Hey everybody welcome back again to Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy where the proof is
in the singing. I keep getting asked over and over again
Ken how can I get your singing course. Simple just go to Ken Tamplin Vocal
Academy.com and it'll take you right to the course. So that's how we negotiate
and how I share with you and walk you through step by step how to get into all
of these different styles, range, pitch, tone, control, stamina. How to keep your
voice from cracking or getting dry and thrashed and I negotiate all that stuff.
So and stop by my free singing forums too so if you're just getting your feet
wet you're not ready to buy the course or something and you just want to know
more about it you can go either all the video tutorials I have on YouTube or
stop by my singing forums it has thousands of singers in there and let
them speak to you and tell you what it's done for them. So with that said I want
to do KISS "I Was Made For Lovin' You". It looks like it's live at Dodgers Stadium
and 1998 according to this. Haven't seen it so let's do this together. Here we go.
That's a really odd way to start a song. Some people
didn't like it. Some people this that whatever but when you hear it live like
is the recording not good enough. I don't know weird but a lot of people
do like the song that's why I'm doing it because I got this by request. So I do
this by request so if you guys have requests you know put them in the subject
or not subject. Put it in the comment section and I'll do my best to
get to it so here we go.
Look at those boots.
Those outfits look like something straight out of Ziggy Stardust. A lot of
these bands in the early 70s and through the 70s there was a lot of kind
of like Rocky Horror band picture show stuff and so there were quite a few
bands that dressed like this and if you go back and see some of those bands that
were around at that time some of the glam bands. So KISS sort of took
that to yet another level and and by the way this this song so that we're clear on
this, I don't know exactly when it was written but I know that the melody of
this and I want you to check me out on this (sings)
right. Go to blondie "Call Me" (sings)
and the only real differences is (sings). Is the syllable you know an extra syllable
in Blondie and at the very end (sings) rather than (sings) right so check me out
the melody's are like the same. So anyway I thought I point that out
because eh good composers borrow and great composers steal I hear. So let's go.
Nice stage.
Now I want to say another thing. Again KISS has been around a long time and
has just performed amazingly over the years so. I know Paul Stanley has had
some pretty severe vocal trouble here recently. I also heard he had a surgery,
I'm not sure how his voice is doing now. You guys can put that in the comment
sections let me know. I haven't seen them since his surgery.
So I pray that he's doing better. Now for all you others that are out there that
know, I actually did get a chance to write some songs for KISS.
They had one song placed on one of the records actually a couple songs on not
only the KISS album but also Gene's the Vault. So I have a connection to the band
and I've seen them work very very very hard.
Tommy Thayer is actually a great guy worked with him also with one of my
artists Gabriela Guncikova on a project that he had and just a
hard-working dude and really great straight-up quality businessman which is
a hard to find in this music industry. So Tommy Thayer two thumbs straight up and KISS
just overall has just been an iconic band over the years. So I thought I'd bring
that up, here we go.
Killer stage man.
And he's going into falsetto there so you can actually already hear him you
know struggling a little bit with his voice. Now I saw an interview from
Gene recently and let's remember these guys are getting up in their years now.
This is a while ago so this is 98 but then there's 2008 and then
2018 so this 20 years ago but these guys have continued to do
this for another 20 plus years and I heard Gene say that I think that the outfit
he wears including the boots and everything is like 50 pounds or
something. So imagine straddling 50 pounds of I don't know potato sacks on
you, whatever you want and then going out and playing like that
and playing hard and sweating and this that whatever at that age even still.
That's pretty dang cool. It's pretty pretty tough and a lot of stamina to be
able to do that. So I wanted to mention that as well in addition to the makeup. I
mean there's probably 50 pounds of makeup there too. No I'm kidding anyway let's go.
Combine that with the bass guitar
Ew Gene come on.
You know I've never understood that.. you guys know that guitar is my first
instrument right and so I'm a pretty accomplished guitar player, in fact if
you want just kind of look anything up that I've done.
Check out my Wake The Nation's album which includes everybody from Doug
Aldridge to gosh
Richie Kotzen's on there, Kee Marcello's on there.
Jeff Watson from Night Rangers' on there and I'm trading licks with a lot of guys.
So guitar's my first instrument is my point. Stop bragging Ken. Sorry about that. Just
pointing out that guitar was my first instrument. Did I say that. Guitar is my
first instrument but anyway I've never understood having all of those rings and
things on your hands when you're playing because they're just so distracting and
I guess gosh I can't imagine being able to have really good fluidity and good
dexterity wearing all the ornamental things all over your person. Now there is
one time I figured something out for all you guitar players out there because we
used to do a lot of shows throughout Europe for example. Some were in
winter time outdoor festivals and your hands get freezing cold. So I designed
something really cool and that is to take latex gloves
the real thin ones put them on your hands and cut off the fingertips. In fact
I showed this to Lemmy from Motorhead and he was so stoked he started doing it
way back in the day but anyway so you put those on and it keeps in the hand..
hands stay warm. Now you have to practice with it that way because they do have
pull and tension on your fingers when you go to do it but anyway it keeps your
hands warm and you can actually play pretty normal once you practice with a
little bit in your hands stay nice and warm because of the latex. So a little
bit of a hint there for you guys and let's continue here we go.
That's cool.
I wouldn't want to be anywhere as near those things when they're going off.
Nice.
Cool. They sounded good man. Sounded good. So again I know Paul's suffered some
vocal stuff but anyway if you guys liked what you heard please like and subscribe
