This doesn't really have any content music/video/story-wise, however I did wonder something today about other people's singing habits. I've always sung as many bars/lines of each song as possible as the lead, but I've noticed really in a lot of bands some of the added dynamic can be from the diversity of the voices that are harmonizing, see KISS in their hey-day or The Winery Dogs, both bands where everyone sings at least part of some songs even if it's just as a backing vocal. Have any of you who do vocals in bands noticed yourself doing this? Seems kind of "me first" of me, but I really was just trying to do the songs we cover (when we play covers) some justice.
I guess also, I should mention the only band I ever had ANYONE able to do competent vocals in even a backup situation was a straight American style death metal with comedy lyrics and a name. Fluffy Bunny Massacre, RIP.
Maybe I should start concentrating on just KILLING the verses/main portions of the choruses, and allow for some backup vocals in my next band... Of course, it's going to be a more rock oriented act, if I'm gonna play shows now I have to actually make the night financially worth it. That's the ONE advantage to my family, my uncle Arlo is established enough here and in a few other countries that he has plenty of contacts in. The band I'm envisioning shouldn't have as difficult a time getting signed to a very small label. I'm finally almost ready vocally to carry a band again, the voice is back to mostly full strength after the polyp removal a year and a half back, and I happen to know of a great drummer who just had his bandmates go fucking batshit insane with a great feel for hard rock/metal hybrid music.
