help with a tough rock song

[VideoHere]

well, i have to admit..i've reached my biggest rock vocal challenge. i was wondering if you rock folks have had any experience, tips or advce to help me with the chorus of this song. i need to drop down a 1/2 for starters. it's powerful and full voiced with a high tessitura and a power punch. perhaps you've performed it in bands?

here's (another) hearty attempt...(clearly a work in progress)

VIDEOHERE, I must say that I absolutely LOVED your take! Damn, you sound good. Maybe you should just work on doing what you've been doing but really focus on not constricting the external muscles of your neck, so you can sing like this for a long time? The sound was both cutting and full, with a nice slight distortion, pretty much spot on pitch, with lots of feeling and power and I think you even sound a bit like Lou Gramm, dude Don't stop singing, man!

Hi Bob,

If you put that track along with the music and a bit of effects it would sound just as good as any vocal recorded in rock!! It is spot on buddy. :cool:

I think Lou uses a bit more distortion in the higher parts for the effects. But, you don't want to be like him, you want to be like YOU.

Do me a favour, record yourself with the background music and then post it.

Definitely Rock on!

You sounded great. And a wise decision to change pronunciation to support the note, rather than sacrifice note just to speak the Queen's English.

Sounds really good man. It sounds to me like you're constricting too much in the throat, or "pulling up chest." Maybe the well-known vocalists just got used to singing like this? Hell I don't know, I can't sing like you :D
