Part of Phil's charm is that he could pull his recorded vocal tone live. Balls.
Rock on!
FUCK YES!
I'd be concerned if a singer couldn't sing the same live as the studio...
@@ShadowKiller571 you’ve never sang live I’m assuming lmao, preforming live has a lot of things you cannot control, and sometimes it’s super hard to sing well over said things… like having too loud instruments you cannot hear yourself over
In his prime phil was a MACHINE... he could do everything, the high notes, the growling, the bluesy rock stuff, the heavy shouting and screaming ...
👍
I'm not a fan of growlers but I think Anselmo perfected the growl thing with the right balance of melody, to where he was actually SINGING. Everyone who came after him just sounded like a ripoff who was trying too hard.
Rock on!
Soooooo true! I cant stand th growlers, it jus sounds like they're dry-heaving into th mic. Like u said Phil still managed to sing & provide melody unlike most Death Metal bands
That is certainly as far away from the truth as possible.
People were growling in metal when Phil was 8 years old.
And long before that, people were singing with distortion in Blues.
@@gizzy2403 He sings with a lot of rasp and reminds me of Joe Cocker, who used less rasp. Death growls are lower and almost "voiceless". They are produced with the false vocal cords.
He growl and he's clean !
The added fx and layering do make the vocals more powerful and upfront but the rawness of the original is integral to the band's sound (and Phil's badass-ness)
Thanks for the visit. Rock on!
"to me, a lot of growl, sounds very similar"... no, Ken.. a lot of growl sounds like Phil Anselmo. He absolutely changed the game, and set the bar for all the rock vocalists that came after. No one has been able to touch his range, versatility, power and technique. You gotta understand, it was Phil who brought extreme vocal techniques to the popular arena... before him, all of it was underground. Nowadays, screaming and distortion are very common, and pretty much the NEW STANDARD for rock vocals. That is almost single handedly because of Phil's work with Pantera... none of the popular rock singers were doing it before him. Once again, he set the bar that is still in place today, and that has not been surpassed.. his technique is impeccable. When you attempt to sing his songs, you realize just how skilled the man is. he wasn't just "gnarly".. this guy can sing his fucking ass off. He is an innovator. You sound pretty condescending towards his ability here, and I implore you... I would LOVE to see YOU sing something like " Broken" or " A New LEVEL"🤷 The knowledge and experience it takes to be able to vocalize like that... takes YEARS to learn correctly, and even more to hone and perfect. You should put WAY more respect on his name. I think Phil, and this modern school of vocal, is beyond your range of knowledge...and I gotta say, you dressing up his vocal like that, is the best example of the differences between our generation, and yours... the power is in the raw product... the proof is in the growling😉🖕
Grrr.
Ya know I thought this very thing. You are 100% right. There was nothing like this before Pantera.. obviously there was death metal bands but thats completely different. I was there, Phil set the bar for everyone after him and still no one can touch him
u said it for me 👍🤘
Agreed... Curious Ken but not demonstrative 😉
Even without any effect, Phil's voice is incredible! Or at least it was!
Thanks for the visit. Rock on!
He’s pretty good lately, good to see him recover a bit.
To me, the raw vocal on the original track fit the song and Pantera's style better than with all the extra production magic, but it sure was interesting and entertaining to see how much fun you were having adding it!
Thanks for weighing in!
I agree
Perfect!!! Youve been polite actually, cause all those efcts simply doesent match the song
when theyre going on all the way through, it sounds like the vocals are too “look at me” all the time
I agree. I think we are missing raw natural voices in music these days. The best singers need minimal affects.
Agreed 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Phil Anselmo. The guy who had an insanely amazing 4 octave range, then traded it for a 4 note range.
Haha!
Drugs are bad mkay
Yup. Way too many "free smokes" and Black Tooths.
Yeah but those 4 notes will tear your head off. ;)
His talking voice now is even lower than a "bass" register, it's actually unbelievable.
Phil was actually one hell of a singer in the early days. Cemetery Gates had some VERY impressive chops. I suppose there was only so long his vocal chords could sustain the beating he gave them. Don’t get me wrong, though, I love everything he’s ever done. He’s heavy metal royalty for damn sure.
Rock on!
Pantera is one of my favorite bands in the genre.
Very creative and tight rhythmically.
Thanks for the visit. Rock on!
I think Pantera made their name as a live band and they wanted that to come across in the studio with not-to-crazy production.
However, your effects really did fatten up the vocal track and I’m glad to have that knowledge to use myself!
You talked about this vocal technique being dangerous and from what Phil could do back in the day compared to his voice now….yeah, you hit the nail on the head. I think it was worth it though. Like what you said about Layne Staley in the Man in a Box video (paraphrased) “if it immortalizes your voice on a great record, maybe it’s worth to some vocalists.”
To me, Vulgar Display of Power is THE essential metal album. Still untouchable even today.
The album prior, "Cowboys From Hell" he sang a Rob Halford style and it was awesome!!
Rock on!
@@kentamplin check out "Medicine Man" 👍😎🤟
@@SteveKaynan When i first heard Shattered, i thought of Judas immediately. To bad he didn't take that kind of vocal forward.
Both Power metal & CFH have Halford style .
By the way by Vulgar , he still have that ability , but he dropped the vibrato and added more gritt
But some " hidden notes " ending rasp and frequencies are still , with screech high , in the same notes that the 2 previous album . As the verses of power metal .
In 1992/1993 , he still does the Power metal / CFH scream here and there when he want it .
On Psycho Holiday or Cemetary gates in Hollywood palladium 1992 , he does it ..
In a bootleg of the last show of Vulgar , he does it in cemetary gates and This love , and a bit in the art of schredding
The osaka /tokyo 1992 too
@@caiopavani5413 yeah, I completely agree, I know that higher register is falsetto, it's sounds cool! I'll always be a fan of the Cowboys record!!
Yes! Easily my favorite heavy metal band of all time. Thank you!
Rock on!
Can we all appreciate the fact that Ken actually put on a lightning bolt shirt which seems like a nod to Dime and the Dean From Hell. Very cool. Also loved the video. I like watching Ken get excited, he starts saying things like "when you're looking at panning its about 9 o'clock..." So 25% to the left, got it. lmfao had to give you a hard time. Also "we can A, B and see how I did", I A, B and see what you did there lol.
Plus I wanted to point out that Ken's videos on singing safely with distortion works well, its where I learned it and why I can sing take after take of screaming songs and still talk perfectly fine. Thanks Ken.
Rock on!
This series is getting more exciting as it goes on! A long time I've waited for something like this. You absolutely rocked the UA-cam with your SlipKnot and this Pantera vocal analysis Ken.
Also, I'm glad that you made it clear that singing stuff like this is out of most people's league. I see many so-called vocal coaches pretend being able to sing stuff like this, but in the end they just call that gnarly stuff Vocal Fry 😅
Keep up the good work 👍
Glad you enjoy it!
Awesome! Next, Cemetery Gates or Shattered!
Great suggestion!
Shattered is a bit boring composition wise, but godDAMN he rips it wide open on that track
@@kentamplin Would love to see a breakdown of Cemetary Gates
Phil did some incredible vocal work on Power Metal by Pantera as well.
Plus, I love these vocal analysis vids and the remixs you come up with. Great job, Ken.
Rock on!
Have You Heard Phil singing Clean? He was amazing his High's were insane!
Fair play Ken. Phil will always be the man 🤘
Rock on!
Phil was the perfect icing on the Dimebag/Vinnie Paul/Rex Cake. And what a power cake🤘🏼
Absolutely!
This was great, I really liked hearing more of the technical side of things. Fascinating!
Happy to hear that!
Your mix sounded pretty sweet, Ken! Thanks a bunch!
Thanks for listening!
Phil the king of metal 🤘
The greatest metal vocalist/frontman period
🤘🏼⚜️🥃
Rock on!
Looks like you’ve bought the entire t-shirt catalogue from a Facebook ad haha. Great lesson as usual!
I did! 😀
This is more like a mixing lesson rather than a vocal lesson. But I am definitely not complaining as I just started getting into mixing recently LOL!
Great to hear!
if only more metal singers could sing their screaming like Phil did...a true master at that style, wish Pantera's genre could have caught on but not everybody is as good as Phil i guess
Thanks for the visit. Rock on!
Phil is the MAN.
I love Phil Anselmo, he's such a great and genre changing singer. but please make a video breaking down the underrated Peter Steele Black NO.1 vocals
Thanks for the visit. Rock on!
I do love your joy and curiousness!!!
Phil Anselmo also has a lot of melody based songs like Cemetery Gates. Not just the Pantera songs, but also on the first two Down albums there are several good melody type songs.
Rock on!
Cemetery Gates would've been great 🤘😎👍 IMO that's their best song with great vocals.
Rock on!
You should listen Power metal
Phil Anselmo - The only guy that comes to mind who speaks in drop B tuning.
Rock on!
Ya and don’t forget Kirk Windstien from Crowbar.
Finally! A real metal piece
Thanks for the visit. Rock on!
I LOVE THAT SHIRT!!!!!!
Awesome!
💚❤Love your joy of adding a little extra...with a laugh😄
Thanks, Bendtsen!
Easily the most real metal artist episode! Thanks Ken!
Thanks for the visit. Rock on!
A same name guy wtffff lol 😂😂😂
Sounds more modern with the effects. I like both ways
Nope. It sounds more brutal without your effects...
Rock on!
Agreed
Yeah Raw & straight iinface
I agree. I don't know a thing about audio engineering and all that, but the vocals had a sort of echo sound, like they were bouncing off something, like performing inside a tin can. I agree that Pantera is best raw and in your face--it's Pantera.
amazing advice for recording vocals
👍😊
Am I the only one who could hear the music in my head along with the vocals? RIP Dime & Vin.
Rock on!
That's a nice shirt for explaining Phil's vocals! He was just powerful at his performances back then!
I wonder what shirt you gonna usa on "Faith no More - Ashes to Ashes" Mike Patton analysis... Maybe a fire one?
Haha!
I really enjoyed that video, Ken.
Glad to hear it!
Your mix sounds great!
Thanks!
Yes but I would put a little more Hall effect than Reverb
Thanks, Ken!!!! Very awesome of you!!!
My pleasure!!
The changes you made sounded great, really gave it some backbone.
Glad you think so!
I saw Phil live a couple years ago. He had lost a lot of weight, looked pretty much like he did when he was 25, and he was singing at least as well as in '92 - '94 - even the pretty high stuff. Dude must be on some sort of amazing health kick. The only thing I noticed was him puff on an inhaler twice between songs. Other than that he was top notch.
Awesome shirt Ken
⚡⚡⚡
It's like the flash symbol lighting speed lighting symbol ⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡
I prefer Phil's vocal without the beefed up effects but this is a very nice video on teaching how to achieve a big, effected rock vocal tone ( Layne Staley approach to this was stunning) so kudos and thanks for the great insight Ken.
Pantera revolutionized metal in the early 90's, pulling away from overly processed, often high pitched vocals of the late 80's to a rawer hardcore type approach and aesthetic with a serious groove, passion and incredible musicianship.
It connected with the masses to the nth degree proving Terry Date's production was sympathetic to the bands vision and by keeping it stripped back and "real" it stood out from the crowd. Regarding Phil's voice and the vocal production on the Vulgar album, I think it's perfection. It achieved what it set out to do at that time, it felt fresh, in your face, raw and new and to my ear hasn't dated in the slightest which is sometimes a pitfall of overly working not only vocal tracks but any instrumentation..
I've watched a lot of your videos Ken, I love them, full of great insights and tips. Thank you, keep up the great work.
Rock on!
The mad scientist. Haha that looks like a lot of fun
👍
This is gonna be fun!!
Woot-woot!
So cool that you did this video man ! You know there's millions of us out here that "RESPECT" Phil's singing ! Some dont get it but It's powerful stuff, thank you
My pleasure!
I was waiting for this video! 👍🏻
Hope you enjoyed it!
Thank you for sharing this. The layering of each effect is what fascinated me. It definitely made the vocal bigger. Being someone who enjoys bands like Symphony X & Kamelot to name two bands in the world of progressive metal, this helped me to understand how a recorded, layered vocal can make the song have an epic feel along with the symphonic metal music accompanying it. Happy New Year and keep up the great work with these videos. I'm learning a lot.
Happy New Year, Audrey!
Great video! Does anybody else notice the track is slightly faster and higher in pitch than the track on the record? I guess Ken uses the original mix, which was probably slowed down and consequently slightly lowered in pitch in the mastering process?
Thanks for weighing in, shyboy2112!
OMG Ken this was awesome!
👍😀
I grew up with these guys in Arlington Texas, our band got to play on the tour with them a little bit too - we were all part of the Kiss army back then 🤑
Really miss the brothers 🙏❤️ Phil was incredible on the “Cowboys from Hell” album and I remember just staying up with him in the shows was impossible due to his almost inhuman energy and that range before he went more this direction was on par with Halford and Cornell...
Rock on!
I will try to sing this one tomorrow. I'm not a singer but it might work. Hopefully my wife goes out. She got angry when i tried a few lines of it.
Another fun video Ken! Really like what you did to the track....very cool!
Great series... keep em coming! 🎼
More to come!
Great job Ken. Congrats from
Brazil
Thank you very much!
While it definitely sounds larger with the effects you added on, the raw brutal vocals from Phil fit Pantera style so well, it's just a crude fist on your face!
Awesome analysis, BTW pls consider checking Russell Allen from Symphony X :D
Thanks for the visit. Rock on!
Lol it’s perfect the way it is. The original is lively, raw, infectious, soulful, powerful, dynamic.... what you did was ruin it. For example, fixing parts you claim is “weak” is the dynamics and contrast that make the other parts stand out.
Pantera knew what they were doing. They perfected and elevated every nanosecond of their music to what it was supposed to be.
What you did was fun and interesting though not knocking it but perhaps don’t imply you’re “improving” it.
Interesting video Ken, keep em coming :)
Thanks, will do!
Your version of the vocals is really awesome!
Thank you so much!!
Really liked it
I love this videos, thank you ❤🤟
You're so welcome!
Thank you, Ken! Good stuff 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Still wating BLACKIE LAWLESS from W.A.S.P
Rock on!
That would be interesting...
Blackie's a christian now
Awesome Ken ! Very interesting breakdown.
Glad you think so!
Phil’s the man! Ken’s the man too! Yoda of singing 🤘🏻
Rock on, Ben!
How did he survive all this razor blading his vocal chords? Phil has a very great voice. You should isolate cemetery gates 😍
Rock on!
this video made me laugh so hard. great remix my man
👍
I've gotta say, I heard the low octave isolated track and was a bit skeptical, but when you brought the instrumental track back in, it really came together. The right vocal was barely there in the overall mix compared to isolated, but the way the overall vocals sounded was crisp. It wasn't quite as raw, but there was definitely an elevation in attack. The Ken Tamplin Production Academy certainly has a nice ring to it.
I can see why this video is a little more production heavy. This song isn't super vocally dynamic compared to Cemetery Gates, which would be a fascinating song to see you break down techniques in. I'm certainly looking forward to that one. Rock on!
Thanks for the visit. Rock on!
Your an amazing singer. Why aren't you a rock star
Not interested.
check out Ken's music video for "Livin For My Lord"... that's why
What a wholesome guy I mean come on man this guy can do almost anything KEN TAMPLIN you should teach us how to do guttaral vocals
👍😊
... 🫣😬 I think you missed the known history of metal, Ken. Phil is arguably the best metal vocal frontman to have ever lived from his range and technique alone. He needed no introduction and they all detested dressing up. Hearing his vocals dressed up sounds like an experiment but I hope you actually appreciate the perfection of this vocal track untethered.
Maybe it would be worth a try to do several "experiments" but not with the aim of making it better.
Because you can't make those vocal tracks or the song any better- as they are truly perfect.
You should look at Down's song "Stone the Crow". Phil Anselmo goes seamlessly from singing to growling. It would be interesting to hear your take on it.
Thanks for the visit. Rock on!
I think you made a good point early on in the vid, when you mentioned "hes trying to sing". I'm not a Pantera fan, but listening to this, he has ALOT of melodic qualities to his voice! After the slipknot assessment, this is night and day....and I'm not meaning to be disrespectful in any way. This guy here, can sing and it's just the road that hes taken that puts me off. In a slightly less intense genre, I think he would be very well regarded, by a wider range of people. I'm aware It's not the be all and end all, I'm just saying......
Thanks for weighing in, Tony!
That low octave was neat
Alpha Dad 👍👍👍
Master Ken I love this videos man
Glad to hear it!
This is great, like all the other isolated vocals 👍 My favourite analyses till now are Queen/Bowie "under pressure" and Bon Jovi "livin on a prayer" 🙂
Awesome!
Cool man!
👍😀
It's nice but from interviews about this album, Pantera was going for a live raw feel and not so much the slick overdubbed recording, even taking out the rhythm guitar during guitar solos, to get that live feel.
Thanks for the visit. Rock on!
It’s sounds huge with headphones on when you added the effects and compression on the voice. Great stuff Ken 🤘🏽
Glad you like it!
Ken have you done an analysis on Maynard James Keenan Fear Innoculum isolated vocal. Any of the songs. I'm amazed how much your channel has grown. Wow!!
I haven't. 😀👍
Really just Awesome and great work again ken. How about doing 'cemetery gates' next.
👍😀
I really enjoy these breakdowns. I think Devin Townsend's "Juular" would be pretty cool to analyze
Rock on!
You should check out Phil's range during Panteras' early glam days.
Thanks for the visit. Rock on!
Power metal is NO WAY a glam record
And me, waiting for Chino Moreno (Deftones)!!
Phil’s range is just nuts... should have done Cemetery Gates
Peace
Rock on!
that second sound has so much reverb but i think it should have sounded like that when they preformed live.
Excellent! Very interesting 👌👌
Thank you! Cheers!
love you greeb lighting t shirt ken you are awesome
Cool!
Wow! Pantera! One of the heavy metal bands. His distortion is really unsafe. Like the idea of compressing a copy of the main vocals it really sounded like in the face all the time. This is the mix for this kind if sound.Thanks sir Ken for this series.
Rock on!
Great vid! I’d like to see you instruct on how to sing like Phil “safely” as well maestro) for what’s about the vocal treatment to me the original sounds a lot more “in your face” as the added tracks make the whole things mushy and phasy as phase cancellation happens :/
I see what you did and it sounds bigger like you said but the reverb kills it for me. I did enjoy the video very much and I did learn some stuff and I appreciate that.
👍😀
Great Channel Ken!
Glad you enjoy it!
You are so funny. I think you would be fun to work with as a vocal coach.
I am fun! Rock on!
thanks for production tips!
You bet!
Love your channel Ken! You GOTTA do Cemetery Gates and Suicide Note (Part 2) by Pantera next!
Thanks for the visit. Rock on!
Yo the first effect sounds like Bat Country !
Hi Ken, I'm so excited to hear this!!! Have you ever heard the Pantera song, shattered? He does some Rob Halford high screams. Phil has such a unique and powerful voice. Walk is an excellent song. I didn’t think Pantera could sound any better, but you did it again. I love the mix you did. Thank you Ken. RE-SPECT 👊🏼
Thanks for the visit. Rock on!
