  • Yet again I have decided to do another Nevermore song to pay homage to their triumphant return! Fingers crossed for phase 2.

      @burieddreamer Thank you brother! Sometimes I do question and have to take quick glances I won't lie. I grew up on Nevermore though 10000% and know most songs by heart haha but thank you my friend! Fingers crossed!

      Yes, he did. That's why it's hard to nail. I would always ask him of the many times I spoke with him before a show if he could put white rabbit in the set list he would always laugh and say he doesn't have the required drugs for that😂😂 fuck I miss that dude😢

    The fact you do other kind of vocals, fits perfectly with Nevermore's requests. Best of luck for you!

    • @MikeZillaGuitarGuy88
      @MikeZillaGuitarGuy88  Месяц назад

      @Skeletal33 The videos I'm going to be sending off privately are more my take. But form what I gathered, I don't think they were primarily talking about his vocal style at all to be honest but more so everything in-between. Staying true to the nevermore tone and sound definitely implies similar style... It's weird singing these songs in a different way. I've always sang to these songs with WD's techniques, and it's just weird otherwise. Like the power metal vocals I've seen. They're good, just... awkward. I don't think I'll get it anyway though. I'm currently active duty military, don't have the long hair anymore, and have a mortgage and family that needs to be provided for so I'm just having fun. Who knows. I appreciate all you said 100% man.

      At first, I felt that for these videos to showcase that I can indeed do his techniques with respect to him, I didn't want to overstep. However... I am considering uploading a version of these videos with my twist and or style on them. All in all, it's a little Grey with what's too far and what's not. Growls? Vocal fry? Power metal? I can do these techniques, however... I felt fans really want to know if Fane can be honored (not replaced)
