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.

      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.


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

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

        Isn’t this a worst voice thread?

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

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

              Amy Winehouse. Absolutely awful.

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

              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.

                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.

                    Bernard Summer, Julian Cassablancas and Liam Gallagher. Pains me to include Bernard as I love NO but he can’t for toffee.

                    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.

                      Meh, I’ve always loved 80s metal and don’t mind taking pelters for it. Would love to have been in LA during that time.

                      alistair Thank fuck Nirvana came round when they did.

                      Indeed. Distinctly remember the schism too, between the younger rock fans my age (Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam) rebelling against their dads/older siblings/cousins with their ‘cock rock’.
