I am stealing this video from a comment caliblue left on someone's myspace... it is so sad to hear his voice sound like this... Good effort for messed up vocal cords.

Personally, I think his voice sounds great. It's probably early in the morning, it looks like an early morning radio show, so he probably still has morning voice. What a wonderful rasp he has anyways. But he is defintely hurting here. Does anyone think he was prssured into going on even though it was damaging his voice, like he says he was? From the sounds of this, even though i love it, what Travis said may be more true.

From the sounds of this, even though i love it, what Travis said may be more true. I still enjoyed it also, but I really think he was hurting. He definitely needed a break to get his voice back. Can you imagine singing 15-25 songs at a show with this problem? I bet he was miserable. I'm sure he was pressured to go on and do his shows that were booked already and it was probably tough on him. Poor dude.

I love Travis and his raspy voice just as much as you guys do, i will ALWAYS listen to the live shows i have of him with melon, 00-metro, and his stuff with Rain Fur Rent, EVERYTHING... but can you honestly say he didn't bring it on himself, or does at times? Chain smoking is the exact opposite of what a vocalist wants to do unless he intends to harm his vocal chords like it sounds Travis is on the verge of/was/will be doing.

If chain smoking is smoken a half a pack a day then hes guilty but i don't conisder that chain smoking

I'm not raggin' on him, just saying it adds pressure to the strains already taken on a singers voice

A lot of footage like this were early on during the day... Radio spots EARLY in the morning. Playing a full gig the night before, you can't expect him to sound perfect the very next day. I'll give him, and any singer, that much...
There are actually a few radio spots that I have where he sounds much worse. And, the guys even ask him if he feels like doing another song, or not (his choice)... And, he says yes.
