Can't agree. Bon Scott is a nifty singer and all, but his voice is clearly geared towards sleazy hard rock and not thrash metal

Have to take issue with this bit specifically. You might check out his older band Fraternity sometime.

They've never had a good vocalist as far as im concerned. All of them were/are borderline garbage.

 

[suckerleaf]

BOO

Paul Baloff is probably the best thrash vocalist, early Tom Araya aside.

 

[The Butt]

Early Mille, probably. I could live with that.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Shows how little you know of singing.

lol, okay.

Out of the ones mentioned so far, Chuck Billy is by far the best. While "singing" clearly isnt a strongpoint in thrash, there are/were plenty of good thrash vocalists ... early Araya, Schmier, Flemming Ronsdorf, Lee Altus, Bobby Blitz, Mike Sanders, Mark Antoni(Realm), Darren Travis, Doty and Rineheart, etc. I can keep going.

I love Angelripper, and i prefer him to most of the vocalists mentioned here, but if you guys are taking about "singing", then his name should not even be mentioned. That's like me saying Cavalera was a good singer.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

... you calling others pretentious. lol dear gods.

Your failure to understand the difference between a good frontman/vocalist and an actual good singer says it all, but im not going to bother. This is something that would be argued amongst newbies ... so ill just go ahead and step away from this one.

Returning to the thread question, it's no one else but Paul for me. I never was a fan of Zetro in Exodus, though his singing on the Legacy demo was absolutely great. Dukes vocals were fitting, but that guy is just as unlikeable as possible in my book. Pauls vocals had the perfect dose of insanity and aggression to fit in that early Extreme Metal.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

You're kidding right? Vocalist and singer are synonyms, there is no difference between being a "vocalist" and "singer" except for vocalist usually more specifically refers to jazz/pop groups, but nowhere near always. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screaming_(music)

oh wow. You must really be soft in the head. Which part of VOCALIST=/=GOOD SINGER are you having trouble understanding? Or did you really think i was having an argument as ridiculous as what you seem to be pushing? I'm not 15 years old bro, so please keep your little elementary arguments(SINGERS USE VOCALS!! lmao) away from me.

 

[suckerleaf]

Getting serious around here.

Anders Friden is a vocalist, but not a good singer. Also I don't know how you could say i.e. Frank Mullen is the singer of Suffocation, that sounds just funny as he never sang any word throughout his entire career.

 

[CiG]

Fuck, best thrash vocalists is a hard one.

Besides the greats already mentioned I've always loved Dave Hewson and Terry Sadler from Slaughter, especially the whole two vocalists thing. Some others that rule are Chris Bailey from Infernal Majesty, Mo from Onslaught, Bruce Corbitt from Rigor Mortis, Blaine from The Accused, Mem Von Stein from Exumer, Milo from Deathrow, Gerre from Tankard, Rob Urbinati from Sacrifice!

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Keith Deen and Manuel Lopez > everyone else

 

[CiG]

Keith Deen rules but who the shit is Manuel Lopez?

 

[HamburgerBoy]

The Ulysses Siren dude.

 

[CiG]

Oh shit I haven't heard of them, have to check them out!
