Matt Bellamy from Muse and Thom Yorke from Radiohead.

Indeed.

and after all isnt that wat really matters?

Grady Avenell

well mine would have to be...

Dave Mustaine...... NOT


it is Peter Steele droolio

Big time toss up amongst Brian Fair, Jamey Jasta, David Gahan, and Jens Kidman.

randy blythe - lamb of god

Adam Duritz (counting crows)

i like JOACIM CANS( Hammerfall )actually i like the whole band they are so f***ing good

Daryl Palumbo, Max Cavalera, Maynard, Dryden Mitchell, Grady Avenell, Brandon Boyd, Zack De La Rocha, Chino Moreno...I have a few.

But going on pure band-asserting personality, it would probably be between Jello Biafra and Mikey Patton.

Your list looks awfully similar to mine, Sam

Maynard James Keenan, Zack de la Rocha, Brandon Boyd, Trent Reznor, Chino Moreno, Mike Patton, Daryl Palumbo.....and a few others who aren't coming to mind.

One of the people in my signature.

Burton C Bell, Jason Whalley (frenzal), Corey Taylor

Mine is dave grohl from the foo fighters

Daron most certainly does not sing better than Serj. They have very different vocal styles, but that doesn't make either less talented than the other.

Thats below the belt Samanda, i would give it up now before it gets messy.

Mike Patton, Chris Cornell, Chris Robinson are my top three right now...

umm davey havok

I thought you were asking for singer..not overly effeminate lead vox for a used-to-be- prominate punk band.

Chris Cornell
Andrew Wood
Bono

i like sully erna from godsmack

u gies figured out yet

Davey Havok
Bert Mckracken
Ville Valo
James Euringer

Hmm, i think its pretty obvious from the aura of stupidity you give off.

Zack de La Rocha

randy blythe - lamb of god
chad gray - mudvayne
cory tayer - slipknot
danny filth - cradle of filth
ozzy - black sabbath
jim morason - doors

My favorite is Tyson Ritter from The All American Rejects

Originally posted by Lana

Maynard James Keenan, Zack de la Rocha, Brandon Boyd, Trent Reznor, Chino Moreno, Mike Patton, Daryl Palumbo.....and a few others who aren't coming to mind. About the same

its depressing when a calculable percentage of a forum doesn't have an actual opinion on music, they just judge bands by sex appeal...


and what makes it worse is that most of the people they drool over aren't even that attractive..

for example:
Gerard Way - looks like a half dead crackwhore half the time and a shoddy transexual the other half.
Davey Havok - not only is he straightedge, but also looks remarkably like the makeup wearing bisexual he actually is... add grease to that and you've got a terrible concoction
Bert McCracken - i've said it before and i'll say it again... parents only name ugly kids Bert

Anal...hahaha...thats great.....right on.....anal....


Bob Dylan......

Thom Yorke from Radiohead, David Gray, Lou Reed from The Velvet Underground, Jim Morrison from The Doors, Brian Ferry from Roxy Music, or Bruce Springsteen.

Scott Weiland - Velvet Revolver/Stone Temple Pilots
Kurt Cobain - Nirvana
(the lead singer of the Who)
Bret Michaels - Poison
Paul McCartney & John Lennon - The Beatles
Jon BonJovi - Bon Jovi
Kelly Jones - Stereophonics

McCrea, Patton, Maynard, Albarn, Akerfeldt.

Maynard, Tom yorke, Trent, Chris Cornell, and Scott Weiland

Wow i have a lot like Ben Burnley from Breaking Benjamin i also love Ron Underwood from Opiate for the Masses and Joey Jordison from slipknot and Dani Filth from Cradle of Filth

Tyson Ritter - TAAR
Adam Lazzara - Taking Back Sunday
Pierre Bouvier - SP

Axl Rose back in the day
Robert Plant
Scott Wieland
Jon Bon Jovi

From a strictly singing standpoint, I'd have to go with either Chris Cornell, Maynard, or Mike Akerfeldt.

From an overall frontman standpoint, Mike owns everyone.

i would have to say:

Tom Delong - Blink 182 (because of his hilarious disregard for what is "socially acceptable"

Burt McKraken - The Used (he's just crazy)

M. Shadows - Avenged Sevenfold (he is just awesome)

Patrick Stump (Fall Out Boy)- His singing style is very unique/original
M. Shadows (Avenged Sevenfold)- His has a very dark/awesome voice that is just as good live.
Tom Delonge (blink 182)- Also a unique voice, even if it is somewhat screechy. He is also hilarious.
Kenny Vasoli (The Starting Line)- Basically I give him props for going all out when he sings live... Because he puts a lot of energy into it and he looks like he is about to explode...

Robert Plant, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain, and that guy from The Who, is it Keith Moon?

Oh, and Syd Barett.

My top three has to be 1. Chester Bennington 2. Kurt Cobain 3. the lead singer of pantera lol i dont know his name

Brian Molko from Placebo <3
Kurt Cobain from Nirvana <3
The guy from The Mars Volta (Omar I think) <3

I have to pick the popular choice:

Maynard James Keenan

from Tool and A Perfect Circle. Both bands also produce excellent music in which Maynard has a really big part (duh)

Matthew Bellamy from Muse
and
Thom Yorke from Radiohead

Is a chronic dislike of Reznor for releasing one mediocre album and being a remix whore really justified? I don't particularly appreciate all the "selling-out" either, but he has some damn good albums under his belt.

I can agree easy with any dislike of Trent Reznor. Seriously, that guy needs a good stabbing. He's put out some quality tunes, but that dude has issues (especially his love of remixing).

Fair enough, but what I'm really asking AC is, why can he all of a sudden not stand Trent Reznor... He's always been a remix whore.

Cobain - Nirvana
Ian Brown - Stone Roses
Morrison - Doors
Mercury - Queen
Jack White - White Stripes
Josh Homme - Queens Of The Stone Age
Ozzy Osbourne - Sabbath
Robert Plant - Zeppelin
Billie Joe Armstrong - Green Day

These are votes based off of talent and charisma, mostly. You could probably argue some unlisted singers and front-persons who have more talent, but they likely have all the charisma and intrigue of a wet cabbage. That's why I hold Billie Joe in such high regard. Not the best singer ever, but a superb frontman and live act.

One thing to note is that his music isn't nearly as good as it used to be. It's still good by all means, but it's degraded.

Besides that, some people don't mind remixing at first. Hell, I loved Amotion when it came out with all those cool remixed A Perfect Circle songs. But imagine if they kept doing that. It would get annoying really quick. This goes the same for Mr. Reznor. I actually liked some of his old remix stuff. Now it's really worn off on me.

Well... Obviously With Teeth isn't as good as stuff he's done in the past, but I don't think it sucks or anything.

Honestly, I just don't care for it that much. In reality, I'm not much of an NIN fan either.

When I want industrial stuff, I'll go with bands such as KMFDM, Rammstein, and Ministry.

Right... And I respect that, but my question was really for AC, who is/was/maybe still is a NIN fan.

Well when you pride yourself on building a fanbase who, for the most part, adhere to the stereotype of "outcast" (for better or worse), build a rep of being some pillar of integrity who hates network television and mediocrity, I expect you to stick to that.

So when you then turn around and say that your best album is a regret because it bombed financially, then after 6 years release an album of b-side quality for the purposes of accessibility whilst also performing on a UK pop-show (pop network TV) you're a sell out.

When you are spending time dissing Walmart for not having any moral consistency and then turning round and do the exact same thing, you're a hypocrite.

You wanna still respect the man who no longer respects those who respected him? Go for it.

-AC

Fair enough. Honestly, I don't pay a whole lot of attention to what he says/does outside the music, so I wouldn't know anyways.

If he's gonna be a hypocrite and prove that I can't take what he says honestly, how can I be sure anything he does from now on is honest?

That's the price he pays. Not sure he cares though. He's still got mountains of NINies who will never admit it or leave his side, plus many more from his overexposure.

With regards to music, I understand he was trying to get clean but when it takes you 6 years to produce an album, I do expect something a little better than With Teeth, considering the last thing he showed us was The Fragile. He probably could have if he didn't make it his aim to get money.

-AC

Jon Bon Jovi
Joey Tempest (Europe)

Danni Filth
