Do you have a favourite vocal performance? you know, great song, great band, and a great singer with a better than awesome voice, and they totally nail it. they just smash it into the ground. what have you got?

Listen to the singer here ; sound familiar ?

I don't need to hear the voice to know that it's a young ronnie dio in the band he was with before rainbow. but I will definitely listen to it because I haven't heard any of that album before. I am familiar with trying to burn the sun, which is rather good. here's a nice taste in case you're not. ummm, familiar, that is, not good. I'm sure you're good, mancandy, I'm sure you're fabulous.

The Great Gig In the Sky

fabulous choice, mancandy. if you haven't seen the delicate sound of thunder dvd, umm I think you'd quit like it. I was going to tell you all about the three hot girl singers in short, tight, little black numbers and how well they do the great gig. but, the girls won't have the same effect on you, and it's not a concert dvd. the soundtrack bears no resemblance to what was coming out the front of the house at the gig or gigs the visuals were filmed at. sad, really. a faked pink floyd concert video. it's more of a feature length music clip. they were never really pink floyd without roger. he kept all that stuff in order. he was the musical director and he wrote most of the material. I don't think the other guys wanted to admit how much they need him. so they did delicate sound to show everyone they could do it and they couldn't do it. pulse at least is a real live performance. but it feels really uncoordinated, pedestrian, uninspired and has no energy. delicate sound might be a big video clip but at least it's interesting. and I notice the pic is from the short period when sid and dave were both in the band. any deliberate intent?

When adele performed someone like you at the brit awards. Made me cry :')

cool. if you're crying there's some impressive stuff going on. thanks.

It was amazing and so emotional you knew it came from her heart.

love that. must be hard to generate that kind of performance, though, if they're touring a show and it's the same stuff every gig. I love it when the band's flying and not just going through the motions.

Agreed.

yeah, the band's got to be up for it and on it. or you can tell and it's disappointing. my two favourite music dvds. both bands are amazing.

Never heard of them but will take your advice and believe you, if I come across them in dvd stores I'll rent them ;)

ok. but if you think the 80s were so long ago they're irrelevant, you probably won't like them.

Maybe, I do like classic rock though, like whitesnake, bon jovi, and songs from like the 60's all the way up to now, like Frankie goes to hollywood, blondie, adele, ect. So I like to test my senses especially with music.

cool. then you should like those dvds, I think. I used to love the 79-82 whitesnake, when john lord, ian paice, bernie marsden, mickey moody and neil murray were in it. and coverdale, of course.

Yeah, same.

couple of really good albums. but I don't have the same passion for anything anymore. it's the medication, or at least it is to some degree. it keeps me flat so I don't have extreme mood swings. I used to love music. now I'm totally apathetic.

Haaaa lol.

it's good to see that my sometimes misguided attempts at comedy aren't wasted here on sodahead.

I love the vocals of Geoff Tate of Queensryche (there are other singers that I love as well, though). His aunt was an opera singer and his voice reminds me a bit of one, so he's just an incredibly great singer. I've seen them about 5 times but I read that he recently left the band.

Judas Priests Rob Halford. The Metal god!

ah, the priests. yeah, I have experienced the savagery that is the priests. not live, but. and you're right about rob halford. it's a hell of a voice. thanks for doing it. rock.
