No shit its not Brad..Brad killed himself and he's gone..that really sucks but this guy is giving the fans the closest theyre gonna come to hearing the original Boston sound..Sweet may be a great singer but he just doesnt sound like Brad..Tommy does and thats awesome! all u haters dont listen!!
Nah-Michael Sweet is a much better singer. I can hear this guys voice coming out his nasal passage and I personally don't like that (I can't imagine why anyone would like that). There's no pop. He's a great cover band singer and that is all.
One word: AWESOME!!!!!!! What a great story this new singer has. A real fan since he was a kid gets his dream come true in the wake of a tragedy. I love Bostons songs since I've been a kid too and I can imagine how he feels. I wish Boston and Tommy DeCarlo great success.
You guys rippin' on Tommy DeCarlo don't know what you're talking about. This is a demo recording recorded in a home studio or a small town studio. You can't take that and compare it to a studio album produced by Tom Scholz. To expect Tommy DeCarlo on a demo tape to sound just as good as Brad Delp on a Boston album is ridiculous. Put Brad Delp in a low end studio and he would sound a lot worse. Have Tommy DeCarlo produced in a pro studio by Tom Scholz and he'll sound a lot better.
Listen closer..He is good! Take your best Karoake singers and they don't compare. He has a full strong voice. I liked Delp too, but Decarlo does for Boston what Arnel Pineda does for Journey. That is, give'm a second go! What everbody wants. The past. Can you do better? Give your favourite old band a video dedication on Youtube and start the ball rolling>If your that good i will pay to see you as lead singer. How about Led Zepplin? Rob can't sing that high anymore. So has lost interest.
I just compared Brad Delp's original recording to this one on Youtube for myself. I have this album, have been a huge fan since the 70's, seen them live with Brad Delp. I would think I could tell the difference. I'm blown away by how spot on this recording is!
Thats the problem with these older bands, they are classic rock bands, they need to stay classic, when they go in and put out new music, its never as good as it was in their prime, and it ruins their reputation, in my opinion
Tom Scholz himself thought it was Brad Delp singing this when he first heard it on his small PC speakers. When he heard it amplified, he couldn't believe it wasnt Brad. Decarlo should be singing full time most, if not all of Brad Delp's songs.
@ZackT618 dude sorry i dont believe that for a minute he is good but he is no brad delp and if if tom couldnt tell that theres something wrong with toms hearing period end of story
@ZackT618 That's pretty hard to believe. It's very good singing, but also very distinct from Delp. Very distinct. I could tell within 5 seconds, at most, and I'm just a fan and wasn't in the band for years.
there will never be a replacement to Brad Delp, but his vocal ability was what made him incredible. This guy does an amazing job that gave me goosebumps.
@spinosaurusrules1 fran is doin the solo thing and no longer with boston. i wish he was. there were some songs fran did like i need your love, walk on and livin for you, corporate america that i thought were pure boston. i love em!!
