His voice was incredible during this period. It's a shame that most of what I consider to be his vocal prime was spent in relative obscurity compared to periods before and after.
Remember that the doctors considered his vocal problems to be purely psychological. The fact is that most male singers should be in their prime from ages 35-45, which Meat was. So it's good that he got over whatever it was that was ailing him.
Actually let's face it. The fact that we ever heard from him again and that he eventually made it to the top again is a testament to his incredible mental endurance.
With that said, I wish that he would get over his mental thing of BM covering REAW. Use that mental might Meat! 
Let's hope he never hears Todd Rundgren's version of TOOTAB.  |
Meat's voice at the time was good just above a whisper or full on operatic high parts the in between was sometimes difficult for him. I like the operatic voice even though he had to spend most of some songs in that range which had to be tough. I agree that from '85-'93 his voice was perfection, unfortunately until '93 he was in relative obscurity from the mainstream.
