Many voices has declined over decades of singing (which is OK), but Jon fell of a cliff over the course of MONTHS!
My theory (and nobody has disputed it yet) is that he either ignored it and/or got comfortable with his 'renaissance' in 2008 and stopped using the coach until it started going to shit mid-tour in 2013. I think the way he used his voice in this 5 year period contributed greatly and that was because Jon may not have had a vocal coach by his side. Either way, it's only his stupidity to blame.
Either way, I wouldn't advertise myself as a vocal coach by boasting Jon as my student  |
Yes ... Aerosmith has always played 15-18 songs sets, and U2 songs are not as demanding as Jovi’s ... and Jon has toured more than these guys playing 2.5 to 3 hours sets on a average basis ... and what’s worse: Jon had a great voice, but not a very good technique. Combine this with the overuse, it’s suicide.
