[Heeplist] Heeplist] Heeplist] UH singers

[DAVID M SHERROD]

I think I know what your saying and I agree for the most part, John to me is a Paul Rogers type hard blues rock singer, only far more range and better singer than Paul.  What I liked so much about Bernie was that he is a hard rock singer and that's what you get from him, thought I just don't like Graham Bonnet at all, but the Noddy Holder, Doogie White comparison sounds about right, I do like Tony Martin as well. But yes, John and David both have that special quality few others have. Dave S.

To be frank, I really like a lot of studio works made by each of them (since and including Sloman) - but at the same time none of them has that delicacy and tenderness in his vocal approach that were Heep's trademark. Bernie Shaw is a typical screamer type of singer, a bit reminiscent of Noddy Holder or Graham Bonnet, with his strong qualities - but he is a typical substitute hard working vocalist of which we saw many coming to relative fame in the late 80-s-early 90-s: Ray Gillen, Tony Martin, Doogie White, Blayze Bayley, Andy Deris... I could go on for quite a time, but  it seems pointless :))) Classics will be classics no matter what we think of them. And I must add, Byron's or Lawton's voices are the ones which would surely draw attention had they even been heard singing softly without any effects or (and) amplification... and with the rest of Heep lot that perspective seems not that attractive or magic if you get my idea. They were both very special doing lyrical, romantic stuff whereas others sound quite lame in this field. It sure doesn't mean they are bad as rock singers - jus a bit lame as Heep classics performers.

>>I find it very interesting really, I guess my thoughts are John and Bernie are overall the best singers, and most consistent live, however David is my favorite he just had something that very few singers ever have, and Heep with David was magic, not sure how to say it. With John Lawton I liked Firefly, but not the other two albums, though they had some great songs, I just didn't like what they were doing from Innocent Victim through Equator, but they were always great live, though even live they weren't so good with Sloman. Goalby was to 80s and I hate the 80s. On a side note I would love to see Heep do an album and tour with both John and Bernie, I just really like how they sound together it's easy to hear why they wanted to do an album together, it's to bad that never happened. Over and out my dream is over. Dave S.
