Guest stuartmaxwell Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 inspired by the RL thread.what bands do you like that have a duff singer?idlewild-woomble is an awful singer, always has been. i have pre-captain demos on tape and he is even worse back then. but that was always part of the idlewild charm, ragged nutter etcnew stuff is ok, but not a patch on the older stuff (although the song "in remote part" may be the best thing they have ever done)forgot to follow is the greatest ever idlewild song, bob weston produced it, legend!

craig deadenstereo Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 Ever heard the song "We're not gonna make it" off of the first POTUSA album?Not that he's an awful singer, but the lyrics are relevant.Woomble's singing is actually alright now I reckon, but sucked balls and licked bumhole in their early years. In fact, I'm very suprised they ever got signed after hearing Queen of the Troubled Teens - it's trash. But hey, once you go below the Tay, the shitier your music - the more "charm" you have.

Guest stuartmaxwell Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 they got signed becaue their live shows were fucking ace back thenthey couldnt play a note, jumped on the bigg fuzz and it was finethey used to be the best live band in the country.he is ok now but he is still duff livei think lyrics are def a contribution to it,look at dedalus, the guy has a decent voice but the lyrics are pretty poor and he seems to "fall doiwn" a lot,when are sluts on junk playing again?

Charlotte Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 Ash - I think Tim Wheeler sounds *awful* on the last 2/3 albums. His voice was not meant for melodic singing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stripey Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 Dido is a fucking awful, bland singer who can't even compare to the likes of Beth Gibbons, who I think she wishes she was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hog Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 There are several bands in Aberdeen who have really dodgy vocalists but Im not going to say who they are because its not even constructive criticism. On an International front, Liam Gallagher is just a sneering shit face and the Coldplay guy is simply uninspiring when duetting with Thom Yorkes superior vocals.

calum Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 I think he left cos he felt that tom(singer) was trying to rule the band too much, but i could be wrong. I don't really want to say too much cause i know how annoying it is when people get it wrong. We've lost two members in our 8 months of existance, one of them being tom who used to sing for us. Thats their second drummer in a couple of months. Their old one was our guitarist. We exchange members all the time cause we started as a gone 2 far side project!

Is there actually gonna be tickets? Youll have a hard time gettin people to shift their arses out to Westhill. Although, for the record, its gonna be cheap, and there will be Westhill mammys boys aplenty to beat up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calum Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 several? I'd go as far to say most.There are some real good ones as well though. The guy from Dedalus in particular, and a few others. In general though in aberdeen, we are extremely ropey, ie crite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
