Never did, never will. Just about every band in that era, who played the same genre can't sing live too. But, at least they didn't use auto-tune.
He also plays guitar and bass . But just doesn’t do it as lead singer. He was bass player for tbs before he was lead singer. And he also writes a lot of his songs on guitar by himself ...he didn’t use his voice properly . That’s why he can’t hit notes anymore live because he strained and ruined his voice from untrained screaming around the first and 2nd album

Mark in the back killing it with those drums. I miss the 2000s
I miss this era of music
Came straight from an office meeting 😂
Back up vocals are on point
The more I watch taking back Sunday the more I think that Fred was actually the core of the sound that makes me love them
Fred was always on point. So was Matt Rubano.
@@Alex_BertubesocksFred's an amazing performer. He plays some tbs songs to this day and still hits every note
How to torture adam...
"Dont even touch the mic"
"don't take your hand out of your pocket"
“Don’t move your hair away from your eye”

Look at how beast the drummer is lol such energy
This is a fucking hard song to sing. I think he's absolutely killing it!!
He was struggling with the intro which is the easiest part of the song
The way he just sits there hugging him at the end he looks like a happy child omg
One of the better hugs conan gets.
I wonder if the studio told them "no mic swinging" for some reason so Adam had to try really hard to not grab the mic lol.
i miss these days omg
Best line up.

No it’s true, I tried and nearly died😂
@@gothgirlgraveyard3539 i don't even try it tbh. i'd need to be born 4 times to even hit some of the notes.

they had lots of energy and did a very good job...
Don't know what you guys are talking about XD
for everyone criticizing adam’s vocals here, it’s a really hard song to sing and for that i think he did quite well
Then they shouldn't structure the song to be outside of his comfortable singing range. He sounds horrible.
Nah he just sucks live in general watch other vids
@@RileyFreeman8 i don’t think he sounds horrible for punk and emo standards by any means. if you’re comparing him to typical mainstream singers, sure. but this is alternative music.

the entire song?
And now they close everyshow with this Banger
Don’t attack me, I actually like his voice😅
me too🔥
Me too
Who are attacking you? His voice is good.
@@xfinity8602 well idk, people did seem quite bothered by his voice
@@gonpachio I think it’s because mainstream music is always so smooth and autotuned so a lot of people hate the grit/rasp in rock and metal.
😍 caralho que lindo isso
Anyone who thinks the vocal performance wasn’t good has ridiculously high standards
Or they have ears...
Get outta here 😂. Vox sucked
Fred was the best thing to happen to tbs
He was nervous damn
Nervous Damn Sure
It's not that bad in my opinion 🤘
Turn it the fuck up!!!
“Wow you’re tall” 😂
Adams vocals have improved so much since this it’s amazing to see for everyone saying they suck live I challenge you to see them now and hold that same opinion
This makes no sense. Louder Now was his peak as a vocalist, nowadays he can’t sing at all
Bro, just saw them live recently... he can't sing like this anymore, this was his peak, if he ever had one.
This just goes to show how heavily bands like this and Panic At The Disco were touched up in studio post production
Brendon Urie is actually a great singer
Brendon Urie absolutely did not he’s brilliant

I thought they were pretty good live when compared to most musicians live
?? wtf
🖤
It makes me irrationally angry that he spends 99% of the performance with his hand in his pocket.
He couldn't touch and swing the mic lol
Its kinda cool imo
The one who got a life wouldnt care about this
@@Apokalypseplease the one with the life wouldn't be commenting some hateful bullshit for no reason like you just did. Stfu.
He pulls it out a few times and has a brace of some sort on it. You can tell he forgets it's out of his pocket and quickly puts it back in to hide the brace for some reason.
He doesn’t even know what to do with his hand without the mic in it 😂
better than tom delonge used to be live at least
Depends on what era, he sucked the most after the first reunion
Yeah but hes tom delonge he makes it cool
Tom Delonge Early on sounded like a squirrel and that’s what I loved about it
He kind of looks like him too
Gotta consider how much of these are compressed vocals. Live probably sounded REALLY tight
I wonder what happened to them I believe Fred the backup vocalist/ guitar isn't he in another band?
Yeah he's with his other band The Color Fred and they're making good music still! :D check em out on youtube. Fred also goes live every sunday on youtube, it's pretty dope
late show with stephen colbert
They should bring Fred or Matthew fazzi back to replace Eddie.
fazzi was so good its unbelievable
VUST never knew he was that good.
I must be the only one in love with Brand New and TBS
No you're not cos I love em both too lmao
no?? they are mainstream you are not unique
Brand New is amazing
Adam , not being able to swing the mic is not Adam
Those backup vocals tho
This is great but also as a singer gives me anxiety to see how hard they were pushing their voices on a nightly basis out of their ranges essentially. No fucking wonder Adam can’t sing anymore. Fred still can but that’s because he isn’t doing Taking Back Sunday music anymore. Miss this lineup so much.
It’s supposed to be whiny that’s this style, regardless if the recorded version is much better lol
Im waiting for him to throw the mic..
I really wish they would’ve lowered the key for him.
What does he give Conan?
A hug
@@I_am_Jordan_K lol’d
Adam is struggling. Probably been on tour for a minute when they played on Conan
2024
They both sound like they're struggling with hitting the high notes and sound off-key singing the chorus.
That’s what makes live great
It’s how you know it’s live, not lip synced
what did those poor drums do to Mark to deserve that beating?
What did he give Conan?
Honestly I don’t think this performance was that bad. You have to keep in mind the acoustics in this place are not going to be that great, as well as the equipment, and there’s a silent audience.
