12stringbassist Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I don't think that John Deacon did a lead vocal on anything and he was quoted as saying his voice was not that great for backing vocals either and that he felt awkward miming them in videos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben4343 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Fat Mike from NOFX is the only one I listen to regularly that hasn't yet been mentioned. I think the guy from Less Than Jake shared lead vocals. Have we had Troy Sanders? Does Prince count? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutSpoon Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 How about Royston Langdon from Spacehog (who used to be married to Liv Tyler you know.) and could swallow a mike. Great singer, great line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great singer, great line. Have you ever noticed how singists seem to have larger gobs than the rest of the band? I mean, Carly Simon could probably swallow the desk along with the mic, you know? I don't think I have the chops to be a really good singer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassTractor Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Ellen Andrea Wang of the Ellen Andrea Wang Trio - some kind of crossover jazz with tendencies towards rough synth sounds, minimalism, Pat Metheny, pretty vocal melodies and probably a lot more. Have yet to delve into their output, but am pretty impressed so far, and here are some examples: From their album Blank Out: Here a Still-Life (Talking) vibe from their album Diving : 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassTractor Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Oh! Found the very gig that drew me to them. Love the style, love the compositions, love the sound, and especially love the musicianship of all three. As a keyboard guy myself, I love this key guy's output. Very fitting live. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
