snowdogged Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) Personally, I think he likes singing like that. I think he can still sing pretty much anything from Moving Pictures on pretty closely to the way he sang them on the albums. He wasn't really singing like that on the songs from Moving Pictures for the last tour. He sang them pretty closely to the way he sang them on the album. I think that for songs like Presto and some of the other later songs from their catalog he changes the singing style purposely to the way he thinks they should have been sung in the first place.

tkdryan Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 If u listen to Snakes and Arrows live,, i thought he sounded awesome on Mission which is pretty high on his vocal range,, When i saw them on the Last tour he nailed Closer to The Heart,, i only noticed he struggled maybe a little on Limelight,, overall his voice is there, No he does not sound as Clear as he did on Show of Hands,, but did u see Paul Mcartney a few weeks back on TV,, what the hell happened to him??? Even Steven Tyler,,Axle Rose is losing his voice,, Heck i just bought the New Linkin Park CD and and the lead singers voice seems to be softening,, Its age Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
