antiGUY gives his
top 5 list of music stuff. Could be songs, people, a stupid trend... nothing
is sacred to antiGUY
This
Months Top 5
Top 5 worst vocalist
With music, you either like it or you don't.
That's true, there are scores of artists I can't stand but I wouldn't call
them talentless; Their music just doesn't do it for me for various reasons.
But there are those who despite vast shortcomings in the talent department
manage to break into the music business and actually find some success.
Different people have different preferences, some people zoom in on guitars,
some on the rhythm, for me it has always been the vocals. A band can have
the most amazing musicians in the world but put a poor vocalist in front
of them, then you lost me. So this month, I thought we should take a look
at some of music's weakest vocalist. People that just don't measure up
to their contemporaries. You notice I didn't say singers because I don't
feel these people qualify for that esteemed title.
5. Darius " Monotone" Rucker from
Hootie and the Blowfish - He wouldn't be so bad if he
could sing more than two notes.
4. Macy "Gravel Throat" Gray -
I
don't get it, she sounds like she has spent the past 20 years downing a
fifth of Jack and smoking 3 packs a day.
3.Fred "I love myself" Durst
from
Limp Bizkit- Fred can come close to singing when
he wants to, the problem is he never wants to.
2. Missy "Da Rap Dat Don't Flow Yo!"
Elliot - This women baffles me, how in the hell did
she get a record contract? She can't rap, she doesn't know how to rhyme
(ending every other line with "Yo!" or the same word doesn't count) and
God knows it's not her sex appeal. I'm not a rap fan but even I can see
she gives the whole genre a big black eye. PS Lack of talent does not make
you innovative! She should stick to producing other artists.
And the number one worst vocalist
Courtney "Ono" Love-
Not since Yoko Ono has a voice been unleashed on the public that utterly
assaults the eardrums to the point of bleeding, where you would happily
end your life to make it stop. I give Courtney props for some of her anti
Major Label stances and acting ability but she can't sing to save her life.
I don't ask much, but she should at least try and sing in key.
Your
turn, what do you think?

well as long as you don't like Missy Elliot, lol.
Meh, a lot of people don't like Stapp. I like Myles Kennedy from Alter Bridge much better than Stapp though.
Posted by Guy:
Lots of stuff.. sigur ros, mogwai, explosions in the sky.. normal rock: Superdrag, Hey Mercedes, and Minus the Bear.. and i dont really think my music is the best.. i think classical and bluegrass is amazing to, but it dosn't really appeal to me much.. but i mean seriously many of the bands that i have seen listed on this page SUCK!!! and have aweful singers. so, its funny to hear people defending them.. well, tremonti is alright at guitar, but scott stap sings like a F@g.. so thats that
Posted by Tremonti333:
sry about the triple post....i was editing stuff in it...the top one is the corrected one
Posted by Tremonti333:
I do play an instrument, guitar (obviously.) I hate Nirvana, MCR, Greenday, and all that other crap thats overplayed. Yes I like Creed mainly for Tremonti (obviously). I've been playing guitar for a while and I respect Tremonti as a 'musician' and I enjoy listening to the voice of Stapp. When I typed 'musical enlightenment?' I was questioning what you meant. Not mocking you or w/e you thought I was doing. I'm putting my oppinions on here, just like everyone else here is. Well alright, Guy, what is it that you listen to, that is so much better than everything myself, and everyone else listens to?

are you scared to say anymore tremonti...obviously you are a Creed fan (mark tremonti is Creeds BAD ASS guitar player) hahahaha...why don't you speak your mind and tell everyone why Creed is soooo good...i mean, you seem to be musically enlightened. Maybe you can tell us why Linkin Park, Nickelback, Adema, Papa Roach, Puddle of Mud, and POD are sooo amazing...hahahahahahahahahahahhaha!!! DON'T LISTEN TO THE RADIO!!!
Posted by Tremonti333:
musical enlightenment?
Posted by Guy:
Does anyone else have something to say?
Posted by Guy:
Im sorry i had a typo. I meant to say: Sure, i liked them once too, but as you get older you should realize that some bands are NOT as good as you had thought they were. ~PS- Please, to those of you who may be offended by my comments and want to try and stand up for your band...DON'T. I know musical taste is an oppinion but you will just look stupid trying to stand up for your band..because, trust me, they are crapty. Throw the CD away and follow the steps i provided toward musical enlightenment.
Posted by Guy :
First of all i've read a lot of the posts and the majority of you have bad taste in music anyway. Some, of you obviously don't. DMB sucks...Slipknot way sucks. I don't know how anyone really likes a band so Fin phony and crapty. MTV does suck and fame does not have anything to do with talent nowadays. Sometimes singers can have bad voices but still be good for their particular band, remember that.. but they are still bad singers. This new wave crap like Modest Mouse and Frans Ferdinand have mega crapty singers they try to be crapty, they suck. I don't think they are good for their bands either. Modest Mouse could be much better with a good singer. A lot of you have had good points, but some of you are just rediculous. Creed is good...YEAH RIGHT! Nu metal sucks. Nickelback sucks..listen to their retarded lyrics. Now, im dropping a big bomb on you all.. this is not blasphemy, but Kurt Cobain is a very bad singer and he is not G*d or a savior. He mumbles and gurgles and sometimes i wonder why people are so obsessed over Nirvana. Sure, i liked them once too, but as you get older you should realize that some bands are as good as you had thought they were. Nirvana was really great at the time, but get over it being a bad singer and guitar player does not make you a musical genius or revolutionary artist. Some bands have pretty good singers, but somewhat crapty music...Copeland. This is a hard topic to debate, but remember...being a good singer means hitting the right notes and being in the right key.. not trying to be different and saying that mumbleing is unique and talented. ***Stop listening to the radio and MTV. Learn to play an instrument. You will be much better off, and you will have more room to talk about good music.

Posted by Tremonti333:
also, 'KKK666' is a douchebag.
Posted by Tremonti333:
for those that dislike and show disrespect towards the band 'Creed', you can go an **** YOURSELVES! they are very talented especially Mark Tremonti, I mean listen to his solos and riffs, he is ****in' amazing. and Scott Stapp may be a douche but his voice is awesome and his lyrics are even better. I guess you have to have a certain taste for it but if you like Pearl Jam or STP or etc, there is no reason to hate his voice. Brian Marshall, is an incredible bassist and Scott Phillips is a great drummer. they are an incredibly talented band, so whats not to like about them.
ALSO, Zack De La Rocha is awesome because he is a bad ass, his voice isnt that bad but all his songs have meaning, actually all of his songs are basically 'sticking it to the man' or i dunno insulting the government but who cares he's cool, so there.

I dunno about you guys but I think missy eliot does have stupid lyrics when you think about it, but that's not what most fans think about. you hear the beat and the basicaly what is all sounds like without considering that lyric didn't rhym, well sometimes. but I like her cause her music is SO addictive!

what makes these people famous isn't necessarily vocal talent, or creative ability. It's all about charisma, difference, and idiosyncratic appeal.. ie PERSONALITY! You love them, or (as in Fred Dursts case) love to hate them.

I don't think you are in position to judge someone's ability to rap and what is considered innovative. Even though Missy Elliot and Macy gray can't sing, what about Britney Spears and Ashanti? They shouldn't be allowed to sing in the shower.

Personally, I am very very white. I like all kinds of music (except country). I am a very white DJ. I listen to rap as much as I do rock.

Posted by lilgigajr.:
i think that who ever dissed missy elliot must me a hater and if u don't know what that is, then let me tell u, it means that she is doing something, so its one thing more than whoever wrote it about her. and if u listen to some of her song u would know that she sings some times to and she sounds very good.

I think eminem sucks leave rap for the blacks.

I think Eminem I (spelt his name rong because he sucks ass)I the worst vocalist in the music indrustries. leave Rap for the blacks. and you can't say crap without saying rap.
Posted by Jason:
i have to say, brian johnson from ac/dc just cannot sing sometimes he is tolerable but his voice is terrible when you get down to it. bon scott was much better. kurt cobain and bob dylan werent very good singers (they made up for it by being excelent songwriters.)
Posted by not Axl Rose:
I'm just curious, but WHY O WHY is it that everytime there's a message board ANYWHERE... even if the article has NOTHING to do with AXL ROSE... everyone decides to get involved in a huge arguement about AXL ROSE??? I guess that really says something about the guy considering that he's been out of the public eye for years.
Rock on, AXL... even if everyone else thinks you're dead.

Posted by drex:
5. Macy gray has an unappealing voice (i suppose maybe she can sing?)
4. Chester in Linkin Park (Overuse of his radio friendly scream, I saw them in concert before they were big, they did rock live)
3. Eminem - It's a ear piercing getto white kids voice (like talking out of your nostrals)
2. Scott Stapp of Creed (made tinting your voice like stp 'gay' from overuse)
1. Fred Dust a whinner (ruined the metallica song on mtv's icons 'just leave me alone!' hah)
contrary to some previous comments: Trent Reznor is an unbelievable singer (he learned a few tricks at berkley). I don't like Kid Rocks songs but I saw him take the place of the injured James at a Metallica show and was blown away (kid rock, I think may have outdone James). Chino from the deftones has a special style he purposly picks the flat notes at times for effect, it's flat yet perfectly intune not a cent off, the man has control, you are just too musicly retarded to appreciate it. Dave Matthews may write sappy college tunes but I heard a live bootleg of an accoustic show and he has talent to die for. Billy Corgan of Zwan has a very unique voice he has tons of control over it though great singer. Rivers Comuo of Weezer is a great singer, do you expect a person with a metal head voice to be singing songs about breaking up? Kurt cobain had a love for imperfection no doubt, who wants to sound perfect and boring?, his raw sound is great and I haven't heard anybody able to reproduce it yet.
For the upcomming hardcore scene, screaming constantly makes doo-doo hardcore don't do that. For the rap-metal scene rapping constantly makes doo-doo rap metal. For everybody mix it up don't do the same thing all the time that makes doo-doo music.
Posted by Seslicue:
My worst 5 rock vocalists are:
1. Billy Corgan - It works on the cd but damn, that voice was not made to sing live.
2. Jonathan Davis - I liked his voice on their Debute but on their latest cd Untouchables, he tries to actually sing and it sounds strained. It also sounds strained and weak live.
3. Axl Rose - That high pitch voice sounds terrible, and ripped off from AC/DC, which also sounds sh*t.
4. Zach de la Rocha - I guess he's a rapper, but damn hs voice gets irritating.
5.Gary Hiebner - from local SA band Jimmy12inch, Gary's voice unfortunatly has brought j12inch down from being a world class rock band too a barely likeable punk/rock band.
Posted by they call me horrible names and i can't take it anymore:
I have to agree with everybody who has said MAYNARD JAMES KEANAN is the best vocalist... his unique style can just draw you in and you can listen to it for hours. And for anyone who say "Rock music is crap...they're all thick" well look at the qualifications of the bandmembers of tool. People also said to me Tool are a crap band coz they can only make wierd music. I admit that tools sound is unique and for those who don't actually listen to music and just put it on full volume and let it all pass over them then I can understand why you wouldn't like music as good as tool, but don't make up $hit like they can only do one type of music.... i'm talkin crap now....that's what too much alcohol does to you....anyways maynard sang with some woman but i forgot her name... and he asked to sing muhammed my friend which isn't really much of a rock song... and work out the point of me saying that yourself coz i can't be bothered to...make love npot war
Posted by speaker of truths:
GOD antiGUY, did you nail five of the worst, but I think you should've made this a bit longer. You forgot the singer of the Deftones,(sorry, but he really is tonedeaf), Billy Corrigan,(saw him live, and JESUS, a cat in heat can hit a note with more efficiancy), Jon Davis from Korn,(no explination necisary), and hundreds of whiny nasal country music singers........as to the best? You guys should hear Russel Allen, from Symphony X.

I don't really give a damn about whether or not a pop star can sing because their songs are empty and stupid. Dave Matthews will rot in hell with all of us. F*ck him. Nirvana was a damn good band. I'm thinking about blowing my head off like Kurt did. We're all headed to the same place anyway. Props go to SPfan, Brian Moore, all Slipknot fans, and a couple other ppl that I can't remember their names. F*CK YOU ALL! F*CK US ALL! WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE AND BURN IN HELL! LET'S SHOOT, BURN, AND STAB ONE ANOTHER! LET'S WORSHIP SATAN AND CUT UP GOATS! BILLY CORGAN IS GOD AND YOU HAVE DENIED HIM AND WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE!

the worst vocalists...and not necesarily in this order but, billy corgan, i like the music but his voice isn't all that great. eh...no one else seems to be coming to mind

Posted by jizza:
DMB do play their instruments well, but the band's total disrespect for the art of singing as well as its mediocre song writing abilities make them worthless because there are many bands who can play the hell of their instruments AND put the effort into having a good lead singer at the same time. ONLY if Dave Matthews swallowed his ego and got a real singer, they'd be a whole lot better. He's too damn greedy.
Posted by H:
Bob Dylan. I CANNOT stand his voice. I might actually like the songs better if he took some voice lessons.
Posted by Random Musician:
I'm just a musician that likes to listen to other musicians who really know how to play music. His band just knows how to play their instruments. They're good at what they do. They have a lot of very varied tunes. I don't have Everyday yet, but I think they've gone downhill with their first three. Under the Table was great; a fully solid album. The next two have had increasing amounts of filler music though. But I don't let the fact that they're popular turn me away from them. My brother (also a great musician) turned me on to them about 7 years ago and I've been a fan ever since.

OK, maybe Led Zeppelin is a little better than Dave Matthews. But guys ... all my friends like Dave, so Dave is still the coolest cat.

Robert Plant had/has such class.He never talked down to his fans. He presumed his audience was as literate as he is. Sometimes he was disappointed, but oh well. Dave Matthews bores me to tears. I would take Paul Simon over him anyday, except GRACELAND, yuk!

i stand by my theory,dave is laughing his butt off all the way to the bank.i think he is a poor mans paul simon.,pretty much i think his whole gimmick is a phony,my wife wanted to go see this fool,and it was 70 bucks,all about the music? i think not

Rich Prep: I appreciate the support. However, I would still like to publicly state that I agree with him only in that which he stated he agrees with me. I wish to be in no way affiliated with his claims on the awe-inspiring nature of the video, nor with his persistance in affirming Matthews' superiority over Zeppelin.
Posted by a preppy rich kid:
one more thing ... Dave does not make cheesy poppy videos like N'Synk. Did anyone see the video for I Did It? It was so good! It was thought provoking. I thought that it was the deepest form of art ever created. Not even Gone With The Wind or Armageddon or Pearl Harbor were so creative when it comes to video making. I mean ... like, the part where Dave is in this Big trash can. That's just it! You know? Even Speilburgh couldn't have come up with something so awe-inspiring!
Posted by a preppy rich kid:
I completely agree with you. But he is better than Led Zep too. Now don't get me wrong, I have all Zep albums because Jimmy Page plays good acoustic guitar, but no one is better than Dave. NO ONE!
Posted by Random Musician:
To start, I agree with Mercury and iamsocool: MJ may or not be a sick bastard, but he was one hell of a performer, doing all sorts of new, cool, popular stuff. But I don't see why so many people have so much beef with Dave Matthews, i.e. those of you who condemn him for his "lame preppy music". He has an audience. He plays for it. You may not be part of that audience, but that's fine. Can't please everyone. That doesn't really go out to Samhain, although I quoted him/her. It more goes out to GREENMUSEQ. I will say this to Samhain though: there's a difference between the teeny-pops flashing tits or the rap/ alt./ punk/ whoever else screaming angry words and the Dave Matthews' appealing to the "preppies". The difference is that Dave is actually creating music. He's not screaming into a mic with 3 guitar cords backing him, nor is he releasing single after single of music that essentially sounds the same and was written by someone else. So long as he's keeping the music as the primary focus of his career and not simply distorting the art I love to gain prestige and money, I say let him play. To his discredit though, he doesn't go above Led Zeppelin. I'm sorry. It just doesn't happen.

hell, Dave is even more talented than the Counting Crows and the Spin Doctors. It don't get much better than that!

Jizza, if you don't like Dave Matthews, that's fine. But you can't deny that he's wildly popular nationwide. Someone likes what he's doing. I'll agree with you in that I'm not excited at all about the stuff I've been hearing from Everyday (although I don't own it yet). But I still consider Under the Table one of the best albums in my collection, without a single weak track on it.
Posted by Trendkill138:
Jizza, you might be right that Nirvana wouldn't have gone gold without MTV, but they were about as much an MTV band as, oh, let's say, Godflesh. The first time I saw Nirvana was on an episode of Headbanger's Ball, and I'm sure they were getting played on 120 Minutes, too. The point is, I saw bands like Godflesh and Sepultura on that same episode, and they are definitely NOT MTV bands. At the time, you could see a lot of bands on MTV that you wouldn't hear on the radio, unless you lived in one of the real big cities. "Smells Like Teen Spirit" was really too abrasive for the mainstream. Boy was I surprised when I heard it on a Top 40 station two months later! I don't know what your historical take on it was, but that is mine.
Posted by jizza:
I don't even own a Rush album, but it's not like I change the station when Rush comes on either. However, Geddy Lee has a very pleasant voice with a good range. As for Dave Matthews and Nirvana, just because something is original doesn't make it good. Also, just because you're a good musician doesn't mean that you are worth listening to. Dave Matthews is a great acoustic guitar player, but his music is lame. And Nirvana is nothing more than an MTV band. They would have never even gone gold without MTV.
Posted by Random Musician:
Maybe I went a little overboard and Dave. There have been a lot of original artists since Nirvana.
Posted by Random Musician:
I'd like to start by saying that I am a BIG Rush fan. Despite this, I realize that a lot of people seriously dislike Geddy Lee's voice and I was rather surprised that the Rush front man was not mentioned at all in the discussion. Also: whoever called Hey Jude "ever-annoying" needs help. One of the greatest songs ever. As for Kurt, I'm not a huge Nirvana guy. But I simply have to respect the musical world opened up by Nirvana, and a big part of what made them so ground-breaking was Cobain's un-traditional vocal techniques. Same exact thing goes for Dylan. And although the results have yet to be seen, I think Dave Matthews might have a similar effect. He's a very talented musician, as is everyone else who plays with him, and he's coming out with some of the most original music this country has seen in a while, possibly even since Nirvana. As an endnote: Mercury mentioned the patheticness of this young decade and the appropriateness of our lackey President. Couldn't be more true. Even Rome was really strong for only 200 years. Might be America's time to fall from the limelight, politically, economically and socially.

Well, all of the vocalists mentioned are pretty bad. On the subject of Cobain, I think he will be remembered more as a voice to the troubled and a prolific songwriter. I agree that a band NEEDS a good singer, otherwise all of the talent they posses is crap. One of the better incidences of a good singer making a band good is Maynard James Keenan from TooL/APC. This guy is one of those singers who I could listen to all night simply due to the fact that he can...sing. Corey from slipknot, he sings sometimes, but he is in a buttrock band that emphasises on anger and aggression, so the only thing that he is going to be known for is screaming

When I say new rock station, I don't mean the station is new, I mean 'new rock' station.
Posted by Mercury:
Ok, so I've been listening to a new rock station called Live 105 and another just like it, but I don't remember what they're called, but my point is, is I've been listening and the only two bands I've heard that I really liked were Weezer and Lit. Are these considered grunge now? Can anybody help me out on this? If they're not grunge...what catagory are they in? That "Hash Pipe" song just rocks!! Not much of a voice, that guy, but who cares when you rock like that? Cool stuff.
Posted by UHF:
Grunge is far from dead. Half of the modern rock bands out there sound like Seattle wannabes who missed the bandwagon by about 10 years. The grunge style may persist, but individual grunge bands are always destined for short careers. That's because the usual mode of grunge (i.e. angst, self-pitying, complaining about how bad one's life is) can only be seen as genuine when a band is first starting out. Once that band has achieved fame and wealth, they're screwed. Nobody wants to hear a multi-millionaire complaining about his supposedly sad life.
Posted by jizza:
The 90s was the worst decade. Not only did the mainstream suck then, but there weren't even many underground bands that were gook cos MTV's Nirvana made it uncool to be a rock band. Now the mainstream sucks even more than in the 90s, but at least metal is back in the underground - waiting to take over and rule the world like in the 70s and 80s. Like they say ... You Can't Kill Rock N' Roll! - even you d(K)urTbag, not even if you killed yourself!

Corey whatever of Slipknot does NOT sing. He screams like somebody is setting his a$$ on fire. The most useless band of all time. The most ridiculous excuse for a singer, ever. If Kurt Cobain (before he did die) was poisoned, stabbed and beheaded he'd be a better singer than that useless trash. And I say that, knowing full well that Kurt was not a great singer.
Posted by World Industries:
First of all, I never said f*ck Kurt Cobain, I have nothing against the guy and as a matter of fact I like Nirvana. Nevermind was a great cd but i'm just saying, Kurt's voice can't even begin to compare against Corey's. Stupid ShroomDevil.
Posted by Machiavelli:
I agree with your list of top 5 worst vocalists, however I don´t consider Fred Durst´s chief weakness to be his unwillingness to sing, but his lack of crativity ("but u neva know, when u gonna go..."). It´s this dull form of nu metal that is putting a black eye on the rock game. And what´s even more frightening is that this wack style is being copied now by other bands. However bad grunge became, it never sunk down to this level. Rage Against The Machine is the only band that has ever successfully pulled of a fusion of rock and rap, and that´s because they had something to say.
Posted by Mercury:
Potato, you say grunge is dead....but what I hear on the radio from todays "rock" artists sounds an aweful lot like the "grunge rock" I remember starting in the early 90's. I mean how many Eddie Vedder immitators are out there now? Almost every newish band I hear either sounds like they're aping Vedder or they sound like the Weezer guy. Nothing against Weezer themselves, but he doesn't exactly have the nicest voice I've ever heard. And EVERYBODY sounds like that....or, like I said the Eddie Vedder routine. I don't know......this day and age's rock and roll is quite sad. Quite sad indeed. If Staind is the best the oughts have to offer, we're in for the very worst decade in music.....ever.
Posted by potato:
grunge is dead it has been for a while, it seems the new things in at the minute is trash (slipknot, mudvayne) and rap-core (limp) and rock idols hardle exist anymore Kurt Cobain was a genius for killing himself he lived the dream of living for ever. if he didn`t kill himself he would of just been forgotten like the rest of the rock idols, can any one remember that band Korn boy where are they now? they started a new phase of hard rock music and now they simply just died there last album got absolutly no radio time. i think by this time next year its going to be, limp who slipknot they wore mask didn`t they? quote: Kurt Cobain if he was still alive he would be a rock idol just rock not f*ckin grunge, not f*ckin metal, just goddamn rock . You people are the reason rock is split into so many f*ckin catagories hmm rock never split into catagories it was a single catagory and i`m pretty sure Kurt would be known as the founder of grunge even if he was live or dead. i once found NIN in the rock section of a CD store and told them that they shouldn`t be there and this old fart said what are they then this peed me off he had no idea about the diffrence of music i told him about industrial music and diffrent types of techno and how there should be a punk music section because NOFX, MXPX, and blink 182 arnet heavy metal cause thats what he thought. i soon got a job there and i have to split the music in catagories.
Posted by BoogieMan13:
and another thing....why are you going to let such trivail things as this get to you. i agree that fred durst sucks, that limp bizkit is kiling the name of good rock music, and that courtney love is a hoe. but the argueing over kurt cobains status possibly being the same as slipknot is an understatenment, they are two comepletely different worlds grunge and thrash metal . you cant compaire them as a whole but separately you can. Slipknot is about to release their somphomor album they havent even begun to live up to their potential for changing the music industry. Kurt Cobain if he was still alive he would be a rock idol just rock not f*ckin grunge, not f*ckin metal, just goddamn rock . You people are the reason rock is split into so many f*ckin catagories as it is. if Slipknot and Kurt Cobain are all that are left for the icons of rock for future generations, then i dont say stupid slipknot or f*uck Kurt Cobain, I say stupid us.

Brian Moore: First of all, it's a mask...not make-up.
Secondly, if you think the band is band, fine, but I was replying to your
comment that Corey is a bad singer. Maybe he was having a bad show at the
Ozzfest. If you're not down with a lot of screaming in your music, I understand
but he can also sing his balls off. I find it very scary that they are
in the mainstream too. I when I bought that CD after their Ozzfest 98 stint,
I thought, "finally a band I like that won't become the 'next big thing.'"
Boy, was I wrong.
Posted by
Mercury: I've read your post, but the fact of the
matter is that I saw Slipknot at Ozzfest a few weeks ago and I couldn't
believe how unbelievably bad this band was. It was absolute noise and aggression.
Marilyn Manson came on right after, and I have to say, first off, that
I hate this guy with a passion, but his show was a delightful walk in the
melodic park after what I heard from Slipknot!! The only possitive thing
I can say about Slipknot, judging by what I had to put up with, was that
the drummer's make-up looked very cool. Like maybe he should be playing
for Alice Cooper or something. Crimeny, what an assault on the ears those
guys were though!!! I felt like I had somehow ended up in Hell. I find
it very, very scary that these guys are in the pop mainstream......what
is this world coming to?
Posted by
Brian Moore: I certainly call what Corey Taylor (#8
of Slipknot) singing. I think he has one of the biggest ranges in rock
today. How many other people can scream bloody murder to holding a note
the next second. Listen to "Requiem" on the Lynn Strait tribute CD. Or
take a listen to "Me Inside." It's on a re-release of Slipknot's self-titled.
Just because you don't like a band, it doesn't mean that they aren't talented.
Take a look at my earlier post and see what I mean.

to see you people actually sing then we will see who is the worst vocalists
ever. F*ck i hate people who dis artists who are trying to make a living
just like everyone else. i think everyone needs to grow out of theyre damn

AXL RULES: 1. I don't like One In a Million either.
It's one of the weakest songs GN'R has ever made, but it's not a racist/homophobic,
etc. song. Axl later says in the song, "radicals and racist, don't point
you finger at me," which shows that the song is a satire of the late 80s
political climate. 2.Axl DID LIKE Nirvana and even wanted to tour with
them. 3. Axl bugged Kurt and Courtney because Kurt was wrongfully bashing
GN'R for being racist (come on, Slash is half black half jewish; if Axl
was racist, how could he have accepted Slash?) and because Courtney once
attacked Axl and bit his ear. 4. Axl did NOT kick out all of the original
members. They UNFORTUNATELY left the band due to creative differences.
Slash wanted to do another Appetite For Destruction, while Axl wanted to
evolve. So they split. THAT IS EVEN BETTER FOR THE FANS BECAUSE NOW WE
GET APPETITE-LIKE PURE R&R ALBUMS FROM SLASH AS WELL AS EVOLVED GN'R
ALBUMS FROM AXL - well, at least we will eventually. And it doesn't matter
that the new GN'R has new musicians, because it is the voice that is most
important with a band like GN'R and because the new musicians are just
as good if not better than the old ones. 5. Axl was a pompous ass, I never
said he wasn't. And he didn't claim not to be one either. The difference
with Kurt Cobain was that he did claim to be all down to earth when he
was just as pompous as Axl.
Posted by
Paranoia: You know, all of this is funny. I'm kind
of partial to Nirvana myself, so I have to side with corporate... But.
Damn right, mindskrew, this conversation doesn't rank up high on the intelligence
scale. And yes, Axl is a pompous ass, but his music is fine, so I'm looking
beyond that. He LIKED Nirvana, though, AXL RULES? What the f*ck is that?
If he liked Nirvana, he wouldn't have constantly bugged the sh*t out of
them, specifically Kurt and Courtney. And am I the only one who thinks
it's questionable that the guy f*cking kicked out all of the original band
members, kept the name, and started over? They'd all run out of patience
with this guy. Gee, I wonder why? The only reason why Kurt said that a
person shouldn't listen to GN'R and Nirvana is because they were kind of
like direct opposites. In the liner notes of "Incesticide," Kurt even tells
racists and homophobes not to buy his records, and then on the other side
of the spectrum, you have Axl Rose singing bigot sh*t like "One in a Million."
If there's one GN'R song I can't stand the most, it's that one. But anyways,
corporate sounds a bit shallow in their reasoning, I guess. I like both
of these bands, so yeah, it does kind of contradict what Kurt said. So
let's keep to the topic of the page, and quite simply that is "Top 5 Worst
Vocalist." That doesn't mean the band automatically sucks, okay? I'm pretty
sure antiGUY even SAYS that. So you two can stop this petty argument any
time now. Just don't start it with me.

losser: Wotz with attacking Kurt n Axl etc., just
coz they quit doin' what the so called "fans" wanted & loved. Who has

anywhere, i liked nirvana, but i have come to terms, HE's DEAD, GET OVER
IT. What happend to some actual intelligent comments, are the majority
of you growing up in a place where only bands on the top 50 billboard chart
get airplay, theres so much more thats not worth listening to, then the
same 10 to 15 bands you all B*tch about every goddaam day. To get to my

Posted by
SubXavier: Heart-Shaped Box was an opposition to
the Catholic Church's view on abortion. And I think that the fact that
Kurt didn't really have a sheened and primed voice that gave them their
credibility, and that instilled in an entire -generation- to say, "this
could be me." It gave Gen-Xers their hope back. I'm not Gen-X, but I still
understand how much raw emotion can show through in those songs. Listen
to "Where Did You Sleep Last Night," and you'll see what I mean.
Posted by
AXL RULES: What are you talking about? Nobody understood
Nirvana's lyrics. What ta hell do the words to Heart-Shaped Box mean? At
least Axl wasn't a pompous ass who went around telling his fans what they
can and can't do. Kurt was always saying how someone can't listen to Nirvana
and Guns N' Roses at the same time (which is BS, because I used to like
both). Axl, on the other hand, said that he liked Nirvana and even invited
them to tour with GN'R. Just because MTV and its cronies twisted the truth
and told all of their zombies that Kurt was down to earth, doesn't mean
that it was true.

AXL RULES: Actually, it was the United States Civil
war that happened almost 150 years ago. There have been many other Civil
Wars and there are Civil Wars going on in the world even now. I guess if
people are so narrow-minded that they don't know that, their appreciation
of something as simplistic as Nirvana can be excused. GN'R have some songs
that aren't great either, but still, Nirvana never wrote anything as intelligent
as Civil War.
Posted by
corporate_magazines_still_suck: that's sick but rather true, i love nirvana
but cobain's voice was no real prize for the most part (but it wasnt generic)
although i will say that he is far from an overrated writer. to be honest
with you there are two nirvana songs that mention rape, one of which characterizing
how awful of a thing it is (polly) and the other kind of laughing in its
face (rape me)...also the only serious song that cobain mentioned suicide
in at all was "milk it" and if you honestly count it "i hate myself and
want to die" which was a joke, so set your facts straight. by the way the
civil war happened 150 years ago and doesn't seem to be having a renaissance
any time soon. i still like gnr though
Posted by
AXL RULES: At least AXL has an original voice - in
addition to the ability to write creative thought provoking lyrics like
on Civil War and Coma - Kurt Cobain has a generic voice and most of his
songs - with very few exceptions - either make no sense, or are about suicide
or rape. Any gas station worker or Burger King fry guy could have been
Kurt Cobain. All he would have had to do was become a complaining snob,
get played on MTV, and then killed himself.

AXL = the GREATEST musician that EVER lived (and thank God still lives): I guess when you can't say anything meaningful
to prove your point, all you can do is blame it on corporate magazines!
Maybe you are right. Nirvana was good because they were politically correct
unlike the rest of big bad corporate America. Oh wait, nevermind. I forgot,
they did have a record company -the same one as Guns N' Roses too- and
you can go into a store and buy a Nirvana t-shirt. That's capitalism! Doh
... they were just hypocrites who were just as capitalistic as anyone else,
but were playing all nice just for marketing.

AXL ROSE in a RIP mag interview: RIP: What's 'One in a million' about?
/////// AXL "'One in a million' is about...... I went back and forth from
Indiana eight times my first year in Hollywood. I wrote it about being
dropped off at the bus station and everything that was going on. I'd never
been in a city this big and was fortunate enough to have this black dude
help me find my way. He guided me to the RTD station and showed me what
bus to take, because I couldn't get a straight answer out of anybody. He
wasn't after my money or anything. It was more like, "Here's a new kid
in town, and he looks like he might get into trouble down here. Lemme help
him get on his way." People kept coming up trying to sell me joints and
stuff. In downtown L.A the joints are usually bogus, or they'll sell you
drugs that can kill you. It's a really ugly scene. The song's not about
him, but you could kinda say he was one in a million. When I sat down after
walking in circles for three hours, the cops told me to get off the streets.
The cops down there have seen so much slime that they figure if you have
long hair, you're probably slime also. The black guys trying to sell you
jewelry and drugs is where the line 'Police and niggers, get out of my
way' comes from. I've seen these huge black dudes pull Bowie knives on
people for their boom boxes and sh*t. It's ugly." ///////////// IT SEEMS
LIKE YOU ARE THE ONE WHO IS 'SHALLOW' FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO UNDERSTAND
THE SITUATIONS THAT OTHERS HAVE TO DEAL WITH.

Sven: There is something to a certain kind of
raspy voice. It really depends on the kind of music. Macy Gray is meant
for the fresh faced, soulful kind of sh1t that R&B is. It's crap anyway,

rather good because he's the old, raspy, emotional guy. He kicks as5 but

say that Love's voice is worse than, say, I don't know, Macy Gray? Or...eh,
