(Idolator) Audio Way back there was David Lee Roth's vocal-only take of "Runnin' with the Devil." Some kind soul now brings us Dave's take for "Hot For Teacher." Look out for the perfect "WAUUUUUUUU"   (idolator.com) divider line 41

There is a shiatLOAD of reverb on that.

Although useful in pointing out how imperative to the Van Halen sound it was to have Mike back Dave up.

That is awesome! great to use as an intro to the whole song!

"So this is what it sounds like inside David Lee Roth's head 24-7?"

I cracked up at this comment on the link page.

That was actually palatable, as opposed to his normal posturing.

This would make an awesome addition to a DLR soundboard. If someone was to make one.

Yet more proof that Roth never could sing. Mike always was the melody in the vocals. With Sammy, too.

Roth is one of the all-time great entertainers, though. He could entertain a crowd off a flat bed truck.

Not to split hairs, but it sounds more like echo/delay than reverb and possibly a harmonizer on the chorus.

Well, I enjoyed that way more than I expected to.

Good find subby.

That's just Britney's sub-audible (supposed to be anyway) vocalizing she has to do when she lip-syncs to a song where her dancing is the important part of the show. Anyone who lip-syncs while dancing sounds like that. It has to be loud enough to give the illusion she's actually singing, yet not so loud the first row in the audience can hear her.

It's cool to hear the noise gate kick on and off.

I heard the master vocal from "Runnin" a while back and now this one... I have to say those are some bad-assed vocals. There aren't a lot of dudes around in pop music today that can hit like that.

As far as the backing vox, I've always thought they sounded a little flat on the finished track, and now I'm positive. It doesn't really take away from anything, but when it's covered up it's hard to tell.

Cool find!

Wonder if they ll do a mash up with this, like they did with the "runnin with the devil" audio and some Beatles footage. It was well done

/I enjoyed this one a lot more than "runnin"

I liked this (new window) solo a lot too.

Now I want to hear the vocal track for "Panama."

 
bestie1 2008-12-04 02:34:50 AM  
For both songs I just keep thinking: "Why is this interesting to people". David Lee Roth w/o a band sounds like David Lee Roth w/o a band.

He hit all his notes. It sounds weird without the rest of tracks but so would the any almost any single instrument in a symphony without the others. Other then the fact that you can hear him breath on the track it isn't really surprising. To make the vocals work A Cappella it needs a different arrangement, duh.

 
zappawizard 2008-12-04 02:57:46 AM  
maybe we could hear a vocal only version of "Happy Trails"
oh wait.... nevermind

 
zappawizard 2008-12-04 03:04:01 AM  
a couple of times he sounds like Lil' Jon on the Runnin' With Devil one!

"Runnin' with the Devil" is lots better.

Anyone have the links to where they put a fake, and terrible guitar solo on top of rock videos?

peewinkle: NorCalLos: Not to split hairs, but it sounds more like echo/delay than reverb and possibly a harmonizer on the chorus.

I can't speak for both of us, but I am not.

Reverb and echo are both diffent applications of delay, which is a delayed audio signal. Reverb is a very specific type of delay which involves many "reflections" with no noticeable spaces between them so that you don't hear it as an echo, but a slightly more resonant version of the dry signal, as if it were in a reverberant room. The other chief difference between reverb and echo/delay is the time of arrival of the first reflection. If the first reflection arrives, say less than 50 milliseconds after the original signal, it won't be heard as a distinct echo, but a reverb. More than 100 milliseconds will be a discernible echo effect. (I could be a little off on the times, as I'm not an expert, but have been a hobbyist for quite some time and can record serviceably enough to record my own music and that of friends satisfactorily.)

In the DLR song, you can definitely hear individual echoes.

Regarding the chorus, I wasn't as admant about what I was hearing because I wasn't really sure. Since I wasn't able to isolate the lead vocal and the backup vocal, I wasn't exactly sure what was going on. I only listened to the track once and not very loud on my dell computer speakers at the office.

Would you like to support your 'tude or were you just being a dildo?

Damit!
What I was trying to say was...
I think the chorus effect is just over-dubbing.
