Once upon a time he could, now he's far too concerned with trying to sound like a budget Chris Cornell.

I hate Linkin Park, and I'd agree with you about his voice.

Elvis Presley
Steve Tyler
Robert Plant
Janis Joplin
Shannon Hoone
Billy Holiday
Aretha Franklin
Solomon Burke


And I'm missing one I can't think of right now...

 

[dawgs3312]

a year spent listening to metal just to figure out why it's so popular. and growling only expresses one emotion.

and yes metal does suck in general. but just like with any generalization there are exceptions. slayer for one.

not necessarily in this order:


freddie mercury
david bowie
johnny cash
aretha franklin
billie holiday
Matthew Bellamy
siouxsie sioux
klaus nomi
elton john
billy joel

Robert Smith
Ian McCulloch
Billy Corgan
