Billy Spleen Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 then please tell me why you disagree with my original post? Cause Billie is definitely a better singer than Mike
Billy Spleen Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 then please tell me why you disagree with my original post? But, i understand opinions.
fromdecimateddreams Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 I think Billie's a bit better, yeah. He has more of a range and more diversity. Mike isn't a bad singer at all, he's just not as confident.
Guest Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Mike is an awful singer in comparison to Billie Joe. Without the support of a studio, he's nothing more than mediocre at best. Not to say that he's not a talented man in other ways - because he definitely is - but not in the singing department. Billie isn't so hot without a studio either, to be fair. Recently he's been missing more notes than he's been hitting. It's quite painful, actually.
Guest Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Still better than Mike. Considering Mike only does backing vocals, it's hard to tell
Tubbie Head Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 I agree Cat! But I still love it when Mike sings on the records (and live) it fits really well with Billie's voice. I just wouldn't like it if they completely inverted their places. I don't think I would be as much of a GD fan as I am now. I love Billie's voice so much. Unpopular opinion: I think Billie is singing just fine now. I find it weird when I see people saying his voice isn't as strong as it used to be or something like that... I can't hear much of a difference.

Guest Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Unpopular opinion: I think Billie is singing just fine live. I find it weird when I see people saying his voice isn't as strong as it used to be or something like that... I can't hear much of a difference. His singing live has nearly always been kinda poor. He did improve a bit during the 21stCB period, but he's gone back to his usual ways. He just kinda shouts most of the notes to cover up the fact he doesn't quite hit them. I guess I just kinda noticed it a lot more recently because I've started listening to a lot more bands' live performances and Billie just doesn't compare at all.

I always thought they sounded amazing live (including Billie).
Guest Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 I remember watching him signing his part in Modern Age a few years ago and it was cringe worthy. Link? I've always found his backing vocals quite strong. Ok, well it doesn't bug me really. I always thought they sounded amazing live (including Billie). Just listen to Biffy Clyro Live At Wembley, and then Bullet In A Bible. You'll see what I mean
musso_kn Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Cause Billie is definitely a better singer than Mike I disagree. Mike's vocal on American Eulogy are really aggressive and raw and I love it. Your avatar is so you, by the way.
Billy Spleen Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Your avatar is so you, by the way. Why thank you

Billie sings amazing live and his vocals got even better after the Broadway training. I disagree with you so much.
Tubbie Head Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Link? I've always found his backing vocals quite strong. Just listen to Biffy Clyro Live At Wembley, and then Bullet In A Bible. You'll see what I mean But Simon isn't sounding that great live at the moment! Still great, bit not as good as the Wembley show. Bullet in a Bible sounds awesome too! It's two different kinds of voices, I can't compare them. I think Billie sings live very similarly to the way he sings on the albums.
Guest Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? Billie sings amazing live and his vocals got even better after the Broadway training. I disagree with you so much. Disagree away. All you've got is your opinion But Simon isn't sounding that great live at the moment! Still great, bit not as good as the Wembley show. Bullet in a Bible sounds awesome too! It's two different kinds of voices, I can't compare them I guess. I'd give him the benefit of the doubt, he's just after coming back from a severe bronchial infection, his singing is allowed to be a bit off Erm if you can find it it'll be American Eulogy at Sheffield Arena 2009, I can't remember ever looking for it on YouTube or anything. I'll take your word for it, only vids I can find are poor quality. One bad show doesn't make for a bad singer though. Otherwise everyone would be slamming Billie.
Slave To The Network Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Billie isn't so hot without a studio either, to be fair. Recently he's been missing more notes than he's been hitting. It's quite painful, actually. Your posts are painful. Maybe you need to stick some scouring pads into your ears and clean them out. Because the last time I checked, Billie was singing fantastically when he's live.
Guest Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 posting your opinions in the opinions thread isn't allowed unless you agree with the masses which kind of goes against the 'unpopular' part, huh?

Because the last time I checked, Billie was singing fantastically when he's live. Why are they painful though? His singing recently has been dire. Case in point. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JDSq1tR-_c Misses half his notes, and shouts to cover it up.
Tubbie Head Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 posting your opinions in the opinions thread isn't allowed unless you agree with the masses which kind of goes against the 'unpopular' part, huh? That's what this thread has always been about
Guest Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 That's what this thread has always been about true, the regular posters just eat your insides if you post something against the grain, or isn't just praising Billie about his amazing hair & mangina. seriously guys, it's called an opinion for a reason, not a fact. calm down even I can see that his singing can go south now and again. I don't agree with Céadagh to a certain degree, I think he has a lovely voice but yeah, it can be shit a lot of the time lately. it's what you get for smoke, drinks & doing drugs for so long then going cold turkey.

Guest Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 shut up I was defending you and fixed my minor error alright I don't think anyone's seriously having a go, just chatting about our opinions. no I get that, I don't see any arguing or anything, I was just stating my opinion on the situation I don't intend to start yelling at anyone or cause a fuss.
belinda jane Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 i just think a lot of people are biased to be honest, and don't even ever want to think that the lead singer of their favourite band has never had a crap performance. one of the worse ones i've ever heard was when they sang '21 Guns' (i think) at the american music awards or something? that was shocking, and i actually posted a status about it on facebook and got absolutely SLAMMED. people were like "AND YOU SAY YOU'RE A GREEN DAY FAN". ..seriously.
