I think this says enough

"just check out that youtube video that features kata playing the first half of "July""
oooh, I didn't know about that *runs*

edit: http://youtube.com/watch?v=-TFJggTp_mM there is it... I have to say his voice doesn't sound weak at all! it's really great...

Your joking? I love Katatonia alot, they are one of the strongest most original and consistant acts in todays modern metal. But honestly that doesnt sound great at all.

 

[Phoenix5]

It may not sound great, but anyway, this is all redundant.

Thread lock?

 

[affinityband]

Yeah, theres no conclusion.

Speaking of "Wealth", that song came off really damn good live when I saw them. I always had a liking for the vocal lines but not really the full sound of it. Until I saw it live

jonas sounds better on record than in concert. his live performance is good still from what i have heard, but he could have more of a stage presence. he just doesn't move around enough and get people excited.

Katatonia being there playing their songs is enough for me. I dont need Jonas to dance around or some shit to entertain me.

 

[BlueSky]

if he danced around would that be true to katatonia and the stye in which he sings? I think not.

yeah i would like to see him performin a hardcore danxe!

DOOM DANCING!

jonas doesn't have to (and really shouldn't) dance. but that doesn't mean he he has to stand still and not seem really involved. you can sing depressing songs and still have a stage presence without moving around a whole lot- eg. john holmes from paradise lost. aaron from my dying bride puts on a show for instance, though it might not be to everyone's taste. i enjoyed watching him sing (rather than just hearing him) even though it was a little cheesy in parts.

I've heard Jonas once.
In Moscow, a year ago.
For sure Katatonia's live music sounds different, and Jonas's vocal, as well.
But that gig was really amazing, and showed their "other" brilliant side.

yeah, jonas was stiff the whole show. i also couldn't really see his face tbh, his hair was covering it the whole time.

What does 'kvlt' mean? I've been seeing it for so long, just have no clue what it means.

GR1M KRIEG!

tr00kvlt!

I hope that horgh gives you the most tr00 skullfucking that you shall ever recieve, and when he spooges onto your brain, you will thank him for his gr1mness, and you then shall learn the meaning of kvlt.

man , if you were there just to see jona's face i feel sorry for you, damn it ...

JUST to see his face? i just wrote about 5 posts in this thread explaining why i didnt feel his performance was good, and you come up with this shit? come on dumbass, use your head. and also, considering i'd never seen jonas in real life before, it wouldnt have been so much to ask to see his face.

Basically I reckon Jonas is too shy and reserved to be an effective frontman. His vocals have always been fine when I've seen them, but it takes away from the live experience when he just stands in one place and tries to hide behind his hair.

agreed
