Im surprised only a couple of people have said Matt from Avenged Sevenfold, His voice is amazing on City Of Evil, The range he has on that album is incredible, I also love Jesse from Op Ivy and Common Rider, I prefer his vocals on the Common Rider stuff but Op Iv stuff is still unique and great. Lars Frederiksen from Rancid and The Bastards, He has such a cool voice aswell, I love it.
I love Arty Shepherd from Instruction. He's got an amazing vocal range (very melodic, and he can hit most any note I've ever seen), and Taproot's Stephen Richards has been one of my favorites for a while now, too.
What range? The vocals on City of Evil are mediocre at best. [/b][/quote] Listen to tracks like The Wicked End and tell me he doesnt have an amazing voice, Maybe i just love his voice and im blind to the fact that it isnt that great. But i disagree.
What range? The vocals on City of Evil are mediocre at best. [/b][/quote] Amen. He just sounds like a cross between Bruse Dickinson and Axl Rose. He's no longer unique IMO like he was on Waking the fallem.
I'm surprised there aren't more Axl Rose nominees here, sure hes a fucking egotistical bastard but hes one of the most talented vocalists ever.
Serj Tankian is my favorite by far. He can sing beautifully (for example Aerials/Spiders), scream menicangly and do all these weird funny stuff (for example Suggestions). His backing vocals in Lost in Hollywood were amazing. My favorite song with his vocals is Question! Somehow I think his vocals are deep and round, is it weird to think someones vocals are a shape? No order: Axl Rose - GNR, Steve Tyler - Aerosmith, Freddy Mercury - Queen, Bono - U2, the singer of Adema, Jonathan Davis - KoRn, extremly artistic, Chino Moreno - Deftones. Edit: Chris Cornell is an amazing vocalist.
Most talented vocalists (in no particular order...) Trent Reznor- NIN Maynard James Keenan- Tool/APC Howard Jones- Killswitch Engage Jesse Leech- Ex Killswitch Engage Amy Lee- Evanesence Matt Heafy- Trivium Aaron Lewis- Staind ... ... ... ... and I guess Chester as well...
