  1. It's a dual-disc which means you've got the CD audio on the first side and the DVD on the second. All the DVD has is the songs in surround sound and a 25-minute documentary - you see his guitars and what he plays, video of a trip to Japan and how the songs were created. Nice addition but not essential.

    So just one disc. If you're not sure you can play region 0 DVDs then just find the regular CD. Below's a video of the first song on the album.

  2. I can play them, it's just a question of the cost

  3. That's what stops me from a lot of records. I do want them but I can't afford them all.
  4. Hmm, judging from that video, I think I'd prefer Springsteen Definetively something I may buy some day though...


  5. Ah yeah - sometimes I prefer Springsteen over albums like that one. Or at least metal anyway. There's the other Joe Perry album too - which I started out with: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Have_Guitar,_Will_Travel.

    Not as fast as the other one but still nice.



    I think the next Springsteen album I go with is likely to be Nebraska or Darkness. And just doing some recording I lost my voice. Great!
  6. Forgot to warm up?

  7. I never warm up. I usually go into it and find sometimes my voice is far stronger than it should be.

    I recorded something the other day and managed to hit a real high note and hold it for a good length of time.
  8. I would advice to do at least some short warm up. Feels like it helps me

    I usually do some short warm ups from this youtube channel
    But I don't have the discipline to to a proper warm up, but it feels much better with just a few minutes. Sometimes I just have to sing and just sing though.
  9. Just like 'ahhhhhh' and 'oooooooh' for a few minutes before you mean?

    I really should before doing a big song before though - yet I listened back to something and you can hear how hard I went at the note. I will upload something...what's coming is what I was like with a sore throat and probably shouldn't have attempted it.
  10. With a bad throat singing is a poor idea But for those of us that can't resist warm up is more important than ever.

    I mean maybe some up and down your voice, starting low in chest voice transcending into head voice and back down again. I usually do this with some lip bubbles (that you can find on that channel), and some "he e ey" that you kinda go up and then swallow down to a lower tone in your chest voice.

    I hate those days when the voice isn't right, and losing it sucks, I really lost mine being sick in February and it took a month or something before it was really back. I didn't warm up much back then, but after that I'm a little bit more careful with my voice, since losing it sucked.
  11. I know but I love pushing it as far as possible and seeing just how awesome it can sound. Then again I use phasing a lot when editing so it kinda covers the mistakes. Not a legit one-take process but I find when you go to hit a big note and just doing something to one of the parts there it sounds totally off.

    I'll definitely take the warm-up bits into mind next time, don't want it to completely go like last time. I sounded like a frog!!! I think in the one below, I still do. Judge for yourself. If you want to hear how bad it was: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?jdgoetx4b60g1jb

    Oh and I need to remember to drink when doing 10-minute songs without a break. That hurts.
  12. Will listen to it after listening to Lonesome Day by the Boss. I think I may just buy both.
