Battle of the Bands

[Bilbo Skywalker]

sorry, i'm forced to disagree.

The 3 times i have saw them live, and the countless live videos i have saw, he has never "stood there" playing his geetar.

 

He jumped around stage, sprayed the crowd with water pistols, got down to his leopardskin thong (umm well i though it was funny)

 

He always invites kids up onstage to play, and has great interaction with the crowd.

 

And it is my belief that he has written the most memorable punk anthems ever, and continues to plug out great tunes.

 

I will never deny the greatness of any of the artists you mentioned, nor countless other lead singers, but he takes the cake for me.

So where are:

the Beatles(any of them could sing well)

Gavin(Bush)

Anthony(RHCP)

Ozzy(even though he can't speak he can sing extremely well)

Maynard(Tool)

He's a keen song writer, but name one "memorable punk rock anthem".

 

And as for Ringo. That man rules. Yes I think he sings well.

[Darth Groovy]

Ringo sang "With a Little Help From My Friends" one of the best Beatles songs by far. He has done some really good solo stuff as well.

[Darth Homer]

I agree w/ NerfYoda, Freddie Mercury is up there...as is OZZY!! Also can't overlook Clapton (also, I voted for Serj from System of a Down b/c he can just go wickedly fast)

 

now for non-rock and roll, Gordon Lightfoot has an amazing voice...happy and upbeat in one song and then cut-to-the-bone sad in the next (he's a folk-sy artist, but has some really amazing songs)

umm basket case, when i come around, brain stew, hitchin a ride

 

you tellin me none of those are anthems for the nu-punk generation?

 

 

ok, i realize we have differing opinions, we should end this here so's to stay on topic.

[Rogue Nine]

I was going to stone you if Bono and U2 weren't there.

Woohoo punk genres clash yet again! I consider punk "anthems" to be songs like Sham69's "If the kids are united", the DK's "Nazi Punks F*uck Off" and OpIvy's "Unity". Damn you new school fools.

 

We now return you to our thread currently in progress.

[Camus]

Dexter Holland from the Offspring... You have to admit not very many people can sing like him... lol

[BlindReaper]

Serj Tankian of System of A Down

Wesley Reid Scantlin of Puddle of Mudd

David Draiman of Disturbed

[Darth Talliusc]

david draiman.

 

i also like the *other* singer in linkin park, the one with the more *rappish* style about him. (the guy who had the red hair in the early video "one step closer")

[JandoFett1842]

Aaron Mack and the KilL JoyS!!!! (Band of made up of kids that goes to my school)
