OK, my critiques:

Why does he always sound like he is trying to squeeze a bowling ball out of his rectum? He's singing like he has something wrong with him, being all breathy and like he's forcing the words out painfully. And then as it gets towards the end, he starts to randomly scream and go back to the annoying Passing-of-the-Bowling-Ball technique...It's as if he's thinking, "Well, I can't sing worth a crap, and this is going to sound especially crappy if I *try* to sing it, so I'll scream like I am mentally challenged! Yes, that ought to work!"

Boy, you sure answered my questions with "reason as to why I like them" or whatever it was you planned on saying.

Sir, I grant you the Most Well Thought Out Post Award for your great and meaningless use of a fvcking smiley.

And the ICP are grand masters in vocal perfection.

ICP is funny to look at, listen to, etc...Manson is nothing of the above.

I didn't feel like justifying your post with a considerate response since you certainly took the time to write yours without any.

You simple could have stated you didn't care for his vocals. You received an eye roll because you basically insulted anybody who listens to his music. You DESERVED an eye roll.

He also told you WHY he didn't like his vocals...

Situation 1 : You are unhappy with your job. You have found a new job. You walk up to your boss and tell them that you hate his sorry excuse for a company and that you always have while also insulting his wife and his taste in suits. Then you say 'Oh, by the way, can I get a recommendation?'

Situation 2 : You are unhappy with your job. You have found a new job. You file your 2 weeks notice and leave on good terms. You ask for a recommendation and receive one.

Sometimes common sense is needed when choosing which option to take in certain situations.

Well, let's hope that MM doesn't read this thread then, that way he will never have to read the insult that was made towards him...

I think LordMauls description was pretty accurate... 😀

There are not enough adjectives in the english language to convey just how much that song sucks.

Better than the original, agnitrate? You need to step away from the crack pipe.

Crack pipe? I wish. Maybe then I would appreciate some music that other people enjoy.

Do you think the song sucks or his rendition of it sucks? I think his version is excellent. Perhaps if you had stated why you disliked it, I would actually have been able to tell you why I liked it so much. Until then, I'll just assume it's because you are afraid to like it because of the person who did it.

Manson blows monkies out of his a$$. The word idiot comes to mind. As does no-talent-loser-who-must-dress-like-a-weirdo-to-take-attention-away-from-the-fact-he-has-no-talent.

As for ICP. They suck just as bad.

There, there. Would you like a tissue?
Hey, listen: I love John Tesh. People bash him all the time. You don't see me getting all teary-eyed over it. He answered your question quite clearly.

I was trying to let the thread die because of the futility of the argument.

I wasn't 'upset' nor were my 'feelings hurt'. I just thought it was a jackass way to state his opinion. Hence my response. I felt I answered his statement quite clearly as well.

Who gives a damn about his vocals or his skill or whatever? Music is an art not a multiplayer computer game. Keep your skillz nonsense out of a music discussion or go find a "diva" messageboard.
 
He's a tool as well as his whole band. One of my fondest memories was watching Twiggy get chased out of Monaco Bob's by a dozen angry punks throwing bottles. Well, almost as funny as watching Ian MacKaye throw the singer from Soul Asylum out of his show (fugazi) for trying to schmooze in for free. 🙂

He's not a tool, TOOL is my favorite band and I SURELY know them when I see them 🙂
