Tom Waits on a bad day...

Dear god... that brought back memories. I was a fan when they were new. Hell, I had the album BEFORE Appettite for Destruction. Don't ask me what it was though as I've lost my collection and it's been WAY too many years and FAR too many drugs since I've even heard a GNR song.

I went to a concert they held here in '93 at Calder Raceway... man it was awful... they had Skid Row playing beforehand, ewwww! After waiting like six hours for them to show up, through literally rain, hail, duststorms and blistering heat, they were late, played for half an hour (really badly too) on a stage so far away I couldn't even see them on the MONITORS and then pissed off in their helicopter. After that experience, I pretty much lost interest in them.

I kinda miss their music though. I wonder if I could pick up their CD's in a $2 bin...

I saw them live when they toured with metallica and faith no more. That was a kickin concert.

However, somthing really strange happened afterward.

I WENT TO SCHOOL WITH DUFF.

Duff it seems needed a business degree. His father had gone to the school I had been attending (Seattle University). I had just changed majors and was looking at 3 more years of college. Then I hear a rumor, Mike duff mcKeegan was a frosh or somthing. I wouldn't have believed it had I not seen some of his mail go out to his house while working in the mailroom.

So I now when I hear GNR on the radio, I can say "Hey turn it up, I went to college with the bass player!"

For the record I sound like Eddie Vedder or Jim Morrison. I can also do a damned good elvis. I can do a bad Tom Waits. My voice works best with country though, and thats not so bad. Lots of country is pretty cool. I like to do rap songs redone as country and country versions of rap songs.

I like big butts and you can not lie,
you other fellers cant deee ny etcetcetc

Tom Waits on a bad day...

I can do a reasonable Tom Waits. For about four or five minutes, and then I can hardly speak for an hour. My partner occasionally attempts to do a Tom Waits impersonation, which is hilarious - she sounds *just* like Marge Simpson! (Her Kate Bush impersonation is slightly more convincing.)

Unfortunately, my "unforced" voice is a baritone of the sort suitable for light opera, which is definitely NOT the sort of thing I want to be singing, dammit.

Kim Hyun Sik - A Korean singer I've managed to do a passing job of when sitting in many a nore-bang (basically a privte karaoke booth for 2 to 4 people ) in the early 90s.

My normal singing voice is sort of like a Paul Simon wannabe, but I can do a pretty good Willie Nelson and have even been known to pull off a Patsy Cline after sufficient inebriation.

I sing like... well, me, really.

I've been singing for 20+ years in choirs. I'm currently rehearsing with the Ballarat Choral Society as a tenor - some Samuel Barber, John Tavener, William Byrd and a few other pieces.

I'm really a high baritone, but as normal for small choirs, I have to sing tenor because of a lack of other suitable voices.

Cheers!
