Now days it's hard to believe this level of vocal track was ever created without autotune or melodyne.

[@stephenholland132]

Yeah, you're not wrong there.

[@chaddavies4160]

It's only because they didn't use autotune that they acheived this level of greatness. Talent used to matter.

[@raskolnjikov1]

Sebastian is a theater of a man. Unmatched vocals that convey pure passion and raw emotion with unique fry/distortion and beautiful pitch and belt. For me, this song is a masterpiece of everything rnr/heavy metal music can offer. Haunting lyrics, awesome guitars, drums...

[@wayneg9019]

I went to see Sebastian a couple of years ago and he came out and let us know he was going to sing three songs to warm up, take a break and then come back out and kick our ass. He was true to his word. He sounded very close to his 90's peak. Very good show!

[@miket3647]

Sebastian Bach has a crazy range and such a powerful voice along with being able to command the stage. He is a legend. He has also done some on Broadway such as "Jesus Christ Superstar", "Jekyll and Hyde" and toured with "The Rocky horror Show". He is about as versatile as you can get.

[@Nofilter1976]

"My god how long can he sustain that note"? forever, the dude can still hit it.

[@adamd8754]

I don't know if anyone commented about this, but i was lucky to be backstage for a show. Sebastian used his 'warmup' as entertainment for the fans & crew. He started with 'Summer Breeze', worked through 6 or 7 other songs, and finished going note for note with the radio ...which i think was playing 'Sympathy for the Devil'. A very nice guy, and a very talented singer. I'm sorry that I didn't get to see him on Broadway.

[@Thedesertguy75]

He was one of the best singers of that era. So much fluidity and passion.

[@YodasMama]

Seb blew his voice out when he recorded this. He said he had to cancel concerts for at least 2 weeks to give his vocals a rest.

First and foremost I love your reactions, particularly that you are a young woman being exposed to a lot of music from my era (Gen X) for the first time; your reactions are priceless. You seemed dumbfounded by the lyrics and I was a bit taken back by your reaction in so much as this song is all about addiction, loosing a person whom you care for to that addiction. I can't determine if your nativity is simply from not having experienced this in your life OR that you simply were concentrating on the technical/vocal aspects and not so much the meaning; I predict it to be the later which I hope is the instance and also makes your reaction more endearing. :) Just so you know this song is 30+ years old, it has touched me in a lot of ways over the years as I am certain it has other people; I hope that it has touched you... Just never in a bad way I sincerely hope/pray. Have a blessed and Happy New Year! :)
