maturefan Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I've come late to this thread so forgive me if someone's already said this. People's voices get deeper as they get older. I don't know why people think his voice isn't as good as it used to be because he can't hit notes that are as high as the ones he could hit 20 years ago. Any sensible singer sings in a lower key as he/she gets older. This is why Paul McCartney always sounds embarassing live when he performs old songs; he is still singing in the same key he did when they were first recorded.

Jazzthief Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I'm sorry. As an apology, here's the only remaining video of the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NuRZ_Z2LLk Isn't there a bootleg or something somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I'm sure we can just ask the people who've uploaded the videos to upload them somewhere else, at least the sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maturefan Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 He can though, that's what makes this all so pointless. He sang 'Starlight' in a lower key on the 2nd Law Tour. I've only seen Muse once live but Matt sounded fantastic so I don't understand what everyone is talking about, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serpentsatellite Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Thank you guys for the vids. I had given up looking ages ago. I must say the muted vids are actually way more of a pain in my ass than the blocked ones. For some sick and twisted reason the mobile site doesn't show the muted warning, so you just sit there all day loading up videos with no sound.

Jazzthief Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 That effect on Matt's voice during the chorus bloody hell, better than Hulla (par the screams) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maturefan Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 They've done starlight in a lower key since 2006... I wonder why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I wonder why? Because it makes it easier to sing. Especially this part: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-j3clZRH3M&t=3m10s (original key) doesn't mean he can't hit the notes though. Tops at like F#4. It's just a crowd pleaser that is played and sung every single night, made much easier by lowering the key and letting the audience do most of the work. ie the perfect live song.

serpentsatellite Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 And the vast majority of the crowd probably never even notices, so why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Exactly. It just becomes easier for them to sing along too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
