britheguy Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 Well that's made my day! has to be one of the funniest posts I seen since the "I don't drink for up to a week before a gig" one.A big pipe should do the trick....but I don't recommend you do it as it's bad for your health.

The Byre Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Smoking: allegedly the best way to develop vocals chords like Mark Lanegan and Tom Waits forbidden love child.But how well does it work? And what's the best thing to smoke to achieve such growling tones? A fuckin' pipe?Let's support or dispell some myths folks.I have recorded people who smoke and people who do not smoke and in my experience (of some 38 years of recording vocals) is that there are only two differences that I have noticed:1. Smokers are more likely to sing flat.2. Smokers who sing a great deal often get cancer of the throat in later years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
