Happy Posting

Ryan has a man-crush.

Anthony Green is awesome.

But he has two pitches:
High and beautiful.
Angry and passioned.

No variety in his vocals.

How can you say his vocals have no variety? The man can literally hit any note he wants... and no two of his projects sound the same. He's probably one of THE most versitial vocalists out there.

I'll have Meg comment further on this... she knows way more about singing than I do. Anyone who has a good amount of experience will be quick to tell you that Anthony is on an entirely different level when compared to most other vocalists that a decent amount of people think of as 'good.'

what is anthony green i dont even

Anthony Green's coloratura is by far the best I've heard...ever.

Ningage, on Oct 14 2009, 03:19 PM, said:

Yes, it is true that those are only 'two pitches'. Why? Because they're too general! You can clearly narrow it down even further. But for the sake of the argument, let's just zoom in to what you've provided.

Let me ask this: do you even know what building blocks it requires to attain such pitches?

Just by examining the first minute of the song "Holding Someone's Hair Back", despite its structure (some parts have almost every note of a syllable different from the previous and the next) it blows my mind how he hits every single note perfectly without taking a snatch-breath, or the aid of falsetto, crescendo, and decrescendo which most vocalists rely on whenever they're "trying" to sing similar structures. Sure de/crescendo and falsetto are all good techniques for adding texture to the song and not to mention a good way to make a singer's job somewhat easier and avoid being flat/sharp. But guess why Anthony didn't use them... because he didn't need to! He flawlessly hit every single damn note just by using his natural voice and was still able to add texture to the song. And may I remind you that that's what Anthony can do only in a minute. Guess what he can do all through out an entire album!

If you don't know what it takes to make something, tangible or not; you won't be able to fully appreciate how it's done. If you do, then there is no doubt in my mind that Anthony Green will most certainly put you in inescapable and perpetual awe.

In short, you don't know shit about singing let alone appreciation. Oh well!

There. Yah happy now?

I don't recall calling him a bad singer, simply having little to no variety between angry and soft.

And I fail to see why this should be stickied other than the Mod seems to fap to this guy a lot.

Ningage, on Oct 15 2009, 05:59 PM, said:

Yet you just got proven wrong. He has tons of variety. You saying otherwise just tells me that you have an untrained ear...

Ningage, on Oct 15 2009, 05:59 PM, said:

...yeah and?

To be honest there are a few other AG related topics that were old and considering old topics get randomly bumped from time to time I figured I'd make an official AG thread and sticky it to avoid having more than one active AG topic.

Besides, it's Anthony Green... does one really need an excuse to sticky a topic about him? ...I think not because he's just that amazing.

Quote

It sounds like that...for a pair of untrained ears! Anthony's got a very distinct voice and unlike most singers, he doesn't really use any techniques mainly because he can pull anything off without using a single one. Also, I doubt that he needs effects to make it 'seem' like he has a vast range. Pushing quality aside, there are little to no differences between studio and live versions vocal-wise. Seriously though, this man does have quite an impressive range.

Quote

*facepalm* He's not taking advantage of anything specially of his voice for he actually knows how to use it. And he doesn't have to 'push it' as well for he can already practically do anything.

Ningage, on Oct 15 2009, 04:59 PM, said:

You not being able to see the reason 'why' just proves that you just lack knowledge (regarding this subject at least) to ultimately realize what he's got and what he's capable of compared to other people's abilities.

Quote

Simply because he can hit a lot of notes in the little tones he uses doesn't automatically give him tons of variety.

Quote

Sounds more like trying to make up excuses for him not to try harder.

Quote

Fail, fail, fail, fail, fail.
So he deserves a sticky for merely being good?

There are plenty of better artists that deserve stickies, if they're just made for putting on good bands/artists.
Can I get a Miles Davis sticky in the house?

Ningage you need to STFU. The only 'fail' in this post is you continuing to talk out of your ass about a subject you couldn't even be bothered to learn the basics of. Meg has already proven you wrong beyond a shadow of a doubt, and if you keep up this nonsense of yours I promise you that you won't like the outcome.

Lol'd.

i see a lot of fat chicks! but one at the back is hawt! <333

To the topic
Sounds pop to me, likes the riff, but dislike the way he sings... pop star like.

Ryan, on Oct 16 2009, 12:06 PM, said:

Yet you continually choose to ignore other topics I bring up?

Just keep the mindless fapping to your singers, buddy boy.

DeAgon, on Oct 16 2009, 01:49 PM, said:

I don't recall saying he wasn't epically awesome.

Ningage, on Oct 16 2009, 05:22 AM, said:

THAT'S THE STATEMENT I WAS WAITING FOR RIGHT THERE! I hear that A LOT from people who bases their perspective on generalization. Seriously what part of "Anthony's got a very distinct voice" don't you understand? And NO he doesn't hit 'a lot' of notes; he hits ALL of them perfectly and I think you should be careful of what you say. If you have a working brain even with a voice to match it with (which I highly doubt btw for you really don't know jack shit about singing), I wouldn't dare to consider anything 'little' if I myself can't even touch it or come anywhere close to such peeks which in this case are tones that Anthony can reach...through various ways, mind you!

Ningage, on Oct 16 2009, 05:22 AM, said:

Try 'harder'? So you're not satisfied with what he's providing? Why am I not surprised... oooh yeah because you don't have any idea how hard it is to do what he's doing

Ningage, on Oct 16 2009, 05:22 AM, said:

No, he deserves a sticky for being phenomenal. You just fail, fail, fail, fail, fail to see, be it, appreciate his talent.

Ningage, on Oct 16 2009, 05:22 AM, said:

'Better'? HAH!!! Not even remotely close! Before you claim something, please try to provide a legitimate argument to make it somewhat believable even just for a little bit. Who knows, maybe some n00bs might actually buy your box of bullshit.

Ningage, on Oct 16 2009, 03:01 PM, said:

At a certain angle, that specific act can be considered a favor because every time you post a response trying to defend your balderdash stand, you just make yourself look more and more of an idiotic fuckwit as to what you sounded like prior to your previous posts. Just when we thought you can't get any more stupid, you continuously provide us almost unbelievable LOLWUT's in every post you make Good job!


Douche.

Ningage, on Oct 16 2009, 04:17 PM, said:

And your continuous stubbornness that's being caused by your lack of knowledge is rather more astounding. Also, if you can't get the basic principles of what I'm trying to say, what makes you think you'd be able to grasp the rest considering that you already failed to realize and understand the point of repetition to begin with.

"You do nothing to argue against my points except for call me stupid and repeat the exact.same.points"
I don't really consider your balderdash "points" for you can't even supply concrete evidences or at least a legitimate explanation to support your poppycock declarations simply because there is none. Hence there's really nothing for me to prove wrong for you don't have shit in your hands and not to mention your brain...granted you have one that is.

Ningage, on Oct 16 2009, 04:17 PM, said:

Ah the hypocrite speaks. Well if that's the case, just think of how much I feel sorry for you.

Ningage, on Oct 16 2009, 04:17 PM, said:

No, once you're the best at something, you don't really need to try harder to be better until someone beats you (which is not gonna happen any time soon) unless you just wanna beat yourself

Ningage, on Oct 16 2009, 04:17 PM, said:

The lengths you're willing to go to make excuses for the sake of defending nothing goes into the part where it's either really hilarious or really pathetic.

Ningage, on Oct 16 2009, 04:17 PM, said:

To be Anthony-Green good to be more specific. Which is why there's no other stickies regarding this category other than him.

Says a 15 year old faggot who doesn't even know the difference between "you're" and "your".

Lol. What have I been missing?
