JeremiahBullfrog: Vocalist Upgrades

JeremiahBullfrog 01.17.22	Any other obvious examples?
JohnnyoftheWell 01.17.22	my brother told me that black country new road's og frontman stayed in his flat the other night and that he didn't know who the band were but found out later that he was kicked out for sexual assault shit so, uh, ig current wankerboi is an upgrade!
CottonSalad 01.17.22	Dark Tranquillity and In Flames - defining moves for both. I would also say Atilla Csihar and Mayhem...but that's more debatable for some
garas 01.17.22	Hat was very good as well in Gorgoroth. I'd add Spellgoth for Horna, and even though many would hate me for saying that, but: Dio for Black Sabbath. Ozzy wasn't constantly that good.
JohnnyoftheWell 01.17.22	Oh also THE GATHERING oh my days, imagine being in that band and having Anneke van Giersbergen drop in to replace whoever the fuck was in for their godawful second album
manosg 01.17.22	Anneke on The Gathering.
JeremiahBullfrog 01.17.22	some good examples here folks yeah Johnny - big yikes Cotton - i must wholeheartedly disagree! Maniac and Dead are a solid >>> Attila for me personally
CottonSalad 01.17.22	putting your whole heart in is all one can strive for!
Pikazilla 01.17.22	There's always that one cunt who prefers the OG Cannibal Corpse vocalist
JeremiahBullfrog 01.17.22	Can't imagine a world in which i'd choose Chris over Corpsegrinder, hail the mighty necc
SAPoodle 01.17.22	Opeth Mikael Åkerfeldt was originally the bassist, crazy to think that now
JeremiahBullfrog 01.17.22	Hard to think of Mikael as anything but the heart and soul of Opeth in every way tbh
lowkeykindofaunit 01.17.22	Omg when I read the list name one of the first things I thought about was 5 so I’m glad you included it. I just went down a rabbit hole the other night of seeing what Denis has been up and good god… that man needs therapy.
JeremiahBullfrog 01.17.22	Honestly seems like such a shit dude, I mean I obviously don't know the guy, but I'd rather work with the taliban than Denis Stoff
manosg 01.17.22	Another easy one is Ian Gillan over Rod Evans in Deep Purple.
onionbubs 01.17.22	spencer chamberlain replacing dallas taylor is prob the biggest example i can think of
MrSirLordGentleman 01.17.22	good to emphasize that Paul rules as well on 3
Egarran 01.17.22	>The Gathering Still my only 1 rating, I just can't stand him
JKing92 01.17.22	Interesting list. I'd personally include Pink Floyd here -- I don't hate Syd Barrett (in fact, I think Piper at the Gates of Dawn is a very good album, though I don't think it is as fantastic as the vast majority of their work from the '70s), but Waters and Gilmour are on a whole other level, and elevated Floyd to something more (in fact, unpopular opinion: A Saucerful of Secrets > Piper).
combustion07 01.17.22	I'm in the minority that actually prefers Paul on vocals with Maiden. His vocal approach fit those first two albums so damn well imo. Although I'm not sure if he would have fit so well on some of the later material. I just really dig the vibe that he contributed to the albums that he was on. I love Barnes material with Cannibal Corpse but I'm so glad they parted ways with him before his vocals became the fried mess that they became shortly after he left the band.
Koris 01.17.22	Symphony X - Russell Allen replacing Rod Tyler. Rod wasn't bad or anything, but Russell is in a completely different league
warlordfun 01.18.22	Michael Kiske over Kai Hansen in Helloween Kai Hansen over Ralf Scheepers in Gamma Ray Timo Kotipelto over Timo Tolkki in Stratovarius James Labrie over Charlie Dominici in Dream Theater D.C. Cooper over Henrik Brockmann in Royal Hunt Joey Belladona on Anthrax Ray Alder over John Arch in Fates Warning and the list goes on
Madbutcher3 01.18.22	Messiah Marcolin in Candlemass Peter Tagtgren in Bloodbath (depending on who you ask i suppose) Chuck Billy replacing Zetro in Testament
JeremiahBullfrog 01.18.22	Hot Bloodbath Take Butcher
Madbutcher3 01.18.22	i think he's a somewhat better dm vocalist than akerfeldt with more range and a similarly distinctive voice
peartnoy 12.15.22	Super late to this list but Dream Theater. I dare someone to disagree with me. Especially in the I&W and Awake era. Young James Labrie was special.
