In fairness, Herfield and Shadows have both famously blown their voices out to a point that created physical damage. Hetfield had to dial his approach and techniques in afterwards which makes it sound less agressive in order to preserve what he still has. I don't think Shadows is quite there yet but I hope he has continued ability as Hetfield did. As far as Dio... who knows lol.

Thanks for helping me even more Chris! You just earned a new subscriber!

[@ThrashRebel]

I hear you, man. “Safely” is the keyword. You know more about singing than me; I’m a guitarist who “discovered” that I could sing. My natural range is in that Hetfield, Matt Drake, John Bush, Layne Stayley type range. I say my natural range, because those ranges is where I can feel most comfortable singing with “hyper comprehension” and using my false cords. I also feel comfortable in that Lashon Witherspoon range. However, I “blew out” my voice after after becoming a vocalist for a band in Japan. I can do vocal impressions (but cannot effectively do some that I previously did after I had surgery to remove a vocal cord polyp). I developed said polyp via pushing my voice to hard onstage during gigs (drinking hard alcohol between songs), and my day job (broadcasting and using my voice constantly). Also, while on stage, I pushed my voice HARD, because of all the rage inside me. I ended up having surgery to remove the polyp. However, I think I, recently, developed another polyp. This time is was a combination of stress from my previous job (changed careers recently), drinking cold liquids and, once again, said rage. Oh, and smoking. Literally, blowing out smoke and jumping right into growling vocals with smoke still rolling out of my lungs (I know; very stupid of me). My problem is I need to CONTROL my rage and only push my voice when needed, not CONSTANTLY pushing it. Honestly, I’ve been considering vocal lessons to help me learn when to push and when to hold back. Now, I am of the mindset (now) that I should push it only when recording, not when singing by myself or even live. Also, to me smarter and not drink cold liquids and smoke while singing. Hetfield (and Matt Drake of Evile) both have the same vocal style, but both “lay off” when singing live. They don’t push as hard, live. It makes sense, one shouldn’t push when doing many consecutive gigs. Again, my main problem seems controlling my emotions and not going all out. I am sure I can still express my rage without trying to scream it out of my throat with every ounce of my being. I don’t want to end up like Phil Anselmo. He had a great voice, but his rage destroyed it.

11:52 This stuff that you're getting into there, I think that might be something I'm doing to an extent, moderating notes in certain phrases with my support.

I made it to 5500 times (wanted to get to 10.000), but felt like I couldn't speed it up without missing the intonation on the notes. But it's been a while since I tried, and I've practiced a lot since. I'll revisit and try again with this in mind. Thanks as always, Chris.

Awesome lesson, man. Thanks so much for doing this, I always wanted to see some good analytics behind JHs singing talent. But I must mention that (for "Kill 'em all" and partly "Ride the lightning" albums) he didn't "control" much of his singing. By his words, it was more like :"I started singing, and they wanted more aggression. So in the end of recording , I was just yelling at microphone

Crazy! Yeah, good points. It’s good for us, then, to try to learn these proper ways of using our voices.

Hey man, your videos have helped me a lot. A Joe Duplantier would be awesome!

[@jsebastian9547]

Just started the video. Looking forward to some yeyahs!

[@retronatorYT]

Hey man great vids should do Devin Townsend and Howard Jones(Killswitch Engage)

[@retronatorYT]

ChronicTheAgoristHedgehog I totally agree Howard is the one who got me into Metalcore

[@lucasshred]

I love your vocal break examples, very fun to do lol

5:53 😂 i loved that part

Gotta day this video has really helped me figure out how to get a more controlled distortion with my voice... more do than any other! I’ve actually gone back to the Freddie Mercury and Layne Staley videos and have had a much easier time getting the grittier tones by singing a few lines of Fuel first! Thank you so much!

[@chrisliepe]

That’s great!! Thanks for sharing.

[@kaloyangetov1046]

[@junaidesse]

[@chrisliepe]

[@junaidesse]

@@chrisliepe "I'll do anyone" Sure, Chris 😂😂 Thanks again!

[@gabef7011]

@@chrisliepe if you will do anything, do Greg Gilbert from shrine of malice >:) Great videos. Keep up the awesome job

[@madhatter8508]

I found this video because I can do a pretty mean Dave Mustaine impression with hypercompression but then my voice gets locked into it. Thanks for showing me how to clean it up.

How does Serj Tankian get his aggressive sound from the earlier System of a Down Albums? Biggest question i have by far.

[@gutturalbanshee72]

I'm no expert but I think he just screamed... But not in a healthy way at all

[@nickx1754]

7:41 pushing more downward and using that break technique. I tried your advice and I’ve never had a better sounding and feeling false chord scream!! Whoa, thanks man!! Found you from your appearance on the Specter Sound Studios channels. New subscriber here 👍🏻

[@chrisliepe]

Awesome! Thanks for the sub!!
