That dude is busy as hell, how does he find time to record all those albums AND appear on Sesame Street?

Sometimes he does both at the same time.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Love it!

Always loved Guy Ritter, even the whacky high pitched freakiness. To me, it was never Tourniquet without him. That was it for me.

Cronos of Venom, personally I think his voice fits in perfectly with their sound.

Abbath from Immortal. Sure he sounds like Popeye, but that's part of his charm.

Nitro's Jim Gillette - I think the vocals are pretty cool now, but the first time I heard them, I thought 'OK, I like high-pitched vocals and all, but yikes...' )

First time I heard him, I thought he was using helium

Les Carlson, who I think is absolutely fantastic, is an acquired taste for some.

Yes indeed. First time I heard him I thought he sounded too "girly", but years later I thought he was awesome, and still do

Luke Easter from Tourniquet. Sometimes his voice sounds nasally and i don't like when he puts his exaggerated tones on the older songs.

I can definately understand that, although I liked his vocals from the beginning.

I also agree with Scott W. I had the same experience.

I can see people not liking the Stormwarrior vocalist.

I can understand the Roger Martinez thing, although they never bothered me.

I loved Guy Ritter's from the first second I heard them. One of my absolute favorites.

I suppose it all really depends on the person, because I'm seeing people on here that I've loved from the very beginning.

Excellent choice! I love his vox myself.

I tend to like the "love 'em or hate 'em" style vocalist. I don't mind being listed as one either. Better to be loved or hated than to be thought of as mediocre

Here are a few I like that I know many others do not.
Chris Boltendahl
Eric Wagner
Udo Dirkschneider
Peter Dirkschneider
Frank DiMino
Dan McCafferty
