    I have been a live sound engineer for over 30 years and I am completely amazed by the quality of your performance and overall talent. I have worked with everyone from James Brown to 40s Big Band and could listen you all night. Amazing, please don't stop sharing your talent, its a gift to everyone who hears you.

  • @mikemasse
    @mikemasse  11 років тому +47

    Some of the critical singing techniques didn't come naturally. So I had to unlearn some things when it came to vocal placement and vowel modulation, breathing, support, etc. A good teacher can spot your trouble areas and help you correct them. Some people just figure that stuff out naturally. I figured out about 70% of it, and needed guidance on the rest. Mind you, I've "unlearned" some of the things I was taught, too, so some bad habits persist.

      First time I ever saw U2 - in SLC - was with The Alarm as the opening band, and I thought the same thing about The Alarm. Only luck of the draw made U2 a bigger band, because in 1983, the Alarm was a better band... and they are still touring too, by the way.

    Vocals aside, the best thing about this performance is the guitar work, especially The Phil. The delay and the tone are absolutely perfect. It honestly sounds like Bono, Adam, and The Edge sat down in a pizza place to play a show (Larry wasn't invited...). I continue to be blown away by every performance you post. Please keep on doing what you do, because the world is a better place with your covers in it.

    One of my favorite things about the Internet is watching my friends' reactions when they see a Mike Massé Live At Pie Pizzeria video for the first time. I also find it incredible that U2 has to play this song live in a lower key because Bono can't touch the high notes, but Mike nails them with ease. Legend.

      Sign to who? He seems happy not needing to be signed by anyone, same with countless others in this age and good for them, corrupt. Talent carries itself with hard work and this guy looks like he really knows hard work. The problem is covers can be appreciated for years but how much will they bring you, you need to create something yourself to leave a mark, talent or not, you have to write something beautiful and have a sprinkle of luck.

The only thing I can possible conclude is the difference in listening to you is I hear a voice who is backed up with love & passion towards authenticity for music that inspires.

    Sometimes I think people inadvertently overlook the contribution and talent of the other half of this duo, Jeff Hall. I think he does amazing things with that bass and he gives us some fine vocal's/harmonies. Besides that, he is a joy to watch. Especially when you see he's really getting into a song. He get's the head bop going and then that "Guitar face". Priceless it is.

Honestly Mike masse is without a doubt the best and most impressive vocalist ive heard. so many singers cant sing their studio best live and it shows when they perform. Mike is in a league of his own really strong clear clean and soulful vocals. A true wonder :D Keep it up you are inspiring millions!! myself included:D

    This guy is off the chain. He could sing lead vocals in any band. Production is crazy. Bass player solid as shit. Check out their version of Toto AFRICA, then go and crush your guitar. Damn.
