theVelvetRoper said: Anxiety said: Weiland and Stapp and Nickelskank all ripped off Vedder...out of all those guys with that bullfrog vocal sound, the only one i might possibly give a pass is (even though i loathe him) darius rucker - and that's just because their whole style as a band was so much different than all that grungey intense stuff. I disagree with Scott Weiland ripping off Eddie Vedder. Stone Temple Pilots were around before Pearl Jam hit it big with Ten. STP weren't huge, but they were around, and Scott Weiland has always sounded like that. And, as much as I do love Pearl Jam and think Eddie Vedder is great, Scott Weiland's voice is way better and he does a lot more with it, not just that deep, low way of singing. Anyway, I don't think you can say Vedder was the pioneer of that way of singing... Jim Morrison was. I think both Vedder and Weiland owe a lot to him. I always thought all those grunge hambones sounded a lot more like Gordon Lightfoot. | |

dancerella said: Mariah Carey (I think she was the first singer to start doing "scales" and "riffs" that you hear every r&b singer do now. Seems like Xtina took that shit and ran with it).
Actually, Mariah will tell you that she got all her runs and riffs from legendary gospel group, The Clark Sisters...namely Karen Clark-Sheard-The Queen of Runs!!! | |
