I doubt Mickey wastes his time reading these comments but if he does happen to browse through here, Mickey: I have never heard someone sound EXACTLY the same as they did 30+ years ago but, dude, you sound friggin' amazing here. Absolutely amazing! It's almost uncanny to look at you and hear the same voice from 1979. Congrats on staying healthy and keeping that voice healthy.

Mickey at his prime was a top twenty vocalists of all time and with the right band would have been recognized as such by the masses. Forty years into a career nobody, and I mean nobody can touch this guy. Clean living is one thing, but genetics gave him pipes that were a lottery ticket and he definitely cultivated made the most of it.

@terrydickson3153 4 жыл бұрын

Maintaining a healthy voice is as much about over all lifestyle .What you eat and drink .physical fitness etc.Most singers don't have the discipline.The voice is more complex than people realize..Drugs and alcohol being the worse of all for a voice.So with most of the bands from then and now don't wanna give up the partying.the voice. Pays the price.Cocaine was a big no no! It numbs the vocal chords which cause over straining the vocal chords.and opens the air way twice as far which gives you a false sense of power behind the voice.Jeff Keith from tesla is a good example.

I saw Mickey Thomas perform with Starship way back in the early 90's at the Illinois State Fair along with 38 Special, Head-East and REO Speedwagon. I was amazed to hear this performance from 2013 because the man can still reach for those notes and nail them! So many great singers from the 70's and 80's can't make that range anymore and it was awesome to see Mickey Thomas hit it and hold it. A lot of us discuss the great vocalists from our pasts, like Steve Perry (Journey), Jimi Jameson/Dave Bickler (Survivor), Brad Delp (Boston), Geoff Tate (Queensryche) Robin Zander (Cheap Trick), but I for one, often forget about Mickey Thomas. After hearing this performance, he definitely deserves a strong mention. Thanks for posting this.

@MrMike9158 8 жыл бұрын

+Lesley Morgan Hey Lesley, I'm so sorry it took 3 months to get back to you. Medical issues are a bitch when you get old. I agree with you 100%. Robin Zander of Cheap Trick is still hitting his notes and Mickey Thomas is hitting his as well. He is a great vocalist who is very under-rated today. I don't know how often he tours so I don't know how much he gets to rest his voice but he sounds good here. Thanks for posting!

@valmarsiglia 8 жыл бұрын

+MrMike9158 He's still got a set of pipes, doesn't he? A lot better than the clip of Starship at Magic Casino, where the guy is singing a third or fourth lower.

@MrMike9158 8 жыл бұрын

+Mariano Paniello Oh ya. I found out that guy at Magic Casino was David Freiberg, and he actually wrote the song. But at the time it was written, it was written for Mickey Thomas and Grace Slick's vocals, not his. And Mickey just kills the vocals on this, even today, but David, sadly, just butchers them at the casino. I wish he would have let Cathy take more of the higher parts because she is a dead ringer for a young Grace Slick when she wants to be and her range is insane. She's a Chicago native that's been singing a long time. Hey, thanks for posting my friend. Later.
