AudioNick Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 The link is broken for the video! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LESTAT Posted January 8, 2017 Author Share Posted January 8, 2017 Works fine for me. Try again. I just changed the protocol from "https" to "http". Works for me either way, but maybe it causes problems for others. Other videos: https://www.instagram.com/p/BO_02uHjcFv/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BO_y9y9B9Zl/ These are https as well. Does they work? Also, the girl singing with Chester is Awkwafina. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broman Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 (edited) He sang part of the bridge. Always a rare treat. Plus, he sounds very smooth Edited January 8, 2017 by Broman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogueSoul Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Chester's sounding good! Haven't watched his KOC performances but I've heard he was sounding fantastic on that tour. Glad to see he's holding up for LP songs too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HybridT Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I can't believe he actually sang the bridge! I don't know you guys, but Chester is sounding different than before. Maybe he is trying another singing technique... I don't know, but he is sounding awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sian18 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Chester did say in that album update on facebook live that in studio he learned to sing songs totally different then he has before so maybe this new way of singing is helping him more as he sounds spot on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geki Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 To me he sounds like he sang it in 2001, particularly the acoustic version at AAC 2001. Wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJJ Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 To me he sounds like he sang it in 2001, particularly the acoustic version at AAC 2001. Wow. This performance at the Comedy Jam somehow reminded me of the transformers show in 2009: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THgi-ZZZUvQ He sounds really similar to this performance IMO. Im really excited to see LP play live again. I think they needed this year off from touring, even though we didn't get any (full band) live performances, they made a good choice taking a year off. The guys are getting older, they need the rest. I also think their year off will improve their live shows, and make them more excited to play again.

LinkInThePark Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 To me he sounds like he sang it in 2001, particularly the acoustic version at AAC 2001. Wow. Hmm.... I thought that he sang it here without anger and hatred he had back in the day, because of drugs etc. He is singing with more soul and using his inner rock n' roll here.

hahninator Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Thanks for the heads up. Great stuff. Link to video in first post doesn't work for me but it appears to be a Facebook link, right? Might have to do with the permissions on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LESTAT Posted January 9, 2017 Author Share Posted January 9, 2017 It's a direct link to an Instagram video. Works for me signed in or not on every browser. Oh, well. Added other links as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broman Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 That first link didnt work for me either. Had to close out the tab and reclick for it to work. Tbh, really not worth the trouble. Audio quality and angle are both bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
