Cruznolfart Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Milod mentioned in an earlier post that he'd be having some dentures before long and it reminded me of something I've wondered about for some time. The time will come when I will have to do the same thing and I've always wondered what, if any, effect it might have upon my singing. Any picker/singers in here that have that experience? I guess I could do the Richie Havens thing and just leave 'em out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVOL! Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 John Frusciante has dentures (as a result of drug use in the 90s) and he sings fine. I do see some drooling during live performances, but so what. If you look on YouTube for live performances from when he first came back from the dead and was doing shows for his To Record Water album, it sounds like he has some cotton balls in his mouth. Now everything sounds normal. Maybe there is an adjustment period? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockin365 Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Yeah I got that to look forward too pretty soon as well, Good job I dont sing to much!

grampa Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 It's not a problem unless your singing tends toward the screaming heavy metal sort of stuff. That could knock them loose. I've noticed that Richie Havens sings with teeth these days and seems to do it without any problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichCI Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 For the best tone, be sure to get vintage dentures. George Washington got his incredible tone because his were made from solid wood and weren't weight relieved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mick Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 nope Eye wasn't smoking just had allergies and was mouth breathing while sleeping. They didn't do anything Eye just had to suffer through it and let it heal. Eye would sleep with a wet wash cloth over my mouth and a humidifier in my room after that.

It'll be somewhere in the $5K neighborhood when done, which isn't terrible for teeth if they work. I spent a damn sight more than that trying to save 'em.

Nope, I'm a classic Rock and Blues kinda guy but I was wondering about lisping, whistling, sibilance...and, I suppose, coming loose. Interesting to hear about Havens...I wonder what predicated his change of habit. Been quite a long time since I've seen him live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, there are probably more than a few acquaintances who expected it of me long ago. Doesn't sound like it's going to be anything insurmountable.
