JethroTull Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 (edited) I couldn't find one really good Rare Earth video.

Xtazy Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Roger Taylor (Queen) - I'm in love with my car (1981) . This one rocks so bad! He starts playing at 3:10. I think it takes a great amount of concentration to sing and play drums at the same time. Actually, I'm sure of it! On Rock Montreal DVD, you can hear Roger Taylor saying that it's a nightmare to do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virginia Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 (edited) I had a conversation with a friend recently about drummers who sing, and I could only think of a couple. I would have to go with Don Henley: (this one for the drumming) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pmnX4wHMFM and: (this one for the singing) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmbJFIhs2lk Edited July 30, 2008 by Virginia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electrophile Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Henley and Collins are probably the only two I could name off the top of my head who shared lead singer duties. I wouldn't count Ringo Starr as he sang very infrequently (and when you listen to him you know why). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tight but loose Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 What about Phil Collins?He was a half decent drummer,apart from the laughable attempt at playing with Zep at Live Aid.If you are talking drummers-apart from Bonzo,try Neil Peart from Rush,or for the older generation,Buddy Rich????.....

Electrophile Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Phil Collins has been mentioned. Twice, in fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladymadcap Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 A drummer who can sing, Gil Moore ( I think that's his name) from Triumph. I had an album of theirs w/ 'Spellbound' that he sang on. Cheesy as they were, I quite liked them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirchzep27 Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 The early material from -genesis w/phil collins playing the drums and singing, seemed like really complicated stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHD Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 (edited) JASON!! He's duetted twice with Deborah, he does a lot of backing vocals (you can here him on When Daylight Goes To Town ~ UFO) and somewhere there is recording of him singing Babe I'm Gonna Leave You with Bonham. He also did the "I can't quit you babe.." teaser at the O2. I love Jason's singing, he has a very soulful voice.

Electrophile Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Another vote for Mickey Dolenz. I normally don't care for super poppy-pop music, but I always liked the Monkees. A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You is one of my faves, and was written by Neil Diamond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoubleNecker Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Even though people hate KISS, Peter Criss sings some cool songs from the catalog. I think his voice is comparable to Rod Stewart, (points to Hard Luck Woman). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheesy as they were, I quite liked them. Cheesy? I thought they were great. Triumph's only problem is that everybody compared them to a certain other Canadian trio, when in retrospect, they're very different indeed. Triumph, for one, was more of a stomping rock band, where as Rush is, well you know, Rush. Well, I take some of that back. Both bass players doubled on keyboards, but so did JPJ. I like both groups, but Rik Emmett has one of the finest voices and plays one hell of a guitar. Certainly sings better than Geddy imo. Gil Moore is an underrated drummer. But then again, when you're compared to you know who Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
