I'm with you on this. Well not Bono but perhaps Gordon Downie (the tragically hip) for his interesting vocal tics.

Oh god damn that's a good pick. Downie always sounds like he's just barely in control of himself.

Not gonna lie, I really like the voice of the guy from Radiohead. "No Surprises" is stunningly beautiful any way you look at it.

NotAFanOfFenders · « **Reply #102 on:** 23 Oct 2008, 11:35 »

Mikael Åkerfeldt, probably.

Or Thom Yorke.

Meat Loaf! He has an amazing voice

And it's freak the living shit out of anyone who hears me sing. Here's this scrawny Sven-lookin fella, and OMG he's singing like a fat guy.
Man I'd love to sing like Meat Loaf

and "for no reason" is pretty harsh on the "War Pigs" cover - to me, that's the definitive version! i listen to it way more than the original! there's also the added bonus that if you do "War Pigs" at karaoke and sing it like Patton does, people who haven't heard the FNM version think you're putting your own spin on it, and buy you drinks afterwards!

Agreed! Speaking of better-than-original Sabbath covers, have you heard the Dio version of "Black Sabbath," the one from Live Evil? Dio is a man who knows how to bring out all of the evil in a song. My list:

Chris Cornell
Robert Plant
Mikael Akerfeldt
Bruce Dickinson

The Lead Singer of Jane's Addiction is my top pick. Chris Chornell(SP) is a close second, with Kurt Cobain and Rivers Cuomo tied for third.

De_El · « **Reply #111 on:** 26 Oct 2008, 23:12 »

Really, Ramona Cordova? It's pretty, but I think my ideal voice is more something weird and unusual than that sort of thing. *shrug*

It's too bad that Meatloaf has somewhat unfairly become a joke. He has an immensely powerful and oftentimes very emotional voice. I've heard his music described as "Wagnerian rock," and I think that's accurate.

Patrick · « **Reply #115 on:** 28 Oct 2008, 01:57 »

It's that horribly oversaturated vibrato that kills it for me.

Wait, duh: Russell Allen from Symphony X. But only if I can emote like him on stage and somehow come to the conclusion that moving to Jersey from LA is the same as moving to NYC.

like the singer from amon amarth or nile (johan hegg and Dallas toler Wade, respectively) because i would love to be able to do that sort of standard, powerful death growl, no pig squeels or gutturals for me thanks.
hell if i could to that with any respectable volume i would use it to order food and stuff!

Not true, Gaz, he sang in their cover of "Kick Out The Jams".

God I hate that cover

Thunda · « **Reply #124 on:** 06 Nov 2008, 07:17 »

More of the voice of him then to sing like him. Kick out the jams was alright, but i cant stand Renegades of Funk.

Thrillho · « **Reply #125 on:** 06 Nov 2008, 07:44 »

I can't stand that cover, because it's just begging for Morello to just do a NORMAL solo for once, some blistering blues solo or something, but he does one of his weird ones, when the rest of the cover is just a note-perfect rehash of the original. It's annoying.

Patrick · « **Reply #126 on:** 06 Nov 2008, 07:48 »

And we all know Tom Morello can do a normal solo. See: "Like A Stone" - Audioslave. That's one of my favourite solos ever. And you have to love his whammy pedal w/ reverb and delay.

Thunda · « **Reply #127 on:** 06 Nov 2008, 08:15 »

Fuck Audioslave. Rage is fine, Soundgarden is fine. Chris Cornell trying to sing for Rage is annoying. I know the genre's are completely different but it annoys me that i know its the members from rage and its not as powerful. And Tom Morello's solos are what set him apart from other guitarists. What other guitarists have you seen that can solo like him?

Dimmukane · « **Reply #128 on:** 06 Nov 2008, 08:23 »

Satch has that one wicked whammy solo...

I won't argue this. I'm just saying, the guitar solo is bitchin'. Still smacks of Morello despite being entirely new territory (and that's all it is, it's new, it doesn't make it inferior). Chris Cornell has fuck-all to do with Tom Morello's guitar playing.

Yes. I know. And I love his solos. But on that song, it was horribly out of place.

Thunda · « **Reply #131 on:** 06 Nov 2008, 09:27 »

His solos definitely changed when he went to audioslave. Thats all im saying.

diablo_man · « **Reply #132 on:** 06 Nov 2008, 11:58 »

yurp, not every song needs a weird solo though. that one would have been much better with a normal, good solo in it.

which satch song are you referring too? he certainly has enough unique guitar sounds and trick to put him on a level with morello for weird solos. although satriani seems much better at making his solos match the song.

Dimmukane · « **Reply #133 on:** 06 Nov 2008, 12:44 »

I think it's called Waiting or something...it was 10 minutes long, and I'm fairly certain it was on Strange Beautiful Music.

spoon_of_grimbo · « **Reply #134 on:** 06 Nov 2008, 17:38 »

i'd actually quite like to able to sing in a raspy but tuneful way like a lot of gruffer pop-punk bands. for example Ryan from Off with Their Heads sounds like a particularly melodious tractor engine, which is awesome.

http://www.myspace.com/offwiththeirheads see "i am you" on here for an example. or anything on the myspace tbqh.

Dude, I booked a show with Clues and Elfin Saddle for the other night. There was a third opener who dropped out b/c one of the members was sick. So Brendan Reed from Clues was like, we're friends with this guy who lives really nearby named Ramon Alarcon and he performs as Ramona Cordova, would you want him to open? And I was like, well I've never heard of the guy but sure, sounds cool. Anyway he came out and played a set by himself on acoustic guitar and was pretty frickin brilliant not to mention a really nice guy. He has an awesome voice to be sure. I didn't know he was well known but it's cool that he is.

Same gender: Neko Case, Jem, Poe, whichever member of The Breeders is the one with the sort of throaty voice (the one that does lead on "Drivin' On 9"), Carol van Dyk, Storm Large, Kathleen Hanna.

Not the same gender: someone said Zach Condon and Jeff Buckley and I agree. Also Britt Daniel, A.A. Bondy, Neil Hannon, and Hawksley Workman. And Guy Garvey.

St.Germain · « **Reply #147 on:** 14 Dec 2008, 06:23 »

Well, I started trying to pull off the whole Amy Lee (Evanescence) thing, but I could never quite pull off the high notes, and who says girls have to sing high anyway.

So now I'm leaning in the opposite direction towards Ben Burnley (Breaking Benjamin) and David Draiman (Disturbed). Now I just need the same control in the lows that I have in the mid-range, and I'll be awesome, and people will be confused.
