    "I try my best to chug, stomp, weep, whisper, moan, wheeze, scat, blurt, rage, whine, and seduce. With my voice I can sound like a girl, the boogieman, a Theremin, a cherry bomb, a clown, a doctor, a murderer. I can be tribal. Ironic. Or disturbed. My voice is really my instrument."

    I forgot Joe Strummer(he had a really cool voice on everything he did including and after London Calling) and Bruce Springsteen...maybe not the two most techincally skilled singers but theyre great and very recognizable

    I also love Scott Weiland after he stopped doing his "imitation voice"...Certain stuff on Purple showed this, but mainly its everything hes done Tiny Music... and after.
    I've faced it, a life wasted, and I'm never going back again.

    Some die just to live.
