Bon Jovi - Living On A Prayer - Isolated Vocals - Analysis and Tutorial - Recording Techniques
Sometimes rather than scratching a whole song entirely, it's better to see if you can rework it instead.
Such was the case for "Livin' On A Prayer" which Jon Bon Jovi apparently did not like the original recording of. Fortunately after some convincing by Richie Sambora, they decided to change the bassline, use new drum fills and add the use of a talk box.
I've got the actual isolated vocal track from the recording so we can look at how Jon got to those different places while hearing how the recording actually happened.
I'll also explore the engineering techniques that were used including the different types of reverb we'll hear in the recording.

@musicah8496 3 года назад

agreed, health is wealth but in all aspects of human history, for big things to happen, we had to break rules, bounds, etc, and this is true when it comes to Jon's vocal technique. It's very obvious he never really took care of it which is really unfortunate but when I listen to the band, I feel as if, it was more about storytelling and conveying the emotion rather than technique and I respect that. That is probably the biggest reason people connected to them a lot. We can always play these what could have been games but would the song have the same effect with just proper vocal techniques used? I personally don't think so but we will never know. It's such a hard topic..... singing improperly on purpose to evoke emotions vs proper technique. I do wonder if a certain artist has achieved a balance between both.

@mattiasorre1718 4 месяца назад

He always sounded off key and strained to me. What I loved about someone like Dio or Rogers etc etc is that they had great pitch and control AND character and were just as huge. Not sure why someone with character but dodgy pitch and control would be as exciting. When Bon Jovi came along, I thought somewhat disappointedly they were the first wave of rockers that didnt have great singers, Motlery Crue and that whole hair band thing @@kentamplin

@rainertitz7380 2 года назад

When I heard Bon Jovi's "Livin on a prayer" when I was 10 years old, I was fascinated. I sat in our living room at home and put on the vinyl single. I already got goosebumps from the beginning of the song with the keyboards and the mysterious atmosphere. And then Jon started with his smoky power voice. I had never heard anything like that before. I found it fascinating how high he could sing in this style. Of course I noticed even then that he could never sing the song live in this way. He allegedly didn't want to record the song at the time, because it was way too high for live performances. Now when I hear his voice isolated in Ken's video, I still think it's awesome. Though technically not perfect or an overproduced thin voice. Maybe it's the imperfection that creates the charm. Sometimes it just sounds awesome, because the voice has personality and touches you.

@Bryan_KC 3 года назад

Jon never got the credit he deserved for his range or how great his voice was. The track Santa Fe off blaze is probably his best vocal. I'd love to hear that vocal isolated.

"Bed Of Roses" to me is his best ever vocal. The dynamics, range utilized and emotion in that song is head and shoulders above everything else IMHO.

But yeah, Richie is also amazing and the soul of BJ along with Jon himself.

@Redplanetfilms1 2 года назад

Being from Jersey, and remembering that time when Bon Jovi broke, it was ALL about attitude, hair, and guitar chops. I am a singer and was always jealous of Jon hitting those insane high notes and then the key change at the end. I even tried to do it live once.it was not great, but as I listen to him today, it makes me sad to think, it was songs like this that robbed him of his voice today. I have always felt it was hard to be a vocalist, because you are always subject to your health, what you just ate, how much sleep you have had, etc. and the rest of the band, as long as they have their hands and a volume knob they are good! lol All I know is I feel his pain, having lost my voice on stage at big gigs.

@GlamourSwinexXx 3 года назад

I'll be damned, I've heard this song a million times, the isolated vocals who knows how many times, and you're right Ken - they did copy/paste the first and second choruses. I even checked the phase alignment, they almost cancel out... however they are minutely pitch/time shifted. That said, Jon blew his voice out countless times and smoked for 15 years too - that didn't help his vocal longevity. But in his prime he was untouchable!!!

@kentamplin 3 года назад

@brendanoneil3489 3 года назад

I suggest the copy paste chorus was for a reason, but not being lazy. This was their big hit single that broke the band worldwide I knew them in the uk from 7800 but it was a cult thing, this was about bringing a whole new unfamiliar audience to the band, with a 3.30 airplay single ...it worked good.

@MakeLifeExtraordinary 2 года назад

Jon has continuously said that he was against the key change towards the end of the song. Knowing that it would destroy the longevity of the ability to do it in key. Not only that, he didn’t even want to put the song on the album. It was Richie that convinced him to do so. Probably because of how difficult it would be to sing night after night. Any case, it’s a great song… Just not for singers. Not on a continuous basis. It’s an easy way to destroy your voice very quickly.

@stuogs 3 года назад

Always makes me smile to remember that this song almost never saw the light of day. JBJ wanted to give it away to a compilation record rather than put it on their own album. Richie Sambora had to persuade him to put it on Slippery When Wet.

@kentamplin 3 года назад

Thanks for the info!

@zacharymcquaid7696 2 года назад

I notice on the New Jersey album after this, he used a little more deeper style of singing. You can hear this the songs Lay your hands on me and Wild as the Wind. He also held notes longer on some songs at a lower key with the help more of Richie as a backup. He tested it out by saying "come on" a lot in his songs I've noticed and punching notes in songs. Like the album These Days, he used a lot of different deeper registers along with the high pitch notes, which doesn't get a lot of credit because the songs were getting more toned down. I always also thought his vocals in dry county on Keep the Faith were really underrated and uniquely good. One can totally see why singing live is a challenge for him and why he has always often chosen to sing much flatter live (or nowadays sadly not by choice). Thanks for the analysis on his voice! Robert Plants is another one I have always found interesting - especially how he's changed his singing style in the middle of his early solo work in the 80s.

@marcus_mayhem 3 года назад

Wow, Ken you hit the nail on on the head. The Maestro in Washington, when I brought this song to him, said, specifically of this song, that if he kept singing like this this he would hurt himself. So, hats off to you that you said the exact same thing. Now for those of you that are reading this, the Maestro was one of the best vocal coaches around. He lived in this humble old house down by the water, it didn't look like much when I first got there. Walking into his home, where he did his lessons you saw all the autographed pics all over his walls with people thanking him. He was a bit overweight with his Santa Claus glasses, white hair slicked back, followed by a huge ponytail. Ok, I thought this ought to be good. Then we went over to the piano, it was a grand(i think a baby) it was so long ago I don't remember but the living room was small. He started doing scales accompanied on the piano, just to see where I was at, as well as to show me where I could or should be. He had a strong round voice. Then he hit this high note, I forget exactly the note but it was F*ing high, in his head voice, with little effort, and I was blown away. This guy could hit notes I could only imagine, this was around the time of guys like Michael Sweet, Jeff Tate and Rob Halford and had never seen anyone pull it off in person. The nicest guy. Anyway, in my opinion, I believe Ken is just as good if not better and I would go to him in a heartbeat if I was still singing or wanted to sing. Ok, I'm rambling but if Ken reads this, I believe he can attest to this story and can tell you its true and the only way you would ever know this, is if you had been in his (the Maestro) home. So, in a long winded round about way, I'm saying that Ken is the new, and our modern day Maestro. I believe he is the best. I'm 53yrs, was a studio musician in Vancouver (drummer) and I left that and joined the military. (RET 26years in) I wish you all the best with your singing endeavors. God bless.

@CptCrash21 3 года назад

@@michellebritvec Yeah, but his vocal training wasn't consistent. He got a little bit during the Slippery/New Jersey period but that was more to help prevent totally blowing his voice for the tours. It's pretty obvious he applied himself a little more to vocal training during the early 90's leading to the KTF period. He's mentioned getting vocal lessons to help him warm up/warm down and prolong his voice during tours, but he's also said people (even doctors) have warned him that he was stressing his voice too much but he ignored them and was able to "finish long tours" with his voice still strong. So it's unlikely that he was doing any serious training (otherwise he would surely would have given more consideration to his vocal health) until probably 2008 when his voice made quite a return.

Well Mr. Ken, you explained it right. When a singer use more voice that came from a throat, voice can't be used for long. No matter how high the song is, sing it in a proper way

This video popped up on my channel because I am a big fan of Bon Jovi! I’ve been in three concerts and his voice is really damaged. And now, without Richie helping him, it’s not the same at all. I liked when you said that he sounds a cute Jersey boy...😁 Great job! I am Brazilian and I live in Ohio.

I was in a hair metal tribute band out of Detroit called RockStar from 09-2014. Our singer Kelley Huff used to nail this like it was nothing. I remember my first gig with them was at the Machine Shop in Flint, MI. I remember when were doing our sound check, and it was his turn... It was scary good!

@aleccopile 3 года назад

Ironically, Jon Bon Jovi didn't even want to include "Prayer" on the "Slippery" album. It was the great Richie Sambora who convinced him to do it. I guess Jon was already thinking back then: "My God, if I have to sing this song every night, I'll have no voice left at some point" 😀. Fortunately for him, either his bandmates or the audience help him out on the chorus 😉. What I've always found interesting about this song is that when the band plays it in the up-tempo version, the focus is more on the music, but when Jon and Richie played it with just two acoustic guitars, the focus was more on the lyrics and the song sounded surprisingly melancholic.

@kentamplin 3 года назад

Thanks for the info, Alec!

@brendanoneil3489 3 года назад

They went into the studio for 'slippery' with 60 rough demo songs, 30 were recorded and the final album and singles got picked from that...what happens when you have a bunch of great singers and players in the same band on a major in the right studio. This was their big make or break album...magic. . Ta Ken!

@fohn4305 2 года назад

I'm sure it was Producer Bruce Fairbairn to say we take it on the Album. Jon first had doubts because of its Pop Metal sound

Jon Bon Jovi like other famous music artists has his own style of singing and it's made them millions. I didn't know there was a right or wrong in someone's style of singing. There is music artists I don't like how they sing but that's their style. They're gifted with their TALENT, their songwriting, singing, and music.
