I have a pretty good ear for that sort of thing though, and I find it hard to believe that it was a live recording. If it really was, then he could possibly be the most talented singer I've ever heard. The control of pitch in some of those runs is crazy accurate.

DSOP wrote:I've been saying it for years: Rather than waste time playing shitty clubs where you can't guarantee good sound, just record a bunch of great sounding videos of your band and put them on YouTube. If it's really good, it will catch on. If it isn't, you'll know that it doesn't have wings and that you need to try something else.
Once something catches on with YouTube, it takes off very quickly and leads to generally good things for the artist.
There is still something to be said for learning how to play an entire show in front of humans though. That is a skill that cannot be learned any other way.
