      A Voice Coach, voice instructor can teach you how to harness the power, control your voice, and take care of what you have so you don’t blow out your VC.

      The emotion and soul of music is what popular music nowadays is missing. Everything is formulaic copy cat ear garbage that while it sounds perfect, lacks any soul. Robert Plant from Zeppelin messed up multiple times playing guitar solos on their albums and it makes the songs more passionate and real. I can listen to the majority of pop and country songs and be able to predict what's gonna come next. I want to be surprised when I listen to a band or an artist.

      That's an accurate assessment. James has the perfect voice for the music they make. No one has ever accused him of being a ground-breaking vocalist. What he does (James: rhythm guitar and vocals) probably can't be matched, and that's why Layne Staley seldom played guitar in the band (Alice, not Metallica, obvious!) He needed to save his lungs for "the good stuff."

    Hitting that note, vs hitting with power like Layne did, are two very different things. In addition, you’ve got to sing the entire song - not just one go at the chorus. To put this in perspective, you’d sing through the entirety of several other songs first as he would have had to in a live situation. THEN you can say “I just did it”.
    I’d be willing to bet that even singing (at full intensity as he did) through Love Hate Love then Man in the Box (and sounding good doing it) would be enough to humble anyone who doesn’t truly appreciate his range. It really wasn’t just about Layne’s range though. It was about the intensity, how good it sounded, and how acrobatic his runs were simultaneously.

      Man In The Box isn't even his hardest part. If you can belt at high tenor, you can probs get this one, but he has higher and harder and more technical songs to get through first. Complex blues runs, high 5th harmonies, and full-throat air-raid wailing. And then if someone really wants to say they can do what Layne did, they also have to do all of this with a fatal heroin addiction. Yeah, this dude was one of a kind.

    Honestly there's tons of vocalists that can hit high note like that powerfully and they're not all pros or famous musicians. This isn't what made Layne a legend. It's how honest his craft was. How raw his performances and how unique his voice was. Not to mention how creative he was. He had original ideas for singing. Range and music theory is not what makes someone great.

    Yeah, there will never be another Layne! Truly one of a kind 🎵🎤 My opinion only, as follows: "I feel his strongest vocal performance was when he took the stage @ Live at the Moore". He had something very special about him that many didn't, it was his ability to feel his pain through his singing. However, I absolutely loved him with Mad Season & for many reasons. I think Mad Season really showed his souful and bluesy side which was so smooth and incredible. Although him & Jerry did have some of the best harmonizing vocals ever. I'd say with Mad Season his vocals were the lead & focal point and he shined like a diamond. I remember when he was jamming with em' and he was playing the guitar too, he looked at me almost like a kid in a candy store" you could see that he was having fun enjoying it but at the same time almost like he was surprised that he was getting to play too." I thought that was the coolest. ☺️ Chris Cornell did an incredible job when he honored him by singing his parts at the Mad Season celebration. Cornell is without a doubt, another power house vocalist!
