When those two guys I had just met were here some other friends of ours who were listening to us play asked us to play a song that they might know. The drummer was taking a cigarette break so me and the guitar playing singer guy did this song. I thought his voice sounds really great.
That wasn't the worst rendition I've ever heard. Hell, it's not even in the worst three versions I've ever heard. The timing was different and his vocals aren't terrible. He has some potential as a singer.
Every band does a cover of this song. Well, every bar band does a cover of this song - even if you're a classic rock band.
It's squarely on the list of shit I'm not interested in playing, kinda like anything from Bon Jovi - especially Wanted Dead Or Alive...
He sings way better than me
He's got some vocal potential. I'm not a great vocalist (by my standards), but I recognize good vocals.
He sounds relatively untrained, like all he's really done is take some lessons in school for chorus and maybe done a lot of singing for their own benefit. I could be wrong, of course. But, he's got potential. It's never too late to take a few lessons to learn about breathing and projection.
His voice sounds like something I'd call a 'natural voice'. Those are people who have a good voice and can use it well enough. If they took legitimate lessons and worked at it, they'd be great vocalists.
In my case, I'm not a good vocalist but I've learned from some great vocalists. Plus, I have a whole lot of practice! I do my best when I'm not singing like myself, but when I'm attempting to mimic another vocalist. I'm told I'm excellent at sounding like someone else, but I've worked with brilliant vocalists.
