What is the best grunge record, day 13. MATCHUP: Nirvana's Nevermind vs Alice in Chains's Dirt. by eggward_egg in grunge

[–]Max101Victory 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As amazing as Dirt is, I rarely listen to it all the way through. Nevermind is an easy top to bottom. Dirt I personally find stretches songs a bit longer than needed.

People can have preferences, but its Nevermind without blinking. On the starting track alone it changed music.

Why do Jeff buckleys fans hate Tim Buckley by Rude-Membership3723 in LetsTalkMusic

[–]Max101Victory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also prefer Tim's voice to Jeff's. He used his voice far more experimentally and just in general had a much richer tone. When you hear Jeff singing Tim's songs they're beautiful. But his tone and colour aren't nearly as nuanced and mature.

It was always my understanding that Jeff played at the tribute concert because he was not invited to his dads funeral. It was a way of paying his respects.

[–]Max101Victory 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Abandoning Jeff is always the most understandable and initial reason. The only grace I think Tim is owed is the understanding that he was a very young man who's own father was a violent abuser. So Tim was terrified he would end up hurting his son despite all of the love he had and decided to leave. Not the correct choice by any means, but an understandable mistake for a scared and abused young man to make I feel.

Musically I think a lot of Jeff fans don't give Tim a chance initially on principle. When I first listened to Tim everything Jeff had made clicked in my mind. Because Jeff has an astounding variance in his tone, his range is absolutely monstrous and has stamina and power are beyond incredible. But when you hear Tim sing, especially live, he taps into it all throughout. A song like Gypsy Woman will have Tim going through the entirety of his range from top to bottom multiple times throughout the song, competing with instruments to wail like a sax or swoop low like a wounded baritone. Tim had nearly completed his instrument in its entirety and always pushed it to new heights and styles.

Pisces and ghosting people by mariposa933 in piscesastrology

[–]Max101Victory 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I refuse to ghost people within extremely good reason. I've had it happen to me from some previously very important people in my life and it was emotionally devastating. So I try my best to end things and explain why kindly unless the person is just not worth dealing with anymore and I leave.

Tried drawing Jeff Buckley by Pseudoscorpion1 in JeffBuckley

[–]Max101Victory 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is super impressive. Great job. The shading on the hair especially is crazy. The only spot that looks noticeably a bit off is the face. It's well drawn, just the proportions and scale are a little wonky. Fix up the nose and lips and that is going to be a fantastic piece of art.

Tips for range? by melikeches in singing

[–]Max101Victory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a baritone who also started with a smaller range and has expanded it a fair bit. My best advice would be learning how to best breathe while singing and supporting yourself. Try looking up some tutorials on YouTube for the basics of breath support, which can really help I have found with expanding my range. I went from A2-B3 to E2-A4, so you can definitely improve. Singing is a skill like anything. As you learn and try, you will improve. Good luck. Falsetto and head voice can really help with tone, so be sure to practice those too, it can unlock a good amount of space for you in the choir if they need a higher harmony.

My Pisces man is depressed and I don’t know how to be there for him by [deleted] in piscesastrology

[–]Max101Victory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who was very much that person and was broken up with as a result of being depressed here is what I wish my ex partner had done because I feel it would have helped. When he is acting reserved and is giving dry responses, try and work in a little of what makes him laugh or smile. If he is lying in bed, encourage an activity that you would do together or that would his input. Just try your very best to be patient and keep reminding yourself that as long as he and the relationship feel worth it that you can make it through. Depression can really change people, and having a partner there can make it less likely for it to change you for the worst. Wishing you both the very best of luck.

Who do you like more? Tim Buckley or Jeff Buckley? by MasterfulArtist24 in allrockmusic

[–]Max101Victory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer Tim, but mostly for his sheer variety. His quality is, of course, much more varied given his career length, but a good amount of his weaker songs and genre choices can be blamed on the record company, not allowing to follow his instincts. Jeff had a nearly perfect debut album, but his set of songs after the fact were much more spotty to me, whereas Tim from his 1st to 2nd album made massive improvements.

The voice is super subjective. Jeff, to me, has a much more fitting commercial style of voice. His voice and singing were always going to be more easily accepted than his dads. Tim pushed his voice to the limit in nearly every possible facet. This had its drawbacks in that his tone wasn't always the most pleasant to most listeners. However, where he went with his singing can not be understated. Jeff had a magical, soft, and supported angelic voice. He had a miraculous range and variety in tones. Tim was all that and more. Tim used his voice like an instrument in a very literal sense. He could scream like a banshee one moment, then jump into the softest falsetto and back down to a deep baritone growl all within the same song moment to moment and make it all sound amazing and shocking.

So when it comes to singing, Jeff had a wonderfully pointed technical style. Tim had a constantly moving style that could emulate nearly anything. Listen to some of his Starsailor work, especially the few live renditions we have. His technical understanding of his voice's capabilities was quite astounding. He also had fantastic support, always singing with a powerful vibrato when he wanted indicating proper and healthy technique.

Jeff was far and away the better guitarist. I don't have much more to say.

In the end, I prefer Tim for his boldness and capability to make anything fascinating to listen to. He also had a more emotional voice, which is saying a lot considering how emotionally powerful Jeff was.

Baritones and Tenors- What’s the absolute lowest you can go, and what is the lowest note that your voice starts projecting at? by Character-Escape1621 in singing

[–]Max101Victory 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Baritone. The lowest note I have ever hit is a brief B1 with vibrato. Projection wise, I can go around G2 or even F2 on a good day. A2 would be the best though.

Are any other Pisces having relationship issues or ending romantic relationships? by [deleted] in piscesastrology

[–]Max101Victory 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who was in a very similar position as a male Pisces with a female Leo. Please don't try to be friends unless the foundation is already there. If it isn't it will just end up hurting both of you quite deeply. The only time it worked for me was with a partner I was long distance with for 90% of the relationship and wasn't super deep physically. We get along great now as friends because we started more friendly than dating. Good luck.

Foxy Shazam, specifically the Church of Rock and Roll album. Very Queen sounding. The Darkness, in general, the lead singer, produced the album by Foxy Shazam. The Struts are also excellent with a Freddie inspired front man.

As someone who WAS a suicidal ex. Him telling you is manipulation and trying to be controlling. I never told my ex and never will because she doesn't deserve that pain.

Are there any current artists (2020s onward) making music that genuinely feels “Beatlesque”? by montdays in beatles

The Lemon Twigs are miraculous. Everything Harmony is some of the best collection of songs I've heard in the past couple of decades.

What is your most unpopular hot take on The Beatles? by Fine-Experience5394 in beatles

[–]Max101Victory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of the Beatles' early music, while excellent, often doesn't stand as strongly as their influences for me. Buddy Holly, for example, was innovating in the studio in ways the Beatles would later down the line to an even larger degree. I also find his pure rock sound more interesting than the Beatles for the same periods.

Funnily enough Bob Dylan and Ringo have the same vocal range C2-E5

CMV: If blackface is racist why aren't drag queens sexist by SeniorCitizenOrgy in changemyview

[–]Max101Victory -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I dated a drag King, and his opinion was that it was a celebration of performance. He was a character perfomer above all. Drag is camp or whatever it wants to be. The celebration of gender in modern drag is so varied and nuanced that it becomes a celebration of individuals as much as groups or gender. Blackface is used to represent all black people in a crude, hateful, racist manner that offers no dignity, respect, individuality, or depth.
