Drums absolutely right on the vibe - nice open playing Bo, but the vocals need a lot of work.
Funny thing, he's a pretty quiet guy and doesn't offer his opinion too much. The general vibe I get is that we're all walking on egg shells afraid of pissing off the leader (bass player). So without flat-out saying it, I'm gonna keep posting these examples and maybe they'll start talking about it among themselves. Once they square themselves away, I'll start singing too. I don't want to add to the train wreck.I think the guitar player hears it. He gave weird staring looks at the singer and bass player when they were harmonizing "and we've got to get ourselves back to the garden".
Before the solo at the end of the song it's obvious. Watch his face and body language. I'm pretty sure he knows.
I don’t think any kind of effects would help.Wow the vocals kill everything. Im not a singer but i certainly know bad singing when i hear it. Maybe add some reverb or something to that dudes mic to help he is so flat and off key. Great drumming as always man. I have been enjoying all of the videos from this gig.
..but the vocals need a lot of work..
This is why I’m surprised they’re booked as much as they are. And in my previous thread about speaking out about this vocal atrocity, some suggested I just be quiet as if I’m being hypersensitive. Well, I’m posting these videos on social media and hopefully they’ll get enough of their own friends to say something....
so I’m being passive-aggressive about it.
Now you know.Thats quite an understatement in this case..
In my opinion is not ok to go on stage like this..
At least i would not..
No. The ones the girl sings are ok, she’s not quite as pitchy, but the delivery could be better. I’m sorry, I come from Disney so I’m just used to everybody nailing their stuff. I’m definitely taking the money.Well if there was any question as to your sensitivity about this before, ...... There can be none now . He’s not a singer , maybe over time he’ll get better but I don’t think it’s fixable in the short term . Not without getting a new singer . Are all the songs vocals equally as bad ? Good luck Bo .
Good luck. Until they demonstrate a desire to improve, progress isn't likely. And if they're booked/busy/successful, they're even less likely to perceive the need for improvement, or take outside advice.This is why I’m surprised they’re booked as much as they are.

That’s just it. We all have in-ears. I’m also the sound provider so my console can run all the in-ears we need. This is another thing that makes me scratch my head.I would only ask that you ask the singers to procure themselves IEMs. Everything about their deficiencies implies that they cannot hear themselves.
Your playing was really nice.
Bo, do they have control of their own IEM balance?That’s just it. We all have in-ears. I’m also the sound provider so my console can run all the in-ears we need. This is another thing that makes me scratch my head.
