Bands that would be better with a different vocalist?

[Krow]

Ozzy's voice is pretty bad at times... but I wouldnt say they would have been better with a different vocalist. He fits the music just fine.

 

[VelociBrad]

"Labrie sucks" and pumping Ozzy in the same sentence is laughable

"Go back to korn" is even funnier

Id rather go back to "Black Sabbath" when I thought real cool riffs with a horrible nasally sounding vocalist, take the clothspin off yer nose dude.

To make matters worse his voice was not as bad comparitively back then as it increasingly became as time went by.

Liking Dream Theater is the only laughable thing here.

No wonder everyone thinks metal fans are meatheads!

sorry, if you were in a band that played heavy metal i wouldnt be able to take you seriously. it's not for lack of effort, believe me. it's just way too gimmicky. it's like bands that wear masks on stage and shit. no thanks. if you were even a remotely attractive female ala angela of arch enemy, it makes matters ten times worse. ive seen your pictures though, so thankfully we dont have to worry about that problem.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

Labrie is not a bad vocalist. In fact, his delivery on Images and Words is striking at times. Especially on songs like Surrounded and Pull Me Under.

 

[Dak]

Labrie sucks, and anybody saying Ozzy just fails at metal. Go back to KoRn or something.

Labrie is not that good, but he is lightyears better than Ozzy will ever be. Ozzy should have never been in music, but then Black Sabbath has never used a decent vocalist so go figure.

lol at implying Dio and Martin aren't good vocalists.

 

[Dak]

Dio is lol-worthy, as in his voice and style are lol-worthy. Hmm, for some reason I totally missed Martin. I stand corrected.

Ozzy, Halford, and Dio though are horrible.

I agree with Sabbath but not his solo stuff.

Older than you, and I can spell you're correctly as well. How 'bout that?

Halford and Dio are the voice of metal. Great pipes and great tone, unlike Ozzy. Ozzy got lucky for one being in Sabbath which caught on due to the vib of the music not his voice, then he furthered his career through shock artistry again not from having a outstanding voice.

Rainbows success was equally due to Dios voice and delivery as it was Blackmores guitar.

Halford was the model voice for metal vocalists throughout the 80's and further for those that still chose to sing.

Only thing possibly cloned from Ozzy was antics.

Everyone is entitled to opinions but Halford and Dio had good pipes, thus deleting any value of statements of "horrible". Might as well better say Domingo and Pavarotti were horrible and sign your post JGmeathead

Oh, thats amazing

 

[VelociBrad]

It's one thing to dislike Ozzy's vocals but Halford and Dio? you're crazy. Those guys are 2 of the best metal vocalists ever.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

I take back what I said about women in metal. I just discovered Equilibrium and this band is ineffably amazing. She plays bass I guess.

Halford had/has nails on a chalkboard for a voice, and Dio always sounded like he was trying to hard.

Can you please explain what this means?

for those that never heard nails on a chalkboard

Pulling out a pretty shitty song in which Halford doesn't do his normal high pitch shit isn't exactly a great comeback.

and this is like comparing Zakk Wylde's Book of Shadows to the majority of BLS. Same guy, but extremely different music/approach.

He should have stayed with his original solo style, and stopped doing BLS several albums ago.
