There really do seem to be many popular metal bands with singers whose voices are just plain dreadful. And I'm not referring to death metal. Instead, I'm speaking of bands where there is actual singing, but it's just awful.
Moy votes for the worst voices in metal:
1) Ray Alder - Fates Warning.
His wretched voice has ruined practically everything they've released since the departure of Jon Arch.
2) James LaBrie - Dream Theater.
Ok, if these guys are so talented, why the HELL did they settle for this dreadful ogre?
3) Gene Simmons - Kiss.
He's a much better capitalist than crooner.
4) Ripper Owens - Iced Earth / Priest.
I still can't believe that people compare him to Halford. He has NONE of the
qualtities of subtleness that Halford often employed. Can you imagine Ripper trying to sing "Before the Dawn"? NO.
5) Paul Stanley - Kiss.
Well, it could be worse....he's not as bad as Gene.
Who do you place in this category?
