Worst singer of all-time?

Who do you think is the worst singer in a (decent and popular) metal band? I definately vote for the singer in Skylark. The music is really great speedy powermetal, but the singer is WAY out of tune alltime! This band could be really great if they would just find a decent singer...

The worst singer of all time must however be "Man's Evil" singer (check out crap of the month here at metalreviews to find some clips). I was totally stunned that it is possible to sound that terrible. Some guy that try to sing death metal in high pitch? uhmm... Wow

James Hetfield

He was digestible until he started to "sing" in a way he did on the Black Album. But generaly he's the kind of singer that doesn't represent much. There are dozens of better vocalists...

Don't be retarded.

And yeah, that dude from Man's Evil is horrible! Hahaha. Thanks for bringing up bad memories!

Some of the worst of all time?

- Brian Johnson
- Joe Cocker
- Bon Scott
- Chris Barnes
- Dave Mustaine

I could name more. Now this isn't to say I dislike all the bands these guys sing for, I do not, but they definitely can't sing. :lol:

Ken WTF@ Brian Johnson, Bon Scott and Dave Mustaine.

I wouldn't like to choose the worst of all time but some metal singers I don't like include Alexi Laiho, guy from Pentagram (forget the name, just brought it up because we were talking about it in another thread), Andrea Ferro, and various people to have recorded with Mayhem.

Bruce Dickinson, every time he opens his mouth I feel like he's about to shove a cock into it. I would be hard pressed to find a singer who actually sounds gayer.

Are you going to say they're good singers? Sure, they fit the music well, but they're hardly good singers.

Yes way. They make/made their bands sound awesome, therefore they did a good job of singing for them, therefore they must be good singers.

How long could you listen to them acapella? :wink:

rio · **Posted:** Wed Aug 30, 2006 1:15 am

Not long, BUT there are plenty of people that would be worse to listen to a capella. Certainly the guys I mentioned above.

Anyhoo, all three are very good at what they are specifically required to do- which is a type of singing- even if they are not technically of a high standard.

Right, they fit well, but then they're just a part of something that essentially carries them. But seriously, let's not get philosophical over this, eh? Haha.

Agree with Ken, none of those guy can sing for shit, but they just fit the music and "get" what they are doing.

Udo from Accept is the same fucking way.
