Members thebazaar Posted June 23, 2006 Members Share Posted June 23, 2006 Jimmy Gneco is great. love his song with Brian may, someone to die for. Matt is a freak as well. contrary to popular opinion, the "breathing" you can clearly hear adds to the music. i love it. throw in Chris Cornell, Gilmour (yes Gilmour), Freddie Mercury, Maynard, Thom Yorke, the guy from Gomez and Augie March...names escape me right now and jeff never fails to get me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hempathy Posted June 23, 2006 Members Share Posted June 23, 2006 He may be an asshole but my favourite vocalist is still Maynard Keenan of Tool + A perfect Circle. A close second is Beth Gibbons of Portishead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ArrMatey Posted June 23, 2006 Members Share Posted June 23, 2006 Ian Gillan is an amazing vocalist. Every time he sings Speed King and does that vocal crescendo/falseto, it gives me goose bumps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mumford Posted June 23, 2006 Members Share Posted June 23, 2006 Originally posted by mst3k Doug Pinnick from King's X is so underated Doug Pinnick is my favorite vocalist and biggest vocal influence. Chris Cornell is a close second, too bad I haven't liked anything he's done since he left soundgarden. Jeff Buckley was a genius. He did amazing things with his voice, I'm always shocked by how many people can't stand him. I like Thom Yorke's sense of melody, and he's often really good. Sometimes he sings with such arrogance, though, I don't care for him. Matt Bellamy on the Absolution album (the only one I have) does an amazing half Jeff Buckley-half Thom Yorke thing. Very impressive. I like him a lot. I loved Sting with the Police. I prefer singers who have non-traditional voices. I took a lot of voice going through school and eventually taught it as well, and there's nothing more boring to me than someone with a "good voice" in the traditional sense. Give me someone with a lot of emotion and a distinctive sound over someone bland and perfect anyday. I love a lot of people that folks bitch about being terrible singers. No one sings Neil Young songs as well as he does. Same with John Prine. Hendrix was a great singer that way, very emotional and interesting. Although tuning is just as important in anything-- it's the main reason I never got into At The Drive In-- the vocals are way out of tune, I can't fathom why they would keep those tracks. I suppose everything I've said could apply to guitar players, too. I don't care about slop unless it's distracting, but {censored} like vai or dream theather just bores me to death with its perfection. It has no life.

Mind the pun, but he was godlike on that stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members hempathy Posted June 23, 2006 Members Share Posted June 23, 2006 I always thought Chris Cornells vocals were the worst part of soundgarden. Same with the Kyuss vocalist. I just dont dig that semi cock rock vocal sound. "woah yeah eah yeah" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
