Obviously he’s not fit to carry Dio’s cape, didnt mean to imply quality thereXps

I still don't hear Dio as he had a light, pure tone to his voice that he added dirty tones too. Where GVF guy starts shrill and just gets shrilla
― fuck the NRA (Neanderthal), Monday, 28 January 2019 19:54 (five years ago) link
I'm guessing the Dio comparison was mostly based on height
― We were never Breeting Borting (President Keyes), Monday, 28 January 2019 20:08 (five years ago) link
yeah it's more of a general resemblance thing - Dio is obviously p unique as a vocalist

Like I can do a mean "Thunderstruck" but I wouldn't dare use that voice to like...record music
Wow, seriously? I was talking to a friend of mine who did a tribute band night of AC/DC and they had to bring in a ringer for some songs. Brian Johnson's voice hangs at this freakish scary full-throated shriek level that seems achievable until you try to sustain it for a whole song, let alone maintain the assault for a second one or more. It'll shred you!
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 28 January 2019 22:56 (five years ago) link
my trick is that I'm a classically trained singer with a loud powerful falsetto so whereas Johnson's is throaty, I start with a clean tone and dirty it enough just enough to where it sounds shrill but doesn't actually hurt. now, dunno if I could do it for 90 minutes, but...yeah!
of course I don't think anybody would confuse me for him - he's much rawer sounding

i mean i think if greta van fleet's singer was classically trained he probably wouldn't sing like he does

the other day, I was hunting for Fairport live footage, and YT suggested a GVF rendition of "meet on the ledge"; that kid's Dio-by-way-of-Percy stylings are…not suitable for that song…

how on earth did they get the notion to bother with doing such a thing? I wondered if those kids' dad is like a baseball dad, forcing them as 10 year olds to listen to Zeppelin, beating it into them that this is the way to do rock music…
― veronica moser, Monday, 9 December 2019 20:21 (four years ago) link
It may surprise you to know that 13 year-old kids are still discovering classic rock warhorses even in 2019. Which isn't meant to support these guys or their approach, but it's not exactly shocking to me to see that bands kids in their early teens are still doing that thing where they get super excited about the classic rock canon. Where they go after that phase is what seems to be more interesting.

yeah the surprising thing with greta van fleet isn't that teenage guitar boys love led zeppelin, its that anybody else cared
― warn me about a lurking rake (One Eye Open), Monday, 9 December 2019 20:30 (four years ago) link
yeah no "beating" is generally necessary, kids just latch onto stuff they're exposed to (says the dad whose 6yo is constantly chanting the refrain to Judas Priest's "Breakin the Law" throughout the day)

a few weeks ago I saw some school of rock band where this tiny 14yo guitarist was absolutely raging through "20th Century Schizoid Man"
― Οὖτις, Monday, 9 December 2019 20:32 (four years ago) link
man, that Paul Green School of Rock shit is gross… it's one thing if kids discover it for themselves, but it seems like that guy is, based on a fee videos I saw, having them learn "One More Red Nightmare" like its "Autumn Leaves" or "caravan." Maybe I'm a jerk, but I'm glad that pedagogy had nothing with my wanting to learn to how to play…I guess we're resigned to having rock and roll having reached such a point where its something parents and teachers hand down to 'em, or I guess this happened 10-15 years ago… my 3 year old pounds the Beatles and the Rutles, but when she's past 10 or whatever, and 1000 Gecs turns out to be a foundational recording for her crowd, I hope I'm not an asshole about it…
