Convenient use of now-you-sing to the audience, but I caught it. But then again, that shit is hard to sing 🤷‍♂️

I remember early in linkin parks career that Chester had to rebuild his ability to sing differently because of how much stress his style puts on the vocal cords. She will likely need to do the same if she’s going to survive it.

By "rebuild his ability" you meant basic fundamentals of screaming, I assume. M Shadows didn't know how to scream correctly either and we're now all lesser off for it

Matt Heafy of Trivium blew out his voice too and had to basically start over as a vocalist. To be fair, he was never a particularly gifted singer imo (and i LOVE Trivium, I've seen at least 7 of their shows) but he's able to do really healthy screams again.
