Killerhit: Awesome Vocalists (Part 2)

Killerhit 03.13.16	Yee
theBoneyKing 03.13.16	Adam Levine's voice makes me want to shoot myself, yeah their early stuff wasn't awful but the voice was grating even then.
LotusFlower 03.13.16	I loved Adam's vocals on their early stuff (and karas flowers especially), but lately theyve been pretty grating.
wtferrothorn 03.13.16	Janelle Monae Nina Simone Bjork Jeff Buckley Marill Garbus Conor Mason
Trebor. 03.13.16	The maroon 5 guy sings through his nose which is the biggest sin in vocals
MrSirLordGentleman 03.13.16	Rainbow had 4 vocalist though (5 if you count the new line up) and both of those vocalist, Doogie White and Ronnie Romero are better than JLT Still I agree, Blackmore has an excellent taste for vocalists
Jasdevi087 03.13.16	I wouldn't call Bowie a baritenor tbh
adr 03.13.16	Ash Ketchum is my favourite vocalist of all times
hesperus 03.13.16	Adam Levine has always sounded like a goose choking on a clarinet.
Asdfp277 03.13.16	no women, bummer
Jasdevi087 03.13.16	yeah come on dude, so many amazing chicks you're not repping with these lists
Asdfp277 03.13.16	Simone Simmons Anneke Van Giersbergen
Jasdevi087 03.13.16	list honestly not that great/10
Asdfp277 03.13.16	meh/10
MrSirLordGentleman 03.13.16	List has Dio on it, so I don't need anything else
Asdfp277 03.13.16	yea was about to say that, but still
MrSirLordGentleman 03.13.16	as for female vocalists Annie Haslam p/
torts 03.13.16	list sucks
MrSirLordGentleman 03.13.16	torts-
Jasdevi087 03.13.16	honestly curious as to who torts things is a good vocalist
Asdfp277 03.13.16	death grips
Jasdevi087 03.13.16	Defgrips
torts 03.13.16	bjork fka twigs Nicole dollanganger ben gibbard idk I don't listen to a lot of really "good vocalists" so
Jasdevi087 03.13.16	ok you can pass i guess
Killerhit 03.13.16	I plan on doing a women list anyway
Jasdevi087 03.13.16	while you're here, what makes you say baritenor for Bowie?
Killerhit 03.13.16	He's a high bari which is pretty interchangeable with baritenor
Jasdevi087 03.13.16	maybe in the early-mid 70's yeah, idk his high notes don't really sound tenorish to me
Killerhit 03.13.16	Hence the baritone aspect of his voice
Jasdevi087 03.13.16	no but doesn't saying baritenor imply that he has qualities of both? he just sounds like a baritone with a big range (at one point it was big anyway)
Killerhit 03.13.16	Except he does have qualities of both - you don't have to sound super light and lyrical to sound like a tenor
Jasdevi087 03.13.16	I just don't think he has enough weight in his upper range to sound tenorish, I mean you can keep it if you want I just disagree that his voice sounds tenorish, like nearly all his notes over G#4 (post Diamond Dogsish era) are either light falsettos or raspy af
Killerhit 03.13.16	There came a point when his voice became limited due to smoking
furyroad97 03.14.16	I said stuff about this guy on some other list, but Hansi from Blind Guardian. Holy crap, one of the best singers in power metal for me, easy.
Killerhit 03.14.16	Haven't really listened to any blind guardian but i'll take ur word for it
SitarHero 03.14.16	It's kind of criminal to have Levine over some of the other people on that list. Also, I doubt that Daltrey is a baritone. He's definitely less of a baritone than Bowie.
Killerhit 03.14.16	"over" None of these are in order, and Daltrey's a baritone; check out his list on The Range Place and the youtube video "Vocal Range of Roger Daltrey"
MrSirLordGentleman 03.14.16	I love Daltrey's studio voice, but live... I think he's pretty average there
SitarHero 03.14.16	Hmmm, interesting.
Killerhit 03.14.16	live performances are tough to judge because there's a lot of factors to take in (exhaustion, weather, overexertion, stamina, hydration)
MrSirLordGentleman 03.14.16	Dio, Bonnet, Mercury and Perry always ruled live tho :v
Killerhit 03.14.16	They probably knew how to pace themselves - not everyone knows that. Ken Tamplin has some fantastic tips on voice and how to control it
SitarHero 03.14.16	I just checked your other list too and I'm glad you have Jay Kay, Delp and Tate on there. Since you like the insanely high note-hitting, definitely check out Hansi Kürsch as furyroad suggested, but for my money there ain't no one like Steelheart's Michael Matijevic.
Killerhit 03.14.16	Actually I dig me some low notes but since there aren't many out there (save for a few obvious ones, like jay gordon, peter steele) it's tough to judge what's legit and what's not
Jasdevi087 03.14.16	if you dig insanely high note-hitting vocalists you need to get on Kyo then
SitarHero 03.14.16	Then you have guys like Mike Patton who can do both and everything inbetween.
Killerhit 03.14.16	Kyo has a fucking ridiculous voice
Jasdevi087 03.14.16	@SitarHero Kyo is basically Mike Patton just with way less technique
Killerhit 03.14.16	Both of their lows are really good
Jasdevi087 03.14.16	Mike Patton's lows are terrifying and Kyo's should not be coming out a human that size
SitarHero 03.14.16	I gotta check it out then.
Jasdevi087 03.14.16	dude's fucking nuts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9feWdBhsbUA
Killerhit 03.14.16	his screams what the fuck
Jasdevi087 03.14.16	the one at 11:41 is immense af
SitarHero 03.14.16	I've been meaning to give Dir en grey some play but have never gotten around to it. I guess today is the day. Any albums in particular you guys would recommend?
Jasdevi087 03.14.16	Uroboros for the heavy stuff, Gauze if you're more into that glammy j-rock/pop sort of thing
Killerhit 03.14.16	One I like http://www.sputnikmusic.com/soundoff.php?albumid=82385
SitarHero 03.14.16	Lol, ok uroboros it is.
