Yes, being a backing vocalist myself for a few years I can share your experiences.
Backing vocalist always have to sing damn high pitched stuff and that only on a few short parts every now and then and we always get a bad monitorsound. Sometimes nothing comes out of the damn speakers. At the end I used to use earpluggs and then I can hear myself in my head. Better than nothing...

I think Anders really rocks when he sings, er.. screams, the backing vocals of "Ghost of the Sun", well this is one of my fave parts of the song too!
Of course in this case it's difficult to scream out of tune ( I'd say better "impossible", but I guess there are people who can manage to scream out of tune....)
Anyways, I can't complain about his backing vocals, it's true that many times the sound is low or confused and you can't hear much of them...but Anders plays with such an energy and passion that the last thing I could care for is if he strikes or not the right note while doing backing vocals!
Coming back to the thread...well Alexi and Anders are like apples and oranges...in any case if you dind't know none of them and you had to judge from their appearance, a photo for example, no doubt that Anders would beat him even in this case...
Alexi=
Anders=

Surprising as it may seem, but I am trained as an opera singer, specifically a bass-baritone. And during one performance of Verdi's Rigoletto, I farted a nasty demon which spread faster than light itself. Soon the stage was consumed with my stench, and laughter began to appear among the chorus. I was so embarassed, but finished my performance in top-notch form simply because I was trying so hard to just be focused only on my lines; thusly eliminating my acknowledgement of the reeking armageddon I birthed. So I guess the lesson is to drink dark beer and mexican food the night before a show, and fart like a gunslinger.

Yup i can relate to that, no major Festivals here, but i really can relate to the fact of not beign able to hear yourself.. it sucks... REALLY SUCKS....
ok back on track.. yeah Anders rules alexi, but the fact is that they do a lot of different stuff from eachother, so i guess this comparision isnt really accurate to begin with....
I guess a right VS thread will be, Anders vs Mikael arkefeldt or something like that... what do you think?

Unfortunately, I am not so lucky. My ex ripped my balls away as well as my sanity.

I'm not going to defend Alexi in the emotional/feeling department but...have you ever heard 'For the Love of God' by Steve Vai? My god that man can infuse emotion into his playing. Give it a listen if you haven't already.

OOOOOOOOOH FUCK YES! I saw him alive last year, and I almost died when he played it, it was fucking awesome.

I'm glad to see that someone agrees.
Not considering genres, I think the greatest emotional guitarist live was Stevie Ray Vaughan. Has anyone seen clips of him playing live? It's like he was pouring his soul into the guitar.
I definitely agree with the OP too. I like Anders a lot more than Alexi.

^I haven't heard of him although I knew he was pretty respected by the rest.
Also, I'd love to listen to him.
Do you have any link where I can find some of his stuff, Jon?
