i think his worst is bruce dickinson's best

Actually I think how his voice changed was a bit of tragedy

check out Battle Cry on youtube

i don't see how he gets that top spot

so, to drive home the point earlier, this Judas Priest track shows that his primary departure from classical singing is using less vibrato

and it works

it's honestly one of the better ways to sing great without being a foofy opera singer

yeah halford really made his voice soar on this

hey this is real important

if any of you want to do his style of head voice

the way to train that is to sing with your falsetto as low as possible

and over months and years, it will start to sound like that instead

same deal with axl rose and marco hietala and many others with a similar sound

that is the secret

the con: what it does to your voice is semi-irreversible

nah not necessarily

you might permanently lose proficiency at normal falsetto for it

Listen to Halls of Valhalla, it shows he still has it.

i got scoped by an ENT

Eric Adams is great too

no nodes

I am not saying it will produce nodes

but yeah, that is how to do what he is doing

But his high notes aren't just falsetto

it's hard as hell to do as well as he is doing it

They're more like a head voice with vocal fry

that is what I am saying

it is basically a falsetto vocal fry

The biggest impediment to most people doing it is that they don't have enough breath control

It requires a lot of power

And control

Too much, blowouts

Too little, cords don't move properly and it sounds like shit

it seems like with that technique, it is harder to place notes

like it's easier to be a hair off key singing tha way

he's always on point on recordings

so he is doing a great job

sometimes not so much live

exactly

but he's old now
