thebigguyconnor Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 QUOTE (ChiliFan @ Sep 13 2010, 04:52 AM) I think it's not so much his voice going, as his voice becoming less reliable. He can still hit the notes perfectly on a good day, but he has more off-days than in the past. Doesn't make him any less enjoyable to listen to though! That's a better way of putting it. I mean the man can still sing freewill. That's gotta count for something. And look where Ozzy and Daltrey are !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun3701 Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 the worst I've ever heard him is on the Atlanta 08 songs from S&A Live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMWriter Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 At the Omaha, NE show (Qwest Center) his voice was definitely struggling on a couple of songs, but I agree that considering his age, he's still got it. And I'm sure we've all noticed that over time they've written songs that are written lower and lower. That's, unfortunately, just human nature and aging process. In his defense, he could sing higher back then than I can now, and I'm a girl who generally sings Soprano II or Alto I. I can't hit those notes at the end of "Cygnus X-I" to save my life. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duck Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 This makes me wonder whether anything can be done about it. I was listening to 2112 today and kind of miss Geddy singing like that -- although I also really enjoy Geddy's mid-range stuff as much (e.g. Subdivisions). Maybe there is a kind of vocal exercise or something along with some hot tea :-) I bet Geddy can still hit some of those notes but the risk of his voice cracking is too much to risk during concerts.

GuitarPlyr01 Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Haven't posted here, so I'll give my .02 worth- I think his voice is fine. It's nowhere near what it used to be, but it's still good enough. I can kind of sing like Geddy, and I have no problems with it. Yes, I know, I haven't been singing as long as he has or near the amount of times he has to. In my opinion, it's 100% up to him to decide when his voice has had enough. If he thinks it's good to go, it's good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemispheric Waves Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 I saw them in Tulsa in September and thought it was great and was convinced that his voice was fine. Then I got a copy of the show and he does not sound so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun3701 Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 yeah I think it's easy to ignore his cracking voice when you're watching them live and in the middle of the loudness and excitement, but when you sit down and listen to a recording it's a different story. Geddy's old, his voice will just keep getting worse... but at least the rest of him seems to be working good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
