Default Just listened to the acoustic Mayonaise from Still Becoming Apart...

It's like an entirely different singer.

How the fuck did Bill go from this to whatever the fuck he's doing now and think it was an improvement.

Kinda sad really. Nothing more to add.

The real Billy died years and years ago and was replaced with a lookalike, Billy Shears.

The Billy you guys are dreaming about, the one who rawked, never really existed.

Siamese Dreams, Pisces, MCIS, and TAFH were all written and recorded by BORIS.

Didn't he take lessons before Adore? His singing on Adore is still good, though. Expressive and emotional, even though he was no longer doing the MCIS squeals that probably threatened to destroy his vocal cords forever.

In terms of his singing, there is a major change in his voice/vocal style/approach pre and post Chloe. That’s when things changed. Maybe SHE prefers his singing now and that’s why he changed? She’s the Yoko of the smashing pumpkins. Prove me wrong.

In the Adore documentary, he mentions that all he has left to work on as a musician is his singing and piano playing. It’s also been documented that it was around that time that he took on a vocal coach. Because the lessons were so new at that time, Adore ends up having his best vocals of his career because the only guidance only affected his approach by way of early tweaks.

Now, he can’t seem to shake that terrible vibrato. It’s like a bad tick. And it really ruins a lot of what could be amazing stuff.

This version is actually the same one as the album version, except it only has the acoustic guitar and vocal tracks playing. It's most noticeable at the "mother weep the years I'm missing" bit, which is basically identical to the album version.

Jiminy Christmas, Fool! What I was saying was that there wasnt a difference in his voice until Chloe came into the picture. THEN it changed. She must be a big vibrato dropped consonants fan.
