Not really music related but: Anyone who has become famous from reality TV.
Times used to be you are famous because you important. Now your important because your famous. Anyone can make quite a bit of money, eg that bitch Jade whatsherface who makes money doing interviews for gossip mags, by just appearing on one of these shows. Annoys the hell outa me.

Either Claypool is just singing that way just for fun (concidering that Primus is a very humorous band), or maybe he just "tries" to sing...who knows? Maybe we should ask him?

I agree that the vocals are sub-par on that album, but I think Roine does a good job most of the time outside of that album.
I don't think Claypool really tries to sing well. It's meant to be that way, but it is quite bothersome at times.

I agree about The Tangent (though I only listened to The Music That Died Alone), Roine Stolt can't sing - but I won't call him impostor.

I have my own personal rule: it's not HOW you reach a sound...it's the final result that matters!
So I'm not complaining about players being no "virtuosi" when the accomplished overall result satisfies me.
That's MY opinion, obviously!

I love the Hawk, but yes, Brock's not exactly a virtuoso. Not a great singer
either. But a great perseverer and useful as a symbol of past hippie
glories. He's written some nice tunes, too.
The Hawk was at its best when Calvert was in. He wasn't the world's best
singer, but an improvement and a great showman.
90% of those guys playing in detuned mope metal bands (Nickelback,
anyone?) have blown 4000$ on a PRS guitar but can't play their way out of
a paper bag. Don't solo any time soon, guys, please...we wouldn't want
you to break a sweat. And the vocals....ick. Ever heard of vocal
harmonies?
Therefore I declare them all imposters. I bite my thumb at them!

I would agree he is a terrible lead player, and an un-remarkable 'rhthym' player, he's not that bad a classical guitarist. The examples are few and far between, sadly. I think the Hawks were a lazy band who never pushed themselves or each other as musicians. 'The Demented Man' from 'Warrior on the Edge of Time' shows that Brock could play a good acoustic guitar part, and write good melodies.
Sh!t singer though...

I saw Brock playing with Hawklords yearsb ago. To my dismay Brock played the whole concert with simply putting his stretched index finger over the frets and going up and down the fretboard! Obviously the guitar had been tuned so he could do this but I was nonplussed!
