If any of you are still there.I have been singing for thirty years in guitar bands. I can sing like Greg Allman, and currently sing some modern rock too, like the Chilly Peppers. I discovered by accident that drinking pepsi cola gives me staying power to be able to sing all night, and I don't know why. Hard physical exercise, and lifting wieghts regularly helps too. I have never been able to sing for instance, AC/DC but whatever you want to sing, and that my friends is your choice, the things I have noted may help you. No, I do not work for pepsi-cola.

Apparently Joe Cocker is still at it.

Oddly enough perhaps, one singer I liked a lot was Dave Van Ronk. Gravelly voice, sometimes sounded like a rusty hinge. Hearing him sing always made me feel like I needed to clear my throat. But, boy, could he put a song across!

Singing raspy and gravelly is sort if like Russian roulette. Some people seem to get away with it, but. . . .

I think there is a way that involves electronic manipulation of the voice without destroying it. There are special effects that can simulate these sounds in the way a rock guitarist gets distortion.

This is an area that could be explored further.

Signal processing of the voice is being done all the time in recording studios.

With the newest technology, effects can be applied.

Rock music today is all about techno/musical manipulation anyhow.

You're not only blowing out your vocal chords you're blowing out your mind and your ears.You can't sing songs from a group like godsmack and expect anything good out of it.No I won't capatilze god because puny man can't smack almighty God and he'll die trying.Puny man going against Almighty God what a joke!!! What a deception! Garbage, that's what it is. It will ruin your life and your voice.Your band would have to use ampliflication if they were playing in a phone booth. Guess what???? You're not cool, just stupid!!!!!Forgive me, just trying to help you. Why sing about morbidity and perversion? What good can come out of it? God loves you.If you don't know that your blind.
