I not only developed a raspy voice for a few days from screaming "hey, hey, hey" at a Metallica concert, but also got a pretty bad case of "Met-bow", kinda like tennis elbow from pumping your arm in the air. This ever happen to you?
Went to a Black Sabbath concert in the early seventies and drank so much wine that I threw up during "Faries Wear Boots". Met Ozzy in 1995 and made him buy me lunch because, as I told him, "You owe me a meal".
If that happened to you, you were probably intoxicated ( one way or the other ) and enjoying yourself way too much : ) As to curing your "laryngitis", eat as much of a jar of horseradish that you can possibly stand. This will revive your vocal cords for some strange reason. It's what my grandfather used to do and it wasn't just a temporary fix. Sean >
I'm not a Metallica fan, but you can cure the raspy voice, at least temporarily by doing what Robert Plant did when his voice gave out.....suck on a lemon. The astringent qualities will revive the vocal cords, at least enough to call in to work and tell them you are not coming in.
