Hey D! Why Patton is better than Vedder!

[Tied-Up]

In the Best Frontman thread you posted this:

vedder is better than patton! cmon! like a previous poster stated, no singer in music history has been copied more than Eddie Vedder, that says something

I'm sure that could be argued against quite adequately... How many people have copied (or sound like) Robert Plant, for example?  And of course, David Bowie - Now there's a legend for you.  The list could continue if I were so inclined to do so.

Patton has proven himself more versatile than Vedder (In my opinion).  Vedder may have opened the door for others with his whole "I'm so depressed and now I'm going to subject you to the moaning of my large intestine" soulful sounds but, that doesn't make him a better singer than Patton.

one question






who's the better song writer?

vedder wins

voices are subjective to the listener, your fav singer may suck to me and vice versa

vedder's band was more popular, better known, much deeper catalog of songs plus vedder helped usher in a new change in music

i still dont know any faith no more songs except for that "u want it all but u cant have it song.'


im not much of a pearl jam fan, i wouldnt call myself one because i technically only like 6 or 7 songs

but comparin patton to vedder is like comparin masturbation to well axl rose

did anyone get t hat?

This is about vocalists, for their vocal TALENT not for their song writing ability. 

As far as helping to usher in a new change in music, it can be argued Faith no More did this as well...  They brought a unique, funk-rap style (with cutting edge vocals) to heavy metal/hard rock, they brought something fresh to a heap that was drowning in Bon Jovi wannabes.

Oh, but wait a minute, I forgot, you're into bon jovi, so this argument might be lost on you.

Mike Patton has range and versatility - providing rap-like vocals to songs such as Epic, quirky voices like in Falling to Pieces (These two songs are his two better known songs, but certainly not his best work!), he can rip into hard core rockers (check out Malpractice, Caffeine & Naked In Front of the Computer),  and smooth, almost haunting vocals in songs like Stripsearch. 

As far as commercial success... this means very little, except that they've made more money.  Commercial success is no measure of talent.

I am I guess... on the opposite end of the spectrum from you... I know very little of what Pearl Jam/Vedder has accomplished, because, from album one, I was turned off by his drone.  It reminds me of the sound I make when I get the dry heaves.  So, I haven't really listened to much more of his stuff.  If I want to hear a bile induced choke, I would stick my finger down my throat.

Patton smokes Vedder, end of story!

the thread isnt who has the most vocal talent it was who is the best frontman of the 90's

as a frontman no one was more popular or copied than eddie vedder


vocal talent alone sure patton but this is overall frontman and vedder has been known especially in his earlier days as someone who had that wild axl like frontman energy that was 2nd to none.

Oh, so it's considered good form to stand there and look at your feet for 90 minutes of a concert?  Oh, ok. 

I'm convinced.

Shure, millions have copied Vedder as a frontman.I mean, tons of singers stay sill through all the concert.You cant call Vedder a frontman, you just cant








Baby Slash//

[Stupid Head]

The only reason Vedder is so often copied is because he is the easiest to imitate. A lot of people with next to nothing talent can copy Vedder. He is nothing special.

man you have know idea what you'r talkin' about, your not a FNM fan, and your not really into PJ either!!

N' your judging there singers?!!!

FNM made much more impact on music way more then PJ ever did, even if they are still together!!

N' as for Patton, he's more technical n' talented then ol' Vedder IMO!!

FNM is huge in Australia, i go to any music festivel with my FNM shirt n' people jump at ya everywhere n' just talk about em' n' Patton, PJ are big here to, but FNM are a big influence on alot of bands!!
