Worst voice of a singer.

[supermariopro101]

I'll go with the Jonas Brothers lead singer and any other stupid pop band that comes out of Disney's ***.

 

[JLynn943]

That song is terrible in general. Do you know any death metal bands that aren't on Rock Band? I'd guess not.

I don't know names. :/ My brother listens to it though, so I've heard random songs.

What constitutes good death metal? recommendations? since apparently what my brrother listens to is bad

 

[drcossack]

The obvious ones like Gerard Way are far too easy, so I'm going to go for the not so obvious ones.


Geoff Tate

Since you're obviously just listing those names to piss people off, the only one I'm going to comment on is Geoff Tate. Have you ever even listened to classic Queensrÿche? Tate is ****ing amazing in Mindcrime:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJb3Lcvtn4M&feature=channel_page - I remember now, Anarchy-X, Revolution Calling.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjQ6no6PUm0&feature=channel_page - Suite Sister Mary

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aflnLP5mK0 - I don't Believe in Love

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5E-W6c4tsA - Eyes of a Stranger

They're all live versions from '91.

Phil Collins... Omg.. its like hearing someone rub there fingernails against a blackboard...rubbing baloons... and scratching styrofoam all at the same time.

 

[Symphony X]

For starters, go to Death. Pretty much the founders of the US death metal genre.

I agree with this like you wouldn't believe... My nephew is 2 years old, and the only movie he wants to watch is the animated Tarzan. I never realized how many ****ing times Phil Collins sings in that movie. I just want to beat Phil Collins over the head with a metal bar, throw him into a lake, then drop millions of steak knives into his body. Sorry, got a bit graphic there...

Edit: Listening to Another Brick in the Wall Part 2 by Pink Floyd, and I think I found the worst singer ever! Near the end, this random old dude lectures the kids about how they can't have pudding if they didn't eat their meat. HE is the worst singer ever.

He's got the whole soundtrack to that movie on lock down, son. Collins is the man. I think you guys have been drinkin' too much Haterade; consider switching to PowerThirst.

Also, I think Tim Armstrong deserves to be mentioned. His voice doesn't bother me the way others do, but he just isn't at all good at what he's paid to do. I theorize that he does not know what notes are, nor how to go about hitting them.

 

[Watchful_Eye]

The singer of "My Chemical Romance". I cannot listen to him longer then 10 seconds.

And no, DM vocalists aren't bad, not one bit. They're just not mainstream friendly, so you wouldn't like it. I'd die for it.

cool, thanks, I'll check these out.

I don't only listen to mainstream by the way, though I listen to that too. It's just that if I don't like the vocals, I generally don't bother with the music. Vocals are just as important to me as the rest of the instruments, so I don't usually like songs where the vocals don't seem to fit. I'm not saying they have to have a great voice, but it's more what they do with it and if it adds to the song, if any of that makes any sense.

 

[User_Maat_Re]

Nothing fits Death metal more than Death growls. DM would just not be the same.

Don't worry though man. I used to **** my pants listening to Death metal. It's an acquired taste. It grows on you, you'd be amazed how much you'll like it later on.

Melodic Death Metal. Most of it is really lame and gay. But there are good ones. They're also much easier to get into than normal Death Metal. Stuff like At the gates, In Flames(old), Dark Tranquility, Kalmah, Carcass(Heartwork). Death(Symbolic) is not melodeath but is easy to get into.

You like Thrash btw?

 

[Lotasin]

I personally love Phil Collins. Though I have no idea why.

 

[Green Lantern]

David Hasselhoff

 

[Peek~]

David Hasselhoff

Nothing wrong here

 

[Green Lantern]

Oh, I thought this was the, 'Worst music video ever' thread.

 

[User_Maat_Re]

As for worst singers. I'd say all the Deathcore, Metalcore and hardcore singers. With their whiny screechy voice, or their Pig sequels. Pig sequels are not ****ing brutal. Those emo pussys will never get it.

 

[Crystallion]

I have not listened to enough bad singers till now, but Amy Winehouse when she's all coked up, THAT's bad. I mean, it's embarrassing.

Other than that, I don't really know. I still haven't encountered some really bad Japanese singers (since I only listen to that stuff or videogame music), therefore, I don't know many bad occidental singers.

 

[Symphony X]

Bring Me The Horizon is a prime example of this.

Cryptopsy - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJcQAG0p42A

Cryptopsy is moreso Deathcore.

Wintersun is another Melodic Death band, and is very easy to get into.

[Thrillhouse-vh.]

lol

Not sure if this is a joke or not, but wow. Who do you actually consider a good singer?

Not so obvious? What?

I didn't think anybody else thought this but me.

Understandable.

I'm starting to think you're just lookin' to go against the grain, and piss a couple people off.

...And now I know you are.

Definitely.

Why does no one take me seriously.

 

[Symphony X]

Because you can't honestly label most of those men as bad vocalists. You can dislike them, their genre of music, their musical style, the words that come out of their mouths; but you cannot say they aren't vocally talented.

 

[missedwithtruestrike]

i cant stand the guy that sings for rush, dunno his, but i hate him.

 

[User_Maat_Re]

Cryptopsy is moreso Deathcore.

Only the new Cryptopsy is. They were the ****ing ****, until they got rid of Lord worm and got that new *** singer. It sucks how many great bands go that route.

 

[the melon!!!!!]

Honestly, the only problems with singers I have with my styles of music (hardcore, alternative, punk, screamo if you call it that) are the singer for Aiden (just disgusting) and the singer for Killswitch Engage (this isn't even a big problem, but it has been pointed out by others that the guy sounds like a Wigglytuff in some parts of the songs).

 

[BubbleTea]

anyone ever heard of Wing?
they featured her on south park a while ago
she is my bad singing idol.
But really? I can't believe she has so many CDs out.
I don't even think she writes her own songs... o_o

 

[Meleeruler]

The singer from Obituary (John Tardy?) is embarrassingly horrible from what Obituary songs I've heard. Sure, I like death metal here and there, but listening to that guy sing doesn't even seem like he's taking it seriously.

 

[KMB23]

Tom Delonge - he sucks, have you ever seen videos of him singing live??? terrible

death metal - seems to me like a joke gone terribly wrong.. ok, i don't really think that, but honestly, i don't know how people ACTUALLY enjoy that music...

 

[Thrillhouse-vh.]

How CAN'T you?

 

[Deleted member]

People who like metal
75% play or know someone who plays metal
20% like the guitars
4.8% like it to be "cool"
0.198% like in for comedic appeal
0.002% actually like it

I fall into the guitars section

 

[Peek~]

Must be too deep for you

As said before in the thread, it's an acquired taste. I used to think the same way you did.

@ Godsmith: I must be in the .002%, then. o.o;

*headbangs to Destroyer 666*

 

[KMB23]

i like music with comprehensible lyrics that actually have meaning behind them. I also like a bit of originality in what i listen to. all death metal i've ever heard has sounded the same.
don't get me wrong.. i do enjoy some music with screaming.. just not death metal.
the main reason i hate death metal is that to me it seems like music for people who want to be tough or "hardcore". it doesn't make you a badass. (wasn't trying to offend anyone, it's just how i feel about that kind of music)

soooo true.

i used to be mad into the fall of troy. they are probably the closest to metal i've ever liked.

If you're disgusted by the music and not listening to it intently, then of course it's going to sound all the same to you.
Although I do admit there is some death metal that is repetitive, it's not what I listen to.

http://www.wikihow.com/Appreciate-Death-Metal

Look up a band like Carcass (Heartwork album), or Destroyer 666 (Phoenix Rising album). Try to listen to it without bias, and see if you have the same opinion.

 

[Deleted member]

The only metal I listen to is songs with minimal/no vocals. Don't get me wrong, I realize that singing metal is tough (my friend actually sings metal) but, I just can't take those awful voices. When you grow up listening to Toto and ABBA you may understand. I've also noticed that every song is about death/destruction/hell/blood/gore.

Short Version: I hate the vocals, love the guitar.

 

[KMB23]

i just listened to the song "heartwork" by carcass. it actually wasn't at all like i thought it would be, but i still didn't like it. i guess that music just isn't for me. but after actually listening to it.. i guess i could see that some people would enjoy it... just not me.

but i still don't see how ANYONE could like a band like cannibal corpse.

 

[Thrillhouse-vh.]

Nobody likes Cannibal Corpse because they're a ****ty band, whereas Death Metal bands like Death and Edge of Sanity are not.

 

[User_Maat_Re]

You guys are ****ing giving me a heart attack. I can't ****ing see straight.

The singer from Obituary (John Tardy?) is embarrassingly horrible from what Obituary songs I've heard. Sure, I like death metal here and there, but listening to that guy sing doesn't even seem like he's taking it seriously.

He's absolutely PERFECT for Obituary. Very special at what he does. Serious as ****, no kidding matter.

death metal - seems to me like a joke gone terribly wrong.. ok, i don't really think that, but honestly, i don't know how people ACTUALLY enjoy that music...

For the atmosphere, for the amazigng Guitar work, solos and riffs, for the originality, for the creativity, for the sheer amount of talent it ****ing takes to play this music, for the vocals, blastbeats. Every ****ing thing about it. Amazing.

0.002% actually like it

I hate you.

i like music with comprehensible lyrics that actually have meaning behind them.

So what if some of it doesn't have good lyrics. It isn't poetry, emotions can be sometimes expressed in music. If lyrics can cause you to not listen to a song, then simply don't listen to music when you can just read the lyrics.

I also like a bit of originality in what i listen to. all death metal i've ever heard has sounded the same.

You either:
1)Haven't listen to enough good Death metal bands(THERE'S A LOT).
2)You can't tell the difference, And cant tell if it's original, no matter how much it was.

the main reason i hate death metal is that to me it seems like music for people who want to be tough or "hardcore". it doesn't make you a badass. (wasn't trying to offend anyone, it's just how i feel about that kind of music)

That's what we like to call, Posers.

I've also noticed that every song is about death/destruction/hell/blood/gore.

Short Version: I hate the vocals, love the guitar.

A lot of the songs are about that(nothing wrong with that). A lot are about other subjects(life... etc). Vocals are great.

but i still don't see how ANYONE could like a band like cannibal corpse.

Because they are great. Atleast their first 4 albums and Gallery of Suicide. They turned into Generic unoriginal boring crap when they got rid of Chris Barnes.

Nobody likes Cannibal Corpse because they're a ****ty band, whereas Death Metal bands like Death and Edge of Sanity are not.

Again, first 4 albums and GOS.

 

[Autydragoon]

it may that I just dislike the way he sings, but the lead singer of Nickelback is, in my mind, pretty bad. Everytime I hear him he reminds me of a lumberjack.

 

[Red the Ghost]

That band is horrible in general. >.>

 

[ExCeL 52]

Lol.. Im sorry but Phil Collins sucks alot...You must be on that purple drank to think hes good.
Your a BRoomer now?
