I'm probably a dork for thinking this, but I feel like metal bands are sometimes kind of funny which is even more funny because they really are just trying to be dark, but it turns laughable for me cuz it sounds like one of these guys is their lead singer.

So if that's true, which one would be your favorite metal singer... and if you do vote, which character best describes which real band (jokes are most welcome).

Gollum


Darth Sidious


Joffrey Baratheon


Pennywise The Clown


Hans Landa


Lord Voldemort


Jigsaw


The Joker

Does it suck or create amazing drone ambience/metal?

Hard call... Think

Leaning towards Gollum. Can't help but feel he'd only use about six words, but he'd definitely be able to utilize his rasp for singing chops.

Definitely not Hans Landa or Baratheon though. Hans even as a choice is kinda weird.


Anton Chigurh could probably whip up some black metal/southern country crossover worth listening to.

hehe - yeah Gollum actually comes up a lot when I listen to metal - sometimes it is 6 words and sometimes does indeed sound like Gollum, to me at least.

Anton Chigurh... now I could get on board with some of that... there likely already is someone like that, but something isn't coming to mind right now.

Hans was for all the fascist metal bands and Baratheon was for the whiney hair metal bands... closest thing I could think of for Axel Rose... (Glam Metal)

Gollum all the way, and I would appreciate any recommendations on bands/singers that actually do sound like him. Even better if they sing, “myyyy PRECIOUS!!” Duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh..,

Almost bought that in a used record store, but couldn't quite pull the trigger.

ahahahahahaha - I now know the worst record ever recorded. It's too bad he didn't actually execute a true metal sound cuz that'd actually be awesome/creepy.

But yeah wasn't asking for the equivalent of Okilly Dokilly.

Howdilly Doodilly by Okilly Dokilly

More like which bands sound like evil villains of movies (either in a legit way or mocking way).

Gollum so far for the win (two votes in the comments at least), but hey, a pretty even spread for a few others too!

On a serious note, does anyone else struggle to take lead singers seriously when they sound like Gollum or Darth Sidious or is that just me?

Sometimes the "overproduction" of some metal groups makes it sound a bit too canned just like bad pop music too (there's good pop music, don't get me wrong) - anyone care to comment?

Part of me is like, I want to understand and then part of me just realizes taste is just different and that's ok.
