Bands you would love if they had a different vocal style/vocalist (lead singer, metal)

Tommypetrucci · 03-12-2008, 04:31 PM

Time and time again I tell people my favourite band is Dream Theater and time and time again I have to defend James La Brie (who I love).

I was just wondering if there are other bands that people enjoy listening to but wince whenever the singing begins. For me it would have to be Opeth as I love their music but hate the death metal vocals

any of the growling/ screaming metal bands

I would quite literally be in love with Genghis Tron if the lead singer would use melody at times... Of course the screaming is part of what makes them good, but a little harmony here and there would be nice.

You're right about Dream Theater. I'd quite like them if they had a different singer

and guitarist

and bassist

and drummer

and keyboard player.

In all fairness, John Myung is an excellent bassist and doesn't actually overplay... but I'll give the rest to you.

LTE seems to be less wanky than DT for some reason... maybe it's because of Tony Levin's presence? In fact I actually like LTE.

Devil Sold His Soul.

I loved Mahumodo, so I was hyped when I founds out two new bands were emerging from the ashes. But I simply cannot stand DSHS's vocalist: he makes me angry.

Agent Steel and lot's of other metal bands that I would dig a lot more if it was'nt for the crappy vocal style.

John Petrucci really isn't that bad. they could do with a change though maybe in sound. but he's the reason why most people go to see Dream Theater in the first place. If they changed that, they wouldn't be so..."original"
