Favourite Vocalists

[Keenan]

Claudio Sanchez...... isn't that the guy from Coheed and Cambria? That guy has a ridiculous voice.

Yeah. I love his voice haha, a lot of people I know think it's ridiculous and way too high, but I love it, he as a good range, just he tends to sing in such a high pitch a lot of the time. And I like Coheed & Cambria too, so I guess that's why I like him so much.

 

[Revell]

I can't stand that guy's voice, it's cringe-worthy.

 

[-[chop]-]

Some of mine are...

Petri Lindroos
James Hetfield (not on St.Anger and Death Magnetic tho)
Peter Tägtgren
Mikael Åkerfeldt
Zakk Wylde

 

[Keenan]

DIO.
God, why the hell did I take so long to buy Dio albums?

 

[D.Ingram]

Do you REALLY want me to answer that?

 

[Keenan]

I'll answer it myself, because I listen to too much Evile!

 

[Slatanictrash]

He has an extreme vocal-range. Listen all through the song Let it Die

or in All my life

Don't forget the passion and the pain of his vocals when he sings "The best of you", when I 1st heard that song, my hairs stood up on end and I also got the goosebumps and I thought "Fuck me, I felt that", he really puts himself into that song

I should have put Grohl on the list and I forgot to do so, another singer I think has a great voice is Eddie Vedder, just listen to Pearl Jam's "Alive" a great song on 2 levels, great vocals and it also has got one of the most stunning guitar solo's I have ever heard

 

[metallicdistort]

But when I heard Pearl Jam's new stuff on the radio, I actually thought Eddie Vedder was the singer from Fall Out Boy. His vocals on the older albums are great though.

 

[Keenan]

I just hate grunge.
Alice in Chains is OKAAAAAAAY........ Don't even get me started on Nirvana

I still think Bruce Dickinson is the greatest singer ever though. His voice is amazing!

 

[metallicdistort]

Nirvana are pretty good, but Alice In Chains are a far better band than they ever were.

 

[Keenan]

Nirvana was pure, utter garbage. Kurt Cobain is a mediocre guitarist at best. I will say that at least ONE of their members had talent (Dave Grohl lol).

ANYWAYS......
Cam Pipes is amazing!

 

[metallicdistort]

Yeah Cobain is a pretty crap guitarist, but not a bad song writer. The other members weren't too bad though

Yeah he's a good songwriter but I wouldnt consider him a good guitarist. And if that list was about good songwriting, why is Tony Iommi only like number 81?

 

[Keenan]

Wasn't Jack White in the top 10 in that one? Or was it another?
Regardless, I get pissed when I see lists like that, so I don't bother with those magazines.

On topic?
Ozzy. Dio.
I can't decide which one I like more!

 

[Alteredmindeath]

Danzig
Peter Steel
Hansi from Blind Guardian
Hetfield
Mustaine
Vintersorg
Mikael Akerfeldt
Ozzy
etc....

 

[Podgie]

Danzig

I'll second that.

 

[MegaPwn]

Peter Tägtren, Glen Benton, Tom Araya, Billy Milano, Barney Greenway and loads of others lol. Worst ones are Hetfield (I HATE HIS GODDAMN VOICE) and any deathcore vocalist.

 

[Revell]

Worst ones are Hetfield (I HATE HIS GODDAMN VOICE)

Please tell me you're talking about modern day Hetfield (fair enough; what with the high pitch and unnecessary yeaaahhhh's, etc.) and not old school (late 80s - early 90s in particular) Hetfield? Opinions are opinions, I know, but I just don't see how that's possible. He had one of the best (the best in my opinion) voices in metal, hands down.

I'll also third Danzig. Another great voice.
