Hey guys welcome back again to Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy where the proof is
in the singing. I want to do a vocal coach reacts to
Styx because man Tommy Shaw, Dennis DeYoung the whole band has just really
been a huge influence in my life, older stuff I know but hang in there
with me because I promise if you like dig into this stuff it's gonna matter to
you too, i you like what I do. And why this is important... I saw this band I'm
gonna say at least a half a dozen times over the years and every single, solitary
time I saw them they were a killer, I mean killer like Heart, I've seen them
a bunch of times like every time I saw them, it was like wow like as good if not
better than the original. So we're gonna dive in "Blue Collar Man", let's do it. Here
we go. Check it out.
That's where the whole band sings, it's like the Eagles right, everyone sings.
Everyone's got it in, there's no tracks going on. I'm beating the tracks thing up
dude guys, these guys no tracks, the whole bands singing. Everything is live, it's killer.
You know (sings). He's like, good placement in his throat, everything
is really really great. The other thing too is is that the musicianship is at
super, top level like wow, you know let's continue but I'm gonna, I'll make more
comments hold on.
Good energy man.
Rock star great.
Good stuff man.
Makes me wanna perform, makes me want to sing, makes me want to get out there and
just freaking do this man straight-up I'm not kidding.
His pitch is great man.
Good stuff.
So he's not only a great singer, he's a killer guitar player, like guitar was my
first instrument so I kind of came in from the other angle, I don't know his
story backstory but mine is, is that man I was a guitar player and then you know
I.. I didn't want to like wait on the singer so I learned how to sing, same
thing with him, you know I don't know if it's the same thing with him but for me
oh my gosh you know this guy is just like.. every everybody in the band Dennis
DeYoung all these guys are so awesome. Everybody's awesome. Let's continue, here
we go.
Running around, playing guitar like that.
The energy here is incredible guys, I'm telling you. These are old men, we're old
men I'm an old man what whatever so these, this is crazy. These guys are
throwing down, harder than 20 year olds that can't really seem to save their
life and they're just killing it, I mean killing it and they do this night after
night after night after night, it keeps him alive man.
Music is life, it's interesting, here we go.
Wow. Holy cow.
What the heck.
These are not twenty-year-olds, these are like.. probably in their 60s by now. They're
throwing down this hard guys. Oh my gosh, get a load of this. Holy cow so there's,
alright um I got a chance to be in a lot of different countries and one of them
was Argentina. I don't know the whole story, I'll try to look it up for you
guys whatever but my son played a lot of soccer and so he played for
Aldosivi, in the south of Argentina not the team but like their primavera division,
like you know you got to train with them basically and here's a story. So it's
kind of interesting. So it's called leaving it all on the field, leaving it
all on the field. So what was interesting is that um I heard a
story and I'll look it up, I'll try to find the reference Bob please - he's the guy
that helps me with like my descriptions and stuff, so anyway so we're.. entire
stadium left their shoes on the stadium, they left them all and they really
couldn't afford, it they weren't like really wealthy where I can leave my
shoes and walk off. No they were so disappointed in their team where they
left it all in the field.. their shoes because the team didn't leave it all on
the field and I'm like these guys are leaving it all on the field. It's like
crazy great. Can we do this again, I'm not kidding, can we like you know dig
in in a way where we're just like freaking out, this is great, they're one...
I'm gonna back this up one second - just before the whole end here check it out.
Watch this.
Dang.
One song not ten songs, not 15 songs one song.
Sorry I was gonna stop it.
No.
That's Dennis DeYoung he's .. wrote "I'm Sailing Away".
It's great.
That was not the closing song.
Okay guys guys I could do this all day
long, the.. this is just, this is how music happened, it's how it explodes, how we get
inspired to do stuff you know. We want to be great.
I'm just saying, they inspired me in a big time way, look at this concert. I'll
try to post that in the description as well but I want you guys to go oh my
gosh you know Ken, how'd you do this, how'd you do that.
I don't know cause I had these guys, all these guys, they helped me so much. I
can't even tell you.. um anyway God bless all you. Proof is in the singing
and until next time, peace out.
