Vocalist Dad Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Hello Gang, I know some of you have shared great advice for Gabe and his desire to be a rock singer. This past July, he auditioned for this seasons show and it begins tomorrow. His city of audition is Chicago and it is supposed to air Thursday night. Of course I can't say anything about what outcomes have happened and he doesn't know if he ended up on the cutting room floor or not but I would love to share more about it when the time is appropriate. He has had a great time. I know many have their own opinions on the show but it is one of those opportunities that you can’t pass up. Talk with you soon, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VideoHere Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 if he made it past the first audition, he should feel very proud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronws Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Yes, and from what I have seen, the more drama, the better. Aside from that, truly phenomenal voices do make it through, now and then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDEW Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I missed him on Idol but I checked out some of his videos. I agree with the others he does ROCK. Keep us posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jens Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Vocalist dad you should get him to write more here perhaps it rubs off ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vocalist Dad Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 Thanks Guys, I do get to visit with him about the site and it isn't like he is purposely avoiding us, he really doesn't spend much time online with anything other than band stuff. I think he and Keith visit from time to time but I don't know if he feels like he can really offer true vocal technique direction, he says Keith uses vocal terms he hasn't heard of or thought of since high school. I know he thinks he is no different than anyone on this site, he has had some great opportunities come his way, been in the right place at the right time and tried to be prepared to take advantage of them. I know one thing, he never stops singing so I would bet that is the biggest advice he would share with everyone. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDEW Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Let's see if this works.

ronws Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Well, tell Gabe good luck. He has a strong voice equivalent to my favorite contestants on AI, namely, Kelly Clarkson and Adam Lambert. May he be the next one. Of course, they may not know how to let a metal singer win. It seems that most of the winners are more r & b and "adult contemporary." We need a singer with some cajones, regardless of gender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Validar Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Very cool. I actually quit watching last season because I finally became disenchanted with the whole process and the shadiness behind it ( I was far too busy to make time for it, as well), but if he advances to the top 24 or top 12, I may just have a reason to watch.

David Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Still find it weird that his dad is on this, and not Gabe.. but being a father of three boys -- I COMPLETELY understand.. haha.. Gabe seems to be authentic and not a wannabe.. and for that.. I vote him in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronws Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I don't think AI has really had a rock singer in the televised rounds. Although, for the softer side, he could do Jack Black's cover of Seal's "Kiss on the Rose." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slstone Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Hey bro, you forget James Durbin. His first song for the actual competition was a Judas Priest song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronws Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 So, I did. Oops. Well, good luck to Gabe, anyway, even if I have swiss cheese for a memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Validar Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 The season with Durbin is the last one I watched. I damn near pissed myself the week Zakk Wylde showed up onstage. The show has always been about "pop", but there's been a handful of moments where rock was represented. Steve Vai, KISS, Judas Priest, Queen, Jeff Beck, Nuno Bettencourt, and Slash have all been on the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronws Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 It's funny that Adam Lambert, really a theater and jazz singer, did more hard rock songs in his season, than really anyone else in that season. I especially liked Adam's "Born to be Wild" with Slash. So, if Gabe makes it far enough to perform with a guest band, I wonder who will it be? Might Jimmy, John Paul, Robert, and Jason get together to make an evening with Gabe? I hope they do "Immigrant Song," if that happens. That would close the show and the season.

slstone Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 I watched that episode as well. See that big hulking blonde guy behind James, I hollered to the missus, holy @#$@%#, that's Zakk Wylde. I don't think he rehearsed either because he was still noodling when the song ended. The band stopped, then he stopped a few 16th notes later.....

ronws Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 That was excellent. Thanks for bringing that in here, bro. "Give metal a chance." I want one of those arm bands that James was making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Validar Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Yeah, I remember when I saw it back then, I couldn't help but laugh at how he stood up to the mentors. Hell, that's what rock/metal has always been about. Standing up to the naysayers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
