@@CallousCoder I have no idea, and you’re not the first person to ask that question.

no shit,its 40 plus years later d bag!!!

Dah- duh. The duh is missing

@@jakepyrett1715 Joe is no Eddie Van Halen.

@@VinceMGuitar I feel the same way. Guitar player is 78 year old Paul Dean. You’re very welcome.

la journey or foreigner?thos eband dotn even have the original singer like loverboy!js.but yes mike still sounds great.i think people give mike to much shit because of his weight!!who gives a shit about his weight!!!

@@JDsLiveMusic damn,i wish i hoping i can just walk as good as him when im 78.good for him..much less playing a guitar!!!.

get lost d bag,stop being jealous of a person still doing what they love in life for a job!!!can you say that???um noooooo

@@macdeedrum4659 I have no idea and wondered the exact same thing.

He is "self-compressing" to keep levels even as he has a powerful sometimes uneven voice. You can see him use his thumb over top of the SM58 at times . He's been doing that for ever. He can still sing without baking tracks !

I agree he is singing and not using backing tracks with the exception of the scream on Turn Me Loose. I’m fairly certain that is recorded. Watch and listen to it and let me know if you agree.

He’s done it since they started in the 80s. I guess it’s just a technique he prefers. I’ve seen other singers do the same thing but instead of up and down they hold it really far back on high notes

@@scottwhite1963 yes, all except Scott Smith, their bass player, who was lost at sea piloting his sailboat in California in November of 2000. Technically he replaced Jim Clench, their original bass player, but that was before they hit it big.

Jim Clench from April Wine?

The one and only. You know your music.

@@bradschwieger1246 you’re very welcome and I’m happy to do it.

@@flashy5150 I thought that was pretty crappy what Sammy did to Jason. Who do you want, the son of the best drummer in the world who plays like his daddy or a former Johnny Cougar drummer?

I take it you do music production for a living? That’s a very astute observation that us lay people do not notice. I wonder if it has anything to do with the way he moves the mic up and down when he sings? Maybe you can give me your opinion on that. I’m just a music fan, and it’s nice to get information from an expert.

@@JDsLiveMusic Hello. Yes, he is moving the mic upward when he is singing louder so that not as much of his voice is going 100% into the mic on those parts. I have seen others do various mic techniques where they will physically back away from the mic a bit, or sing off to the left or right of the mic instead of singing into it directly. He is using his mic technique in a manner that would be done automatically by a compressor. By doing it himself physically he would have a bit more control of the end result instead of leaving the sound person to adjust a compressor appropriately. Perhaps he has had bad experiences with sound techs not making adjustments to his satisfaction? I have never seen a mic technique that is so distracting to me thus why I mentioned it. I hope that explanation is helpful. My two cents worth. 🙂

Thank you so much for the information, it is very helpful. I’m sure other fans who read this will be happy to hear the information as well. I think your assessment of what Mike is doing is a very good one. Knowing what you just told us all, I would have to agree with what you’re saying. Good stuff!

Mike has always used this technique when singing. His vocal range has obviously diminished but his technique has stayed the same. Loverboy were one of the first bands I got heavily into early 80s as they used to open for most bands on the west coast of Canada.

Ahhh Blubber Boy still rockin and eating since the 80’s

@@willms7350 Paul Dean is already 78 years old. He does very well for his age. Mike Reno just needs to work on his weight. The others guys look pretty good to me.

So will you one day, skeezix.

@@JDsLiveMusicyou can plainly see Mike has lost some weight. Just needs to work on his tummy area.

That’s true, just needs to lose some more, but he’s still a good singer.

really?no shit,thanks for sharing mr obvious!!!

@@stevemcfate1961 yeah with Neal Doughty’s retirement and Bruce Hall’s back issues, only leaves Kevin Cronin as a classic era member. With any luck, Bruce will heal up and settle his differences with Kevin and be back next year. Kevin hinted at it at the end of the show.

@JDsLiveMusic The same thing happened with my favorite band, Kansas. Rich Williams is the only one left. Phil Ehart had a heart attack, and Billy Greer retired after 40 years a few months back.

I hadn’t heard of Phil‘s heart attack, sorry to hear about that. I kind of gave up on Kansas when Steve Walsh retired. I just couldn’t imagine hearing anybody sing those songs, but him. Sadly, it’s happening to all of our favorite bands. Pretty soon there won’t be anybody I want to go see, unless I expand my horizons and start listening to new music. It’s very depressing to think about.

@JDsLiveMusic yeah it was a blow. He is doing well in his recovery. It was genetic, not lifestyle. He is still Band Manager ( over 40 years now) and hasn't ruled out a return to the stage. I went to Topeka, Kansas, for 2 shows in Oct. Fortunately, Kerry Livgren and Dave Hope showed up both nights and sat in. Kerry still lives on his farm in the area. It was my " send off shows" I don't intend to see what's left of the band Live anymore. They are great musicians and sound really good, just not enough left. Their last 2 albums are very good, 2016 and 2022.

@@Mr._Mints sorry, I do not have that information.

@@spacecatavonlady1 oh without a doubt, never the same band without him.

@@ricthornton2958 very well said. After boycotting them for awhile after throwing him out, I returned to see them a couple more times, once as recently as September at The Sphere in Vegas. They are definitely not the same band without him and will never be. That might upset some people, but it’s the truth. Henley and Frey’s ego forever ruined that band and that’s very sad. But, at least Don continues to play and entertains us all, reminiscing about The Eagles and what they once used to be

He was until Vince Gill played with them, 2 great musicians. Now a Felder Gill band would be humongous. Henley and Frey come across as ego self worshippers.

@@brynjones7371 You're out of your mind. The Vince Gill version is the worst version ever. When Gill is in a song, I turn it off as fast as possible.

@@lonzojones4428 I just watched this video of mine several times the other night, wishing that Eddie was still alive. At least we have his music to remember him.
