Hair of the dog that bit ya!

Bump'd. I'm not completely drunk but I've had a couple since it's Friday and all. Anyway, along sipping some I got this urge to sing...and then an urge to record it... I hope this isn't too bad? I already posted these on my Facebook wall. The other one got one like and one comment, the other one nothing so far. Please don't think me as a wannabe or anything, just tell me if it's horrible. Then I'll know to end my rising singing ambitions right from the start. Or not, if it's not completely crap.

I want your honest opinion fellow GOGers! My voice is pretty deep, so I'm aware I'm probably singing an octave lower than I should. Thrash it or praise it, anything helps.

You've got a nice voice man, waay better than I had expected since this is the drunk thread :p
It sounded a bit shaky at times in 'Easy like sunday morning', but maybe that was because you were singing so low and it's hard to get power in the voice when your singing in that range.. I think, at least, I'm in no way a vocalist, just my thoughts.
Just out of interest, what microphone did you use to record that?

Well I think the shakiness came when you went quite high at around 0:32, there was no problem hitting the notes and staying there before that. Maybe that would be a good place to start, trying to sing a bit higher. I have a friend who always, without exception, no matter how deep the original vocals are, ALWAYS sings an octave below. It doesn't sound horrible, but it seems like a trick, like it's easier to sing lower.
Do you like Alice in Chains? It feels like your voice could work well with that music. And also, not related to Alice in Chains, but your english is very good, you sound like a native english speaker.
Anyway, I'm guessing you did this because you get that urge to sing, when you hear music you like, and that's always good, even if people would say that you can't sing for s**t, sing if it makes you happy :)
And since you made me post in the drunk thread while being sober, I feel obligated to get a beer now :p

I get your point. I find it's much easier for me to sing an octave lower than I should, too. My range is nothing to write home about, so if there's just one note in the song that I find hard to reach, then it's no-no all the way for me and I find myself just singing the whole thing lower than I oughta. But, I guess I just got to train more and hope that I can expand my range eventually. Although I guess my unhealthy habits don't help there...:P

I do know Alice In Chains, it's not like it's my favorite band or something I listen to regularly, but they do have a couple of songs that I really do like. Although I reckon their songs are quite hard to sing though, even harder than that early, or semi-early Patton I did. I think I got to check this out, nevertheless.

And about my english, I guess I just picked it up in the songs, like I did with the notes. I really can't speak it fluently, trust me, but here it helped because I could try and memorize the words/pronunciation and thus mimic the whole vocal track to the best of my abilities :) But thanks anyway. And yes, I do like to sing, I often do when I'm at home and feeling happier than usual. Really lifts up the current mood even more :)

Let's RAAAGGE!!!!

I'll help! Glass of scotch it is then!

Haha, wish I could join you, unfortunately I haven't stocked up on scotch yet, so it's just beer for me tonight. It's probably for the best since I've got work in the morning.
But since you reminded me, I think I'm gonna get someone to pick up a bottle of scotch for me tomorrow.
Perhaps a nice 12 year old Ardbeg would be in order.. hmm yes that sounds about right.

Ardbeg would be nice, I was drinking Abelour. Right now drinking some Widmere Omission Lager.

Haven't tried either of those, unfortunately they've got pretty small selection here.. and that Ardbeg is probably going to cost me around 100$ X(
Wish I had someone in the family who traveled a lot so I could stock up properly.

Assuming liquor isn't insanely priced over there I can get a 750ml of Aberlour (sorry, spelled it wrong in the last post) for 40 USD, I bet you can get the same bottle for less than 100 over there. My state is known for high taxes on liquor so it's probably less in other states. It has a lot of the qualities of a more expensive 12 year, single malt, so I'd recommend trying it. I know TeT has expressed his love for it on at least one occasion as well, and TeT possesses both a cool hat and much wisdom:)

I don't have the willpower to write about it right now, but alcohol laws and taxes are beyond ludicrous in this country, mostly due to religious people in high positions, and I guarantee you I can't get a single malt whiskey for less than 60$, but I'll keep an eye out for that Aberlour.
But anyway, going to bed, only a few hours until I have to work, enjoy your scotch :)

Herro >_>
