Chad Gray sings and screams with a beastly variety of different distortion flavors. Join me as I dive into to several of Mudvayne's biggest songs, using short studio recording samples.
We'll study Chad's distortion and compression and his approach to his different types of screams. We'll also get to look at his clean singing and how he uses it in particular ways to make his gritty singing even more paint-peeling!
Its funny hearing a polished singer try to hit the grit and growl of a Chad who has been doing it for years. My take is that Chad invented a sound and then added singing to it. You watch his warm ups in the behind the scene stuff and he is working those vocal chords over. I have always appreciated Chad for how he can flow in and out of screaming and singing.
Chad is an underrated vocalist. Awesome as always, Chris.
Fuckin ay bro
Fr my favorite vocalist
you obviously eat crayons if you think he sound ANYTHING like chad grey.
@@dirrtyb313 yea this guy doesnt know how to sound like chad he playing
@@gutted_infant Is his technique flawed or is it the fact that it's almost impossible to match a mostly raw demonstration to a studio (most likely) heavily processed record? We're also not considering how different individuals possess different vocal timbres, resonances and whatnot.
Next time be sure to expand on the issues that the content you criticize holds (And I'm not saying that there are no flaws). And lastly, ThugZ? I think you made a typo while searching for 'How to rap like Lil Pump'.
Mudvayne`s first 3 albums especially the first two L.D50 and End Of All Things To Come were just lyrically genius and played with a finessed dark complexity they were top elites in the short lived Numetal era they were of legendary sratus hand down....
" played with a finessed dark complexity"
Never heard it put so wonderfully and accurately
Agreed then with the later albums as much love as I have for them they weren't nearly as impactful
Ld 50 is the second album. There's one before it called the beginning of all things to end. I'm not a fan of it though but it exists.
@@ExerciseNFreedom yeah there demo I think it was titled mate, feed, kill repeat I tried looking for the original found some holy shit 300 to 400 which is I shouldn't be shocked because now that's a rare find
@@horror_fam0847that's slipknot
6:47 this moment is too classic.
You noticing this makes it even more epic Lmao
Wow! Chad Gray's vocals have far more depth and complexity than I ever realized. I remember when they came out with LD50 when I was a kid. This was such a treat! Thank you.
I’ve always felt Chad was incredibly talented and since L.D. 50 played a major role in teaching myself how to do these kinds of vocals it gave me an early appreciation and understanding of just how challenging his stuff truly is. I guarantee you that knowing his personality it was just pure passion and aggression that he figured it out through. And that may be why he’s a bit weathered these days. On top of being a heavy smoker. But gott damn did he make his sacrifices count. Truly a unique voice
I seen Mudvayne last year and 2 weeks ago. Both times, Chad has sounded amazing. Idk how much is supported by backing track, though.
I love chad gray and MuDvAyNe thank you for doing this video.
Chris’ intro always makes me chuckle when he is about to jump into heavy metal vocal analysis.
love his tone, he is so unique... I chase that kind of singularity in my voice
I got the chance to see Mudvayne live in a small club in South Florida. Chad’s voice was brutal.
Saw em at Rockville 2021, friggen awesome!
I could watch countless hours on this. I need more Mudavayne/Chad analization! I always knew there was so much going on with his voice, and you were able to explain it amazingly. Gonna check out more of your videos. #newsub
Thanks for the sub!!
Finally one of my favourite singers of all time in one of my favourite my favourite bands.. Cheers!
Enjoy!
I hope you mean Mudvayne and not Hellyeah xD
@@dermitdendreir mudvayne for ever man!!
I love how Chris is the kindest looking guy, but when he screams, the evil faces are there 😂 Anyway, amazing video man! Keep it up:)
Arguably my all time favorite either Chad Gray but i love Ivan Moody too, that's why I requested this. That being said thanks Chris very appreciated man!
So interesting tidbit of information about myself that helps my vocals to match some of Chad's vocals. I had my tonsils, adenoids removed and my soft palett trimmed due to sleep apnea. when I force the vocals towards the upper throat area, it automatically pulls down my lower sinuses and creates the false notes. Its a hinderance on most guttural growls but fits Chad's tones perfectly.
Glad it was helpful!
I have loved Mudvayne ever since I saw Ghostship at the movies in 2002. Lol. I've seen them play live twice in Australia. Awesome band 🤟👍.
Your my new favorite channel
Screams turorial made me realise that I was arleady on the go path with my voice.
But its the different range of loudness bettween these to type of vocals distorsion that i'm not sure about. Thank you my man
YEAAAH, always very interesting to see your vocal analysis and expand knowledge. Could you look into Mudvayne's Prod or Severed in the future? Chad is impeccable on these songs, thanks for the video!
I really love those two tracks too, killer stuff from l.d. 50.
I agree, great unique vocal work on Prod and Severed
Mudvayne - pretty underrated!
Very underrated vocalist Chad is awesome
So this is cool I used to really like him. He is dynamic. But more importantly I can do it now. I can pitchless scream and now I’m gonna toy with pitched Chester screams again. I’m so happy after like a year.
2 very good Chad Gray parts i haven't been able to get down are 1. "I'm not the only one!" At the end of (Per)version Of A Truth. And 2. "I have, i hold the key, to nothing, it's a small killing" from A Key To Nothing. Top notch Chad Gray.
This video helped me with getting a grasp at false cord distortion, very helpful
These videos are so good Chris, keep them coming. I love your madness in the explanations.
I’ve been looking for this video for YEARS thank you sooo much
You're welcome!
Love a bit of Mudvayne! Great breakdown 🔥
This is the coolest thing I've seen in a while. Thank you isn't enough!
Hey nice tutorial I'm a shouter since 15 years and I really love the mudvayne tracks, 'cause Chad has always pushed my skills to the limit. So I mastered him very long time ago. Just humbled over some nostalgic tracks, for instrumental records to record voice over by my own. I;ve never thought that it would be so hard for people, who are not familiar with this genre, it must be to figure out how to do amazing shoutings. I just skipped through the video and you think are nailing the comparisons. To slowly let your voice find the right spot. Good work
You're awesome Chris thank you so much for doing what you do!!! All the best!
Thank you, I have been waiting for this😁 thanks for listening to suggestions and requests
Hope you like it!
Man...i was waiting for sooo long thabk you chris i requested this a long time thank u so much Chris :)
Great video overall!! Very nice demonstrations on how to put the techniques of Chad Gray in your own voice.
yess!! love this! amazing video, thank you chris!!! so helpful!!
I've been trying to sing like Mudvayne for over 15 years and this was quite helpful. ✌️✌️✌️. (sheddy shreds is my vocal channel, I hope to soon show an updated take on "happy", using what I've seen here.) I downloaded this to my phone and will watch many times 🙂
technically awesome and executed in a really catchy and entertaining way, , that is the essence of passing valuable knowledge from one human to another. Brilliant Chris!
one of my favorite vocalists. in the song Human by HELLYEAH, the production of the background vocals in the chorus is AWESOME. i would sooo love to see a video with that part included
Great video Chris. 15:18 really made me laugh when you were in the flow of that kinda mumbling chanting tone he does haha
I don't know how I missed this. I wanted to see you cover Chad's vocals since you started doing these. He's a very dynamic singer and uses a lot of different techniques.
Yessss I asked for some Chad gray a few weeks ago Chris always gives the people what they want with the highest quality I don't wanna be cringe but HELLYEAH
I see what you did there
@@killerspyder1 I just do what I do
Man, your tricks to improve vocals are simply awesome. Your videos are so great to improve vocals, in a couple months, I got more progress than I got in 20 years. Thank you so much for your work.
This is great to hear! I'm so happy they have helped!
Thank you for this brother
Great video Awesome great music. So sound. Singing audio. 👍 Chris.
Great vid Chris, you always seem to know exactly which roadblock I'm trying to work through! This'll surely help as I'm running out of air learning to get better with compression. As always I'd like to request Thrice, but also a reaction to Bad Omens - Like A Villain. I think that song has a lot of elements that you can speak to with your style of singing and coaching
HOLY CRAP! I THINK I SUGGESTED THIS ONE TIME! THANK YOU! I LOVE MUDVAYNE AND HELL YEAH!
I could watch this guy all night
Mudvyane rocks! Amazing video Chris, I do recommend you check out In Flames I'd love to hear your thoughts on Anders vocals!
Lots and lots of autotune
@@homevalueglass3809 ??
I really like this videos.
Seems weired to me that you haven't made a "How to sing like Brent Smith" video yet, I think you'd nail his techniques, and for me he is a really good singer.
He'd be a good one to do for sure!
@@chrisliepe agreed
@@chrisliepe 2 words for you chris.... DAX RIGGS! Please and thank you! You're awesome man!
You makes it look so easy😂
Thank you so much for your break downs, i feel like you've helped me improve so much. I would love for an analysis of Darroh Sudderth from Fair to Midland! He has a voice i cannot figure out
It's funny to hear you say "I can't quite get this fry tone" at 9:40, because when I started singing, I was actually reaching for screaming and growling like those 2010 emo screamo bands that only does false chords screaming, and now that I've trained clean singing for quite some time, I clearly understand what you mean. I know that I need to practice again, but when I try to reach those high false chords notes, my true vocal chords take the ascendant and it's just not powerful enough, like I hear the crackling of the scream, but it's not like before.
Damn bro you’re on fire lately 🤟🏻🤟🏻
Thanks!
@@chrisliepe thank you!! If you could please do jinjer soon…and maybe another video on real low growls..for some reason I’m decent on everything else but I run out of breath on low low growls well as low as I can get I’m not great at it overall…but yeah you’re my favorite channel on UA-cam keep it up 🤟🏻🤟🏻
Thats more of the sound my throat produces all thanks to that throat singing. You can really exaggerate the sound and it can be easy to exaggerate it hard. This was real helpful for me. Thanks!
Yeeees! Finally someone is analyzing his vocals. Curious to what you have to say
HEAVY!!!
Thanks, like watching your videos and aren't even a singer. Always loved mudvaynes vocals
I just always thought the way he raps so fast in that song is so dope while he's screaming like that. Very hard to do. Chad is one of the greats.
per vertion of a truth kick ass
Great, great video bud. I think the only thing that would make it better is if maybe you did a vocal cover of one of the songs at the end. Might even be better to sing a song of the artist first, then break it down and show everyone how you got there. Loved the video, thank you. ❤
👉as LD50 was being released, while in london on tour, the rest of the band made him get vocal lessons-
The early part is the kind of distortion I have the most trouble with.
The one right before "DIG!" Is a dry scream; I think of it more like whispered distorted screaming than full-on disorted screaming. With respect, of course.
Edit: just heard you say that you haven't figured that one out. Can I teach you? 😀
As always Chris. This was an amazing break down. I have always been amazed by the vocal talent of Chad Gray. The textures he is able to create are mesmerizing. Thank you so much for this video. I have a question. Are you familiar with Brock Lindow, as a singer? If not. He is the lead singer for 36 Crazyfists. He would be a great singer to analyze his techniques. 36 Crazfists experiments with mixing time signatures, poetry in the lyrics, heavy guitar verses and a slap in the face at the bridge. I think you might like them.
Chad lookin like a monster on the thumbnail. Chad is who I learned to scream and sing from
Man I love how your break things down... Inspiring! Also, how great Is Chad Gray?
Meh he’s alright
Hell yeah! You should do a how to sing like Wayne Static video
Coming TOMORROW actually :) nice timing!
Wow, Chris, you are getting SO PUMPED for this lesson!
You're making me so fuckin' proud!
Sincerely,
A fan of every song Mudvayne has made.
Just finished the vid. I did NOT expect you to cover SO MANY aspects and samples of Chad's singing!
I've seen them live four times, and the best of them was on February 14th 2009. While Chad was finishing "Nothing to Gein", he had collapsed onto his knees for the entire end of the song while saying "soiled... soiled... soiled" and as his energy weakened, he was looking at me, in the front row, the entire time. He had given that song his all. He was wearing the gorilla suit the whole time, too.
I also met them in 2005 right before I joined the military. That was a funny, and incredibly brief, experience.
Amazing video as always Chris. Love the early Mudvayne cds with his fast paced screaming. I saw a clip of him on their recent tour and he was really struggling with his live vocals so that made me sad.
You gotta understand he hasn't been in Mudvayne in 12 years so it's going to take him some time to get his mojo back. From what I've heard recently he's getting there! I've seen Mudvayne live 7 times and they got better each time. Got to meet the whole band at a meet and greet and got my LD 50 DVD signed by them. Talked to Chad for 30 minutes with a group of other fans, dude is super cool and humble.
He also had covid at the time.
Hey Chris you should cover Caleb Shomo's (Beartooth) vocal techniques! He sounds so unique, particularly in the tracks "In Between" and "The Lines".
Ayeee niceeee job Chris lol. 😂🎸
Chris you gotta check out his Live version...Because his sound is actually comes from a lot of false chord and heavy breathing it's very similar to corey taylor's yell but Chad chooses to go all screeching like a Chain-Saw or something then he's a master in using mixed voice as you told and adding distortion to it where it's like not even a minor break in blending the voice...but in studio versions the producer's vision actually hides the rawness in his voice...but when you'll hear him live you'll notice he's actually a lot more heavier than the studio...ofcourse they're doubling the vocals but still his live sounds a lot heavier than his studio vocals because of the way they're mixed
so I'll say plz do analysis of his vocals with his live vocals
You should do Severed, Internal Primates Forever or Cradle. Those are my favorite Mudvayne songs!
Allow me to nerd out with you in a way I know you'll get, you're the first person I know to talk about the "ball of energy" focus method, I did this years ago before I started learning to sing with binaural meditation where you have a different tone playing in each ear and you hear it as one tone until you learn to focus to one ear or the other, it's a meditative technique that helps you develop focus and direction of attention. Where your mind goes your body will follow, so by focusing mentally on a direction or area your body responds. I use this ball of energy in life if I want to focus on something and tune out distraction.
That’s awesome Wes! It’s great when these practices show universal relevance!!
If you watch the movie they put out you can see chad always putting his face over a humidifier and really getting that flemmy ness going to help his vocal cords to slip. I’ve learned it does help in some ways. I’d like to take vocal lessons to crisp up my lows.
Impresionante
Great work as always,I wasn't expecting to see Mudvayne that's awesome. You must listen to Opeth, Mikael Akerfeldt's voice is incredible he's got an awesome clean vocal and one of the brutal growls, you should check it but I warn you there's a lot of content to research in opeths vocals so it's gonna be hard to not miss anything. I recommend you to check some songs from Still Life and Ghost Reveries.
I've been digging in a little to Opeth since people have started asking for a "sing like" video. You're not the first one to say it's a deep dive! Would you be up for responding with the top 7-8 songs/lines/sections you'd love to see and hear explained and reviewed?? I'll give you a shout out on the video when it comes out :)
@@chrisliepe Of course I'd be very happy to help you, as I've listened 12,000 minutes Opeth last year I think I can give you some "must to listen". Demon Of The Fall(2:33-3:02 for growl),Blackwater Park(full of growls one of the fan favorites), Beneath The Mire (6:05-6:20 one of my favorite growl/screams), Ghost Of Perdition(one of their popular songs, there is growls and screams also amazing cleans like 2:34-3:30), Reverie/Harlequin Forest (5:04-5:55 one of his best cleans,8:12-9:04 scream and deep growl),When(6:38-7:38 one of my favorite cleans, there are lots of growls in the song also) The Moor(8:28-9:03 my favorite clean), Moonlapse Vertigo(2:12-2:45, good clean and scream 7:15-8:04 my favorite line and I think some doubles here), Face Of Melinda(full cleans), Serenity Painted Death(7:00-8:05, cleans growls and screams) Opeth changed their style and they don't do growls anymore so if you want to check more cleans you should listen to Heart In Hand and Sorceress. Its so hard to give samples or lines from Opeth songs because their songs are long and there are a lot of amazing stuff on their every single song so you can check whole songs if you dont want to miss anything.
Really cool! Can you do Mikael from Opeth. Both growls and cleans! The Moor and Ghost of Perdition for examples!
id love to see an analysis of chad's work on LD50 specifically, he produced some of the most ferocious sounds ive ever heard on that album
even though a lot of his vocals on it are far from sustainable (im pretty sure that album did his vocal cords in) id be very interested to see a comprehensive guide on what he did and how he did it
Chris, please analyze the vocalist Ryan McCombs (SOiL, ex-Drowning Pool)🙏
I said “Hellyeah” when I just saw this video pop up!
I hope he watches this video, cause there is no other video on how he sings, at least on youtube
Hey Chris could you try to do this for one of my favorite bands ZAO it would interesting
Most brutal death metal scream of 2012
Would love to see how to sing like Burton C Bell from Fear Factory
Hey man, can ya do coal chamber next?? Ive been wanting to learn their style
YES, especially the first album
@@VideoGamePlay369 i started a nu metal band and want to get the early chamber style
@@darkfoxyawsome That's cool man, I'll check you out
Man you NEEEEED to do Ritchie kotzen! One of the greatest vocalist guitarist combos to ever exist…. EVER!
Oh he's on the list :) !
voice control so unreal a voice crack sounds fucking dope.
Nice!!! Can you do Matt Heafy of Trivium?
Great video 👍 could you do a sing like Lajon Witherspoon from Sevendust?
My good sir I would absolutely love to see you do Vince Neil. please and thank you.
10:04 I am not 100% sure the best way to describe how to do the no tone fry scream either, I have only recently cracked it in the last month and it seems not so reliable on command, your aiming for the associated high note definitely helps, but it seems like you almost need to restrict the airflow even further than normal compression using throat muscles and tongue towards the back of the throat, almost in the position if say you were pretending to choke with a fully wide open mouth, without going full Bart Simpson choke. Definitely need to do more investigation. I think I have heard it described as using the “epiglottis” to restrict airflow.
this is funny to watch while high
Still waiting for you to do a segment on the late great Warrel Dane from Nevermore. Super talented singer.
Still on the list! :)
@@chrisliepe cool man, go for a song like the River Dragon has come...
Chad we never thinking of technique, like all great singers it all came from emotion and a disgust for the world we live in today
But thank you so much for breaking this down mate your doing a great service as you would know 👌
Literally every member of Mudvayne is a technical guru if you ask me
@Jackson King settle down champion
🤩
Chad has a unique voice. He has mastered it well. Not easy to mimic him
Destroyer of senses by shadows fall would be a great review
would you be willing to check out tobias forge of ghost?
Please, do Lynn Strait (Snot) reaction
Hey Chris. I love your videos. I, unfortunately, have to disagree on the first sections of the song, I believe what he is using is a strong high vocal fry scream. Let me know your thoughts.
I get confused about the term "fry scream" because I don't feel like it adequately describes what happens or how it feels. It might be what people would consider a fry scream, but I'm not hearing it that way for some reason.
Chris, how about an how to sing like Scott Weiland one day? Love your videos
