Hey guys welcome back again to Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy where the proof is
in the singing. I want to go ahead and do a vocal coach
reacts to Audioslave amazing live debut in New York City and I haven't seen it
yet but apparently they do this on top of the latus just above the Late Show
kind of on the roof so to speak and I don't know if this was planned or not
because it would seem to have to be. I can't imagine you could just set up on a
roof like that but I guess they did shut him down. So anyway we'll just do it
first and we'll talk about it as we go along, here we go.
Slamming.
Now by the way a lot of bands have done this from the Beatles to U2, you name it.
A lot of groups have done rooftop things. People have done you know things on
backs of trucks you know and they're driving through the city and whatnot so this
isn't a new thing but it's very effective. So you immediately they got this
crazy audience boom just like that and this sounds pretty good for being a.. you
know on top of a rooftop like that so but the other thing to kind of you know
tips me off a little bit is there's a lot of camera angles going on here. So I
can't believe that this was just a quick plug-and-play show up on a rooftop and
do something obviously there was a lot of strategic planning that went into
this so.
Good sound.
Love Chris's voice man.
Great song.
What a beast.
One vocal out front just killing it man. It's great.
I guess if you can't be in the Ed Sullivan Theater you might as well be on
top of it right. Nah that's great. So right away Chris's voice is just
killing it. Don't you just love his vocal tone. It's like so unique, so Chris. His
note choices are great, his confidence is awesome, his pitch is awesome, his range
is great, their power is great, band sounds great. It's just killing it.
Great energy man.
Three piece band as far as the instruments.
Now it's kind of like there's a lot of people there. Somehow, some way, someone
had to tip them off that they're.. like correct me guys put in the comment
sections because I don't know anything about this show. So if you guys appease
appease me and graciate me and let me know what what happened here because it
looks like there's a lot of people and they obviously like Chris and you know
maybe singing songs. I can't believe that many passerbyers knew him and cared
that much other than oh gee that's kind of interesting right. So but they're just
killing it. It sounds great so.
Great tone.
What a cool groove huh.
It's amazing that he's singing that in pitch man because I can't imagine that
you know with that quick of a setup even if they did have spent some time on it.
I'm not seeing a lot of wedges and a lot of great monitors. I see some behind the
drummer there you know at like about 3 minutes and 44 seconds in something like
that but I mean overall it's you know I mean just a rooftop thing and he's
just killing it. There's no sharps and flats and bands killing it, no missed
notes. Drummers just crazy energy, slamming it hitting it hard.
Yeah there's some headbangers out there. Someone knew they were coming
All right something else. Here we go. Another one.
This is like a debut for when they first did these tunes. I think these were like brand new at the time so.
What a great way to debut your songs. Wouldn't you love to do with all my
musician friends out there. Hey you know I'm just gonna set up the Ed Sullivan
Theater The Late Night Show. I'm just gonna go ahead and put the Tonight Show Late
Night Show sorry. I'm gonna just set up my band and debut some songs and see
what people think of it right. How cool is that. At least in the case of the Beatles
and U2 they mostly did known stuff. Not new stuff like this that was new at the
time.
Now I want to mention something else. You know Audioslave and other bands that
Chris has been in. You know he came out of the grunge era out of Seattle right
and at the time most all those bands were really a melodic. Nirvana and all
those groups even Pearl Jam to a large extent and they really were anti melody
right. They really were. They were just you know hey let's kind of some
weird chord change to kind of change up something that's kind of never been done
before and let's not get too melodic. So that it didn't sound like melodic rock
or classic rock or you know what was going in 80s metal. There's a big
departure from that and what's interesting about Chris is you know he
had some of those roots and a lot of those players did in those bands too but
you know again you have like I said other bands that sort of had
instrumentation that sounded like Led Zeppelin and whatnot. We could talk about
Stone Temple Pilots and so forth but but for the most part you know they're
really a melodic and Chris came along and he added these really interesting
melodies that kind of dipped a little bit into the the seventh sound and a
melodic you know seventh sound of some of the psychedelic parts of eighties
metal and classic rock and melodic rock but not to where you sniffed it out.
Not to where you smelt it and it was like ah you're an impersonator, you're
really an eighties metal guy or this that and you're trying to do grunge. No
yeah was this is really his in his heart but he also had that influence and was
able to incorporate that and bring it in and you hear that in these these tunes
which i think is awesome. So well probably one of the only guys that
really did that or one a few that actually did that. So it's pretty cool.
Love that tone man.
He makes it so effortless right. Kind of jealous.
See what I mean about the melodies.
Very, very memorable.
Must not have been too cold out that night in New York City with all those.. have your
shirt off. He's got a tanktop on. Must have been some good weather.
Love that scream.
You know something else I really like about Chris is um you know his.. not just his
passion. We talk about passion and we talk about all these different things
like that but his confidence was so cool. You know he didn't have to run around on
stage and manufacture a bunch of energy that was kind of unnecessary like you
know and I am super guilty of this too. I have done a lot of shows I run from one
end of the stage in the next just trying to whatever. He's mesmerizing just
watching him because of his confidence and he just really likes what he does
and he's into it and he's not out to to impress the world necessarily. He's
already doing that with his voice and his you know the songs he's written and
whatnot but he just has a really cool stage vibe about him and a confident
stage presence where you know he's captivating and he's mesmerizing and he
doesn't have to run around all over the place to to get our attention which is
really cool.
Now I wanna point something out about this melody line right here. Now
imagine my guitar player friends out there. You came in (sings)
you know just kind of some lick.You're kinda rambling on,
you're hoping it'll end soon and he goes (sings).
Like he's able to carve out these melodies out of some of this really
obscure kind of melodic stuff or excuse me instrumentation that would be
pretty hard to find a melody in. So for you guys out there that are trying to write
melody you know what I'm talking about. It's not that easy to carve out a melody
out of just some guitar lick like that but Chris is you know just a master at
doing stuff like that so I applaud him on that.
That was awesome. That was super awesome. You know um actually I know there's more to
this. I think they do like "Like A Stone" and I think they even do a "Cochise" or
something. Maybe I can pick that up on the next round of these but anyway guys
if you like what you heard please like and subscribe to my channel. I have a
singing course that we walk through all this stuff step-by-step, how to get to
these different places. I've done some of Chris's stuff. In fact I'll put that in
the description so you can see different songs I've done by Chris and also some
of my students that have done songs by Chris. We'll put that also in the
description so you can see how we stack up and how we've done. So anyway gang and
until next time god bless all of you and peace out.
