billy deliberately switching from his regular voice into "the voice"
you know. the one that is often described as being "nasally". it almost reached the point of self parody around machina. i sometimes wonder why he would switch to another really unappealing vocal style, between gish and siamese dream. just seems like a weird artistic decision to make.

Yeah that was a big, big barrier to overcome when I was getting into SP. Most people can't get over his voice on the band's popular songs, but sheeeesh, it's nothing compared to Machina.

What's a good 93 or 94 show where Billy sings nice and doesn't just scream no matter what song it is?

I think Metro '93 record release is pretty strong vocally.

I completely disagree. He doesn't sing perfect the whole show, but then again, I don't think he ever has. There are a handful of songs were he sounds perfectly fine in that performance.

I love the super nasal Machina vocals
Vocals had a different style but were great on every SP album up until ZG |

it sucks cock partly due to him not singing the way he did 20 years ago

I'm listening to Tiberius right now and his singing is fine. The problem is more the way he's been mixing his vocals since Zeitgeist; with a honky mid-range eq. Scoop out his vocals and he's half way to classic Corg.

I think he deliberately parodied himself on Rock On... you know the part where he sings "where do we go from here, which is the way that's clear". I always thought that was pretty cool :-)

Nah both things contribute heavily to why he has sounded like shit over the last decade, but his singing is not good. Everything these days is delivered in this horrible, tinny, deadpan drone. He's totally lost the ability to be an emotive singer or do anything interesting with his voice at all. The one thing I can say is that live Zeitgeist-era was the worst and he has slowly been working out a lot of the obnoxious affectations he put on incessantly during that time period. Now his singing is just numbingly boring and hollow, but he has learned to pronounce consonants again.

I like his weird nasally voice. I dunno, I usually like strange vocalists.
What the fuck is with his SP2 voice, though? He sings like he has a wah pedal in his mouth these days. He went from "nnggaaaaahhh!" to "owh wah wha ya owh." |

His SP2 voice with the false-vibrato is the most annoying thing ever

The albums would be a thousand times better if he sang like he used to. I love his screech. The "nIIIIIIIIIghtmare rides on" is one of my favorite vocal lines ever.

some people have said before that age plays a part in his shitty new voice he uses for SP2, but when he was singing with Manson a little while ago he sang like he did in the late-Adore/Machina era. he's perfectly capable of using that voice, but he just chooses not to.

He could've put the full Brixton show on the MCIS reissue, but he just chooses not to

Remember how much everybody hated Billy's vocals on the studio "Wound"? I actually liked the shrill desperation in his voice there; I think it adds something.
