surfpup Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Simple... listen to this clip of "Just Got Paid" by my trio and pick which vocal you prefer - or that you prefer the song as it is with alternating vocals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffster Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Just like I said before, second. Also keep in mind that the first vocals sound more "in front" than the second so there is a perceived slightly better mix on the second vocals from the get go.

I appreciate you voting. I realize I am sticking my neck out here (on purpose) by not saying who is who. Just kinda want to see how it turns out. Then I'll let my bass player know whether the masses think he or I should sing the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketman Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Both sound fine with me, but I'm going to go with the second for all the reasons mentioned here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riverside Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 The 2d guy seems to be a little more attuned to the song - I hope I can say that without disrespect to the first guy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riverside Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 ..but the first guy also seemed just a little out-of-tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bill Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 First vocal sounds great, but the second is just a bit better. From all the songs you have shared, I can honestly state you guys rock. I can hear the confidence in the playing, this is what makes you guys a great power trio. I have always felt that a good power trio requires a strong bass, your bass player has the balls to get it done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilliangirl Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I like the second voice for this particular song. Kudos to the singers... wish I could sing. But for this song it needs a grittier bad a$$ sound so the second guy has that going on it his voice moreso than the first guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saturn Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 This is tough, because I like the first guys voice but the second guys delivery, if that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote'] It does make sense. Really each guy gets to sing a fair amount, and we can usually tell which voice will be best. Sometimes it comes down to range. Overall it's nice to have two different voices. On this song we can't seem to decide however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surfpup Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 Who is Singer A and who is Singer B? One is me and one is my bass player. Trying to avoid revealing who's who so the voting will be unbiased. I'll come clean after everyone has a chance to vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saturn Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 The more I listen to it, it reminds me of Blackfoot doing ZZ Top They both (singers) sound good. I kind of like the shared effect. Maybe you should keep it like that for this song. Like Bruce and Clapton taking turns on Sunshine of Your Love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie (Hargrett) is one of the nicest guys you could know. He still rips too! I put the shared vocal as an option on the poll for just that reason. Though it isn't getting any votes yet.

I kind of like the shared effect. Maybe you should keep it like that for this song. Like Bruce and Clapton taking turns on Sunshine of Your Love. The Band's The Weight had "shared" vocals, that worked well.. First voice brought old Fleetwood Mac (song callec Oh Well) to mind.. Second voice was "cleaner". Contrast between the 2 was kinda' like the difference between Tom Waits (dark/raspy) and Bruce Springsteen ("cleaner"--:- --) versions of Jersey Girl. Both very good just different. If you guys can't make up your minds let your drummer do it.:- . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
