@@phantomechelon3628 Supposing you didn't want the pigeons to work too hard, and to err on the side of caution you might order 2,000 pigeons to be safe. Surely you'd need some sort of lightweight string to connect the pigeons to the body, since 2,000 pigeons would struggle to all find a foothold at once. The string would have weight in and of itself, so the extra pigeons might be necessary to offset the logistics.

Hey Justin, my name is Matt Ramsey and I'm a vocal coach (as well as a true fan of yours). I just wanted to pop in and say that your description of your upper register is spot-on! As a singing teacher, I would call your approach at the top of your voice a "Head Voice Belt", rather than a falsetto. The distinction is one of strength resulting from closure of the vocal folds. The stronger the closure of the folds, the louder the sound. Falsetto comes from a weaker, breathier production with vocal folds closing less tightly. That is contrasted with your typical approach to those high notes: one of strength, power and twang. Keep up the great work. I watch all your videos!

So many negatives with fame like paparazzi, tabloid news, being young and fans constantly giving you alcohol and substances to abuse. Sooo many women almost literally throwing themselves at you, I expect also men and non binary folks too, LGBTQ, equal opportunity people throwing themselves at you (‘sacred promise of fellatio’ one of my favorite lines of many in Shitting Out Solid Gold!). It seems like a dangerous rabbit hole that can make it hard to be faithful to the person you love, can distance you from your kids, etc. I would love to be successful, but I’m quite sure I would hate fame.

I totally agree with you on the feeling about standing in front of a loud amp, Justin. There's just something about it.......the soundwaves just sort of pulsating and the air that an amp is pushing. Especially when hitting the strings. There's almost something kind of child-like about it, like when we are very young and realizing that we have some sort of effect on the world. Lead playing is especially like this.....it's like communicating a different language, but louder, and it's interesting how it just becomes more exciting the louder that it gets.

Hi Justin, we do a cover of “I Believe In A Thing Called Love” and people LOVE IT when we play it! The falsetto thing is right: I, for example, only use some kind of falsetto when singing certain lines (the first two occurrences of “god, you're touching me”, also “just listen to the rhythm of my heart” and “we'll be rocking till the sun goes down”) to make them a bit softer, but for the rest of the song, even the higher screams like the one at the end, is just head voice. You, and especially that song, made me really up my register game. You're a beast, man. Cheers and Metal! 🤘😎

Justin you are the man and put on a great show. I really dig the cool inside info and advice you give.

You have a fantastic range Justin and I am envious of it and of your fearlessness to stand on a stage and show it off. It's an amazing thing. Any thoughts on Axl Rose's vocal range? It is said that he has a vocal range of six octaves, from F1 heard in “In There Was a Time“, to B flat 6 while singing “Ain't it Fun“, which is five octaves above it. I thought it was madness but under the right conditions with the right frame of mind arrived at through the right combination of snack choices, you can hear the individual tracks of a song and if you focus your mind in the right way you can hear the backing tracks on some of the songs where he was doing them and the low notes are unbelievably low. The highs we've all heard of course but some of the notes he sings are so low they almost feel like a drone. It's wild. Does anyone have a wider range? Is that a legit measurement? I don't know.

@RickReasonnz

2 жыл бұрын

Corey Taylor has 5 and a half octaves, and Mike Patton can do 6. Think Mariah Carey's around there too. But I've always found those kind of measurement incredibly nebulous and, tbh, bullshit. All about what determine a hit note; is it once heard, is it sustainable, etc, etc. Really don't like Axl's high end; prefer hearing him in Patience than I do in songs like You Could Be Mine. For me, one of those bands where I prefer to music to the vocals, like (hot take) The Police.

I am working and putting out my own music, coming and listening to Mr, Hawkins is not only relaxing and entertaining, but also gets my confidence up a bit. Don't know how to explain it.

It's interesting to me that lately when I'm puttering about mi casa I often find myself whistling your little ditty you do at the start of your brilliant production(s)...BRAVO to you Sir for being so tasteful in a world of tastelessness...is that even a word?

You’re not too old for long hair and they add such a power and energy on stage! You still look like in LIOAF, and come on, we are still all 20 here, and we know it right? 😅 leave short hair to bloody politicians, it’s not something for rock & roll 😉

Best explanation of why valve amps can’t be matched by modellers, cheers! Not just for big gigs or recording either, at home too(with attenuator) , guitars come alive when they are just on the verge of feedback.

I gotta agree with you on both of the amp questions. The mix of Marshall and American-sounding amp is especially great. A cranked up and overdriven Plexi / slightly less overdriven JCM800 mixed with a 5150/Recto is a magical combination for anything that needs to sound heavy. I've personally doubled tracks on albums with that setup, sounds amazing.
