The Vocal Range of John West: C2-F5(-C6)

[@philippyne]

My fav John West is the whole Royal Hunt - The Mission album. Sounds like a god damn diva. Incredible.

"Seasons change" from the Paper Blood CD is epic

There was a time when Johnny had a bout with throat cancer, and his voice was noticeably affected. Ian told me about this a couple of years ago, and I feel somewhat responsible for this since back in the day, I was a smoker and did so around him. He was diagnosed with throat problems during the recording of the demos and it pushed our release date back, which inevitably lead to the falling apart of the band and sparked his and Lonnie's vast and professional careers. I guess you could say the story had a fairytale ending for them after all. Now, circling back to Johnny having cancer, it would have been a tremendous loss to music if he had been forced to stop singing as he has a wonderful gift (many have compared him to sounding like Glen Hughes). Thanks to God for his recovery, and those who care are still praying for him and the others. I have learned that blowing out someone else's candle won't make mine shine brighter...

You are a liar because if he really had had throat cancer he wouldn't even have continued singing and he wouldn't even have continued doing so many collaborations, he would have had a more worn out and tired voice, however it is the opposite, his voice evolved into a more voice. aggressive, sharp and at the same time clean, simply before she sang with a notable falsetto but still with an impressive voice one could say something similar to Steve Perry in terms of her vocal timbre

Great video and description.

[@deep.feeling]

Great. John west is my favourite vocalist. This shows his ability unmatched by only a few

[@wixed]

Hey! this was cool, very interesting. John has been my favorit singer since i first heard him. Thanx.

What i've read, John had problem with his voice at that time. I think he did surgery, and was in recovery when they recorded Future World, the record label refused to wait until he was ok. I think his voice changed after that.

[@supermahmoud]

been a forever fan of Vitalij Kuprij, I discovered John West via "Artension" band. what I can't understand, it's the change in his vocals, from "Into The Eye Of The Storm (1996)" to "New Discovery (2002)" John had the same vocal tone, but in the last album "Future World (2004)" I can't understand what happened ! his voice is totally different, at first I thought they changed singer, but he was credited in the album ! what happened to John's voice between those albums (2002-2004) !!

i hherad hi has a nose operation

[@hamiltongaitanmunoz6705]

His voice in the previous albums was more of a kind of falceto and in the royal hunt albums 2005 paper blood and Artension 2004 future world it is a more natural and clean voice and even sharper, apparently it took him some time to adapt and implement that new timbre in his voice, I also listened to his work at Artlantica 2013 and in certain parts you can notice that he can sing with his previous voice timbre without any problem, well that is my opinion, since I have analyzed all his works in detail

[@LORDELRICGR]

You should also check his work with band "Mythodea"!

[@elenapalama]

Great work! Thanks!

[@richgrohs9281]

Alot of people dont realize that he did the vocals on an album in 1986 called Diamond featuring MITCH DIAMOND

[@muzikturnip5415]

West"s voice is better than ever now. He went through some rough times, but came out the other side.

2.51 sounds like mark boals with west in the background at the end.

[@DreamWorldwide]

@boiresort Intervention was released on the Watchers, but recorded between Fear and The Mission. World Wide War was on The Mission, not Eyewitness.

[@Spydrfish]

Nice video, Glad you included plenty of falsetto notes in this video, cause this guy is one of the signers where his most impressive sounding notes are the (Apparently) falsetto ones, But the full notes weren't too bad either. Could have afforded to be a bit shorter but whatever.

[@hamiltongaitanmunoz6705]

John west in his Last álbum with royal hunt seems to have rejuvenated his voice or am i wrong ??

[@bigfatnoodle48]
