Quote:I used to be a big Metallica fan, then they came out with St. Anger and it was the worst album I have ever heard. The prominent snare drum in the songs on that album gave me a migraine. From then on, they just haven't sounded the same to me. I do really like Avenged Sevenfold though. M. Shadows has one of those voices where he can scream with the best of them, but he also has a very melodic voice as well. Shadows, Corey Taylor and Tobias Forge are probably my favorite metal vocalist right now. 

 

As far as Ghost, they have a sound like no one else. Have you heard their cover of Here Comes the Sun? It's intoxicating. 

 

Can't fault you there. I only like two songs from that St. Anger album (Frantic & All Within My Hands). S&M album was great for me. Perfect blend of metal and symphony all in one. Couldn't get any better in my opinion for them after they pulled it off. Corey Taylor is underrated in my opinion. Between his work with Slipknot and Stonesour he's shown incredible range. Big fan of that Audio Secrecy album they put out a few years ago. 

 

Ghost is steadily making me want to see them live at some point if they ever get back over here close to Jacksonville. And I've heard that cover. It's a damn good Beatles cover for sure. Tobias delivers as a singer. It's early but I really like him up there with guys like Chris Cornell, Aaron Lewis, Robert Plant, Lajon Witherspoon, Maynard James Keenan, Glenn Danzig & Bruce Dickinson for me as far as overall uniqueness.
