Do you have the Manson and the Spookie Kids demos and albums. That was the first stuff they did before they got famous.
Trivium rocks man! The more I listen to them the more I find there talent. I have listened to some of the new stuff that is coming out soon on the new album and it is even better.

Well I happen to like all kinds of Heavy Metal inluding the ones where they scream and screach, etc...
I have Triviums studio releases and think they are great. Looking foward to the next one coimng out soon.

Very easy question to answer.... Chris Cornell of Soundgarden and Audioslave...
Anyone who says elsewise is just plain uneducated in Rock and Roll...

How right you are Les...as evidenced by my unbridled enthusiasm for Audioslave. If you like the albums, you will like him live. No effects there.
Have to disagree...
I think he is a great singer and I am a fan of his Soundgarden work and think his Audioslave stuff is pretty good but I would not consider him the greatest of all times.
He can easily be put into the list of all time best but he is not the greatest.
All time best Rock Singers:
James Hetfield
Robert Plant
Rob Halford
Freddie Mercury
Eddie Vedar
Chris Cornell
Mick Jagger
Jim Morrison
Steve Tyler
Bruce Dickinson
I am sure I have forgotten a few other greats, oh well...

To put Steven Tyler and Mick Jagger in the same catagory, let alone top list, is pure insanity Adler.....
Insanity I tell ya.... If u listen to Far Beyond the Wheel and Hands All Over by Soundgarden, the proof is right in ur ear... He faaaaaaaaar surpasses anyone on ur list above in pure power, range and purity... Sorry to disagree with ur disagreement, as we usually agree on everything else, but.....
Even Hetfield is in awe of Cornell at times, as he has admitted in the past and as u probably already know...

That list up there is not just hard rock and heavy metal just rock in general and was not in any particular order as well.
I think Cornell is one of the greatest of all times but I dont rank him any better than Hetfield. Sure Hetfield has lost it a bit because of blowing his vocal cords out in 1992 but him Dickinson and Halford can carry a rock tune just as good as Cornell any day.
I really love Soundgarden. I was a big fan back in the day of them but I just can not get into Audioslave for some reason. Sure they are a great band but I just dont like there music that they are putting out very well. Maybe because I am into Heavy Metal more than anything.
I think I am going to start a section for music threads because we allways seem to get into music discusions here and then maybe it wont cloud up the other threads by getting off topic on music anymore.
Sound like a good idea?

Well so much for that, it wont let me do it for some reason. Going to have to talk to Horse or something.

Well, I am a huge fan of Dickinson and Maiden, and while he is definatly one hell of a singer, he actually stated in a Metal Guitarist Magazine interview article that Cornell was by far the premier Rock/Metal Vocalist....
Thats a fact...
I really think Chris it comes down to the roots of ur musical experience... Mine were born out of Led Zep, ACDC, the Doors, Priest... Then came Metallica and changed the world forever..... I happened to be sucked into the Grunge scene before it became popular....
Saw a flyer whilst walking the streets in San Fran about a free show with a band called Primus... What the hell is a Primus? we ask.....
And the rest is, as they say, history...
Personal choice influences personal taste, and as ur roots are laid deep within the Metallica 666 Beast, ur opinion is understandable....
But wrong.......... HA!

Yeah my upbringing started with Metallica back in 1984 when I heard them for the first time and fell in love and then ofcourse there was Ozzy from the 80s and ofcourse Iron Maiden and Slayer and Megadeth!
That is the music that I love the most.
I truely do love rock all together though and like all kinds of rock but most of all I love Heavy Metal and 80s thrash influenced Metal!
Here is an old bit of nostalgia before I joined the military. Im in the middle at a local bar that me and my friends played pool at.

Wow. That's a narrow list. Les has hit the nail on the head with what forms our opinions. I too grew up with Queen, Styx (old Styx), Zepp, AC/DC, Doors, Montrose, Kiss (old Kiss), Deep Purple, Aerosmith, Foreigner (old Foreigner), Yes, Marillion, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Rush (old Rush), Jimi, The Who, etc. I guess my influences were a lot from album rock and less from mid to late seveties heavy metal genre. Cornell is truly impressive. So while I think Freddie Mercury has no peer, Geddy Lee (old 2112 Geddy) comes close, Cornell is the embodiment of raw emotion, savage vocals, greater range and just plain kicks *** R&R.

Gottaa pretty much agree with Matt... RUSH, who I forgot to mention above, was one of my influential bands, and prompted my keen intrest in Les Claypool and Primus...
