LOL I figured out (just out of kinda making fun of his voice) I can perfectly imitate Geddy Lee's voice. I can't play his basslines alone much less sing and play em at the same time so don't ask for a video.

BTW I was doing "the trees"


Can you sing like anybody famous?

Don't worry Tommy. Once you hit puberty, you won't be able to

Speaking of which,


When I was in highschool,I did a pretty convincing Neil Young.

I can still do it,but I have to be careful not to strain my grapes.

I'm a keyboardist who loves bass, and I wish I could play bass guitar, but my best instrument is my voice. I'm a very good vocal mimic, and if it's within my range, I can sing it. My best impressions are Stevie Wonder, Maurice White, Elvis, Jeffrey Osborne, James Brown, and Bootsy (had to have a bassist in there!).

Does singing like Ian Mackaye from Minor Threat/ early Fugazi count?

Same here; vocalist waaay before I was a bassist. Much better at the former than the latter. As far as who I sound like, I can easily do Nate Dogg, D'angelo, Sleepy Brown, Philip Bailey, Kenny Lattimore, Tony Terry, Prince and Timmy B Schmidt. I can somewhat do Rick James, Charlie Wilson, and Aaron Hall

When I try, I can sing like Kurt Cobain (pre-shotgun), or Dallas Green, depending on what music I'm playing.
