0:10
then the older you get
0:16
the high part of your voice is.
0:18
>> But the lower part of your voice is
0:20
still strong. I've developed that low
0:24
baritone part of my voice since Maiden
0:27
and over my solo career.
0:31
James Hetfield did this like 30
0:35
when he was struggling with some of the
0:37
things. It's nice to have the recording
0:40
concert pitch, but live
0:43
you don't really need that. But it it's
0:46
a lot to get to that part. And what it
0:49
means is your voice, which is so
0:52
vulnerable anyway, you cannot restring
0:55
your voice. You can't go to the shop and
0:59
go, "Oh, another set of 13 gauge
1:02
strings, please, for the voi- You can't
1:05
do that, man. When when it's gone, you
1:09
>> Horrible medication and stuff like this.
1:12
So, you must not go there.
1:14
And what happens is you go, "Okay,
1:21
You can't tell the difference most You
1:23
can't tell the difference.
1:25
>> But but on your voice, it's suddenly
1:28
like taking your car If you drive the
1:30
car or a motorcycle, it's suddenly like
1:33
going, "Okay, from 200 km an hour
1:37
how long that petrol, that diesel, how
1:40
long it will last? Oh, they've got to
1:43
Take it down to 150."
1:46
>> to last a lot like It's just as simple
1:48
as that. So, basically you you're TAKING
1:53
"Oh. Oh, actually, yeah. Oh, I can Oh,
1:56
and here's the other benefit.
2:02
You get closer to the talking area of
2:06
my voice. And that's the bit with the
2:09
real emotion. And so, I'm able to use
2:13
that now. I think about it when I'm
2:15
doing my recording live. I'm always at
2:17
one step down and the pressure's off
2:22
my voice and I'm able to put more of the
2:25
emotion into the song. And well, that
2:29
works for me. It works for James Het-
2:32
for James Hetfield and quite a few other
2:35
singers. Some people take it down half a
2:39
>> Some full step. Tim Owens, he does a
2:42
full step. Udo, he does a full step as
2:46
well. And we did a tour together, Udo,
2:49
Tim, me, Mike Vescera from Loudness.
2:53
And we all had a full step down, man. I
2:56
just thought after that, oh, I've got to
2:58
keep this. Feels so good. And some of
3:01
the Some of the notes where you'd be,
3:03
oh, it it it's quite thin-sounding.
3:07
Suddenly, they're much bigger and
3:11
>> So, that's it. And And it's age, man.
3:13
You just got You have to go, all right,
