DLR raw vocal track

[Brooks]

just heard this on thegearpage.net,

its DLR on VH's 1st album.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=nlgE5TKXWsA

i love his screams when the overtones make it sound like 2 notes (ala janis joplin),

and when the guitar thru the headphones bleeds thru the vocal mic.

rawk!!!

[BubbaVO]

Ahhh-Haaa! Yah!

[earachemyeye]

That's pretty cool. Shows how drenching him in reverb really took his voice over the top. You can always tell an 80's song by that.

[bubs_42]

That was actually really cool. The VH record's alway's make him sound like he is in the back of the room.

[Travis]

Awesome.

Goddamnit, baby. You know I ain't lyin' to ya!!!

[kizanski]

If you let it run, the voice only track from "Eruption" is next.

[guitarzandstuff]

Thanks for that!!! Cool as hell!!

Yeah the doofus who posted this on The Gear Page did so thinking he was exposing DLR's lack of vocal ability. Turns out the only thing he exposed was himself as someone who's obviously never been in a recording studio before and is most likely the stereotypical Gear Pager: some clueless professional type who's into guitars and music out of hero worship and a desire to recapture the excitement of his youth that's sorely lacking from his middle-aged adult existence. He's been soundly lambasted for his opinion, and rightly so.

Damn straight. I think the vocal sounds killer, considering how it is completely devoid of any effects or production tweaks.

[Steve Haynie]

I never thought Roth could sing, but he sounds dead on with his vocals on the verses. The screams may sound odd out of context, but they are part of what made the finished product work.

You are the man....

Never before, in the history of mankind, have truer words been spoken.

This is now my sig line.

[David B]

That sounds great for a dry studio track.

[mathman]

That sounded great, you had to laugh cause it is funny but it sounds so cool hearing that part of a mix like that.

Ouch - that hits me on such a personal level. :-)

That said, anyone who can fault those vocals is just not listening. That was fantastic.

[Zoner]

I was in a studio last week and the engineer was demonstrating the wonders of "pitch correction" technology. He basically said, "yeah, pretty much everything that is recorded these days is pitch corrected". Don't know if that is fact or fiction, but all I can say is DLR has some skills. Or did they have the magic of pitch-correcting devices back then? Maybe one of the reasons much modern music seems to lack a certain "soul" has something to do with the use of tech to doctor all the vibe out of perfomances by "correcting" them? That was pretty cool to hear! Z

That post on TGP was a riot. Made a fool of himself. I think the track sounds great.

So when is this post gonna become a thread on TGP?

[Abaco]

This little gem was linked there too. Good stuff. Diamond Dave always had those blues, broadway, Al Joelson (sp?) influences and I always dug that.

DLR rocks, whether you're some clueless professional type who's into guitars and music out of hero worship and a desire to recapture the excitement of his youth that's sorely lacking from his middle-aged adult existence, or some "serious" musician snob that pretends his occasional coffee shop gig is Madison Square Garden and that every aging babe who comes in to have a drink with friends and looks up is admiring his fretboard magic, and not the fact that his male pattern baldness is strangely highlighted by the green gel light he just got on sale (and will pay for in just three more gigs if he doesn't share his money with his horrible wife that looked semi-ok thirty five pounds ago) and who found some other wannabees he can make drummer jokes with online to burnish his music cred, when truthfully he would switch places right this freakin second with Bret Michaels.

^^^ "Bitter"... table for one, please! ^^^

That's a killer recording. My personal favorite for the polyphonic scream is Doug Pinnick from King's X. I'm gonna go listen to Dogman now.
