    Badassery, Sir Ken! This entire video is! From your cool t-shirt, excellent Einstein quote, right on through to your demonstration of Back in Black! Great stuff man! To teach, also means "to form within, & draw forth," which you do with passion & excellence, my friend! Let it rock!🌹💜🌍

    Hi, great teacher! I am Argentine (and I am not a soccer fan) I loved the anecdote about fanaticism in my country and how that battle of throwing things surprised you! Hahaha! You are a genius, you speak very fast, but it is exciting to listen to you! A big hug from Argentina!

    Wish You Tube wouldn't keep taking those videos down, especially the once of AC/DC... Your demonstrations are so amazing, as well and easy to understand. The only way to teach definitely... Gabby is still rocking. I love her version of Back in Black.... Katie is great as well. I like both frontman's of AC/DC.. It's up to the listener and the particular song...

    Great job as always Ken! I'm no singer, although I did take lessons for a little while and like to belt some tunes out. I've never gotten very far when AC/DC came on and will take your comments to heart. Perhaps one day I'll get there with them.
    My teenage years (80s) were absolutely loaded with AC/DC and they have so many albums I love throughout the years. That said, there's always been something about High Voltage that stands above the rest for me. Top of my head guess, every song is killer, so much great rock and roll, but also bad ass blues in full force. Top 10 band of all time for me, for sure.

    Good demo Ken! I heard a woman on one of the "Got Talent" shows and she sang Highway To Hell full voice in a nondestructive way yet it was still true to the song. It was not forced but still maintained the power. I'm changing my view on the genre.

  • @HaydenWimmer

    I wish there was someone who would teach accompaniment piano on youtube like you do with the voice lessons. If you know of anyone who could do that would you encourage them to make a videos and an accompaniment piano course. It is driving me crazy to get the accompaniments together for songs that I want to sing.

    As a professionell metal singer i can say that Ken is the only coach that really shows he can sing. All others i found just analyze it and talk about it. it do not sound like the original all the time but i think thats not the intention, it gives you the tools to sound the way you want to. I'm not beeing payed, not a fan or so it's my opinion. I'm German so maybe my english is not the best (and as well i have a drink right now) 😜 .

      You will sing like yourself and you can learn the styles you wish to emulate. That's what all the covers on my channel do: we sound like ourselves and incorporate the flavor of artists we enjoy into the song. It's all a part of what I teach in my course.

    I have always wondered how Brian doesn’t blow his vocal chords out. He looks in pain while singing (of course Springsteen looks like he is taking a rough dump). Brian sang differently in Geordie. It was often in a lower register. And more chest.

    what I found really unusual is that screaming Vocals like Brian Johnson have become associated with Rock and Roll and not Heavy Metal. It's just strange that so many Metal bands sing in ordinary chest Voice . Dan Mc Cafferty , Robert Plant and Ian Gillan originated that style . Mainly Dan Mc Cafferty

  • @littleminna
    @littleminna 2 роки тому

    I always used to think that this guy was forcing his voice in such an unnatural way, that I always had the idea that cannot be good for your voice, and this before I knew anything about singing. Personally I was never into rock, back in the day I was all into pop in the 80s and 90s, with the exception for Bon Jovi, always liked him. Interestingly I've grown to like some 80s rock, not all, some. But I draw the line at rock, heavy metal is really not my cup of tea. But I have to say that I found the tribute concert to Taylor Hawkins interesting. I've seen a couple of videos of it. Interesting was that this guy Justin Hawkins sang a number of songs, like the ones from van Halen. I honestly had no idea who Justin Hawkins was until I saw him once on the Masked Singer UK, where he was singing everything but rock. 😄 I had no idea he was so famous that he was asked to sing at the Taylor Hawkins tribute concert with all these famous artists. Do you know him Ken? Have you heard the concert?
