lightning bolt whats wrong with eddie vedder's voice

AM58071

I really hope eddie gets his vocals fixed so he can sound good album wise cause this last album his voice jumps a lot and also hope for the tour he can sound like he did back in 2003 that would be great, I would definitely be the happiest person in the world, DOES ANYONE NOTICE A LACK OF HIS VOICE TREMBLING on swallowed whole, yellow moon, lightning bolt, infallible, listen to it and you will notice it, in the 2012 ft Lauderdale solo tour eddie sounded like 2003 eddie but what happened someone explain it?

As for this post in general, I'm not sure why I even clicked on it. Eddie has been singing like an animal for 23 YEARS. Try singing like he did for the first couple albums and tours and see if you can keep that up until you're in your late 40's.

The dude is still getting it done, and doing it with more feeling and soul than ever.

OP, you are giving my avatar a bad name?

3 questions for the OP:

1. What is your name?
2. What is your favorite color?
3. What is the air speed velocity of a swallow flying south for the winter while holding a coconut?

5. why is your punctuation so bad i mean it should be better and make sense right it would be so much easier for us to read i cant wait for you to use proper sentences cuz your obviously not done typing on this thread you created its something that you really feel is a thing to talk about to all of us i hope we dont have to see this much longer goodluck out there
6. If this isn't Jeff or Stone or Boom (It would be funny) and is some random dude, then homie... G.... Pickle Fucker... you cray. Yo Mind Is Gone buh bye.

Eddie Vedder - A Professional Musician

OP - Not a Professional (insert word here)

What's wrong with Eddie Vedder's voice? Nothing.

What's wrong with your questioning his ability to sing? Everything.

It's called emotional connection to the song's lyrics, music, etc. Get over it and enjoy it while it lasts.

Even better, let's just get a newer, younger version of Eddie, call it the EdVed 5c!

It'll be just like that movie Rock Star!

As you get older as a vocalist, your voice changes. Period. Wear & tear + biology. It happens to everyone. He's not 25 anymore. He's definitely grown into his new voice, IMO.

haha and a little alcohol gives him a nice and a bit rough voice
Also that trembling, that's just his voice sound, he has have that always and I have always loved it.

So, dont you worry, there is nothing wrong with Eddie's voice !!

I think you're referring to his use of Vibrato - he has had it from the beginning and has been widely lauded as an integral part of Ed's sound from his peers, critics and idols alike (including a specific mention by Mr. Bruce Springsteen which is quoted in one of the official PJ books).
As his voice ages it's understandable to expect it to be used more, perhaps in situations where he doesn't have the full power that he once did or can't hold a specific note for as long as he used to. I'd rather this change in technique was represented in studio recordings as it reflects the natural changes in his voice/range.

That being said, I personally think he's sounding better than he has in years both in the studio and live.

to me he sounds amazing on LB, and the snippets Ive seen of this tour have led me to believe he is bang on form.

crazy thread

What's wrong is your lack of punctuation and sentence structure.

Couldn't agree more! That's the first thing I noticed when I listened to LB! His tonality is really good on this whole album!
