Hey Dave, do you realize how fortunate you are to possess the type of voice you have? In my experience it's quite unique for a male singer to be able to make that transition into a falsetto or head voice so smoothly and effortlessly like you are able to do. Like others have said, you sound a lot like 60's Brian Wilson and much of the reason for this is he also possessed that same type of voice. (Now don't go ruining that gift with a bunch of cigarettes and cocaine!) You also have a good ear which helps a lot. I've really enjoyed listening to your covers. Really impressive stuff! The only thing I would suggest is cutting back on the amount of reverb on your vocals. It really pushes your vocals back and reduces the clarity. You've got a great voice. Let's hear it more clearly! Gregg Thank a lot Gregg , yes a couple of people have mentioned the same thing to me RE the reverb I use! Might have to ease back on it a tad for future recordings. Thx again for your comments and advice. Dave Ps ,I gave up the cigarettes a couple of years ago.

Id like to put my hand up for lead vocals for Dont Worry Baby and In My Room if that's ok. Also I'd be more than happy to tackle any of the other lead parts if they are required ,as well as harmonies. Absolutely! One thing on DWB.. I mentioned earlier in the thread, but SurferGirl7 volunteered to sing and I think it would be cool to have her sing on the chorus (since it's basically quoting the girl). Perhaps a harmony duet? Maybe dmc could do the verses (which are sung from Brian's perspective) and SG7 could do the choruses (which are sung from Brian's girlfriend's perspective) I think that's the way to go.. should sound very very cool. I was thinking we could do the same kinda thing with Somewhere Near Japan, except I then realized that pretty much the whole song is from the girl's perspective Sounds perfect!

The highlight of the night for me was Dave Grohls acceptance speech in which he he talked about music coming from the heart and the mind without being tainted or touched up by computers.
It was less about "evil computers" and more about playing from your heart. I think Dave's main point was to highlight (amongst other things) pitch correction and that its OK too not sing every-note pitch perfect. It was a dig at contemporary recording techniques, so actually it was ALL about the Evil computers.

And did you notice the house band cut him off? He offended most of the current music makers! lol Yeah and a few of the guests in the audience looked a little nonplussed as well.

The Boys Boys were reasonably good but i could hardly hear Mikes vocals even when he was singing lead let alone the harmonies.

i'm in the same boat as Dave--work is crazy busy and my wife and i are expecting our first little one any week now ( )... BUT i'm actually kinda intrigued by the idea of an international smileysmile-based e-collaboration. one of us could do a backing track.. Dave records the Brian/Al parts, i do the Bruce/Carl ones, Mike does the Dennis/Mike ones.. i'd be happy to piece it all together. not a bad thought... It would be interesting to record something with a mix of our voices and another person doing the backing track, because , quite frankly I'm sick of hearing my own voice all the time lol. Also my daughter is starting school next week so I might have bit more time on my hands I'd be happy to provide the top two vocals for any kind of BB's cover. California Girls is another song Im thinking of tackling. Any other ideas for an initial BBs song? (BTW good luck with the new bub Egon)
