Favorite Metal Singer

First of all it is just my opinion- I happen not to like Sean Killian- in fact I think he is terrible, and almost ruins Vio-lence, a band whose music i enjoy. Surely something or someone you hate, i love- a movie a politcal party, art etc.
And I dont understand why you attacked Geoff Tate, what i was saying is that Tate has far more vocal range than Billy- I am not a vocal expert- but i think it is fairly obvious that Tate is a better vocalist- I then went on to state the reasons I like Chuck Billy better- feel of a song, emotion, and ill add great death metal vocals.
No I am not a teenager, and ive been listening to metal for quite sometime.
No I have not seen Vio-lence live- but i dont see how his vocals could be any better- he sounds way out of tune with every song, and i dont hear any range at all, he sounds like me trying Karoake- But this is my opinion- so back off dude- iam not a record executive or something.

From the vastly deep
Mikael Akerfeldt (Opeth)<---------That guy has some brutal distorted vocals! He has really good clean vocals too!
Jonas Renkse(Katatonia) I like his voice...he's not anything like Tate or Dane's clean vocals, but he's good.

Speed- Geoff Tate Sucks as a vocalist now.
Didn't you see Queensryche with Halford/Maiden?
He was using a backing tape cause he can't sing
for shit anymore. He should have retired.

yeah I saw the maiden queensryche- halford tour in Cleveland- i was dissapointed in Queensryche, they had such shitty equipment- it was hard to tell if he was using a back up tape or not- yet they played a 1,500 seat club in Cincinnati for the q2k- a bad album- tour and he sounded the same as he always did- still i like most of queensryches albums. Ialso like most of violence's albums- I just hate the singer- he sounds like he is trying to sing like the guy from Forbidden- but just has neither the timing, nor the voice

Speed, Vio-lence makes the most sense when Sean is
singing live. Even though Vio-lence took 8 years off,
Sean Killian's pipes are still COMPLETELY in tact.
Vio-lence is a live band. That's where the energy,
the music, the aggression and Sean Killian come together
and it's fucking the essence of what Bay Area Metal back
in the day is all about. Sean Killian is hardly trying to be
Russ Anderson. Vio-Lence and Forbidden came up around
the same time and have ties together, but I gotta tell you,
I just don't hear the comparison.
Bay Area Metal Rules. Except Machine Head.

Officer Nice- you must be a hardcore Vio-lence fan, damn you worship the Vio-Lence alter. Still think how much better they would have been with Chuck Billy singing, or if they tried maybe Tom Angelripper, or Mille style death vocals. If you say he works live, fine, but you really love this guy. If you would give me a reason why, ill believe he is at least good live.
Anyway any other favorite metal singers?
I forgot to add Danny from Anathema- but they arent even a metal band anymore.

Other rulers:
Chuck Billy (I hope I don´t have to tell more)
Phil Anselmo (sounds angry sometimes, heh)
Mikael Åkerfelt (brutal throat!)
Barney Greenwood (likewise)
Jeff Walker (likewise times 666)
John Bush (great, dirty voice)
Guy from Iced Earth, now... Name keeps slipping outta my mind.
Blaze Bailey (not so much Iron Maiden stuff...)
Andre Matos (excellent for what he does: Signs high!)
Kenny / ...And Oceans (grutal throat part. ?)
Michael Kiske (great, simply wonderful clean voice)
James Hetfield
There´s few...

Yeah I'm hardcore for Vio-lence. I'm trying to imagine
Chuck singing would be awesome but I just can't see it
really happening, erk, personally, I don't Vio-lence would
be his bag. I hate to say something narrow like that, but
it's what I think. Chuck's voice is wicked powerful. Mille
from Kreator? Wow, that's a stretch. I don't think the guitar
work Vio-lence is known for would match Mille's vocals.
What really made Bay Area Thrash cool was the energy
and the thrash. Vio-lence commands the stage. When
they walk on and the volume increases the intensity
increases and Sean owns the stage. It's his presence.
He's the General of the Pit. There are 2 ways to see
Vio-lence 1. In the Pit 2. In the Front against the Stage.
Otherwise, It's just not as intense. Vio-lence is a pit band.
Most definitely. When he sings, look at his face. Those aren't
just words written on paper. Those are his words. They're
real. They're in your face. They're honest and they're angry.
And they have not lost their edge. It would have been really
cool to see Robb Flynn re-join Vio-lence but since he turned
out to be a pompous idio poser- nu-metal wanna-be rock
star fag, it was better without his lame Billy idol fag haircut.

A) You were either the tour manager, B) were in the band or C) Somehow related to one of the members.
It's NICE to see such passion written for one's favorite band. You can really feel your anger in the last sentence.
Bands love fans like you. What other bands do you listen to?

There are alot of bands that are great live- and in your face- is vio-lence that much better than say Slayer live? I cant imagine they would get the crowd more violent and pumped.
i agree with valof valhalla- i got my little brother who is now 18, into megadeth- and he reminds me of you Officer Nice- he has like every bootleg cd etc, and just loves the band or well mustaine ellefson, and whomever mustaine got along with at the time, but even he will admit certain albums suck, etc. I think you maybe are a little too zealous.

Well Hell, Everyone knows Robb was in Forbidden wrote
songs like "Chalice of Blood" and then went and then went
and did Vio-lence. It was crap he left but cool that he did
two decent Machine Head albums but when that 3rd disc
"The Burning Butthole" came out and Robb Flynn was
suddenly a blonde haired homo doing rap-cock-rock it was
more severe than Metallica doing "nothing else matters"
which is a bigger piece of shit song than "enter sandman"
which has to be a bigger fag song than say All of Winger's
Catalog. Yes I hate on Metallica So, getting to the point,
Robb Flynn Sold out and I am going on record to say he'll
try to make Machine Head's next disc more like "Burn My
Eyes" ....didn't anyone else find it interesting to see his
hair isn't a blonde billy idol thing and that their upcoming
live album track listing was modified to include 2 old songs
ditching 2 songs off their last piece of crap "Supercharger"
Robb knows he fucked up and fucked over the tradition of
Bay Area Metal. Stupid fucking loser idiot. Makes you
realize that Logan Mader was right about Robb and
Robb as usual is a 4-foot nothing clown.
Sorry for the rant.

Ok well i forget a few, but i ve got too many cds and bands to count, i think these are the ones i play most
anyway is there anything else we can argue about- maybe best Testament album, best thrash band, biggest sell out etc. Slayer after 92, anything. I think we should start a new thread if you think of one.
