Big Guy 1,400 Posted January 10, 2018 A studio recording is one thing, a live performance is another. Who's your best / favorite screamer? For me it's Ian Gillian of Deep Purple fame. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SUXBNME 1,328 Posted January 10, 2018 He was a shell of his former self. I saw them live in 2000 opening for Iron Maiden and was blown away by how much of the group’s live act depended on pre-recorded high vocals since it was obvious the frontman could not hit those notes anymore. That was an eye-opener. https://meatmeadmetal.wordpress.com/2012/11/07/geoff-tate-completely-humiliates-himself-on-horrific-solo-outing-kings-thieves/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surprised the review didn't just say "Sh1t sandwich". Edit: it's available... listening now Edit: wow it is pretty terrible. I had enough after about 4 songs. Shame as Operation Mindcrime was a great album. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
