I have taking photos as I found things, but it would take a while to find them all 😂 In 1975 he joined St mary (church choir - i found him on the picture) where he sang tenor for at least 35 years (the same choir that sang backup on the «hail to england» album. Somewhere between 76-78 Lou sang the lead on a recording of a classical piece - but it has proven imposible to come by, as not many copies where made.
      What you can find on youtube is «harlequin - fever», where you really can hear the the beautifull unspoiled voice he had at that time (78). You should also check out «bible black», where you can find 2 numbers with him singing (lou marullo). There is also a lot of interesting history from the guy who put it up 💪🏻. Think bible black was demo’ed in spring/summer 81, and manowar whent to florida in the fall/winter 81, so i do not know if lou left or was kicked from bible black, or if he was just helping them out.

But Lou whent to a catholic school, and there was a classical choir there, and strict teaching, so if you put 2 and 2 together - I think he started early. He is from a familly with a lot of children, and as i can recall, his father was a good singer, there were music in the home (his parents liked opera). Lou’s son is also a good singer - his name is Eric 🙈 Lou tells some cool stories in «lou marullo - string theory for bowhunters» i could recomend it. I have found most info when reading stuff under his real name, not under manowar, because he is supposed to be a bad ass there 😂
      In a manowar «story» he states that he heard the screams from ian gillian and tried to foumd his own way.. but if you listen to «harlequin - fever», it all comes from his classical training. In that song you hear how carefull he was at that time in his mix - he whent into head voice from about F#-G#, and was not pushing. And the head voice was gentle. But his pich was brilliant. I read somewhere that produsers called him mr «one take». All that choir on the Harlequin single would be a pain in the ass money wise if he couldn’t cut it in one or two takes.. if it is not 98% in pich - all that choir would sound terrible - but it sounds heavenly.

    Loved hearing your complete analysis of Eric, Zach. I have been a fan of Manowar and Eric's voice for decades. I still remember back when my (ex) wife heard his voice on this particular song and, as an amateur church singer, she decided to get all holier-than-thou and insult him. I found it highly ironic considering how 1) his body of work and ability are amazing and recognized by millions -- including vocal coaches like you, and 2) she wasn't even capable of vibrato or matching Eric's range. During my karaoke trips here in Japan, I always sing some Manowar, among other similar things, and my friends compliment the performance and music -- it's not something most of them typically hear. Whenever I sing Manowar's stuff, I am always renewed in my respect for Eric Adams' voice and discipline.

    This is Eric Adams far from his prime. He's astonishingly 66 years old now (I didn't realize he was that old until I just looked it up) and I would suspect this is concert is quite recent. This song came out in 1992 (the studio version). It would be interesting to analyze how well he sung this same song on that 1992 live tour promoting the album. Even better still, you should listen to him singing in the early 80's (his absolute prime). Songs like, "Dark Avenger" and "Battle Hymn" from 1982. That high end could literally shatter glass (a la Geoff Tate, circa 1981-1987).

    What's more, after almost 40 years of touring and recording there is no substantial vocal decay to be heard from him. They've started playing in the D tuning by the year 2000, but mostly for aesthetic reasons rather than due to his limitations it seems, because the live recordings from 1999 show no problems on his side in hitting E5-A5 notes in almost every song. It seems that his tessitura just lowered with age - he was more trebly in the 80s, but with age he traded that for a more rich baritone lower end, which he started displaying more often later into his career, alongside his insane falsetto.

I would love for you to check him in a song like "Carry On", or "Ride the Dragon". Please do it, you will love it. He also did Nosua Dorma.

    Great reaction, thanks for that. The way you analyze his vioce is great. After watching your video I will listen to Manowar in a different way.
    Also I want to mention that you are the first one who reacts to Manowar. For me personally it was very important, because Manowar was a part of my life and gave me so many emotions. Of course I grew up and listen to much more genres. But metal and Manowar (and some other metal bands from the 90s) made me the person i am now. i am calm, friendly and of course a guy all the rapper freaks want to punch. :-)
    Anyway, I grew up till today without any fights.
    Thanks again for this video and your opinion.
    Btw... you really need to make a reaction video of "Nightwish - Ghost Love Score". Takle the live version from Wacken.
    only this reaction to the video will get you a lot of attention. Your channel will boost like a rocket, trust me.
    Stay healthy and keep doing it.

    Fantastic, I've been looking for ages for someone who knows what's what to analyse Eric's voice. Tbh, his early voice (first half of the 80s) was less disciplined but pure like a clarion, just amazing. As the 80s come to a close he probably peaks, uniting that incredible tone with good techniques. Personally I think his overall better performance is in the 1992 album the Triumph of Steel. In the mid 90s his range starts going down, and he introduces a lot of more guttural sounds. It's still him, unmistakably, but that perfect vibrato is gone. The video you analyzed was probably from the late 90s, I'd say anything between 97 and 00. You really should look into the song Gates of Valhalla, perfect example of how versatile his voice was in 1982.

    Very underrated singer in my mind..been listening to Manowar since 1984. Love the band but can't help but think that Eric would get more credit for his singing if Manowar was not looked at as sought of a joke(not by me just to clarify)band that other than their die hard fans they often not taken seriously. Now for a suggestion for you....Take a look into Jeff Scot Soto he has some very good solo material also sang with Malmsteen/Journey and did a Queen Tribute concert that is impressive. obviously liked your analysis of Eric and will be checking out some more of your videos. METAL IN THE BLOOD!

    Another great video, I liked how you showed both sides of the argument while still being clear about what you personally believe. About the Nessun Dorma it would be great to see you analyze Eric singing that song but I would also recommend Sarah Brightman. She is a pop opera singer and she also sang it, I think that would be a good place to really point out the difference in technique between the styles of singing.

    • @timbrown57
      @timbrown57 5 років тому +2

      Eric Adams sang a duet with Sarah Brightman called "Where Eagles Fly", and it was incredible, but for some reason it was not officially released. There used to be a video of it on UA-cam, but apparently it was removed. But I found it on a Russian video site.
