Give Arnel a Break

[Yoda Sonic Fighter]

I don't think he can survive another 3 years of touring even with all the backup singer's they have. it won't stop his voice from being wasted away. I saw what happened with ''Steve Augeri'' at one point they had five band members singing, and it still didn't save his voice. I'm not trying to be mean to him. just Feel bad for him I would hate for him to lose his dream!!!

arnel should’ve been laid off in 2012, that’s when his voice started to have problems and now it’s even worse. his singing technique isn’t healthy either, if you notice he screeches notes out and forces notes that he can’t get easily. the same goes with steve augeri, but his was worse because he got to the point where he would sing and nothing came out

Definitely one of the hardest catalogs to sing, and it leaves every singer that takes on the mantle a bit rougher than they went in. I've always said that moderation is key, and that applies to lead singers as well!! Take more time off.......it seems like a no brainer, but Neal never quite got that memo or at least not the sheer importance of it. Once a singer's voice is burned or pushed too far, it takes forever to heal, if ever! A guitar player will maybe have finger cramp, broken string, whatever, it ain't the same! lol
