Jonpall!!!! This thread is supposed to be about ME ME ME!!! I guess I need to bring my mafia gang and shoot you up! :D:D

Just thought I'd another song from the same show: Going Down by Jeff Beck http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRxS9kYuz8g I haven't been practicing singing lately, concentrating on putting my instrumental record together, and I guess it shows in my voice. Oh well...one can't have em all I gues.. Enjoy(?) :D

hey everyone, loooooong time! just sharing a vdo of me singing 'Down to Mexico' by Paul Gilbert at a small club last week. Sorry for the poor quality http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4BoDo-ok8U

Hey i think it's very good that you wrote in this thread. Please feel free to share any tribute to dio in here, this goes to others in TMV as well. As for our show it was pretty big actually, but it was possible because we got some big name sponsorships. We covered around 20 songs in total, all the great songs were there - holy diver, temple of the king, children of the sea, all of them. It was an invitation based event becuz the sponsor wanted it that way, but we managed to invite 300 fans. It was greaaat, the biggest show of my life! Your show looks awesome too man! very good guitar playing and the vocalist in the first clip sounds very good. I also loved the voice of the girl in temple of the king, she has this beautiful tone to her. and she's also very beautiful : ). Great work man! Ronnie lives on!

Thanks Thanos, will post as they come out of the processing room. We took the sound from the house board into a small 8-track recorder and post-processing it in the studio. The man behind this is the other guitarist who is playing the gorgeous Fender (its a Fender Eric Clapton Signature prototype, it never reached production...lucky bastard, and I pushed him to buy it when he was in doubt ) Anyway, which singer's approach did you want to know? The first one or the bass player one? I can tell you one thing I know - they are both untrained (meaning no formal lessons), and whatever minimal lessons they have had are in the eastern classical style, which involves learning/practicing while sitting down (and most of the time cross-legged or half-lotus position as well)...So I can pretty much tell you that they can't really break down how they are managing this . I will try to talk to one of them to see if I can find anything. BTW: the bassist-singer is one of the early pioneers of our metal scene, but my respect for him went up 10 times after this gig. The guy is a monster singer.

Here is 'Man on the Silver Mountain' by another vocalist from the same show:

BTW, I will use this thread to put on more videos from this show later. There is one other singer who I really like and want you guys to check out. :cool:

Jon, mate thanks again!!! I used to hang my guitar way up high earlier (easier to play legato lines that way) but I've lowered it a lot over the last few years, cuz frankly, (like it or not) it has an effect on people - thanks to one Mr. Jimmy Page . and yeah you should use the monitors that way, much easier and looks cool too . btw I checked out your 'for the love of god' solo and man it was really well done! Bands like Dio, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Megadeth, they were a HUGE part of our musical childhood growing up. Esp Iron Maiden & Metallica.

Thanks mate!

Hehehe Thanos, that singer is a young kid (at least 5 yrs younger than me), and all these players are from different bands who came together for this special show. We auditioned him for this gig along with 2 more. Fun fact: after a couple of weeks of this gig, we were hanging out at a release party of another band's album, and this kid says: 'Fahim bhai (big brother), will you please play permanently with us, we will pay you'...I rolled over laughing at the hilarious sincerity of him. LOL! I am about to start jamming with them soon : ) and no, I am not taking any 'pay' lol :D

Hey everyone, just wanted to share 2 videos from a gig we did to pay tribute to Dio in July. It's pretty much a very big gig in our town, so just want to share my excitement with you. Ofcourse, I am not singing, just playing the guitar (white jackson, black sleeveless shirt). Enjoy! Killing the Dragon The Last In Line

man...really awesome!! loved it!!! I really don't have any suggestion on how you can improve it! man i love that slight rasp you have. thumbs up!

What a great song! kudos!
