[Beth] I've used lead vocals a decent amount, however that's probably the bands/Artists I listen to. Example: Klayton Scott's Shapeshifter the feat. Styles of Beyond is performing the lead vocal. Though, since Klayton produced, mixed, probably conceived it, the song is a Celldweller release. This is pretty normal for Klayton Scott's work. Perhaps the lack of use of "lead vocals" is due to people not using AR as much. Though I did notice more moderations are going through for AR relationships lately. [Beth] (though i still think adding 'rapped' and other none-classical vocal roles is bad but that's been done to death already) _______________________________________________ Musicbrainz-style mailing list Musicbrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style _______________________________________________ Musicbrainz-style mailing list Musicbrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style
