I wonder what Raine will do with the vocalizations like from Big Dumb Rocket, where in the studio version he spazzes out with "doo doo do do uh do daaa do do", etc. I'm assuming ignore them; hopefully he surprises us.

Raine has been singing Alice In Chains to warm up his voice lately, so I've been told by a trustworthy source. So far, I've noticed a difference in the performances since he started doing it. I think he can sing the songs. The question is, can he memorize the lyrics?

That's awesome news... a "trustworthy" source, huh?

I seem to remember watching some clip (pretty sure from the A Decade DVD) where Raine has the lyrics taped to the floor right in front of his mic. That might be a good idea for this tour.

Yeah, I know for sure he did that on the '05 tour. I think he probably still does it for some songs, but I've never thought to look at the stage to see.

Raine makes this job also in Burn Burn deluxe DVD in the footage of Monkey Brains...he look the floor and i think that there were the lyrics. In fact in the live version of Monkey Brains he change the lyrics among the studio version...

I'll be in the crowd, singing the lyrics for him so he won't forget. I'm just that generous of a person.

I'm with ya, lol. And I'll even do the crazy falsetto vocalizations if he doesn't. Or if he does. Either way, I'm doing them, and I'll be drunk. :nod:

He didn't change the lyrics on purpose.... he just doesn't know the words... lol. He's been singing them wrong for so long know I think he actually believes those ARE the lyrics. :mrgreen:

And yeah...
At the same time that i'm very excited about hearing these albuns live I'm a bit afraid they won't sound as cool as I would like them to.

Is anyone else feeling a bit afraid?

Post by **xjsb125** » 12/6/2009, 1:52 pm

Intrigued more than fearful. A lot of the songs on Spiritual Machines require a 5th musician doing keys/guitar to work. I'm interested to hear how they interpret them live, or if they bring in an additional musician.

Heavy Alibi · Post by **Heavy Alibi** » 12/6/2009, 1:59 pm

It will definitely be an experience to hear all these songs live from the new OLP, no matter how they sound. One part of me wants to hear them as close to the original recordings as possible, but another part of me wants to hear the "new OLP" take them on with a new style. Hmm.

I'd rather hear them as close to the CD version as possible =X

I just watched Innocent live from recently and if Raine can't even hit the "I" before the chorus, how could he possibly pull off Car Crash, TWF, All My Friends or any of those?

Im more fearful i would say.

Either they plan to really try and ace those songs in this tour regardless of recent performances, or they have no idea what they're getting into. But I doubt they could forget how intricate those songs were with Raine's voice and the instruments and everything. They know what they're getting into, they know these songs aren't anything like The End Is Where We Begin or AYD.

Sure, Mike probably has a good advantage since he wrote/recorded the album. But I was thinking of a Joel + Zac combo. With an album like Spiritual Machines a musician like Zac would bring a lot more to the table than another pure guitarist. Jamie or Mike E. would work too.
