Tornado of souls had one of the best guitar riffs and best guitar solos of all time, as well as one of the worst most amateurish vocal performances of any song ever
Limp Bizkit. Never like them. Then I heard some of Wes Borland's side projects. Made it clear that there were really good musicians in the band that could have evolved in interesting directions. But we'll never know because they were held back by Durst's angry drunk trashy frat-boy image and idiotic, juvenile lyrics.
Unpopular opinion but King Diamond. That man is a acquired taste. Oh he's real good and Mercyful Fate + KD is full of bangers but to the untrained ear sounds like Elmo sometimes. At least when I first was introduced.
Once my brain got over "it's not Elmo it's falsetto" it got a lot better. Glad I did because Melissa/Them/The Conspiracy are mandatory.
Banned, why? You are welcome to your bad, wrong opinions! It tells the rest of us who can be safely ignored. On the contrary, we thank you for your service.
Anything with that screaming/growling vocal style feels like this to me. I get that it's a specific style and a specific skill to do, but holy fuck does it feel like nails on a chalkboard to my brain.
Yeah they were sick back in the day. Then they fired their vocalist and the new guy got pissy when he wasn't as good. I might have trolled him on Facebook for a bit because he was such an asshole. I haven't listened to them since that night when I saw them and he was a huge dick to everyone at the show
Definitely has to be Megadeth without a question. Imagine them with an actual singer and they’d be so insane.
Dream theater is second but only because labrie has had his voice deteriorate so much over the years. His voice on every album up to octavarium was amazing.
A lot of people really love Luc Lemay's vocals, and I think they're fine for the most part. It's just that I feel like he strays off the line between "Dark, menacing vocals for uncompromising music" and "Hilarious pained wailing" just a little bit too often.

You are 100% correct but that's not stopping me from being mad about it

Any Djent band ever

The only djent I like is Destiny Potato/Sordid Pink. Her voice is insane!

Well vocals are non-existant in a lot of djent music lol

Oh, 100% agree. Ironic since he sang the Godzilla cover in King of the Monsters.

Sonata Artica. Don't get me wrong, the story telling in his songs is amazing, but it's very obvious English isn't his first language.

Faith No More. Although "We Care A lot" popping up in Guardians 3 was one of the few bits I enjoyed.

Coheed and Cambria. Example.
ShunkW@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y
I'd say skeletonwitch solely because their current vocalist is a turd.
mr_sifl@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y
Wow I didn't know they were still a band. I saw them open for Cannibal Corpse around the time Breathing the Fire came out and they were rad.

Unpopular opinion: Iron Maiden. It has taken me quite a while to get used to the vibrato in Dickinson's voice. Still not totally sure I like it.
