There's crazy story of Celine Deon going months without speaking. This was when she was Insanely huge after titanic and shit.. I just remember bizarre stories like that, that was just insane to hear.. then you hear her vocals alone and you understand.. it is a delicate instrument that is insured for God knows how much.

Absolutely true. A great singer Steve Perry from Journey lost his gift of a voice. He'll never hit those high notes again. Oh, but in his vocal prime, he was unbelievable. Your voice truly is a delicate instrument. A single scream could change it forever. Vocal cords tear with stress causing nodules to grow. Joan Rivers is an example of what happens with chronic stress and overuse of the vocal cords.

I went to Power Trip, both Axel and Brian Johnson threw out their voices in the first 1 or 2 songs. I spent literally thousands of dollars on tickets and air BNB. The experience of the concert was great and size of crowd was amazing and support for metal, but both of them going out like that brought it all down to a 6/10 show in the end. Thanks to Judas Priest and Iron Maiden there was still an incredible show to be seen. I suspect Axel and Brian probably both didnt prepare nearly enough or had too much to drink. It was a total disaster 🎉

I'm reminded of that scene in the movie Rock Star, where the main character, Izzy, meets Bobby Beers for the first time, and Beers rattles off a list of all the strict disciplines that he adheres to as a member of Steel Dragon. I thought he was just being ridiculous and snobby, but when I listen to Draiman, I realize just how accurate they were with the portrayal of Beers' lifestyle as a vocalist. For better or for worse, now I want to go watch that movie again.

They said I would never be able to get off of what I was on That I’d always have to dose to get through my day! Wrong because in the darkness that feeling of needing more shines through! Thank you so much David and the rest of the band disturbed. You all have literally helped me through so much stress so much anxiety so much addiction so thank you from the bottom of my heart.
