Watch Pain of Salvation lady.

[@collinchristiansen8870]

I listen to GVF when I don't want to think about how upset I am (still) that my husband died last year. Josh's incredibly powerful and beautiful voice says what I cannot verbalize--he speaks for me! and def puts my mind in another place. That family of brothers is just incredible. They changed my way of thinking and helped me through the very difficult grieving process.

[@OropherThranduil]

Definitely feels like i imagine going to Rock Shows during the wild early 70s must have felt like, when Arena Rock first got really epic. Saw them yesterday and what an experience it was.

[@bradosborne5044]

In an interview he said he got his sound when they were playing in the garage and he had to belt it out to be heard over their instruments.

[@alecgiroux]

Age of Alternative The story is that during band practice one day he let out a scream (similar to highway tune or Safari song) while competing with sound of the instruments and it was something he’d never done before so from that point he practiced doing stuff like that and it just eventually became his sound

[@livelongandprospermary8796]

I saw them live in concert and it was like a religious experience. He’s definitely improved (not that he wasn’t good here).

"The voice and the guitar are dancing" wondering if them being twins is the majic. Yet the guitarist and bassist brothers look identical but the bassist is younger and quite a bit taller. Please do more GVF!

[@parvaribes6508]

I was waiting for this! I love Joshua and his voice, which is incredible. He inspired me to return to singing and I went on singing lessons. Wonderfully, you are recording something like this, because thanks to it I can know his way of singing, which helps in perfecting my vocal. Thank you!!!❤️🌹

[@JethroBoDean]

Me to I didnt think she was gonna get around to it he has such an interesting voice and style yes its Zeplin I think he does it better than Plant and the rest of the band equally is at very least right up there guitar and bass sound just killer not a great judge of drums but it sounds good to me

[@davemurrell2366]

You speak of control and health in singing. Id like to see a reaction to improper vocals that will damage and csuse issue

[@bigmike-]

Just look at the guy from Avenged Sevenfold in his early days. Guy _destroyed_ his vocal cords through literal years of improper singing techniques. Same for the OG singer for Killswitch.

[@aunes]

Same with some of dream theater in the mid/ late 90s, lot of unhealthy growl/ distortion, also in part to the food poisoning James LaBrie had to deal with in ‘94

There is definitely a late 60's Brit Rock vibe to this whole band. I LOVE it! I'll have to look into more of them!

[@s1d299]

Oh yeah. They have definitely picked up the classic rock torch! They get tons of comparisons to Zeppelin, which is fair, but they clearly have a lot more diverse roots than just that.

I also saw them in Los Angeles last weekend (both nights) I've been a GVF fan since January and finally got the chance to see them live. I honestly was not expecting Josh to sound as good live as he endes up being! Like seriously I'm even more in love 💜

[@ryantucker9403]

@@y_0886I noticed right away that he can keep a note longer then some of the live videos I have seen on KZbin from a couple years ago. He also a little older so I'm sure his voice is changing a bit. There were a few times I had to ask myself how the hell can he keep that up. The whole band rocked it.

I've rarely felt such an amazing vibe just throughout the whole venue. Highly recommend seeing them if you have the chance! Not to mention their playing is friggin awesome and their drummer is an animal!

[@Overfloable]

Suggestion: The Mars Volta - Eriatarka. Right up your alley if you liked this song

[@ericnowak9497]

Overfloable It’s a great song and band, but not so much an example of a competent vocalist. Cedric is wildly inconsistent and at times just downright embarrassingly awful. As a fan of the music I’m not slagging on it out of hate, but he really just isn’t a good vocalist.

[@Natedogg2112]

The craziest thing about him is how easy he makes it looks. He gets so many comparisons to Plant, which is fair, but watching him sing reminds me of Jeff Buckley, controlled and effortless. Obviously he’s got great support muscles and knows how to use them. Can’t wait to see what these guys do in the future.

[@SonicVisionX]

He isn't fit to be a pimple on Buckley's ass.

Hi all, loved this reaction/critique, as a layperson when it comes to music, (Can't read it, have a weak and tuneless voice myself). I am attracted to many different styles of music, but never really thought about what I like or why.

Looking forward to more, so I don't just say, "I know what I like and I like what I know." Thanks

[@dennisnicholson952]

During the 1970s and 1980s, I worked for a subcontractor at a nuclear power facility. Among my fellow employees were four young men who were members of a cover band called Borderline. Their lead singer, Scott Jones, could sing very well anything from Led Zeppelin to Queen to Thin Lizzie and others. I am quite sure that he never took any formal voice training but he was still able to sing and going to one of their gigs was quite entertaining.

[@cameronberg3302]

Wonder what it was like the first time he found out he could sing like this

[@dhaddine5472]

Michael Berg You don’t “start out” singing like this. This is very intentional. I feel he needs to tone down the distortion a bit.

[@geeleeggan]

In an interview with them they mentioned something about early on Josh doing some that high screeching type singing and the other guys going 'KEEP DOING THAT!" or something along those lines.

[@ellaha7504]

Rumor has it that one day when they were jamming out in the garage, they didn't have a mic set up so Josh has to sing really loud to be heard over the guitar/bass/drums. That's when they realized just how powerful his voice is and that it totally works for their music!
