I've mentioned this repeatedly in the past, but finally decided to start an official thread about this issue.
Notice, on the Pros and cons of hitchiking album, as well as the following tours from 1984-1985 that Roger's voice is generally speaking in good condition. He is able to convey that since of power in his voice that was evident on such albums as The Wall, Animals, The Final Cut, and The pros and cons of hitchiking.
We fastforward 2 years from 1985 to 1987. We find Roger's voice in entirely different condition. Not only can he not scream anymore, he sounds like an old man.
Did something happen to him, other than the fact that he aged 2 years? Did he suffer health problems of any kind?
Roger's voice change: 1984-1987

It wasn't too good at Live 8. I personally think it's because he is just getting older, and that plus maybe too much screaming, and a lack of anger/need to scream now. I mean come on..hes turned from angry young, screaming, man to reasonably laid back, classical opera man, although - the opera did deal with violent issues. Meh, I dunno.

especially if you don't exercise your voice in that time. Consider how quickly you can get out of shape physically if you stop exercising. Same holds true for the voice.Rambutan wrote:2 years isnt that short a time...The Gunner's Dream wrote:Thanks for everyone's input but it still doesn't explain how it happened in such a rapidly fast period of time: 2 years
