Look at Ronnie James Dio. He was a very small guy but dear god what a voice. (Apparently, he used to play the trumpet when he was young. Must have given him some serious lung power.) Dio was also one of those weird fellas who sang really high but his tone was such that he sounded really masculine even high up there. Just brilliant. His pitch was astonishing, too.
Gorth Posted May 10, 2022 Posted May 10, 2022 On the topic of small front men/women with big voices, I nominate Klaus Meine (163cm) from Scorpions and Bruce Dlckinson (168) from Iron Maiden. Impressive voices in tiny bodies... 1 “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Impressive voices in tiny bodies... Very good indeed, both of them. Apparently Dio was also 163 cm. I think the one who could jump highest, at least in the studio, was Klaus Meine. There's a ridiculously high C or C# at the end of Now! (from Blackout). I'm not going to check, but I think it's higher than Dickinson's scream in Gangland (from Number of the Beast) or the background harmonics in Flash of the Blade (from Powerslave). Dio doesn't reach as high anywhere, I think. I invite anyone to correct me, this is from memory.

(It was always funny how some of the 1980s rock bands, for instance, had vocalists who couldn't really pull it off in concert, Vince Neil and David Lee Roth being good examples. Dio certainly could.)

LadyCrimson Posted May 21, 2022 Posted May 21, 2022 Hmm...I love Ray Charles but I think I might like this "electro swing" version more. Strangely the original creators vid (first) has relatively few views but some slightly different remix someone did (2nd) has millions and millions. The whimsy of the 'net and algorithms.

Together with Blade Runner probably my two favourite sound tracks from 80's movies... Arnold did a couple of movies in the 80's that I liked. Besides Conan, I would give honourable mentions to Twins (a shout out to Danny DeVito too) and Total Recall. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

xzar_monty Posted May 24, 2022 Posted May 24, 2022 Here's a former superpower returned to action: out of shape, out of sorts, badly coordinated and utterly unprepared but still able to wreak immeasurable havoc in its apparent desire to ruin its reputation and destroy its legacy, thus essentially forcing anyone watching to hope that all this will be over as soon as possible. No parallels with anything in the world right now, of course. 1
