hell yes he has a sexy voice...and im a guy...i wouldnt mind it being acoustic for some reason i think it would work best if it was acoustic...it'd be cool if it was full band too though

poprocks&coke 12-20-2005 06:17 PM

He's got a really deep singing voice. On Mercy Me he's singing like an octave lower than Matt.

Oz Rembrandt 12-20-2005 06:24 PM

And Dan usually sings an Octave Higher. Dan sings the best.

HitHardDrums55 12-20-2005 08:58 PM

i think i might matts and dereks voice over dan...thats just me though...he's got a cool voice and all, but the lisp gets kinda weird after a while

Chilly-Bean-Bop 12-20-2005 09:13 PM

1. Derek's voice
2. Dan's voice
3. Matt's voice

Is that because you have like £1.50 in the whole world? Stop buying so much donkey pr0n.

Firecracker 12-21-2005 05:53 AM

When does Derek sing?

Chilly-Bean-Bop 12-21-2005 01:48 PM

Mercy Me. Does he sing backing vocals in This Could Be Love? I'm pretty sure that thats him. On some of the music videos, he sings a little backup in The Poison. And I think that he sings a little bit on Queen of Pain.

Pf, its £4 nub, but I cant take it out of my account...

Also, Derek sings on loads of stuff on Good Mourning/Crimson

HitHardDrums55 12-21-2005 03:24 PM

derek sings a part thats quite easy to hear on Dont Say You Wont...i think him and Dan sing at the same time in that part? somebody correct me if i'm wrong...

does anybody know how to get to the stuff on the deluxe edition of crimson that it says are on the disc? (sadie, time to waste, mercy me, i was a prayer)

Oz Rembrandt 12-21-2005 04:02 PM

Rumour on the Blood Pact: Burn is the next Single

Also, yeah, buy the CD.

HitHardDrums55 12-21-2005 05:04 PM

i have it, but when i put it in my computer theres only the music videos for time to waste and mercy me...it says theyre live recordings of those 2 and i was a prayer

Chilly-Bean-Bop 12-21-2005 05:18 PM

Why Burn? I don't like Burn all that much. I mean, it's okay, but i'd rather prefer Prevent This Tragedy or something along the lines of that to be a single.

HitHardDrums55 12-21-2005 05:23 PM

i think burn is cool...its really different sounding, they did a great job with it in my opinion...its also a fun drum song...a lot more complex than it sounds, but still not too hard

Oz Rembrandt 12-21-2005 05:25 PM

I think Sadie or the Poison would have been better choices.

And I dunno whats up with your CD

Corrected for accuracy. I have no problems with any of their voices, and frankly the band are at their most amazing when all three of them sing together.


But even if we take it at the two main singers, I'd still put them both equal. I mean, if you listed amazing Alk3 songs that Dan sings on, and the same for Matt, I think you'd come up with about the same number. They both rock, in other words.

HitHardDrums55 12-21-2005 07:31 PM

yeah im shocked they havent done a video for sadie yet...apparently matt loves the song cause i know he said the version on the one man army split was basically just a demo for the new album and theyre glad they put it on there...

Don't they all sing in the chorus on Emma? I know that Matt and Dan do, but I watched an acoustic version, and I think that all of them sang.

billiejoe84 12-21-2005 08:44 PM

No idea. I haven't seen many Alk3 vids (the one I have is Radio live at the Warped tour... give me your email if you want it... it is ace). Upon listening to Emma just now, I can hear 3 voices in the chorus: Dan's main vocal, Matt singing a 5th above, and another voice singing about an octave below, which I presume is Derek.

Also, speaking of that album, I never realised until recently the song 'Donner Party (All Night)' is about an actual historic event. How morbidly fascinating.

HitHardDrums55 12-21-2005 09:03 PM

get the video of take lots with alcohol on warped its amazing...its the same tour they had radio on...the whole dvd is pretty sick actually...

what historical event is donner party all night about?

Chilly-Bean-Bop 12-21-2005 09:05 PM

Yeah, Donner Party was some indians or whatever traveling and then they died from some big tragedy...can't remember what it was.

Sure, the video would be great. [email]chillbee@cfl.rr.com[/email]
Thanks.

billiejoe84 12-21-2005 09:17 PM

The Donner party was some explorer guys in California and got lost in the mountains... and ended up having to eat each other to stay alive. There are some lyrical references to this in the song (...final resting place in pieces...).


Yeah.


/me sends video

Chilly-Bean-Bop 12-21-2005 09:19 PM

Ew cannibals.

And I used to find that song enjoyable.

billiejoe84 12-21-2005 09:23 PM

Well, you know how the Trio love to write about morbid stuff... It's not really surprising.

[/QUOTE]

This is all true. I worked out from the reference to the Donner Party in the Shining...

@ HardHitDrums - There IS a video for Sadie... Blood Pact exclusive though...

and yeah, I agree James, all they're voices are perfect, especially together. Dan sings the love songs most, Matt the darker stuff (usually). One time you can hear Derek "sing" is during the break in Donner Party - You hear him breathing into the mic.

Chilly-Bean-Bop 12-22-2005 11:20 AM

[quote="Oz Rembrandt"]There IS a video for Sadie... Blood Pact exclusive though...[/quote]

Is it one of those live show videos? Or one like Time to Waste or Mercy Me?

Firecracker 12-22-2005 11:47 AM

I knew that. The Donner Party.

Chilly-Bean-Bop 12-22-2005 11:50 AM

That video of Radio was great. Matt looked hilarious when he was singing. I guess that that was when his voice was really bad. Hm.

Drop The Baby 12-22-2005 11:58 AM

Didn't look funny to me, just looked like he was putting a lot of effort into the show. Maybe you don't like that?

Could anyone post some more interesting story lines behind some Alkaline Trio songs, i know thye've got some good ones but i've forgotten a lot of them?

Firecracker 12-22-2005 12:18 PM

It's alright, pretty boring imo.
