Regardless of what other people are saying about this being over dubbed with the recording, you can see from their playing that they are still probably one of the tightest and most amazing bands around. Mon the biff!

even better than the radio or video edit! just perfect!

I swear this is the best live performance from any band. Ever.

Cant wait to see these in 3 weeks

They were on top form here!

heard this at work on co.op radio today x

Not miming but the audio of this was treated! Remixed, tightened and edited up! Which is not a bad thing. This mix is killer

That Strat is sweeeeeeet!

Have you not noticed the drummer at 00:33 sing alongside Simon. They all do like to chip in! What ever has or hasn't been done to this, still a great version!

Saw them last night in Manchester. They were fucking amazing. Machines was perfection. I wish i was going again.

Saw them in Sheffield and they were brilliant!

cant fucking wait to see them live

course!

Dublin next thursday! :D Cannot fucking wait!

Great mix from the engineer on this one. Simon's vocals aren't auto-tuned here, just mixed really well. However, the live DVD at Wembley was definitely auto-tuned, it's not discreet at all, maybe it was re-dubbed, but something can still be auto-tuned while re-dubbing. Anyway, great performance. I'd like to see Vennart introduced more often.

i love love looooooove this song :)

Very tight

I hadn't even noticed Vennart had a mic these days. Not surprising they eventually got him to do that, he was Oceansize's lead singer wasn't he. You might be right - I'm not terribly up on my production, so there might have been something else at work. I don't think I've seen another set where the unison in the chorus is quite so clean and in tune. Maybe Vennart's voice helped that too!

Anyone else totally chuffed about Vennart and Gambler?

Sorry I took so long to reply, didn't even realise that you had! That word at 0:27 is a perfect example of what I was talking about, listen to any acoustic set or whatever and you'll hear that that's just the way Simon signs sometimes. Also there is a 4th voice which possible sings the lower octave at 0:33, but its the voice of Mike Vennart, Biffy's live guitarist who is lurking in the shadows with a mic :L

I think the problem is people read blogs about catching out pitch corrected vocals which say artifacts and noises are dead giveaways. So they hear natural artifacts and wobbles like the second "I" in "I guess I know it deep inside..." and instantly scream autotune without really knowing what they're talking about.

Roll on 21st march. Lg arena.

Because they're on the Jonathan Ross Show

The vocals in this performance were definitely edited. They pitched them and even added parts from the studio version. It's a fact.

True story. The same thing always happens with Muse as well. It's sad how things are nowadays.

mon the biff

"May I pwease welcome, Biffy Cwyrow!"

muse were miming on theirs as well i think

AWHHH man that break down, they cut it........... BUT IT SOUNDED SO GOOD!

Shout out to all Oceansize fans watching this!

😆✨

I can understand your suspicions though, that was one heck of a performance

the breakdown it's awesome , why you guys cut that part? :(

You can hear them not quite pronouncing the words at the same time on the chorus. Its only slight but its just noticeable.

They should make a tutorial on how to sound EXACTLY same live and in studio!

Biffy don't mime and they don't use auto-tune, anything edited on this video would have been done by people at ITV for the purposes of the Jonathan Ross Show. End of.

wow, shirts.. :O

Fuckin savage

gutted they cut the heavy riff short :/ it was sounding really lovely and raw!

Great song. Similar to Sex on Fire in the tricky/off the beat intro.

Theyve just used some of the vocal effects they used on Simons vocals on the live CD/DVD Not to the same extent albeit!

why are they miming?

Why they wearing tops?!

Anyone else find it really weird to see them with shirts on? o.O

the word "that" at around 0:27 was the first one that didn't sound terribly natural. Singers being human will not hold a note in the same way to pitch. Autotune also uses equal temperament, which singers are not inclined to do - which is possibly why the drips sound cleaner and possibly might even have a 4th voice added. I have no idea who's singing the lower octave at 0:33, but they weren't there on Jools. I think the producer may have been a little heavy handed in general here.

this is a good performance from Biffy but theres no need for the pitch correction on Simon's voice. Im guessing it was added after.

There's definitely not autotune on this or in any live tracks as far as I'm concerned and judging live and studio vocals for quality is ballix. It sounds to me that there's a slight slap back delay on his vocals which is heard clearly when he's singin after the breakdown and with the wobbling hoarseness in his voice it sounds like an auto tune effect.

Yes very weird indeed!! LOL :P

A number of people disputing the use of auto-tune, but I think I can hear it. There's some bits that just have that nasal processed quality you get with auto tune, it's not even the movements between the notes - it's the held ones that just don't fluctuate like they should. It's a shame, it loses its charm a bit.

And they would bother setting up their amps n stuff if they were just going to mime.

Daddy

I was wondering about that. It's really fucking distracting. Simon's voice is amazing as it is without the need for that shit.

Examples of when you hear it? Simon's always had that kind of nasal sound when he stresses his voice. So are you saying that singers are incapable of holding a note? Isn't that what makes a good singer a good singer...

WTF with the bridge...

This isn't mimed.

drip drip drip... not quite so original. The Tragically Hip did that on their last album with a song entitled "We Want to be it"... from Now For Plan A.

They are infrount of a live audience...why would a rock band risk miming?

i hope not. the day rock bands mime is the day i dont like rock

I can't stand watching Vennart playing this crap.

It's depressing seeing such a talented, progressive musician like Mike, wasting away in such a generic band like this.

Guy, just... stop

They don't look right wearing tops!
