The long overdue "DAVE IS A BARITONE" thread. I could not agree more. I've seen every Roth solo tour since 96 live and in person, and I won't pay this time around to hear him sing like this.
I know he likes to romanticize the blue singer "reaching for that note". However, if you're baritone voice (or technically low baritone speaking voice, high baritone singing voice for Dave), you reach into your grab bag of tenor or high tenor vocals for...a note, maybe a verse, but not the entire song. This is what wore his voice out last tour, staining like this instead of keeping it in the pocket.
I have no clue what the guy is thinking singing like this.
Dave sang better during the 2007/08 tour, for sure.
I make a few faces here and there while listening to the 2012 versions too. What's odd as well to me is when he starts a verse
as high as he can, and then ends it 2 tones lower, which breaks the coherence of the melodies.
Or sometimes he'll start a line pretty high and finish it at the right height, or 2 tones lower again... :confused:
But it depends on the songs, because on "Romeo Delight" for instance his singing mathced perfectly.
Maybe it's only a matter of rehearsing as well, as it was said earlier - but during last year's tour it was the same.
It would be interesting to have Ed's and Al's takes about it, and even Wolf's.
The backing vocals are spot on, but sometimes when Dave joins in it almost makes the whole get out of tune.

Uh, I hate to break it to you. But since the very beginning, Dave usually sings whatever the fuck he wants.
i know but he did it on a magical way back then , changing the melodies and even lyrics but that sounded good if not perfect !
Now he is ruining the tunes
Have to agree with DTNA. It was a concert highlight back in 07-08. Now it's more like WTF? Not sure what Dave is going for with that tune, but he's swinging and missing by a mile. Surprised Ed and Wolf haven't had a DTNA intervention with him...
