I really really don't like PoS, but I still love Gildenlol's voice.

Not liking PoS is like not liking life in general.
Ask me, I know.

Either way you turn, Gildenlow will be there. Open up your skull, Gildenlow will be there.

His voice is very good. Its the overall package of PoS that I don't see the massive appeal for. Or his political tool-ness.

This probably sums it up best for me. It's hard to give a simple yes or no, because what he does is so diverse. There's no denying that he is a tremendous vocal talent. But as far as whether I "like" him as a vocalist, I would give him mixed reviews. I would compare him to Mike Patton in a lot of ways. By that, I mean that he is very talented, very creative, very expressive, and has an incredibly wide array of styles he is able to draw on. However, also like Patton, some of the stuff he does, both in terms of his own vocals and in terms of the musical compositions he is singing on, are too odd and don't appeal to me, even though I can definitely recognize and appreciate the artistic factor in what he is doing. Does that make sense?

I get what you're saying, and I think everyone knows a few artists that fit that same bill in their views. It's a better outlook than "this singer does not fit my standards, therefore he/she must be terrible."

Fuzzboy · « **Reply #40 on:** August 10, 2011, 11:42:35 AM »

Depends. On a song like If You Wait, yes. On a song like No way, no.

No one has said that though.

Yeah. I do.

Heeerrrreess ZOOKY! No I don't like his voice. I think it's atrocious. I'd rather listen to Dave Mustaine. Not trolling. Dave might be a horrible singer, but I still enjoy his voice. Maybe it's because I grew up listening to Megadeth though.

.....OK.

I don't love PoS but I think he's a fantastic singer.

The King in Crimson · « **Reply #46 on:** August 10, 2011, 04:35:05 PM »

He's alright.

He has quite a bit of range, but, my biggest problem with him, is that he tries to use waaaaaaaay too much of his vocal range, like, all the time. Plus, I overall don't really like his harsh vocals and his rapping. There are a few songs where I enjoy his use of those vocal ranges, but they're pretty sparse.

I think the comparison to Patton is good. They're both extremely versatile singers, but, they also seem to overuse their voices too much. There's something to be said for exhibiting a bit of control.

I'm sloooooooowly starting to like his voice.

alirocker08 · « **Reply #48 on:** August 10, 2011, 04:39:47 PM »

Let's just say I Mangini'd when I heard his voice, and leave it at that.

NecessaryPain · « **Reply #49 on:** August 10, 2011, 04:42:44 PM »

Yes.

His voice is outstanding.

That is all.

also on the topic of daniel's vox; the last couple days i've been spinning the hell outta the song he did for Axamenta a few years back. SO good. and such a POS-esque track. totally sounds like it coulda been on the perfect element.

Zook · « **Reply #54 on:** August 11, 2011, 12:30:43 AM »

I listened to some of Beyond The Pale earlier. His voice wasn't as annoying as usual, but I wanted to turn the song off so many times because of that damn guitar. Eventually I lost interest.

So I retract my earlier statements. His voice CAN be atrocious, but not always. I still don't see the big deal.

No thanks. I already said I wasn't a fan of Gildenlow.

I agree that Russell Allen is a better singer, but DG has a much wider range of styles.

black_biff_stadler · « **Reply #58 on:** August 11, 2011, 01:40:31 PM »

I love DG, I just wish he had a better self awareness for when his theatrics become contrived.

What a shocking DTF result to this poll, I'd never have guessed.

bosk1 · « **Reply #60 on:** August 11, 2011, 03:36:22 PM »

Good point. On most other music boards, the results would be more like:

Yes: 5%
No: 2%
Who?: 93%

In what way is it shocking?
Even the people that don't like PoS (god knows why) are at least able to identify him as a good singer, or well.. some are.

Yes, I love his voice. However his ego has been bugging me for a while.

The ego thing 1000%. I was just thinking about this the other day. I think his voice has been sub-par the last 2 albums. His vocals on Remedy Lane and PE1 were just stellar.

He's one of my favorite singers in any genre. One of the people I'm gonna stalk the rest of my life until he agrees to work with me on a project. Seriously.

Good idea. DG is great with weaving tragic life experiences into compelling songs.

Pretty much this. He's incredibly talented, but he has a habit of going really far over the top, which kills it a bit for me. This problem is also getting worse as every album goes by.
