Rain 1,159 Posted January 14 (edited) Anthrax with John Bush (Armored Saint). Call me heretic, but I actually prefer him as a singer. Granted the band was not as popular during those years, but that goes for metal altogether in the mid 90's. Edited January 14 by Rain 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JoeGBradford 897 Posted January 15 Scottish folk rock band Runrig. The golden voiced Donnie Munro left to be a (sadly unsuccessful) Labour politician - though their ex keyboard player had more success in the SNP. I didn't think anyone could replace Donnie and, although it took a while for me to get used to his voice, I reckon Canadian Bruce Guthro did an amazing job. The band have recently retired after well over 40 years of existence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I may take some heat for this but on a side note I have always felt that way about Jimmy Page. After seeing video of them live I swear that it is not the same person playing on the studio recordings. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've also thought he tended to play pretty sloppy live, but when you imagine what drugs he was probably on for those gigs, it doesn't surprise me! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Real Thing was a GAME CHANGER. You could rock with keyboards. You could write about anything (like a baby's perspective). You didn't need a "look". I don't know if the album is in my top 5, but DEFINITELY in the top 10. Or to put it a different way, I'd take it on a desert island. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd say the same with Foreigner, Kelly Hansen sings the stuff great, but they are just emulating the singer that HAD the popular songs! Same with Styx, even though there is new music. Just cashing in on the legacy of the band's history IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
