[Ryan23]

Richie Sambora, Duff McKagen........sometimes the back-up singers out-perform the lead singers.

[chas*e]

ME...You should hear me scream the Karaoke...brings tears to the crowds eyes

[Double J]

Bobby Kimball from the band Toto has an incredible voice. Their live DVD is absolutely phenomenal.... check it out.

[Tim and Julie B]

David Usher (Moist) and Jeff Maritn from the Tea Party:D

Julie

[Andy_G]

Maynard and Serj Tankian.

[Double J]

The best voices for any metal bands have to be Chris Barnes (formerly of Cannibal Corpse), Corpsegrinder (currently of Cannibal Corpse), and the singer who just left Gore Rotted (I cannot remember his name at the moment).

Still... it all comes back to King Diamond (from Mercyful Fate as well as some solo stuff). He can really hit those high notes. Buddy from Cradle of Filth deserves an honourable mention as well. He does an incredible job at sounding like some sort of goblin.

[joey]

'cannibal corpse?' corpsegrinder? and 'gore rotted?

!!!!

[katev17]

Cannibal Corpse... :thumbsup:

[fateamber]

I love Daniel Johns (silverchair)voice :D

Matthew Bellamy (Muse) has a great voice, it just always makes me sad when I hear it!

Finally I think Gerard Way (My chemical romance) has a great voice too!

There are also some others that have already been said, like Chester Bennington, and I'm sure I can't remember my favorite voice but, nevermind! :D

[crucified]

i forgot to add the king.. yes .. thats right.. KING DIAMOND!!!
\m/

oh yeah..
and james hetfield.. yes.. he is a good singer!

[JAdkins2451]

Double J Do you like GG Allen?

[V.hb]

Layne Staley
Kurt Cobain
Jim Morrison
Sully Erna
etc etc..

[justinO]

neat voices: Singer from Das Ich, Singer from Wolfsheim, and the singer from Snog.

Best voice goes to Ronan Harris from VNV Nation.

Justin

[zero&stich]

Best voice for singer: The Screamin Demon himself, Steven Tyler, hands down, no compition.

Best voice in general: Sean Connery.

[joey]

Steven Tyler blec. what do you guys hear in that voice?

[JimmyDavid]

I was thinking the same.
Well, tastes are tastes, i guess. But Steve Tyler?!?...oh man.... :rolleyes:

[joey]

lmfao. heh heh heh

different strokes.

[HeatherRose]

It's sexy.

john lennon


John Lennon, double blech. What do you hear in THAT voice?

[joey]

John Lennon is classic! Just listen to 'imagine'....

different strokes.

[Asian Jon]

Steven Tyler is soooo good.

Steven Tyler blec. what do you guys hear in that voice?

I was going to ask you the same thing about Bob Dylan's voice.

[joey]

aw man, you guys are just babies--I feel so old around here.

I love Jim Morrison's voice too.

Elvis Costello
Andy Partridge
Sting
Bob Marley
Peter Tosh
Kurt Cobain



sorry, but I've never liked Steven Tyler--have sort of an aversion to him and have felt for a long LONG time. Maybe it's those ugly sloppy lips? Or the way he dances? He's got a beautiful, talented daughter though.

But hey, if you guys like him---cool enough. Lot's of folks do.

As for Bob Dylan---he's just cool period.

[HeatherRose]

Yeah, but it's 'best male voice', not 'least ugly sloppy lips and best dancer."

[Matt_K]

Cobain had a good voice???? Hmmmm, If that's the the case, im nominating Eddie Vedder..

-Matt

[joey]

I was trying to think of some ~other~ possible talent from Steven Tyler..... definately not his voice. Nope no talent, sorry.

Listen to MTV''s Nirvana Unplugged. Boy had an exceptional voice. Too bad he had to go and blow his brains out.

Oh and dude from Jane's Addiction ---Perry Farrell

[Asian Jon]

Speaking of Kurt...
The big question is: did he REALLY kill himself?

These pieces of evidence really made me think...If they are myths plz correct it.

1) There were 3 shells in the shotgun, if he was going to kill himself, wouldn't he only put 1?

2) Courtney offered a Hitman 50,000 where she said blast his head off even though he thought she was kidding.

3) The heroine in his body was too much for him to do anything like put his needle away and finish the suicide note and shoot himself.

[loveispretend]

Kurt had a really good voice. Doesn't quite fit in with the preferences I have seen so far, but my favorite male singer is Michael Stipe. Tommy James. Mick Jagger.

[loveispretend]

Also... I can't help it... I love Elvis.

[loveispretend]

Oh, and Frankie Valli! John Fogerty, Danny Hutton, Chuck Negron and Cory Wells. Otis Redding.

[JimmyDavid]

Maybe Kurt was afraid he would miss his head. hehe.
Was the gun his? i always though he said he didn't have a gun. (couln't help this joke)

[loveispretend]

Wrong but funny, JimmyDavid.

[sneaky_boa]

Tricky
Bowie
Tom Waits
Michael Gira (from Swans and Angels of Light)
also...the guys in Coil ~shivers~

[V.hb]

Kurt had a great voice, listen to some of their acoustic stuff. Unplugged in NY shows off what he was capable of.

[joey]

BOWIE ....omg yes! I love David Bowie.

[HeatherRose]

Maybe Kurt was afraid he would miss his head. hehe.
Was the gun his? i always though he said he didn't have a gun. (couln't help this joke)

I fail to see the humour in this.

[Scales Zoo]

Just read through the thread, and thought I'd make a few comments.

My favorites, tied for 1st place are Bon Scott and Brian Johnson - but of course I'm biased.

Brian Johnson just lent his voice to a new video game called "call of duty, finest hour" - and is a WWII drill sargant. He should do a good job. Bon has one of those voices that not everyone likes (but same with Brian Johnson, I guess) - but he is much better than Neil Young, but than so am I, and so is the dog.

One person I think has been overlooked as I didn't see him mentioned is Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson. That guy has one of the best singing voices ever - and can do any kind of singing and is acclaimed for doing so, but really brought some talent to heavy metal in the 80's. Songs like Run to the Hills and many others would not be as great og songs without his voice.

Axle Rose had a good voice. And I've always liked the lead singer of Jackyl, such a shrill voice. He and Brian Johsnon teamed up to do a song called Locked and Loaded - if you've never heard it, download it now - those 2 voices together are amazing, you have to agree, even if you don't appreciate that kind of voice.

WHY?

[joey]

dude...that's just heather.

[Big_V]

Elliot Smith, David Bowie, Robert Plant, Eric Clapton, Jim Morrison.... could go on alot more but pointless.

[HeatherRose]

dude...that's just heather.

:rolleyes: haha, yeah man, that's just me. Don't find making fun of people who kill themselves as much as a blast as you fine folks do...

[JAdkins2451]

Rob Helfret (sp) Of Judas Priest wasnt mentioned eithier..
Asian Jon Theres a book and A Documentry About Kurt Cobain it all about the evidence trying to prove it wasnt him..

Heather I agree with you maybe they just havent known anybody that has killed them selfs..

[JimmyDavid]

Take it easy. Just humor, nothing else...

[joey]

no doubt--what JD was refering too was a song by Nirvana....

chill. and for the record, i did know a couple of people will killed themselves.

[katev17]

Man, I thought >I< had a dark, twisted, weird sense of humour.

[katev17]

PS - (I tried to edit, it's not working)

I really do have a twisted sense of humour, and that wasn't even a funny joke.. suicide reference aside, it's just... plain not funny.

Cool, do you know what it's called? I'd love to give it a read.

I don't find anything funny about someone dieing...I have a lot of respect for his music and if you did too, you wouldn't be making a joke about it. That's just my 0.8436463 cents.

Finally! Someone else who likes Robert Plant! :D:D

[HeatherRose]

I have a lot of respect for his music and if you did too, you wouldn't be making a joke about it.

Yeah..whether you like the music or not...human life? :S

[ydnic]

You can also watch a movie called Kurt and Courtney - it pretty much goes through the whole thing too.....

*shakes head*

I have known people who killed themselves, and I still found it funny (the lyric reference part). It is called gallows humor, and it is actually more common among people with a lot of first-hand experience with death. It's a psychological crutch, used to distance youself from an overwhelming situation. So don't hate the morbid people who didn't get outraged, just pity us for being so screwed up... or whatever it is you need to do to move on.

[marisa]

You guys are acting like high school kids fighting about who likes what. It's ridiculous.

This discussion has become useless and it's being closed.
