Most Talented Rhythm/Vocalist.

I'd say James Hetfield, because his rhythm is so fast and tight and his vocals are fast and take much concentration because most of the time its different lyrics instead a repeating chorus. Your Fav?

Alexi Laiho. cuz he usually does lead and sings. Dave Mustaine and James Hetfield id say are good too. and the dude from Kreator whom i dont remember his name

I know I'm an old fart but I'll again have to say Jimi Hendrix. He sings, plays rhythm and solos all at once. SRV and Clapton are great at this also. While I do like Hetfield, cause in a class all his own, I find that I can play metallica songs and sing too. I can't play Hendrix songs and sing.

Both, cool thanks guys, I now remember some that I'd forgotten Hendrix,SRV, Clapton, Laiho.

Phip thats amazing how far he pushed himself to get through the song, great frontman also.

hendrix, srv, lahio.

Liam Gallagher, Rob Halford, John Lennon, and Noel Gallagher.

Some of them may not be the best technically, but their voices are rather good.

I'm not really fond of Metal Singers (other than Halford and ***inson) like Hetfield. Mainly because Hetfield mainly just goes "YYEAAAH!" and "OOOOOOHHH...".

Not to offend anyone but I ment the ones who play rhythm and sing, just them. And to aid my censorship thing, the forum blocked Bruce **inson's name. WTF?

No offense man, but its kind of an aquired taste, you have to get past the growling a screaming to be able to pick up on the melodiies and lyrics.

hetfield is a great rhythmist, soloist, a EXCELLENT singer, a EXCELLENT musician and melody writer, a excellent songwriter... he gets my vote.

Hetfield is all of the above but his lyrics arent as good as some other Metal guitarists. David Gilmour, Hendrix, Cash, Mustaine, and Hetfield.

Well, Halford and Liam are the only two who don't play rhythm (regularly).

Brian Setzer, he's so talented he does a mix between lead rhythm and vocal with a huge orchestra. its cool stuff!

Kai Hansen

He was the singer for Helloween the first few years. And on the 2nd album they got a new singer, but his guitar skills are just... Awesome.
And then in Gamma Ray he became the singer guitarst again... So awesome.

Louis Armstrong - What A Wonderful World



Choon

Fair to Midland - A Seafarer's Knot



Darroh Sudderth is probably my favourite vocalist.

I think League is making two points. The first one is about Hetfield, the second is his contribution to the topic. I don't think they're about the same subject.

Oh. K. Oops.

kai hansen is amazing, wish he stayed with helloween, then maybe they wouldnt be crap now

eric bibb.

jcb3000,

+1, brian setzer rules. have you heard his orchestra and him do in the mood?

There are so many great performers to pick one but if a singer can make me want to cry, well...........................

I only like two of his songs but Lenny Kravitz has rhythm guitar down to an art form.

u cant say most talented rhythm/vocalist

You can if you are stating your opinion, Night.

Though he's not a guitarist, I like Geddy Lee from Rush. IMO, his bass-playing and vocals are excellent.

Mustaine > Hetfield

i like both hetfield and mustaine, hetfield has the vocals but mustaine's better on guitar, a hybrid would be insane!

thought id post some brian setzer with his insane hair

you mean oldschool Metallica? lol

Jimi hendrix. Period.

Yeah, Hendrix. But there's another one that's also happens to be dead that I forgot. Jeff Buckely. His voice is amazing and his rhythm guitar playing is very technical and of course while he sings. Check him out on the tube!

Shannon Hood was IMO the most talented singer. He had a lot of breath.

id have to go with alexi laiho although hes lead not rythem

There is its called No Life Till Leather and The Four Horsemen.
