We do a quick case study on the great Van Halen to look at the stellar advantages of matching lead tones!  Even the biggest David Lee Roth fans would admit Sammy Hagar had the superior vocal instrument- so why is the classic Van Halen era so much more iconic and beloved by fans?

The easy answer is showmanship of course.  DLR is the split-jumping motor mouth macdaddy who seduced an MTV generation, but there's something more relevant to the music itself.

I believe it's because David Lee Roth succeeded in matching Eddie Van Halen's lead guitar tone with his voice.  Almost all the great bands do this.  Joe Perry matching Steven Tyler, Robert Plant matching Jimmy Page, James Brown matching the lead brass, Bon Scott and Brian Johnson matching Angus Young's SG, Raymond Zarick matching Jim Morrison, Steve Vai and Randy Rhodes matching Ozzy Osbourne...

It's a delicate art with various hard vocal techniques that we can acquire and master both to imitate the greats, and to create great art of our own!

If you've ever wondered what makes the difference between seeing a band with the original line-up, or with changes made to the line-up and whether or not the fans feel like they're getting what they came for, this podcast episode is just for you!
