Bands that singers ruin...

[wabbit]

Tragically Hip (constant vibrato from hell)
Oasis (whine whine whine)

I can't get to the volume knob quick enough when I hear either of these bands come on the radio.

Can't stand Anthony Kiedis in the Chili peppers.

Can't stand Anthony Kiedis in the Chili peppers.

Yeah. He needs to realize that he does NOT have a melodic voice. It seems like ever since they released "Under The Bridge", that they are trying to use it as a template. Flea is their only bright spot.

I think Chad Smith is an excellent drummer though. HE is what makes the band for me. Flea, meh, whatever.

 

[Red_Merkin]

For me, definitely Rage Against The Machine. To my ears, Audioslave was the solution for 100% of what I didn't like about Rage, and left everything I did like.

I know many will disagree.

I do. To me Chris Cornell was the worst of the early 90's Eddie Vedder clones, and he is my entry to this annoying singer thread.

Dude just ruined Soundgarden for me, and turned the band that was Rage into boring, generic radio rock.

 

[SBsoundguy]

Chad has been subdued since One Hot Minute.

 

[Rock-Bassman]

I'm surprised about all the Eddie Vedder bashing! The dudes got a killer range and is one of the best live singers I've ever heard. IMO he's a big reason why pearl jam is as good as it is

 

[Floyd Eye]

Eddie Vedder is a tool.

 

[Peepaleep]

Rush.

and Rush.

^ This, and this.

For me, Geddy Lee's voice makes Rush's instrumentals their only listenable songs.

 

[Rock-Bassman]

Eddie Vedder is a tool.

Straight up class right here fellas

Yeah, fortunately for me, your opinion means absolutely nothing to me.

Yeah happy holidays pal merry christmas

I don't understand why you got all butt hurt homeboy. Eddie may be your personal idol, I don't know, but what the hell do you care what I think of him? I think he is a whiny no talent hack and a publicity whore. I am not alone. I hear that he is in the douchebag hall of fame. Cobain couldn't stand the guy either, so maybe you ought to fire off a letter to the Cobain estate telling them what a classless jerk Kurt was?

Lighten up. I can't stand the guy, but you are still free to buy his crappy CDs.

FWIW, I think Mike and the rest of the band are great.

Now there's a song title if ever I heard one.

 

[jmattbassplaya]

I think Chad Smith is an excellent drummer though. HE is what makes the band for me.

Agreed. His kick placement is what makes Flea's lines so groovy.

 

[P. Aaron]

That singer from Soundgarden. Sounded fine with them but crowds out other musicians on his other projects.
RE: RHCP. They've been making the same record for years now.

 

[Floyd Eye]

FWIW, a short list of other douchebags.

Axhole Rose
Billy Corrigan
Chad Kroeger
Anthony Kiedis
Bruce Springsteen
Roger Waters
Zakk Wylde
Everyone in the band .38 Special
Lars and James
Mick Jagger
Vanilla Ice
Kid Rock
Vince Neil
Billy Joe Armstrong
Rod Stewart
Blah, blah, blah.


Fire at will.

I applaud you sir (or madam), as that was just extraordinarily hilarious.

 

[wabbit]

I thought this was a thread about singers that ruin the band. Not about people's level of douchebaggery. Focus people, focus.

Well, many of them are the same, no?
