I know. I was just busting your sac. Another tragic metal death, Criss Oliva.
Seems like it was just yesterday that I was watch the Power 30 on Much Music & I heard this during the opening of their show... Man, that was while ago.
Might seem that way to me becuase the guy was so young. I guess that is similar to the experience people back in the day had with Randy Rhoads?
 
Never liked his vocals much, I prefer way more the Howe era. Said that I must pay respect to the passing away of a very important figure in old school metal, 'Watch The Children Pray' is a true anthem whcih relevance in my own metal history is undeniable, and just for that...FAREWELL :( may you find peace of the other side.

Hey JD, if ya make it down to Florida drop me a line. I live right by the cemetary where Criss is buried. Actually my Dad is buried there also. I always give Criss some respects when I visit my fathers grave. I can't believe it's been almost 12 years since Criss died. Holy shit!

"Masterpeace" actually is were Wayne as a singer shines the best because unlike "The Dark" he actually learnt to sing. I agree that "Masterpeace" is not their finest hour, but is not the bad album most reviewers and critics try to diminish.

I guess we disagree then about this. I have seen Metal Church just after they released "The Dark" and David simply was fantastic on the vocals live. In fact it is that concert that is in my top 3 of best gigs I ever saw!

I also saw them live just after they released "Masterpeace" and his vocals were simply not up to par. They were really bad. He just could not handle the high notes or sounded bad on some of the other stuff.

I am not talking about personal taste here, but being able to reproduce the vocal melodies from the record in a live environment.

I think I met JD there as well last year. I'm not really sure of to much but I think I remember talking to both of you for a little while. Anyway, Can't wait for September to roll around. Should be another great time. Where are you guys staying this year?

I haven't decided. I have reservations at both The Residence Inn and The Granada. The Granada is so freaking convenient, but their security pesters the shit out of me.

You are certainly welcomed to hang out with me as well. I turn into a social whore @ PP. I bet I know 80 people there at least to a certain degree. THere is nothing like PP.

I disagree with your disagreement because I was referring to the albums, not the live presentation :p

Well, I love his singing on both "Metal Church" and "The Dark" and I think his vocals were average at best on "Masterpeace". Besides is the live situation not the real testing ground for the quality of any singer? I think it is.

In short, I disagree with your disagreement of my former disagreement :Spin: :yell: :lol:
