I ran out of room for the title 😂 so just to reinforce the idea of this video, these are vocalists that only sang on one album for a certain band! We both know many of these guys came from other bands, gone on to other bands & even produced some solid solo material! Throw down a few in the comment section that you’ve thought of 🤘 Thanks as always ~ Darcy
The ´94 Mötley Album is the only one album I take seriously from the band. Sure, with Vince they had all the success but for the creatively side only this is so satisfying. Love it to death!
I wish John would have stayed for Generation Swine, it would’ve made that album a hell of a lot better! When the best song on it is Shout At The Devil ‘97 what does that tell you 😂 Thanks for watching
My favourite Annihilator lineup is the Alice In Hell lineup from 1989 with Randy Rampage Jeff Waters Anthony Greenham/Dave Scott Davis Wayne Darley Ray Hartmann
thank you Darcy. the topic is really interesting. Van Halen 3 was a real failure. But it was also due to the zeitgeist and Eddy's ego. Gary is a great singer. he was just t in the wrong place at the wrong time.
"Born Again" is a remarkable album and Gillan has done a great job, but I'd love to hear it with Ozzy on vocals! The first that comes to mind is that insufferable Uriah Heep album, the only one with John Sloman on vocals, 1980's "Conquest"...hard to live up to David Byron and John Lawton and most of the songs are below average ...
Great topic Darcy. If you are a fan of Steve Grimmett, check out his work with Lionsheart. Very good material. I need to revisit In Search Of Sanity. Totally agree about The Force. Perfect album 👌. I need to revisit the s/t Motley Crue album. Been years. Cheers 🍻.
Cool video 👍 Good to hear a mention for Onslaught, I've always like the In Search Of Sanity album although it is very different to the Sy Keeler stuff. Steve Grimmetts vocals are awesome. That Motley Crue is a good listen, much heavier than their other albums with a much better vocalist.
Very very cool episode! Aaron Randall did that Set The World on Fire album with Annihilator. The Coburn Phar Omen album was before Never Never Land. How about the very over glossed Quiet Riot album with Paul Shortino!. And Jizzy Pearl doing Shrinking Violet with L.A. Guns! Good topic Darcy!
Rules: 1. Ian Gillan with Black Sabbath - Born Again. (I can't say Glenn Hughes cuz even though I like "Seventh Star," I wouldn't say it "rules". 2. Graham Bonnet with Rainbow - Down to Earth and with Michael Schenker Group - Assault Attack 3. Karl Agell with Corrosion of Conformity - Blind 4. Neil Turbin with Anthrax - Fistful of Metal 5. Papa Emeritus III with Ghost - Meliora
Even though my favourite track on Blind is Vote With A Bullet that’s a great pick my friend, one I’ve certainly forgot about! I didn’t know there was more than one Ghost guy 🤣
Here's some that I figured out and my opinions: Uriah Heep - Conquest (Pretty terrible) Yes - Drama (Awesome, surprisingly works) First Dream Theater album (Sounds like a cheap Rush copy, the band hadn't found their sound yet) Rainbow - (In both cases, Graham Bonnet and Doogie White, worked quite well) Deep Purple - Slaves and Masters (Songwriting wasn't up to par. Could've worked though, but didn't) Foreigner - Unusual Heat (Was pretty average, not successful) Anthrax - Fistful of Metal (Singer sounds a little goofy, still a great record. Glad they replaced the singer though)
Awesome stuff as usual Darcy! Every time I see a new video from you, it makes my day. Especially on days like yesterday and today when we had a driving ban due to all of the snow. We got about 60 inches of snow in the last week. Take care 🤘
Dude I cannot believe the amount of snow you guys got pummelled with! Unreal!! It’s actually warming up here, only -30C lol. Thanks for positive vibes brother 🤘 Stay Safe
I like Motley Crue as a stand alone album, just don't think it really sounds or feels anything like a Motley Crue album. When you raised this topic, Accept and VH immediately came to mind as common in my collection, but now has me thinking what other ones I may could dig in and find. Quiet Riot just came to mind as I was typing. :)
Yes the QR with Paul Shortino, I forgot about that one! That one was supposed to be called King Of The Hill but they chose to just keep it self titled. Keep thinking Jeff, I bet you could come up with another half a dozen 😉
I don’t listen to music for “intelligence”. I think the album sales and turnouts at the shows during this time, told the story best. I’d say I’m in the vast majority of ppl that think Corabi never really fit in with the Crûe. As a matter of fact, he made a huge mistake leaving The Scream. That is the band he was in that could’ve actually hit it big. It’s my next to least favorite Crüe release(next to New Tattoo🤮) & they should’ve changed their name, imo. Great video tho! Although I would’ve added in Bite Down Hard with Tommy Paris, from Britny Fox. That album always goes sooo gd hard! 🤘🏼
I never really thought it about that way, your right The Scream was on the way up! Good pick, that’s a very good Britny Fox album. Thanks for being honest, you never have to worry about me taking things the wrong way 🤘 Take care ~ Darcy
Burning Starr - "Rock the American Way" with Frank Vestry is a masterpiece that gets overlooked. Killer rock album. Also, Malevolent Creation - "The 13th Beast" with Lee Wollenschlaeger is a rager.
Thanks for adding to the list! I’ve never heard that Burning Starr album, I will check it out. Thanks for taking the time to watch & comment 🤘 Take care ~ Darcy
Good choices Darcy. Since Exhorder put out a new video the other day im going to use Kyle Thomas for two of these. Trouble - The Distortion Field from 2013 Alabama Thunderpussy - Open Fire from 2007
Hi Darcy. "Shout At The Devil" got me into Mötley Crüe and I really love that album, however, after that things, for me started going downhill until the '94 ST album came out. I had started listening to heavier stuff and this new album with John Corabi really blew me away! A much heavier, serioius and musically improved band in my opinion, and probably my favourite Mötley Crüe album. Really hoping for a vinyl release. As far as the Van Halen album with Gary Cherone goes, I'm really sad that everything was rushed and the album is a bit of a mixed bag, because Gary is an awesome vocalist but was not given a fair shot... Keep on Rockin' Darcy 🤘
Yeah, it’s definitely no fault of Gary! I’ve watched some live VH footage from that tour, he did a great job! I’m hoping we see that Mötley Crüe reissue this year. Thanks for watching & the great comment 🤘 See you in the next one :))
Onsaught´s "In Search..." was announced as "Blood On Ice" when Sy was still in the band, I don´t know if he recorded any demos for the album. Onslaught played one European tour with Grimmett, Annihilator was opening. There were maybe 50 people there and after Annihilator left the stage only maybe 15 remained to watch Onslaught. The Annihilator record came out after Omen. It´s a shame Coburn only recorded two albums, he has a great voice. I have "Born Again" on vinyl as an unmixed version that sounds way better than the actual album, it also has an unreleased song called "The Fallen". It´s about time for a reissue of the album!!! Also "Cross Purposes", the only Black Sabbath I still don´t have on vinyl. Tony Martin era boxset around the corner??? I heard rumours...
I was betting you’d be able to tell me if Sy recorded any demos for that album, his version of Shellshock is great! I heard May for the Tony Martin box set, I have that set for auto purchase ha ha 🤘 Cheers brother
I've always loved Born Again since a teenager. In my opinion it's a great and unique Sabbath album. The vocals are awesome! And it's an Evil sounding album. It has a dark eerie feeling when listening to it in my opinion. Zero The Hero is so awesome! Very good idea for a video Darcy 👍 take care brother🤘🍺
Cool video darcy was wondering if you have anything by your fellow countrymen saga? they did one album in 2009 called the human condition with a different singer before the original vocalist came back great band!
I’m only a casual Saga fan, do like them but don’t own much. e•a•r music did some great reissues over the past few years, I’m temped to get a couple of those. Thanks as always 🤘 Have a great weekend
‘In Search Of Sanity’ was my introduction to ‘Onslaught’… so although I know it’s different in style to their other releases… I have a real soft spot for it & always enjoy it! I’ve never heard ‘Born Again’ yano… I’ll have to check it out! Always good to see you brother!🤘🏻
That Born Again album cover might be a little too tame for you lol. Definitely worth checking out, very unique album. I’ve been thinking about you brother 🤘 Tty soon
A good topic to cover Darcy and some great album choices. For the most part I really like all the albums you showed. The Van Halen suffers more from weaker song writing than Gary's vocals imo. I really like that Onslaught album, not their strongest but still a great listen.
Great video. That onslaught record is very good I think but man you’re right about the cover, it’s unlistenable 😂. The force is there peak for sure. And I’m one of those annihilator fans that only have the first 2, but never never land is my favorite because of the vocalist. He is awesome on there. Gonna be looking through the collection to find some more of these. lol. Stay well brother. 👊🏻👊🏻
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 I couldn’t wait to stream it on my 45 minute drive to work this morning. It’s absolutely killer🤘🤘🎸🤘🤘 Looking forward to my viynl.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. That self titled Motley album is an absolute beast, John Corabi is amazing on it. Shame about Van Halen 3, it's an album I had high hopes for but the song writing was very lacklustre. Great idea for a video mate. Cheers Darcy
Yes I know you love the ‘94 Crüe album, I’m right there with you! Only wish John would’ve stayed for one more album. Thanks as always 🥶 Stay Warm James
Another good topic from the six stringer! That Accept album depends on my mood I can sway from one extreme to the other. Onslaught isn't terrible but I no longer own it. I was stood near Steve Grimmett in 95 in IKEA of all places 😂. I didn't approach him though. The one that come to mind for me were Paul Kimball who sang on the 4 Mordred album in 1994. He was a good fit for the time being an Eddie Vedder clone I can see why they done that but it's dated badly. See you tomorrow brah brah
I really like the album Motley did with Corabi. That’s my 3rd favourite Crüe album next to SATD and TFFL. There’s some good stuff I enjoy on the VH 3 album. I think at that point everyone was just sick of the VH brothers and their bullshit and didn’t want to hear a new singer. A couple other albums that come to mind Dream Theater - When Dream and Day Unite (with Charlie Dominici on vocals - RIP Charlie) Exodus - Bonded by Blood (with Paul Baloff on vocals - RIP Paul). It’s the only Exodus album that I own actually.
This is a textbook case of which album you hear first by a band you come to like becomes your favorite. I LOVE that Onslaught album, I love all of the albums with Sy as well but there's something extra special about In Search of Sanity for me. I was into Grim Reaper and a buddy at school told me their singer just joined a thrash band, so Wow I bought the cassette and yes, I know, the stupid intro is 8 fucking minutes long, but then the rest of the album RIPS! It's true the production is squeaky clean and a little sterile for thrash, but the Riffs are There, and Grimmet gives probably his best performance ever! I dig it very much, even the AC/DC cover. Another record that a singer did only one record with an established band is Rainbow's Down to Earth with Graham Bonnet, sure he's not Dio, but he's way better than Joe Lynne Commie, ER, ahem, Turner. Some good songs on that record.
Ha ha yes I forgot to mention that intro, it’s like is this shit going end already! I love those first 3 Grim Reaper albums, R.I.P. Steve. Thanks taking the time to watch & comment, always appreciated 🤘 Stay Heavy ~ Darcy
Really cool video. I really like 'Eat the Heat', and I think the vocals are good on that album too. I love everything about 'In Search of Sanity' - Steve sounds great, the weird intro is brave, and the AC/DC cover is one of my favorite cover songs. But I am kinda weird in terms of what I like and what I don't like :D The self-titled Crüe album is my favorite Crüe, and I much prefer Corabi as a vocalist. The vocals on that Annihilator album are perfect IMO. I love 'Born Again', but the vocals are kinda weird... and I kinda like that.
Hi Darcy!!! I think all of this records are a mix bag for many fans of the bands.....some love them, some hate them!!! I think Accept's "Eat the Heat" it's a good record for another band not for the classic sound of the band and that's why U.D.O's solo stuff sounds more like his previous band..... I like Born Again maybe because it's an odd one in their discography. Cheers and be well
Great topic Darcy 🤘I own copies of all six albums you showed and I like the same ones that you do. VH3 was better live than the album, it was the only time I saw VH live was with Gary. He did a great job of Dave and Sammy’s songs 🤘
I have one that hasn't been mentioned in the comments yet. Jaime St. James on Warrant's Born Again from 2006. I really like this album, the songs are catchy and full of hooks. But I haven't met another person who liked it as much as I do lol. If you expanded it to vocalists who only sang on 2 albums you could do a whole new video on it. Robert Mason in Lynch Mob and Warrant, Blaze Bayley, Ripper Owens, I'm sure there's tons more.
I’ve honestly never that Warrant album, but I really like the first 4 Black ‘N’ Blue albums. That Warrant album will be on my listening list for this weekend. Thanks for the recommendation and great comment 🤘 Hope your doing good Shawn
@@ShawnBoyko Sorry I’m late getting back to you, but I listened to Born Again twice. Jamie fits in perfectly on vocals, and the overall sound fits in with they’re first 2 to 3 albums. Favourite track Roller Coaster.
Other than the Van Halen album, all of these vocalists sound fine with their respective bands. I actually saw Accept live with David Reece and it was a great show.
That’s cool you got to see them on that tour! David Reece just released a new album March 1. Also if you haven’t checked out Iron Allies Blood In Blood Out with David & Herman Frank (ex-Accept) I would recommend that one. Thanks for taking time to watch & comment 🤘 Cheers from Canada
Corabi is responsible for one of Mötley’s best albums. The writing is top-tier and the heaviest they have ever been. The production is also the best they’ve ever had.
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 Bob Rock really knows how to bring out a band’s sonic power, for sure. I remember Mick and Tommy being ecstatic with the results, and maintained how much they loved working with John.
Had a hard time coming up with examples other than Yes - Drama. The ones I'm thinking of were on at least 2 albums like Tim "Ripper" Owens (rules!) on two Iced Earth albums and Paul Menel (doesn't rule) on two IQ Albums.
First album that came to mind for me is Candlemass - Chapter VI. I stayed away from anything after Messiah for a couple decades but when I got this album I loved it. I listened to it a lot. Thomas Vikstrom did a great job. Born Again slipped my mind. I love side A of that album, but I'm not fond of Side B. I'm to lazy right now to look up who sang on St. Vitus C.O.D. album, but I didn't like it and sold my copy. I think Dave Ingram, of Benediction, did a good job on Bolt Thrower- Mercenary. I love Trouble and I bought their Live album thinking it was Eric Wagner on it but turns out it's the only album Kory Clarke sang out. He was terrible. I sold the album without ever flipping it to side 2. I love Grim Reaper but I never got into Onslaught
For me, the one-album singer that really stands out is Neill Turbin of Anthrax, who sang on "Fistful of Metal". Their best IMO. In the middle? Well, there was the singer on QR III. Forgot his name.
Hallo my friend This is a great Video and still a brillant idea ! David Reece really SUCKS on the Eat the heat Album !! It doesn´t work (IMO) He is not a bad Vocalist (Iron Allies: Blood In Blood Out is still an awesome Album) Udo Dirkschneider and Mark Tornillo are the voices I wanna hear on Accept Albums !!! Have a nice day and cheers,Heiko
Motley Crue, what can I say? I was a big time fan into the early 90's, but when the John Corabi album came out I did not like it, I never bought it or the next two. At this point, mid to late 90's I was heavily into all the European power metal bands, I did grab Saints Of Los Angeles, and enjoy that one quite well. Cheers my friend!!
The Motley Crue album with Jon Corabi is excellent. If the album would have had any other band name on the cover it would have done well. I haven’t heard Eat the Heat yet, I still have a couple holes in my Accept collection.
They had good singers too for me Aaron Randall was good but definitely not their best but I still thought he was good Dave Padden was great Joe Comeau was great I like Joe more than Aaron Jeff Waters is great Randy Rampage was awesome and Coburn Pharr was awesome too My top 3 singers in the band would be Dave Padden Coburn Pharr And Randy Rampage another great one for me that’s not in my List is Jeff Waters and Joe Comeau too
Black Sabbath (Ian Gillan), Motley Crüe (John Corabi), Yes (Trevor Horn), Van Halen (Gary Cherone), Deep Purple (Joe Lynn Turner), Rainbow (Graham Bonnett). I also thought of Anthrax, Dream Theater and REO Speedwagon but you said you arent counting debut albums.
It’s not that I wasn’t counting them, I just those were easy picking lol. The first 3 Rainbow albums are my go to, but Graham did a great job on Down To Earth. Thanks for taking the time to watch & comment 🤘 Take care ~ Darcy
How about Jizzy Pearl fronting the L.A. Guns album SHRINKING VIOLET. Jizzy's voice is a unique gem. The album is certainly more bluesy than glam and I think it's a great change. On ther other hand, Chris Van Dahl did not elevate the album AMERICAN HARDCORE. The band was scuffling for another direction and it didn't work.
I’ve never heard that L.A.Guns album. I still listen to the first 2 Love/Hate albums once in a while, very unique voice! Thanks for taking the time to watch & comment 🤘 Cheers from Canada
love Omen … JD Kimball totally fit their sound … looking forward to ‘escape to nowhere’ rerelease too… love Black Sabbath’s born again… Ian Gillan sounds gd with them… his evil shriek n laughter… love it.. i love the mix of the album too… love the album cover.. on the other hand..Glenn Hughes doesn’t fit Black Sabbath’s sound n style…. 7th star is the weakest frm their catalogue… i somehow feel Steve Grimmett doesn’t fit Onslaught… his style of singing kinda forced to fit Onslaught… he nds Nick Bowcott to write some gd… catchy n melodious songs…. Onslaught didn’t give justice to his voice… love Annihilator.. no matter who’s on it… Van Halen to me.. it’s either DLR or Sammy… \m/
Great comment! Agree with everything you said, especially Steve’s vocals feeling forced in Onslaught. Thanks for hanging out with me 🤘 Annihilator rules ha ha
Good topic. It got me thinking. Quiet Riot reformed in the late 80's without Kevin DuBrow. They replaced him with one of my favorite singers, Paul Shortino. I love Rough Cutt and he does great on the album. Doesn't sound like Quiet Riot at all but I still like it. Aaron Randall is the best singer that Annihilator ever had, in my opinion. Set the World on Fire is killer! Jaime St. James sang on Warrant's Born Again album after Jani left and it's pretty decent. Joe Lynn Turner on Deep Purple's Slaves and Masters does an excellent job. Not the best album, but it has it's moments. Black Sabbath with Glenn Hughes was some stellar Blues Metal. Seventh Star is a top 10 Sabbath album for me and it's mostly due to Glenn's vocal performance. Johnny Edwards from Buster Brown sang on Foreigner's Unusual Heat album. It wasn't a commercial success but Johnny did well and it's a decent attempt by Foreigner to do a Glam Metal album. Peter Scallon was the singer on Samson's underrated Refugee album. Really good melodic blues voice out of Peter. I'm pretty sure that its the only album he ever sang on, which is a shame. Very under the radar but very good. Also, I do like In Search of Sanity. I'm a big fan of Steve (R.I.P.) and the album is pretty good.
Thanks for taking the time add a few to the list, a couple I don’t know. Annihilator Set The World On Fire is a great album, lots of underrated albums in their discography. Thanks again 🤘 Stay Heavy ~ Darcy

@@EmrahUncu Now you know 😉
I agree,John Corabi on ""Motley Crue"". His perfomance on this album was absolutely awesome.
Totally agree Piotr 🤘
Glenn Hughes on Sabbath's 7th Star but definitely agree that Born Again should have a good reissue box set...
I hope we see that box set this year! Thanks as always for taking the time to hang out with me 🤘 Stay Heavy ~ Darcy

@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 it's sure to come as a shock to some...😆. I had a feeling I'd see Accept and the Crue.
That just means you’re paying attention in class, and I can be a bit predictable 🤣
I know they’re not anywhere near Metal, but the 1971 REO Speedwagon album with Terry Luttrell on lead vocals.
Here's some that I figured out and my opinions:
Uriah Heep - Conquest (Pretty terrible)
Yes - Drama (Awesome, surprisingly works)
First Dream Theater album (Sounds like a cheap Rush copy, the band hadn't found their sound yet)
Rainbow - (In both cases, Graham Bonnet and Doogie White, worked quite well)
Deep Purple - Slaves and Masters (Songwriting wasn't up to par. Could've worked though, but didn't)
Foreigner - Unusual Heat (Was pretty average, not successful)
Anthrax - Fistful of Metal (Singer sounds a little goofy, still a great record. Glad they replaced the singer though)
A few I’m not familiar with, and agree with everything you said about Anthrax. Thanks for taking the time to list a few 🤘 Take care ~ Darcy
Drama is My most favorite YES album and I'm a big YES fan. Awesome! Album in my opinion.👍 Also have always loved FISTFUL OF METAL 🤘
Candlemass- Chapter VI one of their best albums, featuring Thomas Vikstrom on vocals

That Born Again album cover might be a little too tame for you lol. Definitely worth checking out, very unique album. I’ve been thinking about you brother 🤘 Tty soon
A good topic to cover Darcy and some great album choices. For the most part I really like all the albums you showed. The Van Halen suffers more from weaker song writing than Gary's vocals imo. I really like that Onslaught album, not their strongest but still a great listen.
Great video. That onslaught record is very good I think but man you’re right about the cover, it’s unlistenable 😂. The force is there peak for sure. And I’m one of those annihilator fans that only have the first 2, but never never land is my favorite because of the vocalist. He is awesome on there. Gonna be looking through the collection to find some more of these. lol. Stay well brother. 👊🏻👊🏻
Oh man I’ve heard better AC/DC covers riding in elevators lmao. Let me know if you think of any more bands that fit the bill 🤘 Cheers brother
Bolt Thrower's Honour, Valour, Pride comes to mind. Dave Ingram from Benediction sang on it...released in 2001. Very good album
There’s another one I forgot about, good pick, good album! Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers Marc
Yes🤘waiting for that Saxon as well Darcy. 🤘🔥🤘
Coffee on ✔️ Headphones on ✔️ Saxon on 🔥🤘
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 I couldn’t wait to stream it on my 45 minute drive to work this morning. It’s absolutely killer🤘🤘🎸🤘🤘
Looking forward to my viynl.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. That self titled Motley album is an absolute beast, John Corabi is amazing on it. Shame about Van Halen 3, it's an album I had high hopes for but the song writing was very lacklustre. Great idea for a video mate. Cheers Darcy
Yes I know you love the ‘94 Crüe album, I’m right there with you! Only wish John would’ve stayed for one more album. Thanks as always 🥶 Stay Warm James
Frank Marshall on zero hour's fragile mind album did a phenomenal job in my opinion
I’ve never heard that one, I’ll check it out! Thanks for chipping in & thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Canada
Great show and topic....Great to hear someone talking about ONSLAUGHT
I’m hoping for a new one from them this year, Generation Antichrist from 2020 was just relentless! Thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Planet6Strings
Another good topic from the six stringer! That Accept album depends on my mood I can sway from one extreme to the other. Onslaught isn't terrible but I no longer own it. I was stood near Steve Grimmett in 95 in IKEA of all places 😂. I didn't approach him though. The one that come to mind for me were Paul Kimball who sang on the 4 Mordred album in 1994. He was a good fit for the time being an Eddie Vedder clone I can see why they done that but it's dated badly. See you tomorrow brah brah
IKEA rules! Brah Brah 🤣😂
I really like the album Motley did with Corabi. That’s my 3rd favourite Crüe album next to SATD and TFFL.
There’s some good stuff I enjoy on the VH 3 album. I think at that point everyone was just sick of the VH brothers and their bullshit and didn’t want to hear a new singer.
A couple other albums that come to mind
Dream Theater - When Dream and Day Unite (with Charlie Dominici on vocals - RIP Charlie)
Exodus - Bonded by Blood (with Paul Baloff on vocals - RIP Paul). It’s the only Exodus album that I own actually.
This is a textbook case of which album you hear first by a band you come to like becomes your favorite. I LOVE that Onslaught album, I love all of the albums with Sy as well but there's something extra special about In Search of Sanity for me. I was into Grim Reaper and a buddy at school told me their singer just joined a thrash band, so Wow I bought the cassette and yes, I know, the stupid intro is 8 fucking minutes long, but then the rest of the album RIPS! It's true the production is squeaky clean and a little sterile for thrash, but the Riffs are There, and Grimmet gives probably his best performance ever! I dig it very much, even the AC/DC cover. Another record that a singer did only one record with an established band is Rainbow's Down to Earth with Graham Bonnet, sure he's not Dio, but he's way better than Joe Lynne Commie, ER, ahem, Turner. Some good songs on that record.
Ha ha yes I forgot to mention that intro, it’s like is this shit going end already! I love those first 3 Grim Reaper albums, R.I.P. Steve. Thanks taking the time to watch & comment, always appreciated 🤘 Stay Heavy ~ Darcy
Nice idea for a video, some great picks as well. I've never heard that Motely album.
Really cool video. I really like 'Eat the Heat', and I think the vocals are good on that album too. I love everything about 'In Search of Sanity' - Steve sounds great, the weird intro is brave, and the AC/DC cover is one of my favorite cover songs. But I am kinda weird in terms of what I like and what I don't like :D The self-titled Crüe album is my favorite Crüe, and I much prefer Corabi as a vocalist. The vocals on that Annihilator album are perfect IMO. I love 'Born Again', but the vocals are kinda weird... and I kinda like that.
Hi Darcy!!! I think all of this records are a mix bag for many fans of the bands.....some love them, some hate them!!! I think Accept's "Eat the Heat" it's a good record for another band not for the classic sound of the band and that's why U.D.O's solo stuff sounds more like his previous band..... I like Born Again maybe because it's an odd one in their discography. Cheers and be well
Going for an obscura choice that is ian perry on the album 'the fire within' for the band eternity's end neoclassical progpower metal.
Great topic Darcy 🤘I own copies of all six albums you showed and I like the same ones that you do. VH3 was better live than the album, it was the only time I saw VH live was with Gary. He did a great job of Dave and Sammy’s songs 🤘
That’s the VH3 footage I watched, Australia Tour. Hope to see you back on video 🤘 Have a great weekend brother
I have one that hasn't been mentioned in the comments yet.
Jaime St. James on Warrant's Born Again from 2006. I really like this album, the songs are catchy and full of hooks. But I haven't met another person who liked it as much as I do lol.
If you expanded it to vocalists who only sang on 2 albums you could do a whole new video on it. Robert Mason in Lynch Mob and Warrant, Blaze Bayley, Ripper Owens, I'm sure there's tons more.
I’ve honestly never that Warrant album, but I really like the first 4 Black ‘N’ Blue albums. That Warrant album will be on my listening list for this weekend. Thanks for the recommendation and great comment 🤘 Hope your doing good Shawn
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 Awesome, I'd be curious to know what you thought about it.
You will hear from me by Monday 💪
@@ShawnBoyko Sorry I’m late getting back to you, but I listened to Born Again twice. Jamie fits in perfectly on vocals, and the overall sound fits in with they’re first 2 to 3 albums. Favourite track Roller Coaster.
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 Glad I was able to recommend something and that you liked it! lml
Other than the Van Halen album, all of these vocalists sound fine with their respective bands. I actually saw Accept live with David Reece and it was a great show.
That’s cool you got to see them on that tour! David Reece just released a new album March 1. Also if you haven’t checked out Iron Allies Blood In Blood Out with David & Herman Frank (ex-Accept) I would recommend that one. Thanks for taking time to watch & comment 🤘 Cheers from Canada
I was all prepared to question your cred/taste when you got to the Crue album, so great that we agree: the eponymous is easily the best Crue album.
Ha ha fair enough! Yes great album, should not be overlooked 👊
Corabi is responsible for one of Mötley’s best albums. The writing is top-tier and the heaviest they have ever been. The production is also the best they’ve ever had.
Probably one of the best produced albums I’ve heard! I’m looking forward to a new one from The Dead Daises. Thanks as always 🤘 Take care ~ Darcy
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 Bob Rock really knows how to bring out a band’s sonic power, for sure. I remember Mick and Tommy being ecstatic with the results, and maintained how much they loved working with John.
Had a hard time coming up with examples other than Yes - Drama. The ones I'm thinking of were on at least 2 albums like Tim "Ripper" Owens (rules!) on two Iced Earth albums and Paul Menel (doesn't rule) on two IQ Albums.
I have those Iced Earth albums with Ripper on them, both are quality! Thanks for adding a few to the list & thanks for watching 🤘 Cheers from Canada
First album that came to mind for me is Candlemass - Chapter VI. I stayed away from anything after Messiah for a couple decades but when I got this album I loved it. I listened to it a lot. Thomas Vikstrom did a great job. Born Again slipped my mind. I love side A of that album, but I'm not fond of Side B. I'm to lazy right now to look up who sang on St. Vitus C.O.D. album, but I didn't like it and sold my copy. I think Dave Ingram, of Benediction, did a good job on Bolt Thrower- Mercenary. I love Trouble and I bought their Live album thinking it was Eric Wagner on it but turns out it's the only album Kory Clarke sang out. He was terrible. I sold the album without ever flipping it to side 2. I love Grim Reaper but I never got into Onslaught
Curtis Skelton on Impellitteri - Pedal To The Metal great unknown singer
Ok cool I will check that one out! Thanks for watching and thanks for the recommendation 🤘 Take care ~ Darcy
Wade Balck has sung in only one Crimson Glory album, Astronomica. He did great work
Thanks for adding another one to the list 🤘 Stay Heavy ~ Darcy
For me, the one-album singer that really stands out is Neill Turbin of Anthrax, who sang on "Fistful of Metal". Their best IMO. In the middle? Well, there was the singer on QR III. Forgot his name.
I love a lot of what Anthrax has done, but Joey is the voice of the band for me! Nothing against Neil & John, that’s just how it is 😂
I remember QR III. Not bad at all IMO. Stay with me tonight was the song that stuck with me.
@marcdiego1 My favourite song on the album 👍
Hallo my friend This is a great Video and still a brillant idea ! David Reece really SUCKS on the Eat the heat Album !! It doesn´t work (IMO) He is not a bad Vocalist (Iron Allies: Blood In Blood Out is still an awesome Album) Udo Dirkschneider and Mark Tornillo are the voices I wanna hear on Accept Albums !!!
Have a nice day and cheers,Heiko
I’m really excited for a new Accept album this year, first on their new label Napalm Records. Have a great weekend my friend 🤘
12:10 For me both Randy Rampage and Coburn Pharr are tied as the best singer of Annihilator
Motley Crue, what can I say? I was a big time fan into the early 90's, but when the John Corabi album came out I did not like it, I never bought it or the next two. At this point, mid to late 90's I was heavily into all the European power metal bands, I did grab Saints Of Los Angeles, and enjoy that one quite well. Cheers my friend!!
I might just force a copy on you when it’s reissued lol. Have a great weekend Ed 🤘
😳🤢
😂
The Motley Crue album with Jon Corabi is excellent. If the album would have had any other band name on the cover it would have done well. I haven’t heard Eat the Heat yet, I still have a couple holes in my Accept collection.
I’m confident you’ll enjoy Eat The Heat, let me know if you pick it up! Have a great weekend brother 🤘
They had good singers too for me Aaron Randall was good but definitely not their best but I still thought he was good Dave Padden was great Joe Comeau was great I like Joe more than Aaron Jeff Waters is great Randy Rampage was awesome and Coburn Pharr was awesome too My top 3 singers in the band would be Dave Padden Coburn Pharr And Randy Rampage another great one for me that’s not in my List is Jeff Waters and Joe Comeau too
Corabi album is by far the best Crue
It’s definitely essential Crüe! Thanks as always 🤘 Cheers Ronnie
Black Sabbath (Ian Gillan), Motley Crüe (John Corabi), Yes (Trevor Horn), Van Halen (Gary Cherone), Deep Purple (Joe Lynn Turner), Rainbow (Graham Bonnett). I also thought of Anthrax, Dream Theater and REO Speedwagon but you said you arent counting debut albums.
It’s not that I wasn’t counting them, I just those were easy picking lol. The first 3 Rainbow albums are my go to, but Graham did a great job on Down To Earth. Thanks for taking the time to watch & comment 🤘 Take care ~ Darcy
Toxik,Anthrax the debut lp also had 1 vokillist
Actually all 3 Toxik albums have a different vocalist. Good pick 🤘
Yep that they did Darcy.@@darcysixstringsninelives3493
How about Jizzy Pearl fronting the L.A. Guns album SHRINKING VIOLET. Jizzy's voice is a unique gem. The album is certainly more bluesy than glam and I think it's a great change. On ther other hand, Chris Van Dahl did not elevate the album AMERICAN HARDCORE. The band was scuffling for another direction and it didn't work.
I’ve never heard that L.A.Guns album. I still listen to the first 2 Love/Hate albums once in a while, very unique voice! Thanks for taking the time to watch & comment 🤘 Cheers from Canada
When is Omen "Escape from nowhere" being released again? I have been wanting that for a long time. I had it on cassette
January 26
@darcysixstringsninelives3493 Do you know what company is putting it out? Cause I tried looking and I can't find it anywhere
eu.kingsroadmerch.com/metal-blade/product/23950/escape-to-nowhere-digi-cd
Sorry, I should’ve gave you more info earlier. I ordered my vinyl copy from High Roller Records.
@@darcysixstringsninelives3493 It's weird that it's being put out by Metal Blade, but yet it has no domestic release.
love Omen … JD Kimball totally fit their sound … looking forward to ‘escape to nowhere’ rerelease too… love Black Sabbath’s born again… Ian Gillan sounds gd with them… his evil shriek n laughter… love it.. i love the mix of the album too… love the album cover.. on the other hand..Glenn Hughes doesn’t fit Black Sabbath’s sound n style…. 7th star is the weakest frm their catalogue… i somehow feel Steve Grimmett doesn’t fit Onslaught… his style of singing kinda forced to fit Onslaught… he nds Nick Bowcott to write some gd… catchy n melodious songs…. Onslaught didn’t give justice to his voice… love Annihilator.. no matter who’s on it… Van Halen to me.. it’s either DLR or Sammy… \m/
Great comment! Agree with everything you said, especially Steve’s vocals feeling forced in Onslaught. Thanks for hanging out with me 🤘 Annihilator rules ha ha

Good topic. It got me thinking.
Quiet Riot reformed in the late 80's without Kevin DuBrow. They replaced him with one of my favorite singers, Paul Shortino. I love Rough Cutt and he does great on the album. Doesn't sound like Quiet Riot at all but I still like it.
Aaron Randall is the best singer that Annihilator ever had, in my opinion. Set the World on Fire is killer!
Jaime St. James sang on Warrant's Born Again album after Jani left and it's pretty decent.
Joe Lynn Turner on Deep Purple's Slaves and Masters does an excellent job. Not the best album, but it has it's moments.
Black Sabbath with Glenn Hughes was some stellar Blues Metal. Seventh Star is a top 10 Sabbath album for me and it's mostly due to Glenn's vocal performance.
Johnny Edwards from Buster Brown sang on Foreigner's Unusual Heat album. It wasn't a commercial success but Johnny did well and it's a decent attempt by Foreigner to do a Glam Metal album.
Peter Scallon was the singer on Samson's underrated Refugee album. Really good melodic blues voice out of Peter. I'm pretty sure that its the only album he ever sang on, which is a shame. Very under the radar but very good.
Also, I do like In Search of Sanity. I'm a big fan of Steve (R.I.P.) and the album is pretty good.
Thanks for taking the time add a few to the list, a couple I don’t know. Annihilator Set The World On Fire is a great album, lots of underrated albums in their discography. Thanks again 🤘 Stay Heavy ~ Darcy
