Bad yet Good Lead Singers.... (bootleg, listening to music, single, album)

TheCaster · 11-27-2007, 08:02 AM

Ever realized that some lead singers like Axl Rose from GNR and The lead singer from Ac/DC wouldnt've gotten very far without angus or slash? I was listenin to back in back the other day and was liek woah.. he sucks yet it sounds so amazing.. any other bands like this? or do you think the lead singers could've gone far by themselves

If you mean Bon Scott i disagree , I heard the band he was in before AC/DC (The Valentines) and his voice was the only decent thing about them.

If you mean Brian Johnson he was in a band called Geordie in the 70s who released a string of album throughout that decade and had several top 10 hit singles.

So you are wrong in both cases

And Axl could sing his ass off. Slash should not be under sold but "no where?"....man.

I just thought of this. Only Urban would know of and have heard Bon Scott's first band.

How many warlocks CD's do you have?

Ah, i never listened to any of their other band things, and by bad i meat kind of a rough raw voice like they couldnt sing that well without music behind them. Both of them are great singers but if they sang without music they would'nt be all that great..

I've noticed that sometimes....like listening to music that I like and thinking that the singer wouldn't be able to pull off something acapella. Really its just that his/her voice is interesting and fits the music.

precisely

Depends what you are looking for in a vocalist.

Bon Scott's voice for example is full of character. When he tells you he slept with a 17 stone woman or got in a fight in a bar or spent years wandering around with no money trying to make it in the music industry you believe him because he had the conviction & sincerity in his voice to project that. He wasn't technically brilliant but then with those kind of songs he didn't need to be , and would sound unconvincing otherwise.

Which is what i meant by they wouldnt be anywhere without the guitarists. like if htey didnt have those kind of songs then they would suck
