John Bush

+1... good call there.

 

[AudioPhile777]

Two of my recent favorites... Daniel Gildenlow (Pain of Salvation) and Russel Allen (Symphony X)

All time faves are Robb Flynn and Corey Taylor...

 

[JBroll]

David Lowmiller from A Dark Halo is sounding pretty badass right now.

Actually, that whole band rocks my socks.

[Gnash]

Ozzy, Halford, Bon Scott, Ian Gillian, Bruce Dickinson, Layne Staley, Mike Patton, Maynard, Phil, Burton, fuck, and I guess Jon Howard.haha

 

[Aaron Smith]

Not really a metal vocalist...but is anyone a fan of Christopher Hall from Stabbing Westward? I've always loved that guy's voice...

Dude. That's a name/band I haven't heard in a LONG time. But +1.

One thing, though, what the FUCK happened with their last album?

[MetalWorks]

I thought Phil LaBonte from All That Remains had a good mix of Gutteral Lows, Mid Growls, Hard Core like screams, Melodic singing and even a high Danny Filth thing at times such as on the song Weak Willed.

But then I saw the live DVD and was dissapointed that he didnt do very well pulling off the vocal ranges. He was singing below the range of the CD.

When I hear songs I like on a CD I expect them to be about 90% or higher accurate in a Live Performance.

Singing in a different key or pitch just sounds wrong to me. The guitars wouldnt get away with it, neither should the singer.

[Chryst Krispies]

Anyone else dig Lajon Witherspoon???

I've been gettin into the 'dust lately, and he's been KILLING it.

 

[Jaymz]

Bah! so everybody then? lol

 

[Dom Ostarig]

Glenn Danzig (not really metal)... Vintersorg, John Nodtveidt (ordinary type), Simen Hestnaes (Vortex), Attila Csihar, Olve Eikemo....

And the greatest badass vocalist: Rainer Landfermann..... his vocal only could be heard in Bethlehem album "Dictus Te Necare"... a masterpiece vocal.

 

[Chryst Krispies]

Olve Eikemo....

Surely you jest.....

 

[Dom Ostarig]

Surely you jest.....

I'm serious.... for that especific concept, his vocal is great... is the modern concept of motohead.... and is not so easy..... the most people could get close, but can't sounding so good.... at least in recordings.... (i'm taking about his work on "I" project)

Yeah. Dude's got some serious chops. "Angel's Son" is one of my favorite songs.

Because that goes without saying.
