I'd be more likely to listen to AC/DC without Brian Johnson. He hasn't done anything wrong (that I know of) and he's a talented vocalist, but that rasping voice of his makes me wince every time I hear it. Does he gargle glass shards?

Honestly... Maynard from TOOL. Tool is my favorite band for decades at this point but if anyone had to go, it would be him. We'd get more albums from Danny, Adam and Justin and none of the snobby asshole attitude MJK brings to the band. I'm not anti-MJK but I'd love to get a version of TOOL without him in the mix.
Maynard is the poster-boy of pretentious.
The very thing so many Tool fans aspire to be, that project this 'Third-Eye' that they claim to have and see things that they claim nobody else can see or express.
They say very intelligent things like "you know, the world sucks and the two-party system is destroying us".
Things that are incredibly common these days.
Tool, (more) instrumental
:)
Hell yeah. 74 solid minutes Danny shredding, spattered across the entire album with Adam, and J-d-o double G takin us on a kickass adventure. Damn that would be sweet.
Yep, I'd buy that so fast...
On a side note, ever heard of Soen?
Smashing Pumpkins. I hear their intros and guitars and I’m like “oh cool”, then in comes that screeching loser Billy Corgan, his voice the sound of a thousand fingernails on a thousand blackboards.
Guns N Roses. It amazes me that there are people who listen to them in purpose. I can't stand them. But 90% of it is just because of Axl Rose. Slash is a great guitarist, and it's a shame he's drowned out by the sounds of a clown punching a cat.
GNR is definitely one where I like the singing sometimes and hate it others. Strongly depends on the song.
Muse without the vocals.
Love the instrumentals, vocals strike me as written by a teenage theatre kid. Overly dramatic and theatrical in a way that doesn't fit well imo.
Will listen to the first 45 seconds of "assassin" then it's tike to turn it off lol https://youtu.be/nNPSSs1xnpY?si=sfnQHjlgclCEwWwZ
Muse was once described to me as the Queen of the modern era. I struggled so hard not to laugh. Muse is alright. They sure as hell ain't even close to Queen vocally or musically.
Bellamy has larped as Jeff Buckley since the very beginning.
I feel the same about a lot of metal. I often really love the instrumental portion of lots of really heavy metal, then often the vocalist opens his fucking mouth and ruins it.
This is death metal and black metal for me.
Badass instrumentals. Why the fuck is the vocalist a growling cookie monster? Can't even comprehend a single fucking word he's "singing" and yet the song somehow has lyrics. I can barely, BARELY tolerate Cannibal Corpse for the reason that I can comprehend the vocalist.
Could you give us some specifics?
To each their own, I suppose.
Justin Sane from anti flag used his fame to rape people. I can't listen to them anymore without thinking of this, which sucks
Yep, I have removed AF from all my playlists.
