Worst Singers in Rock

Who??
I think
Axl Rose
Billy Corgan
Fred Durst
Jonathan Davis

Forums: The Bar,

I agree with most, though Johnathan Davis is getting better ;)

Definitely Fred Durst. I don't mind Billy Corgans voice, i think it suits the Smashing Pumpkins music though. You couldn't get a top class professional to sing the Pumpkins with as much expression and emotion as Billy. And same goes for Jon Davis but he is improving.

But that could be said for all of them. Even Fred Durst suits Limp Bizkits music, especially on 'Three dollar Bill Y'all$'

overall fred isint a good singer, neither john but it does suit the music. i cant really imagine anyone else filling their roles

shouldnt there be a forum for BEST rock singers?

yes your right lostprophet, Fred Dursts voice does suit LB and the music that goes with his voice sucks just as much as he does.

the fact that their voices suit the music tells you how bad they really must be...

//the fact that their voices suit the music tells you how bad they really must be...

So if they're voices didnt suit the music, then it would be better??
And isn't that just YOUR opinion???

//And isn't that just YOUR opinion???

and isn't everything you write or say your opinion?!

hmmm...good point...

Also: David Lee Roth, Sammy Hagar, Jon Bon Jovi, Singers from any hair metal band. The guy from Nickelback.

Oh god no, not Nickelback!
Talk about one hit wonders!

// Singers from any hair metal band

That's pretty stupid if you ask me. Bach was a great singer.

// Singers from any hair metal band
Unfair. There may have been some crap music around that time, but a some of the singers were actually pretty good.

//Oh god no, not Nickelback!

I changed the station every time their first single came on, and then realised that I'd never bothered listening to it to find out if it was actually any good. So I listened. My brain just about imploded. It's so shit that you can tell it's shit from the first 4 seconds.

Sebastian Bach - I was gonna mention him... but then you did.

Classically trained - wonderful voice.

18 and Life. :)

HA!HA!.........Nickelback.....so shit it hurts

yeah! ha ha ha

dont know any of their names except Chad Crogger (spelling) from nickelback, the dude from Creed, Life house, the calling... etc!

oh yeah does anyone agree that chad crogger looks like the paddle pop lion???

i agree with it all

You notice the paddle pop lion?

the guy from The Calling has girls' eyebrows!
ew. everyone says theyre nice but theyre far too 'done', not manly enough!

chad kroeger is the ugliest rock singer, too.

// chad kroeger is the ugliest rock singer, too.

that guy he sings the spiderman song with is way worse.

josey scott? nah! he has cool hair at least.

now lets not start with the calling arent they one hit wonders?
terrible terrible! the lead singer sounds like a scott stapp wannabe!
*shakes head*

//the guy from The Calling has girls' eyebrows!

Im not sure that he ACTUALLY has any eyebrows!!!
I think they're penciled on or whatever it is that girls use.

I disagree with Axl Rose, he's a superb singer. Live he does have his moments though. Listen to songs like Estranged and civil war, it sounds like there's three different singers. That voice that he used on appetite is a one of a kind, I doubt anyone will ever be able to recreate it. He's totally reinvented his voice now because of A) giving up smoking and alcohol B) To prolong his vocal chords and C) Because of the new songs. Honestly Tama, go download 'The Blues' and 'Madagascar' from rock in rio to hear the superb voice he has now.

I've seen the video, wasn't impressed, he voice wouldn't be so bad if he stopped running around.
I knew you would disagree since you idolizes them, its his voice which made me stop listening ro them

You've seen rock in rio? what did you think of the new songs?

most of it...... didn't think much of them

That's cool. Remember though that those songs are just fillers to keep fans happy.

Chad Croger
The calling vocalist
Life House vocalist
Creed vocalist
Puddle of Mudd vocalist

the puddle of mudd singer isnt that bad!

The singer from placebo with out a doubt.

i actually think that brian malco's voice often makes placebo's music. Could you imagine them without him? I think he *can* be slightly annoying on some tracks but on some he sounds fantastic.

its actually Brian MOLKO, PEACHES_HEAD but i actually agree with most of what ur saying. To tell you the truth on some tracks i think the backup music esepcially on their first album is on a completely different level to his voice but anyway I think hes a great singer. He's something outside the square, I respect him for going against the chavinistic nu-metal rap and awful quirkly power pop.

No way. I dont really like placebo's music. But i think he destory's it.
If i saw him in the street i would rippout his vocal chords so he never sung again.

sorry andrews not happy today

I'm not having a great day or week or month so far either. but anyway if you wanna rip out brian molkos vocals, then Sonic Youth deserved to get slayed too. They are one of his biggest influences so if they weren't around you wouldn't have Placebo but could you live without Sonic Youth?

i could live with out sonic youth no problem. Because there would still be lee's solo albums. I only really like lees songs and a few kim's songs. Thurstons songs mainly annoy me.

//I'm not having a great day or week or month so far either

tell me about it

I meant to write mOlko, achilles, it was a TYPO. So kill me, why don't you? And i never said that his voice suited the music, i just said i couldn't imagine Placebo without him. God I can't say anything. And by the way, sonic youth are fantastic too.

sorry, but i don't like his whingy voice either...
then again perry farrell is a wailer and i still like that stuff (three day's was the...)
i've been needing more politically inclined tunes nowadays, not special k. i'm skinny enough thank you.

//tell me about it

Well maybe its a real long story

PEACHES_HEAD Calm down, i was trying to attack you ok?

FRED DURST!!!

The Calling guy

...i'm at the library, have to get off the computer (10 mins per person) otherwise i'd have more!

James Reid.

nuff said.

Oh god, hes SO AWFUL live....especially on the song 'communicate'... Talk about out of tune...

i was listening to jimi hendrix yesterday, real loud, while i vacced.
i love jimi with an avengence, his music is right on, and i've been diggin' it since i can remember...
beautiful lyricist too...
but there is no doubt in my mind he wasn't really meant to sing.

but i wouldn't say he's one of the worst singers in rock...that's plain racist.

racist???

racist?! what... by those means you could call anyone racist?

well he's the only 'afro american' noted in here and he isn't that bad a singer - thus racism.
