Bad yet Good Lead Singers.... (fan, talented, Lute)

^He's not referring to the guitars, he's referring to the type of songs they wrote in general. When you're singing about the stuff that Bon Scott sang about in AC/DC, you don't need to be all that technically skilled. Hell....I would probably find entertainment in Bon Scott reading me a damn Harry Potter book in the voice he sang with. Anyway, the point is, it's not about the guitarists.

Now...Kurt Cobain would have just sounded like a whiny crack addict if he hadn't been backed by the music that Nirvana played.

And as great of a lyricist he is, and how well his voice fits their music, Geoff Rickly (Thursday) would probably sound horrible on his own.

Brian Johnson and Axl Rose have cool voices... They are unique and can not be duplicated. What makes them so great is that they are brilliant front men. They can work the crowd and belt it out and that is what they do. Ever been to a GNR or ACDC concert? I have, Appetite and Razor's Edge... OMFG!

I saw them around 93/94 (My first ever all day festival

)
They were headlining , they were absolutely awful.

Thankfully the Cult made it worthwhile

Whelp, that is why opinions are like... Everyone has one. Compared to some of the stuff that spews forth from the radio nowadays, they are Mozart. So... Some like em some don't. Now I don't like the "New" GNR. It's funny that it takes 3 guitars to replace Slash ans Izzy! LOL Oh well...

Ahh thanks for finding words for me

And that and the fact that you can actually tell they were high when they wrote thier songs is why i dont like nirvana

Dude,

Brian Johnson and Bon Scott rock! Brian especially rocked the Back In Black album and likely damaged his voice touring to promote AC/DC's Back In Black album.

The dude sang and helped write the lyrics to one of the best selling albums of all time.

How could Angus and Malcolm fire a guy like Brian. He's super cool and works hard. AC/DC could sell almost anything now so who cares.

Axel Rose kicked ass too. I mean he had some quirks like that R,R stuff but hey he also helped write some killer songs.

But Axel isn't anybody now days Slash is still working. The dude just had personel issues.

Dave Chapel isn't working anymore either but he kicked ass too. Doesn't mean he wasn't great, he just quit. I know he isn't a musician but he made a great comparison to make this point lol.

Led Zepplin didn't get high when they wrote their songs lmfao.

(your sig pic)

I mean come on you don't like songs that were written by high musicians? You must like classical music then. How many rock stars don't get high all day long?

I still ever so slightly want to rip Robert Plant's eyes out. Slightly.
