Schlitt's vocal on the Acoustic Set
Schlitt's vocal on the Acoustic Set
Does anyone else notice John Schlitt's slight crack in his voice as he sings the lines to No Doubt and the verse of Love ?? (I havent got the CD in the mail yet, but i noticed this on the inpop download movie)

I think John's voice sounds very good, but yes, they had to use that take because he messed up the words to No Doubt on one of the takes. Personally, I wish he'd sung the whole thing just as he did on the tour because I'm not that big a fan of Greg Volz myself. However, I understand many are, and why they did it that way.

LOL....You are probably right about them being hard wired! At the show i spoke w/ him and he said that did mess up some lyrics...but it would not be John if he didn't miss any!
So anyways...about the guys voices on the acoustic...
I felt like John did a pretty good job....although it did sound a bit tentative. You have to remember they did change the tempo of the songs and the fact that his voice was more exposed can make you uncomfortable when you are use to singing w/ loud guitars and drums behind ya! Greg's voice was rather nice...but shakey IMO..especially on "The Coloring Song!" "Grave Robber" was real shakey in my opinion and I am not sure why because at the show it seemed really good. I have to say that ths stuff is pretty petty...cause it was just a blessing to see them together on the same stage at the same time! It was priceless! Just my opinion!

I know that it was stated that John had to go back in the next day to re-dub some of the vocals. I think to some degree these songs are so "automatic" that he tends to lose his place. I think that was the case in the (seemingly) 14 times they had to re-start Beyond Belief. As I recall he kept forgetting the first line of the second verse. I thought that was odd, but then I downloaded the handycam recording of one of their concerts and he screwed it up there, too. They just don't stop at concerts.

Hey ya'll
Here's a quiz question
What song off of the Live CD did John mess up the words
1)Beyond Belief
2)Right Place
3)Midnight oil
4)Mine Field
What's funny is they did not go in and try to redo it.....LOL! I guess they just were in a hurry to get it out.

Aww...John's little lyrical mishaps are part of what makes him so real and endearing!
Perhaps one of the most clever was in Chicago. During "Beyond Belief" instead of singing "There's a deeper place to go where the road seems hard to hoe," he came up with "...where the boat is hard to row." Hey, at least it rhymed!
