Can't believe they did a whole tour and we still don't have better pictures of his new neck tattoos.

Noah about the "heavy metal" logo

[badalmonds]

This is still so funny to me because looking at this logo you'd think they were deathcore or something.. I love that they just went Hey please use this one to ragebait the metalbros

Seen so many tuska festival goers complaining on a certain site about bad omens being a boring headliner, some were like "yeah i gave them five songs to impress me but they didn't so I left".

I get it's not for everyone but the reasons were so fucking stupid.

"singer looks bored and is obviously lipsyncing"

"boring frontman leaning on his micstand not even singing for real"

"band isn't even playing it's all playback"

"it was giving eurovision" (lol)

"if you look at their live videos on youtube it's clear noah can't sing, that's why it's not live. wish they played their older songs" (..what)

"the guys were there to look good, it was all playback anyway"

"bad omens is the taylor swift of metal" (what does this even mean😆)

These are all real quotes from adult people who said this seriously, with their own face, some even claiming to be music experts. I'm just so confused as to how someone can ACTUALLY think noah doesn't sing for real. Or the band doesn't really play live.

[silent-stories]

they've proved so many times that they don't use playback. noah fucks up the lyrics all the time, which is basically enough proof that he's actually singing. i can't stand those people.........

[badalmonds]

These metal dudes so used to vocalists sounding like shit live that they can't possibly comprehend someone sounding exactly like the album.

Anon. They don't use playback theu use back track as some other bands do

I feel like all the big bands have to be using some kind of backing tracks.

[badalmonds]

Do they?? I don't know much about it and now i feel stupid. I get some of it is playback like there are strings on what it cost etc and lot other stuff in the background on lot of the songs that are playback, I do realise it's not coming from the stage... but they still actually play their instruments right?! And Noah definitely sings live

They are playing live and Noah does sing, but they use a lot of effects on stage that are prerecorded. Which is not very rocknroll. It used to be more when Matt was in charge. Now at least in the last tour there weren't too many effects on Noah voice. Because the amount of autotune there were before was embarrassing

Agree on the autotune they used it so much before and it was noticeable, now it sounds even better so clearly noah doesn't need it that heavily.

I get the criticism on the prerecorded stuff but it's just part of their sound and if they didn't use any ppl would be like 'this sounds nothing like the album version!!' I've heard that for example rammstein uses playback a lot because their show is so huge and full of effects and pyro so they can't play everything live. I've never heard anyone shit on them.. or say they're not authentic

[badalmonds]

Objectively, BO use more playback than any other band in metal

Do they?? I don't know much about it and now i feel stupid. I get some of it is playback like there are strings on what it cost etc and lot other stuff in the background on lot of the songs that are playback, I do realise it's not coming from the stage... but they still actually play their instruments right?! And Noah definitely sings live

I just didn't think it was an issue they do that, is that why some ppl think they're not real metal

For me it just sounds better isn't that the point
