It is, but it’s also a great time to visit the Pit. Holy shit, there are some great threads going on. One is vocal chord advice just in case Ed hasn’t consulted physicians, I suppose.


LOL!


Didn't he say that he met with two specialists on Monday?

Maybe this will force his hand to start writing songs he can actually sing these days. "Screaming will see who cares" maybe isn't the best approach anymore, Ed. one can still be purposeful and powerful without tearing their vocal chords.

Perhaps now they will finally age gracefully.

Apparently a bunch of people who were going to this went to see an impromptu show by Pearl Jam tribute band Pearl Jamm ( :lol: ) and it was their biggest show ever.

If they were a real tribute band they would have canceled their show too.

This is a fantastic post and it should not go unappreciated.

The thread for the cancelled show is now as long as the thread for the show in London that actually happened. Good job, RM!

I saw Robert Plant last night (absolutely incredible) and he can still belt it out when he needs to. he's almost 70.

C'mon Ed.

We can only hope, but I'm not holding my breath just yet.

I was listening to one of the South American shows yesterday and Ed sounds like he's going to explode when he's trying to screech out the beginning of Can't Deny Me, even though it's tuned lower than the studio version. It's bizarre, I don't think he struggles anywhere near as much with the older material (aside from Blood, maybe). It's only the songs they've written in the last few years which are ridiculously out of his range.

My hunch is this is because the band is workshopping and tracking the songs in whatever key they see fit, and don't really have the patience to transpose it once Ed tries to sing over it and realizes it's not within his range; so then either he is able to pull it off for the studio cut, or they are -- gasp! -- just downshifting the track while he sings, then tuning it back up to its original key after he's laid his vox down.

I don't know, nothing forces Ed to come up with a vocal melody which is more appropriate for early 80s Brian Johnson. It's those sustained screechy notes in songs like Life Wasted, Can't Deny Me, World Wide Suicide, that tear his voice up and I can't think of anything equivalent in their earlier material.

Songs like Dissident have high notes which Ed would occasionally stumble on, even back in the earlier days, but they seem less demanding overall as he wasn't writing melodies which forced him to hit high note after high note in a sustained way.

It seems like he's consistently writing vocal melodies which he simply can't sing, and probably couldn't have sung even when he was younger. It's a totally different approach to his voice, and one which seems crazily inappropriate for a guy in his mid-fifties. Is it a weird mid-life crisis thing?

mid-life ??? I think he's a decade+ beyond that now.

Hmm, this is interesting. He definitely does swing for the fences more now on a syllabic basis.
