Jugulator

Hey, folks!
We just finished working on this cool song. So any thoughts and critique are appreciated

Yeah, Doc! You're right.

Yep. Sometimes it happens. Thank you for the feedback.

Thank you. Yes, singing such powerful songs requires much effort. As another example, you can look at how Ken Tamplin sings Iron Maiden's stuff.

Thank you, man!

Hey folks! Quick video I put together to test my new video setup, hope you like it!

Dickinson does a lot of that. He pulls a lot of lyrics from movies or history. The guy isn't a stupid heavy metal singer... he is actually quite an intellectual. He is a licensed airline pilot for Quantus Airlines, a competition fencer, and historian. 
Here is another one, "Alexander The Great", tells the story of Alexander The Great... these lyrics are real people, real events, real history.
This is an Epic tune... it comes from the lesser known album, "Somewhere In Time"... it doesn't get as much press as the other albums, but I think it is one of their best albums because it experimented with a softer mix, less guitar and more textures. Fist and only album they did with keyboards. Killer vocals!!!

Lyrics:

"My son ask for thyself another
Kingdom, for that which I leave
is too small for thee"
(King Philip of Macedonia - 339 B.C.)

Near to the east
In a part of ancient Greece
In an ancient land called Macedonia
Was born a son
To Philip of Macedon
The legend his name was Alexander

At the age of nineteen
He became the Macedon King
And he swore to free all of Asia Minor
By the Aegean Sea
In 334 B.C.
He utterly beat the armies of Persia

[Chorus:]
Alexander the Great
His name struck fear into hearts of men
Alexander the Great
Became a legend 'mongst mortal men

King Darius the third
Defeated fled Persia
The Scythians fell by the river Jaxartes
Then Egypt fell to the Macedon King as well
And he founded the city called Alexandria

By the Tigris river
He met King Darius again
And crushed him again in the battle of Arbela
Entering Babylon
And Susa, treasures he found
Took Persepolis the capital of Persia

[Chorus:]
Alexander the Great
His name struck fear into hearts of men
Alexander the Great
Became a God amongst mortal men

A Phrygian King had bound a chariot yoke
And Alexander cut the 'Gordian knot'
And legend said that who untied the knot
He would become the master of Asia

Hellenism he spread far and wide
The Macedonian learned mind
Their culture was a western way of life
He paved the way for Christianity

Marching on, marching on
The battle weary marching side by side
Alexander's army line by line
They wouldn't follow him to India
Tired of the combat, pain and the glory

Alexander the Great
His name struck fear into hearts of men
Alexander the Great
He died of fever in Babylon 

Cool. You seem to have let the song penetrate your heart. As for the timbre, to me it sounds a bit like Phil Collins.

Well done. This song is not easy. Such a wide range. And I really liked how you changed the timing and phrasing to suit yourself. And I could imagine you singing it to your son. Just as Geoff wrote this after his son was born. Becoming a father makes the whole world change. I say that, even though I have never had children.

Thank you very much, Robert!
I am from Kursk, an ancient russian city. It's approx. 500 km to the south from Moscow.
I've been singing for 25 years. Never taken any voice lessons, but I used to take piano lessons when I was a schoolboy.
I started to record cover songs about 5 years ago. It was my wife who first asked me if I could try to record something. Then I bought a Shure SM-58 mic and now he I am

Jugulator,,, I am as impressed by your singing as I am by your prolific amount of work. You have been busy.  Great work brother, truly, it sounds pretty good... and your recordings are good too. 
I would suggest that you go over to the Home Recording forum and make a post that lays out what your technology chain is, DAW and plugins so people can also lear from your recording chops. What kind of mic is that?
Nice work man, its cool having you here... 
Why don't you tell us your story?  How did you get into singing? How did you get into working on all these covers? what lessons have you learned in your journey?  What tips would you share with the community that are inspired by your work?
Where are you from Russia?  

Hi there,
 
It's been a while since I posted my cover songs here. Well, I've got something interesting for you to listen, maybe enjoy and critique.
Don't hesitate to tell me about my singing and my pronunciation. Is my accent still thick? Any tips to improve it?
Thank you in advance
 
PS: I'm gonna post all my new cover songs in this thread.

Stunning, man. Stunning. Very good!

Awesome, as usual, Igor. And kudos for covering King Diamond. Not many guys will do that because, I think, they have a religious objection to anything remotely connected with falsetto. 

Hi, Igor!All  very professional made as always. The song that made the most impression on me was the Maiden cover "Aces High".  In the chorus you made your own little twist that made it sound even better than the original IMO!

Great performance, Nick! I like this kind of music. In spite that I am a metalhead, I used to sing songs by Tony Bennet and Michael Buble.

​Thank you!
I heard your version of Just in Time, and liked it! I guess that you can do almost everything with your insane vocal cords :-)
 

"I only have eyes for you"  is a love song composed in 1934 by Harry Warren and Al Dubin (Lyrics).
My version is inspired by the Sinatra's one, with Count Basie Orchestra.
Hope you'll enjoy! It's recorded live from my bedroom :-)
Thanks
 
 

I think your accent is probably better then mine 
And probably your vocal skills too  
I liked it very much! Very good job!

OMG King is my hero nro 1. That was wonderful. WOW man....

First of all, try to reduce the volume of the sound when you sing higher as though you are compressing the sound, At the same time, drop your jaw as though you are pronouncing the NG sound and a little yawning at the same time.

If your band mates say it's fine, just go for it! That will be "your sound". I don't think you can do much until next saturday anyway. With that said, it could be much worse!
Also, no matter what you do it will ALWAYS be people that will dislike it. Might as well do your thing and don't care what other people think from the start

Good luck!
