Guest cartman Report post Posted November 29, 2002 I totally hafta agree with the Cradle Of Filth singer...Oh my GOD that voice pierces my ears. The music itself is awesome just get rid of that high pitched scream! Macy Gray I cant stand. Period. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Madmartigan21 Report post Posted November 29, 2002 Many that I would agree with have been mentioned. I'll now target some rock legends that bug me to death. - Kurt Cobain - Neil Young - Janice Joplin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest godthedog Report post Posted November 29, 2002 that's blasphemy mentioning mccartney. when he wanted to, that man could WAIL. 'helter skelter', 'why don't we do it in the road', 'i'm down', 'oh darling' and others show that he was a great screamer. not as great as lennon, who could put everything into the vocals & just scream his guts out, but pretty damn impressive. neil young's a horrible singer. horrible. but i still love him. lou reed's voice is pretty bad technically, but it's got a lot of personality that i like. britney spears is incapable of singing. she just kinda whispers and breathes, and somehow people mistake it for music. the lead singer of ac/dc (whose name escapes me for the moment) pisses me off to no end. i cannot stand that man's voice. it's so grating and loud, but there's nothing behind it. i might like ac/dc, were it not for his "i'm a dying cat" voice.

B. Brian Brunzell 0 Report post Posted November 29, 2002 You're probably thinking of Brian Johson. I swear, he sounds like he's got throat cancer thesedays. His voice sounded good on Back In Black, but that's about it. AC/DC Live is one of the worst live albums I've ever heard, thanks to the God-awful vocals of Mr. Johnson. At least Angus sounded great. I sure hope you weren't talking about Bon Scott though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Matt Young Report post Posted November 29, 2002 I'd have to say that Macy Gray, Celine Dion, and Bjork get my nominations. One guy who just annoys the fuck out of me with his voice and queerness, although he admittedly is a better singer than the aforementioned 3, is Justin Timberlake. Just the way he acts, his fake 'black' accent, and his goat-like bellowing makes me want to puke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Metal Maniac Report post Posted November 29, 2002 Who's Bruce Dickinson? Someone new? Kotz = dead. DEAD. DEADEADEADEAD. No, he's DED, because he's so dead there's not time for the A. Bruce Dickinson is the current lead singer of Iron Madien, quite possibly one of the greatest rock bands of all time, and he has been since 1983, minus a short gap in the 90's where he chose to pursue a solo career and Blaze Bayley took his place. He's been nicknamed the Air Raid Siren for his singing talents. That is to say, he's often high-pitched, but not to the extent of say...Rob Halford or King Diamond. HOWEVER, I must say that I can honestly see how some people wouldn't like his voice. I myself don't like some high-pitched vocals *CoughcoughKINGDIAMONDcough*, and so I can easily see how someone like AoO, who's used to a more death-metal vocal style (Very low and guttural) would dislike it. If you don't like the man's style, that's one thing, but to not know who he is? You is so ded... But hey, personally, he's my favourite singer, but then again, I'm your typical power metal mark, and it's generally the concencus in the power metal community that Dickinson is the best of the lot. Whatever floats your boat. Though I must say - I would like King Diamond so much more if he didn't shriek every 3 seconds. The guy's voice, when sung at a lower tone, is awesome, but even *I* get sick of someone screaming in my ear eventually. Halford has the same problem sometimes, I find. It's like they shriek to show off that they CAN, not because it adds to the song. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Sassquatch Report post Posted November 29, 2002 Jello Biafra. I just can not stand his voice. "Too Drunk To Fuck" just annoys the piss out of me when I hear it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest saturnmark4life Report post Posted November 29, 2002 Oh God, 'who's Bruce Dickinson?' that was kinda sad for a grown man. Ja Rule has comic value, as do shaggy and the guy from creed, so i'll leave them out. Matt Bellamy from muse is a fucking pussy, as is the guy from ash, and i've never liked cobain either.

Guest redbaron51 Report post Posted November 29, 2002 James Labrie annoys me at times. Yes Neil Young is a horrible singer, but I can tolerate him more than McCartney. The only reason why Halford can sing so high because he gets analy raped by young men Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kinetic Report post Posted November 29, 2002 I have no problem with Neil Young's vocals. There are some songs--"Mellow My Mind," for instance--where he fails miserably at hitting high notes, but that stuff is kept on the album for dramatic purposes. His voice has gotten a little gruffer with age, but it still rings true to me. And Bjork...I won't even comment on that. She has one of the top five voices in music today, in my opinion.

Guest saturnmark4life Report post Posted November 29, 2002 well, it's fair enough, i can imagine how you feel swamped with metalheads all the time. Anglesault hadn't heard of kylie, for example. (though i really, really thought he was joking) But then he likes aerosmith so nevermind him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest The Metal Maniac Report post Posted November 29, 2002 Hey, I had never heard of Kylie until I starting coming back to this board. I think I saw one of her CD's in the record store once...maybe. And Baron: It's not rape if you enjoy/request it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DARRYLXWF Report post Posted November 29, 2002 I HATE the singer of Creed. I FUCKING hate that voice. Oh, and Bruce Dickinson rules as does James Hetfield, especially during the Black Album. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Kinetic Report post Posted November 30, 2002 Were it not for Kotzenjunge, Kylie Minogue would be of no consequence to me. I've heard of her outside of the board--in fact, Pitchfork did a tongue-in-cheek review of her latest record on April Fool's Day--but I never paid her any attention until he started putting her in his sig and so on. I'll say that I hate that typical radio rock voice that's emerged in the last couple of years, i.e. deep and not particularly tuneful. Scott Stapp is definitely an example.
