Biggest Rock / Pop Stars With the Worst Voices

Old-Dutch

Got to be Springsteen for me - absolutely fucking horrendous.

Just listen to the fucking state of this ffs

Mad_Cyril

Ian Brown

Massive cunt to boot

Old-Dutch

Yes! Contender for the crown there

mono-stereo

Ian Brown gets a pass becuase he’s Ian Brown. I hate vocalists who just belt it out. Adele springs to mind.

bosstrabs

Ian Brown was the first name that came to mind.

Literally worse than the most tonedeaf cunt you’ve ever been to karaoke with.

I fucking hate karaoke too.

Is he a massive cunt? The jury seems to be out. I know quite a few people around Warrington and Lymm who’ve met him and say he’s a nice bloke. But, on the other hand, he did threaten to chop an air stewardess’ hands off mid flight.

mono-stereo

bosstrabs Yeah my mate live in Lymm and says he’s alright. I think most of these Indy stars are generally OK.

Mad_Cyril

bosstrabs Is he a massive cunt?

In my opinion, yes. The Covid shite alone was remarkably irresponsible, even for a knuckledragging chancer.

In the same bin as those blue cunts from London.

Also my own opinion, not that of some random Cheshire whoppers.

bosstrabs

Mad_Cyril Also my own opinion, not that of some random Cheshire whoppers.

Reasonable.

He did actually live in Statham, a not very pleasant (but obviously not Wythenshawe bad) ex-council estate in Warrington for a few years, inbetween the Roses dissolving and his solo career properly taking off. Those I’m talking about did actually live near him and met him in the shops, the Church Green pub etc.

mono-stereo

Apart from Morrissey.

C_J

Adele?! Give over!

Mad_Cyril

bosstrabs They’re not Hursty’s “sources” are they?

mono-stereo

Tracey Thorn (protection, massive attack) has got a lovely voice. Nice lass, used to live next door to a boozer i worked in when i was 17 in Hull. Beautiful tone.

Smallman1

mono-stereo Tracey Thorn (protection, massive attack) has got a lovely voice.

Isn’t this a worst voice thread?

Old-Dutch

What the fuck is going on here, Mono? Adele and Tracey Thorne?

Old-Dutch

Mono needs to get back on the booze. And bangers. And anything else he can get his hands on

mono-stereo

Old-Dutch I’m fucked 😛

bosstrabs

Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins) also dreadful live. Damon Albarn pretty bad.

mono-stereo

bosstrabs Mccartney is a waste of air live.

C_J

Amy Winehouse. Absolutely awful.

Marvin Gaye’s another one. Couldn’t string two notes together to save his life that cunt.

jonattonyeah

It pains me to say this, but Axl is fucking terrible live. They must have done loads of takes for him to get the songs perfectly right.

Good call on Billy Corgan. Whiny. Not my thing. Recognize that Radiohead is a great band, but have a hard time with Yorke’s voice for the same reason.. Yeah, yeah, musicianship and skill and all that, but I cannot help what I don’t like.

Best might be Vince Neal. Not because it’s good, just because it fit the Crue perfectly. His voice from that era might’ve created new STDs.

ScottBailey

jonattonyeah Vince Neal

Yup, and it pains me to say it as a diehard Crue fan. Not sure if he invented it, but he certainly perfected mumble rock. How the Crue ever got anything on record is beyond me.

Honorary mention to Stephen Pearcy in this thread. Ratt are another of my favourite bands, but Stephen was always going to be a showman first, album singer (at best) second.

bosstrabs

ScottBailey Ratt are another of my favourite bands

LOL, fucking hell.

jonattonyeah

ScottBailey Yup, and it pains me to say it as a diehard Crue fan. Not sure if he invented it, but he certainly perfected mumble rock. How the Crue ever got anything on record is beyond me.

Awful, awful band that put out some proper disc 2′ers. Did what they did. Kick start my heart.

The Dirt is an excellent book. The Netflix series is terrible, but the book is a very good read.
