Ohh.... that's how he used to sound.

I believe he does "choose" the way he sings now as it presents little to no effort. That's why there's the drop consonants band whisper time singing: it's easier. It takes no effort to sing that way.

The other way, the old way, he has to use his diaphragm and his stomach muscles to belt it out.

Old way is 1000 times better.

if he didn't have an aversion to any form of exercise he could still use those muscles

old way IS bad for his voice and unsustainable. but who cares, be a rock star. give it till it's gone. it sounds great.
better to burn out than to fade away.

SP2 billy is a pussy.

That's what happened to Liam Gallagher. Roared away with no issues for about 8 years, and then his voice was f**ked and he never got it back.

Check out some live Oasis footage from 2005; at least Billy has never sounded like that!

I'm pretty sure the fact that liam Gallagher is and was a chain smoking alcoholic has a lot more to do with his voice failing, not saying singing couldn't have contributed but the living hard tends to ruin vocalists....oh....just look at....

....at...

...I don't wanna say it...look at axel rose

I would love to hear the soft style, like on Obscured or Whir. That gentle approach.

this pisses me off possibly more than anything, because most of us here don't think he has released much good music in the last 18 years, and we like the band so much we STILL keep following closely and listening to every release

Elphenor · 09-17-2018, 10:42 AM

so weird for him to straight up answer that question

the answer:

"I choose to sound like ass"

Mals Marola · 09-17-2018, 12:00 PM

People were saying Billy "tries too hard" on vocals now. I listened to the first 2 tracks off Zeitgeist the other day and the main thing that struck me was how little effort it sounded like he was putting into the vocals - and what's more, they're damn near completely dry, mixing-wise

Anyway regarding the op, I remember everyone freaking out when As Rome Burns started getting played, on account of it sounded more or less like "old Bill" and was actually kinda aggressive vocally - at least in relation to everything else we were getting from them at the time
