[METALSTYGIAN]

#1 band in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jonesy97]

Maybe cutting his hair was the catalyst for loosing his vocals. I mean, look what happened to Sampson! Those vocals were rough!

[calastiur]

@Abisso666 Or he managed to gain range when he was young without actually taking good care of it. Doesn't he smoke? Also, I got the re-release of ''Perfect Symmetry'' which is good to hear how Alder was live. In 1988 (release year of ''No Exit'') he was able to hit the high notes in ''Silent Cries'', a year later i 1989 he already lost that and sticked to falsetto.

And to be honest didn't Alder use falsetto (in the way of faking high notes) on ''The Eleventh Hour''?

[Abisso666]

I could be wrong, but I could swear Alder lost his voice because of the fact he forced notes too much in the earlier days (Eleventh hour and such). Same thing happened to Labrie of DT (I know the story of the food poisoning but I don't believe it). Few are the metal singers with really high notes that don't lose the voice sooner or later

People shouln't complain about Ray Alder's lack of long hair and that his voice has changed. It's obvious that he can't hit that high notes anymore. I was never a big fan of these anyway and I prefer his ''warmer'' voice of ''Perfect Symetry and ''Parallels''. Check out the quietus version of 2010. He sounds fine there.

Really, I get tired of all the fuckin critics! How many of you have toured? How many of you have played show upon show? Do you think it's easy for your vocals to hold up days, weeks & years? I have toured & played & sang 'til I lost my voice. It's harder than you guys think. And, I'm not even close to their level.

[Dolenza]

I'll never forgive Ray for cutting his hair...why? was he going for a job at jiffy lube? Bullshit! No excuse. This might sound shallow but it is wrong on many levels!

[chrismaxpayne]

A School band do their Job better than they do.Bad voice.ASK Alder why he don't sing with high powerful prog agression.Di Biase has gone. The second guitar has gone.Perfect Symmetrie has gone.I visited the backstage with them on Tour in early 90s, The early prog days!!!!!!!!!!!!

[brucetheking]

i understand, but he had to force his voice.

it was an amazing show.

[cattboy123]

sounds like he has a cold he's the only one that isn't an asshole well I'm not sure about Joey Vera

[Petruccibear]

I don't think Ray wants to hit those notes anymore. On his solo project "Engine" he keeps it pretty low and makes it more emotional. If he really wanted to go out there and hit those notes, he would get a coach or vocal trainer.

He always struck me as a guy who was just naturally gifted, who didn't focus on all the discipline and training.

[gummodude]

amen. maybe it was all just studio magic that made him sound good on the records.
