  1. I guess I have like 17 or 18 weeks in total.

    You can really just listen to Bad for the technique part, the wide awakes from ZooTV Dublin are brutal, raw screams. If you listen to like Rome 2010, they're pretty clean. Guess which one hurt his voice the most?

    Do you think the falsetto hurt it too? They were crazy during ZooTV, especially during Mysterious Ways. I'm always like "How can he reach those notes??" while listening to it. I prefer 360 Wide Awakes, they are more controlled but powerful too. After 20 years of yelling, that's not really surprising his voice was hurt during Popmart and Elevation then I guess.
  3. I think that if we're gonna be technical, it wasn't falsetto, it was head voice. Falsetto is when the vocal cords don't compress, and air is let out. It can be applied anywhere in the voice. Head voice is when you're singing in the head resonance parts of the voice.

    I actually don't think they hurt him as much as the screaming, maybe only a little. He still had an amazing falsetto on Popmart. And he wasn't yelling and straining like he did in chest voice for the wide awakes.

    Also, the notes he hit weren't THAT high, listen to Night and Day, that has his highest note ever recorded in the screaming part towards the end. I can get there as well, I can get even higher. I think the MW notes are only high Cs or something, the wide awakes if Bad are also high Cs.
  4. Sorry if I'm posting slowly, writing these long posts on my iPod touch
  5. Don't worry Olof, thanks for the effort, I know this is the most complicated thing ever

    Thanks for the explaination of the difference between falsetto and head voice. I understand it better now . You're right, Night and Day is amazing, that could have been interesting to see if he could hit that notes live in the ZooTV era.
  6. Falsetto means something like false voice I think. The difference in sound is that a falsetto often sounds breathy, or at least a lot less powerful.

    just remembered that i think I have a crazy pic for the photo thread.
  7. I'm joining you guys after doing 3 hours of English homework (which I haven't even finished yet!)
  8. Hi Kieran ! Wow, that must be something hard, or at least veeeery long.

    Olof, I watched videos on youtube explaining the difference with demos. I really feel that difference now.


  9. It wasn't one piece of homework, it was several: 1 essay, 1 fictional biography, close reading questions, techniques of an article... Nowhere near finishing the essay, half way through finishing the fictional biography. Hard work.

    How are you doing, Thib?
  10. Indeed, that is what I call homework. Not hurried about having to deal with it again...

    I'm fine thank you, even if going back to school is closer than ever
  11. Hi Kieran! That sounds really tough, I hope it's stuff that's at least a but fun and stuff you want to learn, but I guess it is for someone who wants to become a jounalist

    Will the essay be published on your blog that I check with hope for an article almost every day?

    Hello Olof! It is tough, yes, but I suppose it has to be done. The essay is something I can't be arsed with - discursive writing. Yeah, it sounds up my street but I have to write formally, something I cannot do to save myself.

    It's spelt journalist by the way

    I'm typing up one now, check back in 15 minutes, should be one there.
