I had the chance to hear Joe warming up during DL's European tour in 2019. And I was amazed at what a strong voice he has, the man is a powerhouse. Even more amazing considering he keeps singing in that difficult style of his for over 40 years now, and they usually have extensive tours every year. All in one, I love his voice, it's one of the few voices unmistakable from the very first few words of any of their songs

So the "chirping" thing in the ages vocal you mentioned - I'm not sure since I don't think they've stated it publicly, but I have a theory it's pitch shifted with a sampler. So Def Leppard in the Pyromania days used a sampler called the "Fairlight CMI". The drums on Pyromania are samples from the Fairlight CMI. Def Leppard and Mutt Lange used it as a means to alter the arrangments long after the recording process, and I think it might have been done for practical reasons to help out Rick Allen too. However the drums aren't live. They are programmed in. As a result, you can put their songs in your DAW and if you can find the right Tempo, the whole song will hit that tempo perfectly. As an example, Photograph is at the tempo 123.43. Put it in your DAW at the tempo of 123.43 and the click will be perfectly in time with the whole song. Now, you were able to record and store samples into the CMI, and you were also able to alter the pitch of samples in real time. Using this feature, they were able to pitch shift vocals. What I think is happening with the "ages" vocals is Joe is actually sung "Ages" as one single G note, but then Mutt pitch shifted it to the A using the Fairlight sampler. This is why it has that "autotune" feel, because that pitch shift is too fast and too clean to be realistic. It's more like an effect. IIRC, I'm pretty sure I read the Fairlight had the ability to show you if a sample was perfectly on pitch, and you could edit that after the fact. I think using Fairlight, they were able to alter Def Leppards vocals to sound pitch perfect, but unlike Autotune, which is done automatically, everything done in the Fairlight had to be done by hand. I'm pretty sure sometimes, you can hear the pitch shifted vocals in some of the harmonies, sometimes the vocal tones sound a little high or low to be "real". I'm 99% sure they used the Fairlight to mess around with the vocals and kept it under wraps because the rock purists would complain about it. In other words, what is happening is like autotune, but it's like the precursor to it. At least, that's what I believe they're doing.

WOW! Another great analysis which I secretly wanted! I tried to sing in same way as Joe did but I was affraid of injury. When I sang high notes I usually overcompressed my voice and after a while it hurted a lot. I also had problem that I pushed my chest voice too high so I didn’t have mixed voice. All these problems solved your course and my voice is still growing. Thanks for all, Ken!

In regards to the vaguely "autotune" effect (14:30), producers in the 80s would "tune" vocals with the Eventide H910 (1974) or the Eventide H949 (1977). It is verified from multiple sources that Mutt owned an Eventide H910 by 1979 or 1980. Most of the "cheating" techniques of today (drum sampling, 'tuning vocals, etc...) where possible in the 80s, but were not ubiquitous, easily available, readily understood, or powerful enough to save a duff production.

They also had a Fairlight which they could sample a vocal line and adjust it. The harmonizer also had a keyboard controller.

Also the drums are from the Fairlight as well I think.

Hey Ken! DL is what i consider to be a great party band. They still put on an incredible show after all these years. Does Joe still hit the highs? No. Not even close. But any band that can live through their drummer losing an arm is phenomenal in my book! DL has so many hits i can't even count them all. Pour Some Sugar On Me is still a staple at every strip bar to this day! Like i said, great party band! Once again Ken amazing job on these isolated vocals videos. Definitely enjoying them! Keep 'em coming! Thank you.✌

Hi Ken, another great video, so spot on, you are talented at your work, I agree, because I like to listen to their music, but saw them live, sounded so much different, in a bad noisy way, was disappointed..... Keep up the great reviews you do, from down under, cheers mate.....

Wow, i had the same thought , singer is not who has best voice, but who is crazy and gutsy enough to come and sing in front of people. Also psychologically strong to control crowd, be interesting, and take any shi* from people

😲😲😲 Probably my all time favourite hard rock LP. Still remember buying the vinyl record in 1983. The production is simply incredible. There isn't a single mediocre song. Pete Willis your contribution to posterior albums were greatly missed. 🤍🖤🤎💙💚💛🧡🤪😝🤪😝🤪 🤘🤘🤘

Of course, he may have sung this differently before the producer said, "shorten that", "punctuate this", etc., so that it would sit over the guitars, etc. That takes a lot of guess work for the singer who thinks, "this seems sort of destructive to my singing". Plus, there are some killed frequencies that were I integral to the natural default of the original singing. It's like movie production - we're not meant to see what's partly destroyed to gel with other things.

I see a lot of people recommending the howard stern performance, but I'd suggest checking out their Love Bites-London to vegas, or Billy's got a gun from the same concert. He's getting his voice back, and sounds WAY better than some years ago. I remember you seeing a really bad performance of him from a couple years ago, you should check out his improvements
