JohnnyBlaze Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Great band, weak vocalist? The answer is a resounding MEGADETH. Mods, you can close this thread now. Jeez yeah. Forgot all about Dave’s vocals. I can thank my subconscious for suppressing them. Instrumentally, top notch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Love Megadave's vocals. To my ears, much more creative and affecting than Hetfeild, and much more musical than Arya. Only Belladonna passes him up in my book. But obviously not for everyone, I don't begrudge anyone for hating it, lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no other vocal style that could have made Megadeth work as well as they did. Mustaine is far from a good singer but has a unique one of a kind voice that helped to differentiate the band from everyone else. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSHHEAD666 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 U2 also comes to mind. As I recall, when Bono first joined the band, according to The Edge, he couldn't hardly carry a tune. He got better of course and by the late 80s early 90s was actually a very effective and affecting singer...but then he started smoking and now his voice is shot and average again. Dumb decision. Kid! I love your music mind!!!! Bono was great on everything to "The Joshua Tree." He SUCKS NOW! Beyond WEAK. Larry Mullen Jr was a great drummer. Now he looks like a bored Irish drummer waiting for his next dose of sleeping pills. So sad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave wrote most of "Kill Em All!" My favorite album is "Countdown To Extinction!" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd argue he put in good stuff on Achtung Baby as well, and that it didn't really show how bad he'd gotten till the early 2000s, but he never topped that period from 87 to 90.

Name me someone else who could've made the same two or three vocal melodies in Holy Wars work so well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Countdown but I think the album loses a little momentum during the second half. Can't say that about Rust. Countdown does finish well with the excellent Ashes In Your Mouth.

In regards to “no other vocal style”, that’s impossible to know since we’re so used to Dave on vocals. Liking Dave on vocals or not is a different matter and simply a matter of preference.

Yeah, Psychotron and High Speed Dirt aren't the most incredible songs on there, but they work well enough for me, and Captive Honor is a treat to listen to.

Union 5-3992 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 There are plenty of bands I like that have "bad" singers, but I still like those singers. For me, the signers ruin these otherwise good bands. Bruce SpringsteenCoheed & CambriaPeripheryDream TheaterRed Hot Chili PeppersOverkill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
librarian Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Motley Crue Vince Neil - never liked his voice But you otherwise think they’re great? I don't think they're great. They were the first band that popped into my head. I'm sure they are great to some people, somewhere... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were the first band that popped into my head. I'm sure they are great to some people, somewhere... Even Nikki Sixx said in an interview decades ago.. "Vince isn't the best vocalist in the world be he sure gets us a lot of pussy!" I think Vince "had" a great voice. It's shot. Like Don Dokken. Sucks. I met Vince In Vegas with the EX at The Wynn. 2006 We talked for about 5 minutes. I told Vince right to his face.... "I don't care what anyone thinks Vince! I still think your vocals kick ass!" Vince looked at me with instant sadness and looked down at the floor. It's like I crushed his soul. I felt so bad. I gave Vince a hug and I apologized and he was cool and smiled. I felt horrible.

thirteen Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Although my vote goes to Megadeth, I think that they are a great band and rate Rust in Peace 10/10, being perhaps (IMO) the best heavy metal album. Ever. Somehow, Mustaine's angst 'sneer' just seems to work with the music. I do however still consider him a weak vocalist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand this post. Are you taking about the band Rush? Rush is better? "Countdown" is on "Signals." Does not compute.
