Is Matt lazy live with his vocals?

Continuing purely on this topic:

A recent survey found no matter how hard you pull the handle, a really big turd will never flush...

Are you high constantly or is it just normal for you to talk wank all the time?

No it isn't. What he says is true about singing in general, but it has nothing to do with the notes we're discussing since the B4s aren't sliding notes.

Just saying.

Well it's kinda irrelevant to whether he's lazy or not, right?

[Lauren.]

Yeah, a bit.

are you ignoring the "e.g."? It was an example.
Just try to sing some songs and compare the same notes in different contexts. You will realize it can be totally different difficulty wise.
Just compare for example queen's bohemian rhapsody studio with its live version(the beginning):

the "now i got to throw it all away" part he NEVER sang in falsetto/head voice live, which he did on the studio recording. Thats just one of many examples. Like Dont stop me now, im hearing a recording from 1979 right now and he doesnt sing a high chest voice part he did just one year ago on the studio version. He never did that in any of the recordings i listened to.

That could quite easily be down to stylistic choice though. Also, those notes were probably hard for Freddie - we have discussed that Matt doesn't sing high notes during songs (again, the Resistance example can be used) but then blasts out much harder notes when the song is finished.

Basically - Freddie couldn't do it or preferred it that way, Matt's either lazy, scared or stupid.

Oh, and it's "Now I've gone and thrown it all away" by the way.

But if the example doesn't relate to your point, why bring it up?

What exactly are you suggesting that the difference is in the context? Obviously high notes are harder if they come straight after a breathtaking or just generally hard section, or if it's a song that forces you to change between different singing styles/modes quickly(for example Take A Bow)

But what is it about Resistance that makes it a hard context to reach a G4 in? And if what you said wasn't about Resistance, what WAS it about?

people claimed that if matt sings a B4(or what ever note it was about) in between songs he can do it in (any) song and is just lazy.
Which is a conclusion thats not necessarily true.
I mentioned Freddy Mercury to show that even with superior singing technique people tend to do less live(at least if they are touring alot).

You did not do what i suggested you to do. Sing some songs that contain the same note in different contexts and look if its always the same difficulty.
I can tell you that its not and without perfect singing techniques matthew might sometimes strain his voice too much if he does sing some of those high chest notes live.

@Electricmuser96

thanks for clearing up the lyrics im not good at hearing them properly

The last note of Resistance is a belt. The B4s after songs are higher and harder belts. He does the harder one that isn't even necessary or in the song. Logic? None.

can you give me a link to a live recording where he does that? i read the last few sites and people talked about that but i didnt see a link there. And i watched a live video from glastonbury 2010 and he sings the song as he does in the record(as far as i remember).

That it isn't necessarily true doesn't mean that it isn't true You clearly haven't even heard any of the B4s in question.

And you obviously didn't read or understand any of the things I just said, so I'll repeat it for you, and explain.

What exactly are you suggesting that the difference is in the context? Obviously high notes are harder if they come straight after a breathtaking or just generally hard section, or if it's a song that forces you to change between different singing styles/modes quickly(for example Take A Bow)

What makes the G4s in Take A Bow so much harder than the G4s in Resistance is, as you say, the context. Simply because of how much and how fast he has to change mode. That song has a lot of different approaches for high notes, which is why Matt fails so often on notes that he does easily in other songs like Plug In Baby and Uprising.

This does in no way change the fact that he has no reason for avoiding the G4 in Resistance.

And that he sings the G4 in ONE performance doesn't really matter.

give me a link then.
or tell me where roughly i nthis thread i can find one on the last dunno 5 pages there is none(or my search skills are bad).
Its not only how much and fast you have to change modes. It depends on what vocals you are singing, what sound is intended for the notes in question how you are sliding and i believe even more points, but these are the ones coming up right now.
Do not get me wrong im not saying its definatly the case, im just think about what COULD be a different reason for those habits.
Personally i believe he just doesnt want to mess up in front of a gigantic mass..

thank you for the links will listen to them now

edit:
as i said the context.
the stuff he does in those videos is out of a song context. As i said this could be the reason for him not doing it during a song.
I myself could do what he does after the songs in those videos but wouldnt do it during a song because it would tire my voice in almost any case.

This is exactly what changing mode means...

Changing modes=changing the way you sing, how you approach a note. That includes changing the sound that is intended for the note...

Yes it is.

And you know, we're not demanding that he belts A4s constantly
