Jon will have a little time for handle his voice before they release another studio album. If he is clever enough he'll quit smoking. But I think it's too late.

Whish I'm wrong

Sorry for my english. Greetings from Barcelona.
Since when was Prayer and epic song?

OK, so no, he can't reach the high notes any more. Not to the same extent. However, he can still do the rock vocals more than adequately IMO (Undivided for example, mostly the second verse. Or Keep The Faith live). But either way, all I see that as meaning is we're not going to get a remake of their earlier work. The songs will have to be modulated to take their new standards into account, and this is what will make the difference in their musical direction, which I think is a good thing. You don't need to scream to make a rock album y'know

Keep On Rockin'
