    You completely skipped the E natural above high C he hits close to the end. As a singer myself, I have trouble as a woman hitting those notes. This is also an encore and he’s already been singing for two hours, so a wavering of the notes occasionally can be forgiven. Not to mention the fact that only a trained war will be able to distinguish those tiny moments. Tate is amazing and so is the band. The entire band offer great vocal support. It’s difficult for lots of people who don’t get into metal/rock bands, to understand the music. You may need to react/listen to more before assuming anything. Not offended, just want people to understand how metal and progressive metal vocalists and musicians operate.

I love how this guy took the time to listen, but he seemed a bit early-dismissive for some reason. Those E5s that Geoff can (could) hit were UNBELIEVABLE and are so underrated. Ken feigned interest in this, but I guess I should be happy that he even entertained metal music at all. I dunno. Anyway, Rebecca, I agree with you.

    Unfortunately I agree with most of what has already been said. What an underwhelming reaction to an overwhelming performance!! Arguably (and I will argue with you) the best live vocal performance is "Take Hold Of The Flame" circa. 1984. Just look at the number of reaction videos, many by well-known vocal coaches/teachers. The detail varies from "OMG, that was cool" to " Here he was in the range of D above high C". If you want to understand exactly what Mr. Tate is doing with his voice; check out Mike Goodrich - Inner Singer. For me, he's done the best job of analyzing Geoff's voice because his initial reactions are emotional - then he explains what he just heard.

      Not by me. Dio, Halford, Bruce...These guys are a league above Geoff.
      Queensryche is a good band, but only in america people seem to think they are legendary, when in the rest of the metal community they are a second tier band.
      Personaly I dont like Geoff's singing, whenever he bridges up into the mix he just doesnt bridge back down. he just pushes his head voice down and sounds really weird on the mid range notes. Michael Kiske also uses this technique, but does it much better in my opinion.
      I just dont understand why american metal fans seem to think so highly of this band. I even hear some say they are in the "big 3 of progmetal". In reality 80% of what they do cant even be called prog.
      Imagine thinking that this band is comparable to Dream Theater! What a joke!

      @Paul Belodeau Michael Kiske is much more influential in the metal community at large than Geoff Tate. Michael Kiske is largely responsible for making powermetal the most popular form of melodic metal in the 90's.
      Objectively speaking Geoff Tate hasnt been nearly as big an influence in the metal genre as any of the vocalists I mentioned.
      I can respect someone liking and being nostalgic about something. But from your comment I gather that you are more a Queensryche fan than a musician or even an actual metal listener.

      Todd comes across (to me) as a Falsetto singer/screamer and one of those generic metal "great voices" e.g. some of Candlemass' singers, the guy who replaced Jorn Lande in Beyond Twilight, the Seven Witches vocalist to name a few. Originally designated as a budget Geoff Tate to capitalise on the metalryche fans and people chomping at the bit for nothing but the early stuff.
      The stuff I've listened to with Todd comes off more as generic metal. It's obvious that (for me at least) Geoff Tate and Chris DeGarmo are who gave Queensryche their identity. Even now, you can hear Geoff's voice and instantly know it's him even if he ain't constantly belting out the fifth octave anymore.

    Geoff Tate, Rob Halford, Sebastian Bach and many other metal singers are classically trained. The "leap" as some call it isn't that far. Classical music and most metal are the same. Look at some of the best guitarists from this era and they are also classically trained.

    "This sounds like a trained voice." Then, "Oh yeah, now he's dancing around in Chuck Norris' vest (the envious look on your face is classic) then "How is he making that noise?" You've already answered that, and it's far from noise. Interesting that from the beginning of the video you use vocal inflections to demean something you haven't heard yet. Psychologically it's easy to explain in terms of being insecure about someone in your profession who's far better than you. It's fun to watch you mostly just shut up and listen from 2:23 to 2:52. Looks like you're trying to hang on to your ego while this guy is forcing you to admit to yourself that you'll never even be close to being as good of a singer as he is. And you learned this esoteric singing technique the "Other Day?" How long have you been perfecting your craft? I'm sure it's a long, convoluted concept. I noticed your condescending smile and attitude waning as the video progressed. Egos don't stand up well to talent, possibly an uncomfortable realization for you. If you think you've heard enough halfway through the song it's indicative of both your pre-judgement and a short attention span. Sad to hear your parents didn't 'allow' you to listen to rock and metal. Best thing since classical and often better. Good luck.

    @johnmoore9654 3 роки тому +2

    No disrespect, this is the first time watching your reactions. I wouldn't suggest you for training. You seem lopsided to genres which could hurt your career as a vocal trainer. My vocal instructor was more into the likes of opera to Bette Midler and Celine Dion. However, she did not pass judgement on any genre. She had a student that wanted to learn how to growl. Death metal if you will. Granted she had only taught anything from opera to pop genres. But she went out of her way to research how to growl. And she taught that student what he wanted. Your clients are probably a bunch of Karen's learning ABBA to Debby Gibson. Or Taylor Swift judging by this reaction and I hate judging. Rest assure this will be the only comment you will get from me, and I hope it detours people from wanting to learn from you. You may have key points that people need, but I'm sure it's limited. Anyone want that really want lessons online. May I suggest Rebbeca Vocal Athlete aka RVA. At least she did the same reaction to this song and discussed on how he may have hit the notes. Very informative without judgement. Yes I plugged another vocal coach. Serves you right for passing judgment on a style than actually talking about how they may have used their techniques. You in my honest opinion are a sham to call yourself professional.
