Steve Hogarth of Marillion too, very distinctive and not what you'd call 'great' by anyones standards but you can really feel each and every bit of emotion they put into it. It just fits the songs and the stories they are trying to tell perfectly. I couldn't imagine anyone performing the album Brave like he does.
For Meat, he doesn't sound the same. It happens but he still puts passion into his songs, he still sings them as best he can and that is all we can ask. He does what fits the song.
Back to the topic of Bon Jovi. My friend sent me the released snippet of the new single last night. It sounds very typical Bon Jovi, slightly more aggressive lyrically but nothing I wouldn't expect.
