FAVORITE MALE SINGERS OF ANY GENRE


Well, we can't leave the guys out can
we?  Who are your favorite male singers of any
genre?  I'm not talking bands here but solo artists.  Of
course, if they were in a band and also went solo you can still name
them such as Jon Bon Jovi or Richie Sambora both of whom are members
of the group Bon Jovi but have also gone solo.  Here's some of
mine from times past to the present:



Frank Sinatra,
Perry Como, Dean Martin, Brook Benton, Jerry Butler, Conway Twitty,
Johnny Cash, Charley Pride, Johnny Tillotson, Donovan,
Eddie Cochran, Gene McDaniels, Glen Yarborough, Neil Young, Bob
Dylan, John Fogerty, John Mellencamp, Eric Clapton, and so many more.



You may also name
your favorite male singer from a band but not the band itself. 
For instance, we all know that Diane loves the band Aerosmith
but she would say Steven Tyler.

Bon Jovi just wrapped up their tour on July 15, 2008 in Madison Square Garden.  No future tours planned at this time so I guess he's just hanging out and looking good.  You can go to www.bonjovi.com and see his video for "I Love This Town" which he did for postseason baseball.  It's great and he looks awesome as usual.   

Hi J


Well he is definately entitled to take a rest...


We were talking about the glam rock days today at work (why you ask...  well I have a Hello Kitty glamrock calendar page LOL)  and one of the girls brought up Bon Jovi along with Poison and Whitesnake and the Crue  and she thought Jon was just too cute   LOL

"Welcome to the Jungle" is for GN"R what "You Give Love A Bad Name" is for Bon Jovi.  I only have one CD by GN"R and that's a greatest hits CD.  I don't know why I never got that much into them except for certain songs.  They are good so I'll have to check them out some more.

"Welcome to the Jungle" is what i call GN"R's anthem, i think they open EVERY show with that song, but like u say, "Sweet Child O' Mine" is by far, the most requested and sung of them all.

  No, I really liked him as an artist but EVERYONE always mentions him ... I was trying NOT to jump on that bandwagon.  Frankly, one of my cousins got me very interested in him (as an individual) back when he was in the Beatles.  She let me read his book "In His Own Write" , which I thought was fantastic.  John was the rebel of the bunch, how could you not love that?


I never did like doing what everyone expected.

Well, I'm glad to hear that you really did like him after all.  There's nothing wrong with being a rebel.  Of course, now I keep hearing that song in my head "He's A Rebel". LOL

Is that the real reason or wasn't he one of your favorite Beatles?  I myself wouldn't have eliminated him when naming the other three but that's just me.

I'd say that one's "everybody's favorite" since it's the only song I hear everyone sing entirely, lol.

Bryan Adams a few postings back.  Love Kevin Cronin from
REO.  Saw them at our State Fair and they were great.  All
the others you mentioned are great too.  I also love Robin
Zander from Cheap Trick.

YES!  I love this video.  I already have it as one of my favorites in my youtube.com account.  When they performed here in P.R two years ago, that song was the highlight of the night.  Axl still has it!  And of course I was in front row!

I wonder if anyone's mentioned Axl Rose?  I think he has one of the most "versatile" voices I've ever heard.  Pretty hard to imitate, although I've seen (and heard) a tribute band called "Get Your Guns" a couple of times here in San Juan and they sound exactly the same as the real thing.

  Hey thanks for taking time out of your busy day to chat,the concert was in Columbia,MD at Merriweather Post Pavillion on 06/17/92.I have no idea where my stub would be but I know I have it somewhere it this house.The venue is pavilion seating under cover and out on the lawn.I had pavilion seats so I would have to guess $30.00.Nils family resides in Maryland so it was a pretty cool thing for them to be there.Nils even joked about how long he has been doing concerts and this was the first time the paid to see him play.                                                       Lenny

Hey no problem.  I love to chat.  My ticket cost me $10.00.  The concert was held during our 11 day festival called Summerfest.  Summerfest has one great big area with several stages for different bands and they also have a big amphitheater.  Some of the seats are covered and some are bleachers and then there is also lawn seating.  We were in the covered seat section.  The other area of Summerfest requires a separate ticket which you must have even if you are only attending the main concert.  The good thing is that there are many ways to get in free to Summerfest and that's what we usually do.  There are many promotion days.  For instance, you can bring three cans of food and get in free.  Then you stay for a few hours and get your hand stamped and you can come back later or just stay all day listening to some great music.  In 1992 we saw a lot of great concerts for very little money at Summerfest.  In fact, that's probably my biggest concert year.


Sounds like you had some great seats for Nils.  It must have given him great joy to have his family present.

  Hi


thank you for adding Paul Rodgers.  I don't think he was here yet although I am not sure but he definately should be.  He has a really powerful voice and I like him a lot.  I don't actually know that  much about him.  


I am going to have to look for that version.

Hi Lenny,


Well, I looked back at my concert ticket stubs and that was the same year I saw them.  It was June 25, 1992 at Summerfest here in Milwaukee.  Do you remember what your ticket cost?  How nice for Nils to have his family there.  I think Burton Cummings has one of the greatest voices I've ever heard.  My favorite song is "Stand Tall".  I love it.

 Hi Janese,it was 1992 and it was a special evening because Nils family was in the audience and Ringo being the showman he is acknowledged it to the crowd and let Nils take center stage for the longest song of the evening.The reason I said Burton Cummings stole the show in an earlier post is because he had the crowd on there feet with the medley of songs he performed and boy was his voice on that night.

Ya I have to give it to you.......  Summer of 69  is a great song.  It expresses alot of great sentiments that I think we all can relate to : )


D.


as for the system and the problems  yes it gets old.  Copy and paste doesn't always work but sometimes it saves me.  If I am doing a long post to someone I might even copy it to an email and leave it there till I see it is updated here.  Should you have to, def. no.   Sorry you are so aggrevated.  Hope things clear up soon.

  Oh yeah, and how about "Everything I Do (I Do It For You)?  Great song.


Don't worry about my aggrevations.  I was just venting.  Things clear up but unfortunately they don't last long.  Been kicked off several times today.

Hey, do you all remember
this........   It was one of John Belushi's best bits
IMHO  : )





 
1976 - Joe Cocker appears on NBC-TV's ``Saturday
Night Live.'' He performs a duet of ``Feelin' Alright'' with John
Belushi in which Belushi does a memorable Cocker imitation.
