for me, i like it when they know a balance between the singing and guitar playing, a thing which Dave Mustaine and Alexi Laiho do. between these i'll choose Mustaine though, because while laiho is more technical guitarwise, dave's got a better voice(lol though it's not very good, i know) and he's able to put some emotion and power in his voice, while laiho's sounds monotonous. just growl growl growl raagh raagh reaper

Schuldiner! Who else man?^^ But I also like Robb Flynn, he might not be one of those hypertechnical players, but I really like his vocals and guitarriffs, because they just groove. And Mikael Akerfeldt....:bow:

Daron Malakian of System of a Down. His voice is amazing and while he's not showing his full guitar playing potential, the solo in Lonely Day proves he is capable of of being an exceptional guitarist.

Chuck. The best ever. Dave is a riff machine, however in my opinion he is not the legend that chuck is/was. Mr. Schuldiner, I look forward to the day that I may be able to compare someone to you.

Henry from God Dethroned is pretty intense, especially live. Also Peter from Vader is damn good at being multi-talented. And cant forget to mention Chuck(although everyone already knows he was a prodigy)

I must say Alexi ''Wildchild'' Laiho from COB, this due to his amazing solos and fucking voice

Daniel Gildenlöw from Pain of Salvation for me. This guy has an amazing voice, along with an awesome schizophrenic style of singing (going from aggressive and harsh, to calm and gentle, and vice-versa, with the drop of a hat), he knows how to both sing and play in extremely complex rhythmic patterns that would give most guitar-vocalists a fucking migraine even attempting, and plays a wide range of instruments besides guitar (mandolin, lute, banjo, organ, balalaika, piano, drums, etc). Seriously, Daniel is a musical god.

Five years ago I wrote James Hetfield in this topic. Sure, he's one of my favourites. Today I'd probably say... Tom G. Warrior maybe? I love his bad ass legendary voice and crushing guitar sound. The best though? I don't know, Micke Åkerfeldt?

Not sure if he's the best, but my favorite is definitely Akerfeldt.

Devin Townsend. There's a video of him somewhere doing stand-up comedy while playing. Also, Joe Duplantier of Gojira.

Written by Zombie94 on 17.01.2013 at 11:39 Calling Dave a mustiane a good voalist is hilarious. I enjoy his sound because it fits the music but to be honest het is atrocious, same goes for later day Chuck. And which John gallagher do you mean? The one from Raven or the one from Dying Fetus?

Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 17.01.2013 at 13:56 I love Mustaine's vocals. In fact, he might be my favourite out of the ones I listed, along with Chuck. I'm not judging what high notes they can hit or not, or what range they have. I'm just putting down the vocalist/guitarists whose voices I enjoy listening to. However Mustaine's performances live have been terrible in recent years. He still sounds good on the albums though. And I meant John from Dying Fetus.

Written by Zombie94 on 17.01.2013 at 15:33 Let me guarantee you, not only in recent years  Back in the day he was 9 out of 10 times terrible live as well.

Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 17.01.2013 at 15:37 I was going to show you 2 videos of them playing Poison Was The Cure, but the one I saw a year or 2 ago with the horrendous vocals seems to have been pulled...for obvious reasons. I've noticed in a lot of recent live videos it looks like they've dubbed over him as well. Wellll I've watched lots of their live shows from the 80s and the 90s and it seemed to me he could still hit the notes in the songs and could sing with the aggression in his voice from the early albums.
