[kj] (OT) Crabcore? What the Fuckin' HELL???

> ..."the only singer who could prolly eat Jaz Coleman alive...


Just that Halford's vocal intensity/ferocity/"pounce" is the only one i can think of that can match Jaz's. If they were both dogs, Halford (what a name for a dog, huh?) may be the only who might shut him up or outbark him, but then there's that menace..."..the menace....."

Hey Sade what do you mean by:

"the only singer who could prolly eat Jaz Coleman alive and not miss a
high note"

Jaz comes nowhere close to some of the high-noters / 5-octavers like Dio,
Mercury, Cornell, Plant, Tyler etc. But then I can't think of anyone else
who'd fit in a list with Jaz either...I've heard a few voices that compare
on power, but "the menace...the menace..."
