Sam, I was joking about the "I wonder why" because she is hot. I did listen to them and I agree....very good.
Posted by Sam 'The Made Man' Hain (Member # 3150) on :
I know you were joking. Just not sure if you've checked out every link I've posted there as I've posted quite a few. I'm thinking of buying the CD from 'In This Moment' tomorrow. Last I knew it was going for $7.99 at Hot Topic.
Posted by 80'sRocked (Member # 6979) on :
I'm definitely going to download some of their music.

Vocal Noms
Metal is nowhere near my kind of music, but I do love Corey Taylor's voice. I remember getting such a shock when I heard him sing "Bother". Why would a guy with a voice like that be in a band where he does nothing but screech?
Sorry guys, I don't mean to be insulting but this kind of music is just not my bag. But hey, I like Kylie Minogue, so I know what it's like to be marginalised!!

Stitch
I understand where you are coming from but in both bands that he is in, Corey does a lot more than just screech.
If you like his voice in bother then you should definitely check out songs like
Vermilion Part 2 ZZyxz Road Through Glass Snuff Dead Memories Circle
VermiliNOMS Part 2 Posted by pettyfan (Member # 2260) on :
Dead Memories and Through Glass are awesome songs...
Posted by MotleyRulz (Member # 3598) on :
I always had a thing for Shirley Manson of Garbage fame. I think she's on Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles now.....
Posted by jdocster (Member # 5752) on :
For "Pure" vocal ability and quality mine are...
Freddie Mercury (Queen) Jimi Jamison (Survivor) Steve Perry (Journey) Brad Delp (Boston) Steve Walsh (Kansas)
This was very hard...

Possibly the best male vocals ever is Miljenko(Mike)Matijevic. Be sure to listen to the whole song.
hmm.. are we doing top vocals from the 80s? or can you choose anyone?
i'll go with 80s singers since this is on the 80s music board:
1. dale bozzio (missing persons) 2. dave gahan (depeche mode) 3. pat benatar 4. daryl hall (hall & oates) 5. axl rose (GnR)
Posted by Sam 'The Made Man' Hain (Member # 3150) on :

This guy is really good. I didn't know that he did the songs for the movie Rock Star. Excellent! I put him up there with Europe lead singer Joey Tempest. Posted by 80'sRocked (Member # 6979) on :

I actually met him and hungout with this band back in the day. I took guitar lessons from both guitarists in Steelheart. Great group of guys....and sure knew how to party. The good old days. Posted by jdocster (Member # 5752) on :
Pretty cool... Did I tell you that I lived next to Dr. Emmet Brown in Hill Valley? Just kidding.
