Behind the Music: Steven’s Throat

Friday, October 19th, 2007

Steven Tyler has one of the “screamingest” voices in rock.  If you were at the Aerosmith show at the Amphitheatre last month, you’ll know exactly what I mean.  How the guy can put his vocal cords through such rigorous punishment night after night remains a mystery… until 9 o’clock this Sunday night.  That’s when we’ll get a look inside his throat courtesy of Incredible Human Machine, a show on the National Geographic Channel.  Steven’s recent throat surgery was captured on camera, so you can check out first hand how it all works and whether or not his vocal cords are in fact connected to his epididymis, which would explain how he’s able to hit those high notes.

Just because I’m nice, the bonus code VOCALCORDS is worth 100 points to members of the Jack Nation.  You have until Oct. 27th to enter it. :)

Another guy with superhuman vocal cords is Burton Cummings.  Robert Plant called him the best voice in rock.  This weekend we’re having a Bachman/Cummings one day ticket draw on both Saturday and Sunday, so don’t forget to log into your Jack Nation account in between household chores to get in on the action.

Finally, your Friday Afternoon Drive Zeppelin bonus codes are as follows:

3 p.m. - BAD

4 p.m. - BREAKDOWN

5 p.m. - RAMBLE

Make sure you enter them before midnight on Sunday.  And check out Sam Stevens’ blog for other codes you missed.  They might just be your ticket to London and your ticket the most popular concert on the planet!
