Can ANYONE actually sing in metal anymore?

I am still in love with Kai Hansen.

You guys heard my singer on that 4 track tape recording, no protools, no digital BS..a fuggin' casette recording..right?

he was the reason why his old band was signed to Massacre records, and why Rippers's guitarist wants to do a project with him in the worst fuggin' way..he's also in a cover band and nails everything he covers to a T...from Coverdale, Dio, Staley, Cornell, Lemmy, Halford, Barlow to the Beatles..you name it, he does it..I could post the link.//This is my bro Ty Cook singing some top 40 shit.. http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm...ndid=106274985

and..If you ever told him he sounded anything like Ripper..you'd have a black eye..he's sensitive about that shit!

Tell you what, you want to hear GOOD metal vocals..go to page 7 in the MP3 section..Bills Z Bub's Bed Of Nails..check out the songs "FATHER FELON" and "SCAPEGOAT" but he could throw down death vox too on "High speed death Roll"..the guitar and drums were done live in my basement with cheap ass mics..he did the vocals in one day..I'll take my dude over anything mentioned on this thread, and give my left nut to keep it that way..and I love Dane and Khan!!!

Fuggit..I'll bring it..here it is..it tells you how and why this was recorded..Ty and Me.. http://www.jcfonline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=42804

I must have done something right because a established local band John, Ty and I know ripped off my riff to Father Felon..they didn't rip off Slayer, Outworld, or Symphony fuggin' X ..fuck noooo, nah, rip me the fuck off..that dumbfuck..those blogs are still on Myspace..fuggums!

BTW.. I hate that dude from KWE..Foooooo Solice...Foooo Comfort"...Oh my hell.

personally, I wouldn't even consider playing with that dude..fuck no!

The singer I had 10 years ago wasn't too shabby either..

Vocals are 50% of your music..even if your band is 100% (A+)..but your singer totaly blows ass at 49% (F-)..that lowers your score to 50% at the most..which is a (F+)

Cemetary Gates, This Love and Hollow...still send shivers up my spine when he belts it out on those tunes. It did kinda seem like as the years went by the more tattoos he got and the "harder" he became he started to yelp and growl more than sing,but he's really got a voice on him, that's for sure.

The dude from Killswitch Engage can belt it out too.

So can the drummer from Atreyu, they should just have him sing IMO.

I think Phil blew his voice out around the mid 90s. I saw a few concerts around the FBD and TGSTK era. He pretty much screamed the whole time...when he did sing I think it was pretty horrible. I have a bootleg video where they do Planet Caravan....it was embarassingly horrible. But he was pretty amazing in the early 90s.

warrel dane from nevermore is an amazing singer...
i would agree: howard jones from killswitch...
when he actually is singing, phil labonte from all that remains can hit some high notes quite gracefully...but then again he also does the cookie monster on occasion...
+1 on kamelot singer

[neilli]

Corey Taylor (Slipknot / Stone Sour) has a great voice - yeah, Slipknot doesn't give him much chance to show it, but check out some of Stone Sour's music, even the cover of 'Wicked Game'....

Firewind

something like that........

Have you not listened to a lot of Pantera? Phil has a great voice and can sing melodically when he wants to.

Cemetary Gates comes to mind.

Loved Pantera's playing, couldn't get past the singing.

Stu from Into Eternity has an excellent voice also.

my singer never dresses like that skank courtney love....but lita ford?!?!?! i know what you mean, but yikes....here's a picture of her....and pretty much what she wears. not metal, for sure, but not goth either....

Gee, thanks for that (wank, wank)...that hair would do well with an 80's frizz job... and a very small leather top? Yup...you're in business!

Just kidding!

She's got enough leather around her wiast!

So who is this?

[CharvelRocker]

I should also add the dude who sings for Rammstein has an AWESOME metal voice. that and the German probably helps

[RobRR]

I agree Zeeg, but he doesent use it very much.

I was more leaning towards new bands... Ive been trying to put together a band for YEARS... I dunno, maybe I dont try hard enough, but I cant for the life of me, find anyone around here that wants to play GOOD metal, not cookie monster shit. Thats all it is around here, cookie monster or emo... and Im starting to dislike cookie monster almost just as much as emo. Every tough guy around here with a shaved head and a bunch of tats (no offense to you bald tattooed guys ) thinks hes a death metal singer... Ive got news for these guys... its NOT HARD TO DO. Youre NOT special. Stop calling yourself singers.
