I know many will disagree. | I totally understand, though I'm of the inverse opinion- love Rage, can't stand Audioslave. Also- Rush.

Didn't know Zakk was a singer though.

Ah, yeah, about that. Lars isn't either, as well as several of the guys from .38 Special. Alas, they don't ALL crossover.

I saw them on SNL just a year or two ago and he was so amazingly bad and embarrassing my wife and I had to switch the channel. Worse than anyone I've heard totally flailing on my local scene in years. Completely out of tune, out of time, and croaking more than vocalizing. It was pathetic. He made some decent records a few decades ago, but talk about resting on you laurels.
I'm surprised about the Chris Cornell comments. I could see not liking his style, maybe, but he's a technically gifted vocalist, everything Vetter is not, except perhaps a crazy egotist. I think they both suffer from massive untreatable cases of LSD. Anthony Keidis: yeah, B+ for effort, but he needs a new rhythmic pattern for his tuneless chanting. Too bad because his vocal quality and energy are a good match for the Peppers, I just don't think he was able to make the transition to their new style as well as the other members of the band. Axl Rose: so annoying! And so much like a wanker version of Ethel Merman. Really have always felt he ruined GNR for me.
Ok, enough bashing. Singing for a rock band is hard to do, very hard to do well, and frankly, it does take a big ego. No one wants to see Mr. Bashful fronting a kick-ass band. Very little pitch reference, and precious few solid cues, singing for a rock band is hard.

He has trouble hitting the high notes live, but it usually turns out okay.
Saw Vedder doing the thing with Roger Waters on the hurricane benefit thing. Absolute crap. I imagined David Gilmour crying when he saw it.

One singer I can't seem to tolerate is the guy Steve Harris has on his British Lion cd. I keep trying to listen to the cd and like it but I can't get past the singing on there.

I dont know who the dude is, but you'd think a major powerhouse guy like Harris could've gotten somebody MUCH MUCH better.
It would've been better if he brought Di'Anno back!!!
I heard one cut from that recording and now I'm not gonna buy it. Just because of the bad vocals.
And its funny about the split on Geddy Lee. I think most of us would agree that as a bassist, he's among the cream of the cream but as a vocalist...well, maybe not so much.
