Also, the guys who sing for Linkin Park suck balls, talk about whine whine whine, then the other guy trys to be hardcore with his rap = shitty.

COULD have been great? I don't think they have any problem selling tickets to their shows...

I'm starting to realize I'm the only person who absolutely loves labrie's voice.

I think Labries voice kicks ass

he is a great singer

Also is there any one else that thinks David Lee Roth has the worst voice in history. Sigh, he is horrible.

All rap artists. <-- That's a given.

forelander · 05-14-2006, 08:38 PM

best:

shagrath, the dimmu borgir vocalist.
mike patton just coz he can do absolutely anything with his voice.
and this kid locally you has the most ridiculous range of screams ever, death growls, noisecore screams, and his regular voice isn't affected at all.

worst:
any emo singers that attempt to sound like theyre about to cry while singing.
the DT singer, can't stand his voice at all.
corgan. I hate that whiny bastard.

bostjan · 05-14-2006, 08:44 PM

What no one mentioned Halford?! wtf?

You guys are talking tone, not lyrics, right?

Ok my best:

Russell Allen- Symphony X
Warrel Dane- Nevermore
Bruce Dickenson- Iron Maiden
Ozzy at his best
Rob Halford- Judas Priest
Dianna Krall
David Draimann- Disturbed
Hansi Kursch- Blind Guardian
Mike Patton- Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, etc.
Robert Plant- Led Zeppelin
Geoff Tate- Queensryche
Ian Ashbury- The Cult

worst:
The old Symphony X singer

(had his moments, but listen to Shades of Grey)
Ozzy not at his best
Jack White
Anyone who sings in a whiny voice on purpose (Blink 182, e.g.)

Mike Patton is one of my favorite vocalists too.

I like Halford, Dio and Dickinson alot too. My favorite Dickinson vocals are anything off Somewhere In Time- Stranger In A Strange Land especially.
