I mean he did awesome vocal performances on Blaze Of Glory and here:
Bon Jovi - Blaze Of Glory (Live "Academy Awards" 1991) [HQ] - YouTube
he just delivers LIVE & is plain awesome singing-wise!
Could it be the age thing also?
He cant really sing old songs anymore but IMHO it seems there's also struggling with newer ones. |
First of all, the Behind The Music makes it seem like Jon blew out a chord... Jon lost his voice (similar to Laryngitis) for a short period due to over usage and his doctors gave him steroid shots to get the swelling down... In a similar comparison, it's like an athlete suffering from a severe sprain verses a break or fracture.
They repaired Jon's voice and he was good as gold again but just like any other athlete, age starts to take it's toll. Your voice is like any muscle that endures damage... It's eventually going to catch up to you with age.
IMO, I think his voice is the way it is today, not from the SWW Tour, but because Jon continued to use the wrong technique for 15+ years after. That, in combination with other factors. His voice deepened with age (as it does with most people), smoking, etc...
