Best Metal Vocalist right now

Maynard does take win...I agree with you completely on that point.

It doesn't matter how good a vocalist is if they are proud to front a terrible, horrible band.

i like Slipknot.

and blah blah, lack of musical ability, whatever. i like them for their general grooves and aggression.

The thirty seconds of drumline break in the middle of The Blister Exists is a surprisingly creative touch that other modern metal groups would do well to take a hint from, and I applaud their use of alternative percussion, but as soon as Corey Taylor's pussy little-boy vocals come back in and Mick Thompson's dull, uninspired, bonehead riffs start up I remember that they wear stupid masks on stage and write terrible songs like New Abortion. IMO the utter retardation of the majority of the band's fans is an ample demonstration of the quality of the music and it's target audience. That's all I have to say.

For what it's worth I think Tool would be better off without Maynard. He doesn't deserve an H.R. Giger mike stand, no matter how ridiculous it looks.

.....did you read my post? i said i don't give a **** about their musical prowess or lack thereof. to me they're good for banging your head to a good groove. i'm not gonna overthink it, sometimes music is just a gut feeling, if you don't want it, don't take it.

I don't understand how you can even say that... as I am pretty sure that any band would gladly have him as a featured artist in a given song, or let him write some of their music...

There are a ton of other good headbanging or groove bands out there that you can listen to while still preserving your dignity... But hey, I used to be big into the Transplants S/T (until I bitchslapped myself into reality).

Honestly I just find his voice annoying and I think it and his lyrics have locked them into an "Alt-Metal" path that has made them permanently the domain of techno-metal crossover Rammstein nerds with trenchcoats and acne. They have more potential than that. They're like the Muse of heavy.

Sorry to rain on your parade broski, it's just my opinion. You're right, I spelled the abbreviation of microphone wrong, so clearly it's totally invalid and definitely nonsensical.

Pretty sure you read correctly, and he did spell mic wrong. But the dude obviously just doesn't like MJK's vox. Whats the big deal, I agree I think he can get a little annoying at times. But to say the band is better off without him is taking it wat too far for me. I'm just kind of meh on Tool in general.
