    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 :lol:
    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.

    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?

    :lol:

    4. Is your name Eddie Vedder? (If so, you're playing a sick sick joke on us Ed - It's late and you definitely ARE drunk)
    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.

    :lol::lol::lol:

    You win. Awesome.

    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!

    On the record or live? 'Cause this tour, you can see he's struggling. Doesn't hit the high notes (and pulls away from the mic whenever there's a high note to hit) and is content with letting the fans sing some portions of the songs.

    Hey, it still rocks, don''t get me wrong, but I think you are all crazy if you don't think his voice is as good as it was even 5 or 6 years ago. 20+ years of screaming, smoking and drinking will do that.
