riceman80 Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I cant sing clean for ish but my gutteralls and screams are pretty on point. Been singing and learning how to control them since my teen years. My go to song would probably be Manipulation Thru Idols by Sylosis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other news, I did a Karaoke show on Friday night and the first song that people sang was Picture by Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow. I thought about gouging my eyes out with plastic spoons. Almost did it, but then decided, I needed the money and didn't want to go to the hospital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tugboat Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 My go to "panic choice" Karaoke song is always "Save Tonight" - Eagle Eye Cherry. With more time to think about it and consider and gauge the audience though...man, i've got a lot of other songs to pull out of the kit. Variety is the spice of life. I really miss actually playing and singing in a band though. Both as a lead singer, and honestly...i think i enjoyed singing backup/harmony more anyway. There's something about dragging out that harmony and it just resonates so sweet that's hard to replace. Just something that's totally fallen away in my life though, and i don't acutely miss it...but every so often reminded of how much i used to love doing it. Always gets these waves of nostalgia where i convince myself i'm gonna get back into it. But then i sober up and do other stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's mostly easy sailing, but there's always at least part of every song that he goes into that upper register belt and it's just...moving all chips to the center of the table if you think you can hit it reliably. You usually can't even just fudge it with falsetto 'cause it sounds wrong when it's supposed to be belted. I just stay the heck away. Takes stones to pull that off. Or, a register that fits more naturally probably. I also find the term "Country Western" highly amusing. That's what my dad calls it. Though he usually throws an "&" in between for extra hilarity.

UKTexans Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I don't know why but I often find myself singing "Early morning when I wake up I look like KISS but without the makeup and that's a good line to take it to the bridge" when I wake up in the mornings.

DoleINGout Posted March 15, 2018 Author Share Posted March 15, 2018 Anybody opposed to karaoke apps where you're recorded versus singing on a stage in front of people? Main differences? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugashane Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Weezer - Say It Ain't So Hootie and the Blowfish - Let Her Cry Learning For the Last Time by Darius Rucker and trying to get the cover of Ice Ice Baby by Marty Ray. I'm rarely in front of more than a few people when I play/sing. Got a group of 4 other guys that we get together monthly and play, drink, and enjoy cigars. I'm the least talented of the 5 of us musically, by a lot. lol One of them will have to likely tutor my son eventually, he's taking music really seriously and will definitely be way better than me. But three guys split the alcohol costs, one brings the cigars, and I cook all the food. Pretty good time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
