I hope your singer can handle it! And oh man your bassist is gonna love this one! And the drummer will too, Jer does an awesome drum line in this song!

we might have to lower it a bit on the "it's more that i can bear parts but i love it. Jake (our bassist) should be able to play it if i can play it upside down with my eyes closed! And I don't even play bass! I was also thinking...

STEALING BABIES!

Everyone's a Junkie

The Wonderful Future

It's ALL about what the singer wants to do.

Clumsy is a simple one to do too. And people will know it.

It's nice to see a fellow guitarist on this board.

It still should be mostly up to the singer/vocalist, IMO.

That's a tough decision for OLP songs. If your singer doesn't have the right kind of voice for a certain song, he may not be able to pull it off. I would suggest something off Naveed, so that he may not have to try too hard on the falsetto while still being able to really get into it, along with everyone else getting to jam out.

I like to think I'm pretty okay with imitating Raine's classic voice, I wish I could be in a band and give it a whirl!

MindsOnLoan · Post by **MindsOnLoan** » 7/16/2009, 11:04 pm

I didn't mean with imitating, just pulling off the notes. The singer would have his own style, of course.

There's no reason your singer has to sing like Raine either, or that your band has to play the song the same way OLP does.

Ok? The song you perform will only be as good as the vocalist makes it. Obviously the entire band should have input, but when it comes down to it, the front man is the one who makes the decisions and who will make or break the song.

If you pick a song that the singer can't sing, then what's the point?
