I think it was 2013 maybe? I’ve got a bunch of photos from that festival. I remember it was the end of may 7 hours ago, akvanden said: Gotcha - would have been early 2000s when I would have seen them there. I saw Slipknot at Summerset in 1999 or 2000 at a show called Tattoo the Earth. They were with Sevendust and Slayer. We were 19-20 and so drunk and stoned I hardly remember half the day lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For pure dynamicism and range in tonality in a rock vocalist though, it's really hard to top Draiman. I think Corey actually has a wider range but draimans voice has crazy power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His live version of sound of silence is incredible Just kinda fell off the disturbed train after the 2nd album because it all sounded the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Queen one time in 1980 at the St Paul Civic Center. Unforgettable. Although very different singers, he had a stage presence very much like Cory.

Without googling I think Corey has the wider range? freddy was a power house though and also an absolutely honourable mention to Layne Staley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Posted August 20, 2023 Author Share Posted August 20, 2023 Will say that Corey has the widest range but freddy and Layne had more power within their range? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But of all the singers I've seen in concert, Freddie was the most powerful in sound and presence on stage. That whole stage presence thing can really be deceiving. Makes people seem better than they really are. I had seen Prince when he was a national nobody at 1st Avenue. When he walked out and the lights turned on him, you just knew that you were in the presence of royalty.

Can also be their ability to put on a good show time after time without a lot of screw ups corey can belt a note. And in his preferred range he’s a force. But it’s his ability to go out of his preferred range and still keep it good is what makes him one of the best but also, here’s Corey belting out man in the box. He does better than 99% of singers could but absolutely nobody can do Alice in chains with the power and soul that Layne did 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f7ben Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 (edited) Corey’s voice sounds very thin trying to nail the upper portions of man in the box , also Hawkins butchered that drum cover badly Edited August 20, 2023 by f7ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compared to Layne yeah a bit. He still hits the notes though but nobody has been able to power those vocals like Layne could corey can sing AIC. I doubt Layne could have sang all of Slipknot. That’s the difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rejected the message each time. There were a lot of people saying his closest friends abandoned him leading up to his death. Namely Jerry Cantrell. Same thing happened after Sid Barrett lost his mind. It's just strange how these genius types perpetuate their own demise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently Layne’s existence consisted of video games, speedballing, and hiding. He weighed less than 90 pounds. Just sad and fucked up.
