[rcrook]

This thread goes off the thread about the worst back up vocalist.

My vote goes to Rob of Hidden In Plain View....R.I.P.

[HangsLikeHeaven]

Wade from Alexisonfire

[silentgoodbye]

Dallas Green - Alexisonfire

[Smash Adams]

the beatles- in general

[HangsLikeHeaven]

[Dan CiTi]

Vincent Accardi
Mike Dirnt
Pete Wentz/Joe Trohman
Stud from Thursday (whose name currently escapes me, either Tom or Steve)

[silentgoodbye]

ya for sure, i prefer his solo work, but it's still a nice addition to alexisonfire

[hailthewarrior]

Aaron Gillepsie, perhaps? (Just vocals alone are killer)

[HangsLikeHeaven]

ya for sure, i prefer his solo work, but it's still a nice addition to alexisonfire

even though I cherise the older work of Alexisonfire, without Dallas, I doubt they'd be as amazing.

[El_Jeffe]

whoever it was (there was a few) that did the back up's on the original keasbey nights (catch 22) record. such energy, they really captured it well on disk to

[emerypearl]

Aaron Gillespie & Rob Freeman

[hailthewarrior]

Vinny from Brand New, as well...
John Nolan/Fred Mascherio from TBS aren't bad either.

I love that record.

[williek311]

Emery has sweet back up vocals

[El_Jeffe]

I love that record.

yea it's a goodie alright mate. one of very few sort of 'ska/punk' albums i actually enjoy. the remake (although i know why they did it) sounds awful i recon haha

Unless you're refering to the screamer live (he doesn't do the album screaming, Toby and Devin do) they have two lead vocalists. Devin has the songs where he does the lead (Playing With Fire) and Toby has songs where he does the lead (Walls), but they're both leads.

[halifaxonfire]

Vinny from Brand New.

[Scott Irvine]

Chris Broach

i was refering to the fact that somebody sings vocals and it sounds good

[duhpunk]

The Beach Boys

[SteveLikesMusic]

Scott - Reel Big Fish
Pat - Weezer
Meg - Meg & Dia
Wade - Alexisonfire

[StepSoftlyGhost]

The guitarist from Life In Your Way backs up the vocalist well. They have a musical connection akin to Alexisonfire's style.

i'm not trying to be a huge pete wentz hater like everyone else, but he really has a horrible voice. even on the albums, he sounds horrible and thats after its been produced.

He sounds like Pete Wentz...I don't think he's amazing but he adds something that Pat doesn't offer.

[abusedcat]

Brandon Saller of Atreyu
Regine from Arcade Fire
Dan Andriano from Alkaline Trio
Josh from Motion City Soundtrack
Paul from FBTMOF
Teppei from Thrice
Tom from JEWTheir is no one named Paul in Fear Before.

[Gumbyjag]

Almost forgot Mike Mogis and Nate Walcott of Bright Eyes. It's sad because all those guest appearances sometimes overshadow their contributions.

[acusticbabe]

ryan ross.

[MIKEY_HORROR]

Nolan from TBS
Dan from Alkaline Trio
Adam from Killswitch Engage (hits some wicked, high pitched screams live) (also a great producer for that genre of "metal")
the girl from Lydia...if she counts as back-up

[Gumbyjag]

Their is no one named Paul in Fear Before.

I meant Adam Fisher. I had his face pictured in my mind and for some reason I called him "Paul".

[NFG4ever]

I like Phil Sneed from SOTY , he could for sure sing as a front man.

[HangsLikeHeaven]

guy from A Thorn For Every Heart

[abusedcat]

Good call. I eally like Adams vocals.

[uh oh smmoreo]

McFly. Beach Boys. PAS/CAL. Any surf pop rock.

[FSASDRUMWARPED]

Brandon saller, drummers that can sing are kickass

[takingshots]

Julio from As Tall As Lions

he sings on practically every song on their ST

[MyDenverMax]

Gotta love how the vocalist for The Black Dahlia Murder does dual vocal parts, he is his own backup of sorts. I have some appreciation for that, it must be hard to do.
