Def Leppard - Photograph - Joe Elliott - Isolated Vocals - Analysis and Singing Lesson

[@crystalshorter353]

I had the pleasure of meeting Joe Elliot after a concert in 1999. I still remember the conversation like it was yesterday. I said one of the things I slways admired about their sound was the backing vocals, they were so melodic. I asked him if he was in a band just starting out today and you wanted to capture the best vocals without breaking the bank what would you recommend? His eyes lit up and replied "Oh! Fostex digital mate!" For the next 15 minutes we had the coolest conversation about song writing and recording. He talked to me like I was his new best friend. Great memory!

[@emmaclaire6915]

Omg that’s my dream!

[@gizmogearloose3391]

You have my utmost envy! Big Leppard fan here and Joe always came across in his interviews as a true fan of what he does, as well as a MAJOR fan of his influences. So I told myself that if I ever bumped into him after a show, I'd have to ask him about the vocal process, cause the only bands that came close, to me, in order, was Sweet first, then Queen. I would ask him how the hell Leppard managed to take it two steps above the next level, then I'd shut up and listen and learn from a true fan....but you kinda beat me to it!!!

[@MsLoriGold]

That is truly awesome! ❤️🎼❤️

[@blanchenoirview]

👏👏👏 lucky You! 🤍

[@tljklaus]

Wow I’m jealous 🙂

[@danastout36]

I hate to admit this, but when I was a young kid and this album came out I stole the cassette tape from K-Mart and played it endlessly. Thankfully my thief days were very very brief as I was afraid of getting caught, but what a fantastic and powerful album start to finish. Thank you Ken and God bless.

[@ihaatey0u]

The harmonies in this song are so angelic. The harmonies are what hooked me as a kid. The imperfections are what made this song so special. It was gritty, raw, sexy, emotional, etc.. one of the best songs ever written.

[@mollyhatchet7075]

THEY USED A FAIRLIGHT FOR THE BACKING VOCALS .LISTEN TO THE PHOTOGRAPH PARTS ... ITS A COMPUTER .JOE HAS A MUSICAL SIREN IN HIS THROAT ... HE'S A ONE IN A BILLION TALENT .

[@adamhester7294]

@@mollyhatchet7075That's not the case. The backing vocals were recorded by Phil Collen, Rick Savage, and Robert John (Mutt) Lange. They didn't want Joe Elliott's voice in the harmonies to make sure they were distinct from the lead. They were recorded as a four part harmony, with each singer recording 3-4 takes (using no vibrato) and stacking all of the vocals together. This meant that there were over a dozen voices in the harmonies, which creates the same effect as a choir, reducing discrepancies in pitch from any one voice. Mutt Lange also added several tracks of whisper vocals to give the high end a boost and add a bit of hissy distortion. All vocals were recorded using a U67 tube microphone, straight into the board. This was recorded on tape so there was no pitch correction or computer assistance involved. In fact, the entire song is about a quarter-step flat. Once all vocals were recorded, he ran them through a modified noise reducer and a compressor, then piled them all onto one track on the master tape. That's what gives the harmonies the buzzy but still impossibly clean sound that makes them seem almost artificial.

[@XMAN78601]

@@adamhester7294 ... hi. Brilliant answer. Are you sure 4 part harmonies were used? I have worked out: 1. Root note vocal line. 2. 3rd harmony up of the root vocal line. 3. 8th vocal line (which is the higher octave of the root vocal line). What do you think?

[@earache70]

Mutt Lange production techniques. The gift that keeps on giving. No matter how many times you go back to his well, it will be just as full as ever.

[@PK-vd3vo]

As a 12 year old boy when this came out, I can tell you that nothing sounded like this at the time. Photograph captured exactly how cool this band was at the time. And, I might add that to this day, I think Pyromania was by far my favorite compared to Hysteria.

[@motley123rock]

Agreed Pyromania is a classic !

[@anthonymarocco955]

Agreed! It Was So Massive And Brilliant. That Old 80`s Feeling When Yer Wait`in For The Next Tune On The Radio..And Its "Photograph" Incredible

[@2jazzyjeffer]

I was 13 and even bought a British flag shirt like Rick Allen's shorts. Lol

[@larrycornell240]

Right on. Def Leppard hit the consciousness of adolescent boys with ‘Foolin’ in like 82. They were the blueprint from which hair metal was born.

[@rickchyczewski576]

Too late for love was the track on pyro that set itself above the rest....for me. It was their best song imo and if it was on high n dry, that would have been the perfect album.

[@rks891]

To me I think Def Leppard really defined what 80's rock sounded like. Also, after 44 years making records and playing hundreds of live shows Joe still sounds amazing at 62 years old! Great analysis Ken, please make more with Hysteria album!

[@gallopingLake6]

When I first heard this song, his vocals and the melody of the song went where I didn't think music could ever sound like. It was very captivating.

[@bradjohnson7498]

Ken, don't apologize, feel bad or walk on egg shells for calling out bad technique. Everyone knows you have the best intentions trying to help young singers not make the same mistakes. Your honesty and knowledge is what sets you apart from others. Keep it up!

[@julianbenedict9720]

Ive learned more about vocals from Ken than--ANYWHERE ELSE!! No Apology necessary to the one million subscriber, right?:) They do have an AC/DC vibe for sure, one of the reasons I liked them, guitar for sure using the AC/DC formula..

[@PowerFOOLThunderCLOWN]

It goes to show tho, in rock music especially, a "bad technique" can be worked & fittted into a performance just the way it needs to be and make a #1 song.

[@tammyevans7333]

My favorite De f Leppard song!!

[@larrainehester1903]

He is special, he sounds amazing, always has he has a magical touch about him he gets better and better, he is the most beautiful and handsome man that I have ever laid my eyes on ! He simply sounds amazing! I hope he is able to read these reviews. Glad you were able to meet him Crystal, it’s been my dream to be able to meet him as well one day. ♥️

[@ewaa37911]

Boy, for a moment I felt young again:) Thank you!

[@chriscoulstring8562]

This was mind blowing to me. Thank you Ken. As a teen I tried so hard to hit those notes with my chest voice without success because I had no training. However, I could hit them with my head voice. I felt like a failure for not being able to hit them with my chest voice. I loved Def Leppard as a teen and our band was always covering their songs during our rehearsals. All of us being 15 to 16 years old, the guys I would sing with were amazing musicians and I always felt like I let them down. At 48, this is rather encouraging and therapeutic. Sincerely, thank you for this. Very educational and encouraging.

[@MarkBlumenthal1]

Yes sir Chris, I couldn't agree more! Well said ! .. you didn't let anyone down, covering Joe!

[@larrycornell240]

We can all let go of the trauma of not being Joe Elliot. It’s a bit like a secret that was known by nobody at the time, mixed voice as the centering of the entire vocal range. We need chest and head, but mix takes us to Chris Cornell, and pretty every other healthy great vocalist.

[@nancycox7061]

I never noticed how amazing those harmonies sound.

[@tkalbfeld1]

The Def Leppard dudes sound great harmonizing!!

[@jenb9274]

Was lucky enough to grow up in Europe when that album came out and saw them live on that tour as a teenage boy. The 80's rule!!

[@juancarlosnunezf96]

Def Leppard is one those bands that will blow you away live. It's just incredible how good they are in concert.

[@wpochert]

Imagine being a 20 something Joe Elliott and hearing the playback of this song for the first time....had to be some kind of revelation of possibilities...totally enabled the confidence they would all need before Hysteria ❤

[@annettehunt900]

I absolutely love Joe Elliott’s voice and I pretty much had a crush on him since the 80s. I hope he reads these reviews. If you’re reading this Joe I love you.

[@Bluesmaaaan]

He IS pretty damn good!!!

[@raymond1842]

Def Leppard was one of the greatest Rock/Heavy Metal bands of all time, with great songwriting, vocals, and production. I always hate it when people lump them in as a "hair band". They were so much more than that. I've always thought that the way you tell if a band is good is if they are good live. Def Leppard is superb in concert.

[@larrycornell240]

Agreed, but they did end up being the blueprint for hair metal.

[@Packerscorner]

To me this is one of their best songs…if not the best! Love this song!

[@monsterdoc]

Awesome to hear Joe's isolated vox. His voice is unmistakeably killer!

[@ilpoheikkila4773]

I used to listen to Def Leppard a lot before I got saved in 1992. I always heard that AC/DC vibe in their songs and that’s why I liked them.

[@calpilot7]

COMMENTS ARE AWESOME. Never realized what was going on with Joe’s vocal. Head voice …. Chest voice….now I know and can easily pick it out. You’re great and thanks very much for educating me. You rock….literally.

[@kentamplin]

Yeah!

[@larrycornell240]

Despite the scooping, And the wall of sound I think the style fits the song perfectly. Joe Elliot is the undisputed master of sounding like Joe Elliot.

[@kentamplin]

Yes, Larry. No one sings more like Joe Elliott that JOE ELLIOTT! ☺

[@larrycornell240]

I think it’s a great exercise to try to analyze and even impersonate great vocalists. It’s good that you are warning people about how our wrong impressions of what’s being done can lead to vocal harm. Question. Do you think that most of the damage this generation of vocalists did to there voices came from grueling schedules, bad venues, abuse of the body and mind? Is injury just a random thing? Vocalists are athletes, there is a risk of injury in some of these things all the time?

[@larrycornell240]

Btw, I’m eventually going to do a KZbin series on vocal pedagogy that tries to highlight the differences and similarities in the leading online coaches. You guys have definitely convinced me that most people can learn to sing beautifully. What an untapped source of blessing in our lives! A way to bring comfort, to worship.

[@rickrudd]

Can you give me a short explanation of "scooping"? I know it might be rudimentary, but I truly don't know what it exactly means (something to do with midrange?)

[@NiniRockX]

Def leppard is great. I saw the band live in 2011. I can't believe how you analyze his singing. Now I am even more enthusiastic about continuing your course. Again, your explanations are just worth gold.

[@danielthomas8507]

Joes best qualities' are his youthful sound, been a fan since the 2nd album (best one)

[@xgod3848]

Hi Ken, thank you so much for that lesson! I am a singer and guitarist in a coverband and was about to to drop Photograph in B, as I wasn't able to take all the high notes. But Photograph in Drop B sucks, no punch anymore. I always thought, I have to use my chest voice to sing "truely". You taught me I don't have to - and it now works, dropped to D. Opens up whole new world for me, so great I saw your video. Works as well with Accept covers. You are the man, thank you!

[@CosmicChild1111]

I love Def Leppard and had a huge crush on Joe back in the day. I remember there being a movie about how Mutt produced them. I saw them live a few times and they were great! I love these break down videos on the isolation of vocals too!

[@whitefantom]

I also had a huge crush on Joe way back when. He was actually probably one of my very first musical crushes, and even today his voice still gives me all the good kind of goosebumps. 💜

[@jasonelliott66]

I know this is about Joe but I gotta tell ya, I got chills when that chorus hit with those harmonies!!

[@GCOE63]

Very cool to see this. Joe's voice is so unique and your breakdown and explanation of his head and chest voice is phenomenal. Kudos!

[@vojtechkuchta6070]

Joe Elliott is my hero, maybe because I was approaching some notes with simillar techniques (maybe because I wanted to sound like him). But after longer singing my throat was destroyed. It was very hard for me to be on pitch and to sing soft and clean. Few weeks ago I’ve finnaly “found my voice”, approaching notes is much easier when I don’t mimic Joe’s colour, I just sound as me, compression and distortion control is much better and finally (!!!) I go through my passagios with no bump when I sing (not practicing). I can finally apply what I’ve learned in Volume 3 of KTVA 2.0. Thank you Ken!

[@kentamplin]

Congrats!

[@roylowry4798]

YOU PULLED THE CURTAIN BACK THANK YOU! I DIDNT EVEN KNOW IT WAS THERE!!!!!!

Love the production on def leppard songs , nothing better than a long drive in the car with Hysteria blaring out the speakers.

[@kentamplin]

Definitely!

[@codysteel8245]

Great break down, Joe's voice is so raw young and full of energy! It gives me chills Everytime I hear it. It makes me weep for what we have lost and for what kids today will never know. The power of good music and a good voice can change a young kids life. Unfortunately that power does not exist anymore. Technology has it made so that having no talent is no longer an obstacle to becoming a star. So now you just have noise being made by talentless fools. No originality no innovation just garbage for simple minds made by talentless simple people. How tragic to see what has become of music in this day and age.

[@boomer9341]

I couldn’t agree more

[@generalsixty2133]

Joe did an interview a while back and said that Mutt guided him to make his voice more appealing to the female audience. This song sounds like the segway to the sex appeal of the Hysteria album.

[@wpochert]

It worked ! They might have lost the admiration of the hair metal purists, but man look at all the millions of people they made so very happy...kudos to Mutt to know exactly what was the essence and true quality elements of the band and bring that to the forefront

[@in2livinit]

They were a straight up gritty hard Rock head banger band. Listen to "Wasted" from On through the Night, Right ? Then fwd to "Switch 625". Mutt basically told them " You want to go from dudes bringing their rocker GFs, to Rah Rah GFs gushing & going in packs & throwing panties onstage & making gazillions, I'll show you how. Also cue Phil Collen & Vivian Campbell. Phil is a true axe slinger who didn't ditch his shirt for guys, & Vivian is a great guitarist. But Steve Clark & Pete Willis were a raw powerhouse pair together. RIP Steve Steamin Clark.

[@rhoadsmatheson2246]

High n' Dry is my favorite album. Let It Go, is my favorite DL Song. Great analysis Ken, Thank you.

[@kentamplin]

Thanks, Rhoads!

[@christianboyd4635]

I remember buying this album on vinyl back in '83 and asking my dad to transfer it onto cassette for me to listen on my walkman. He was showing me the levels on his EQ (badass system for the time haha) and saying that it wasn't a great recording cuz they weren't hitting the full range. He then played Fleetwood Mac and showed me the difference. I had never really thought about that before, but I think what Ken was describing as the "tubby" drums pretty much sums it up. Still an awesome album and great song.

[@heathcoat67]

my favorite song by my favorite band off my favorite album

[@brentwerley6762]

Right on, Ken... if one listens to Def Leppard and AC/DC live circa 1983, Elliott and Johnson's vocals sound VERY similar in technique and delivery. Mutt Lange really did a superb job with both vocalists. To really hear this with Johnson, listen to some of his Geordie stuff before he joined AC/DC. Also, your analysis of Elliot's use of mix in transitioning from chest to head is fantastic. It took me quite a while to learn his vocals because I initially would catch myself trying to force my chest through the roof of my voice. I can see this helping a LOT of people. Thank you once again and God Bless, sir!

[@kentamplin]

Thanks for weighing in, Brent!

[@hggirl]

Ken, your knowledge and passion for vocal art is so adorable, inspiring and infectious.

Mutt Lange also produced Foreigner 4 in 1980. Lou Graham said in an interview that Mutt Lange wanted Lou Graham to sing in a higher pitch. But Lou Graham told Mutt Lange that he doesn’t sing like that. I guess Mutt Lange liked the higher pitched voices.
