I am also a Harry Potter fan (although I don't see the films as many times as Ryan - but I do have several Harry Potter video games). I would find it amazing if a rock record could somehow have a similar feeling to the wonderful "Deathly Hallows" part one and two. Probably the best of the Potter films. That is very interesting. What a terrible shame that Meat ruptured his vocal chord and that press attention about that is distracting from possible press attention for the new album. > The shame is he ruptured a vocal chord and that > combined with weather issues caused the whole AFL fiasco > and got the Aussie press on him with a vengeance and as a > result it seems few in the press wanted to review the > actual album or fear of appearing "uncool" while everyone > else was blasting a 12 minute medley done in a damp, cold, > echoing stadium to a pre-recorded band track then it turns > out he had a damaged vocal chord.

Has Meat often suffered from ruptured vocal chords? Was that what happened to him when he lost his voice during the follow up to Bat 1 or was that a psychological thing? | |
