Does anybody else think Raine isn't that good live?

Don't worry folks, it's all over now.

Every now and then I fall out into open air just to feel the wind, rain and everything.
And though the hum and sway gets me down
, I'll find the way to peace and openness.

My opinon on Raine live is that, like someone already said, he has his good and bad days like every vocalist. But even when he's on a bad day he still sounds better than most vocalists on they're best, imo of course.

Okay... amazing performances by Raine:
SNOWJOB British Columbia - Kamloops Spiritual machines - He kicks ass in that performance.

And also Musique Plus artist of the month - Spiritual Machines...
Also great performance :)

I don't think it's all about audio recordings, I don't really believe that they make him sound worse. I think there are some pretty decent bootlegs out there, that shows everyone what he's capable of doing, which means sing well, as well as screwing up live.

I've heard versions of Stealing Babies, Hope, One Man Army that he was singing quite bad...
So I think it happens.

Just wanted to check if I was the only one :lol: now I think I'm in the minority :P

I know exactly where you're coming from and agree completely.

I don't think he's one of those naturally great singers, he's just got a good voice and learned to hit the right notes in the studio, and occasionally live.

Some vocalists, like Michael Stipe or Maynard James Keenan, I've never heard sound bad, live or not.

Have you heard Raine's voice in Not Afraid? Ugh. He cannot scream live (ie. AFY chorus, Naveed, Not enough chorus, somewhere out there chorus, second innocent verse, story bout a girl, life) ugh, remember summersault? gross! Raine can't sing live. It's okay because you can't tell unless you listen to a recording. I think the only time i've heard him sing live and really enjoyed it (a recording) has been this germany show that has popped up. It's with like AFY, DYLI, SD, Whatever, SOT. I think those are it, but it was fantastic. He actually sounded fairly ok!
Don't ask questions, just accept it.
