Haven't heard Gus with Adagio yet, but I gather he's a worthy replacement for David Readman...

Best

4) Pasi - Old singer from Amorphis, i liked his growling stuff on 1000 lakes and elegy and his clean styles on there newer cds.

Pasi didn't sing on Tales from the Thousand Lakes, it was their original singer Tomi Koivusaari. Koivusaari also did most of the low growls on Elegy. Koivusaari sang on the first albums, Karelian Isthmus, Tales..., and some EP's but had to stop growling because he was about to loose his voice for good because of it. Elegy was the first album with Pasi Koskinen.

My favourites:

-Devin Townsend (SYL,DTB)
-Mikael Akerfeldt (Opeth)
-Ihsahn (Emperor, Ihsahn)
-Freddy Mercury (Queen)
-Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden)
-Garm (Ulver, Arcturus)
-Simen (Arcturus, ex-Borknagar)
-Vintersorg
-Sully Erna (Godsmack)

The Hatelist:

-James LaBrie ( Dream Theater ) When he sings high, I feel like I'm going to die

Nothing else comes to my mind

Best:

Geddy Lee (Rush)
Chino Moreno (Deftones)

Akerfeldt is amazing, ive seen opeth a couple of times and his voice is just great, he's also very funny

as for LaBrie i guess he's kinda a marmite singer... eg. you ither love him ore you hate him, personally i like him, gotta love a bit of cheesy singing... although i can never forgive him for his horrible singing during an otherwise flawless rendition of the master of puppets album

Oh dude i didnt know that, i should look into stuff more.

BTW i think 1000 lakes was there best cd.

Maybe even top 10 of all CD's ever.

Best: Warrel Dane-Nevermore

Worst- Whoever the singer for Coheed and Cambria is.

David · 05-14-2006, 02:14 PM

I've never really looked into the names of vocalists... woh, I feel dumb right now.

Anyway... I'm surprised no one said:
James LaBrie (DT)
Tony Kakko (Sonata Arctica)
Mats Leven (YJM)
Michael Vescera (YJM)
Stu Block (Into Eternity)
Brad Nowel (Sublime)
Whitney Houston - don't laugh, it's true!
Warrel Dane (Nevermore)

WORST:
Ozzy
ZP Theart (Dragonforce) <--- his vibrato is this annoying purr...
Tom Delonge (Blink 182)

Joseph Trohman (Fallout Boy)

Whoever the singer for Coheed and Cambria is. (what Mastodon said!)

I just checked out some Opeth videos on YouTube, and you got that funny thing right

And yeah, I have seen the cover of Master of Puppets DT did. The band was awesome, but James, well.... ummm... James he....

+1 on BOTH accounts, and I was sure I'd be the only one mentioning Waits here.

Worst - Geddy Lee, or whoever sings in Rush. God damn, he sounds like a 12-year-old girl.
