Seriously, can any rock singers hit a good note anymore?
 

Seems like the big trend these days is out of tune lead singers....when the fuck did this become the standard?

tenacious d has a kickin lead singer

jack black? LOL

I wouldn't really consider tenacious d to be rock though

they friggin rock! :thumbsup

When music executives realized that stupid kids would buy any bullshit they put on MTV. Why give real musicians record deals? Just create a "band" out of a bunch of flunkies who will do and say whatever the execs tell them to.

death metal screaming type stuff or more mellow rock?

Ok, let's start naming names. :)

Prolly started with Curt Cobain. Did you hear him on "MTV: Unplugged"? Changed the face o music back in '91.

note? note? what? dude, no. music with "good notes" does not exist anymore

I have noticed that most of the singers that make it to the top these days have a very limited range. No doubt there are some bands with singers with talented vocals out there but the limited range style seems to be more popular at the moment. I am a punk fan so I don't mind a bit of 'out of tune on purpose' singing but on the other hand when you listen back to voices like Freddie Mercury you realise how talented he was as a vocalist.

this isn't "new" but the singer of Steelheart put ALL new "rock" singers to shame.

he's the one that did all of the singing on the movie Rockstar

that dude has a lot of power in his voice

Was just thinking the same:

ac/dc, cream, boston, the baggs, blind faith... etc

each one a brand new band

Howard Jones can sing quite well.
Get Killswitch Engage - Holy Diver [Dio cover] to see his true talent.

Bruce Dickinson - daaahh
Rob Halford - daaah
Andre Mattos - Shaman
Tobias Sammet - Edguy

There r TONS of others who still rock, but I guess those ones r on top.

Yea the unplugged joints are always the best

Exactly :thumbsup

I guess I should have been more clear....

I know there are TONS of kickass new groups coming out, but I am talking more of the shit you hear on the radio and mtv....all the same shit with a different (sometimes same) package

looks and sounds like a girl . . . :2 cents:

My take on this is to not listen to the fucking radio if you want to hear good music :)

The singer from Slipknot can both scream and sing very very well as evidenced by Stone Sour's "Bother".

well, we have a great station here called 99x...anyone that has been to atlanta knows it is a great station, so we listen...but they can't help but throw in the obligatory new rock song every now and then, and I can nevfer tell the artists apart

here is 99x's recent playlist though, they play a little of everything:

There is no such thing as rock anymore... old school died.
