There’s a video (Drumeo, I think) where Gregg Bisonette (sp?) says he’ll play and record just about anything (and he has the chops and versatility for it) but isn’t into the Cookie Monster screaming vocals in death metal. That’s a pretty good description IMO.Serious question: How would a band audition someone for that position in the band????? Do you advertise for a singer? a sound effects guy? a death row inmate? a drunk in a bar? I'd rather they just be an instrumental band sans the hollering. I DO appreciate the musicianship, polyrhythms, drumming etc.
Here's one for you... wait for it.

I like the drummer but can’t stand the band

He most definitely was a member. Unless you think his official bio is incorrect.

I read his wikipedia bio. According to that he only played three songs. No mention of a tour.
Steely Dan. Great drummers and some cool grooves, but I have no idea how anyone can just sit there and listen to those songs.

That is a great picture of Charlie and I couldn't agree with you more. Never a big Stones fan but always liked the time keeper!

Styx was Prog? They are corporate rock along with the likes of Foreigner.
Boom. Winger along with Toto have to be the front runners.
They knew it too. After things settled a bit they decided to go with Simon Phillips for the ‘89 reunion.
The singer did create the clone in David Lee Roth.
Ooooo. I can definitely do without music school metal.
Luddite
Mostly intentional comic relief
The hair metal bands weren’t my cup of tea, but some of the drummers were very good. Bobby Blotzer of Ratt and Frankie Banali of Quiet Riot/Wasp were both excellent drummers, along with A J Pero of Twisted Sister. All three of them deserved better, musically speaking.

It not just to scream … I like singer who do clean vocal, gutteral, harsh vocal (cookie monsters) and the screaming. You need knif, forks and spoons to eat big meal.Serious question: How would a band audition someone for that position in the band????? Do you advertise for a singer? a sound effects guy? a death row inmate? a drunk in a bar? I'd rather they just be an instrumental band sans the hollering.

I agree with guys who say Steele Dans good for making girlfriend angry, but not mucho mores.
I like they argue over the Mangenie in Extreem. In my country we have sayings about people’s that argue most ferociously about things with the lowest stakes.

I’m not a fan of the Chili Peppers at all but love Chad Smith and his playing, especially in Chickenfoot. Wish they’d do another album.

Very familiar.......I have owned his solo CD for (maybe 30) years.
Again -- way too good to be associating with BOA.

I think the real issue with many of these is IHeartMedia/ClearChannel overplaying the living hell out of a handful of songs from a handful of bands.
I don't hate AC/DC and like the drums. If I hear one of the same 5 singles on the radio I'm going to pull my teeth out. Non-facetiously I will take any Jonas Brothers song over Back in Black just because my brain doesn't have PTSD from just hearing the guitar.
G&R, Toto, Styx, Hendrix, RHCP, Stones, Beatles are all one in the same when we have media hammering the same few songs from bands that have made more than 5.
Classic Rock radio never expanded. Alternative Rock radio can't get past Santeria, My Own Worst Enemy, Time of Your life,Whatever Everclear's single was and the 20 other songs that live on repeat on Sirius or Mainstream rock radio.
