My pick is Five Finger Death Punch and the obvious answer is Ivan Moody. The guy radiates that alpha-male wannabe energy and it definitely rings through all of the songs he has written and performed with this band. The guy is just a prick and a self-victimizing asshole.

I think he’s the primary reason FFDP is mocked so badly.

      I feel the same about a lot of metal. I often really love the instrumental portion of lots of really heavy metal, then often the vocalist opens his fucking mouth and ruins it.

        This is death metal and black metal for me.

        Badass instrumentals. Why the fuck is the vocalist a growling cookie monster? Can’t even comprehend a single fucking word he’s “singing” and yet the song somehow has lyrics. I can barely, BARELY tolerate Cannibal Corpse for the reason that I can comprehend the vocalist.

      Muse was once described to me as the Queen of the modern era. I struggled so hard not to laugh. Muse is alright. They sure as hell ain’t even close to Queen vocally or musically.
