Mike's clean singing in Watershed similar to Maynard's style from Tool?

[DeadlyBadger]

I don't see what the fascination with TOOL is by the members of the metal community. They are so boring and totally overrated. They aren't metal and are totally irrelevant to the metal scene. I can't comprehend why they are even brought up in discussions.

Yeh I know, same as Porcupine Tree, i mean they're not even metal either!!

 

[Katabasis]

Btw, when Mike ''croons'' in Watershed and gets really emo, his vocal melodies are similar to David Coverdale...

Haha, very true. When Burden got going, the first thing I thought was 'Whitesnake'. Didn't think 'emo' though, hehe.

 

[BefriendedUnit]

I'm really liking the way Mikael's voice kind of stylistically cracks at some points.

God, this is his best work, vocally.

I'm pretty sure they're brought up because they make great music.

[Bleakest Harvest]

In that case, I guess no one should ever mention Damnation again either.

How can you decently argue about how a band rocks or sucks?

Astonished am I.

(And I can see no similarity between their two voices)

 

[Defluo]

The only similarity I can hear is that they're both brilliant singers.

While those falsetto cracks aren't quite to my personal taste, I agree.

(sorry about the double post)

 

[Hedon-]

the only similarity i find is that they both sing in a band starts with the letter T

 

[Tepheron]

Kind of funny to read through threads like this. There are arguments as to whether or not music is good or bad, and if bands are "metal" or not. What the hell? It is impossible to argument that a band with more than one fan is bad. It's a matter of taste - either you like it or you don't! Quite simple.

 

[Cerberus III]

Can we at least agree that Opeth is > Tool?

no similiarities what-so-ever. IMO Mikael's clean vocals have become quite breathtaking.
