Bob - Guys, you don't have to shed weight or lighten up, a narrow vowel will do that and help you go up

bob - folks, you don't have to lighten up anything, talk to your voice, support rules, one voice.

Rocket surgery.... I think the same thing was said to him at the time. A mixture of Brain surgery and rocket science.......Common inside joke. :cool: It may have been Jaimy Vendera I heard that from now that I think about it.

Ron - Don't try to sound like Dio, sound like yourself, unless you really do sound like Dio, in which case go ahead and sound like Dio. I approve of that.

Remember, note in the head, nothing in the throat, motion is your abs if necessary, end chapter, close the book, the clouds part and the sun shines and we all get our angels wings, amen, hallelujah and god bless brother Bob from another mother.

Speaking of Dio, I once heard a folk tale that he use to roam the streets at night looking for bacon. Why bacon you ask? well, here in Texas bacon is the 2nd most popular food after allergy medicine and apparently good ol' Ronnie James was very hungry, speaking of hungry that reminds me........

(This goes on for at least 19 more paragraphs, and by the time you reach the 3rd paragraph you wonder how much free time does ronws has on his hands or alternatively how fast can he type?)

Ron - any stupid, inane useless trivia rattling around his brain. (couldn't help myself, Dio, while suffering from stomach cancer that eventually took his life, was getting cancer treatment at a hospital in Houston, Texas. In that hospital was a teenaged boy who was a huge Dio fan. Wendy says that Ronnie spent more time packing cd's, hats, t-shirts for the boy than he did packing his own clothes. Okay, that wasn't funny.)

Ron - "I can't stop myself."

Ron - "I stink at forum politics" (while, at the same time, avoiding roasting Robert Lunte in this dogpile of a thread.)

To answer the other question, I type really fast. Or take the time with MS Word and then copy and paste into a response. It's a kind of magic ....

Shoot, I spend more time ragging on myself than I do on others. But I deserve it.

Absolute best bit of wisdom:

Daniel Formica - "Don't forget the pink cowboy hat." (now, that's a classic, no ribbing at all. Seriously, guys, get a pink cowboy hat.)

Bob - in any thread about how one should sound when singing, followed by a link to any Foreigner video, as long as it is one with Lou Gramm in it.

Benny - [insert lots of technical stuff] :lol:

Phil - It's all in the fundamentals. Support and vowel placement. First learn to bridge lightly. Then pull the chest up to at least the B4. Then pull the head down. You need to be really warmed up to get into the mix. Cut back the air/hold back the breath.

ThePowerOfOne - Anybody know any songs to practice [insert vocal skill/range]?

Steve Fraser - guaranteed very helpful post

jonpall's one of Martin cracked me up. Or creaked me up. Ba dum csh. (this is why I am not a comedian)

I don't know what my own mantras are.

It must be noted that despite our quirks everyone still makes great contributions here.

random dude:

"Hey guys, I have a range from C-1 to B9, right now I can use distortion and rasp through it, and I can sing over the loudness of a jet plane engine easily. However I am having a problem singing Mary Had a Little Lamb, very complex song, what do you guys do to study this demanding stuff?

Please note that technique is no longer a problem for me, what could it be? Here is a sample:

(recording attached where it seems that the little lamb is performing the song)"

;)

If we divert to contradictions and irony, then there's always me.

"You guys are right. I should spend more time on recording and editing." Or words to that effect. Then I post another song of me and the guitar, recorded "live."

Followed by me re-iterating that I am a bad man. Highway to Hell, and all that stuff...

All true, of course, cliche or not .... \m/

I may be cliche but I am telling the truth more often than others might think ...

Of all the people here, I have probably generate more cliche statements than most.

"Motion, when necessary, in the abs.

Note in the head.

Nothing in the throat, ever, amen."

"Singing is mental"

Listening is mental"

my favorite, "maybe I am the most mental of all."

Followed by a diatribe about how my life and work is complicated, to be counteracted by keeping singing as simple, as an escape, an refuge. (okay, so, that's true and not so funny. No one here has a clue and, trust me, you don't want a clue.)

Actually, I must correct Jonpall on one thing. I don't cook burgers on the grill. I usually cook burgers in a griddle pan on the stove top. I use the grill to cook steaks, chicken, pork chops, and to smoke brisket. (And I am really good at that. As a singer, I am a pretty good barbecue chef. :lol: )
